Sorry I keep getting him pets... I just really love the idea of Peter having a ton of pets, it seems really in character. That being said... something sad is on it's way, so please don't kill me when it happens. :(

The video opens to Peter, Ned, MJ, Harley, and Tony sitting on the living room couch.

"Hey guys!" Peter says brightly. "Welcome back to the Ironfam! Today, with the usual crew of idiots, and we are playing Last to be Found!"

"And there is a special surprise for the winner," Tony says mysteriously. "All I can say is... you want to win this, all four of you do."

"So, Tony is the seeker," Harley explains. "Peter, Ned, MJ and I will have five minutes to find the best hiding spot we possibly can, but only on the penthouse floor, the balconies, or the stairwell between the common floor and the penthouse level. Once the five minutes are up, Tony is going to come looking for us."

"It's basically really intense hide and seek," MJ adds. "And the winner gets something awesome, apparently. With the track record this family has, it's probably something living."

"What do you mean, with our track record?" Peter, Harley, and Tony say in unison.

"I mean, how many pets do you have?" MJ asks sarcastically. "If we tally them up... we've got Lady, Chloe, Luci, Sushi, and Quilliam."

"That's not that many," Peter grumbles. "I would still like a snake. And a golden retriever. And a chinchilla. And a ferret."

"You're ridiculous," MJ rolls her eyes.

"Can we just get on with this video with less mocking of Peter's obsession with animals?" Ned asks.

"So, Dad is going to count to 300," Peter says. "And the rest of us are going to go hide!"

"One, two, three..." Tony begins counting as the teenagers scatter. As soon as they're out of sight, he stops counting. "They honestly believe I'm going to count to 300?" he asks the camera. "No, no, absolutely not. I'm going to watch the clock and wait."

Peter is running down a hallway, causing the camera to be very shaky.

"Alright, guys," he says quietly. "I know exactly where I'm going to go. So you all have seen my room two videos ago. Sorry that it was actually like four weeks ago, I suck, I'm sorry. Anyway, so my room is generally kept fairly clean. Except the science lair, but we don't talk about that. Harley's room, on the other hand, is a danger zone. There would theoretically be a lot of places to hide in there, but there aren't many that I would be willing to go in, because of the potential harm to my health. However, there is one place that is generally safe; the closet."

"Ok," MJ says, gently closing the door to Peter's bedroom. "I'm obviously in Peter's bedroom. I've decided I'm going to hide in his closet. Now, I know, this is a stereotypical hide-and-seek hiding place, but I have a plan to make it better. Peter's closet has several levels of shelves in it, and the top one is pretty hard to see in the best situation. Seeing as how Tony is the one looking for me, and he's fairly short, I'll probably be fairly safe if I climb up onto the top shelf. What would make it even better is if I stack some things in front of me. The top shelf of Peter's closet has a bunch of boxes, old blankets, and pillows on it. If I stack those on top of and in front of me, on the top shelf, with the lights off, I'll be virtually invisible."

"This is really not a fair game," Ned sighs, as he walks quickly down a hallway. "I mean, Peter's Spider-Man, and Harley and MJ are both tiny and flexible. I am none of those things."
