Heehee... wow, i wasn't expecting to really get reviews for this story! Since I"m already doing one on their beginning... i decided to make this one sort of after they've met, and more of a movieverse. :) :) thanks for reading!!!
Ch 2!
MJ woke up the next morning in Peter's bed. She automatically checked her watch to see what time it was. It read 7:32 AM. She looked around and noticed Peter was gone. She remembered last night's events and how Peter had held her all night. She felt so safe and protected in his presence, like she wasn't afraid of anything. She sat up and found a note on the bedside table.
MJ-
I'm really sorry to leave you like this. I got a call from Jameson early this morning, demanding pictures for the next day's paper. I'm so sorry, I'll make it up to you later. Be back around 12.
Love, Peter
She smiled at how he'd signed his name. She was his love. It felt so good to hear it from him. She lifted her hand and looked at her ring finger, which now wore a gold band that held a moonstone on the front. It was the most beautiful thing she'd ever received, because it was from Peter. He was afraid that she wouldn't like it because it wasn't a diamond, but MJ assured him that she didn't need a ring at all. All she needed was him.
"Okay, well It's Sunday." She got up and went in the bathroom to change. She came out ten minutes later, brushing her hair and looking out the window to see if Peter was around. She still hadn't gotten used to the fact that he was swinging around the city on a daily basis in tights.
"My hero..." She whispered. There was no sign of Peter around, she assumed he was probably being yelled at by Jameson.

"Parker!"
Peter rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Good luck Peter," He heard Robbie say to him before Peter entered J.J.'s office.
"Parker! Where've you been? I need page one photos!"
"Yeah, I've got a few... let me just..." Peter pulled out the portofolio but before he could open it Jameson snatched it away.
"Lets see... These are awful! Robbie!" Jameson pulled out one of the pictures. Robbie came in the office looking annoyed, "Yeah?"
"Run this on page one. Parker! Get me more pictures." Peter hesitated for a minute, wondering if Jameson thought he was getting these for free or what.
"What!? Oh right," Jameson pulled out a slip of paper. "Give this to Miss Brant."
Peter took it and went outside the office. He approached Betty and handed her the slip of paper.
"Thanks Pete," She typed in something on her computer and wrote him a check. "Here you are, good luck Pete." Peter glanced at the check. One-hundred and fifty. Was he ever going to get a raise?
He walked out of the office, sullen and annoyed. He was sure he could probably do better at some other paper, but he didn't want to risk losing a good job in case they already had enough photographers at other places. He was putting the check in his bag when he bumped into someone on the way out.
"Hey, watch where you're going kid,"
"Uh... sorry." Peter said, the guy was pretty big. He was a gruff looking blonde with a grim expression on his face.
"What? Oh, you must be the Parker kid. Spider-Man's buddy. I'm Eddie Brock."
"Oh um, yeah, Hi. Nice to meet you."
"Yeah, see you around kid." The guy walked into the office without looking back.
"Weird guy."

MJ walked around the streets, trying to burn off some time before she could see Peter. She was so full of her thoughts of Peter and their engagement that she didn't notice she was in trouble until the last second. Screams erupted from around her. She turned around and saw a giant... animal heading straight for her and a crowd of people. She jumped out of the way at the last second, as the thing jumped through the glass of a cafe nearby. Getting a closer look, she noticed that it was some kind of rhino-human. It had a humans face, but a rhino's body.
"I'm the Rhino, so everyone, get down and hand me your belongings!!!"
Is this guy serious? He must be some amateur, taking stuff from a bunch of people in the middle of a crowded street?
It seemed the rest of the crowd was thinking the same thing. They hesitated. One moment too long. The rhino reared up again and charged at a group of people. She shut her eyes, not wanting to see the impact, and anticipating a deadly cry of pain and suffering she was suprised to hear nothing. She opened her eyes and saw that he had stopped clear in his tracks. She squinted to get a better look, and saw shiny threads that seemed to be holding him in place. He was tied up.
"Peter..." She whispered, barely able to hear herself.
"What, escaped from the zoo have we?" A familiar voice said from above. Spider-Man leapt off a building and tackled the Rhino head on. The webbing was torn loose, but Spider-Man had managed to pin him, which was quite a feat, for something his size. He landed a few punches here and there and managed to give him the beating of a lifetime. Either the Rhino had no fighting skills, or he was holding back, because Spider-Man was winning by a longshot. MJ gazed in amazement at Peter's ability to do such a thing, Peter, the guy who always dropped the 10 pound weights back in high school. Spider-Man quickly webbed him up and tied him to a nearby lampost.
"I'll be back for you Spider-Freak! Just wait, when you least expect it!" The Rhino said.
"Alright, I'll make sure to give you a call in prison!" Spider-Man jumped up in the air as the cops arrived and swung onto a nearby rooftop. MJ followed him, hoping to find him somewhere around the corner. She then stopped. He probably hadn't seen her. She ran into an alleyway to see if he was around the roof but saw nothing. She sighed. He'd probably headed home or something. She turned around and almost let out a scream. Spider-Man was right in front of her.
"Aaahh!!! Woah, you scared me there, tiger." She said.
"Sorry MJ. Where've you been? I was worried you'd gotten hurt by that lunatic." He asked her. "I was just, y'know wasting time." She smiled and then jumped and embraced him. "I've missed you a lot, Peter." She held him tightly, not wanting to let go.
"Me too, MJ... even if it was only for a few hours..." He suddenly shot out a webline and soared up, MJ, taken by suprised, shrieked a little, but relaxed a moment later. There they were, soaring hundreds of feet over the air in New York City. Thousands of passerby's looked up and they all said the same thing, "It's Spider-Man!"
Unknown to Peter or MJ, a figure, peering from behind a building chimney, frowned and smiled deviously.
AN- sorry sorry, short chapter. I just figured this was a good place to end this chapter. The next one will be longer, b/c more of the story takes off there!! :) RR!
