    The next day Ben had woken up like normal, except the fact he had a really weird dream. He saw Rachnera, and it looked like she had scratched someone on accident.

He went downstairs and saw that Kimihito was nowhere in sight, "morning girls" he said. "Oh morning Ben san" Mero greeted, "say where's Kimihito" the alien shapeshifter asked, "Master has gone out to reimburse the food receipts" Centorea said.

"Oh so who's making breakfast?" Ben asked, "its actually lunch and that'd be Miia" the centaur said pointing to the lamia who was mixing some sort of weird concoction.

"Should I be concerned about those purple fumes?" Ben asked, "also I had a stange dream, for some reason I felt like I was in Rachnera's memories, I saw her accidentally scratch a girl, I think I was using my alien powers in my sleep again" he said.

"Oh an alien can enter people's dreams, interesting" Centorea said, "and speak of the devil the devil shall appear" the Arachne in question spoke up, "oh afternoon" Ben said. "Mail's here" Lala said from behind them, the two extra species girls were startled as heck while Ben turned his arm into Diamond head's, "god, please warn someone when you give their mail to them" Ben said.

"You startled me" Rachnera said, "cans't thou not give warning when thou appearest" Centorea said, "tis rare that any of us to receive any letters, one for me, Miia, Papi even Ben" she added on.

"Thou hast anything to cut with and no the scythe will not suffice", "I have claws" Ben said turning his finger into Wild Mutt's claw and tore the letters open. "Oh thank you" Miia said, the teen hero noticed that Rachnera had crumpled her letter up and threw it into the garbage, "what ail's thee? Miia's "something" should be ready soon" Centorea said.

"Don't call it something" Miia said indignantly, "Suu can have my share, I'm just going to head back to my room" the Arachne said,  "what do you suppose is the matter?" Mero asked, "maybe she wants to snore away until lunch" Miia said.

"Don't think so, did that once regretted it a lot" Ben said, all of a sudden Suu started to slime out of the garbage van with Rachnera letter on her head feeler, "Suu what're you doing in the garbage can" Miia said, "oh isn't that the letter mistress Rachner just tossed" Mero inquired. "I'll say" Ben said, Suu urged her to read it, Ben decided to go get a drink of water, he made sure not to get himself wet on account of what had happened the first time.

He then heard the others yelp, he rushed into the living room "what's going on?" He asked, "this letter was from mistress Rachnera's original Host family saying they want her to stay with them again, and they were the ones who relinquished their rights to be a host family" Mero explained.

"Okay any of you mind getting me up to speed" Ben said, they explained that Rachnera had stayed with another host family before, but they relinquished their rights to be her host to a sleazy director.

"Okay there should be a law saying you can't do that" Ben said, "Spidey's gonna leave us" Papi cried, "we can't be for certain" Ben said, at that moment the door bell rang, "the session will take place... RIGHT NOW" Mero exclaimed when the bell rang.

    A high school girl was at the door named Kunanzuki Ren, who was from Rachnera's previous host family, "as our spider friend said, speak of the devil the devil shall appear" Ben said.

He wanted to avoid the session on account after an itching episode he suffered from a delegating a peace treaty between two separate species of aliens.

"Not going through that again" he muttered turning into Omni, shrinking down to Gray Matter's size. "Now to find a nice quiet place or activity to pass the time" the tiny alien said right when the girl yelled, "I asked 'em to leave it to me! Especially since Rachnera san's leaving was my fault!", now that really got Ben in the ears granted he didn't have any at the moment.

He walked out side and spotted various model car sets hidden in the bushes, "well what do we have here, numerous models of different spy vehicles from the James Bond movies, and oh and look miniature engines, and if I remember I have a lot of proto-tech resources from my world" the little alien said.

"This'll be fun" he carried all of them into the house without being seen, he took them to his room and decided to go back down, he'd figure that it might be funny.

And to his amusement it was, due to Papi's forgetfulness he laughed his heart out as she tried to get the harpy to remember he name, he then caught word of what Miia and Centorea were saying about testing her to see if she should have Rachnera back. He agreed to this logic when he joined up with them, the first test was giving her what Miia was making, her "food" ultimately become soup.

"Neigh... this can't be a typical meal... I should never permit such a thing" Centorea said, Ben was gagging at the smell, 'not even a gourmand would eat that' he thought, he heard Mero say something about that being a personal issue of the lamia's, "DON'T CALL IT A PERSONAL ISSUE!" She yelled.

"Regardless, let's just take it away before... AAAAHHHHH!?" Ben was saying before they saw the poor thing on the table unconscious. "SHE DIED AFTER EATING IT!?" Centorea exclaimed. "Actually she went down after smelling it" Papi said, "I'm really bummed out" Miia said.

Ren then got up again and tried to eat it but passed out. "Guess she was still alive, quick stop her" Ben said as she kept trying to eat Miia's concoction. Then a few familiar tentacles wrapped around the girl and started... well you get the picture.

"Hey what is this!? Some sort of inter species greeting!?" Even said, "MORE LIKE MO..." Ben was saying and trying to grab her out of Suu's slime grasp. When Centorea stopped him by tackling him, "neigh, let Suu do it, we have to make sure she's capable of handling more physically embracing Extra species" she stated.

Ben disagreed but had no ability to say anything considering his face was shoved into her chest. 'SERIOUSLY DID I LAND IN AN ANIME UNIVERSE FULL OF FAN SERVICE!?!?!?!' He thought. (Technically he's not wrong this is sort of an anime universe. But don't judge me I don't read the manga for the reason you think so don't make that face... HEY I SAW YOU!!! {slaps reader}).

He managed to squirm out of Centorea's hold to save Ren only to have the human high schooler throw her uniform at Ben and Miia. Then Suu changed targets to both of them, "HEY WHY IS SHE ATTACKING ME ALL OF A SUDDEN!?!?!?!?!?!?" The Lamia squealed. "HEEEEELLLLLLPP!!!" Ben screamed clinging to the door while being pulled by Suu.

"What just happened?" Papi asked, "not exactly sure" Mero said, Ben then grabbed Centorea in hopes of getting anchoring. Only to have Suu pull her as well, I'll leave what just transpired to you Imagination.

Now the three were in the living room, Ben was quivering, "I really didn't need to experience that" he said. "I really didn't", "for a super hero you sure didn't handle that well" Centorea muttered. "I HEARD THAT!!!!" Ben retorted "at least you weren't the one she kept on most of the time" he added.

"Calm down" Miia admonished sweetly, "don't get too upset, don't want Suu to get you again right?". The teen shivered, "any ways, where'd Ren go?" Ben asked, "oh if thine remember I saw Mero take her up to her room for new clothes" the centaur stated.

Ben then raced up to his room and brought back down one of the model car sets and an engine and a few Prototool equipment. "So anyone want to pass the time?" He asked, both shrugged and decided to join him. Ben had went Omni and shrunk to Gray matter size and started assembling, then turned the Proto tech into car parts that were needed.

The girls had told read him the instructions, "okay last one" he said putting the steering wheel in. "Okay now in gonna start it up" he said, then the model vehicle revels like a real car. "Awesome" he said getting out, "interesting, that form though small has incredible intelligence" Centorea complimented on Gray Matter mode.

"Why thank you, there was a reason I called him Gray Matter" Omni said jumping off the table and grow to normal height. "Rachnera has been up there for a while now" he said, "maybe one of us should check on her" Miia said. They all looked at a now human Ben, "seriously? Right after that episode?" He asked, they glared at him.

"Okay okay geeze, but if I get put in a bind you are all in trouble" he said before walking upstairs. Once he found the door to the attic he knocked on it "Rachnera? It's Ben" he said. "Yes? What is it?" The Arachne asked, "mind if I come up and talk?" He asked.

She opened her attic door and allowed him inside, he was currently using Goop's acidity in case she was going to bind him again. When he entered he saw her wearing a white long sleeve button up and dragging a suitcase behind her. "So what did you want to talk about?" She asked the alien hero, "well a girl just arrived here, she says she was from your original host family" Ben answered.

"Ren Kunanzuki?" Rachnera asked, Ben nodded. "Yup that's her" Ben spoke up "are you going to leave? Sorry Suu picked your letter out of the trash" he admitted. "I don't know, maybe if things go well but..." the Arachne started to shudder a little.

Ben walked up to her turning off Goop's acidity "you accidentally hurt her didn't you?" He asked. She flinched, "accidentally scratched her, the family overreacted?" He asked again. "If you want to know how I did I unconsciously used the power of my alien Pesky dust in my sleep".

"Pesky dust?" Rachnera asked confused, "an alien who can look into people's dreams, I accidentally saw your memory. Sorry about invading your personal space" he said waiting to get hit, scratched or binded. However instead of the above the Arachne hugged him.

She spoke up "how much did you see?" Rachnera asked, and judging by her voice she was crying. "Enough, you were minding your own business when Ren came up to you" he answered. He too started crying, the Arachne was trying to shoo her away until the girl got to close and she scratched her by accident.

Then her parents came and started to avoid her more. Only reminding her of how people view her and other Extra species, a monster. He ended up doing more than just seeing her memory, he also experienced what she went through. Felt what she felt, not like it was the first time, Ben had felt hated and discriminated when he was stuck as Omni.

One week he was fighting Liam and Thunder pig as Omni and the stupid boar hit his Omnitrix. It ended up keeping Ben in that form and for the entire week multiple alien races had kept making fun of his new form. Saying that a hybrid of a million aliens is basically the... well I'm not saying it.

He ended up getting extremely mad, to the point of destroying an asteroid. Granted the asteroid was uninhabited and actually headed to earth. Fortunately Gwen managed to calm him down, and Kevin was the only one who showed sympathy. Ben had been confused as to why until he remembered that Kevin was also in his shoes.

Being a hybrid of every alien race he had turned into, and hating it. Now the hero knew how his friend felt in his shoes. And as of right now he was trying to calm his arachnid friend down, having now being able to open up to some one who experienced the things she did.

For the past few minutes she was crying into his shoulder. And luckily he managed to calm her down, "So you're going to go through?" He asked. She made a small smile, "not sure, but we'll see how it goes, also thanks for letting me open up" she said. Ben smiled, "any ti..." he was cut off by a pair of lips pressing against his.

Rachnera had kissed him out of appreciation, Ben was very flustered that she had lip locked him. Then ended up melting into it, she released him and giggled "and here I thought Honey was the only human who liked my spider features. Though you've been labeled a Linimal Ben, I know your human" she said. "And judging from that kiss, you seemed to do also" she teased that time.

The teen hero had turned completely red, "well, you were the one who kissed me first" he said. Rachnera giggled again then they both walked down stairs. Only to see that their host had returned handing drinks to everyone, he gave Ben a smoothie. "Thanks" he said, clearly he hasn't had one in a few days.

The next thing either of them knew the twerp ran away, AND WITH MERO'S CLOTHES!?. "Wait ms Ren you forgot your clothes, and Wait bring back mine!" The mermaid cried. Ben had taken the uniform sped outside and came back with Mero's outfit. "Here you go" he said giving the mermaid her clothing, "thanks" she said.

"Thanks for allowing Rachnera to open up and let out her issues" Kimihito said to Ben. He had a surprised look, "Miia saw you two" the host answered, then Rachnera pulled both of them to her. "Man Honey! I'm glad you got rid of her!" She said in a drunk voice, "she Always kept bugging me and her house was so small". Little while later the Arachne was speed weaving and there were webs all over the house.

"What's going on with Rachnera!?" Miia asked concerned while Centorea tried to swipe the webs away. Little known fact about spiders, coffee makes them drunk and Arachne, being similar to spiders, have the same affect. In addition aside from Ben Kimihito got coffee for everyone, that included Rachnera.

"What's going to happen right now?" The shapeshifter asked turning into Omni and shrinking down to size. Only to be seized by Rachnera and transformed back. "She was an annoying little masochist I hated her!" She declared. "Thanks for always looking out for us Honey, you always see us as women and not monsters" she said. Then turned to Ben, "and Ben, thanks for letting me open up, you allow yourself to listen to our issues, and endure the struggles we have" she said then all three of them fell down.

"And that's the reason, I love Honey, and Ben, I think your starting to become a favorite of mine" Rachnera then continued their little session. This had managed to startle everyone, Ben had been stunned then passed out from a very intense nose bleed. "Hmm hmmm, tease" the Arachne said before passing out herself.

"New rule, no coffee for Rachnera" Kimihito said, everyone nodded then turned their attention to the two. Ben was now in his little pool of blood while Rachnera was laying on top of him humming little of the song timber.

"He he" the rest chuckled at the scene.
