Second video and new friendship. s?
The second peter went home he saw the response he got from the video and couldn't wait to make the next one and started writing up ideas to figure out what to make.
After some time of toying around with ideas peter got a rough draft but he needed to do some research to actually make it into a reality.
The next day started with peter having a very good morning with plenty of breakfast to offset his growing hunger "Thank you for the larger portions aunt may" the inner peter couldn't help but exclaim as he ate the extra servings.
"Oh don't be peter, I know your a growing boy and need it" Aunt May says as peter nods and continues eating. A few minutes later uncle ben comes down for breakfast and asks peter "What happened to the video we shot peter?" that question made him feel like an asshole for not showing it to his family first.
I got embarassed and pushed peter to talk and he told them "I uploaded it yesterday and it's already super famous, I'll show you and aunt may once I am back from school" the nervous tone in which peter spoke made uncle ben laugh.
"Don't sweat it kiddo we'll watch it together then" after hearing uncle bens response it made me feel less like an asshole but still an asshole.
I went to school quickly and reached my locker while I could feel eyes and whispers all around me, pointing, gossiping and all that.
My locker neighbour seems to be looking at me confused before she asks me as she opens her phone and shows me my video "Is this you?" my eyes widen after that as I observe all the stares and what's in their hands.
Holy shit did all of midtown watch the video yesterday, his moment of reflection is interrupted by the locker girl "It is you, oh my god can i see the device you made?" peter looks at her shining eyes and thinks 'as far as I remember this girl has been my locker neighbour for 2 years but she never looked at me once and today all of a sudden she noticed' this moment made peter want to yell MOM IAM FAMOUS.
Peter told her that he'll look into it and left it that without any flashy appearance from flash, that means he either backed off or he is waiting for a moment to pounce.
As peter continued the day, The stares he tried to ignore seem to be increasing as more people spread the word about the video.
At the end of the day peter ignored all the people and ran straight to the cafe from yesterday where ned was waiting for them at the same place as yesterday.
Peter sat down in front of ned and a waiter came and warned them "Kids i know your young and all but if you fight again I'll ban ya" while ned looked like he sucked on a lemon as he cringed from yesterdays spat between them peter answered "don't worry we'll keep it civil.." peter looked at the waiters name as he said "..frank" the waiter retreated after saying "You better" and taking their order.
Ned didn't know how to start a conversation and neither did peter but the awkward silence was too much for peter so he said "So where do you go to school?" ned also released a sigh of relief before saying "I study at midtown high" peter felt shocked as he yelled excitedly "NO WAY ME TOO" peter noticed the surrounding people staring and quietly said "sorry" to everyone before he continued his conversation.
Ned said "how come we never met if we are in the same school?" peter though for a while before he asked "where do you usually sit?" as ned was going to answer peter also answered his own question and they
both ended up saying "Second to last bench" they both widened their eyes before they both said at the same time again "on the left" "on the right" and that solved their mystery of why they never met.
The things they ordered arrived and they talked about all the things they liked from their favourite bands which they had a lot common taste in to favourite movies but the same as the last time they inevitably turn opposite when talking about movies.
"I am telling you ned ben 10,000 has more than 10,000 aliens they just choose the name because it is simpler than calling him ben 1,000,904" ned looked like a drug boss as he took a sophisticated sip from his coffee before he replied to peters WRONG assumptions.
"Well I don't think so home boy ben 10,000 is called ben 10,000 because he had access to 10,000 aliens out of the 1,000,904 species the watch contains, that's all there is to it." neds argument has a point but peter still refuses to listen.
"Yeah sure I'll agree to it then but you gotta admit that ben 10,000 from the ultimate force was the worst ben 10,000 upgrade ever." peter can do nothing but agree to neds argument.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE WAS THE WORST HE WAS THE BEST." ned once again yelled at peters insolence but peter was quick to cut back "I GIVE YOU AN INCH AND YOU TRY TO TAKE A MILE, HOW THE HELL WAS HE THE BEST? HE HAD THE LAZIEST DESIGN OF THEM ALL" their incescent yelling pissed off the waiter who immediately came back to their position as he yelled.
"That's it get out of here kids." but as he was about to drag us out by our collars just like yesterday the door of the cafe was opened by someone wearing a black mask holding a gun as he yells "GET ON THE GROUND THIS IS A ROBBERY" all I had in my mind at that moment was 'why the fuck do all superheroes have to conveniently come across criminals and shit?'.
