I don't own Spider-Man

FGC

Peter walked up the steps of the bus, his head craning to see if there was a seat for him on the packed bus. Luckily there was and Peter slid his change into the machine, taking his transfer pass from the bus driver. Usually he would have went home from his job in costume, it was a lot quicker, but he had to pull an all-nighter marking papers and he forgot to make the fluid that became the nylon-esque webbing he relied on for travel. Maybe he should give his students less homework?

Nah.

He made his way over to an empty seat, making sure not to step on the many bags, belongings, and junk that littered the floor of the bus. He sat down and placed his suitcase on his lap. He unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and stared at the suitcase for a second. As a teacher Peter didn't need such an old-fashioned way to sort files, he was given a laptop from the school when he became a teacher, but he used it anyway. After all it was a gift from Mary Jane when he became a teacher for their old high school. He never used it back then, but ever since his deal with Mephisto and Dr. Strange… he wondered if he should have let Mary Jane keep her memories of him but at least it was safer this way.

He would never mix his superhero life with his civilian life again.

"Hey, is it okay if I sit here?"

"Wha?" Peter looked up to see the beautiful face of Mary Jane Watson peering down at him, waiting for an answer. "Uh, sure." Peter slid over to make room for MJ. She gave him a grateful smile and sat down. Her eyes lingered on his face for a few moments, her cheeks reddening slightly.

"I know this may sound weird, but do I know you?" She cocked her head to the side inquisitively. Peter just stared at her incredulously for a second before he answered. Just a few weeks ago they were happily married, and know she was asking who he was? Such is the luck of Peter Parker.

"I'm Peter Parker, we went to school together." He gave his hand for her to shake. She gasped in recognition and shook his hand.

"Wow! It's been so long Peter. I'm-"

"Mary Jane Watson, currently a star for the Broadway hit 'Love and Wine' right?"

MJ quirked and eyebrow, "Don't tell me you're stalking me." That made Peter laughed.

"No, I saw your name on a billboard for an advertisement for your show. Besides, how could I forget the face and name of the prettiest girl from our school?" MJ's face turned a pleasant shade of tomato red.

"Oh, I was never that pretty besides, you're looking pretty good yourself. I see you've gotten rid of your glasses." She glanced over his arm, cuff of his shirt was rolled up over his bicep, it looked like Peter worked out, a lot. Who would have though the nerdy boy would grow to become such a fine looking man? Well she always wanted to date him back in high school but she had missed her chance. She thinks.

Or wait, she knows she didn't date him. She would have remembered, right?

"Well, you're definitely the prettiest woman I know, since today." Peter said breaking her out of her small day dream. She blushed some more.

"Were you always such a flirt?" MJ never remember Peter being so forward with women, he was always on the shy side.

Peter just smiled, "I'm just telling you the truth." Mary Jane smiled to herself, Peter had always been such a sweet guy, he always brought her flowers and … wait. Peter never got her flowers, they didn't know each other well enough for pleasantries like that.

Then why does she feel like he did get her presents. She was getting a head ache.

"So, Peter, what are you up to these days?" Mary Jane asked rubbing her temples slightly.

"Are you okay?" He asked, concern drenching his voice. MJ looked up startled.

"Uh, yeah, I'm okay. I had a sort of head ache but I'm fine." Peter stared at her for a moment and then sighed.

"If you say so. Anyways, I'm a teacher now, for our old high school. I teach science, chemistry and biology mostly, and math, though the physical education teacher sometimes makes me substitute for her when she's 'sick.' I don't know where she got the idea that I can teach phys-ed. I just make them run the track until class is over."

"I could see where she got the idea…" MJ whispered to herself, Peter had moved his suitcase onto the floor of the bus, and boy did his shirt look tight. She could see the outline of his abs through the shirt. Absentmindedly she wondered if any of the girls in his class had a crush on him, if he was her teacher, she might have.

"Hmm, what was that MJ?"

"Ah, I was just going to say I act now, but you know that… stalker." She said with a grin, Peter smiled back. "But I'm thinking of going into modeling soon."

"You'd be great at that." Peter replied honestly. Mary Jane smiled.

"Thank you Peter." She looked at the over head display and hit the stop button. "It's been great talking to you Peter, but this is my stop. Maybe I'll see you?"

"Maybe." Peter answered uncomfortably. Didn't he erase her memory so that she wouldn't have to deal with him?

"Later." Mary Jane got up before the bus stopped. The bus lurched to a stop and she gave Peter a wave before she left. Peter sighed as he relaxed on his seat. Man, he really missed MJ, this meeting just made it more obvious. But he prom- He noticed that MJ had left her purse on the bus. Ah jeez.

"Wait, wait!" Peter rapidly slammed the stop button and the bus lurched to a stop a second after it started. Peter gripped his suitcase in one hand and MJ's purse in the other as he stumbled out of the bus, giving the irritated bus driver a sorry.

"Mary Jane, MJ, wait!" Peter ran after the red-head.

She turned around a small smirk on her face. "Oh come to see me so soon?"

It came to Peter's attention that maybe Mary Jane had not forgotten her purse. But he could game. "I brought you a souvenir." Peter handed her the purse.

"Thanks, it's cute. You've got taste." MJ smirk got a little wider. "So if that's a present, what's the new?"

"You're not busy, right?" Mary Jane tapped her chin, pretending to see if she had anything to do.

"Well, I'm a really busy person, but maybe I can fit you in my schedule. Depends on what you're going to ask." Peter wasn't afraid though, he had tamed the beauty once, he could do again.

After all it was just another day.

"I was just wondering if you wanted to go out for coffee. If you can fit that in your hectic schedule?"

Mary Jane beamed.

"I'd love to, Tiger."

Hmm, I'm not very happy with this one, but it's alright. In case you don't know what's going on the story happens after One More Day, but it's a bit different. In this world Peter asked Dr. Strange to erase Peter's identity from everyone's minds, including MJ. As always review, suggestions are welcome.
