I'm kind of excited for this episode.

I think the concept is really neat...

Oh, in this episode, I try to use similies and metaphors effectively.

If you review, please tell me how that went!

OK, let's get to it!

…

Previously, on Spectacular Spider-Man...

Through certain circumstances, David Chilly has learned Peter's secret, and has become the Prowler.

Fed up with her old friend, Emma Frost, Sophia Sanduvoll, knowing David and Peter's secret, has joined their circle of friends, as Chat.

Peter is becoming more and more cut off from his friends Harry and Gwen.

Peter broke up with Liz...and it wasn't pretty!
Flint Marko, the Sandman, was last seen saving people from a sinking ocean liner.

…

"WHERE'S MY COFFEE?" J. Jonah Jameson was at it again.

"Coming, Mr. Jameson..." Betty Brant rushed to wherever his coffee might've gone too.

Peter Parker sat right before the jolly giant, squirming in his chair nervously.

"WHAT ARE THESE?" Jameson picked up a file.

"They're pictures of-"

"PICTURES OF SPIDER-MAN! SPIDER-MAN! The menace!" J. J. quieted down just a bit for his rant. "That fiend murders a man- MURDERS...A...MAN! And he STILL crawls among us! I tell you, they should put that criminal in jail with the rest of 'em!

"In m-...Er, In his defense, Mr. Jameson, the insane man,m Norman Osborn, was trying to kill him with a batch of pumpkin bombs, and then Norman fell into said batch of bombs, so it really was Norman Osborn's...fault..." Peter chuckled.

"I DON' T CARE WHO'S FAULT IT IS! If Spider-Man was such a hero, he'd have saved the man, but NO! Ahh..." Jameson grunted. "I'll give you 150 for 'em."

"What? No! Those pics are worth at least 300!" Peter got up from his chair in defense.

"I'll give you 215, and you're gonna be grateful for it. NOW GET OUT OF MY OFFICE!"

…

In the jail yard, it was free time. All of the outlaws were playing around, which usually meant a fight.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" A huge man was simply laying on a much smaller man, and when "Uncle!" was cried, the huge, slow giant rose.

"Next time, You's betta think twice before pickin' on the Rhino!" the Rhino saw the two guards guarding the gate run to break up the commotion. "Just like I's tought!" And with that, the Rhino charged through the two of them, and broke through the stone walls.

Triumphantly, he stood in the middle of the wreckage, and he grunted, "Freedom and Riches, here I come!"

…

...Cue the Spectacular Spider-Man theme song!

…

Peter walked out of the Daily Bugle. Sure, he was grateful for the money, it would buy groceries this week, but he would've liked 300...He looked up and saw his friends, David and Sophia, and he smiled. His friends always proved the sunshine to his stormy thoughts of sorrow.

"Hey guys. Have you been waiting for me?" Peter walked up to them, putting the money into his pocket.

"Yeah, your aunt told us where you'd be," Sophia reported, bubbling with energy.

"We were going to meet you up there, but security through us out!" David joked.

"Yeah, well you probably wouldn't wanna be in there anyway..." Peter sighed.

David looked at his friend, concerned, "Hey, what's up?"

"Ah, nothing. Just looks like I won't get any spending money this week-again," Peter patted his pocket, "Not that that's bad or anything, I'm used to it. It's just we're-"

"Always so low on money?" David piped in. "I know what you mean, dude. It's okay."

Sophia added, "That used to be the way it was for me all the time too,"

"Yeah, used to," Peter pointed out.

BEEP BEEP!

Sophia and David jumped at the noise, but Peter saw what it was: The fanciest, shiniest, reddest car you'd see in five years stopped in front of them.

"Yo, Peter!" The window rolled down, and slowly revealed Harry and Gwen!
"'Sup guys!" Peter leaned down, and looked into the window. "Nice car!"

"Hey, we're going to the city park. We're meeting up with Mary Jane and Gloria. Want to come?" Harry looked, and saw David and Sophia. "Or do you have other plans?" Harry said coldly. He hadn't forgotten his fight with Peter.

Peter looked at his friends. He wanted to visit with Harry and Gwen, but David and Sophia had waited for him!

David and Sophia looked at Peter, expectantly. They were sure he'd choose them, but there was still a twinge of doubt on both faces...

Peter turned back to Harry, "Can they come too?"

Harry opened his mouth, but the Gwen said, "Sure. Just get in," Her voice was indifferent. So was her face.

Peter smiled, and got in the car with his David and Sophia, but inside, he was thinking, Harry, I think I can deal with, but I really don't like Gwen being mad at me. I wonder if she still cares about me?"

…

"Debbie, you want more ice cream?" Mark Flynn was buying himself more ice cream, but then offered it to his girl-friend.

"Um...I really shouldn't..." Debra Whitman sat on a city bench, beside her boy-friend.

"Oh, come on Tutes! It won't amount to much!" Mark pushed it closer and closer to her face.

"Oh...fine then!" She laughed. Chuckling, she said, "Thank you."

Mark Flynn smiled. "No problem."

But their peace was soon to be interrupted, just as a boulder being pushed down a hill.

"Mark Flynn?" Mark and Debra both jumped when they heard a rampage through the city, and Debra screamed when they saw what it was: The Rhino!

"Mark Flynn? Dat's da best you's could do? Come on, Man! You're name's Flint Marko, don't you's forget it!"

Flint Marko shielded Debra from possible harm, but when he saw it was the Rhino, and when the Rhino accused his true identity, his heart sank like a small rock in the middle of a vast ocean.

"Mark? Mark what' s he talking about?" Debra asked, questioning if Mark was really her boy-friend's name.

"His name's...not...MARK!" Rhino stopped his foot on the ground. "It's FLINT MARKO! Also known...as the sand man!" And with that, Rhino punched Mark. Mark's stomach twisted around the Rhino's fist, revealing his powers and true identity.

"EEEEEEEK!" Debra stood, paralyzed.

Defeated, Sandman looked down at the ground. Quietly, he murmured, "Debbie. Run."

She hesitantly looked at her boy-friend, and then the Rhino. Deciding that both fear and her boy-friend were right, she took off. So did everyone else on the street.

The two super-powers were alone.

"Sandman, what are you doing?" Rhino now looked a little distressed. "I was wondering why I didn't hear you in the paper, or the TV. I mean, come on! You fell for a girl?"

Sandman looked up. He looked Rhino right in the eye. "I tried to lead a normal life."

"A normal life? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Rhino, hysterical, took a few steps back, and pointed at his confused friend. "You? Lead a normal life? Look at yourself!" Rhino violently poked Sandman, revealing his sand once again. "How can you live a normal life, when you'll always be like this?"

Sandman became quiet again. "...I can try..."

"No, you's can't! Do you think that girl will love you's now dat she knows you's a freak? Huh?"

"I don't...I don't..."

"Exactly! You don't! You're wrong. Now come on! I found you for a reason, let's go rob something!" Rhino, positive that he won, began to walk away.

"Sigh..." All of Sandman's hopes and dreams...had been crushed. Crushed like the hope and love he had for his girl-friend.

He followed his old companion.
