I patiently waited for MJ to come in and meet me for lunch. The hospital hadn't been as crowded as it was the day I started but it was still busy. Harris had been flirting all morning with me and it got to the point where the nurses started to make fun of him. The nurses were pretty funny.

Mary Jane came strolling in with her usual smile, "Ready to go Eileen?"

"Yes," I turned towards Joe behind the counter, "I'm going on my lunch break."

We started to walk away when MJ stopped us.

"Wait so who's the guy?" She said smirking.

I pointed to Harris who was walking to another curtain.

"Wow, he's cute."

"I know. He was fun to look at when we had dinner."

She laughed at my comment.

"Speaking of boys, Peter is waiting for us at the restaurant."

We sat at the table waiting for our food to arrive. Peter had a stack of photo copied papers that he pushed toward me.

"What this?" I asked.

"It's all the information I could find on alternate realities and traveling through them."

"Oh." I was a little disappointed for some reason that he looked for the information so soon. I guess I'm starting to like this new life better.

"Well it's not much but it's a start."

I guess that MJ saw the disappointment in my face and changed the subject.

"So what else did he say to you this morning?"

Peter sighed and MJ elbowed him a little in the ribs.

"I don't know, just this, that, and the other."

Peter looked at me in a serious tone, "I wouldn't get too involved with this guy. Especially since we don't know how long you will be here."

"I totally agree. It's just nice to have someone at work to talk to."

It was silent for a few moments until MJ broke it, "Hey Peter, did you ever tell Eileen about the apartment?"

"No I didn't." That's all he said.

"Well care to elaborate?" I asked him with my eyebrow up.

"MJ I didn't say anything because I slept on it and didn't think it was a good idea."

She frowned at the comment, "But Peter I thought you said--well it sounded like you wanted to move last night."

"I did and I do, but I really don't think I can afford it."

I looked at both of them, feeling a bit uncomfortable. I had a feeling that a fight was going to happen.

"Peter Parker! I thought we discussed this already. You know that I am willing to help out with the rent."

"But Mary Jane, this is something I need to do on my own."

She was looking more and more furious, and then she got up from the table.

Peter looked confused, "Where are you going?"

"Away from you dummy," oops I said that out loud.

He looked at me annoyed as he got up from the table too. "MJ?"

"Peter we'll talk about it later. Right now I need to get some other things done."

He looked disappointed, "Ok." He then sat back down as she walked away.

I looked at him questionably and then spoke up, "Well what did you think was going to happen. You obviously said something before that sounded like a commitment and then you suddenly change your mind. And on top of it you're not letting her help you, that's another important detail of a relationship."

"Its not as easy as you're making it sound."

I finally got to sigh at him. "Well it will be easier when you swallow you're pride a little."
