Chapter 4
At the party, everything went wonderful. Everyone was actually okay with Spiderman joining them, even J.J. wasn't stopping him from coming in! Everyone was talking, and there was music playing, but what Peter couldn't wait for was the food! Betty had brought some mac and cheese, and Robbie's wife had made peach cobbler. Yum! Soon, everyone had the same thoughts as Spidey, and they all centered around food. Everyone was sitting at the tables watching the food come out, when Jameson got his revenge on Spidey for coming to the party. He stuck his foot out in front of one of the waiters, and the waiter sent mac and cheese all over SpiderMan! It was absolutely silent, until Spidey thought he heard a snort. He looked over at Betty and saw she was covering her face with her hands silently laughing.
"Excuse me ma'am, did you just snort?" he asked ever so serious. She quickly shook her head no, "I suppose you think this is funny," he continued. She nodded yes, "Well," he said picking up the butter knife with butter on it, "maybe you'll get a little chuckle out of this," he said as he took aim.
"You wouldn't dare-" She began then yelped when he let the butter fly into her hair. Suddenly at the yell of 'food fight', mac and cheese and peach cobbler was flying everywhere. Finally after a while both Betty and Spidey ducked out and started walking back to Betty's place.
"I guess this is what they mean by 'eat and run'," Spidey wise-cracked.
"We need doggie bags," she joked back. Then she looked down at her dress, "Oh dear, look at me! I'm covered in cobbler."
"Leave it! I may still be hungry," Spidey joked as as she began wiping it off. She pretended to glare at him.
"I can't believe you hit me with butter!"
"Hey, I didn't start it! I think Jameson was plotting against me this whole time!" Both of them laughed at the thought.
"Wow! Look at your head!" Betty said as she scraped mac and cheese off his head, "If you want to get cleaned up, you can take a shower at my place," she offered. Spidey, who was busy scraping food off his head looked to his right at the town park's pond.
"I got a better idea. Will you excuse me? And maybe hold some of that," he said as he placed some of the mac and cheese in her hand, "Pardon me." He then ran and did a cannonball into the water. She grinned. He was sooooo goofy. She walked up on the ramp that went over the water.
"Don't you know not to swim after you eat?" She teased him.
"Oh yeah! I forgot! I got a cramp, can't swim!" He said as he faked drowning. She just stood there and watched him come back up, "No fair, I saved you!"
"Nu uh," she shook her head, "It's too cold." He looked up, then ducked back under the water, she rolled her eyes, "I'm not going in there," she waited. He didn't come up, "Come on! I don't want to save you right now!" She whinned. She waited a little longer then gave in, "Alright buster," she found herself saying, "you better be worth it." After she resurfaced, she looked around. Where was he? "Spidey? Come on, this isn't funny..."
