I've been seeing danger looming for Ben/Jullie for a while now. That fact that Jullie had more screen time in Duped than she had in the entire last season of Alien Force is a bit of an issue in itself. Combine that with Ben skipping time he could spend with Jullie to go watch bad horror movies, and other times of insensativity were racking up the straws.
The fact that Ben was shocked to be kissed on the cheek by Jullie after dating her for what, close to a year? A kiss shouldn't shock him. It showed that Ben's thinking of her wasn't where it should be. After that much time they should be at least be comfortable playing touncil hockey.
I don't think I'm the only one seeing a problem. Gwen knows Ben's relationship is in trouble with Jullie, that, in her mind, Ben is seriously dropping the ball. Not saying it's all Ben's fault, Jullie has her own issues, but Gwen isn't seeing that side of it. She knows the tournament is important to Jullie. Ben has had his moments to shine, and his girlfriend was there to see him save the universe. Now it was Ben's turn to see the greatest achievement Jullie could accomplish, and he was going to miss it.
Gwen's anger wasn't about him missing the tennis tournament, it's about Ben's relationship with Jullie becoming more strained.
As for Jullie, it's the timing. Of course she's going to be frustrated at him showing up late and blowing her concentration. She's tense and filled with adrenilin as she's competing in the middle of a tournament. She was perfectly willing to forgive afterwards when she had time to cool off and relax. Then to learn that part of him split to go watch a movie instead of watch her important moment, that after promising to be there for him, he _intentionally_ failed to be there for her, I don't see anyone forgiving that.
I fear that Ben will be gaining a throw away girlfriend. Jullie is a girl to marry, but chances are the next one would be one to have sex with. A girl more interested in Ben's fame than in Ben. Course, if such a girl does come forth, she's likely to scare the crap out of Ben, wanting his 'alien child.'
