I DON'T OWN SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN OR STOKED

-Parker-

Things were confusing with Fin. If Emma didn't announce herself or would've been just a few seconds later, than Fin and I would've kissed. But I don't know. Gwen felt special but Fin is also unique. After Emma told us the party was starting; I didn't want to be around, in case I said or did something stupid, which isn't that hard to believe given my track record with girls. We got to the penthouse Lo called home and we separated. Turns out both Fin and I were attracted to the dance floor. It started out normal; OK normal-ish. But it became weird when the fast paced song was replaced with a slow song. We both stood on the floor a few seconds longer then the others. But we still walked away from each other.

"Why can't my life be simple? Just for once? I'm a good person." I thought to myself while staring at the large plasma screen. That's when Emma brought Fin over. She tried to talk us into going on a double date. We both tried to deny going on the date, but Emma wouldn't let it drop until we agreed. A part of me saw the date as a chance to help some of my friends, but it also occurred to me that it would involve going on a date with a cool, sweet, and beautiful girl. Why am I against this again. Our eyes met for a brief second, before my cheeks started burning and I unconsciously turned away, and that's why. Suddenly, an idea formed, one that Fin must have also formed. We agreed to the date, but postponed it by saying we were almost constantly busy for the foreseeable future.

That plan was genius. Or at least it was, until a few days later when Bummer told us that Mr. R had given him explicit instructions to not only give the seven of us a two-day long break, but also to give Jonny the keys to the whale bus to take us to some big surfer festival. Just one of those things would be epic; together they became legendary. Correction, they would've been legendary if I wasn't trying to avoid going on an awkward date.

Before we could leave, we all packed what we would need. I got out the bag with the false back and ran to my lair. Once I entered the lair, I was forced to think of how I moved with the worn out wood that comprise the house so there wouldn't be any groaning. After the web shooters were in place and the back was secured, I was only a few seconds from open the door when I heard voices from underneath.

"I'm telling you I heard something." Lo said.

"I didn't hear anything." Fin lied. I knew that I couldn't risk staying here in case Lo decided to pull up a chair to investigate, but if I made another sound then I might have to find a new base.

"Only one chance." I thought with an idea forming in my head. I set my suitcase down and pulled out the web shooters. After webbing my suitcase close to the hole, I used a portion of my increased strength to reach the wall in one jump. As quickly as stealth would allow, I crawled to the roof. With a new view, I scanned the area and found no one could see the back and took advantage. I found my board and packed it. Approaching the whale bus, I saw Fin and shot her the most appreciative shot I could manage. The ride was mostly some of the others pulling some chain that made the whale bus blow water like an actual whale. At least I can say it wasn't a boring ride. We arrived early and found out the workers weren't finished setting up. Without any work, we couldn't put off Emma's ideas and the four of us began walking to the theater in town that wasn't too far from our parking place.

-NP-

Emma knew her friends would be acting weird around each other and would try to deny the idea of a date with each other. She was expecting them to put it off as long as they could. The red head was pleasantly surprised when the CEO of the hotel gave them a free trip to one of the most anticipated parties. She couldn't plan anything at the new location but saw something promising, a movie theater. She pushed the group to the building.

Some of her jubilee disappeared when she saw their weren't any romance movies playing. "If I can't get a romance movie then I guess we will have to go to the next best type; horror" she thought. She and Johnny stayed in there positions next to the potential couple, until the main character started getting the mysterious phone call. At that moment, she decided Fin and Parker were too absorbed in the film to notice their disappearance. Instead of leaving the building, the two moved two rows back; far enough to not be seen if they duck, but close enough to hear anything they might be saying. The movie was relaxing before the next piece of action and Fin noticed no one was sitting in the seats next to them. She tapped his shoulder, and without even turning his head Peter said, "They left us, didn't they?"

"Looks like it. And here I was hoping she finally moved on from someone who didn't even know her name. I kind of feel sorry for Front Desk guy." Emma suddenly felt bad about eavesdropping on her friends. And as Fin finished her sentence, she realized that she had involved one of her best friends in this plan. Before the red head could apologize to her friend, she heard the others started talking again.

"In her defense, she probably doesn't notice him. I hope the guy makes a move before he regrets it."

"He likes me? He's a friend. One that always wants to help." Emma asked herself. She began thinking of how much he had helped, but midway through started thinking about how Ty would call her "Ella" and how Johnny would suddenly become sad at points after she mentioned Ty. She led Johnny out.

"Where are we going?" He asked as they left the room. Once outside, Emma turned to the guy she had thought as a friend for so long.

"Is what they were saying true?" She asked. Johnny was about to deny it out of reflex, when he realized it would be the best chance ever for him to break past the "friend zone". Still he didn't trust his voice and just nodded. "I'm sorry for not noticing. Your nice and cool. So if it's still an option, I would like to go on a date with you. A real one." He was expecting the first part to end with a but. When the second part of the sentence entered his brain, he became ecstatic. He nodded his head since he still didn't trust his voice, only this time he worried he would sound too excited. The two returned to the theater.

While Emma and Johnny were out of the room Peter and Fin decided the movie wasn't able to keep their attention. While the actress was stupidly entering the attic, Peter turned to the blonde and said, "Want to see this town."

"From the ground or air?" She asked, and was answered by the grin now sitting on Peter's face. "Meet you in the back." Fin went into town while Peter ran to his case for his gear. The pair met up and were soon swinging through the air, avoiding the awkwardness that came when they thought too much.

Peter heard his stomach growl and decided for an impromptu picnic. He landed on an apartment building with a flat roof and said, "I have an idea. I'll be right back." And without another word, he swung to the small snack shack standing close to the parking lot. When he landed, there was no one other than an overweight teenager with a unibrow sitting behind the counter. The teen in the booth was bored until he saw the famous hero.

"Spider-man?! Do you need me to help defeat some super villain?" He asked, demonstrating karate-like movements and grunts.

"Not this time. I'm just looking for a picnic for two." Spider-man said, unable to stop a smile from spreading across his face under the mask.

"Of course. It's on the house." With speed that went against his size, the teenager ran and got a basket.

"Really? Thanks."

When the hero was about to take off the worker said, "Can I have your autograph?" He asked, with a pen in hand and his arm outstretched. Parker did and took off.

The hero soon got to the place where he left Fin and set up the picnic. The food was decent enough and there was no weirdness until he pulled out a pair of candles and matches. "Okay, I swear I didn't know there were candles."

"Alright, let's just sit back enjoy the lack of people trying to set us up." She replied and sat facing the west with her back against the air conditioning unit.

"Hear! Hear!" Spider-Man said with a can of soda in one hand and removed his mask with the other. He sat beside her and the two enjoyed each other's presence. The sun was lighting up the sky with orange, yellow and red as it sunk past the horizon. Peter looked over and saw Fin was doing the same. The same thing that happened in the staff house happened on the building and the pair blindly moved to the meeting spot. They both felt an electrifying sensation that neither had ever experienced. When they pulled away, neither could say anything and were stuck in a daze. The two would've remained in the trance longer if Fin's phone didn't start ringing. It was the others calling to tell them the music was about to start. She hung up and after Peter put on the mask, they swung to the bus.

-At the hotel-

"There is someone here claiming to be here to meet you." Baumer announced over the intercom system.

"Good, send him up." James Ridgemount told his employee. A few minutes passed and the new person was in the giant man's study. The guest was a blonde with a muscular build and in a plain black shirt.

"Ah, I was beginning to think you wouldn't get here." Ridgemount said, taking on a stereo tone.

"You think I'd miss out on a chance to have a reunion with my bro." He said.
