Summary: When you love someone, what lengths are you willing to go make it work ?

A Mary Jane/Peter Parker story, with a hint of action and a sprinkle of drama.

Authors Note: Mary Jane does know that he is Spiderman, but realizes it on CH2 of my
story.

This chapter had bit on a I-LOVE-NY feel to it, but I can't help it.
I am a born Queens girl and a bred city-girl, so I figured let me throw some of it in :).

Also, I have alot of schoolwork, so Chapter 6 "Toxic", will not be out till
(hopefully) Friday. Thanks to everyone who has been so patient with me.

Chapter 5 "Big Apple"

~~~~~~Mary Jane POV~~~~~~~

Central Park

And it was one. They went to Times Square and walked up Broadway, took a cab down

through Park Avenue and went to the Empire State building, and went to the NBC Exprience

Store ,where she showed off her abilities as a weather girl. They went to Lincoln

Center and SoHo, with Peter doing Spiderman-duty twice. They ended up in Central Park,

walking the foot paths, Peters hands in his jean pockets, while her dangled on her

side.

"This was great, Peter. I forgot how great the city was."

"So did I"

Then then lapsed in a comfortable silence and that was when she decided to make her

move, by wrapping her arm around Peter's and leaning on his shoulder.

"I love this place. It's like a escape."

"I know. Uncle Ben used to take me here on Saturdays to feed the ducks." His voice had

a slight catch in it and he leaned into her too, taking comfort in the serenity of the

moment.

It was then she took in his scent of fresh laundry, aftershave and and the city,

clinging to him like his suit. She then stood up straight and grabbed Peter's

hand, instantly feeling the relief of holding on too him run thoughout her

whole body, taking away the nervousness she felt about the acting job and the

stress of her waitress job in one second.

"Mary Jane ?."

No, this was not happening, not now. Go away.

"Mary Jane Watson, it that you."

She was going to turn away, but Peter had stopped, not wanting to rude to unwelcome

visitor.

"MJ," Peter whispered in my ear, " I think he means you."

As he came closer, she wanted to run from James Dafoe.

She had met him at her waitress job. He came in every day and always ordered the same

thing, a cheese burger with fries. He was good to chat with, but she soon realized he

was interested in her and was hitting on at every chance he got. She was clearly sending

him signals that said she was off-limits, she could even recall the conversation :

*********************fLASHBACK***************

"So Mary Jane, anyone special ?.", he had asked.

She took a moment to think when he suddenly burst into laughter.

"What ?.", she asked.

"You have one of those.I could see it in your eyes ", he had

said with the "those" in a exaggerated voice.

"Those ?."

"Your in love with a guy, its complicated, and you haven't dated anyone because

you convinced you too are meant-to-be. Like Dawson and Joey"

Before she could answer her next order came and she was too busy to speak to

him again for the rest of the night.

******************END FLASHBACK******************

He was good looking too, and the normal person would say better then Peter.

He had perfect blond hair, blue eyes, long lashes and prominent cheekbones. He

wore classic rich preppy, khakis and Polo tops. Today was no different.

She should feel attracted to him, but ever since she realized Peter was it, she

hadn't felt anything for anyone else. She squeezed on to Peter's hand as he gave her

a kiss on the cheek, so not to cringe. There was just something about him that creeped

her out, she just couldn't put her finger on it. At the same time,

Peter squeezed back, saying without words, **don't worry, I'm here**

"So what brings you here ?."

"Just taking a walk. Peter Parker, James Dafoe. James, this is Peter"

"It's nice to meet you Peter."

"You too."

He tryed to shake the hand that James had held on to, but Mary Jane refused to

let go. Instead, he gave him a uneasy smile.

"So how do know MJ ?."

"Oh, I'm a regular customer of MJ's, She has to be the best and prettiest waitress

in the city."

"Really ?."

"Yeah. Are you too off anywhere special ?."

She knew what this question meant: If Peter was her boyfriend. She wanted to say yes,

but didn't know what Peter would say, but knew if she did , he would be off her back

for good.

"Yeah, we are. Right sweethart ?.", she heard Peter say.

Sweethart ?. He was playing along. A tight squeeze confirmed it.

"Right."

"Where would that be ? "

"Family. We have dinner plans."

"Yeah, we better go. You know how your aunt hates it when we're late"

"Then, I'll see you later. It was nice to meet you Peter."

"Same here James."

As he walked away she turned to him and wrapped her arms around his waist, relishing in

him.

"Thank you."

"Anytime."

And at that second it hurt. Really hurt because she would never stop loving

Peter Parker. Even if it killed her.

An Hour Later....

86th and Lex.........East Side, Manhattan.

He felt the death it would cause. Looking at the materials in the cooler,

he could see it. They would pay. New Yorkers, full of their hardass attitude

and stupid pride, would pay.

The pain it would cause gave him goosebumps of excitement running up this arms.

It felt good. Real good.

So, what do you all think ???

Ok, I am putting Henry aside for a chapter or two (I think) to focus on
the Mary Jane/Peter Parker thing and my actual plot :).

Anyone got what my dastardly villian is up to ?

I was caught on a typo and I wanted to make it clear to anyone else who picked it up:
At the end of "Night Visit", my villian had a black cooler and by "Pysch 101", it was
blue. By accident, I changed it too blue and didn't realize it. Sorry for any confusion.

It is Black.

Please read and review. Feedback always gets my juices flowing.

Coming up "Chapter 6: Toxic"
