Chapter One
It was a fairly warm and normal day over the towns just on the edge of New York City, almost peaceful and tranquil in a way, at least in this specific spot of the world. Inside of the many garages, someone slammed away at a drumkit with ease and excitement, Gwen Stacy focusing and concentrating on another session. Playing long with this, her fellow bandmate Mary-Jane Watson, laid down a nice groovy riff on her guitar. Not the slight bit of hiccup or error halted either player from carrying on and getting back into the beat.
Both girls managed to work together within a sweet and steady rhythm, while some of their friends stood by and watched with amusement: Gwen's boyfriend Peter Parker, and other best friend Kevin Kittlemen. With swift arms and flicking of wrists, Both Gwen and Mary-Jane eventually brought their respective instruments down into a well-deserved resolution. The bouncing echoes of drum skins and guitar strings filled the garage before fading down into near silence. Not even another second skipped by before Peter and Kevin offered up a moderate amount of applause.
"Very good, Gwen," Peter complimented.
"Thanks, Peter," Gwen smiled cutely.
"That was brilliant, MJ," Kevin gave a thumbs-up of approval.
"Cheers, Kevin," Mary-Jane nodded before turning to both Peter and Gwen. "You think Gloria or Mariko will like this song I wrote for them?"
"Oh please, knowing those two, they'll fall in love with anything you make," Peter replied.
"Just as they've both fallen in love with you," Gwen added with a teasing grin and a look in her eyes, causing Mary-Jane to blush a bit.
Just then, a few faint knocks could be heard behind the garage door from the outside, caught by the attention of all four. Noticing such sounds and wondering who it would be, Peter and Kevin went over to pull up the wide door with a big heave and puff of breath. Soon enough, as they opened up the door, they immediately saw who were the ones knocking, much to their faces beaming up with wide smiles of delight.
"Oh hey Miles, hey Anya," Peter instantly recognised.
"Hey Pete, whaddup?" Miles greeted back, offering a little handshake to Peter.
"We're doing good here," Kevin said between briefly hugging Anya. "Whaddup to you too?"
"We're doing good as well," Anya replied before she stepped in to see both Gwen and Mary. "How's it going with you too?"
"Not a whole lot," Gwen shrugged.
"How about your little band?" Miles questioned as he too entered into the garage.
"We're doing fine, so far anyway," Mary-Jane answered. "We're working on this song that I hope Gloria will like".
"If it ends with a proposal, I'm a hundred percent sure she will," Anya commented with a smirk, resulting in all of them bursting into shared light laughter.
