WHEN ALEX ARRIVED AT THE STACY RESIDENCE, SHE WAS A TAD nervous about having dinner with Gwen's parents. George Stacy was a well-respected Police captain in Queens. She smoothed out her dress and looked down at her black boots that matched.
She knocked on the door and waited a few seconds before it flew open, she was greeted by a boy who looked identical to Gwen. He had the same blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, "Hey, I'm Alex. I'm Gwen's friend." He smiled before opening the door wider.
"Right, I'm Howard. Come in," When Alex walked into their house, she was met with a beautiful home. It felt warm and homey. The room was bright and lit by the candles on the table.
"Ah, you must be Alex. Gwen's told me a lot about you." Gwen Stacy made his way over to her-his hand held out for her to shake. Alex let her hand fall into his.
George Stacy firmly shook her hand, "I am. It's nice to meet you, Mr. Stacy. You have a lovely home." Alex complimented. He smiled and led her to the dining room. His wife--Helen Stacy, was busy prepping the table.
"Welcome, Alex, Please have a seat. Gwen should be out in a moment." As Alex waited patiently, she looked up to see Gwen and Peter coming down the hall. She raised her eyebrows at the both of them.
"Sorry. Peter thought it would be a grand Idea to take the fire escapes up when he could have used the door." Gwen rolled her eyes in annoyance before setting her sights on Alex.
"Hey! You made it. I'm so glad you came." Gwen and Alex hugged before Gwen took a seat next to her mother while Peter awkwardly made his way into the dining room with a smile.
"G-Good evening," Peter sat across the table from Alex. When he saw her in her dress, his eyes nearly popped out of his head. She looked beautiful, her hair was done up nicely, and she wore bright red lipstick.
Gwen's mom smiles politely at him. "Hello, hon, you must be Peter. Welcome." George Stacy sat at the head of the table and looked at Peter skeptically.
"Hello, sir. I'm Peter. It's nice to meet you."
"It good to me you. Please, don't be so nervous." Alex looked at Peter's attire; he wore some faded blue genes and a polo shirt, and he looked sweaty and disheveled.
The sound of plates and silverware could be heard throughout the room. Alex and Gwen began to dig into their food; when Alex looked up, she watched Peter he was struggling with the head of his fish.
"Having trouble, there?" Mr. Stacy asked, "The head goes on the other...Howard, help Gwens' friend with his fish." Peter cleared his throat as he let Gwen's brother help him.
Mr. Stacy set down his silverware before looking at Alex. "So Alex, Gwen tells me you work at Oscorp Industries? How do you like it?" Alex wiped her mouth before directing her attention to him.
