The Tragedy of Mary Jane Stark

After Party

"I'm like Mj's best friend. I mean we spent last Christmas with each other." Betty was sitting on the couch talking to Gwen.

Peter and Miles moved the couch back into the living room for their party.

"Oh wow I didn't know you guys were so close." Gwen said. "Now your dating that Brad kid right?"

"No not anymore. He's an asshole." Betty groaned. "I was with Ned for a little bit but now I'm with John Jameson."

"You were with Ned? Like Ned Leeds?" Gwen asked.

"Yeah he was a good boyfriend." Betty said without changing a shade.

Gwen's smile twitched.

"Excuse me." Gwen got up and took her drink to the balcony.

Mj was shot gunning a beer when Peter tapped on her shoulder.

"What's up?" Mj wiped her mouth.

"I think Gwen is upset." Peter whispered.

"Why what happened?"

"Her and Betty were talking about Ned." Peter said.

"Okay I'll go talk to her." Mj handed him the empty can and made her way through the apartment.

Harry stood between her and the door.

"Mary Jane I just have to say what a beautiful apartment you have. I mean it's so cozy. But bigger than Michelle's. Would it be weird if Michelle and I moved into this building? I mean it's safe and small! It's perfect!" Harry drunkenly screamed.

"Right well you should probably talk to Peter about that. Cause I don't care what you do, he's your friend." Mj tried to push past him.

"Your welcome with red and black suit by the way. Peter tried half of my closet on yesterday. I know it's a bit tight but hey so is your dress. It's cute. A very Mj wedding dress." Harry's breath stunk.

"Okay go talk to Pete please. I gotta go outside." Mj started to walk around him but she tripped on her dress. Harry caught her.

"Woah there. And Michelle said I had to much to drink." He was holding her up by her bicep and waist.

"Hey Mj are you okay?" Peter was by her side again in seconds.

"I'm fine. I don't know why I wore these heals, we are inside." She giggled. Peters ears were red again as he stared at Harry's hand placement. "Now excuse me I want to talk to Gwen."

"Oh right go ahead." Harry uncomfortable scratched the back of his neck after he let Mj go. Peter cleared his throat and made his way to grab another glass of burden.

"Stop you're too funny!" Mj hears Gwen giggle.

Miles was with her talking on the balcony.

"Oh hey Mj!" Miles said happily.

"Hey. Sorry I was just coming to see if you were alright Gwen. You seemed upset." Mj said.

"Well I was but Miles is making me laugh. My dad is his dads captain." Gwen explained.

"Oh that's so cool. I didn't even think about that I guess they would work together." Mj smiled.

"I can't believe you don't remember me. I've gone to every office Christmas party. Our dads made us hang out like 6 years ago. Cause we were only a year and a half apart in age." Miles whined.

"I'm really sorry I don't remember you." Gwen said sincerely. "I wish I had you're really fun."

"Wair a year and a half? Miles I thought you were 15?" Mj asked.
