Sixteen.

Poet had a tight hold of Peters hand as they walk through 'Newark Luverty International Airport'. She smiled as she felt his stare on her. However, Betty and Ned suddenly approach.

"You gues are so cute." Betty says with a smile.

"Thanks." Poet replied.

"Uh... I was thinking we should all... I don't know, like go on a double date or something." Peter suggested.

"Oh, we broke up." Ned told then.

"No. Wh-what? Why?"

"Men and women grow apart, but the journey they share together will always be a part of them." Betty places her right hand on Ned's left cheek.

"You are so wise." She said.

"Thank you." Betty walks off, and both Peter and Poet stood looking at Ned.

"Just so you know..." Poet started. "...I'm gonna annoy the crap out of you with this." She smirked. "Like you did with Betty, every single sentence will end in 'babe' or 'baby', and you're so gonna hate me."

"I accept my punishment." Ned smiled.

The two exit the airport, and Peter spots Aunt May arguing with a security guard.

"May!" He called.

"Oh, he's here! Don't give me a ticket." She said, before heading towards the two. May hugs him. "So glad you're okay."

"No. For real, I'm good. I'm actually really... fine."

"Let's go. Where are your bags? Oh, right. They got blown up."

"Yeah, but wait." May stopped what she was doing. "Poet, this is May. May, this is Poet. She's my... she's my girlfriend." Poet stuck her hand out nervously.

"It's nice to finally meet you." May looked down at her hand, before shaking her head.

"This will not do." She said, batting her hand away, and pulling her into an unexpected hug. "We hug in this family."

"I'm totally okay with that." Poet smiled.

"Hey, Wonder Boy." Poet whispered, moving his hair from his face. "You awake?"

"No." She breathed a laugh.

"Get up, we're gonna be late for school." Poet made to exit the bed, but Peter pulled her back down, snuggling up to her.

"Five minutes."

"Okay. Okay, fine. But you owe me for this."

"I'm not kissing you upside-down."

"It's gonna happen."
