Ch.4
"How's those lines coming?" Peter yelled upstairs to me.
"Fine!" I yelled back. The truth was, I already knew all my lines. Instead I was writing my own theme song, again. Then I can sing it around the house to annoy Peter, ha, ha.
"Spidey-Chick, Spidey-Chick.
Friend or foe? Take your pick.
Evil's scared? Close your eyes,
Be prepared for a surprise.
Look out, here comes Spidey-Chick."
Hmm, so far, so good. Now to write the rest of it.
"Jill! Come here I need you!" MJ yelled from downstairs. I went downstairs to see what she needed. She needed help with the groceries.
"Where's Peter?" I asked as I picked up all the groceries out of the car.
"He's in the basement developing pictures. Your attitude towards us has changed! I guess Spidey-Chick is helping you grow up," MJ said as she followed me inside the house.
"Yeah, I feel like I've gotten closer to you guys," I said putting the groceries away, "You guys aren't as bad as I thought."
"It's like, you've turned into my daughter. We'll miss you when you'll go."
"I'll miss you guys too," I smiled giving MJ a hug. Just then Peter came out of the basement with a photos in his hand.
"I thought you might want this," he said handing me the photos. It was a picture of Spider-man and Spidey-Chick and the other photo of him and I, making the same pose we did in the other picture.
"Thank you, Peter!" I said giving him a hug, "You guys are the greatest!"
"I'm glad we could make you happy," Peter said with his hand on my shoulder, "now put those in a safe place and study your lines! You're play is in a week!"
I nodded and went up stairs to rehearse my lines. I love those two, I hope things would be like this forever.

During all this, Tina was walking down a street when a cute outfit caught her eye. It was an outfit made out of complete snake skin. Snake skin boots, pants, jacket and purse! Knowing her, of course she would automatically go inside and get it. What she didn't know was that she was going into a spell shop.
"How much is that outfit in the window?" she asked the strange, witch- like cashier.
"Nine thousand dollars," the cashier cackled, "but I must worn you, it has strange powers."
"Yeah? Like what?" Tina said as she pulled out her credit card.
"A witch had cast a spell on it, that whoever wears it would become one with the suit, and be the suit. They shall have the powers of a witch and strength and speed of the serpent forever!"
"Yeah, nice story grandma put I would like to but the suit now!" Tina said not listening and waving her credit card in her face.
"I warned you," the cashier said as she took the credit card, "have a nice day of living your normal life." She handed the outfit to Tina.
"Yeah," Tina said snatching the bag, "whatever."
That single moment was going to change my life forever.

"Go! Go! Go!" Spider-man yelled as we swung away from a helicopter. Spider-man said that Mr. J was trying to capture us to make us look like bad guys. Why this stupid guy has to try to kill us to prove it I have no idea.
"We have to split up!" Spider-man yelled as bullets flew over our heads, "You go left and I go right!" We went opposite ways as he led the police on while I escaped in an alleyway. I landed to catch my breath as I hid in the darkness from the helicopter. Just then my spider-sense went off. The police were entering on the other side of the alley! I swung away. I went to the highest building and looked down. There I saw Josh, about to be robbed from behind. Man, New York must be crazy this time of day! I shot my web at an antenna and jumped down to him, grabbed him, and bounced back up on the roof before he or the robber knew what happened.
"Oh! Hi Spidey-Chick!" Josh said, "What brings you around?"
"You were just about to be robbed! Watch out I won't always be here!"
"Oh thanks! I will!" Josh said as he almost walked off the roof until I grabbed him with my spider web.
"You did that on purpose didn't you?" I said getting his face. Josh nodded and laughed as I shook my head. "That's not funny!" Just then I heard a helicopter and started to swing away. Josh smiled as he watched me swing away.
"Be careful Spidey-Chick!" Josh yelled as I swung in the air. Soon I caught up to where Spider-man was. He was sitting on a rooftop, staring at a jewelry store. The alarm was going off, but there wasn't much of a commotion.
"Something tells me that this isn't a regular robbery," Spider-man said as I looked at him, "we better go check it out."
We quietly swung over and climbed inside the store, remaining on the roof.
"Diamondsss! Diamondsss!" I heard a voice say from another room, "Diamondsss are a girlsss best friend!"
"Spidey, over here!" I whispered as we crawled over to the room were we heard the voice. Inside I saw the weirdest looking burglar ever. Not only that, but it was a girl!
Her eyes looked like yellow cat eyes, her hair was in a really loose ponytail, blonde, a bit past her shoulders. Her clothes looked like they were tattooed to her body, black and red snakeskin, scales and slimy looking. She had a tail, like a rattle snake tail. She held up a huge diamond. "Thiss is beautiful," she said, "I must have thiss."
She lifted up her other hand that had a small purse in it. The purse wrapped around her hand like magic, and turned into a snake. Her snake hand opened its mouth and quickly snatched it out of the other hand. She laughed as her snake tongue came out of her mouth and revealed her sharp snake teeth. Her snake arm snatched each and every diamond and swallowed each one. I gasped as I watched this strange creature do so many things. Then suddenly it stopped. Her hand turned back into a regular purse and the purse disappeared. I panicked and looked at Spider-man who was also shocked as the creature stuck its tongue in and out.
"I sssense sssomething rather odd," she said as she looked around. "Come out, come out where ever you are, ha, ha."
I breathed harder and harder as she stood right under us. Spider-man grabbed my hand to calm me down. Finally she looked up, but we weren't there. We were peeking at her through the doorway. I started to run away, when Spider-man grabbed me.
"We have to get out of here!" I whispered gasping to him ."This is not a regular burglar!"
"Spick, you can't just run away from your fears," he whispered back at me (Spick was his nick-name for Spidey-Chick), "I fought many people like this ever since I became Spider-man. From Green Goblin to-" just then Spider-man was being pulled towards the creature by its tail. She wrapped it around him, and squeezed him.
"Well if it isn't Spider-man," the creature said feeling his face, "well I guess you are kind of cute up close."
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" I yelled charging at her.
"Wait, you didn't even let me introduce myself. My name's Cobra. I love diamonds and hate spiders-like you."
She lifted up her purse and her hand turned into a snake again. The snake charged at me, but my spider-sense warned me at each strike. I dodged many of them, until I looked at Spider-man who was struggling to get out. Then the snake bit me, but didn't touch my skin, but ripped my clothes. Then I shot web in her face and covered her snake with web. Then she let Spider- man go. Spider-man jumped out of the way, and stood in front of me.
"My spider sense is tingling, you better get out of the way," he said staring at Cobra.
"What do you mean? I webbed her! What could she do?" I said looking at her. Just then her hand got loose and charged at me again.
"Look out!" Spider-man yelled, pushing me out off the way. The snake grabbed hold to Spider-man's arm. The snake bit him deep and held him until Spider-man fell to his knees.
"Spider-man!" I yelled. I broke a glass case and grabbed a piece of glass out of it, and stabbed the snake. Cobra and the snake screamed in pain and ran quickly away.
"This isn't the end Spiders!" she yelled as she ran away. I picked up the passed out Spider-man and carried him back home. I should have listened. But he had to pay for my ignorance.
That night, Peter laid wounded in his bed while MJ nursed him back to health. I stood there in my costume, with my mask off. "Is he going to be alright?"
"It was a poisonous snake bite, Jill," MJ said wiping a towel on his head, "I'm going to have to call a doctor."
"It was a weird creature MJ! She was like a snake or something! I can't do this alone, not without Spider-man or Peter!"
"It may take a while for him to completely heal, you're going to have to fight alone for a while."
I shook my head in shock as I looked at Peter. He said I would just get in the way and he said for me to stay behind. But I didn't listen. He let me stay around him because he cared for me; he didn't want to see me hurt physically or emotionally. He cared because we are family. He loved me! I can't let him down!
I ran upstairs with my mind on Peter and Cobra. Who is she? Why does she have such hatred towards us? I went into my room and the window was open. I saw all of New York out my window. The lights in the buildings glowed in the night. I couldn't let New York down either. I turned around and looked in my mirror. I stared at my ripped costume and had flashbacks of Cobra. Then I turned off the lights. My pink and blue costume turned into a purple and black color. Then I got an idea. I turned on the lights and started designing a different costume. A purple and black one, with a spider-shaped hole around my belly button, a silver spider on my back and a little silver spider on the front.
Cobra, you may get rid of Spider-man for a while but his shadow is still around! I am Dark-Spidey, a.k.a. Spidey-Chick!
"How's those lines coming?" Peter yelled upstairs to me.
"Fine!" I yelled back. The truth was, I already knew all my lines. Instead I was writing my own theme song, again. Then I can sing it around the house to annoy Peter, ha, ha.
