Chapter 5

While she was freaking out looking through the water for Spidey, she heard someone speak.

"Say," She quickly looked up on the lifeguard station that was attached to the ramp over the water, and saw SpiderMan, "a guy could drown waiting for you."

"SpiderMan!" She seethed, "I'm going to kill you!" And then at a scream of 'Bonzai!' Spidey was back in the water, just to be pushed under playfully by Betty. She looked at the drenched superhero and said, "You can't be always this much fun, it wouldn't be fair!"

He replied softly, "Trust me, I don't do this with just anyone."

She smiled, "Well, I'm glad you came."

He looked up and gently said, "Me too," after some more silence, they both noticed that they were incredibly close to each other, but neither cared. Betty swam over and pulled up his mask slightly and was just about to kiss... when all of a sudden she heard her cell go off from the jacket she had left on the ramp. She quickly pulled away blushing. When she went to check her phone, it was a text from Ned. It said, "How is my Bride to Be doing today?" She groaned.

"Bride to Be?" She jumped when she noticed Spidey was behind her reading her text. She hung her head, "Yes, I'll- I'll be married to Ned next week."

"Well of COURSE you are!" Spidey exclaimed pulling back down his mask and starting towards dry land, "So, what was this? A last fling?" He asked wringing out his spidey costume.

"I-I don't know," she admitted, "I was hoping to find out."

"Well, don't worry about it, I can help you out," he said remembering all of his past romance failures, "It was nice to meet you, thanks for helping me, oh, and congratulations." He said sadly.

"Spidey, please." She began, but was interuptted.

"You know," Spidey said finally turning around, "this just kills me. We might've hit this one out of the park. It was there, I know it, that can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence, World Series kind of thing..." then trying not to cry, he shrugged and said, "Oh, well," and turned and left Betty standing there amazed.

Peter jumped through his bedroom window and hung up his suit to dry. He felt like he was going to cry, but he held in the tears. Peter Parker should be used to this by now! He has been rejected or left so many times he's lost count! And his old Peter Parker luck was kicking in once more. Why can't Peter Parker get good luck for once in his life?!
