Ben 10 Porn Story: Postbellum Concerns Chapter 4
Modern Day Brat-Pack
Normally Kevin didnt mind listening to music when he drove- but that was only when he picked the music.
Can someone tell me what the hell this is? he demanded.
Its Lil Mama, Julie said from the back as if it was something Kevin should know from the get-go.
Duh, Gwen said, also from the back. Kevin could hear the slight smirk in her voice.
Come on, Kevin, Ben said, We cant all be angry and rebellious like you. Sometimes we gotta get loose, he sang the last part, which sent Julie and Gwen into fits of giggles in the back.
No. We are not getting loose, Kevin snapped, changing the radio station, We are staying uptight and listening to something else! Whose idea was that anyway?
Mine, Julie reminded him, My turn to pick the music, remember?
No! No turns! My car, we listen to my music!
Unfortunately for Kevin, by that point Julie knew full well he was all bark and no bite- especially when it came to her and Gwen. The two of them had discussed late one night the reasons for his non-confrontational semi-chivalry; they couldnt decide if it was because of a lack of girls in the Null Void, strict etiquette training as a child that just stuck, or a combination of the two.
Come on, Kevin, Gwen said, It is Julies turn.
WALF, Julie said as Kevin grumbled and Ben changed the station. She squealed, Oh my god, I love this song!
Me too! Gwen said excitedly.
Kevin and Ben furrowed their brows, listening to the lyrics. Behind them, Gwen and Julie sang along.
I dont get it, Ben said finally. If you seek Amy?
Kevin froze, Wait.
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy! Julie and Gwen chorused.
Bens eyes grew as wide as dinner plates and he gaped at Kevin. Kevin did the same.
Changing station! Ben declared, Right now! He ended up just turning the radio off altogether.
You guys are no fun, Gwen said.
No, you just have bad taste in music, Kevin turned around in his seat to look at the girls, Who was that anyway?
Britney Spears, Julie said.
Duh, Gwen added.
I dont think these two should be allowed together- ever, Kevin said. Ben nodded, praying that his girlfriend and cousin didnt see him doing so.
Gwen, Julie whispered, You pick the music- he cant say no to you.
I hate to take advantage of him like that, Gwen said before quieting for a moment, Oh well! she climbed up and over the gearshift, Excuse me, boys.
What now? Kevin cried pathetically.
Nothing bad, Gwen promised, hoping she wasnt flashing anyone as she tuned the radio.
Oh! Ben exclaimed, Oh! Dude, I know this song!
Gwen sat back down and all was silent in the car except for the sound of John Parr. Suddenly all hell broke loose when the chorus began and the three youngest began singing at the top of their lungs.
What is this? Kevin asked, staring as Ben began singing about flying with eagles.
St. Elmos Fire, Gwen said, Like the movie.
The movie, Kevin echoed.
Yeah, Julie said, You know, with the brat pack? he gave her a blank look, Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall
Molly Ringwald, Demi Moore, Gwen continued, Andrew McCarthy
Judd Nelson! the two finished together, sighing overdramatically.
Who?
I just know the song, Ben said defensively, I dunno who theyre talking about either.
Judd Nelson! Julie repeated, You mean youve never seen The Breakfast Club?
What, do they make pancakes or something? Kevin asked.
Gwen and Julie looked at each other and rolled their eyes.
Ben felt as lost as Kevin.
The Breakfast Club is perhaps the most influencial teenage movie ever, Julie explained, And Judd Nelson played the criminal in the movie.
It was about a group of teenagers who all got detention together, Gwen said, And each of the characters was from a different clique. So there was an athlete, that was Emilio Estevez, a princess- she was played by Molly Ringwald. Ally Sheedy was the loony-
Basketcase, Julie added.
Right, Gwen said, And Anthony Michael Hall was the geek.
Technically he was the geek in Sixteen Candles, Julie corrected, In The Breakfast Club he was the brain.
Same difference, Gwen said, Anyway, by the end, Molly Ringwald and Judd Nelson hooked up and Ally Sheedy and Emilio Estevez hooked up and Anthony Michael Hall was just sort of by himself with his essay.
Yeah, Julie agreed.
Ben and Kevin stared at the girls.
So Kevin said slowly, The rebel ended up with the princess?
Criminal, Julie corrected.
The criminal Kevin echoed softly, turning around in his seat, Right. The criminal and the princess.
Immediately an air of unease settled into the small car.
After a bit, Gwen cleared her throat, Yeah, its really great- totally romantic. Gives hope to criminals and princesses everywhere. Once more, she reached over the gearshift, this time grabbing Kevins hand firmly in her own.
Kevin knew what she was trying to say- its not your fault. Youve changed. Magister Ghilhil pardoned you. Youre a good person.
I love you.
He squeezed her hand.
She smiled.
Ben cleared his throat, Uh you know, Im kind of an athlete. You know soccer and everything?
Gwen coughed.
Julie said, Are you calling me a basketcase?
Kevin coughed in an attempt to cover a laugh.
Okay, Gwen sat back down, My turn to pick the music!
You just picked it! Ben protested.
No, I was picking it on behalf of Julie, Gwen said smugly, nudging Kevin in the shoulder, Just change it to whatever.
He changed the station and grinned, Nine Inch Nails it is!
