It Finally Ends
The sound of honking cars and cursing people were passing below Spiderman and the Goblin. They were freefalling toward the streets below at an increasing speed. While they were falling, the Goblin grabbed Spiderman's shirt and landed them both on a roof. The Goblin had jumped away before they landed, causing him to land safely. Spiderman was unable to move way but did land safely.
"Its round two bug," the Goblin spoke. He then rushed toward Spiderman but he moved out of the way and tried kicking him. The Goblin turned and grabbed it. He then spun him around and straight into the air. Spiderman shot two webs that attached to the Goblin and pulled him into the air as well. The Goblin snapped them free and signaled his glider, which crashed out of a window in the Osborn Mansion.
"Here we go," Spiderman murmured. The Goblin hopped on and rushed toward Spiderman. Spiderman shot a web and attached it to the Goblin's glider's rear. He then swung around it to kick the Goblin in the stomach .The Goblin however ducked and pushed Spiderman away. Spiderman then fell to the roof in a heap. The Goblin then turned his glider and diagonally headed toward the roof occupied by Spiderman. The Goblin's glider then let out a roar of bullets.
"Have fun web head!" The Goblin called out. Spiderman back flipped over and over, avoiding the bullets but realized that the bullets were approaching. Then, as the spray stopped, a bullet graze Spiderman's left arm, causing him to fall to the floor. The Goblin took advantage of this and threw a pumpkin bomb straight a him. Spiderman didn't get away far enough and was caught in the blast. The explosion had burned through several parts of his mask, and several parts of his suit. The blast also knocked him off the building. Spiderman shot two webs at a building as he plummeted and slightly touched the street with his feet before launching back up and straight into the Goblin's glider, tearing it to pieces.
"Got you!" The Goblin then fell through a window in the Osborn mansion, into what seemed to be a den. Spiderman followed and jumped in through the window. When he entered though, the Goblin was gone. Spiderman looked left and right but saw no one. Then, his spider sense blared and he looked behind but was already punched in the face, flying into the wall, leaving a large dent. Spiderman jumped back onto the wall. He then pushed himself off and knocked the Goblin into the floor, crashing through two floors. They landed in an incredibly large room, full of pillars and objects.
"You asshole!" The Goblin said as he rose. "You killed my father and now you're destroying my house!"
"I didn't kill your father!" Spiderman retaliated.
"Liar!" the Goblin yelled as he threw a pumpkin bomb. Spiderman moved into the shadows, disappearing.
"Harry please!" Spiderman begged.
"Then what did you do Peter?" Harry asked. He then threw another bomb into the shadows.
"I can't tell you," Peter said weakly.
"See! You are lying you bastard!" Harry yelled, throwing another bomb into the shadows. He then threw another and another, all around the room, destroying many of the beams. Then there was a creaking and the sound of wood cracking. Harry didn't care though; all he cared about was Peter's death. He then took out another bomb, but before throwing it, he turned a dial on it, which obviously was intensifying the inevitable blast that would come out of it.
"Harry, I just can't tell you, I promised your dad," Peter explained. Harry then finally threw his adjusted pumpkin bomb, which let out a blast ten times as powerful as the original. A lot of the ceiling and two walls were blown out and Peter was caught in the full blast. He fell to the floor, his suit almost completely destroyed, writhing in pain.
"Tell me the truth Peter; you killed my father didn't you?"
"No Harry please trust me," Peter said weakly, his body covered with cuts.
"Stop lying to me!" Harry yelled as he grabbed Peter's throat and lifted him into the air. He then ripped away his mask and what remained of Peter's mask. He then threw Peter across the hallway and into another room. The vibrations Peter made when he hit the floor caused several wooden boards to fall directly over Harry.
"Harry watch out!" Peter warned. Harry looked up and screamed before the burning wood fell on top of him. "Harry…" Peter said dejectedly. He then slowly got up and walked weakly down the hallway. Peter had gotten down the hall and up several floors and to a large room before collapsing. His fade started to slowly fade away and the energy in his body slowly started to fade. "Mary Jane…"

Peter awoke later to the soothing touch of Mary Jane's hands.
"Peter?" Mary Jane called. "Peter wake up!" Peter's eyelids slowly lifted, giving him back his eyesight. The first thing he saw was Mary Jane's beautiful face, looking at him with worry.
"You look beautiful," Peter said sweetly.
"Honestly," Mary Jane giggled. "Wait, what happened to Harry?" Peter stayed silent. Mary Jane quickly understood his silence.
Mary Jane helped Peter get up and to a door leading to a balcony. As they approached, a razor bat had ripped through the air, crashing into the wall. Peter and Mary Jane turned to see Harry, a wooden board imbedded in his stomach and burns covering half of his face. Mary Jane screamed in disgust.
"Peter…" Harry moaned, almost as if he was a dead man. He slowly approached, a knife in his hand.
"Peter, do something!" Mary Jane cried. Peter however, was unable to do anything as he was too weak. Harry approached closer and closer, raising his knife into the air. Mary Jane and Peter closed their eyes in fear as he drew it directly above them. Then, the clatter of metal rung through their ears. They opened their eyes to find that Harry fell to the floor dead.
"Harry…I'm sorry," Peter said solemnly.

It had been three weeks, since Harry's death, twenty days since Mr. Jameson's rant against Peter and Mary Jane's fiasco. Nineteen days since Harry and Norman had been revealed to be the Goblins. Fifteen days since Mary Jane had gotten into a Broadway play.
Now, it was the day of Harry's funeral. Many important figures, diplomats, and business executives attended. As well as John, Mary Jane, Aunt May, Peter and Louise. Soon after the wedding Mary Jane and John had time to themselves.
"So, you really did leave me for Peter?" John asked walking along the graveyard with Mary Jane.
"Yeah, I'm just sorry that I didn't tell you," Mary Jane answered. "I hope I didn't hurt you a lot with what I did."
"Mary Jane, if I care about you at all, then I would want you to be happy. Nothing more, nothing less," John said kindly.
"Thank you so much John, you'll make Louise a great husband one day," Mary Jane responded, giving John a hug. The two then went their separate ways.

Later that day, Peter and Mary Jane entered Mary Jane's house. The two then sat down on the couch together.
"So much has happened this month," Peter said softly.
"I know, it's amazing isn't it," Mary Jane agreed. They shared a soft and long kiss. "Now that we don't have any interruptions, we can spend our time together.
"I want to start that before anything happens again," Peter murmured.
"Hmm?" Peter got off the couch and face Mary Jane.
"Mary Jane, we've been through so much this past month and it's showed me that we might not get the chance to be together," Peter began. "And I want to spend our lives together, there's nothing more I would want. So, I've thought about and I decided it was time."
"Time for what?" Mary Jane asked, perplexed. Peter answered by kneeling on the floor and pulling out a small red box.
Oh my god, Mary Jane thought.
"Mary Jane Watson, will you marry me?" Peter asked as he opened the box, revealing an emerald stone ring with a gold band. Mary Jane's face brightened like the sun and quickly leapt into Peter's arms.
"Yes Peter Parker! I'll marry you!" Mary Jane shouted and leaned in for a kiss, a long kiss that set Mary Jane and Peter's hearts on fire. Then, like a month ago, sirens rang through the window, forcing Peter and Mary Jane to break apart. Mary Jane's face dropped.
"No, today, I'm all yours," Peter said before leaning into another kiss.

New York was buzzing with the news of Mary Jane Watson and Peter Parker's wedding. The Green Goblin victim and star actress in a wedding. There was not a soul that did not know of this wedding. It really had turned into something of a publicity event. Luckily, Peter and Mary Jane were having a private wedding on a hilltop overlooking the ocean. It was located right behind a wedding chapel just outside of New York. The hill was like a huge backyard, laced with beautiful gardens and arches, set especially for weddings.
In one room behind the chapel, Mary Jane was receiving help from her mother and Aunt Anna on her beautiful wedding dress, designed by some of the most skilled designers in the world. The two had just finished fitting it, spreading out the wrinkles.
"You look so beautiful honey," Madeline Watson said gently, starting to fix Mary Jane's hair.
"I wish I could have looked this beautiful when I had my wedding," Aunt Anna commented. Mary Jane's expression at that was somewhere between a jeer and a smile.
"Thank you Aunt Anna, I do look beautiful don't I?" Mary Jane said jokingly, looking hard at her reflection showing no flaws or regrets.
"Oh don't be so snobby," Madeline shot back, playfully hitting her arm.
"Oh, I better get to my seat," Aunt Anna said as she approached the door. A few seconds after she left, Louise appeared, in her beautiful yellow dress, a rose picked in her dress' left shoulder.
"Wow, you look hot," Louise said playfully.
"Oh stop," Mary Jane responded.
"I just hope you're not going to run off like last time," Madeline warned.
"There's no way I'm leaving this one," Mary Jane answered quickly.
"Mary Jane let me tell you something, going through with a wedding is big stuff. I want you to be sure that you're doing the right thing." Madeline then grabbed the bouquet, rearranging the flowers to make it better.
"Yeah, I don't want you to grow up to be some middle aged woman with twenty cats as your only friends.
"What do you watch Louise?" Mary Jane snapped, her voice cracking from holding back a laugh.
"Hey it happens," Louise replied.
"Now, now, this is a chapel, I don't want you two doing anything stupid," Madeline cut in.
"Don't worry mom," Mary Jane replied automatically. A knock came from the other side of the door.
"C'mon Louise, I can't wait any longer!" John called.
"Coming!" Louise called. "Good luck to you Mary Jane." With these last words of encouragement, she left.
"Mary Jane, like I was saying, I don't want you to marry Peter yet if you're not ready."
"Mom, I've never been more ready in my life. I love Peter, there's nothing more to it." Mary Jane replied automatically.
"Oh. Mary Jane, you've grown up so much," Madeline said tearfully. She gave Mary Jane a long hug. "I want you to know, that I'll always be proud of you, no matter what happens." The music started to play, signaling the beginning of the wedding. "Good luck."

On the other side of the chapel, Peter was adjusting his suit, mindlessly fixing things that didn't need to be fixed.
"Nervous?" John observed, not needing an answer.
"Oh yeah," Peter replied. Peter was glad that he and John had become great friends. He needed another male to confide with. "Is this how you felt?"
"Pretty much."
"John? May I have a word with Peter?" an elderly voice asked from behind. John and Peter turned to see that Aunt May had entered the room.
"Oh of course," John said politely. John got up and left up.
"How are you feeling Peter?" Aunt May asked as she worked at Peter's collar. "Oh my, you look so handsome."
"I'm a bit nervous but I'm okay and thank you Aunt May." Peter said back, giving Aunt May a kiss on her forehead.
"It seemed just like yesterday that you were outside in the backyard, counting the stars with Uncle Ben. Now look at you, your getting married to the girl of your dreams. Soon you'll be having kids and become grandparents and…"
"Aunt May relax, your tensing up." Peter said worriedly.
"Oh sorry dear," Aunt May apologized, taking a hanker chief out of her purse and dabbed at something in her eyes, which Peter guessed in his head was tears.
"Aunt May,"
"Yes dear?"
"Thank you for taking care of me. You're an amazing woman, you know that."
"Oh Peter, you're too kind for your own good," Aunt May joked. "I just wished Ben was here to see this big day."
"I'm sure he's somewhere up there watching," Peter said sweetly in his boyish yet charming manner. It was a contagious effect Peter had on people.
"Oh Peter, no wonder Mary Jane fell in love with you." A man then knocked and entered the room, signaling to get ready.
"Well we better get ready." Peter said, pointing out the obvious.

Everyone was in their seats, awaiting the arrival of the bride. The one that was waiting most with impatience was Peter. The music from the organ was playing and soon, Mary Jane emerged from an arch covered in flowers. People gasped at her beauty, her elegant hair blowing in the gentle breeze, her dress flowing behind her as she walked.
Mary Jane gave a look to her mother in the left row of pews. The mother and daughter smiled at each other. Mary Jane then walked farther and faced Aunt May, who also smiled at her. Mary Jane then reached the hilltop where Peter and the priest stood. Mary Jane looked to her left and saw the maid of honor Louise, give her a thumbs up. She looked to her right and saw John give her an encouraging smile and wave.
As she walked up to the top of the hilltop, she heard Peter whisper, "You look amazing."
"So do you," Mary Jane whispered as well. The priest started to speak but Peter and MJ were only half heartedly listening. They were more focused on each other than the priest.
Memories flashed through both their eyes. Peter and Mary Jane meeting for the first time. Peter and Mary Jane at the science lab. The spider bite. The World Unity festival. The rooftop cathedral meeting. The alleyway kiss. The thanksgiving dinner. The hospital room. The Queensboro Bridge. The birthday party. The backyard. The fusion reaction. The missed play. The Planetarium. Peter attending Mary Jane's play. The pair walking through Chinatown. The upside down kiss with John. The café. The Pier. The giant spider web. The wedding. Peter's apartment. The Gala. Mary Jane and Peter's time together. The Goblin attack. The apartment. The attack. The hospital. The final battle.
Their memories broke when the priest asked Peter, "Do you Mary Jane Watson, take Peter Parker to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
Without hesitation, Mary Jane answered, "I do."
"Do you, Peter Parker, take Mary Jane Watson to be your lawfully wedded wife?" the priest asked toward Peter.
"I do," Peter responded eagerly.
"Then I now pronounce you husband and wife," The priest pronounced happily. Peter and Mary Jane then put their lips against each other in a short but wonderful kiss. People cheered and shouted but the two ignored it. All they cared about was each other and nothing else mattered.

Mary Jane and Peter laid in a hospital bed, a year after Peter and Mary Jane's wedding. They were holding a single baby girl together. They tickled her and cuddled her and giggled with her.
"What are we going to name her?" Mary Jane asked softly, playing with her baby's arms.
"How about Mary Jane?" Peter said sarcastically. Mary Jane giggled and hit Peter's arm playfully.
"How about May?" Mary Jane suggested.
"May, I like it, she can be just like Aunt May," Peter agreed. "May Parker…"
"Now we really can spend our lives together." Mary Jane then planted a long kiss on Peter's lips, trying not to come too close which would have crushed the baby. When they broke apart, the baby giggled and clapped, as if encouraging them.
"I can't wait." Peter said.
