It's been a few days since Peter has told Rosemary that he was Spider-Man and she hasn't looked at him the same since. She had started to get used to it all while she also enjoyed watching him jump out the window as he swung from building to building.

Nathan had also begun to not hide things from her anymore. He would scare her from time to time as he would stick onto her bedroom walls unexpectedly or just web her when they would fight.

"You know, it's so unfair that you have powers and I don't...like, does it only happen to you because you're a boy? Because that would be really fucking unfair." Rosemary sighed, staring up at Nathan. "I don't want that book, I want the one next to it."

Nathan jumped down from the book shelf, landing in front of Rose as he handed her the book. Rosemary smiled at him. "Muchas gracias, hermanito."

He frowned. "What did you just call me? You know I hate when you talk to me in spanish because I don't understand what you're saying!"

Rosemary laughed, walking off as MJ walked past her. "Your Dad and I are leaving but we'll be back in a few hours."

Peter walked in behind her. "We're trusting you both to be left alone but Carla will be checking on you guys from time to time, okay?"

"Can we know where you guys are going?"

Peter turned around to make sure MJ wasn't around before turning around to face Rosemary again. "I'm taking her to go skydiving."

Rosemary's eyes widened. "You're doing what?! You know she's deadly afraid of heights!"

Peter placed a finger on his lips to get her to quiet down. "I know it's a surprise...but I kind of wanted to do this for a very long time. Skydiving is her number one fear but I want her to not be scared of it anymore."

"She's going to be screaming the whole way down." Rosemary laughed. "Good luck, I wouldn't want to see her face when she finds out where you've taken her."

"Peter, can we head out now?" MJ said, coming up behind him. "You two better be good, okay? I don't want to get home with this place a mess. There's food that you can reheat but you could always order pizza."

Peter nodded. "Just try not to kill each other while we're gone...please. Like I said, Carla is next door if you need her or just call us and we'll be home soon."

"Got it." Rosemary smiled. "You guys have fun and we'll see you later."

-----------------------

"Taking off my cap, I bowed my head. In a choking voice, I said, "Goodbye, Old Dan and Little Ann. I'll never forget you; and this I know-if God made room in heaven for all good dogs, I know He made a special place for you."

With a heavy heart, I turned and walked away. I knew that as long as I lived I'd never forget the two little graves and the sacred red fern.

Not far from our home, the road wounds its way up and over a hill. At the top Papa stopped the team. We all stood up and looked back. It was a beautiful sight, one I'd never forget."

Rosemary closed the book as she looked down at Nathan who stared back at her. "Did the dogs really have to die?"

"Well, you have to remember that the dogs stepped in to save Billy from the mountain lion. If it weren't for Old Dan...Billy would've been killed. Little Ann lost her will to live because Old Dan wasn't with her anymore...so, she died too."

Nathan looked down. "So, it's like Romeo and Juliet?"

Rosemary shrugged. "Uh, sure. Do you want another slice of pizza?"

Nathan shook his head. "Do you ever think of who would actually die for you if it ever came to the chance? I've heard people say many times that they would, but I sometimes don't think they would, what do you think?"

Rosemary thought for a minute. "I hadn't really thought about it. Maybe if you really love that person, you would do whatever it takes to make sure they wouldn't get harmed even if that means risking your own life. I don't know, I don't think anyone would actually do that for me-"

"I would...even if I do hate you at times."

Rosemary smiled down at him, ruffling his hair. "I would die for you too, Nate. Let's not talk about this anymore...how about we go watch the movie?"

"You're saying there's a movie of this book and you just decided to just read it to me? We wasted all this time reading?" Nathan groaned.
