Time was ticking down in Midtown. Everyone waited patiently for the final second to come. Soon that time came as the bell rang. As soon as it did, all of the students in Midtown cheered and ran out as fast as they could for only one reason.

"Summer!" Summer vacation has finally arrived for Midtown High and everyone is excited because of it.

"Another summer is finally here and we'll be done with high school soon." Harris said as he and everyone were clearing out.

"You said it. Time surely does fly, doesn't it?" Paul said. As the two of them were walking, Monica and Jessica were ahead of the boys and hiding.

"Are you ready for this, Jessica?" Monica asked, but Jessica seemed nervous.

"I don't know if I can do this." Jessica said.

"It'll be fine." Monica said. "Harris has got to be the easiest guy there is and we both win if we do this. Besides, if we don't do this, who knows if we'll get another chance. This could be our chance for summer romance. Get ready, here they come." The girls braced themselves and came out in front of the guys as if it was natural. "Paul! Harris! Are you two excited for vacation?"

"Sure are. You two got any plans?" Harris asked.

"Um…well…." Jessica was actually trying to work the nerve to ask Harris out, but it was harder than she thought.

"Actually, Jessica and I were going to celebrate with a great dinner tonight." Monica said. "Harris, would you like to join Jessica?"

"Huh?" Harris said as he was confused. "Wait. Do you mean like….a date?" His face was turning red from thinking that.

"Maybe." Monica said. When she turned to Paul, her face was starting to turn red. "Paul, would you like to come too?"

"I guess." Paul, but he sounded so casual about it. "I don't really have anything better going on."

"Great." Monica said and grabbed Jessica's arm to drag her away. "We'll see you guys at six. We'll text you the restaurant." Both of them waved off and Harris could not believe that actually happened.

"I can't believe it. We're actually going on a double date with Monica and Jessica." Harris said.

"If you say so." Paul said and kept walking acting like he didn't really care all that much.

…...

Fang

While this time was enjoyed by most, it wasn't going so well with some people like Fang. Fang looked down on the city as he stood at the top of a building. He had another article about Spider-Man and his friends and it annoyed him to no end. He tore the article apart as he growled and snarled.

"Unbelievable." Fang said. "They keep talking about Spider-Man saying he's unreal or amazing whether he's a vigilante or a hero. There is no one who is superior to me or my family. I think it's time that someone take him down a few notches and teach him his place."

…..

Paul

Paul was swinging through the city on his annual patrol. Saw no sign of trouble and that was good. Harris and the girls might not forgive him if he bails on them.

"So your first day of vacation and you got a double date, do you?" Peter said.

"I'm not seeing it as a date. The girls just want to hang out." Paul said.

"Paul, you and your best friend will be going to dinner with girls. How is that not a date?" Peter said.

"Fine. Call it whatever, but I'm not going to think of it as a date." Paul said. Paul would have talked about it more, but his spider sense was alerting him of trouble. "Uh oh. What is my spider sense alerting me about?" He heard a roar and saw Fang jump up to him and cut his web. Paul was sent flying through the air. He hit a ledge, but he was able to grab on and kept him from falling.

"I finally found you." Fang said as he got over Paul and stood on the roof.

"Fang? What do you want?" Paul questioned.

"Nothing much. Just to bring you down for good!" Fang said. He swiped at Paul, but Paul let go and fell before Fang could reach him. Paul shot a couple webs and was able to catapult himself straight up and drove his knee under Fang's chin. Fang grabbed a hold of Paul and tossed him against the roof, but Paul was able to get back on his feet.

"Don't you bad guys have anything better to do with your time than try and destroy me?" Paul said.

"Perhaps, but this actually more fun." Fang said and charged right at Paul. He tried slashing at him, but Paul was careful and avoided each of his attacks. Fang twirled himself and used his tail to trip Paul. "I have you now." Fang swung his claw down. Paul tried to push it aside, but he got cut against his arm and part of his costume was torn off. Paul raised his feet and kicked Fang in the gut and knocked him back.

"Aw!" Paul moaned as he felt his arm stinging from all that pain. "Dude, do you know how expensive it would be to have someone sew this back together perfectly." Fang was going to attack him again, but Paul shot some webbing and it got right in Fang's eyes.

"Can't see." Fang said as he tried to get it off. Paul used this opportunity and tackled Fang back and near the edge. He gave Fang a powerful kick and it knocked him off the roof and down into a dumpster.

"Wish I could stay, but I have plans tonight." Paul said and started swinging away. Fang growled as he saw him swing away and would like nothing more than to destroy him.

Fang

Fang might have mutated himself, but he still had access to his family's money. That means he's allowed inside his family's mansion. However, the life of a wealthy boy in a wealthy family isn't easy for you hardly get to see your own parents. At the moment, Fang was over the phone with his father.

"Father, I'm trying my best to rise up there." Fang said.

"I'm disappointed in you, son." His father said. "Your mother and I have high expectations for you. You're a Coinsith. We are not second best to anyone. I've accepted your powers because I thought no one could compete with it, but this Spider-Man continues getting the better of you. On top of that, you're disgracing our family name with this mutation in the first place."

"I'm doing what I can, but that spider keeps finding a way to get the better of me." Fang said.

"Then there's nothing more to say." His father said and ended it. Fang knew his father was very disappointed in him and he puts all the blame on Spider-Man for this. Fang roared and tossed the phone against the wall for all the misery he's going through because of this.

"Spider-Man! If you didn't exist, I wouldn't have mutated myself and I wouldn't need to constantly try to prove myself." Fang said. "Luckily, you can't hide from me thanks to these powers." He held a piece of Spider-Man's clothing that he tore off and sniffed it. With his heightened animal-like abilities, he'll be able to track him by scent.

Paul and Harris

The boys were waiting for the girls to show up for their dinner. They were actually eating at the diner that Jessica worked at. Harris seemed pretty nervous about the whole thing.

"Will you calm down? What are you freaking out about?" Paul asked.

"You know how I was at school. I've never really been on a date with a girl." Harris said.

"We've hanged with Monica and Jessica before." Paul said.

"Yeah, but there was usually someone else close by." Harris said.

"Just do what I'm doing. Stop thinking it's a date." Paul said. "What's the worst that could happen? Now look natural because here they come." Harris tried to calm down as Monica and Jessica made it.

"Hey. I hope we didn't keep you waiting long." Monica said as Jessica seemed just as nervous as Harris. "Is it okay that we eat here? Since Jessica works here, she actually has a discount."

"Works for me. Let's go in." Paul said as he and Harris went on ahead.

"I don't know if I can do this, Monica." Jessica said.

"It will be fine. I'll be right with you." Monica said. "All you have to do is tell Harris you like him when you get the chance. I would do that with you for Paul, but he already has an idea on how I feel."

"You're a good friend." Jessica said as the two of them followed inside. The two of them settled on a table with Monica and Paul on one side and Harris and Jessica on the other trying to find something to eat. Neither Harris nor Jessica knew what to say to the other now.

"Look at them." Paul whispered to Monica. "They both look like they're about to go in their pants on a performance stage."

"I think they just need something to break the ice." Monica said. "School will be over for us before we know it." She said to all of them. "Any of you know what you want to be in your lives."

"Yeah." Harris said. "I'm actually going to try and become a successful business lawyer. I want to be able to help business and get them on the right path."

"Too bad you couldn't do that for Silvio Industries." Jessica said. "My father enjoyed working there until he found out the owner is some sort of crime ruler."

"You never know. Maybe someone will get it back on the right path and he'll get his old job back." Harris said. "What about you, Jessica? What are you planning?"

"I was actually thinking of becoming a teacher. Help young people make sure they stay on the right path." Jessica said.

"That's pretty cool and a classic choice. Can't go wrong with classics." Harris said.

"I know Monica wants to be something on television like an actor or a reporter, but what about you, Paul?" Jessica said.

"Me?" Paul said. He hasn't really put much thought into it with his life as Spider-Man and his normal life.

"Haven't figure it out yet?" Monica said. "That's okay. A lot of people are like that." It soon became more natural as they ordered their food and kept talking. As they were talking, Monica spotted something in the corner and it was an old jukebox. "What's that machine?" She got up to look at it and Paul followed her.

"I think that's called a jukebox. I didn't think they're were any still around." Paul said. "You put a coin in and find the music to play."

"This thing must be old. Look at all these songs." Monica said as she looked through it.

"My boss put that in for and old-time-look." Jessica said as she and Harris hanged back.

"Maybe there's a song they can dance to." Harris said. "I really like Monica. I actually want her and Paul to be together."

"I know what you mean." Jessica said. Her face was starting to turn red and she thinks it's time she actually goes for it. As those two were talking, Monica noticed the two back there.

"Things look like they're going well." Monica said.

"What are you talking about?" Paul said.

"Okay, I shouldn't say anything, but I think Jessica and Harris would be great together and you're his best friend which means you can help out." Monica said with Paul getting confused. "Jessica really likes Harris. I've been trying to hook them up together."

"She does?" Paul said and thought about it. "I guess they would be together. They're both smart, they're both nice folks. Maybe they are right for each other." Paul was starting to get onboard and not a moment too soon as Jessica was turning red.

"Jessica, are you okay?" Harris asked and here it goes.

"Harris, I like you and I mean that I like you as more than a friend. I really, really like you." Jessica claimed and Harris was starting to turn red himself.

"Seems like she went for it." Paul said as he was getting happy for Harris, but his spider sense ruined it. 'Spider sense going off? Where?' He looked around for the danger, but the danger showed itself as it smashed through the wall and turned into the form of Fang.

"Spider-Man! Where are you?!" Fang called out.

"Isn't that the wildcat criminal?" Monica asked, but she saw that Paul was gone. "Paul? Paul?" Fang still had his scent and was searching around for him. He reached the booth Jessica and Harris were in and he saw the scent was strong there. He was right in front of Jessica, but Harris tried to get between them.

"Hey, you better back off." Harris said as he tried to act tough no matter how scared he was. Fang grabbed a hold of Harris and was threating him.

"Harris…" Jessica said with her getting scared for him.

"His scent is strong around here. Where's Spider-Man?" Fang said.

"Spider-Man? I don't know what you're talking about." Harris said.

"Or are you Spider-Man?" Fang growled as he was about to do something lethal until he felt something sticky hit him in the head. He turned to where he came out of and saw the real Spider-Man

"Bad kitty. Pets aren't allowed in here." Paul said. Fang tossed Harris down and nearly hurt him as he pounced at Spider-Man, but Paul leaped back and moved out of the way. "How did you know I was around here?"

"I'm a tiger. We tigers are hunters." Fang said as he sniffed. Paul figured out that he tracked him through scent. Paul shot a web and it landed right on his nose.

"Try to sniff now." Paul said. Fang ripped it right off and attacked. Paul jumped over him and grabbed him by the tail and tossed him back. Fang charged at him and tried to slash at him, but Paul jumped away. Paul webbed a manhole cover and spun around for him to toss it right at Fang, but Fang deflected it. "That's right. Fetching is for dogs. Cats just roam around and go meow."

"This cat does more than that." Fang said as he pounced on him and pinned him down. He held him by the neck and raised his claw to slice his face right off, but Paul shot a couple webs and they landed on fire hydrant. Paul pulled with all his might and they hydrant came right out of the ground with it hitting Fang right in the back. It distracted him enough for Paul to kick him off. Paul jumped on a car to get some distance from the two.

"What is it with you, Fang? What do you have against me?" Paul said.

"My life has become twists and turns because of you." Fang said. "The only way for it to stop is if I eliminate you and take my rightful place above everyone."

"How pitiful." Paul said. "Fang, nothing will ever change for you because you only seem to care about yourself. When you're thinking of others or when others support you, it gives you the strength to make change." 'Just like how Jessica had the strength to tell Harris how she feels or how Harris just now tried to protect her.' He thought.

"Shut up!" Fang said as he refused to listen. He tried to swipe at him, but Paul jumped over. Paul webbed Fang's back and pulled him down and had him fall on his back. Fang managed to get back up and was going to keep fighting. Fang lifted the car and tossed it at Paul. Paul acted quickly and formed a net to catch the car. Fang charged at Paul again, but Paul jumped onto a building and avoided his attack. "All your jumping is really starting to annoy me."

"So let's put an end to this." Paul said as he jumped down the street. Fang ran after him, but Fang slipped and fell from the water that came out when Paul pulled out the hydrant.

"You think a little water can stop me? Tigers aren't actually afraid of water." Fang said.

"Perhaps, but just add a little electricity." Paul said. Paul webbed the jukebox and pulled it right out of the diner. He slammed it right on Fang and the broken mechanical pieces mixed the water to cause electricity to course right through him. Fang was electrocuted for a few moments until he became a fried kitty.

"I…..hate you." Fang said just before he passed out. Paul webbed him down to keep him restricted until the authorities arrived.

"I feel the same way, Fang." Paul said. Spider-Man left the area just as the police arrived to take Fang away with some people watching that.

"Harris, are you okay?" Jessica asked.

"Yeah. I'm okay." Harris asked.

"That was actually very brave of you to try and protect me." Jessica said with her face blushing. "Since our dinner was ruined, maybe we could try this again. Just the two of us." Harris seemed to really like the idea as he grabbed Jessica's hand. Monica watched and was happy for both of them.

"Looks like I missed a lot." Monica saw Paul came back, but when he did, Monica actually slapped him across the face. "What was that for?"

"For disappearing when the mutant tiger attacked." Monica said. "You're lucky you're really cute or I wouldn't ask for a second date." Monica walked away without even hearing an excuse from him. If things are going to change for Paul, it's going to take a lot of work and support himself. At least one couple had a great time in this date.
