Ben 10 belongs to Cartoon Network and Man of Action. I only own Rachel, Zeus, Apollo, Cetus, and Taurus.

More Family From The Stars

"Ah, a peaceful day for once," said Alien X as he leaned back in the recliner chair.

"You said it," Cassie said with a giggle as she was stretched out on a couch beside him. "Though I wish Dad was home."

"I know what you mean," Rachel said as she walked in to catch that last part. "I miss Rook."

Both the Revonnahgander and Tetramand were away on a mission, but were on their way home last the family had heard, which was a relief as they had been away for almost a week.

Cassie giggled as Alien X reached over and tickled her feet, making her quickly pull her feet back. "Uncle X!" She groaned good-naturedly.

"What? I'm bored," he said playfully.

Rachel laughed. "Tickling does cure boredom," she said.

Cassie quickly got up before her uncle could get her. "How about I get us all a snack?" She suggested.

"Sounds good to me," Alien X said.

"Sure," Rachel said.

The teenager headed for the kitchen, humming as she pulled out some cake and got three plates. "Well, well, who is this sweet little one?" Came an unfamiliar voice that made her freeze.

"Her name is Cassie," said another unfamiliar voice. "Four Arms' daughter."

Cassie slowly turned around and her eyes widened at seeing two Celestialsapiens behind her. Both were tall with one wearing a dark blue cloak and had three gold bands on his upper arms along with red-and-brown eyes. The other had two gold bands and one blue band on his upper arms and blue-and-silver eyes. They not only looked powerful, but the bands on their arms alone told her that these two were high officials of the Celestialsapien Courts. Granted, she had met Zeus and he had proven to be kind, but she wasn't sure if the other officials were as kind. She set down the plates and began backing away.

"What's the matter, little one?" The cloaked Celestialsapien asked in concern.

"It seems she is unsure of us," said the other one. "She is a little shy around those she doesn't know."

He turned to her. "Cassie, you needn't be afraid, young one," he said, moving closer to her.

Getting a bit scared now, she turned to run, but cloaked arms caught her and a hand clapped over her mouth to prevent her from screaming. "Shh, calm down," said the Celestialsapien that had her, having teleported to in front of her.

"Hmm. Perhaps we should help her calm down," said the other one before chuckling. "I wonder how ticklish she is."

Cassie's eyes widened. "From that reaction, I'd say she's very ticklish," said the cloaked Celestialsapien before he teleported all three of them to his friend's room, letting the child go when they arrived.

Cassie moved away from him and felt more afraid when she saw him lock the door. She turned to the window, but before she could reach it, two strong arms wrapped around her. "Cassie, we're not going to hurt you," the blue-and-silver-eyed alien cooed to her.

"Perhaps we should introduce ourselves," said the other, coming up to them as Cassie turned to look at them. "I'm Cetus, one of the high officials of the Celestialsapien Courts."

"And I'm Taurus, also one of the high officials," said the one holding her. "Though, you might remember me as Judge Forhowser."

Cassie's jaw dropped as she looked at him. "Wait. You mean, like how Uncle Apollo was Sergeant Williams?" She asked.

Taurus chuckled. "That's right," he said. "Which means that uncle of yours can never take you away, because your adoption was authorized by a high-official Celestialsapien."

The young girl was surprised to hear that and Cetus chuckled. "Now, how about that tickle torture?" He asked.

Cassie had no time to react as fingers wiggled into her sides and she laughed, scrunching up her shoulders and giggling as both her neck and ears were tickled. "My, my, listen to that laugh," said Taurus with a chuckle before picking up the teenager and placing her on the bed. Cetus at once formed energy cuffs around the girl's ankles and set to tickling her feet, making her squeal and laugh, especially when Taurus began tickling her underarms at the same time.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Cassie laughed out, squirming harder when Cetus began tickling her knees and lower legs while Taurus moved the teenager's shirt up just enough to expose her stomach and wiggled all ten fingers into her tickle spot.

"Sounds like she's starting to feel better," said Cetus.

"We better make sure," Taurus said before blowing a raspberry right over Cassie's belly button.

"EEEEEEEEEEEE! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Cassie laughed, squirming harder now, but the energy cuffs around her ankles held her in place and she squealed again as Taurus focused on her belly button now, blowing more raspberries right over the ticklish area while Cetus tickled the young girl right underneath her toes.

"Cootchie, cootchie, coo!" He cooed to her.

"Who's our ticklish niece?" Taurus asked playfully before both he and Cetus let her up, the energy cuffs disappearing as Cassie lay on the bed, taking some deep breaths to recover. Feeling a hand on her shoulder, she turned to see the blue-and-silver eyed Celestialsapien was smiling as he picked her up. "Are you still afraid of us, Cassie?" He asked.

She shook her head. "No," she said before smiling. "I doubt you both would have tickled me if you were dangerous and Aunt Rachel doesn't let the rude Celestialsapiens come here."

"We know what you mean," Cetus said. "We've had to deal with them more than once."

"No kidding," Zeus said as he and Apollo came in. The former smiled at his niece. "I see you've met two of my good friends, little one."

She nodded before looking curious. "By the way, how did Cetus know about me?" She asked. "Taurus knew me because he authorized my adoption papers."

Apollo chuckled. "I told him about you," he admitted. "Cetus has been wanting to meet all the children here."

"But of course," Cetus said with a smile.

Zeus chuckled. "It's no secret we high officials have huge soft spots for little ones," he said.

"Really?" Cassie asked in surprise.

"Of course," said Taurus with a chuckle. "Children are the future, after all."

"And very cute to boot," said Apollo, gently pinching the left side of the girl's face, making her giggle.

Rachel and Alien X came into the room. "I thought I heard someone come in," the young woman said with a smile. "Hello, Cetus. Hello, Taurus."

"Hello, my dear," Taurus said, pulling her into a hug.

"How are you, young one?" Cetus asked, also giving her a hug.

"I'm good, thank you," she said.

Cassie giggled as she reached for Alien X, who accepted her from Taurus. "We were wondering where you were, little one," he said with a chuckle.

She giggled again. "I got surprised by two more uncles," she said before looking curious. "But wait." She turned to Rachel. "Aunt Rachel, did you know that Judge Forhowser was really Uncle Taurus?"

"Not until recently, sweetie," Rachel said with a smile. "Taurus helped me to put my birth father away to prison."

"That's right," Taurus said with a smile.

Cassie grinned again. "I've got the coolest family ever," she said.

"No doubt about that, little one," said Alien X. "Now, how about that snack for real?"

Everyone agreed and headed downstairs for a snack and family time.

Happy Birthday, guestsurprise! Hope it's a blast! :)
