The Magical Mishappening

Chapter 3

Peter sits back slightly, after he had sent the message to the unknown stranger. He jumps slightly when he feels Flash's arm hit his back, as he had forgotten the other was there.

Flash sighs and says, "Guess we have to wait now then..."

Um, hello?

"Ah, he responded!" Peter yelps, quickly picking up his phone from where he had placed his phone down previously.

Flash sighs and says, "Well yes, that's what usually happens, Parker."

Peter pouts at the other and he mumbles under his breath, "So now you go back to using my last name..."

Flash rolls his eyes and says, "Just reply, dumbass."

~~~~

Me

Oh wow, you actually replied...

??

Was I not supposed to?

Me

No, you were!

Sorry, that was rude of me

??

It's alright

So, why'd you do this?

Me

Oh, uh

I was dared, but I've always wanted to try this anyway

So it was a good excuse, ya know :)

"You wanted to try it?" Flash questions. "I thought you said you didn't want to, to your friends."

"Uh..." Peter starts. He picks at his shirt's sleeve as he mumbles, "I just didn't want to be different..."

Flash sighs and shakes his head. He pats Peter's shoulder and he says, "You don't need to fit in. You should be proud to stand out."

Peter turns his head to look at Flash and smiles at him. The sound of a notification snaps then out of looking into each others eye's, cause them both to look back at the phone.

Right

So, what is this whole thing about

Me

Woah, are you old?

"Flash, you can't just say that!" Peter exclaims, his voice breaking midsentence, making him sound like a squeaky toy.

Flash rolls his eyes as he says, "What? How could he not know this trend? Even you and your nerdy friends knew."

Peter huffs as he takes his phone from Flash, angrily opening his phone again. Flash realises what he said and looks at Peter guiltily, going to say something, before shaking his head and letting it go.
