Peter Parker's school was hosting a yearly talent show. Nothing strange about that right? WRONG. This year they were holding a family one, and it counted for 50% of their PE grades.

"What are you doing for the talent show?" Peter asked his best friends, Ned and MJ.

"Magic show with Dad. It should be ok." MJ said nonchalantly. She was almost never showed emotion.

"I'm challenging my family to a Rubix Cube challenge." Ned grinned. He could solve a Rubix Cube in under 5 minutes. "How about you, Peter?"

"I don't know yet, May can't come."

The school was abuzz with everyone comparing their ideas for the show. Peter was the only one who didn't have an act.

Peter walked into the Avengers Tower after school that day, and walked straight into Mr Starks private elevator, ignoring the stares of the other interns. 'Honestly.' Peter thought. 'They should be used to me by now.'
Peter went to the Tower almost daily.

Before Peter finished his train of thought, the lift flew up to the top floor, and stopped perfectly in time.

"Good job FRI, only five and a half seconds this time!" Peter smiled.

He walked into the living room, walking past the Avengers, all of which he was very close with.

"Hey Peter, what's up?"
"ребенок паук, how are you?"
"Petey"
"Son of Stark, hello!"

Peter nodded to the relaxed Avengers, and walked into Tony's lab.

"Hey Peter."

"Hey Mr Stark."

"How many times do I have to tell you to call me Tony, kid?"
Peter only shook his head and chuckled.

"Hey Mr Stark, how do you feel about performing in front of my school?"

TIMESKIP because I can

"You ready?" Asked Pepper.

"No." Replied Tony and Peter at the same time.

"And now, please welcome Pepper, Peter and Tony Stark!" Announced the adjudicator.

Peter walked onto the stage, dressed simply in a grey suit.

"I close my eyes and I can see
The world that's waiting up for me
That I call my own
Through the dark, through the door
Through where no one's been before
But it feels like home
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy
We can live in a world that we design
'Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
There's a house we can build
Every room inside is filled
With things from far away
Special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile
On a rainy day
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say we've lost our minds
I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy
Runaway to a world that we design"

He sang so sweetly, everyone was astounded. Nobody had heard him sing before.

Flash, Peter's long-time bully, was shocked beyond belief. His act had been to tell lame jokes while his dad death-stared the audience into laughing.

With this, Peter walked off the stage, and Tony walked on in his place, wearing an exact replica of Peters suit.

"Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make" He sang with a strong voice.

Pepper Potts, his girlfriend and the CEO of Stark Industries, joined Tony on the stage.

"However big, however small
Let me be part of it all
Share your dreams with me
You may be right, you may be wrong
But say that you'll bring me along
To the world you see" Pepper sang sweetly. She was truly multi-talented.

"To the world I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see" Pepper and Tony sang together.

The music climaxed, as the couple beckoned Peter onstage with them.

"Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
A million dreams, a million dreams
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make"

Tony pulled them both into a big hug.
"For the world we're gonna make"

A deafening silence. Then as one, the audience rose and clapped so loud. The family bowed, and smiling their faces off, walked offstage.
