Rover (TLKOE) and Ben Tennyson

On one hand Ben was glad that school was cancelled but on the other hand several monsters and zombies had attacked his neighborhood. He was relieved when he saw his parents on one of the buses headed to a safe location. He stayed behind to help everyone else escape, which now leaves him all alone in his neighborhood as everyone else left. He didn't know how Grandpa and Gwen were doing. They're probably fine though as Grandpa has his tech weapons and Gwen has her magic.

Ben looked at his Omnitrix and saw that it was still red. He use his final minutes to save some younger kid who was cornered by zombies. The reason Ben didn't get on the bus was because he was still in the form of Diamondhead, and if it timed out he would be exposed.

Since then, he took refuge in the school and waited for his Omnitrix to turn green again. His hometown was practically vacant. Oh, except for those monsters and zombies.

Outside, zombies roamed on the road, before being tramples by something huge, blue, and slobbery. The plants and giant monsters that tried to grab the blue blur it were too slow.

The blue blur was none other than, Rover, the blue-furred, canine-like monster. Rover stopped, digging his feet into the dirt and leaving claw marks on the road. He sniffed the air and detected the scent of a human child, he turned and saw the scent was coming in the direction of a school.

Rover panted happily with his tongue lolling out, dripping sloppily with excitement. He loved playing with humans. He bounded toward the school, smashing through the front doors and down the hallway.

Ben jumped when he heard the loud sounds of the front door opening and the sound of something huge galloping inside the school. He peeked his head out of the gymnasium, he was hiding in to see a blue monster, heading in his direction.

The kid immediately slammed the door shut, only for Rover to barge through. Ben fell on to his back and crawled away his Omnitrix was still red, so he couldn't go hero mode.

The blue beast leaped upon the kid, who closed his eyes and awaited his fate.

Instead of the feeling of razor teeth tearing his face off, he felt the long and rough tongue drag from his chin all the way up to his forehead, leaving his entire face covered in saliva. Ben blinked in confusion and looked at the beast, who had pinned him down. Only to recoil in disgust as slobber dripped from Rover's maw and on to his face.

Rover's tongue lolled up as he looked adoringly down at the human. He lowered his head and gave the child another long lick.

"MMMPH!" Ben's arms flailed as he laid there, the massive tongue easily stretching his face out. Both of his squishy cheeks and his nose were forcibly pushed up at the same time, thanks to the strong lick. Thankfully for Ben, the tongue soon flicked off of his forehead, his brown hair now slicked back.

Rover panted as he moved back, allowing Ben to get to his feet while wiping his face off.

"Well...least I know which side you're on..." The boy said with a chuckle.

Rover let out a deep bark that nearly made the boy jump before giving the brown haired boy a big lick to the cheek, Ben was forced to close one eye as his cheek was rolled up and he was lifted up to the tip of his toes

The friendly blue monster finally flicked his tongue off the boy, making the giggling Ben land on his bottom. He stood up and wiped his cheek before saying.

"Sit!"

Rover sat down on his haunches, panting happily with his tongue out on the side and his tail wagging back and forth.

"Up!" Ben commanded.

Rover stood on his hind legs, towering over Ben and having his shadow cover the boy.

"Gotcha!" Ben pounced on to Rover's stomach. The preteen was not strong enough to take the monster dog down to the floor so Ben just clung to Rover's fur.

However, Rover decided to play along and fall on to his back, shaking the room a bit because of his weight.

Ben giggled at this, then noticed something underneath Rover's fur on his neck. He reached under it and saw that it was a collar with a name tag that said 'Rover'.

"Rover?" Ben asked as he stared at the blue dog's face. Rover barked in confirmation.

Ben smiled. He loved dogs, especially big mutated ones.

"You are such an awesome dog!" Ben cooed, as he began scratching Rover's belly. "Yes, you are! An awesome, slobbery dog that can kick butt!"

Rover leaned his head back with his dripping tongue on the side as he kicked his back leg in happiness as he enjoyed his belly being scratched. Eventually, Ben stopped scratching and got off his new furry friend.

Rover reminded Ben a lot of Wildmutt. He chuckled at the thought of that big, orange, slobbery, dog-alien. Hey, maybe if he got lucky Wildmutt could come out of the Omnitrix again and play with Rover. He'll have to figure out a way to return all those zombies and monsters from wherever they came from but he was determine to keep his new friend. He'll have to convince Grandpa and give him his best puppy-dog eyes in order to keep Rover.

Ben yelped as Rover grabbed him by the scruff of his shirt and placed him on his back.

"Whoa, are you serious?!" Ben said. Rover turned his head and let out a deep bark.

"Go, Rover!"

Ben held on tightly as Rover dashed out of the school and on to the road, evading both zombies and monsters.
