"Who took the Bomp from the Bompalompalomp? Who took the Ram from the Ramalamadingdong?" Gwen sang, dancing around her room as she prepared herself for homecoming

"Who took the Bomp from the Bompalompalomp? Who took the Ram from the Ramalamadingdong?" Gwen sang, dancing around her room as she prepared herself for homecoming. She loved music like this, it was usually what they played in band practice and tonight, they'd finally landed a gig. Well, sort of. The Emmjays managed to steal the stage for one song, a perfect opportunity to kick of their musical side-job.

After a lot of deciding, she'd convinced the group to play Spider-Webs by no doubt, it was reasonable considering the spider duo had saved some of their classmates. Gwen also thought it symbolised how hard it was being a vigilante and hoped it would cheer Peter up.

Slowly, she added the finishing touches to her eyeliner and purses her lips to place some lipgloss. Finally, she was ready. However, she'd never felt so ill prepared. She was going to preform in front of her whole school year, no doubt Any would get nervous too, so she'd have to do the intro. Instead of wallowing in worry, she picked up a tote bag and packed her drumsticks, soon realising that the song she'd chose to play was a little ironic. So, she quickly grabbed her suit and stuffed it into the bottom of her bag, it was going in her locker soon anyways.

"Gwen." Her mother called from the living room. "Come on, we need to take pictures." She forced the teen to scowl, it was likely this picture would turn into a lock screen or get framed. At least she was wearing a dress she enjoyed.

The homecoming theme was 80s, however, no one was going to fully commit to the theme so Gwen also took a minimalistic approach. She wore a short evergreen dress that had short shoulder straps and a corset hem at the back, it also possessed a bombardment of green flowers on the torso and flowed out after her waist. To top it off, she wore her turquoise converse, she couldn't exactly drum very well in heels, and if anyone realised they were identical to the converse she wore in her spidey suit, then she'd make an excuse.

"I'm coming." She replied and made her way towards the door, dropping her bag onto the back of a chair.

"I want everyone in, okay?" Helen declared and set the camera on timer. Resulting in a combined panic to get prepared in time for the flash.

"Cheese." George smiled, the younger siblings giggling at his cliche dad moment.

Soon enough, the flash went off and Helen checked her phone. "Okay, Gwen by herself." She then instructed and the family scattered out of the way. The blonde flashes a smile and felt her face go numb while awaiting Helen to click the button, until eventually she did. "You're growing up so fast." She smiled at the screen.

"Thank you?" She replied in a questioning tone.

"Good luck with the band by the way, you'll do great." The woman assured and George Stacy guided Gwen out of the house after she'd collected her bag. Tonight was her night to act like an actual teenager, of course, bringing her suit contradicted that fact, but it still remained.
