DISCLAIMER: I don't own Marvel comics, or Spiderman. Darn it.

A/N: Even though this is labeled under Comics, this excerpt is based on the MOVIE. So, it would be OC for the comic Spidey, but not for Toby Maguire's. Thanks :)

I saw her. I had been away for so long, making mistakes, and now she was right here. It almost felt too easy. Shouldn't I have to defeat another villain? Defend my integrity at least? She was singing about love, or the lack of I should say. She had to hate me. I hurt her. I hurt MJ. She finally saw me. Her eyes met mine and I smiled. She walked over to me, slowly and a bit unsurely. Once I knew it was ok, I put my arms around her and we started dancing. How I missed being like this with her. I remembered the last time we were really close. We had just been on a date and I made a web. We sat there and talked about life and kissed. We kissed quite a bit. I wanted to marry her. I still did.

"Can we go outside?" She whispered in my ear. I nodded my head yes, intertwined my fingers with hers, and we walked outside.

"I'm guessing you want me to explain myself, don't you." I never really had a chance to explain everything that happened. I could blame some of it on Venom, but kissing Gwen Stacey, that was a big mistake.

"That would be nice." She sighed, looking into my eyes. In them reflected hurt and confusion.

"Well, me being a total jerk, that was Venom. I mean…some of it was. I was weak and I allowed it to take over me. Just…the power…it felt so good. And I was so angry. I changed. I'm so sorry I hurt you, MJ, I'm so sorry. I love you. I meant what I said about wanting to marry you. I still do." I could feel the ring in my pocket. I felt my palms sweating.

"I'm still trying to understand, but I forgive you. I love you Peter, and I really missed you." A tear rolled down her cheek and she wrapped her arms around my neck. I slipped my hand in my pocket, grabbing the ring. I slid down to my knee, "Peter!" she gasped.

"So, Mary Jane Watson. I love you with all my heart, and I want to marry you. I always have. I remember the first time I saw you. You were dating that tool. I knew you were better than that. And then I finally got the courage to talk to you on that fieldtrip. I took your picture. It's still on my desk. That's the day I was bitten by that spider. As much as I regret putting Spiderman before you, it did allow me to actually talk to you. I got to save you, and when you kissed me, it was like nothing else in the world mattered. You were with me, and I was complete. Of course, then you went off with Harry. I still feel bad for taking you from him, but I know this is what he would have wanted, now. He loved you, and he would want you to be happy. So, no matter what you say, I just want you to be happy. So, Mary Jane Watson, will you marry me?" She was crying and grinning like a small child.

"'Yes, Peter, yes!" She grabbed me and put her lips on mine.

"I love you MJ."

"I love you too. So, do you still have any of those dance moves?" She giggled. I had forgotten the horrendous dancing I did under Venom's influence.

"Oh, you want to dig on this?" I started dancing. She laughed as I grabbed her hands, spinning her in a circle. As we stopped she kissed me again.

"So, I get to marry Spiderman. Aren't I lucky?" She joked.

"I think I'm luckier." I slid the ring on her finger. Police sirens sounded in the background.
"I'm still not used to this. Go get 'em tiger." She patted me on the back.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm sure. Duty calls. They don't call you the friendly neighborhood Spiderman for nothing."

"True, true. I'll be back." She kissed me on the cheek.

"I know." And with that, I swung into the night.

I hoped you enjoyed! R&R!
