Tom Holland/Peter Parker Imagines

Peter Parker- New memories

A/N: As of today's date (17/01/2022), I have not seen Spider-Man: No Way Home, but in saying that, I have seen a few scenes and this is my "alternate" ending.

PETER
It had been a year since the fight of my life. Everything was back to normal, if you don't count the fact that everyone who I've ever known doesn't know me anymore, which is hard, considering one of them was my girlfriend. After a few close calls and a near-death experienced by May, I was happy.

"Peter, don't forget that Graduation is next week!" May shouted from the kitchen as I scurried around to collect my school-bag. I was graduating next week.

May nearly died in my arms, but I managed to get her help just in time. Her memories of me were erased, but since she's my only family, Dr Strange managed to bring her memories back.

"I could never forget!" I yelled, finally getting out the front door.

After the day was done, I watched as MJ walked out of the school in her work uniform with her phone up to her ear, heading to Queen's Diner, one of the best and only diners in New York.

I walked past that diner every day, at the same time, not a second earlier or later. After MJ's memories were erased, I stayed away from her, as seeing her live a life that didn't involve me was too difficult. To me, MJ was my girlfriend, the love of my life, my soulmate. To her, I was now just a stranger, someone who gives her an order at the end of a long day.

Walking past the big window that separated the outside from the inside, I looked at MJ, her hair tucked messily behind her ear as she writes down the order of the older gentleman in front of her, the same gentleman that enters the diner just as I walk by. As I watched her take the order, I made the best decision in my life. I walked back to the door and opened it, the bell signalling to every worker that I was there. I hadn't ever seen MJ like this, but I kinda liked it.

"Hi. Welcome to Queen's Diner. What can I get you?" MJ asked as she held her notepad and pen.

"I'll have a Strawberry Milkshake with one and a half teaspoons of sprinkles and a drizzle of chocolate fudge." I spoke, MJ's face dropping slightly.

"Nice choice." She smiled again.

"It's my favourite." I mentioned.

"R-Really? T-That's my favourite too. Not many people order that kind of drink around here." MJ noted, her face lighting up.

"Well, only people with sweet-tooth's can handle it." I laughed, MJ smiling more.

"Coming right up." She quickly headed to the back, handing the docket to the barista.

Coming back 3 minutes later, she handed me the milkshake, her smile bright as her hand briefly touched mine.

Before she could leave, I stopped her.

"Do you go to Midtown High?" I asked, her face dropping.

"Yeah? I'm graduating next week. Why?" She turned around her hands resting on the bench.

"I'm graduating there too! I'm Peter Parker by the way." I brought it up, her face lighting up.

"Cool! Well, I'm Michelle Jones, but many people call me-" I smiled.

"-MJ." MJ and I spoke at the same time.

"H-How did you know that?" She was concerned.

"Just a guess." I laughed.

"Hey, before you go, can I take you out sometime? Maybe on a date?" I asked, smiling.

"Sure, Peter Parker." MJ handed me a piece of paper with her name and number on it.

I left the diner feeling happy that I finally had a chance to create new memories with MJ.

At around 6 pm, I texted her.

Me: Hey MJ, it's Peter. Do you wanna go out tomorrow night at 8 pm?

MJ: Sure. I'll let my boss know.

Me: I'll pick you up at 7:50 pm.

MJ: Sounds good. See you then.
