The only sure way I could get Spiderman to come was to cause the trouble
myself. To do this I was going to need a little help. The only people I
could trust to help me was Andrew and Tessa, but how was I going to
convince them to help me. I talked to Tessa first because I talked to her
every night. I explained to her my whole situation and we began to think up
a plan. We decided we would have to do something that would not cause any
damage to anyone or anything. We called up Andrew and explained to him the
whole situation. He was a little weirded out but he helped us come up with
a good plan. Andrew and Tessa would enter the talent show and before there
show I would sabotage it. I would swing by and tie them up in web and take
off with Tessa's guitar. We practiced this many times before the big day.
Things in school also died down. People started talking to me and coming
around me again. I had gained my social status back, which I didn't have
much of it I was kind of a punk rocker type person.
Finally the day of the talent show came and we were ready. I was
standing on a hill above the stage and waited for their turn.
"And next we have Tessa Fugate and Andrew Fleming singing and playing their
instruments," said the announcer.
"We will be singing, a song by our band Radiate," said Tessa into the mic.
That was my cue. I shot my web from the hill and hit Tessa and
knocked her down. She was stuck there. I did the same to Andrew. I swung
down and grabbed the guitar and hung it around my waist. I swung off the
stage and prayed that Spiderman was watching over the carnival that day. I
looked behind me and I couldn't believe my eyes. Spiderman was just 50 or
so feet behind me. I took off for a condemned building. He was gaining on
me. I swung through the window. I heard a swing sound and turned around and
Spiderman had me pinned to the ground by his web before I knew what hit me.
"Give me the guitar," said Spiderman.
"Wait let me explain," I replied;
"It's a little late for that," He said.
"I have the same powers you do, I needed someone that knew what I was
going threw and the only sure way I could get to meet you was to cause
trouble. The guitar is my friends we have been planning this for about 2
weeks now there the only people that know about my powers. Please take me
in and train me. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle my powers." I said in
an exhausting voice.
"Well you seemed to handle them pretty well at the carnival. I guess
I can show you the ropes I need a little help every now and again. Well I
see you already have your costume, but do u have a name," he said.
"Richard Rains," I replied.
"No a super hero name," he said.
"Ummmm...Does arachnid sound alright," I said.
"Alright from now on it will be The amazing Spiderman and Arachnid,"
He announced.
That was one of the single greatest moments in my life. I was
announced Spiderman's sidekick "Arachnid".
