Ben 10:The Last Generation (pre)

**Beginning with a flashback to September 2005 on Earth # 6, after Dawn Von Ra'ad attempts to set Ben 10 up with a girl at the bar, she mentions that she has no friends in New York. The gang quickly state that now she does and Gwen Tennyson-Levin mentions that the only way she'll let anyone have sex with Dawn Von Ra'ad is if someone marries her. The show then flashes forward to the wedding reception and Dawn Von Ra'ad and Marcus Leroy Jackson are dancing. In between them, Ben 10 sees Elena Validus for the first time.**

**Marcus Leroy Jackson notices the bass player as the person who convinced him to get the girl and asks her if she is still dating anyone. When she shakes her head no, Marcus Leroy Jackson realizes that he should introduce her to Ted, so he quickly rushes over and attempts to get Ted to listen. Ben 10, on the other hand, mentions that he's got to go.**

**After a teary goodbye with the gang, Ben 10 sits at the train station waiting for the train which is forty-five minutes late. Next to him, to whom he has been telling the story, Matthew Kling as an old lady that encourages him to go back to the wedding to find the bass player. He asks Ben 10 that if there was a sign for him to go and speak to her, would he? And then reveals that the bass player from the wedding is standing not too far away.**

**Matthew Kling is excited and encourages Ben 10 to go and talk to the girl under the yellow umbrella, but he says that he'll be in Chicago in twenty four hours so there would be no point. The show then flashes forward twenty four hours in time, Kevin 11 and Gwen Tennyson-Levin enter Argit's saying that they can feel Ben 10's absence. Ben 10, however, is sitting at the booth; he mentions that he didn't move to Chicago because he met a girl, which he reveals to be the bass player at the wedding. Ben 10 calls her and asks her out and then walks away from the booth whilst talking on the phone to her. Kevin 11 mentions that Ben 10 does this all the time, falls in love, but Gwen Tennyson-Levin says that it is different this time.**

**The show then flashes back to the train station and Ben 10 and Matthew Kling are still discussing whether or not he should go and talk to her. Matthew Kling tells him to go to her and then says it will be all because of him that they get married and have a big wedding; to which Ben 10 responds and says that big weddings are a "young man's game", and questions who would have a big wedding in their thirties. Flash forward to 2015 in the bar, Ben 10 finishes telling Marcus Leroy Jackson and Dawn Von Ra'ad about the hot air balloon he has planned as his big exit at the wedding (contradicting what he told Matthew Kling). He asks Marcus Leroy Jackson how he and Dawn Von Ra'ad are doing, which Marcus Leroy Jackson overcompensates his response saying that "it's great" with regards to her never being at home due to her job. Then Elena Validus rushes in to the bar, excitedly and tells Ben 10 that she doesn't think they can get married in September because she wants to fit into her dress, the implication being that she is pregnant.**

**The show flashes forward to May 2016, at Ben 10 and Elena Validus's house the gang are all together (seen for the first time by the audience) and it is revealed that Kevin 11 wound up back in as a Mechanic in which he does not like. The Mother asks Barney how he and Robin's trip to Argentina was, where they reveal that they got into an argument because Robin is traveling a lot and she does not have time for Barney, and Barney does not like it when she is gone. Robin then refers back to Barney's "Highway Theory" about relationships, and offers him an exit at the three year mark. After getting drunk and having sex repeatedly, they discuss the proposition of divorce and then reveal to the gang that they got divorced. Everyone is shocked, but Marshall asks if it's what they both really want, which they respond yes to. Lily says that they'll only be okay with it if it means that the gang still hangs out, but Barney counters this with the question of do they hang out anyway. But they all agree to be there for the big moments. Incidentally, that gathering is a big moment because Barney notices Lily's breasts and the fact that Marshall has been drinking Lily's champagne all night; she is pregnant with her third child.**

**The show then flashes forward to October of 2016 and Kevin 11 and Gwen Tennyson-Levin are finding their living arrangements too cramped. They both agree on moving to a bigger place, so they have a Halloween/Farewell, Apartment party. From the dialogue, it is the first time that the gang have seen Dawn Von Ra'ad in a while; she does not dress up in a costume and as she feels she is being ousted from the group, she leaves the party early. Gwen Tennyson-Levin sees her leaving and says that this is a big moment, the gang is all together, but Dawn Von Ra'ad says that "the gang" to her is: a married couple that she never sees, about to have their third child; her ex husband hitting on slutty police officers right in front of her; and the person she probably should have ended up with, talking to the beautiful mother of his child. This saddens Gwen Tennyson-Levin, who then asks whether it means that their friendship is over. Dawn Von Ra'ad says no, but it will be different which doesn't have to be a bad thing.**
