Disclaimer: I own nothing that has to do with the Spectacular Spider-Man. Nothing at all.
Story Set-Up: Takes place during Episode 7 of the Spectacular Spider-Man Season 2, Identity Crisis. When Gwen and Peter are about to leave the ESU Lab to meet Liz and Harry at the Silver Spoon.
Peter Parker was an uneasy fellow.
He made a mistake.
He was going out with Liz Allen.
He didn't know how it happened, but it happened. The dating Liz Allen part wasn't bad, it was who he wasn't dating that was the mistake.
His best friend, Gwen Stacey, laid it all out on the line. She kissed him and Peter realized that he loved her. In the time between Peter would tell Gwen everything, he and Liz got together. Now Gwen and Harry are together. How they got together no one knows. But that happened too.
All this stress wasn't healthy for Peter. Plus being Spider-Man doesn't help. Trying to take down baddies like the Rhino and The Sandman take a lot out of you. Plus with Venom still on the loose, Peter had to watch his back. Even with all of this going on, Peter was determined to make things right and tell Gwen how he feels.
Peter and Gwen just go done for the day at the ESU Lab. They planned on heading to the Silver Spoon to meet up with Liz and Harry. Peter knew he could explain everything when they were heading over there.\
"So Gwen, subway or bus?"
"How about neither. It's a nice day out, we can walk."
"If you want to."
Peter and Gwen started on their way to the Silver Spoon in silence. The silence was eating at Peter. He knew that if he was going to get any chance with Gwen, that this was his best opportunity.
The only problem was that Peter couldn't think of any thing to say. He was racking his brains until somebody interrupted his thoughts.
"So Pete, how are you and Liz doing?" Gwen asked.
"Oh… Um… You know."
"You seem to be really happy with her."
"To tell you the truth Gwen, it's not what I thought it would be. We're dating now but in my head I'm saying 'now what.' I don't know what to do."
"I'm sorry Pete. But you're a smart guy, I'm sure you know what you really want."
"Gwen, I know this is about 4 weeks over due, but the girl I really want to be with is…"
At that moment a swarm of reporters came rushing up to the two and started asking question after question.
"Peter Parker, are you Spider-Man?"
"Can you sling us a web Spidy?"
"Can you prove you're not Spider-Man?"
"Hey Spider-Man, that your girl?"
"What is this all about?" Peter thought. "Wait, Venom. He's back. He must have told the Bugle. But these reporters have no proof of me. I can just deny everything."
"Pete as Spider-Man?" Gwen thought. "Isn't that the news story of the century. I mean come on. He's only a junior in high school. What a bunch of fools."
"Hey girl, what's it like kissing a freak?"
"Get off me." Gwen yelled.
"Stay away from her." Peter said as he pushed the reporter back.
Peter grabbed Gwen's hand and took off running away from the mob of reporters. As he ran he heard some of the reporters make Spider-Man comments. Peter knew that they couldn't out run the mob, they had to hide.
Peter looked around and saw a student store across the park with a weird sculpture in the middle.
He and Gwen made a break for the student store. He got halfway through the park when he started to hear the mob rounding to corner. With no time left he pulled Gwen into the first hiding spot he could find.
The reporters came around the corner, looking all around.
"Where'd they go"
"Maybe they went into the student store?"
Peter and Gwen saw the mob rush past them and head into the student store, the same one they were about to hide in.
As Gwen hid she thought, "What's with this? Those reporters are determined. But really, come on. I can't stop laughing at the thought that they think Pete is Spider-Man." Gwen couldn't help but let out a little giggle.
"Shh…" Peter whispered while having one of the biggest smiles on his face. He turned to find himself face to face with Gwen. His smile faltered and his mouth was a gasp. He noticed that Gwen was equally surprised, with her mouth a gasp.
They started to lean in.
"Could this happen. Is it now gonna happen."
"No distractions. Not this time. I can do this."
Chapter One is done. This story is only going to have 2 chapters. You can expect the next chapter very soon considering it is already written, I just need to type it up. So thank you to everyone who read this story, I appreciate your time and I hope that you will review this. See you next time.
