A/N – UGHHHHHH! I am extremely upset with this chapter, why because I am stupid and do not save my work once I start it because, well because I am stupid, and so I got like four thousand words down and then I went to eat dinner, my cousin borrowed my computer and when finished TURNED IT OFF, like pressed the off button. My four thousand words didn't stand a chance. :'( So now here I am with my second attempt at this chapter.

Realizing I am rambling. Sorry, got upset there but really it went from like 4,139 words to 50 because she turned it off. Ughhhhhh it is my own fault and I will get over it so I will stop ranting to you my reader and get on with the story J This has more Peter in it because, come on who doesn't love a little Peter Parker? And we are getting out movie time zone so whoop-whoop.

Enjoy

And please read, review, and remember to look for the next chapter, the three R's people.

Lots 'o Love

Erin Barton sat perched on the top of the playground watching all of the kids below. Being only a kindergartener her recess was almost over and the first graders had arrived moments ago. She was looking for Peter, she always did, the entire school year. She had missed too much time with everything that happened last year and was now a year behind him in schooling now. If they timed it right, they had ten minutes from when he got outside until she had to go in. They would always camp out in-between the slide platform and the ground; there was a plat form under no one ever paid any mind to.

However Peter hadn't shown up, and had been four minutes so Erin went to look for the bushy brown hair and black rimmed glasses of her best friend. Hoping he didn't get detention. He only had once, but that was the worse school day yet. She scanned the school yard one last time and caught glyimce of Flash Thomson torching some kid. She squinted to get a better look only to realize the kid wasn't just anyone, it was Peter.

The bigger boys from his class where tossing him around a circle then she saw Flash push him to the ground. She knew what came next, Peter had told her how Flash and his friends where last year and when she was on 'vacation', the only reason this year was different is he got away early enough. She looked around for a teacher, but like every time something was wrong she could not find one. She looked back at the boys to see Flash throwing back his head in laughter. Deciding enough was enough she jumped off the playground and walked over to where Flash and the other boys where, closer to the field than the playground as to make sure they weren't caught. Wanting to scare the boys she rolled up her long sleeved pink shirt to her elbows as she charged the boys. Her light blue eyes narrowed at Flash.

"Leave Peter Alone," She called pushing through the boys to see Peter lying on the ground and Flash in the middle of kicking him. "Oh look boys it is Ewey Erin," Flash said and all the first grader boys laughed a few other kids stopped playing and joined in the circle that had now formed around Peter, Flash, and Erin.

"Stop Flash," Erin growled.

"Stop doing what, this," he said as he kicked Peter in the leg making the boy cringe. Erin took two long strides and placed her hands on Flash's chest pushing with all her might and sending the larger boy crashing to the ground.

"I said stop," She said turning to help Peter up and hand him his glasses. Yet as she was standing up from picking up said glasses she felt to hands push her face first into the dirt. She tried to grab on to Peter to steady herself but only resulted and taking her friend down as well.

"Oh look its Ewey Erin, and Potty Pants Parker!" Flash giggled.

"He is not a potty pants and you know it. You bully." Erin spat jumping back to her feet and pushing Flash once again.

"I know nothing," He said throwing his hands up in defeat.

"Well that explains your grades." Erin murmured getting a few chuckles out of the crowd of kids that surrounded them as Peter he got to his feet.

"What did you say!" Flash said taking a step toward Erin small fist rose like all bad boy first graders do.

"E.J, it's not worth it, come on," Peter said Erin turned to her friend and moved to walk out of the circle. Flash moved to grip Erin's hair yanking it quite hard sending the girl on to her bum; tears sprung into her eyes on contact.

"Oh look ewey Erin is crying, she's a cry baby, a cry baby Barton, Cry Baby Barton, Cry Baby Barton," he began to chant and the other kids joined in as well.

"I am not a cry baby!" Erin said standing up and facing the boy that towered over her.

"Oh yeah then why are you crying." He ridiculed with a cocky smile on his face as he pranced around the circle like he won a prize.

"I am not crying," Erin protested crossing her arms despite the silent tears that ran down her face. He then wiped his dirty fingers across her cheek in a taunting manner. Erin quickly went to move the hand as a reflex. Flash had other ideas grabbing Erin's wrist and twisting it

Erin yelped in pain more tears coming as the kids continued to chant Cry Baby Barton. He laughed and went to tap her cheek when she seized his wrist with her good hand and twisted it behind his back lightly kicking the back of his knee cap so he fell to his knees.

"Not so tough now are you Eugene." She asked walking away and joining Peter who at this point had taken to standing in the group of kids praying his friend didn't get herself killed.

"Hey Barton," Flash said and Erin turned before feeling a fist collide with the right side of her jaw, a previously loose baby tooth flying out of her mouth blood spurting out as well more tears fell from her eyes. Peter stopped watching from the side lines.

"Stop It," He said pushing Flash back into the other kids.

"I will get you," Flash said getting to his feet and walking away tears in his own eyes. At that all the other kids ran away as well. Going back to whatever it was they were doing before the fight had broken out between the two. Peter however bent down to help Erin sit up.

"E.J, are you okay." He asked as she continued to cry, there had been very few times in recent years that Peter Parker had seen Erin Barton cry, and it usually was not because of physical pain. He knew fair well that Erin had high tolerance for pain so something was wrong.

"No, I wanna go home!" the girl cried.

"It will be okay, we will find a teacher and they will call Ms. Tasha and you can go home. It will be okay, I promise" Peter explained as he helped Erin on to her feet holding her to his side, though careful not to get any blood on him as they walked over to the closest teacher, which happened to be Ms. Harrison, one of the sweetest teachers in the school. She happened to be Peter's teacher, though she was not particularly found of the black sheep of her class.

"Ms. Harrison, Ms. Harrison, E.J got hurt Ms. Harrison," He called and the woman turned to see the two children and ran to them. She knelt down in front of Erin and moved Peter to the side.

"My dear, are you alright, what happened," Ms. Harrison asked Erin didn't answer she just continued to cry.

"Eugene twisted her wrist and then punched her." Peter explained.

"Flash, Peter, and I doubt he did all of that,"

"But he did," Peter said.

"I will talk to him alright, but for right now why don't you take her to the nurse for me." Ms. Harrison said standing up.

"I want Mommy," Erin sobbed and Peter just brought his friend into a hug.

"I know we are going to call her, she will be here soon." He said as he led her to the nurses office. Her head notched into his shoulder. The nurses office was on the other side of the school building so they walked quickly. Once they got there he knocked on the door before bringing to call to get her attention.

"Nurse Aggie, Nurse Aggie, Nurse Aggie!" He chanted until the white door opened showing an elderly woman wearing a pair of blue teddy bear scrubs. She looked down at the two and ushered them into her office.

She had white hair that was cut short and permed, she also had light brown almost caramel colored eyes under her large round brown rimmed glasses that held a chain that went around her neck at all times. On a few occasions you could see said glasses being sported as a necklace.

"My dears what has happened to you? Bring her here Peter, Bring her here. Sit right here darling, let me get some gloves. What is your name darling?" The woman asked.

"E.J Barton," Peter said as he did as asked helping Erin onto the nurse bed, He attempted to move away from Erin but the small girl had wrapped her hand around his fore arm and wasn't letting go any time soon. A few seconds later Nurse Aggie came back with a cotton ball and two ice packs wrapped in paper towels.

"My dear, here bite on this it will keep you from swallowing your own blood, did you lose your first tooth." She asked handing the small five year old the cotton ball and despite the fact she was still crying Erin nodded.

"Well aren't you lucky, didn't happen to keep your hand on it did you." Nurse Aggie said as she placed Erin's left hand on one ice pack and guided her right to hold the other. After ripping her grip from Peter of course. Erin shook her head no.

"Oh, well live and learn I guess. Now how did you manage to get yourself in such a tiffy little missy?" She asked moving to write down what was wrong with the child on one of those handy three paper things that school nurses use.

"She got in a fight with Eugene, he punched her, and hurt her wrist." Peter explained. Despite the love that was in her eyes Nurse Aggie narrowed her gaze on Peter.

"Let E.J explain please Peter." The nurse said.

"But she won't she hasn't since it happened, all she's done is cry and ask for Ms. Tasha," Peter wined.

"Who is Ms. Tasha," The nurse asked.

"E.J's Mommy," Peter said simply, he knew Ms. Tasha wasn't really Erin's mom and that Mr. Clint wasn't really Erin's dad but they raised her like Aunt May and Uncle Ben raised him. And they weren't related to her in any other way. He also had heard Erin call Ms. Tasha Mommy when she woke up from a nightmare.

"Very well, it is protocol to send children home anyways. I shall have the front desk make the call. Oh and Peter, you may want to change your shirt, go over to the lost and found after leaving here please. Can you also bring this to Erin's teacher and get someone to bright stuff while you are there." The nurse asked. Peter just nodded.

"Yes Nurse Aggie, feel better E.J" He said going to the door yet before he opened it Eugene came in crying as well.

"Nurse Aggie she broke'edted my wrist, its broke'edted and it will never heal again, they will have to cut it off and its her fault." He said pointing to Erin with the wrist that was supposed to be broken, cradling the other to his chest. Big fake crocodile tears in his eyes.

"You broke'edted her wrist first," Peter said.

"She also bit me, see." He said holding up his other arm showing a bite mark Peter knew the Eugene had probably put there himself.

"Nuh uh, you're a liar liar pants on fire." Peter yelled.

"Mr. Parker, that's quite enough. Now run along with you." Nurse Aggie said.
