The parents day

After the last one which was kinda depressing, I really liked it but it wasn't what I would call funny and happy. So this one's a little happier.
Fyi: Peter still lives with Aunt May and he is Spiderman. I think it could take place after homecoming but the avengers are still friends and didn't fight. So Civil war basically never happened.
I'm the author I can do that!
But anyways, have fun😊😘

Peter stood in front of his school. He looked up at the big white building and sighed. He would much rather be on patrol right now. Crime doesn't know timetables. But he had no choice. After May found out he was Spiderman the only condition under which he could continue his 'Spiderman-thingy' how May called it, was that he never missed school because of it and that his grades couldn't go down or else she wouldn't allow it anymore. So, here he went.

He walked into the school and met his best friend Ned at his locker.
"Hey, Pete."

"Hey, Ned. How was your weekend?"

They did their handshake while Ned laughed.
"Very funny, Pete. We saw each other everyday of the weekend. The whole day."

"Yeah. We have Mr. Harrington now, right?"

"Yes, he said he had something to announce when I last saw him."

"I hope its not a field trip to Stark Industries. That would get complicated.", Peter joked.

"Yeah, right. Cause Mr. Harrington could manage to get us a field trip to SI.", Ned laughed.

Peter sat on his chair and thought about a new web-fluid formular, when Mr. Harrington came in.
"Hello, students. Sorry that I'm late. My cat tried to eat my goldfish. He has only one fin now.", the class laughed, "Anyway, I have an announcement to make. In three weeks it's parents day. So everybody bring one of their parents and they present their job to us. Please tell your parents soon enough so they can actually plan it and don't have any appointments on that day."

Peter sank into his chair. He knew that May would most likely have to work. She almost never got a whole day off and even if she took the night shift she'd have to sleep the day before and after.
So Peter would be alone again on parents day. Stupid name anyways. Not all kids have parents!

After school Peter asked Ned if he could come home with him but his friend had a dentist appointment. They did their handshake again and Peter thought about what he should do now. He pulled out his phone and dialed Mays number.

"Yes, honey?"

"Hey, May. Sorry to bother you. I just wanted to ask if you are free today in three weeks? It's parents day."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, honey. George planned me for the next five weeks I really can't let him down now."

"No, that's okay. I'll be fine. Love you, May."

"Love you too, honey."

She hung up. A tiny tear rolled down his cheek and he quickly wiped it off. Now he stood there not knowing what to do.
May wasn't home and he didn't want to be alone. He took his phone and dialed a well known number. Someone picked up.

"Yes?"

"Mr. Stark?"

"Hey, Kid. What's up?"

"Can I come over?"

"Sure. Should I send Happy?"

"No, thank you Mr. Stark. I think I'm faster on my own."

"As you wish, Kid. See you soon."

"Bye."
Peter hung up the phone and went to a little alley to change into his Spiderman suit. After he had changed he swung up to the roof of a building and searched for the avengers tower. Soon he found the large building that reached far up into the sky and swung his way to it.

After ten minutes he landed on the giant balcony and knocked on the glass door.

"Hey, Peter.", Natasha greeted him when she opened the door, "You wanna eat with us?"

"I'd love to. Thank you Ms. Romanoff."

He took of his mask and sat between Steve and Clint at the large table. Every avenger was here. Well, almost everyone.
"Where's Mr. Stark?", Peter asked while filling his plate with pasta.

"He said he would come after he finished his project. Friday told us you were coming.", Clint explained with a full mouth.

The avengers ate and talked for a while and Peter almost forgot about parents day. Then the lift doors opened and a sweaty Tony Stark came out.
"Sorry, guys. This couldn't wait. Hey, Pete.", he greeted and got himself a plate full of pasta, "So, Peter how was your day?"

"Boring. In physics we talked about Dr. Banners second book about grammar radiation. I already read it three times so I didn't learn anything new. In algebra we learned something about stochastic but I didn't listen 'cause I learned it last summer in math camp. And we-.", he stopped abruptly.

"What's wrong, Peter?", Steve asked.

"Nothing.", Peter said quickly and sipped on his lemonade.

"Come on, Kid. We talked about this.", Mr. Stark said, "Tell us what's wrong."

Peter swallowed.
"Well, my teacher made an announcement today... in three weeks is parents day."

"So?", Sam asked but Natascha slapped him on the back of his head, "What?!"

"He doesn't have parents, you idiot.", Natasha hissed.

"It's alright, Ms. Romanoff.", Peter said.

"I still don't get the problem.", Mr. Stark intervened, "Can't Aunt May go with you?"

Peter sighed.
"No, she has to work."

"So you're gonna be alone because your aunt has to work where's the big deal, Kid?", Sam asked and Natasha slapped him again, "What?!"

"Well, the problem is, parents day is every year and for the past five years I've always been alone 'cause my aunt and uncle had to work. Last year it was the anniversary of... of uncle Ben's death so May wanted to visit his grave and this year she has to work AGAIN and I'm gonna be alone AGAIN and everybody is gonna look at me with pity AGAIN, just like you all do right now.", he didn't notice that his voice got loud and he looked to the floor, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get loud."

"It's alright, Kiddo.", Mr. Stark said and stood up, "Come on. I know something to cheer you up."

Peter followed him and waved at the others.

Mr. Stark let him work on his new Iron Man suit the whole day, while they ate donuts. And not until it was already dark, Peter agreed to heading home but this time Tony insisted on Happy driving him.

At the end of the day Peter wasn't that sad anymore because of parents day and he went to bed with a slight smile because he helped Iron Man with his suit.
