It was Peter's first day back at school since before he left to fight off Thanos. Aunt May had let him take the last two weeks off to kind of get back into things and settle in. As soon as he got to school, Ned, Peter's best friend, gave him a pat on the back.

"Welcome back bro." Peter smiled. "So tell me all about it. I still can't believe you were on another planet. That's sick."

"Yeah. Did I tell you I met Thor?" Ned's face dropped.

"No way!"

The morning classes had gone by slowly. Peter's mind kept drifting. His thoughts kept going back to that moment when he disintegrated into thin air, laying in Tony's arms. Then his mind would shift to his ride back to Earth. He had woken up on a spaceship, which belong to Star-Lord the other Peter, oblivious to what had happened. It was like in a instant he was dead and alive again. Tony and the few other Avengers that hadn't perished during the war were able to meddle with time to restore the universe to its original state. Most people didn't know. To them, it was like the whole thing never happened. Peter knew though and thinking about it gave him a headache.

At lunch, Peter sad with Ned, MJ and a few others. MJ had her face in a book, while Ned and Peter caught up over the school's tater tots.

"Soo, are you going to ask Gwen out?" Ned prompted in a whisper. Gwen was new to the school this year. She moved to the city from Washington D.C. She and Peter had become good friends in the past few months.

"Ned, we've talked about this."

"But you said that you liked her before you left on the bus. You left me on a cliffhanger, man!" Ned wasn't lying. Peter did kind of have a crush on Gwen. Not only was she drop dead gorgeous, but she was so genuine and nice too

"Yeah, I mean, I do like her, but I just don't know if it's the right time." MJ looked up from her book and glanced at the two boys. Clearly unenthused, MJ began to read again.

"I bet you don't have the guts to ask her out," Ned antagonized.

"Forget who you're talking to Ned?" Ned rolled his eyes at Peter.

"Still don't believe you."

"You know what? I'm going to go ask her on a date right now." Peter stood up and walked over to the table Gwen was sitting at. He had his hands tucked into his front jean pockets had his shoulders kind of slummed. His heart was racing. It was funny how easy it was to stand up to dangerous villains, but the minute Peter had to talk to a girl, he became so nervous. "Hey Gwen." Gwen turned her head. Her bright blue eyes and dirty-blonde hair were glowing through the sunlight coming through the window.

"Oh hey Peter. It's so nice to have you back. Are you feeling better?" Gwen commented. Peter's alibi for why he had been out was that he had come down with a bad case of Pneumonia.

"Yeah, it's good to be back. Anyways, I was wondering if you maybe, um, wanted to hang out this weekend? Maybe we could see a movie, or get dinner or I don't know its-

"I would love to," Gwen interrupted. Peter was so relieved.

"How about dinner on Saturday at seven?"

"Sounds good." Gwen smiled. "Oh, where should we go?"

"I'll surprise you."
