Ten minutes later the ambulance came and picked up Tina. The rain
stopped, but the gray clouds were still around. I went down to her as Jill,
leaving my costume with MJ. Tina opened her eyes and looked at me.
"Jill," she said in a sigh, "What happened?"
"You ran into that monster Cobra," I lied, I didn't want to tell her she
was Cobra.
"All I remember is trying on that suit, Josh breaking up with me, and having dreams of me getting even with you. I did so many horrible things and had the urge for mice."
"You did!" Josh said breaking through the crowds, "You licked mice and tried to get between Jill and I!"
"Josh!" I yelled, hitting him in the head.
"You mean, I didn't dream this? Then this must mean I know who you are Jillian," she said looking hard at me.
"No you don't-"
"You're Spidey-Chick!"
Josh and the crowd looked at me in shock. I paused for a moment and was about to confess when everyone heard a swish in the air.
"Look! It's Spider-man!" a woman yelled, "and Spidey-Chick!"
"Huh?" I said looking in the sky. Spidey-Chick swung over the crowd with Spider-man following closely behind her. Her webbing broke and Spider-man swooshed by and grabbed her before she fell towards the ground. They landed as the news surrounded them. "Spidey-Chick, what was it like fighting Cobra?" one asked. Cameras flashed as Spidey-Chick lifted her finger to say something. Spider-man grabbed her hand and put it down.
"No questions, please! She's very tired and does not have the energy to speak," he said blocking the cameras with his hand.
"Sure I can Spider-man, I'm not a weakling," she said yanking her hand away. I recognized the voice, even if it was trying to sound like me. It was MJ.
Spider-man put his hand on his forehead and sighed as MJ began to talk. After many questions Spider-man put his hand over Spidey-Chick's mouth.
"Alright M.I mean Spidey-Chick time to go!" he said picking her up and swinging away. I giggled after seeing what a great actress MJ was.
"I guess I dreamed that part," Tina said smiling, "I'm sorry I tried to break you guys apart. I guess my jealousy took over me." "Yeah, something like that," I laughed as they lifted Tina up and put her in the ambulance.
Josh tapped me on my shoulder. "You might want to practice sense your play is tomorrow!" Josh laughed as he pulled out a script.
"Oh yeah! Thanks Josh I almost forgot!" I said looking at the script. Just then Jamerson walked over to me.
"Now that Spider guy shows up huh? " He said lighting a cigar, "trying to take the credit of Spidey-Chick?"
"It's Spider-man Mr. J," I said surprised he didn't get my name wrong, "He was just waiting for the right moment to strike, I guess."
"I know his name Jill, I'm not an idiot," he said blowing out smoke, "so your having a play tomorrow? I could make big bucks off of that."
"Wait Mr. J, you're not going to say anything bad about it are you?" Josh said grabbing my hand, "this chick is a wonderful actress!"
"I'll see how wonderful it is tomorrow kid, high school plays are never perfect. Nobody can act better then me." I giggled as Mr. J gave me an angry look. I cleared my throat and tried to change the subject. "I think Peter will be well enough to be here tomorrow," I smiled.
"Of course he would, that boy only shows up when Spiderman's around," he puffed, "he knows he could only take good pictures of Spider-man so he played sick until he reason for working here was back. I knew what he was doing all along."
"Whatever you say Mr. J," I said walking away with Josh, "So Josh, how about those lines?"
At home, Josh and I practiced threw the night until I was ready for the play. He never found out about me being Spidey-Chick or Tina being Cobra.
The next day, MJ was helping me get ready for the play. I had this medieval dress, and looked in the mirror while MJ fixed my hair. "Ready?" she asked as I brushed my dress.
"Of course my lady," I said in a royal accent. "Whatever made you think otherwise?" I smiled as MJ led me downstairs. Peter was sitting on the couch watching TV. A spider crawled on the table next to him and MJ lifted a newspaper and smashed it.
"Hey that was my friend!" Peter laughed as he took the newspaper away from her.
"Oh really?" MJ laughed as she put her hands on her hips, "he should call next time."
Peter shook his head as he unrolled the newspaper. "Hey Jill looks like the daily bugle's talking about you."
"What?" I said leaning over his shoulder. It was about me. The headline said Spidey-teen in huge letters and Spider-man in small bold letters defeat Cobra.
I groaned. "The name is-"
"Spidey-Chick," MJ and Peter said at the same time.
"Look on the bright side kid, you take all the fame in this one. Look how small my name is!" Peter said squinting at his name.
"We better go drop you off Jill," MJ said looking at the clock.
"Right," I nodded as I headed out the door.
"We'll be there in an hour Jill," I heard Peter yell from inside. I hopped in the car as MJ drove me off to my final rehearsal.
When I got there Josh was waiting for me by the theatre doors. He gave me a hug as I ran up to him. "Nervous?" he asked as he held my hand.
"A little," I said as my hand shook.
"You'll do fine," he said as he handed me my script, "and tell that guy who's kissing you he better not enjoy it."
I laughed as I kissed Josh and walked in the dressing room. Inside I saw Tina flirting with one of the guys.
"Hi Jill!" Tina said smiling at me, "are you ready for the play?"
"You bet I am!" I smiled back. Turns out after Cobra was gone, Tina and I had started to become friends.
"You guys are on in three minutes!" the director yelled. We all gathered to the stage nervous and excited. I held my breath and felt my heart beating faster and harder as I heard the crowd getting softer and softer as the lights dimmed on the other side of the curtain. Finally there was a hush as the curtains went up and the spotlight shined on me. It was time to begin.
"All I remember is trying on that suit, Josh breaking up with me, and having dreams of me getting even with you. I did so many horrible things and had the urge for mice."
"You did!" Josh said breaking through the crowds, "You licked mice and tried to get between Jill and I!"
"Josh!" I yelled, hitting him in the head.
