(Peter/Penny is 7yrs old)

"Penny!" May called from the kitchen, where she was drinking a cup of coffee.
"Yeah!"
"Would you like to go to the park today?"
"Yesyesyes, can we go now!? Pleaseplease" May chuckles before replying to the hyper little girl, "yeah, but first you need to get dressed and put your shoes on." May watched as her neice excitedly raced back to her room to get ready. Smiling, May finished her coffee and put her shoes on whilst she waited for Penny to come zooming back out of her room.

Penny brushed her teeth, before hurriedly stuffing her legs into some baggy blue jeans and pulling an oversized red t-shirt over her head. Joy radiated off the small 7 year old as she sprinted towards her shoes, frantically pulling them on.
~
May looked up at the overjoyed girl and her smile fell off her face. "Penny!" May yelled, startling her neice. "What are you wearing?!" Taken aback, Penny paused for a moment before responding "my favorite clothes." Seeing the anger and fear on her aunts face, the girl looked up at May with confusion written all over her. "No, not this again. How many times do I have to tell you Penny? You are not a boy, so you can't wear that. Come here, let's get you changed into something more appropriate." Anger laced her voice, as she stared at Penny with a disapproving look. Penny was aware of the poison in May's words, she has heard it many times. It confused her. Made her feel sad, angry, and other feelings that she couldn't explain. But she didn't know why it affected her so much.

"But whyyy?" Penny whined, "I like wearing this." May turned and gave the small girl the look. Penny noticed and hung her head as she followed May.

When they came back out of the room, aunt May was smiling down at her neice who returned a small, but forced, smile back. May had dressed Penny in a pair of black leggings which had small, pink, fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows on them, and a pink t-shirt with a big smiley face in the middle of it. Penny then went to put on her black trainers, and the pair left the apartment.
~
The car ride to the park was very uneventful as the two stayed in an uncomfortable silence. Penny fiddled with her hands as May drove. After around five minutes, aunt May spoke up again for the first time since they'd left. And before they knew it, they were both joking and smiling again. This relieved Penny as the tense feeling drained away from her, and resulted in her bouncing in her seat from the excitement of going to the park.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

They'd been at the park for about ten minutes and Penny had already found some friends to play with. A group of six boys needed one more person to play they're Avengers game, and who better to play than Penny. Penny took the role of Iron Man, and her and five of the boys were fighting against the evil and mighty Alexander, the sixth boy of the group.
~
The group had been in a long, tough battle when May had come over. Nobody had noticed her come over as they were to busy fighting crime. "Iron Man I need back up!" Max - Captain America -  called for Penny. May saw as her neice was shoved to the ground by the mighty Alexander. Penny then got back up with a smirk. She proceeded to run at Alexander, wrapping her arms around his legs, forcing him to the ground and pinning him. The group started to cheer, when suddenly they stopped and heard: "Penny Rose Parker!" Penny looked up so quickly her neck could've snapped. "What on earth do you think your doing young lady?!" The name always made the 7 year old feel sick to the stomach. Her face turned red through embarrassment as the six boys stared at her awkwardly, not knowing what to do. Before anyone could respond, May grapped Penny's arm and dragged her towards the car.
~
They sat in silence on the car ride home. Through anger, May drove faster than usual. Penny felt anger radiating off her aunt, so she didn't dare look or talk to her. The small girl was on edge and knew better than to fuel a fire that was already burning. She fiddled with her hands violently when she heard her aunt tell her that, "we'll talk about this when we get home".
~
Penny was in full panick when they entered their apartment. Maybe she could quickly escape to her room or stay quiet and hope aunt May forgets that she's there. The anxious girl is pulled out of her thoughts when she feels a hand harshly grip her shoulder, forcing her onto the sofa. 'Shitshitshitfuckfuckfuck. What do I do? Stay calm. Stay fucking calm!' Her thoughts raced, her heart raced. She wasn't particularly fond of being yelled at.

Her aunt stared at her, before taking a deep breath. "How many times do I have to tell you that girls can't play games like that, that you can NOT play games like that? Huh? How many times?"  "But we were just playing Avengers, and fighting cri-" "No!" May yelled, "You, Penny, are my little girl, you are not Iron Man and you aren't fighting crime. Young ladies like you need to be protected, and play with your dolly's and with the other girls!" "But-" Penny could she the volcano seconds away from erupting and knew she'd pushed her luck to far. She looked down, wishing she could've just kept her mouth shut. 'You're so stupid' her thoughts told her. Shaking, the small girl prepared to get screamed at. "You are a girl not a boy, so stop pretending to be one!" May screamed, "why can't you just be like the other girls?!Huh?" Penny is not very emotional, but is very tough. Right at this moment Penny has lost her shit. "Well maybe if you listened to me and let me be happy! And maybe I don't like playing with the girls and stupid dolly's!" Penny screamed back at her aunt (pop off king! You dropped this 👑) "I want trucks not the stupid Barbies you buy me for my birthd-" May was shocked by the outburst, but that didn't stop her from seeing red...

*Slap*

Penny cluched the side of her face. What just happened? Tears pricked in her eyes, threatening to fall. "Just go to your room" May breathed out. Penny did as she was told, and frantically speed-walked to her room.
~
May felt guilty, upset with herself. 'What've you done?' Her thoughts asked her. She hadn't meant to do it. She was so caught up in the moment. Tears welled in her eyes. It was an accident, but May didnt accept that, she knew she had to take responsibility for her actions.May didn't know what to do.
~
Penny sat on her bed, still in shock and trying to wrap her head about what just happened. A few tears fell from her eyes, and trickled down her face. As she thought to herself, she wiped the tears away, she was to shocked to cry or feel upset. She didn't know what to feel, so she just sat there silently. Penny knew that it wasn't her fault, but the girl still wondered what was wrong with her. 'Why aren't I normal?' 'Why do I feel like this?' 'Why do I have to be like the boys and not the girls?' Thoughts clouded her mind. She was confused and didn't know what to do.

A/N: wow...um that was an emotional rollercoaster. You're probably all fuming rn, but that's what I wanted so...I hope you like the first chapter.

I do have a sort of plan for this story, well like 12% of a plan. So hopefully we're all excited for what's to come. Again, any feedback, I'll be happy to hear. This is the first thing I've written and I think it's decent, what're your thoughts on it?

I didn't realise how long these stories actually take, like it's taken me over 2 hours to write this. So if you also write stories, kudos. It's hard work.

I'll try to get the next chapter out ASAP, just please be patient.

One last thing... its my birthday in three days! I'm so excited!

Bye

Don't have a good day, have a great day. (High five if you get the reference)
