The Life of Peter Parker

The one with Edith

[After ffh|End credit scene doesn't exist here]

"Now for the last 5 minutes I will give you an assignment. After yet another horrific attack happened with Quentin Beck also known as Mysterio, we teachers have decided to once again strengthen the bond of our students. We want you to bring one thing to school tomorrow that is important to you. A thing that brings out a vulnerable side to you, so you can share it with your classmates as to bond on our weakness. I'll give you the last few minutes to think about it. Also, you'll have to explain why exactly you chose that object", Mrs Wardwell said.

The students groaned. Everybody had enough of this stupid bonding things but the teachers loved them. They've had a few of these the last couple of months and whenever somebody refused to, they would hire a therapist because they thought the kid was damaged. So everybody always did as told.

"What are you guys bringing", Ned asked his two best friends. "I have an idea but I'm not quite sure if I really want to share this with the whole class...", MJ said. "Oh. What's it babe?", Peter smiled at his girlfriend. "Babe, really? Can't say I hate it but I'm not gonna tell you what, Babe", MJ laughed out, putting an emphasis on the word babe. Don't get her wrong, things between her and Peter couldn't possibly be any better but she's still not used to all the nicknames and stuff.

"I'm thinking of bringing that one hawaiian shirt my grandpa gave me before he passed in those 5 years", Ned muttered. Peter and MJ knew how much it hurt him so they tried their best to encourage him. "That's a great idea, man", Peter said while patting him on the back. "Yeah that's a really good idea", MJ said softly.

"So, Peter? Do you have anything in mind or do we need to help you find something", MJ asked him. "Well I can't really bring my suit so... I don't know I'll figure something out but you don't have to help me", he replied in thought.

When Peter got home he hurriedly searched for something, anything. He couldn't really come up with something because he didn't really have anything. After the Blip he concentrated more on the people in his life, afraid that he lost more.

He thought to himself: "I am never gonna find anything... Let's see: My suit? Obviously a no. Ooh the hello kitty pajamas from Mr Stark? Ok wait I can't tell the story without revealing myself. Ugghh why is this so hard. Ooh the picture of Ned, MJ, May and me from christmas- wait, no the teacher said no pictures..."

And then suddenly it clicked. "Edith", he happily beamed. He thought of something to say and then went out as Spiderman.

____the next day___

"Morning Spiderman", May gently woke him since he apperently slept through his alarm. "Been out crime fighting again, huh?". "mhm.. oh shit, school", Peter groaned. "Yeah, better get dressed my little superhero", May smiled and left his room.

He packed everything for today, careful not to break Edith, and left his room. He arrived at school and saw all of the students carrying their special stuff. Everyone had something different. It ranged from stuffed animals to plastic flowers and shirts to shoes. Everything.

When he sat down next to MJ he gave her a little peck on the cheek and even though they've been dating a few months now she still turned a tiny bit red. "Morning, how are you?", MJ asked. It was their morning routine. Peck on the cheek and checking up on each other. "Bit tired but overall okay, you?". "Been out being a hero again, have you? And I'm good thanks", MJ smirked at the first part. "Haha yeah well...", Peter brushed it off. He didn't like being called a hero. It reminded him of the trick Mysterio played on him. Being told that Tony would still be alive if he was better... That hurt deep.
