It was a quiet night for the most part. A girl wearing an orange top and pink skirt came into the living room. She had long, dark hair and green eyes.

A woman was sitting on the couch. She had black hair like her daughter, but shorter. She was wearing a business suit. "Hey, Mom? What time will they be here?"

"Seven-thirty." The woman told her. "You're really excited about the others coming over."

"Well, who wouldn't be?" A guy entered the room. "They are my best friends, not to mention teammates."

"Ben, you're home early." The woman said.

"Well, it's been a slow day. I figured I could spend some time with my wife and daughter before they showed up."

"So, what exactly did you do today?" The girl asked.

"Jennifer Anne Tennyson, don't use that tone." The woman said.

"It's okay, Julie." Ben said. "I don't mind telling her. Even though she's not gifted like the others, she does have a right to know."

Jen and her best friends already knew about their parents' jobs. They found out about the Plumbers when they were ten, when her two friends developed powers. They were told stories about their parents when they were their age.

"So, whatever happened to that watch anyway?"

"That's a story for another time." Since things had been settling down, Ben decided to put the Omnitrix away because he didn't want to endanger his family.

Ship came into the room. "There you are!" Jen ran over to him. "We were playing hide-and-seek earlier. I couldn't find him anywhere."

"I told you Ship was good at hiding, sweetie." Julie reminded her. "There were times where even I couldn't find him."

The doorbell rang. The others came in. Ship jumped onto Jen's shoulder. She started laughing. "Down boy!" She said.

"Looks like Ship hasn't changed." The others turned to face the others. There were two kids about Jen's age. The girl had long, red hair and blue eyes. The boy had short, dark hair and dark eyes. They looked similar to their parents.

"He sure hasn't." Julie said, stepping over to them. "It's nice to see you, Gwen."

"Nice to see you again, too, Julie." Gwen told her. "We would've been sooner, but that mission kept us delayed."

"Aunt Gwen! Uncle Kevin!" Jen ran over to them.

"Hey, Jen. How's it been going?" Kevin said. "You've gotten taller since we last saw you."

"She's on the track team at our school." The red-head explained.

"Allison, Aaron, always nice to see you around." Julie said.

"I've been so busy at school lately that we've barely had time to just hang out." Jen said.

"Well, you are training for the next meet." Aaron pointed out.

"We'll be in my room." Jen told the others. "Come on, guys." Ship followed them. "How has your practice been going?"

"Pretty well. I've just finished learning some spells." Allison told her. She had her mother's powers. In addition, she also got part of her dad's, only her armor was weaker.

Her twin, Aaron, only got their father's powers. He rarely used it, though, because of what he heard of their past. "You're lucky. Sometimes I wish our powers were opposite."

"I hear that." Allison said. "My armor practically breaks as soon as something hits it."

"Wasn't Kevin teaching you that?" Jen asked.

"Only Aaron knows about it. He's been teaching me." Allison said.

"Ali!" Aaron yelled. Jen giggled.

"You guys are so cool. Sometimes things can get a little boring."

"Ship!" Jen looked down. Ship sat by her side.

"Our mom told us about how Ship helped on various missions." Allison explained.

"He's also good at listening to others problems." Jen said. "Dad told me."

"How about after your next meet we go down to get a smoothie?" Aaron asked.

"Sounds like a good idea." Jen said. "Besides, it's been a while since we've all really had a chance to hang out."

"For the three of us, anyway. We're twins, remember?" Allison stated.

"Yeah, but my dad and Gwen spent that summer together." Jen pointed out. "At that time, they hated each other's guts."

"True, but Allison and I are like this." Aaron crossed his fingers. "Until she really gets on my nerves."

"Thanks, bro." Allison said. She pulled out a small spellbook from her back pocket. "But you understand that I'm going to have to…

"Oh, no." Jen just sat back and watched.
