Peter Parker shuffled along on his way to school, humming a song that he had gotten stuck in his head. "You would not believe your eyes, if ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep. 'Cause they fill the open air, and leave teardrops everywhere, you think me rude but I would just stand and stare..."
Ambling along, enjoying the beat of the song, he didn't notice a female figure catching up to him. "I like to make myself believe, that planet earth turns slowly..." Gwen Stacey's harmonic voice filled the air near Peter, who jumped in surprise.
"G-Gwen!" He blushed, calming down a bit from surprise to embarrassment. "I-I didn't know you liked Owl City...?"
Gwen laughed. "Like it? I know almost every word to their Ocean Eyes album!"
Pete smiled, feeling a bit moronic for not knowing that. Gwen smirked, continuing. "Why don't we finish the song? We might as well have fun before school." Her voice rang out, "It's hard to say, but I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep!"
"Cause everything is never as it seems!"
Gwen and Peter both turned around to see Harry Osborn catching up with them. "How come nobody told me we were doing a sing-along?", he asked sarcastically, though genuinely happy to hear and sing one of his favorite songs. "Mind if I join?"
Gwen and Pete shrugged. "Go ahead."
As they entered the school building, laughing and singing as the two boys' voices went higher and cracked, other students began joining in, and as that round ended, they began another chorus.
As the bell rang, nobody heard it. The entire student body, save Sally Avril and Flash Thompson, were belting Fireflies at the top of their lungs. The principal entered the hallway. "Why in the devil is EVERYONE late for class?"
The unison response, in song, was, "CAUSE EVERYTHING IS NEVER AS IT SEEMS!"
