Megan stayed up all night thinking about Peter.
It sounds weird, and she was aware of that, but she couldn't help but do it. She needed an answer to whether she loved Peter or not, and right now that answer was still "I don't know."
There was still nothing from Peter, and she feared that last night was the last time she would ever see him. She tried to not think about the possibility of Peter being dead, mainly because Megan wanted him to be alive more than anything. At least she had his jacket for comfort.
Now Megan wished she had gotten some sleep because today was their last day in Europe, and they were heading to London for a quick tour before their flight home. The trip was nowhere near fun due to all of the danger everywhere they went, so Megan was more than glad to be going home.
"I'm gonna take a quick shower before we head off. Do you want me to steal any mini shampoo and conditioner?" Michelle asked Megan, who was too distracted.
"Huh?" Megan jumps a little. "Um, no thanks."
"Awesome. I'm so stealing it for myself." She then runs into the bathroom, oddly excited to steal foreign hair products.
"Okay then."

Diary Entry #7
Today is my last day in Europe, and I'm just so glad for it to be all over.
I imagined before that this would be the greatest trip of my life, but it ended up being the worst.
Everywhere I went I was at risk of dying. I have already died before, so I'm pretty fucking sure I don't wanna die again.
As I said last night, Peter told me he loved me. I've thought long and hard about it, and I think I might be able to come up with an answer if I see him again. Emphasis on "if."
If I do see him again, I'm not sure how I'll react. Everything is different now. I know things that the average teenager shouldn't know. Same with Ned, he knows everything about Peter being Spider-Man, he knew long before me.
Let's pray nothing bad happens, because I have a feeling something will.
Conflicted as fuck,
Meg

At the train station in London, everyone was ready to get on the tour bus treat would give them a tour of the city. "Okay guys, the company set up a city tour and then we'll grab a bite and head to the airport!"
Brad stops in his tracks, questioning everything. "Is no one going to acknowledge how crazy this is?"
Everyone turns around and looks at him confused, and Megan and Ned give each other a look, wondering if Brad knew about Peter being Spider-Man.
"I mean, I get it. There's nothing scientific about this science tour at all!" Mr. Dell complains, but who cares.
"No, no, no! I'm talking about Peter!" Brad tells. "How no one noticed how shady he is? Cause I saw him in the bathroom at the rest stop with some woman in his underwear-
"Um..." Megan says to herself.
"-And he's always sneaking away like back at the opera? Huh? And now he's suddenly off the trip with his family in Berlin? Is no one here interested in the truth?"
Michelle raises an eyebrow at him, ready to expose him with class and ease. "The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world."
"MJ, what are you doing?" Megan whispers to Michelle. "This is your future man here."
"Shhh."
"George Orwell. Thank you, MJ." Brad says.
"Yeah, well since Peter is here to tell his truth, what about you, Brad?" Michelle asked, confusing Brad. "Why do you think it's cool to take pictures of people in the bathroom?"
"Yeah, dude. What's that about?" Flash questions him in disgust.
"Oh wow." Megan let's out a snort.
Brad, completely embarrassed, tries to justify himself. "No, it wasn't like that-"
"Let's just put all this craziness behind us and have a nice, peaceful afternoon!" Mr. Harrington says in an attempt to end the nonsense, which worked because everyone began walking to the exit.
Megan and Michelle walked together, and Megan had many questions. "So, Brad is cancelled?"
"Definitely." Michelle replied.
"It's a shame." She sighed. "He had potential. Except for the whole taking pictures in the bathroom thing."
"You're not even gonna question how Peter was with a woman in the bathroom?" Michelle asked.
"Nah. He's too much of a loser to hook up with some woman." Megan laughed. But it also explained why he almost killed Brad.
"True. Nice scrunchie, by the way." She smirks at Megan, knowing Peter has worn it previously.
Once they all walked outside, everyone saw the big, red bus parked out front, and it was reserved just for the class. "We got a whole bus to ourselves!"
"Hey guys!" Betty yells out and walks up to Megan and Michelle. "Let's go sit at the top! I've always wanted to do that!"
"Sure, why not?" Megan shrugged.
Everyone made their way up to the top of the bus, seating themselves wherever they pleased. Megan, Michelle, Ned and Betty all sat in the front row. Megan, who was leaning on the edge of the bus, looked up at the sky with many suspicions that something was going to happen.
Ned walks up and stands next to Megan, and then she expressed her thoughts. "I don't like this, something's definitely up."
"We're F.O.S., remember?" Ned says.
"What?" Megan looked puzzled.
"Friends of Spider-Man, duh." He replied with a hint of sass at the end. "But just remain calm, Peter's got this."
"Are you guys talking about some secret stuff without me?" Michelle says out of nowhere and stands next to Megan. "Cause I want in."
"Mysterio's a fake." Ned blurts.
"Damn." She curses to herself. "I knew it."
Megan lightly punched Ned for telling Michelle, mainly because now Michelle was in danger too. "And now you're kind of in danger because you know."
But she wasn't phased by this, at least that's what she claims. "I live for danger."
"Do you?" Megan raises an eyebrow, doubting her best friend.
"Kind of." Michelle shrugs.
A large, dark cloud emerges, surrounding the London bridge. "That doesn't look good."
"Is that fake?" Michelle asks Megan as they all look at the cloud.
"Yeah, we're not in danger so don't worry about it." Megan answers quickly, trying to remind herself it's not real.
"Danger's my middle name." She whispers.
"Enough with the danger!"
A loud thunder crack occurred, and the three all frantically looked around, knowing what was about to come next.
Wind started to blow at a dangerous rate, and Mr. Harrington ran up the buses' stairs with some alarming news. "Our bus driver's gone!"
"What?"
"It's okay!" He lies. "Mr. Dell and I have this under control!"
"No, no, no! Do not try to drag me into this, Roger!" Mr. Dell yells at Mr. Harrington.
"I'm doing my best, Julius!" Mr. Harrington snapped, leaving everyone speechless.
"God damn." Megan whispers to herself.
The water monster from Venice appeared out of nowhere, but Megan, Ned, and Michelle weren't sure why it would pop up again.
"Oh my god, get off the bus!"
Without another thought everyone raced off the bus in what could be record time, then ran off away from where the elementals were.
"Everyone follow me!"
Ned held Betty's hand as they ran while Megan and Michelle were behind them, looking up at the monster nearby. They were all running as fast as they could, maneuvering around abandoned cars and even cars there were on fire.
Lightning hit a car behind them, setting it on fire, and they all screamed in fear. Megan had to keep reminding herself it wasn't real, but it sure felt too real to not be scared by it.
Megan accidentally tripped over a random object (she was too scared shitless to care what it was), and landed face first on the ground, leaving a cut on her forehead. Michelle ran without knowing she was leaving her behind, but she heard Megan call for her. "MJ!"
She quickly turned around and called for Ned and Betty to stop, then ran up to Megan, helping her up then continued running.
"Are you okay?" Michelle asked.
"Kind of!" Megan replied, yelling over all of the commotion.
They all noticed Flash stopping to record everything, so they quickly ambushed him and dragged him with them. "Hey! I was recording!"
"Stop being a fucking dumbass and run!" Megan insults him. Out of nowhere, another lightning bolt almost hit them, scaring them. "Ah!"
"It's not real!" Ned tries to reassure Megan.
"Well it sure as hell looks like it!" She yells.
Every monster that previously attacked them were there attacking the city, destroying anything and everything. The entire class stops and looks up the sky, thinking that this was it for them.
"Babe, are we gonna die?" Betty asks Ned, clinging onto his hand.
"No, babe." He says. "Everything's fine."
"Hey, look!" Brad points. "It's Mysterio!"
They all look up what Mysterio, and everyone who was an idiot thought that he would be saving the day, but the others knew better.
Megan realized that her, Ned and Michelle were pretty much fucked, so they had to do something. "Wait, Mysterio knows that we know."
"We're in danger!" Ned exclaims.
"Yeah, and so are they." She says, referring to their classmates. "Let's go!"
And so they began running, not saying anything to their classmates, and they didn't even noticed that they left. Well, except for Betty.
"Babe! Wait up!"
"She would so be the first to die in a zombie apocalypse." Michelle laughs.
"Hey guys! Where are we going?" It was Flash, who had also noticed they ran off and decided it was a good idea to follow them.
"I take that back."
They continue running, and a figure in red and black flew down from the sky, and it was none other than Peter Parker himself.
"It's Spider-Man!" Flash yells out, fanboying a little.
"What?" Megan asked in shocked, then looks to see he was actually alive. She stood there, relieved that Peter was okay, but she couldn't help but begin to tear up. Not that long ago she assumed he was dead, and now it's clear that she was wrong.
"Meg?" Michelle places a hand on Megan's shoulder, worried for her. "Are you okay?"
"What?" She snaps out of her little trance, wiping away the tears that were forming. "Yeah. Let's go."
Megan and Ned noticed Happy running in their direction, and they were definitely wondering why. "Ned!"
"Happy?" Megan and Ned ask at the same time.
"I gotta get you guys outta here! Get on the jet!" Happy points to the enormous jet nearby, that was ready to take them away.
"Who are you?" Michelle questioned.
"I work with Spider-Man, okay? You guys gotta get on-"
"You work for Spider-Man?" Flash asks in a fanboy-esque moment.
"I work with Spider-Man not for-" The jet explodes out of nowhere, meaning that Happy had to think of a new plan, and extremely fast. "New plan! Inside the tower!"
As they all run to the tower, Megan catches up to him, asking him a question that probably should've waited until later. "Hey, aren't you the guy that cut me and Ned off at Homecoming?"
"Are you Meg?" He questioned, recognizing her face.
"Uh, yeah?"
Happy pulls out the necklace Peter gave him earlier out of his pocket and hands it to Megan. "Peter told me to give this to you."
Megan quickly looks at the necklace before putting it into her pocket, and follows Happy into the crowned jewels hall.
"Into the vault! Let's go!"
They run into the vault, with dozens of drones following them. The drones shot at the displays, breaking all sorts of glass. Megan and the rest of the group just barely dodged the shards going in every direction.
"Take cover!"
They all hid behind whatever was near, and Megan eyed a battle axe a couple feet away from her. Michelle, who was on the other side of the hall noticed the mace near her, and they both gave each other a look.
A drone slowly inched down the hall for any sight of them, ready to kill at any given moment. Everyone stood as still as possible, not even daring to make a sound.
Megan and Michelle went to grab for the weapons in front of them, despite Happy signaling them to not do it. The moment Michelle grabbed the mace, she almost dropped it due to its heavy weight, and the drone turned towards her due to the slight noise she made.
Betty knocked down a knight suit to cause a distraction, and the drone luckily turned away from Michelle and shot the knight suit repeatedly.
Megan jumped out from her hiding spot and knocked down the drone with her axe, surprising everyone in the room. But, the drone immediately got back up and began shooting everywhere. "That definitely did not work!"
Michelle hits the drone with her mace, somewhat damaging it, then Happy grabs a random shield to protect everyone while he ushered them to the next room. He shuts the door while the drone was on the other side, praying they didn't die.
The drone attempts to shoot the door down, but it's too solid to do so. So, it uses a laser to cut a giant hole in the door.
"We're gonna die!" Ned screams, fearing for his life as much as everybody else.
"Nobody dies on my watch." Happy says with some sort of odd determination to protect Peter's friends.
They all heard a loud thump, thinking that this was it. And apparently when you're in a near death situation, you just blurt out your sins!
"I wasted my life playing video games and we're gonna die!" Ned confesses.
Thump.
Now it was Betty's turn. "I have a fake ID and I've never even used it!"
Thump.
Then Flash. "I post stupid videos daily for people to li-"
"Hey!" Happy interiors him. "If it weren't for those stupid videos, Spider-Man would've never found you."
"Spider-Man follows me? I saved us guys!" He cheered.
"If you saved us then why are we about to die?" Michelle yelled at him.
"MJ!"
"I'm sorry, okay?" She apologizes, now confessing her sin. "I'm obsessed with telling the truth even if it hurts other people's feelings!"
Another thump.
"I'm in love with Spider-Man's aunt." Happy blurts out. Everyone looks at him in confusion, and he looks at them wondering why they were looking at him like that. "We're sharing, right?"
It was now down to Megan, who had many sins to confess, but this one was more important. "I... I owe Spider-Man an apology."
