Jean frowned softly before blinking, "I could talk with Professor Xavier, but I think we should do a Youtube channel...If we film in the warehouse and do a po box thing...Put it under Jasmine's name since the world and all doesn't know her, so impossible to even investigate...".
Gwen blinked, "You have a mutant tech hacker or something at Xavier's school?", and Jean nodded, "Yeah...If we make the trail impossible to track, we might earn money for interviewing Spiderman, or say that Spiderman came to tell why he fights for the people because people are slandering him.".
Peter thought about it for a moment as he sat down, "Hmm... yeah, I think that might actually be a better idea now that you mention it. Sorry, I guess I was just thinking of something quicker and easier in terms of getting some extra cash. You're right, it does sound narcissistic when you put it that way.".
Jasmine caressed his shoulder, "And that's why you're our Peter...We keep you on the straight and high.", with a soft smile, "And I'd love to be the interviewer for Spiderman since the world doesn't know me...With the light around my spirit self, the people would either assume that I am in a spot of sunlight, or if this mutant tech hacker darkens the light down, I'm practically human, or if I'm behind the camera, nobody would know my voice, really. I wouldn't want to put our girls in danger since high school knows Jean Grey Watson and Gwen Stacy.".
"Yeah, this will certainly go viral in a heartbeat... or be deemed fake.", Gwen said. "Then we have a strong agreement.", Peter chuckled. "Won't have to worry about anyone trying to track us down if they just assume we're faking things and that I'm some guy wearing a Spiderman costume.".
"Speaking of costumes...", Jean smirked. Gwen grinned, "Where did you put my box, Jean?", and Jean replied, "Upper cabinet in desk.", and Gwen nodded, "Be back in a flash.", before zooming off and flying to Jean's bedroom, grabbing the secret gift, and zooming back to the living room, all thanks to using the front door and all.
"One of your special gifts, Peter...Happy birthday.", Gwen smiled as she gave the tied box to Peter, and Peter smiled, "My day patrol costume, huh? Knowing you, I'm sure it will be wicked awesome like my night patrol costume.", before opening the top.
"Certainly tried to make some added improvements since I had more time to work, think and got a bit more experience putting this stuff together.", Gwen smiled. "Ever thought of doing fashion lines?", Jean asked as Gwen blushed.
"Believe it or not... not really; just not something I truly want to do, you must know how cutthroat the industry is and just how tiring it will be to stay ahead of the curve... yeah, not exactly dream job material, if you know what I mean.", Gwen replied.
Jean smiled, "I understand as making costumes for us is only a necessity, not a passion.", and Jasmine replied, "Indeed. We will all find something we love to do.", watching Peter take the stuffing out of the box before his eyes widen in awe and surprise.
"So, what do you think, Peter?", Gwen asked as he just stared at the costume. Overall, it was fairly similar to the one he had been wearing beforehand but now much of the black was out and blue was added in to give him a blue and red costume with a thick black web lining around it.
"It's... it's amazing, Gwen...", Peter whispered in amazement. Gwen smiled proudly as Jasmine replied, "That's really awesome...I like the white spider on the back, and the white eyeholes...You would definitely be a great sight in the daylight.".
Jean replied, "That reminds me of the American flag colors...", and Gwen smiled, "New York City may be called the Big Apple, but it's also one of the greatest places where the American Dream can come true, and of course, New York City was made from the great people with dreams.".
"Certainly thought of everything, haven't you?", Peter chuckled as Gwen nodded. "Yeah, well, I just wanted to make sure that you'd like it and that it would work. Especially considering you'd be in the daylight now with it.", she said.
"Usual things installed in the suit?", Peter raised an eyebrow. Gwen nodded, "Yep. Kevlar, cotton, and spandex. But this one, got a wicked good belt, and there's something in the mask.", with a smirk.
Peter blinked curiously before grabbing the mask, and put it on, and looked around, replying, "I don't feel anything.", but his voice changed suddenly, becoming a bit deeper. Jean and Jasmine widened their eyes, with Jean saying, "Blimey, you actually sound like 18 or older!".
Peter went to take part of the mask off, replying, "How?", and his voice was normal again, and he gasped softly in surprise as he took it fully off, and Gwen chuckled, "Had to work on a voice faker device, and took weeks to make it smaller and smaller while it's able to work really well.".
"Jeez, Gwen... why haven't you just skipped grades already... or allowed Peter to give you a hand and save a few weeks' time?", Jean chuckled as Gwen smirked, "I could've done that but that would've ruined the surprise.".
Jasmine replied in awe, "It's incredible, Gwen...How could it work?", and Gwen chuckled, "When the mask is fully on, the voice faker turns on, and if you think about it, the day patrol lasts longer with rescues or whatever than the night patrol where people in the darkness have that impulse to imagine things when they are in flight or fight mode, assuming that Spiderman is a man, not a boy, and so, same thing for day patrol with the voice faker device as with people less afraid and more observant in the daytime.", explaining.
"Plus, if I'm ever caught on video or something; hard to truly match my voice.", Peter added. "Exactly.", Gwen pointed. "Basically, I'm just trying to help cover his bases.".
Jean nodded, "That's very smart, and actually very convenient for interviewing or whatever when filming for Youtube.", and Peter chuckled, "The people can take me seriously...", with a smile as he fiddled with the mask.
Jasmine went to sit on his lap, kissing him on the lips, "That's one side of looking at it, but you would never be taken as a fool by us...We know you more than those people...I, Jean, Gwen, we take you seriously.".
Gwen nodded, "That's right. You are our Peter, and you will always be.", with a smile, kissing his cheek, joining by his side, and Jean went to sit by his other side, "And that will never change.", with a smile, kissing his other cheek.
Peter chuckled warmly, "I swear, I got the most three incredible, wonderful, beautiful ladies in the whole world.", with a fond smile. "You big flatterer.", Gwen teased as he chuckled. "So, how long before you're out there using it?".
"If Uncle Ben and Aunt May were out for the whole day, I'd be out that window ten seconds ago.", Peter joked which got a big laugh from the rest of the girls.
Peter hummed, "So, is there another special gift from you, Jean?", and Jean glanced at the other girls who smiled at her, and Jean exhaled, "Actually, it's tonight...How do you feel about a trio set of lovemaking, starting with me?".
Peter's eyes widened by hearing that, "Really, you mean...?", realizing what she meant. "Yeah, mostly you can get one on one time with not only Jasmine but Jean and myself too... if you've ever had that desire...", Gwen smirked. "Know that for sure with Jean at least.".
Peter blushed at her insinuation since like much of the rest of the class before the bite, Peter certainly imagined himself wanting to being with Jean and spend some private pleasurable time with her. Peter then looked at Jasmine, "And you're alright with this?", with a little curiosity.
Jasmine smiled, "Peter, they asked me yesterday, and I want us, all of us to be happy together, and besides, tonight in the dreamworld, you have three ladies all to yourself, your very special gift from all of us for your birthday...you deserve this, Peter.".
"Some days I really don't think I do...", Peter admitted. "That I don't know exactly what I did to get so lucky to have all of you in my life.", with a shake of his head in amazement. "Your kindness... humbleness... a few ideas to start with for sure.", Gwen said.
Jean and Jasmine giggled warmly, and Jean replied, "She's right.", with a smile before kissing him on the lips with a tease of her tongue, and Peter exhaled in awe as she pulled back, "That was to be a sneak peek.", with a purr.
Peter's heart pounded a bit faster in anticipation, and Gwen chuckles, "Our boy's eager, but steady, Pete, patience, yet don't leave me out.", before leaning in to kiss him on the lips.
Peter sighed deeply, "You're killing me here...", and Gwen giggled, "That's kind of the idea. Right, Jasmine?".
Jasmine purred lowly, wiggling on his lap, "Indeed. Don't worry, those few hours with Uncle Ben and Aunt May will go by fast, and before you know it, you'll be in the middle of our huddle sleeping away in the bed, to our wonderful dreamworld.", before kissing him deeply.
Peter moaned as he caressed her back, amazed as always to have this incredible tigress of a woman so confident like she once was. Gwen and Jean smiled before Gwen heard the front door opening, "Oh, they're coming! Jean!".
Jean nodded, "Sorry, Jasmine!", before muttering under her breath, and Jasmine sighed heavily as she was pulled away from Peter's embrace, and Peter looked a bit upset as Jasmine was sent back into her cat body and blinked as she mewed and stretched.
Gwen instantly zoomed with the new suit and mask to Peter's bedroom, under the cat bed, while Jean quickly opened Gwen's normal gift which is a high-quality hologram machine which she has been working on since Peter's 15th birthday last year.
"Don't worry, Jasmine... we'll take care of that later, okay?", Peter whispered to her as she gave a small meow before Ben and May entered the living room. "Hey, girls... guessing Peter let you in?", Ben asked.
Gwen smiles, "Yes, sir. We couldn't help but wish the birthday boy. And besides, we love your food, May, as we figured that there could be a feast for ole Pete here. And of course, have a good couple pieces of cake...Ooh, is that the cake?", looking at the covered cake in May's hands.
May chuckled, "Yes, it is. And we made sure that it came from a local bakery...say, I swore I saw a third girl...where's she?". Ben nodded, "Yes, the black-haired one...is she new to school or something?".
The others suddenly were a bit shocked to hear that; that Peter's folks had managed to catch a glimpse of Jasmine there. There was little time, to come up with a proper explanation that hopefully would get any sort of questions quelled and the need to keep secrets could be held. Thankfully, Gwen managed to come up with something first.
"Oh, that was my gift.", Gwen explained, gesturing to a high-quality technology box. "Basically, it's a hologram machine, and it crunches the facts that any of us put down on this keyboard.", opening the tech open to reveal a keyboard. "Took me a whole year to build it. The girl you saw was Peter's dream girlfriend of sorts, a prime example to see what he wants in a girl, not caring what they look like as long as they're good, smart, determined, brave, and kind in both heart and personality.".
"Wow... that's... impressive.", May admitted as Gwen blushed. "Certainly took a lot out of me to make...", she said.
"And do you plan on making more or something like this?", Ben asked as Gwen shook her head, "For the time being? No, this already exhausted me, and I was just doing something truly special for a friend.".
Ben smiled, "Well, that is quite a unique present. How did you think about it, Peter?", with a curious nod. "It's amazing... I love it.", Peter smiled, though it was a half-truth.
While he greatly appreciated the 'current' gift Gwen gave him, he actually was more excited for the suit and the girls knew it.
May smiled warmly, "That's good to hear. Well, I better put the cake in the refrigerator, and get ready to cook that feast. You girls are all welcome to eat.".
Jean smiled, "Thanks, May. Really appreciate it.", nodding before glancing at Peter, "Hey, don't forget about my gift too!", handing her normal gift over to Peter as May smiled at Ben, gesturing to the kitchen.
"Come on and help me just this once, Ben. Our boy's turning 16, after all.", May replied, and Ben nodded, "Right.", going with her to the kitchen, hearing laughter from Peter as he held a handsomely ugly Christmas sweater, hearing Jean tease him to put it on.
Ben chuckled softly, "It's a wonderful thing for Peter to have great friends...I know Princess was his first and best friend, but I wanted human friends for him, you know?", and May smiled, "I know...Still, you saw that black-haired girl, right? She looks so real not to be a hologram...And Peter looked so happy with her...".
"Well, Gwen did say it was his dream girl and everything, so I can't imagine why he wouldn't be so happy.", Ben said. "Yeah... but... I don't know, Ben, something just feels a bit... off.", May admitted.
"I can take a wild guess; this has all started when he had his growth spurt, isn't it?", Ben replied, and May nodded at the question.
May exhaled lightly, "Yep. But I have a funny feeling that somehow this girl is one of Peter's secrets...But why couldn't he tell us?".
Ben kissed her on the cheek, "Teenagers are unpredictable...They have their own sense of privacy, and maybe she's just a hologram, but if Peter invited her, he should have introduced her, especially on his birthday, but I won't force him to reveal her location if she's hiding upstairs or having sneaked out the back door...".
May gasped, "You think he...", and Ben shook his head, "I told him my motto, May, and I don't blame him as he's still our shy, humble, nervous boy in there somewhere despite the growth spurt...".
May sighed as she nodded, "Yes... you're right... Peter's growing up, but he's still the same Peter we've watched over all these years."
"When he's ready, he'll tell us, I'm sure. Forcing him to confess to anything doesn't help anyone in the long run.", Ben said with a soft smile as he squeezed her hand.
Gwen heard everything Ben and May said while Peter was modeling his sweater for the girls, wearing it over his long-sleeved shirt, and frowned lightly, and Jasmine mewed, pawing at her hand as she noticed her frown.
The others noticed, and Jean replied, "Gwen?", and Gwen replied softly, "Can't say it here with them nearby. Need to go upstairs.".
"Hey, Uncle Ben, we'll be upstairs if you need us.", Peter called out before a quick OK from Ben got them to head upstairs. "Okay, now what did you want to say?", he asked Gwen as she sighed.
"Seems like your aunt and uncle are a bit suspicious of things at the moment regarding you.", Gwen started off.
Peter blinked, "Oh...Please tell me that they haven't caught into the fact that I like to cut it close for curfew time...", and Gwen shook her head, "Not that...It's about you and Jasmine...".
Jasmine blinked, mewed, "Me?", with Jean helping translate. Jean replied, "Okay, what did they say, Gwen?".
"Well, mostly they think that actually you might be some girl that Peter's been seeing behind their backs; not telling them about you.", Gwen said as Peter sighed as he lowered his head, "Yep... had a feeling that's where their imaginations would probably be going to.".
Jasmine exhaled, "I...I don't want to be judged...", and Peter looked at her, "Don't, Jasmine, don't think that. I...it, we should have seen this coming...I love you...".
Jean replied, "What do we do now?", and Gwen sighed, "It's up to you, Peter...both of you, if you want to make this right...Ben and May had this preconceived notion that you, if having a girlfriend, should introduce her to them on important days like your birthday, Christmas, something...But they are also able to be patient as they don't want to force you to do that as it's only your choice to do it anytime you need...You don't have to do it now...".
"But they may expect something fairly soon.", Jean bit her lip. "Which means either we find a way to break this curse... or figure out some good work around because the soul vision obviously does have some limits...", Peter pinched the bridge of his nose.
Jean sighed deeply, "I can keep her soul out for an hour and a half since we did 30 minutes already at least back there with the new suit and all...", and Gwen replied, "We can pretend that Princess is sleeping early since she tired herself out with exercising her new freedom again...that Princess adores Jasmine and all.".
Peter exhaled deeply, "I...I..Jasmine?", and Jasmine mewed softly, "We don't have to tell them everything...Just that I'm your girlfriend, that I'm bisexual...that I'm homeschooled and fostered...".
