————————————————————————-In Sunday morning… Peter has just decided that he and Cinderella are heading over to the hospital… she will see amazing tall buildings especially so many citizens in the sidewalk
Cinderella sees the city landscape in the morning, filled with tall buildings and busy sidewalks. She sees all of the people on the sidewalks and feels overwhelmed by the amount of activity going on. She has never experienced a city so busy and filled with different types of people and buildings, so she's not sure how safe it is here. She looks at Peter and speaks to him quietly about what she's seeing...
"Peter, this all looks really...busy...so many people and buildings...and I haven't even seen any horses or carriages here..."
"Oh there is but… people now are taking taxis.." Peter lets her know but she never know this 'taxi' is
Cinderella looks at Peter and wonders what a 'taxi' is...perhaps it's some kind of car or another mode of transportation of some sort for the people to use. She's still worried about the amount of people and how busy this city is, wondering if it's safe enough for her and Peter to be there. She speaks to him softly, trying to get a better understanding of the situation...
"What's this 'taxi' you speak of? Is it some kind of transport for the people in this city? And is it safe to travel in this city?"
"Oh yes it helps of taking to your destination of locations you want the driver take you to…" Peter just spot one taxi wave his hand just so driver can see him that it parks it car and allow them get inside
Cinderella looks at Peter and tries to get used to the idea of a 'taxi' as she watches him wave his hand at one particular taxi that stops for them. She walks over to the car and looks at it curiously, feeling a bit nervous to travel in such a vehicle. She asks Peter about the driver, just to ensure that they will be in good hands...
"Do you know the driver of this car, Peter? Do they seem reliable and a safe person to travel in this taxi with?"
"Well yes I do… " Peter tell her that it's alright to be safe with taxi driver "uhh hospital please " he give the directions which it start the car and then drives straight to directions to New York hospital
Cinderella sees that Peter is confident about the taxi driver and feels more reassured that they are in safe hands. She sees how the car starts up and begins to drive off in the direction toward the hospital. She looks out the window and sees the city landscape and buildings pass by, feeling awe-struck by the tall buildings and busy sidewalks once again. She then glances over at Peter, wanting to know how he's feeling about this trip to the hospital...
"I just hope Aunt May can get out of hospital so she can come home safely …" Peter glance over to Cinderella with depression look
Cinderella looks at Peter with worry, noticing his depressed look and knowing that it must be about Aunt May's condition. She holds his hand and gives him a comforting pat...wishing for the best results with Aunt May's recovery. She speaks to him gently as to show she's there for him in his time of need.
"I hope so too, Peter. I'll pray that everything goes well and we can bring Aunt May back home soon. In the meantime, you try to stay strong and have faith in a good outcome..."
"Alright thanks Cindy…" Peter didn't want to say her real name in front of driver if he thinks he crazy calling her of fairytale princess
Cinderella feels a bit amused when Peter calls her 'Cindy' instead of her real name since she's been called that a lot by other people as well. She understands that he doesn't want to act like she's a fairytale princess in front of the driver, which is understandable. She still gives him a reassuring smile as they approach the hospital.
"You're welcome, Peter. We're not far from the hospital...I hope things with your aunt will go well...it's okay if you want to hold my hand. I won't judge you for that."
Peter chuckles softly of Cinderella kindness as they waited for couple of minutes to hospital
————————————————————————-
As they made it to the hospital, Peter and Cinderella has sign their names to enter for visiting until they met up with Mary Jane who seem surprised by them arriving
Cinderella smiles softly and feels glad to be at the hospital with Peter, who looks a bit nervous but also eager to see how his aunt is doing...hoping for a good outcome in her recovery and release to come home healthy and safe. She sees Mary Jane and notices how she looks surprised to see them, wondering how she's been. She speaks to her warmly, trying to reassure her about their visit here...
"Hi, Mary Jane! It's so good to see you...we wanted to come and check in with you to see how you've been..."
Mary Jane smiled at Cindy. "I'm doing alright. I just wanted to visit aunt May and give her these flowers and the card. I thought she would be glad to see them." She said as she held out the flowers and the card. She wanted to make sure that aunt May knew that she was thinking of her. She hoped that she hadn't been hurt too badly by the Green Goblin. She was a bit anxious about the visit, since she didn't like when people got hurt.
"Oh thank you for it MJ…" Peter spoke very softly and smile warmly as they heading over to his room
"You're welcome, Peter." Mary Jane says with a smile. She was happy to be able to visit aunt May. She had been worried about her after what had happened. She felt bad that Peter's aunt had been hurt like that. She followed them as they walked to aunt May's room. They were both smiling and seemed happy to see her. She was glad that she could be there to support them during this difficult time.
Cinderella smiles back at Mary Jane and sees how happy and hopeful she is to visit Aunt May and bring her some flowers and a card. Aunt May had always been loving and kind to them both, so Cinderella is confident that Peter and Mary Jane will be able to cheer her up a bit during her recovery process. She walks beside them and notices the flowers Mary Jane is holding.
"I'm sure your aunt will appreciate the flowers, Mary Jane...she's always loved plants and gardens...she'll probably be happy to get a small piece of nature again in her room."
A light knock on her door that she is still in medical bed slowly opens her eyes and asked…
"Who is it?"
"It's me Peter Aunt May…" a voice that belongs to her nephew he is visiting her in the hospital since she been attacked by Green Goblin
"Oh Peter, come in sweetheart." Aunt May allows her nephew to come in which he did
Peter went inside of her room behind him was two ladies about his age Mary Jane Watson their next door neighbor and a new girl who is living with her nephew apartment for while named Cindy
"Hi Peter, thank you for coming. I see you brought Mary Jane and Cindy over to visit me." Aunt May notice them when they come in to sit down and next to her bed
"I hope that you young ladies are treating my nephew kindly." She responded
Cinderella gets invited inside by Aunt May and finds it a bit strange how she addressed her by nickname rather than her real name. However, she doesn't mind it and follows alongside Peter and Mary Jane. She smiles warmly and respectfully and replies to Aunt May.
"Absolutely! We just wanted to come and check in with you on how you are doing, and we're so happy to see that you're feeling better.. Oh, and these flowers are for you, Aunt May..."
She hands Aunt May the flowers in the bouquet that Mary Jane had given to her.
"Aw, thank you sweetheart. It's so sweet of you to bring me these flowers. You should know that you don't need to bring me anything. Your presence is enough"
"It's the least we could do, Aunt May. You have always been there for me, and I wanted to be sure you were doing ok." Mary Jane said cheerfully. She was happy to see that aunt May was on the road to recovery. She also liked that Cindy had joined them. She had met Cindy before, but she didn't know her too well. She hoped that the girl would enjoy the visit and see the value in spending time with aunt May, who was an important part of Peter's life
Cinderella smiles fondly at Aunt May and nods at her words of not needing to bring her anything, but she's still happy for her to accept the flowers. She listens to Mary Jane's words about Aunt May always being there for her and her cousin, which warms her heart. She sees how important she is to the both of them and feels happy that they are all visiting her to show their support during this emotional time.
"It's lovely seeing you all come together for her...I'm sure she appreciates the gesture and the company."
"Thank you, sweetie. You know that means a lot to me. I'm so thankful that I'm still breathing and here to see another day."
"It's a blessing being able to see my nephew and you young ladies. You both are beautiful girls. You make me feel young again!"
She laughed.
Cinderella smiled warmly at Aunt May, seeing how happy she was to have visitors and be able to talk about her life again. She was also glad to be called a beautiful girl by her, even though she wasn't expecting that either. She spoke to her kindly...
"We're also lucky to have you, Aunt May. You're a wonderful person and we're both so grateful to see you in good spirits. We can't wait to spend more time together. You're still young at heart and mind...always ready to have fun and be loving..."
"Oh, you are such a sweetheart. We all know that things have been tough for my nephew, and for so long I was worried that his life was going to be in jeopardy. But seeing him and you two beautiful, intelligent young ladies, it fills my heart with joy."
"I'm more than happy to have you visit. And if either of you two would like to come stay with us for a while, you are both most welcome to. And remember that you do not need to call me aunt. Call me May."
"I just don't want you to be alone in hospital …also I'm fine Aunt May" Peter tried to assure his aunt even though she doesn't believe that he's alright
"Oh Peter, I'm so glad you came to visit. I worry about you, you know that. You don't need to hide your feelings. You know that you can trust us, right?"
Peter could answer that… he pours for a moment when he heard that question… he may have kept secrets from His aunt and Mary Jane for good reason…
Aunt May noticed that Peter got a bit quiet and worried
"Is anything bothering you Peter? You can tell me."
Peter look over at Cindy he didn't know what to say… he knows he wouldn't tell his aunt about crime fighting life since she can't handle the reaction
Cinderella looked at Peter in concern as he remained quiet in response to his aunt's question. She knew he was keeping secrets from his aunt, and she guessed that it was about his crime fighting life. She was curious to know if he would tell her the truth, or remain quiet for his own safety. She looked back at Aunt May and spoke to her softly...
"It's okay, Peter...you don't have to tell your aunt about anything that you're not ready to share...but it's okay to open up to her if you feel comfortable..."
When he heard of Cinderella advice about sharing bits of information about his hero life he has responsibly with… so Peter took a breath to turn over to his aunt
"Aunt May… I umm.. I'm…" Before Peter was about to confess to his aunt he was interrupted by his best friend Harry Osborn entering to the room without a knock
————————————————————————-
Earlier in Sunday morning, Osborn's penthouse
Norman having his morning coffee very peaceful when he meet the eyes of Lady Tremaine who got herself a cup of tea served by Bernard
Lady Tremaine give a sinister smile when she see Norman in the kitchen
"Good morning, dear Norman."
Lady Tremaine then take a sip of her cup of tea before she look at Bernard
"Oh, Bernard. Thank you for the tea." Lady Tremaine then look back at Norman
"So, dear Norman. Did you find the Watson girl?"
"Oh hehehe… " Norman let out a low chuckle and grin creepy "Yes I did… especially she's in safe place…" he winks at her when Bernard nodded to Lady Tremaine
"Your welcome, Lady Tremaine" Bernard replied when placing the tea pot on the tray
Lady Tremaine let out an amused chuckle as she heard that Mary Jane is in a safe place and she wonder what Norman is planning to do with Mary Jane
"Ah, I see, my dear Norman. Tell me, what will you do to Mary Jane in this 'safe place'?" She ask with a smile
Lady Tremaine then look at Bernard with a small smile
"Thank you, Bernard."
"Ah nope… it's a surprise.. it's for our little spider..:" Norman whispered that he didn't want to spoil the detail yet until Spider-Man arrived…
Harry came out from his room already dressed to go somewhere
Lady Tremaine give a wicked smile and lean closer to Norman
"Ah, my dear. I can't wait to find out what you are planning, my dear Norman."
Lady Tremaine then look at Harry who seem to be about to leave and she raise an eyebrow
"Where are you going, Harry, my dear?"
"I'm going to see MJ.. for some reason she didn't answer my calls…" Harry explained to Lady Tremaine in f his reasonof going out this early in morning this Sunday
Lady Tremaine have a smile on her face when she see that Harry plan to see MJ
"Ah, yes. Lady Mary Jane." Lady Tremaine said calmly with a sinister smile as if an idea form in her head
"It seem that Lady Mary Jane has rather be busy with something and as such, she couldn't answer your calls, my dear Harry."
Lady Tremaine then get a bit closer to Harry
"By any chance, will you be going to MJ's house today?".
"I want to see if she's there… she probably have her phone off or something…" Harry was about to leave to front door
"Oh hold on.Harry…" Norman spoke to his son that he took a sip of his coffee "Don't forget that today… we are going have special dinner in restaurant together.. "
Harry look at his father with a confused look
"Oh, right. I completely forget… Thanks for reminding me dad."
Harry then give a smile before he head for the front door to leave but before he opens the front door. Lady Tremaine call for Harry
"Harry!"
Harry was about to touch door handle until he stopped when hearing Lady Tremaine calling his name "Yes?" He glance at her when Norman took another sip of mug
Lady Tremaine gave a sinister smile as she say
"Oh, my dear Harry. Could you do me a favor, my dear?"
The tone in Lady Tremaine voice seem rather suspicious to Harry for he wonder what favor his stepmother wish for him to do
"Like what?" Harry asked very off to Lady Tremaine wanted a favor for him to do
"You see my dear Harry, Lady Mary Jane have not answer any of our call for this morning. And since my dear Norman have other plans for her, I shall need you to deliver something for me to Lady Mary Jane, my dear Harry."
Lady Tremaine seem to be very persistent in getting Harry to do a simple favor for her this morning
There was small container that has slice of cheesecake it was homemade Harry was going ask Lady Tremaine but she cuts him off about to speak to her
Lady Tremaine then hold up a small container for Harry to see
"Here, Harry. Can you bring this small container for me over to MJ's home?" Lady Tremaine ask as she hand the container to Harry
"It have a slice of cheesecake for her." Lady Tremaine added, hoping that Harry would do what she order him to do without asking too many questions
"Ummm alright… " Harry decided to to do favor for his mother's friend… it was strange but it was pretty generous of giving this slice of cheesecake to his friend he goes to the front door and closing it behind him…
Norman place his newspaper down tha the was holding up his cackle lowly
Lady Tremaine give Harry a smile and watch him leave before she look at Norman
"Good job, Norman. Now, the stage is set up perfectly for our little plan to begin."
Lady Tremaine then get a little closer to Norman
"Ah, my dear. Shall we wait here for a little while for our dear Harry to do our bidding?"
The two of them then take a seat and wait for Harry to return with an update on how Lady Mary Jane react after he give Mary Jane the container with the piece of homemade cheesecake.
"Oh yes… especially to get it set up… I got to go back to lab and you get your daughters ready when it's afternoon by 5… so we can leave to the restaurant… My son will show up … " Norman give the instructions for Lady Tremaine
Lady Tremaine nod and gave Norman a sinister grin
"Very good, my dear. At 5 o'clock this afternoon, Lady Anastasia and Lady Drizzle shall be all ready to join us for dinner at the restaurant."
She then look at Norman
"Oh, the plan can't wait for this evening, my dear Norman. I should get things set up with Lady Mary Jane first and once that's done, this shall be a wonderful evening."
"Oh no no… I'm going to be the one who take care of the girl.. especially you are going to listen to my show I'm giving for little spider…."
Lady Tremaine remain silent for a moment after hearing Norman's reply
"Ah, my dear Norman. So, you wish to play the main role in this little show you are planning for Spider Man?" Lady Tremaine ask in a curious tone
There was a rather sinister look on Lady Tremaine face
"Do you wish for me to act more in the background this time, my dear Norman?"
"Keep my son busy in restaurant …" Norman give her a task to watch over his son when he comes to restaurant after Norman can deal with Mary Jane Watson
Lady Tremaine give a slight smile at Norman's request
"Very well then. I shall keep your son busy and out of trouble at the restaurant, my dear Norman. And you shall go and do as you please with Mary Jane in your secret place."
Lady Tremaine seem rather excited at the thought of tormenting Mary Jane Watson. She seems to have an idea of how to make their "little show" more fun for her and Norman

At Mary Jane's House
Harry was standing at the front door of a girl he has a crush on that he gave a knock that it wasn't Mary Jane but it was her mother Madeline Watson "oh Harry dear umm can I help you?" She asked when she notice that he was holding a container of slice of cheesecake
Hi, Mrs. Watson. I actually came by to see Mary Jane for a visit.
"Oh I'm sorry sweetheart but I'm afraid that she's headed out to visit her friend Peter in the hospital to come see his aunt…" Madeleine Watson explained with apologetic tone
"No problem. I'll just be on my way. Have a nice day, Mrs. Watson. Sorry for bothering." Harry responded very politely to Mrs. Watson
"Oh it's no problem at all young man" Madeline gave a warm smile to the young man as he leaves to directions of hospital
————————————————————————-
Back to the present, In the Hospital and Aunt May's room
The three of them were startled when Harry entered the room unannounced. They were just surprised because they didn't expect anyone, especially Harry, to walk in the room at that time. Peter had been about to say something, but he was cut off. Mary Jane turned to look at Harry, and was surprised to see him there before her eyes.
"Oh, hello Harry. How are you sweetheart?"
Aunt May was surprised to see Harry "Harry… what brings you here today? Are you checking in on Peter?" She asked wouldn't mind of having Harry unexpected visit
Mary Jane was also startled by Harry's unexpected entrance. She looked at him curiously and wondered what he was doing there. She had a feeling that Harry was trouble, and her instincts proved correct. "Oh, hello Harry." Mary Jane said calmly. She knew that her presence was making him even more annoyed, and she decided to say as little as possible to him.
Cindy, on the other hand, decided to speak up. She turned to face him and raised a brow in his direction. She was curious about why he was there and his reaction upon seeing them
Cinderella gets startled as well when Harry walks into the room, surprised by his presence and also curious about what he's doing here. She looks at him quizzically, trying to read his thoughts, as she watches him speak to Aunt May. She noticed that he did not react kindly towards Mary Jane, yet Aunt May accepted him anyway and talked with him as if he was normal...but Cindy wasn't going to treat him the same way. She speaks up to face him directly...
"Hello Harry. What brings you here, might I ask?"
"I came... umm" as he was looking at every one in the room, the tension on his face was obvious. "I came to visit Peter. I was concerned about how he was doing after... you know... after what happened to Aunt May." he was still trying to think of a reason, but he was stumbling over his words now, and the more he spoke the more uneasy he sounded.
Peter didn't know what to say, so he stayed silent while Mary Jane and Cindy both turned to look back at Harry.
Cinderella and Mary Jane notice how nervous Harry is sounding and see his troubled face as he struggles to give a simple explanation for why he's here. It also seems like he's trying to hide something, which makes them wonder even more about the truth. Cindy decides to ask him directly to be honest in front of them...
"Harry, is that the only reason you're here? To visit Peter?"
"Well..." Harry paused, his face turned red in embarrassment and shame. "I guess... I came with this," he said as he took the container of cheesecake out of his jacket pocket, and held it out for everyone to see, offering it to Mary Jane.
There was a moment of silence in the room, and it felt like all eyes were on Harry, judging and analyzing his every movement. Mary Jane and Cindy were staring at the cheesecake and trying to understand why he had brought it.
Cinderella and Mary Jane both look at the cheesecake container in confusion and wonder why Harry brought a dessert of all things during such a difficult time. The awkward silence filled the air and they both try to make sense of the gesture, not knowing what to say. Before they can say anything, Cindy speaks up to Harry...
"Why did you bring the cheesecake, exactly?"
"My mother's friend Lady Tremaine sent me over with this gift for you," he explained. "She said you've been doing a good job with your acting practice and wanted to reward you."
Mary Jane didn't know what to make of this. She was both touched and confused. It seemed like such a strange thing to do during such a difficult time. She wasn't sure whether to accept the cheesecake or not. But she couldn't help but wonder what Lady Tremaine's motives for sending Harry over here with this gift were.
Peter eyes widen when he heard that same last name that he kept a eye in Cindy not wanting her to react to it so they will remained calm
Mary Jane considered turning down the cheesecake for a moment, but she didn't want to seem rude or to hurt Harry's feelings. She decided to accept the gift, even if she was confused by it. "Oh, thank you Harry. That was very thoughtful of you and Lady Tremaine. I'm glad to know that she enjoys my acting practice." She picked up the container of cheesecake and smiled at him. She was glad that Lady Tremaine recognized her effort, but she still felt baffled by the whole thing. It didn't feel right during this difficult time to be receiving such a gift
Cinderella felt slightly relieved when she heard that Lady Tremaine had sent the cheesecake as a gift for them. She also saw how Mary Jane was so confused by it and decided to accept it...which is understandable because of all the emotions going on during this difficult time.
"That is most kind of you, Harry...Lady Tremaine is quite generous. It's a nice gesture to show her appreciation that she enjoys her acting practice...but I do agree that it's a bit odd to receive a cheesecake gift during a time of struggle and sadness."
"Oh yes Cindy… I totally agree with that.." Peter responds with a warm smile but he knows he was actually worried about her but atleast his spider-sense isn't tingling or any danger to that cheesecake
Cinderella smiles back at Peter and noticed that he was worried about the cheesecake gift. He had been thinking about it for a while and also knew that her last name is Tremaine...
which made her realize that something was up, but she decided to keep observing for the time being. She speaks to Peter, trying to put on a normal front.
"I agree as well, Peter...but it is still a nice gesture. Lady Tremaine seems to be a kind person for thinking of us...thank you, Harry, for bringing the cheesecake from her."
"You're welcome" Harry said with a nervous smile on his face, his heart pounding and his adrenaline rushing as everyone gave him suspicious glances. "Please, enjoy the cheesecake." He took a step backwards and began to take his leave.
As soon as he started walking away, Aunt May stopped him. "Oh, and Harry." He stopped, knowing what was coming up next. "Where did you meet Lady Tremaine?"
Harry looked over his shoulder, hesitating to answer the question. He knew he couldn't tell the truth, but he also couldn't lie to Aunt May.
"Oh his father Mr. Osborn brought Lady Tremaine and her two daughters in his home.." Peter lets his aunt k on about it
Aunt May looks at Harry with a confused expression, but it became clear to her that Harry wasn't going to elaborate any further. She could tell that he was avoiding the question. "Alright... just thought I'd ask." She gives him a small smile, trying to reassure him that it's ok if he doesn't want to talk about it.
Harry nods in response and leaves the room, feeling a little better than before. As he exits,
Aunt May and Cindy glance at each other, both wondering if there's more to the story that Harry isn't telling…
Peter know that his friend doesn't really hide anything because he doesn't know much about Lady Tremaine and her two daughters' true colors…
Cinderella and Mary Jane look at each other after Harry left the room, confused and wondering about what more is going on about him meeting Lady Tremaine. Cindy's curiosity was piqued when she heard the mention of her last name and that she lived with Mr. Osborn for a while...which made her think about her past and how that might be related to any of this. She glances at Peter and tries to see if he knows any more than Harry does...but her gaze was soon caught by the cheesecake as she thought up some new questions…
"Uhh I'm going get some coffee over that machine, umm Cindy do you want to come along?" Peter gently lead Cinderella out of the room but stop to look over at MJ
"Umm Mary Jane, do you mind keep an eye on my aunt while I get coffee for us?" he asked with a warm smile
Cinderella agreed to go to the coffee machine with Peter since she had also needed something to drink to calm herself down from her excitement. She also didn't know what was going on with Harry and her stepmother ...but decided to put that aside for now and go with the flow of things. She smiles and nods towards Peter...
"Of course, Peter. I'll get coffee right away! I could use some anyway."
She begins to walk beside him to the coffee machine as Mary Jane watches over Aunt May.
Peter closed the door of his aunt room and then he takes Cinderella to a private stairwell so they can talk about what just happened
Cinderella follows Peter out of the room and they walk towards a private staircase where no one could overhear their conversation. She looks at him curiously when they arrive at the staircase.
"What is it, Peter? We're outside now...what's on your mind?"
She had also wondered what was going on with Harry and the fact that Lady Tremaine was being mentioned...
"Look, I know what you think but I know Harry doesn't really know that's your stepmother " Peter was talking about Lady Tremaine who made Cinderella as her servant in her own home
"He doesn't know?" Cinderella spoke softly as she took that in, finding it hard to accept the truth.
"But...what about the cheesecake? You said that he came over with the cheesecake to visit me but...but Lady Tremaine sent it to me as a gift, apparently."
She was starting to remember more details about that encounter and realized how strange it all sounded. She was more than confused now as she took in everything that Peter said and looked at him with a bewildered expression.
"I don't think your stepmother was targeting at you but MJ " Peter correct her that Mary Jane was the main target but his spider sense didn't alert him about cheesecake
Cinderella looked shocked when she heard that her stepmother was targeting Mary Jane instead of herself. It didn't make sense in her head, so she was starting to feel a bit suspicious of the whole thing now. Yet, she wasn't entirely sure where Harry fit in this whole picture either.
"Peter? But that doesn't make sense though. Why would my stepmother be targeting Mary Jane for anything and why was Harry asked to deliver the cheesecake? Is there anything that you're not telling me?"
"Look all I know that cheesecake isn't poison because my spider sense can tell me if there's any threat and danger near me or us…"
Cinderella nodded at Peter's explanation about the cheesecake and how his spider-sense could feel it as not being poisoned. But she was confused and upset as to why Lady Tremaine would get Harry to visit Mary Jane and deliver the cheesecake gift. It still didn't make sense to her, which made her even more suspicious of everything.
"I never said that the cheesecake was poisoned, Peter…I just want to know why Harry brought that over and where did Lady Tremaine come into this picture with that cheesecake gift delivery?"
"Let's see what's going happen…but I'm telling Harry is innocent…" Peter respond when they are getting out of stairwell
Cinderella still felt suspicious and wasn't completely convinced by what Peter said. But if he could sense that the cheesecake gift wasn't poisoned or harmful, then she trusted him enough for now to see where this would go.
"Okay, I'll trust you on that one, Peter. But I'd still like to get to the bottom of this…but I'll wait for now to see how things go."
Peter can see that Cinderella wasn't happy about her stepmother of being involved with Norman Osborn when they are heading to coffee to get four cups of hot coffee
Cinderella was still a bit upset and frustrated at how everything was connected...but she decided the best thing that could be done for now was to have something to drink so she could calm down, just like she always did. She spoke to Peter as they got the coffee for the four of them...even if she was a bit suspicious of everything all around them at that moment.
"Peter, it would be best if we can talk to Mary Jane and Harry more about this...but for now, let's just hope everything goes smoothly and normal."
"I…I just don't know what they are going react if I tell them that I'm Spider-Man and your real Cinderella who is now stuck in my universe…" Peter hold the tray of four coffee
Cinderella understood the predicament that her Peter was in at that moment...but she noticed how nervous he became when he spoke about telling Mary Jane and Harry more about the truth. She gave him a gentle, reassuring smile and tried to make him feel at ease in telling them.
"Peter, don't worry, okay? We'll think of something...but first, lets see how this whole thing plays out for now, alright?"
Cinderella picked up her coffee from the tray and sipped it a little...
"Alright…" Peter nodded very quietly that they heading back to his aunt room
Cinderella drank her coffee and followed Peter back to his aunt's room...she hoped that this whole day wouldn't be too awkward. She was still suspicious of Harry and Lady Tremaine's intentions though, so she wasn't as relaxed from seeing them again for the first time after so long. When they walked back to the room, she looked over at Mary Jane to see how she would react...
————————————————————————-
Lady Tremaine watch the scenery outside the window of the limo as they drive to the expensive restaurant
"Oh, my dear Norman. I'm really looking forward to dinner at the restaurant tonight." Lady Tremaine turn towards Norman
"My beloved daughters, are both of you ready for dinner at a fancy restaurant, my dear?" Lady Tremaine ask with a sinister grin
"Yes, ma'am. We are ready for dinner at a fancy restaurant." Drizella turns to Anastasia
L"Do you have a dress to wear tonight? Don't embarrass us by wearing a peasant's dress at a fancy restaurant, Anastasia. "
"Oh not like the one you are wearing" Anastasia pointed to her big sister dress giving her a glare
L"You are acting like a barbaric peasant with no manners, Anastasia! How dare you treat me with such disrespect! I'm your older sister and you must treat me with respect. If anything, you should be kissing my feet, you peasant."
"Why you..." Both sisters start to tackle, fighting with each other.
Lady Tremaine will notice of her two daughters fighting each other so she decide to stop their silly argument
Lady Tremaine turn towards both of her daughters and watch them tackle each other while she raise an eyebrow at them
"Dear daughters, do try to behave properly while we are waiting for our turn to be seated at a table in the restaurant, my dear." Lady Tremaine say calmly with a slight smile
The two girls would soon stop fighting at the sound of Lady Tremaine's voice. She then turn to Norman with a serious look
"Now, my dear, let's talk about our little plan for Mary Jane."
"Well actually I'll going to deal with our dear Watson while your mother and both of you are going to take care of my son while I'm gone…" Norman tell them again of what he is going do tonight with Ms. Watson
„Ah, I see. That plan definitely sounds very solid. My daughters shall be taking care of your son while you deal with Mary Jane in your secret place then we can all have dinner at the restaurant." Lady Tremaine sound satisfied with the plan
She then turn to her daughters with a slight smile
"Now, my dears, are you both ready to start our little plan to torment Lady Mary Jane, my darlings?"
"Yes, Mother, we are ready for the plan to torment Lady Mary Jane. I am so excited to see Lady Mary Jane suffer tonight!" Drizella grin while her sister Anastasia
"Yes, of course, Mother. I can't wait to see the look on Lady Mary Jane's face when she discovers our plan to torment her."
"Now then dears… enjoy your dinner time with my son…"Norman gives a warm grin to Lady Tremaine both of her daughters
"Thank you, Mr. Osborn. We will be sure to take good care of your son while you are gone." Drizella replied as Anastasia nods and smiles at Mr. Osborn
"Good…" Norman replied of seeing they promise him as limo finally made it to their destination park of front entrance of restaurant
"This restaurant is so fancy!"They look out the limo's window at the fancy restaurant.
"I can't wait to eat at this restaurant!' Anastasia exclaimed to their mother and Mr. Osborn.
"I'm sure it will be an enjoyable dinner, my daughters." There is a sinister grin on their mother's face
Bernard turns off the limo and gets out so he can respectfully open the door for Mr. Osborn, Lady Tremaine and her two daughters "enjoy Miss Drizella and Miss Anastasia" he bowed to two daughters
"Thank you, Bernard."Drizella responded to Bernard as they got out of the limo. Anastasia gives thankful smiles at Bernard also.
"I'll be long very, my dear"Norman lets her know when he got back inside of limo
Lady Tremaine and her two daughters got out of the limo and walk towards the entrance of the fancy restaurant
As they walk up the stairs that lead to the entrance, Lady Tremaine gave a smile to her two daughters
"Now, my little angels. Remember to be on your best behavior during dinner this evening." Lady Tremaine whispers to her two daughters before they step into the restaurant and walk to their table.
As the limo drives off, when Norman stay in the back he already give Lady Tremaine cash enough for pay the dinner
Lady Tremaine smile at Norman and took the cash that he gave to her
"Thank you, my dear. Now, go and do as you please while my girls and I will take care of your precious son."
She then watched as the limo drove off, feeling rather pleased about the plan that she and Norman had set in motion.
Norman just then took out his cellphone to press the fast dial to contact Grimhilde with the lab phone. He already makes sure that his name isn't on the phone call…
"Is it ready?"

Cindy and Mary Jane were still in the room sitting by Aunt May's bed...they both hadn't been tired enough to sleep yet, so they decided to stay awake to monitor their beloved aunt. Cindy spoke to Mary Jane quietly, trying to fill in the silence that was filling the room.
"It's about to be six o'clock...I can't imagine how tired and sad Peter must feel right now, having to watch his beloved aunt in this condition. I hope this whole situation doesn't get to his head..."
"You know what? I'm going to try and talk to him." Mary Jane said to Cindy. She knew that she wouldn't be able to sit there and watch him struggle with this. She had to help him and comfort him in any way she could. She gave a sad look over to Peter, knowing she needed to be there for him right now. "I'll talk to him." She repeated with confidence. Before she could say anything else, she stood up from her seat and walked over to Peter.
But until she get a phone ringing from her pocket it was her mother she's probably wondering if she coming home
She looked at the display on her phone and noticed that it was her mother calling her. She didn't want to take the call while she was with Peter, but she couldn't ignore her mother. "I'm sorry, Cindy, but I have to take this call." She said and picked up the call. "Hi, mom." She said as she spoke to her mother on the phone. "Everything's fine. Yes...yes, I'll be back soon. Love you, mom." After wrapping up the call, she looked back at Cindy. "Sorry, that was just mom calling."
Cinderella nodded and understood why Mary Jane had to leave all of a sudden like that. She was glad that she would be talking to Peter about everything, since he was having such a tough time with his aunt and her condition. She also wondered if Mary Jane's phone call was an emergency as well.
"It's alright, Mary Jane, I get it. I'm sure it was something your mom called you about that is important.
"You can go home to her if you like, I don't mind watching over Aunt May myself."
"Oh, thank you, Cindy." Mary Jane said gratefully. She wasn't sure how long this would take, and she wasn't sure if she was needed there or if she had more pressing matters to take care of. "I might only be gone for a little while if that's okay." She said. She really wanted to spend some time with Peter and make sure he was ok. She knew that this was a difficult situation for him and she wanted to make sure he had someone there for him. So she decided to go see her mother for a little while and come back later tonight.
"No problem, Mary Jane. I'll keep an eye on his aunt and make sure she's doing okay until you come back. Just go see your mom and make sure everything is alright, alright?"
Cinderella smiled reassuringly to Mary Jane and nodded for her to go ahead and leave, knowing that it was important to tend to her family affairs. She could sense that Mary Jane was eager to go see Peter and make sure he was okay, so she left the room to let her go. Cinderella then sat by the bed to watch over Aunt May...
————————————————————————-
When Mary Jane was outside when she spot close taxi that she got inside to give him directions of her home..
Once inside the taxi, she gave the driver her home's address and made small talk with him along the way. She was also thinking about how she could support Peter through this difficult time. She knew it wasn't going to be easy on him, but she was going to be as supportive as she could.
"Hello, Mom." Mary Jane said as she spoke on the phone with her mother while she was in the taxi. She was on her way home and wanted to let her mum know. "Yeah, everything's good. I'm in the taxi on my way now. I'll be home soon... Yeah, I know you don't have to worry. Love you, Mom" She said as she finished the conversation with her mum.
"Uhhh Mary Jane?… why are you worrying about me all the sudden?" Her mother asked very confused and surprised of her daughter worried about her all the sudden
"Wha-? No, nothing's wrong." Mary Jane answered her mother. She wasn't sure why her mother called her, but she sounded concerned and confused. "I was just taking a taxi back home from the hospital. I was checking up on Peter and his aunt and then I got a phone call from you. What's going on?" She asked worriedly
"What phone call? I didn't call you?" Mother was very confused that she didn't remember of calling her daughter on the phone
"Huh? But..I got a phone call from you a few minutes ago." Mary Jane said in complete confusion. She was sure that she was in the right and that her mother was the one who called her. She had received a phone call from her mum and she was sure of it, but her mother was telling her something different right now. "Are you sure you didn't call me?"
"No I didn't,.." Mother shrugged her hand she didn't remember calling her to come home
Mary Jane was now even more confused than before. She was sure that her mom had called her, but her mom was claiming that she didn't and seemed just as confused as she was. "But I'm sure I got a call from you." She argued back, as she was completely sure that she was right and her mother had called her.
Before Mary Jane can hear her mother respond all the sudden loud explosion knocks over taxi car knowing over the driver and her in it
"Ahh!" Mary Jane screamed as she was knocked over in the taxi by the loud explosion that knocked over the driver and her in it. It happened so quickly, and she didn't have time to register what had just happened. She felt her body flying through the air and slamming into the car door before she could even react. The car crashed to a halt and everything went black. She couldn't hear her mother anymore, she couldn't hear anything at all. That's when the pain started to flood her body and her mind...
Green Goblin stood in the doorway, his mask concealing his identity. His voice was distorted with malicious laughter as he stood over Mary Jane's unconscious body. He reached out and grabbed her body, lifting her out of the taxi car. He looked down at her as she lay unconscious in his arms and said in a distorted voice, "Sleep well, my dear..." Mary Jane was unconscious, unaware of what was happening and unable to even resist.
————————————————————————
Back to the Hospital it has been 40 minutes
Peter was resting in the chair next to Cinderella who notice that he was grunting his sleep again especially Aunt May saw her nephew is having nightmares
Cinderella was watching over Aunt May but she heard Peter making those sounds while he was asleep. It made her worried that he wasn't feeling okay. She got up and went to gently wake up her Peter.
"Peter...Peter...it's okay, you're alright...it's just a dream. It's not real..."
She said this while shaking him gently and also patting his head too, hoping that she could wake him up from his nightmare. Aunt May was still in bed and watching them from the side...her face showing concern too.
'Wake up, little spider.' Norman kept echoing in Peter's head very low and sinister
Aunt May start to rash her hand out to wake her nephew from nightmare he is having "Wake up.." she responded with soft voice just as Peter finally woke up from voices of his love ones
Peter woke up quickly and was panting from his nightmare. He looked around and saw that Cinderella was watching him, and that Aunt May was close to him in her bed. He sighed in relief and closed his eyes, rubbing them to get rid of the last bit of dream fatigue in his head.
"H-Huh? Oh...it was just a nightmare..."
He said in a quiet voice as he sat up, trying to get rid of his tiredness and go back to his normal self. He smiled lightly at Cinderella and Aunt May...
"Go home dear… you look awful…" Aunt May was worried of her nephew was trying to stay up to watch over her the whole day…
"You look beautiful…" Peter complement to his aunt with warm smile
"Thank you" Aunt May responded with small chuckle and smile as well
"I just don't like to leave you here alone …"
Aunt May smiled back at Peter and seemed to be relieved that he was trying to take care of her for the day. But she also knew that it wasn't easy for him to sit by her bed and watch her all day long...so she understood why he was tired and wanted to go home to rest. She didn't want him to worry about her anymore for now...
"It's alright, Peter...you did what you could and I couldn't be more grateful for your help." Aunt May reassured her nephew...she knew he needed some rest.
"Can I do anything for you?" Peter asked if there's something she wants her nephew do something for her
" You do too much." Aunt May lets him know that he already did something for her "College, a job, all this time with me. You're not Superman, you know. A smile. Finally. Haven't seen one of those on your face since Mary Jane was here" This made Peter blush when she knows that he has feelings for his childhood neighbor .
Aunt May's playful teasing of Peter made him blush a bit and made him smile softly back at her. He was definitely tired but was still trying to keep an upbeat mood with his aunt. And he felt a bit embarrassed that she knew of his feelings for Mary Jane…but he couldn't really deny it. He just hoped that his aunt would understand why...especially since he really felt like that towards Mary Jane.
"Hey, you were suppose to be asleep" Peter try to exude of his aunt teasing about his crush but she kept going
"You know, you were about 6 years old when MJ's family moved in next door. When she got out of the car, and you saw her for the first time you grabbed me and said, 'Aunt May, aunt May, is that an angel?' "She smiled of that lovely memory
Peter laughed gently as Aunt May continued to tease him about his childhood crush on Mary Jane. It made him a bit embarrassed, but he also had some fond memory of her that way too. It was something special that he was just now realizing again...that Mary Jane meant that much to him from a very young age.
"Heh...shhh! I couldn't help it, Aunt May, okay? She looked like an angel..."
"Did I really say that?" Peter asked that in background he can hear his friend Cindy giggle of hearing that cute story
Cinderella laughed softly at him when she heard him ask Aunt May if he really did say that when he saw her. She also felt like Peter's aunt was enjoying teasing him with those playful banter. She then decided to add to the light-hearted mood as well.
"You definitely said it...and Mary Jane looked absolutely beautiful. I can also see how you fell in love with her ever since then...it was love at first sight. Isn't that right Peter? It was?"
"Yeah… but… Well, Harry's in love with her… " Peter look down sadly
"Isn't that to her if she wants to be with Harry?" His aunt asked
Cinderella frowned slightly when she heard that Peter felt his friend Harry had also taken a liking to Mary Jane as well. She agreed with Aunt May, that it wasn't her decision on who Mary Jane wanted to be with, but she also understood why it upset Peter. It was a bit of a complicated situation...
"She doesn't really know who I am" Peter explained that Mary Jane doesn't know him much
."Because you won't let her" Aunt May was right that Peter didn't let her since he was too nervous and concerned " You're so mysterious all the time. Tell me, would it be so dangerous... ...to let Mary Jane know how much you care?"
Peter looked down at his aunt and then back out the window, feeling ashamed of himself for keeping his true feelings hidden. It was true that he was nervous about letting Mary Jane know how much he cared for her, but it was just because he was so shy...and he felt like he didn't stand a chance against Harry, especially with what he had seen from today alone. Mary Jane didn't even recognize him when Harry introduced him to her as Peter. This made Peter very insecure.
Aunt May sits up right to glance at her nephew and smile warmly "Everyone else knows…"
This made Peter to decide to finally face it to tel Mary Jane about his feelings for her
"I'll be right back.." Peter got out from his seat and goes over to see if there's phone booth
"But.." Aunt May try to spoke up but he already left the room. She turns over to Cindy if she can go over to Peter
Cinderella was also glad that Peter had finally decided to tell Mary Jane about his true feelings...she knew that he was keeping that in for far too long and he should let her know. Aunt May's concern for him also made Cinderella worried, hoping that things would go well with his friend.
"I'm sure it'll be fine Aunt May, he just needs a little time to talk to Mary Jane alone. He must be too shy and nervous to do that around you."
"Oh okay dear…" Aunt May understood to Cindy about Peter talk to Mary Jane alone…
Cinderella nodded and smiled at Aunt May, letting her know that she shouldn't worry too much. She would make sure that Peter would be okay when he talked to Mary Jane, and that nothing would go wrong. Cinderella then decided to try and find Peter to make sure he was safe…
Cinderella founds Peter who is near phone booth trying to call Mary Jane …
"Come on, pick up" Peter says quietly when waiting until she can pick up the phone to answer him
Cinderella walked up to Peter and stayed behind him, watching him try to call Mary Jane on the phone. She didn't want to intrude on Peter's private call to her, and instead wanted to remain a bit more inconspicuous. However, she still hoped that Mary Jane would pick up the phone and answer Peter's call.
"Hey MJ." Peter was about to respond hopefully until he just got Mary Jane voice message
"-Hi. Sing your song at the beep." A beep sound was heard in phone booth if he wants to leave a message for her
Cinderella kept watching Peter as he heard the voice message from Mary Jane. It was just a general message she leaves for anyone to hear if she doesn't pick up. However, now it was up to him to see if he would leave a message for her or not…the phone was in his hands now…
"MJ, it's Peter. You there? Hello? You there? I'm just calling to check up on you. Will you call me when you get in? All right, well... Don't... Don't go up any dark alleys. Hello?" Peter didn't get a respond when waiting patiently until she can picks it up
Peter didn't get any answer from Mary Jane's phone call as he kept waiting patiently until she finally decided to answer his call for her. When she didn't, he grew slightly concerned for her. It was clear now that he was worried about her safety since he wanted to keep checking up on her but she didn't answer him…
Until the phone finally picks up to his voice message… it was MJ voice who answer his call but…
"Can Spider-Man come out to play?" Peter eyes widne of recognizing that voice…
It was the Green Goblin
Cinderella was also shocked to recognize this voice too, and she heard that it was indeed the Green Goblin who answered the call rather than Mary Jane. This caught her off-guard as she began to feel a bit of dread...did the Goblin kidnap Mary Jane?
Peter drops the phone that it didn't fall to the ground but hanging on the cable…
Cinderella watched as Peter dropped the phone in a moment of shock, and it didn't even fall to the ground. This indicated to Cinderella that Mary Jane was in serious trouble now, and perhaps it was the Green Goblin who had finally captured her…
"Cinderella… this is very important… I need you to stay with my aunt while I go out…" Peter look around when he has his Spider-Man suit underneath his normal clothes
Cinderella looked over at Peter in surprise and confusion as he quickly asked her to stay with his aunt while he goes out. She had no idea what he meant by this, but she didn't hesitate to agree to it, knowing that he probably had some important business to perform elsewhere.
"Of course Peter. I'll stay with her. Just be careful okay?"
"Alright I will be…" Peter hug her tightly and then start to head over to near window luckily non of the nurses or doctors can see him so he can get dressed to his Spider-Man
Cinderella smiled at Peter as he hugged her tightly...she was so glad that he trusted her to stay behind at the hospital and watch over his aunt. She promised to keep a close eye on Aunt May and would make sure nothing bad happened to her during Peter's absence. She also hoped that he would be safe as well as he went out to become Spider-Man again...
