Something I can't explain

Chapter 1: Bye, Bye NYC

------SOMETIME IN OCTOBER-------

Peter is just laying on his bed listening to some 70's music. He was listening to one of his uncle Ben's old playlists. Apparently Ben didn't just introduce Peter old movies but old music as well. This time he was listening to "Take me home, Country roads" by John Denver.

All my memories gather round her

Miner's lady, stranger to blue water

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky

Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Peter smiled as a tear almost dropped from his eye.

"Miss ya, Uncle Ben" He let out as well as a tear he had held in. 

His music was interrupted by a phone call. Peter quickly took his earphones out and stood up. He answered the call without hesitating. 

"Hello?"

"Oh, hi, Mister Parker."

Peter let out a sigh as he realized it was Tony who was calling him.

"Hey, Mister Stark. Wh-What can I do for you?" Peter nervously answered him. Tony sensed this and answered him.

"Skip the shakiness Parker. I heard you were going on a trip tomorrow."

Peter was about to answer him but he was cut off by tony.

"It's alright, kid. Just stay out of trouble. And do me a favor, tell your aunt May hi from me."

"Uh ye-yeah, will do sir." Peter said. He heard a knock on his front door. It was probably Ned as he had invited him over. "Listen Mr. Stark I need to go but I'll pass the message on." 

Peter hung up the phone, put it in his pants pocket and headed towards the door. He exited his room and saw that May had already answered the door. Peter smiled at Ned who had just walked in his apartment. He waved him over to his room. 

"Hey Man!" Ned said cheerfully.

"Hey!" Peter answered as the two did their signature handshake.

"So I thought I should make one of those "Americans in Europe" plans.

"Uh, but we're not going to Europe." Peter answered with a confused look.

"We're not? Where's Riverdale anyway?"

"Canada I think."

"Oh," Ned said with a disappointed look, "Why are we going there anyway?" 

Peter thought about it for a while. "Because Midtown is temporarily shut down and also probably because Mr. Harrington chose the cheapest place to travel to." He said with a little chuckle at the end. "You're all packed?" Peter asked Ned.

"Yeah, even brought my suitcase with me, so we're going together tomorrow." 

Peter nodded. Their evening was pretty basic. They started building a Lego that Peter had gotten for his birthday, they ate some pizza, watched an old movie which was supposed to be Ben's favorite. Soon they went to sleep, Peter slept on top bunk and Ned on the bottom.

------NEXT DAY-------

Peter's alarm clock went off. It was 8 am. Peter and Ned groaned as they rolled out of bed. May had made them wheatcakes for breakfast. Even though they were still sleepy they ate swiftly. 

"You ready, boys?" May asked them whilst putting on her coat. Peter and Ned nodded and headed towards May's car. "Got your passport?" May asked them.
