Fred and George had left long ago to go "find jobs" and Aunt May was left
at home sipping her orange juice considering what she should do about the
boys. She was considering going in for an adoption, it was a huge step,
but something in her told her she needed to do this.
On the other hand, she hardly knew these boys and taking in children would be a huge responsibility. She also worried about Peter's reaction, she didn't see him being too happy. The door bell rang, Aunt May stood up slowly from her chair, it was the boys back from job hunting. She walked to the door shaking her head, poor boys, she thought. She opened the door, to find Peter standing there. Peter pulled her into a big hug,
"Hey Aunt May," he said pulling away from the hug. Aunt May's mouth was wide open, her eyes were huge, she was shocked.
"Peter," she said motioning for him to come inside.
"I thought I would come by, just to check in on you," he said sitting down on the living room couch.
"Wow," she said sitting down next to him.
"What?" he asked suspiciously, "What's going on?" Aunt May didn't know how to tell him.
"Well, last night two young boys came to my house, and now.." she said watching Peter's face, "they are living with me."
"What?!?" Peter said in disbelief.
"Peter, I need to help them, they are so young, and they're living by themselves....on the streets!" she said leaning closer to him, wishing he would understand. Peter didn't say anything he covered his face with his hands, and didn't say a word. What Aunt May didn't know was that Peter was really Spiderman, and that he had many different enemies. And he had a right to be afraid of his dear Aunt living with two unknown possibly dangerous twins. Aunt May knew none of this and was beginning to get annoyed, "Come on Peter, show some sympathy! They need help!" Peter looked at his Aunt May,
"No," he said shaking his head, "they can't live with you, they could be dangerous."
"They're kids!" Aunt May shouted more determined than ever to let them live at her house. Peter had come in counter with so many kid villians, so many kid side kicks, he had fallen in that trap so many times, he had thought to himself, "he's only a kid," and so he did not harm him, and then the lousy kid had come back with a gun, and had tried to kill him.
"No Aunt May, I won't let it happen," he said, "I can find another home for them, but they will NOT live at ours."
"Peter, this is my decision, and my decision only," she said defiantly.
"I am only doing what is best for you," Peter said. Aunt May was not to be budged, she had made her decision, they were to stay. Some how Peter saw that the decision was made and he could do nothing about it. He clenched his fists in frustration, if only she knew that he was Spiderman, if only.
"They will be back soon, you will meet them then, and I'm sure you will love them," Aunt May said smiling at Peter. Peter was crushed, if these boys were against him, they could kill her, and Aunt May was the only family he had left. But then again, Aunt May could be a good judge of character, he would meet them and see for himself. Right on time the two twins rung the door bell. "I bet that's them now," she said smiling. She opened the door to find the two twins smiling at her.
"Hey Aunt May," George said. And the two boys entered the house. They both stopped when they saw Peter sitting on the couch watching them.
"Fred, George, I would like you to meet my newphew, Peter," Aunt May said. The boys reached out their hands to shake Peter's hand. Peter reached out to them cautiously,
"Nice to meet you," he said staring at them, unsure of how to proceed. How was he to find out who they were really, and if there intentions were good. The boys looked like they were about to laugh at Peter's weird precense, the weird way he was staring at them. Peter was still watching them closely.
"So," Aunt May said trying to break the weirdness, "how did it go, did you find a job?" she asked pleasently. The boys turned away from Peter to face Aunt May.
"No, not yet," Fred said, "Actually we're kind of exhausted, would it be ok if we just headed to bed now."
"But you haven't had supper, or lunch," she said looking concerned.
"Actually we spent some of our money on lunch, so were really not that hungry," George said. And it was true, they had spent some of their money on lunch. They had spent the first half of the day making goods and then the last heading to wizard town and selling them to young wizards, they had bought lunch AND dinner, and had even made some profit.
"Ok then," Aunt May said sadly, "sleep well."
"Thanks," George said, and they both went upstairs to sleep in Peter's room. After they had left Aunt May remembered where they were sleeping, she had forgotten about Peter.
"So how long will you be staying?" she asked him.
"Maybe a couple of days," he had been planning to only stay for an hour just to check in on her, but now, now he had to make sure these boys were just normal good boys.
"Ok, then, you'll have to sleep on the couch," Aunt May said, feeling bad.
"ok," Peter said shrugging his shoulders. Aunt May and Peter went on to eat their dinner and after Peter was very sure Aunt May was sound asleap he headed up to Fred and George's room.
