The next day Peter's alarm went off and he smacked the snooze button, but he used a little too much force and the whole thing shattered into pieces on the floor. Peter groaned, that was the third one this month. He shrugged it off got up and headed for the bathroom, got cleaned up and headed down stairs where Aunt May already had a stack of wheat cakes waiting for him. It didn't take him long to finish the entire plate. He put his plate in the sink and headed for the door

"I'm going to the park to meet the team!"

"Make sure you're back before dinner! I'm making meatloaf!"

"I will!" and he left

...

Peter entered and scanned the area for any sign of his friends. Today is one of those days Nick let's certain teams take a day off and today is the Web-Warriors' day.

Peter saw no sign of any of his teammates, he'd guessed they'd haven't arrived yet and decided to walk around the park while waiting for them to show up. While walking he watched the kids at the playground playing and laughing, smiling at how happy they all look. He turned his attention to a pair of twin boys playing with laser guns running around zapping each other, huge smiles on their faces. He started feeling a bit sad all of a sudden, but he wasn't sure why. They were just a normal pair of twins having fun together. Why did watching them make him feel so lonely. And this wasn't the first time he felt this way. This had happened more than once every time he was around siblings and every time he felt..empty like there was something missing in his life. Like there was a piece of him that was missing but he just couldn't figure out what it was..

"Peter...Peter...Hey Punk!"

Peter snapped out of his thoughts and turned around to see Ben standing behind him and he blushed a bit not realizing he was there trying to get his attention.

"Heh sorry Ben guess my mind went blank for a moment."

I turned to look behind him hoping to see the rest of the team but the only other one there was MJ. I smiled and walked over to her pulling her into my arms and gave her a quick kiss.

"Where are the others?"

"They'll be here in a bit."

MJ moved over a bit so she was standing by my side with one arm still around my waist while the other held the one I had around over her shoulder.

"Why don't we just sit down over there and wait for them."

Ben pointed over to the bench closest to the playground, but MJ on the other hand pulled me over to swings where there were two seats left. She sat down on one and I began to push her while the three of us started talking. It didn't take long for the rest of the team to show up, Gwen was first along with Harry and just like me and MJ Harry started pushing on the swings. She was feeling a lot better considering the hit she took during the battle yesterday. Flash had showed up next, then Miles, Amadeus was the last to show up. We were all standing around the swings while the girls still sat in there spot just chatting away.

Then Ben noticed one little girl with two ponytails sitting on one of the swings having a really tough time pushing herself. She was kicking her feet rapidly but neither her or the swing moved. Ben laughed a little moved over so he was standing behind her, he grabbed both chains and pulled back a little he let go and the little girl went flying laughing loudly. He continued doing so while we all watched laughing a little bit surprised at how good he with her. I glanced over to see a woman who I guessed is her mother smile and mouth a thank you, I gave her a thumbs up in return and we all with back to our conversation. Ben continued pushing the little girl til she said she was done and he stopped the swing then helped her off picking her up and setting her on the ground she thanked him and headed for the slides.

While we continued talking another little kid a dark haired boy was trying to sneak up behind me, I played along acting like I hadn't noticed him. Until he went and kicked me right in the leg!

"Hey!"

It didn't hurt of course but it was definitely unexpected, everyone agreed as we all stared at the kid and all he did was laugh. This kid was laughing because he kicked someone. Harry bent down in front of the kid

"That's not very nice you know."

And the kid spit in his face! Harry shot up he was close enough to the kid where the spit got in his eyes.

"Alright kid you need to knock it off."

"You can't go around kicking and spitting on people." Flash and Miles glared at him in return the kid kicked both them.

This was getting annoying and we realized the kid was only doing this just to get attention so we all turned away and decided to ignore him. The kid continued kicking me and I just shrugged it off shooing him away. Clearly he didn't like being ignored so he started yelling and a few people turned to stare but neither of us made a move not even when the kid screamed.

"I WANNA SWING!!" Ben pointed over to the four empty swings behind him

The kid's face scrunched up and pointed at MJ

"NO! I WANT THAT SWING!"

"Well I'm sorry but my friend is using it right now."

I didn't even bother turning around when he spoke the words

"I DON'T CARE! I WANT IT!"

Man this kid is a real brat!

I internally screamed trying my best to him as the kid continued kicking. One lady on a bench just shook her head as everyone in the park watched this kid throw a tantrum and kicking people.

It didn't take any longer until Flash finally had enough

"That's it! I've had it with you! You little brat! Knock it off and get lost!"

"I WANT TO SWING!"

"There are four empty swings right there."

"NO I WANT THAT SWING!"

"Well too bad cause you can't have it."

"YES I CAN! TELL HER TO GET OFF!"

"Newsflash brat. You don't own the park."

"I'LL TELL MY DAD!"

"Go ahead. He don't own the park either what's he gonna do?"

"I'LL TELL HIM YOU HIT ME!"

"Pfft. Of course you'd lie about that when you're the one kicking and spitting on people for no reason."

"I WANT THE SWING!"

"You can't have it."

"DAD!!!"

And the kid ran off I gave Flash a high five while a few people applauded him. But that victory didn't last long cause a few minutes later the came walking back over with his dad next to him. I turned around and stood tall preparing myself for what was about to happen..but nothing prepared me for this.

The Dad shoved his kid forward and glared at him

"Say it."

But the kid crossed his arms and kept quiet..

"NOW!" he shouted

The whispered something I couldn't understand and his dad shouted again

"Jack!"

So that was his name, Jack turned away and repeated what he said this time loud enough for us to hear.

"I'm sorry.."

"For..." his dad trailed

"For kicking you.."

"And.."

"..and spitting on you.."

"Keep going.."

"...and for lying about you hitting me..."

"..."

"...and for being rude.."

"Good."

Peter smiled happy that the dad made him apologize instead of taking Jack's and freaking out starting a scene. We all exchanged glances and turned back to the father and son.

"Apology accepted."

The Dad smiled and pulled Jack, who continued to pout, back to his side.

"I really am sorry for how my son acted. My wife spoils him a lot and now he thinks he can do and get whatever he wants. Honestly I think she really needs to see want all her spoiling does to him. But I promise you we will be having a long talk with him when we get home."

Glancing down at Jack on the last sentence putting emphasis on how much trouble he's in.

"It's okay and thank you for apologizing."

Peter waved it off and the Dad flushed a bit

"I'm sure you probably thought that I was going to be one of those parents that would freak out and make a whole scene."

Everyone flushed at that because it was true, they were expecting exactly that. They waved goodbye giving the friends one last apology. Peter turned back to MJ and his smile turned to a smirk when he last heard

"You are grounded."

"But Dad!"

"No buts! We'll talk about this when we get home!"
