Peter woke up on a nice comfortable bed. With a shitty hangover. He wears Wade's Deadpool suit, which he admits is quite pleased. He gets out of bed and walks from the bedroom to the bathroom. The second he gets to the toilet, he lifts the seat and starts to throw up violently for a minute.
After vomiting, he flushes the toilet and washes his mouth in the sink with water. He then walks out of the bathroom, only to find himself in Ock's apartment, when he sees Ock sitting on his futon, eating cereal, and watching reruns of Drake and Josh.
"Hey," Peter mumbled.
"Hey," Otto answered back. "I made you a bowl of cereal. I didn't put milk in because I didn't want the cereal to get soggy."
"Thanks." Peter then sat down on the futon and grabbed the milk. He poured it into the cereal and ate while watching Drake and Josh.
Josh: You put cumin in his waffles?!
Drake: You told me to put cumin in his waffles!
Josh: I said cinnamon! CINNAMON!
(*laugh track*)
"So?" Otto said with his mouth full of Fruity Pebbles. "Have you made a decision?"
"About what?" Peter answered
"About going back to Horizon."
"No, I'm not going back." Peter retorted. "First, Max cut me off from Horizon when I was trying to explain what I was doing there, and now he's begging for me to come back now that he knows the truth about the mind swap and knows that I'm Spider-Man? Hell to the fucking hell no."
"You know, you're starting to sound like Wade," Ock said
"Wade may be an annoying idiot. But he was right about one thing." Peter said
"Which is?" Otto asked
"If everyone is falsely blaming you and they desperately apologize to you when they find out you're innocent, you tell them they can go fuck themselves. And that's what I'm going to say to Max."
Ock chuckled. "Wow. That's savage. And what about Gwen and Anya?
"Them?" Peter scoffed. "Well, . . . them I still have to think about it."
"Wade called them 'Toxic Spider-Bitches'. Surely, you're not going to let that slide after that stupid 'Parker's part of the Goblin Nation' theory they came up with."
Peter pulls his spoon out of his mouth. "I mean. . ." Peter then swallows his Fruity Pebbles. "Thanks to Agent O'Neil, revealing my identity to them, and Max, Gwen, and Anya still refuse to speak to me. Hell, they didn't even visit me in the hospital!"
"Don't forget that they didn't believe you about the mind swap," Otto answered.
"Thank you," Peter said in a sarcastic tone.
Peter then looks at the time on his phone and starts to leave.
"Well, I'm off. I'm about to tell Max I'm staying at Midtown High."
"I wish you luck, Parker!" Otto said as Peter started walking towards the door.
"I don't need it!" Peter said before he walked out and closed the door behind him.
But as he was about to walk out the door, he immediately collapsed on the floor. Otto ran towards him and got him on his feet.
"Maybe you should rest more," Ock suggested. "Take that hangover away. Come on."
Otto leads Peter back to his bedroom and lies on the bed.
As Peter rested, Otto returned to the living room, sat back on the futon, and used his spoon to scoop more Fruity Pebbles. He then takes a spoonful of cereal in his mouth and starts chewing as he watches Drake and Josh.
Megan: It really wasn't that hard to figure out. His password is . . . *scoffed* 'Password.'"
(*laugh track*)
Drake: No way. It's so dumb.
Megan: It's a new kind of dumb
Josh: Yeah, it is. *starts walking towards his computer*
Drake: Going to change your password?
Josh: Maybe.
(*laugh track*)
Otto then had a reminder popped up in his head.
"That reminds me. I better change my password." Otto then got up and went on his laptop.
(*2:00 PM*)
Peter arrived at Horizon High and charged through the front door like he was about to take someone down, verbally, mentally, and emotionally. As he reached Max's office, he burst through the door, surprising Max at the very least.
"Peter," Max said as Peter kept walking towards him. "I didn't think you would-." Peter then cuts him off.
"Max, I don't want to attend Horizon High anymore! I'm staying at Midtown High! My decision is final!"
Max was both confused and shocked at what Peter had just said. "Peter. This is so sudden. I mean-". Peter continued to speak.
"Max, please. These past weeks have been highly stressful for me with the false blaming and mind swap. Mostly and mainly the false blaming. Originally, I would've taken it, but Wade is right. I can't deal with false blaming. And if it weren't for Agent O'Neil, my identity would still be secret even though Wade would expose my identity because he hates false blaming that much. He would. But that's not the point. The point is I'm no longer coming back to Horizon. I'm staying in Midtown."
"Peter," Max said. "I understand that half of Horizon was falsely blaming you, *he puts his head down in shame* including me. But now we all know the truth. About the mind swap between you and Ock. And by all, I mean everyone here in Horizon."
"What?!". Peter couldn't believe what Max had just said. "Did he tell everyone that I'm-"
"No, he didn't," Max answered.
Peter sighed in relief. "Okay, but that still doesn't change the fact that I want to return to Midtown High. I'm sorry, Max. I like Horizon, but like I said before. My decision is final. Goodbye, Max." You tell him, Spider-Peter.
Max takes off his glasses and softly pinches the bridge of his nose with regret and guilt written inside him as Peter walks out of Max's office and he puts on his headphones, listening to Spineshank's Beginning Of The End at total volume.
I, I don't ever wanna be the one to make you forget it.
I, I don't ever wanna be the one to make you resent it.
I, I don't ever wanna be the one to make you repress it.
I, I don't ever wanna be, ever wanna be, ever wanna be.
Peter didn't know that Wade was hiding in Max's office the whole time. He came out of nowhere after Peter walked out. He walked up to Max, putting his arm around Max's shoulders, and said, "Wow. Such a pity. Falsely blaming one of your top brightest and banning him from this nerd school, then finding out he's innocent after not only finding out about a mind swap but finding out that he is New York's Famous Web-Slinger, along with three other students of yours? Only to know that he doesn't want to come back here anymore and wants to stay at his old school because of the false blaming that you, the Toxic Spider-Bitches, and the rest of Horizon brought upon him? Oof! That's something you and the students will always regret for the rest of their lives! Tough luck, Maxi-Poo."
After listening to every word Wade said, something else came to Max's mind.
"Wait a minute," Max said. "There's a guard gate system here. How did you manage to get through?"
"Let's just say it involved finger painting, bikinis, and hot peppers," Wade answered with a smirk.
Also, what Wade didn't know was that a couple of Horizon High students were listening to Wade, Max, and Peter, for that matter. This means they now know Peter Parker is Spider-Man! Oh, my God!
(*5:00 PM*)
"So, yeah. I told him off."
Peter was chilling at Flash's house with Flash and the rest of Midtown High's football team, smoking a joint and listening to Catch A Lick by IamG ft. Robb Lyrical.
"Damn, Parker. You a savage," Flash commented.
"Well, hey. I'm Spider-Man. Sometimes I can be a little savage."
Everyone, including Peter, started laughing. But after the laughter wore down, Peter began to feel some negative emotions deep down in his heart. Like he forgot something. And he was right when he received a text from Miles.
Anya was sitting in her living room in the dark, watching reruns of iCarly and eating ketchup-coated ice cream from a bowl.
Freddie: Look, I know it's scary for you to put your feelings out there. Because you never know if the person you like is gonna like you back. Everyone feels that way. But you never know what might happen if you don't-
Sam: *cuts him off by pressing her lips against his, thus kissing him*
Anya's eyes were watering as tears started streaming down her cheeks and watching the TV screen.
"That is so sweet and romantic," she said before she looked down at her bowl and took a spoonful of ketchup-coated ice cream in her mouth. "And this is so disgusting. Why am I eating ice cream covered in ketchup?". She asked herself before grabbing a ketchup bottle from her right and squirting more ketchup in her ice cream.
(*insert laugh track here*)
A doorbell rang, which caught Anya's attention. She got up and walked towards the door. She looks through the peephole and sees Gwen standing in the hallway, eating a bucket of fried chicken legs coated in chocolate syrup. Anya opens the door, and both girls look at each other in desperation with dry tears. Gwen then looks at what the low-budget teenage J-Lo was eating.
"Ugh," Gwen responded. "And I thought I was eating something disgusting."
Anya looks down at her bowl and looks back up at fake-ass Spider-Barbie.
"Sorry," she said. "I'm just . . . well, you already know what I'm going through."
"So, you decided to eat pistachio ice cream with ketchup? Why?" Gwen asked
"I may have an IQ of almost 200. But I did not think this one through." Anya said with embarrassment.
"Can I come in?" Gwen asked
"Only if you give me a chocolate-coated chicken leg." Gwen offers Anya a chocolate-coated chicken leg and eats it as she signals Gwen to enter her home. They sit on the living room couch and continue eating chocolate-coated fried chicken legs.
"So," Gwen began. "Miles told me Peter no longer wants to attend Horizon and wants to stay in Midtown till he graduates."
"Doesn't surprise me," Anya said before eating the chicken. "I mean, *still chewing* It's obvious Peter hates Max and us for falsely blaming him for being an asshole when Ock was taking control of Peter's body. Then, we accused him of being part of the Goblin Nation. Of course, that theory had to be thrown out the window because we all know that Peter and Spider-Man are the same person."
"Don't forget that we didn't even visit him when he was at the hospital," Gwen said
"Thank you," Anya said sarcastically.
Both Spider-Bitches continued to eat the chocolate-coated fried chicken as it was Gwen's turn to talk shit.
"And what does he do after he gets out of the hospital? He goes to some random party where all Midtown High students know his identity and have the time of his life. And what do we find when we get there? A naked Peter, standing next to three naked bitches! *wipes tears off her face*" You and Anya deserved to see that!
"*sniffs and wipes tears off her face* Yeah," Anya responded. "Go to a Peter Parker/Spider-Man party and fuck three random whores!"
"Four."
Gwen and Anya looked across the living room to see that the unknown voice was Wade Wilson, leaning on the wall with a chocolate milkshake.
"How the fuck did you get in here?!" Anya retorted
"I'm Deadpool! I can do anything!". After a few seconds of awkward silence, Wade spoke again. "Nah, I'm just kidding. A half hour ago, you left your front door open, Anya. It's official. You're old *drinks his milkshake*."
"Why are you here?" Gwen asked. "Are you here to gloat?" It'd be nice!
"Well, I can see that you are eating emotionally. So, I don't have to boast anymore." Wade answered. "But, no. I came here because . . . well, let's say I'm Peter's wingman. *sipping on his milkshake*."
"Wingman?" Gwen said. "For what? Us or those three girls he banged?"
Wade clears his throat before he can answer Gwendylocks's question. "Well, first of all, it was four girls he banged. Second of all, me being Pete's wingman, is mostly and mainly for both of you. And, of course, those three girls he smashed. And possibly the fourth."
"As I recall, there were three girls we saw. In the nude." Anya said
"Nah," Wade said. "When you both bailed and drove off in my car, which I need back, he fucked the fourth one, and you both aren't gonna believe who it is."
"Well, I'd like to know who the fourth one was!" Anya exclaimed. "Who is she?!"
"Anna Maria Marconi."
Gwen and Anya looked behind them, and standing by the doorway was Peter Parker.
"Ah! Petey boy!" Wade exclaimed. "What brings you here?!"
"Miles texted me, saying you would pay Gwen and Anya a visit. So, I tracked your phone to ensure you don't do anything stupid."
"Look who's talking!" Wade said as he got off the couch. "You should be thanking me. I spoke to them for you. So, I'll leave the three of you alone."
As Wade walked towards the front door, Peter grabbed Wade by the hood of Deadpool's sweatshirt.
"Oh, no, no, no, no, no!" Peter said before he turned his head to face Wade. "You're staying here."
"Okey-dokey!" Wade said as he entered back in.
"Twenty bucks if you leave," Gwen said as she pulled out a twenty-dollar bill in front of Wade.
Wade snatched the twenty and bailed out the door as he pushed Peter onto the floor. Wade slam shuts the door behind him, and Peter gets up from the floor, only to find Gwen and Anya staring at him. And judging by the looks on their faces, Peter surrenders himself by spreading out his arms and legs like Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man.
"Go ahead." Peter started. "Slap me, kick me. I don't care. I deserve it."
"We would. But, when you said 'Anna Maria Marconi,' my mind exploded." Anya said. "Peter, did you have sex with a teacher?"
Peter returned to a normal standing position and answered Anya's question. "What do you think?"
Gwen scoffed and turned around as Anya returned to her couch to eat more chicken legs.
Peter sighed. "Look, I know. I'm sorry, okay. I'm fucking stupid. For not telling you both I'm Spider-Man. For going to that party last night. And what I was doing there, too."
Wade pops his head at the door and says, "More like who he was doing! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
The three spider-teens groaned in annoyance.
"Wade!" Peter said before he waved at him. "Buh-bye!"
Wade clicks his tongue while pointing finger guns at him and leaves.
"So, anyway." Peter began as he sat in between Gwen and Anya. "The only reason Ock brought me to that party and I chose to stay was because I needed something to escape the stress, the false blaming, and the hurt that came with it. When Ock told me that he and Anna Maria told you about the mind swap and showed you proof, I thought you wouldn't believe it since you both didn't believe me the first time after you discovered my identity. And Max, . . . well, Max is a somewhat different story. But the point is I wasn't thinking straight. And to be honest and no offense, but if you both did the same thing I did at the party, I would be heartbroken too."
"How would you know how we feel?" Gwen asked. (Seriously?!)
"Well, for starters, you're eating fried food with chocolate syrup. And your body language and facial expressions say it all. And what made me cry with heartbreak is this.". Peter pulls out his phone and shows the girls a video of them at the party and looking at a naked Peter with the three nude girls with tears and heartbreak in their eyes. After that, Peter continued speaking.
"When I first saw you both in this video, I failed to realize how much I hurt you. Besides, I never thought you both felt that way for me because you only saw me as a friend, and that's it. Let me ask you guys something. When did you both start having these feelings for me?"
"After Ock and Anna Maria showed us proof about the mind swap," Anya answered.
"After that, . . ." Gwen started. "We started thinking about all the positive memories about you. Like, . . ."
"Like me telling you about my Uncle Ben?" Peter said while making eye contact with Gwen. Then, Peter makes eye contact with Anya. "Or curing the city from turning into mutant spiders in Spider-Island?". Both females were sitting there in dead silence until Peter spoke again.
"That's good if you're both thinking positively about me. But since Otto gave me back my body, you both shut me out, even when you both found out about it and me being Spider-Man. Hell, you both even thought I was part of the Goblin Nation. And that hurts me even more. I mean, Gwen. Did you forget what I said about my Uncle Ben after your uncle became Jackal?"
Gwen just sat there, not saying a word but having guilt written all over her. #DownGoesDaBitch
"And, Anya. Who was one of the people who helped you save and cure everyone from turning into mutant walking spiders?"
Anya bowed her head down in shame, not saying anything. She damn well better not be saying shit!
"Weird shit has been happening throughout our lives. And you both didn't believe us about the mind swap because you were pissed at me for hiding my identity from you. I didn't tell you because even though you both have spider powers of your own, I had to protect you both because I love you!"
Gwen and Anya couldn't believe the last three words Peter said from his mouth as he held both of The girls' hands.
"Anyway, I thought I could take the blame for Ock's actions, but . . . I can't believe I'm saying this, but Wade was right. I shouldn't take the blame for someone's action if that someone hasn't truly reformed, especially if we saw each other memories. And also, I should've told you both I'm Spider-Man. But I think that ever since Ock and I nearly sacrificed ourselves to stop the Vulture, you guys felt regret that Otto and I really would've died. I think you both felt something when you thought I would die. Then, after Otto and Anna Maria told you both about the mind swap again with proof, that regret turned into guilt. And that guilt turned into love. And I believe that's where you both started to fall in love. But not with me. Nothing's changed. I'm still the same, Peter, and you're both the same, Gwen and Anya. You're both in love with what I did. You both love that I risked my life to save the city. But I don't think you're both in love with me. You just think you are. And I know that's what you're both feeling right now."
After listening to what Peter had said, Gwen and Anya have to admit. Peter was nothing but good to them. Both Peter Parker and Spider-Man. But then Ock took over Peter's body-like mind control. Or mind swap, to be specific. And after he got his body back, they cut ties with him. They blocked him out of their lives and had this bullshit theory of him being part of the Goblin Nation. But then Peter's secret identity was revealed, and everything changed. They still refused to speak with him after that. Especially for some stupid mission in Philidelphia, they all had to go to. And that Deadpool was more than an annoying fuck. Probably more annoying than the Annoying Orange. And to be honest, if that crazy agent didn't expose Spider-Man's identity, Wade would've told him, and everything he said after they were all kidnapped would be completely understandable. But then, through Wade's point of view, Ock and Peter almost sacrifice themselves to save the city. And they both ended up in the hospital. Luckily for them, they made it. And what did they do after that? They go to a party where all Midtown High students now know that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. Having the time of their fucking lives, drinking, smoking, fucking random bitches, etc. But Peter was right. Besides the fact that he had no idea about the party and that it was a surprise party from him and Ock, Peter chose to stay and party till his ass fell off. And after listening to everything Peter said, it is common for broken people to go out to parties and do dumb shit to take their minds off negativity. And that's what Peter was doing. Maybe banging three girls was just a one-night stand. Perhaps Peter was right when he said that Gwen and Anya would do the same to clear their heads. And maybe, just maybe, Peter loves Gwen and Anya the same way they love him. Or perhaps, Gwen and Anya are such a massive pain in the ass that I'd like to put their hair in ponytails and a noose around them and hang them till their heads start bleeding!
After listening to the few last sentences Peter said, Anya realized that the last few sentences were a reference to something she and Gwen know.
"You mean like in iCarly when Freddie pushed Carly off the street to save her from getting hit by a taco truck?" Anya asked
"Exactly," Peter replied before Gwen spoke after.
"And when Sam dated that guy Noseby Moseby because he got her all of that-"
"Bacon." the three said in unison.
"Have you ever had Bolivian bacon?" Peter asked
"No," Gwen replied
"Yes," Anya replied
Peter and Gwen looked at her in confusion.
"What?" Anya said. "It changes you."
Peter sighed. "Well, this is it. This is where we part.". Peter got up from the couch and walked towards the door before opening it. "If you guys still don't want to be friends with me, I understand. I wouldn't speak and see myself either. We had a nice run in Horizon together. Goodbye." And just like that, Peter left without looking back.
After a few moments of emotional pondering, Gwen and Anya had tears forming in their eyes. But they weren't about to take it.
They both got up and ran out the door. They got outside in the heavy pouring rain and looked around. Hell, they even looked at the sky to see a swinging figure.
Nothing.
Gwen and Anya broke down with their hearts broken, got on their knees on the wet pavement, and tears started falling. They both had just lost not only their best friend. But the love of their lives.
And that is FUCKING AWESOME!
