Chapter 28: Happy Thanksgiving

This month is another Thanksgiving week. This was the first time that New York was celebrating Thanksgiving since half of all life was wiped away from existence by Thanos in year 2018 before the Avengers brought them back five years later in year 2023. Peter Parker was in his apartment doing his daily routine. Before he can go out and gather food he needs for the Thanksgiving dinner, a chatter came on the police scanner.

"Units, please respond. We got reports of an ATM robbery in progress at a bank. I repeat, there's an ATM robbery in progress. Any units in the area, please respond," the dispatcher informed over the radio.

'Oh, great. Why can't crime wait until after the Thankgiving holiday?' Peter asked himself.

With no other choice, Peter quickly puts on his Iron Spider suit and heads out the window and he swings towards the crime scene.

While he was swinging, the police cars' sirens blared as the responding officers drove towads the crime scene.

Peter then arrives at the crime scene and he spots a group of bank robbers taking all of the money from the ATM machine.

"You guys do know that the Thanksgiving is today, right? No one commits a crime on my watch," said Peter.

"It's Spider-Man! Get him!" the robber in charge ordered.

The robbers started firing their weapons, but Peter dodges the bullets with ease and he webs the robbers against the wall with his webshooters. The last robber then spams his shotgun rounds, but the bullet doesn't affect Peter due to the armour of the Iron Spider suit. Peter fires his webshooters and webs the last robber. After hearing the police sirens getting close by, Peter quickly takes off from the crime scene and watches from a rooftop as the officers got out of their police cars to apprehend the bank robbers.

'Just another day of stopping a crime in Queens. Time to get back to what I was doing,' Peter thought to himself.

Peter returns to his apartment and he quickly detaches himself from his Iron Spider suit and puts on his regular clothes.

"Peter, is that you?" May asked.

"Yeah, it's me. I just got back from stopping a bank robbery," Peter answered.

"Well, you're just in time. We should head out and get everything for the Thanksgiving dinner tonight," said May.

"I'll see if I can get MJ, Ned, and Betty to come. I don't think we can celebrate Thanksgiving without them," Peter suggested.

"That's a good idea. I was about to come up with the same idea too," said May.

Peter brought out his phone and texted MJ and his friends.

Peter - Hey, you guys want to come over for the Thanksgiving dinner? May and I are gonna cook the good stuff.

Ned - I'm down. I need to get out of my house anyway.

Betty - Me too. I could use a break from doing the school report with Jason.

MJ - I'm coming as well. I hope the food will be good tonight.

Peter - Awesome. May and I are heading out to get the stuff we'll be making tonight.

Peter puts away his phone and leaves the apartment with May and they walk to the local grocery store to buy some of the food for the Thanksgiving dinner.

When they arrive at the grocery store, the whole store was very busy because everybody was grabbing or getting into a scuffle over the stuff they need.

Despite going through a traffic of shoppers, Peter and May quickly got the stuff they needed and left the store and they walk back to their apartment.

After returning to the apartment, Peter and May started making the stuff such as mashed potatoes, the stuffing, turkey, and more of the delicious stuff.

After an hour of making the stuff, Peter texts MJ, Ned, and Betty.

Peter - Hey, guys. The food is ready. You can come to the apartment anytime now.

MJ - We're on our way. Don't start without us.

Ned - I just went to pick up Betty. She and I are on our way now.

Peter puts his phone away and he sets the table by placing the cutleries. May then helps out by putting the food on the table using her kitchen gloves. And right on time, there was a door knock.

"I'll get it!" said Peter as he runs to the door and opens it. Ned, Betty, and MJ were standing at the doorway.

"You're right on time. Come on in. And don't forget to take your shoes off," said Peter as he moved aside to let his friends in.

"Happy Thanksgiving, May!" said Ned as he took his shoes off.

"Thanks. You too," said May.

"Gather around, guys. Let's pray before we eat," said Peter.

The five of them sat around the table and they held hands together in unison.

"Father, thank you for this amazing day. We are thankful to have you with us at this beautiful day as well as this amazing family. And most of all, thank you for gathering all of us together in one table. Amen," said Peter.

"Amen," MJ, Ned, Betty, and May said at the same time.

The five of them started eating the delicious food, feeling grateful that they got to celebrate one of the most amazing holidays of the year.

"So, what are you guys thankful for at this time of year?" asked May.

"I'll go first. First, I am thankful to be around the people whom I love. And most of all, I feel very thankful to be around the special people. My amazing aunt, May Parker. My best friend, Ned Leeds. My friend and classmate, Betty Brant. And my girlfriend, Michelle Jones," Peter responded.

"Thanks, Peter. It really meant to all of us," said MJ.

"Happy Thanksgiving, everybody," said Peter.
