                 "Edgar Allen Poe was just creepy though. "

Peter and M.J. were in the middle of a heated debate while you and Ned just tried to make it out alive.

"Sure but his writing makes up for it"

M.J. had looked to you as a way to end their fight but you put your hands up in surrender, "Don't bring me into this, I thought the dude was nuts. Didn't he try to marry his cousin? "

Peter's face falters at this as he can't think of a rebuttal, M.J. smirks at this but continues anyways.

"He successfully married her, not to mention she was thirteen at the time and he was twenty-seven. "

Both you and Ned make faces at this before he goes back to his Star Wars magazine and you to poking your lunch.

This somehow doesn't break Peter's spirit, "That's messed up but he's considered one of the central figures of Romanticism. And have you read The raven? It's one of the best poems to ever exist. "

You laugh as Ned finally has enough and walks away to find Betty. Figuring there's no harm in it, you decide to join the debate.

"Stephen King is more romantic than Poe. The raven is one of the most boring poems ever, he just loses his shit and calls it a day. Romeo and Juliet are more romantic than Edgar Allan Poe. "

M.J. smiles at this as she places the back of her hand on her forehead, "Romeo O' Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo! "

Sticking out your chest you laugh as you begin to recite Romeo's lines, "Shall I hear more or shall I speak to this? "

At this point, Peter has an unamused look on his face seeing as the two of you have recited these lines multiple times before.

"Tis but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Romeo, doff thy name, and for that name which is no part of thee take all myself."

With this M.J. dramatically falls into your lap as she pretends to faint. Still not able to keep a straight face, you take a second before continuing your performance to laugh.

"I take thee at thy word. Call me but love, and I'll be newly baptized; Henceforth I never will be Romeo."

M.J. lifts her head while chuckling and the two of you share a kiss. It doesn't last long as it is rudely disrupted by a carrot hitting your face.

You break the kiss to see Peter looking disgusted as he lets out a few fake gags, "That's gross, I get you're in love and everything but goes do it somewhere else. "

Standing up you grab your tray with one hand and offer the other hand to M.J., "I say we leave this peasant and go do something else. Will you join me, my pearl? "

M.J. smiles as she grabs your hand and gets up, "Of course, darcy. "

With that the two of you walk off hand in hand leaving Peter to stew in his singleness.
