When Gwen realized Ben was being bullied at school, she went and beat the crap out of Cash. She left J.T. alone, but warned him with the same fate.

After that, they never messed with Ben again.

Talkin about Elka. Before she decided to shove herself in between them, anyway

J.T.: *sucks in a deep breath* Ben, I'm ready to let bygones be bygones.

Ben: ...

Gwen: Go on, Ben, he won't bite.

Ben: He might not bite, BUT I WILL.

Ben 10 OV Shoujo Anime AU, because YOLO

Fun fact: I wanted to write my own manga when I was younger. However, I realized how much work it actually took, what little artistic skill I had at the time, how little I understood the way manga was supposed to be read, and how meager my chances were of going big and getting my own anime. So, I decided to make it a fictional manga series Courtney likes in Ben 10. Still, I thought it'd be fun to post the concepts of it here! Behold, my failed anime that never came to be: "This Love is Like an RPG" ("Kono Aha RPG" in Japanese, I think)

(I picked this song for the opening, since it seemed to fit the most)

STARRING! Ben Tennyson as the protagonist! Courtney Lawrence as the heroine! Kevin Levin as the token wingman! Gwen Tennyson as the token wingWOMAN! Julie & Herve as the classic love rivals! Grandpa Max as the mentor figure! Special guest-starring Cash & J.T. as the jealous bullies!

Courtney is the girl of Ben's dreams, but how could he think of telling her?

Childhood friends don't have romantic feelings for their childhood friends!

That kind of stuff could only happen in...fiction!

It's always been their dream to create a video game of their own design: why not put it to use?

So, unbeknownst to Courtney, Ben uses the development of their original project "Smoothy Quest", the adventure/visual novel RPG, to confess his feelings for her.

How does it work?

Simple: Ben subtly self-inserts himself, Courtney, and their friends as the characters and designs the game around all their interactions.

Each level is the places they hang out most: school, Mr. Smoothy's, etc.

The bosses are every single person and/or thing standing in the way of Ben's love.

By defeating these obstacles and making it to the end, perhaps Courtney will see Ben is trying to win his prize in real life too!

But making a game is easier said than done, and the two find themselves a bit understaffed.

So, they gather help from friends and family alike to have a chance at getting their game on the shelves.

Gwen makes for a decent script writer and tech support, Kevin is an AMAZING software engineer, Julie is on audio engineering, and Herve works on animation and art, as well as French interpretation and translation.

Grandpa Max supervises the whole situation and offers his help where needed.

With the lead game designers at the helm, it all seems to be going well.

They face the normal challenges of a game designer, such as deadlines, cruddy reviews, glitches during progress, and more.

But together, they take it all in stride until they're ready for release.

Of course, you can't forget your run-of-the-mill slice of life bits of the series as well, including school drama, romantic off-campus moments, and comedy, comedy, COMEDY around every corner!

Though Ben puts his heart and soul into developing this game-gone-declaration-of-love, it pushes Courtney away, who wishes he'd be the boy he was before, just living out the lives that now serve as mere reference.

The climax of the series is when their game gets pirated, stolen by a mystery thief. (It's quite obviously the bullies, DUH-)

By the end of it all, Ben ditches the honorifics and just comes clean to Courtney about his true feelings traditionally, the words meaning more to her than any videogame-bound confession would.

And, of course, you can't forget the OVA season "This Love is Like an RPG: Secret Ending."

Which is basically just the aftermath, Ben and Courtney's lives after they start dating, what's become of Smoothy Quest, etc.

The name James seems to be so subconsciously hated that every character ever named James has a nickname.

James Rhodes - Rhodey (Marvel)

James P. Sullivan - Sulley (Monsters Inc.)

James Tiberius Yorke - J.T. (Degrassi)
