Peter grinned as he raced to his small friend group's table in the cafeteria. "I got them!" He exclaims, holding the six tickets up that he had been tasked to get for the group. Ned cheers as he throws his hands up in the air, a grin wide on his face. MJ and Becca smiled and Michelle just shrugged in acknowledgement, and Harry cheers along with Ned.

"Yes! Alright! Fair time!" Ned cheers, grinning wide.

Becca laughs at her friends, then looks at Peter. She pecks his lips with her own, greeting him like she had been doing since their first kiss three weeks ago on their balcony. Since then life had been pretty normal, school during the weekdays, hanging out with friends on the weekends. And patrol every other night. Right now the friends were talking over their plans for the carnival that was in the city right now. It would be Becca's first ever carnival and the friends wanted to make it special for their Miss America.

"I still don't understand what's so special about a fair." Becca says, looking at her friends.

MJ smiles, "It's something every teen has to do in their lifetime with their friends. And it's a fun place to hang out."

"And the food is so good." Ned says, Harry nodding in agreement, "You have funnel cake, and deep fried everything. The corn dogs are so good."

"Ned! You're making me hungry." Peter exclaims as he sits down in front of his tray that Becca had gotten for him. He kisses her cheek as he starts to eat his lunch.

"Fairs are a waste of time." Michelle states as she flips a page of her book, "All they do is promote diabetes."

"And fun." Harry points out, "Do you not believe in fun, Elle?"

Michelle shrugs, "Your version of fun and mine are very different."

Becca laughs, "But we'll be together. C'mon, Elle. Benji already got the tickets anyways."

Michelle rolls her eyes, "Fine, but i'm brining my book."

Becca grins, wrapping her arms around Michelle as the friend groan in protest, "I wouldn't expect anything less from you, Elle." She says, smiling.

Peter smiled as he watched his girlfriend interact with their friends. She was adjusting well to everything, she felt like Queens was her home. That she finally belonged in a place that didn't consist of constant fighting and pain. That she could be herself and not live under the constant fear of people being after her.

The bell rings, signaling for the students to end lunch. Becca smiles as she puts a nugget into her mouth before she throws her trash away. Peter does the same and wraps his arm around her shoulders.

"You guys are gross." Michelle grumbles as she walks past the couple and into the hallways.

The redhead of the friend group laughs, "I think they're cute." She says, "Pete, when did you get the tickets for?"

Peter pulls the tickets out of his pocket, "Saturday." He states, smiling, "They're all day passes too." He adds.

Harry smiles, "Awesome. Rollercoasters here we come!" He exclaims, looking over at Becca, "Will it be your first rollercoaster experience too?"

Becca nods, "Yes. What are they?"

Ned's eyes widen, he grips Becca by the shoulders, looking at her intensely. "You don't know what rollercoasters are?"

Peter chuckles, "That's what she said, buddy."

Ned pulls Becca into his arms, making her head rest on his chest, "Sweet padawan. We will guide you through the ways of rollercoasters, fun houses and fair food."

MJ scrolls through her phone as she leans against the lockers, "And there's a concert going on to towards the end of the night."

Harry looks over her shoulder, reading MJ's phone as well, then pulls away. His face was red when Becca looked at MJ and Harry. She smiled softly as she pulled away from Ned's chest, "Alright, Master Leeds." She teased, then walked to her redheaded friend, "Did you see the way Harry was looking at you?" Becca asked.

MJ's face begins to turn pink as she pulled her hat lower on her head, "Hush, Sof.. Wait- how was he looking at me?"

Becca laughs quietly, "Honestly, i think he might like you, MJ." She says, looking at her, watching her close friend's reaction.

"Really? You think so?" MJ asks hesitantly, indicating that she's unsure of herself.

Becca nods, "I'm positive." She says. "Maybe he'll ask you at the fair on Saturday.

When the group met up together, Becca was squealing in joy as she ran over to MJ and Harry, "I knew it! How did it happen?"

Harry chuckles, feeling nervous but happy at the same time. Months ago he had liked Becca, but he knew they were better off as friends. He saw how perfect Peter was for Becca and backed off. That was when he and MJ started hanging out more outside of the group. The two had become closer over the months. And Harry seemed like it was the right time to ask MJ out, the fair being the perfect first date in his mind.

Becca couldn't be more ecstatic for them, the joy radiating off her face as she hugged both of them tightly. "Benji, they're here!" She states, waving her arm in the air to gain his attention. Though the teenage boy's eyes never left his girlfriend. He could stare at her all day if he was able to. She captivated him in the most intriguing ways possible. He was mesmerized by how she fought, she danced ballet in her spare time. And he felt eternally blessed to be able to watch her.

Peter chuckles, nodding. His hands in his pockets as Ned and Michelle walked up together. "Hey guys." He greets them.

Michelle looks up from her book with a dead stare. "If you're gonna feed each other like those couples in the movies. Warn me."

Peter chuckles, "Noted, Elle." He teases. Becca walking up quickly and interlocking her arm with Peter's as they walk up to hand the fair worker the tickets.

Becca's eyes widen as they pass through the entrance, the amount of vendors surrounding her were shocking her. The food smells enticed her and the rollercoasters, she could hear people laughing and screaming from all the way from the other end of the fairgrounds.

"What should we go first?" Ned asks, looking around, "Should we eat first?"

Becca nods, "I'm hungry. All these smells are making me even more hungry than i was before we got here."

Peter chuckles, nodding, "I'm with Fia." He states, looking over at Michelle, Harry and MJ.

"Sounds good to me." MJ says, Harry agreeing with his new girlfriend.

Michelle snickers, causing the friends to look at her, "Food then rollercoasters? You wanna throw up?"

Peter shakes his head, "Food, games then rollercoasters." He clarifies to Michelle.

"There's games? Where?" Becca asks excitedly, looking around the fair grounds.

Ned laughs, "Way over there, Sof." He says, motioning to across the giant fair grounds, "We can sit and eat or eat and walk. There's lots of things to do."

Becca grins, "I can't wait to try it all."

Peter smiles, watching his girlfriend enjoy herself. The sights, sounds and smells were messing with his senses a bit. But he focused in on Becca's heartbeat, calming the overloading of his senses down enough so he could enjoy his time with his friends.

The group went to get food, Peter ordering for Becca because she had never experienced fair food before. The rest of the group got their food and found a place to sit. They all were eating but also watching Becca try her fair corn dog for the first time.

"Ith yummy." Becca said with a small bite of corn dog in her mouth, blushing as she quickly swallowed. Leaning into Peter as she took another bite of her lunch. The group laughed and enjoyed the rest of their lunches together when Becca's phone went off as well as everyone else's. The group pulled their phones out, seeing the breaking news notification. Becca's eyes widened when as she reads the notification. Her blue eyes snap up to her boyfriend, then to the rest of the group. All of them watching her to see how she'd react. "I- I need to call my dad.." She mutters, standing up and walking off from the group as she dials her uncle's number.

Peter follows closely, standing off slightly to the distance as he hears the phone pick up.

"Becca?" Steve's voice is grumbly as he answers.

"Uncle Steve. I- I just saw the news, e-everyone did. What happened? Are you guys okay? I- Is Mama okay?"

"Whoa, B, slow down. Breathe." Steve replies quickly. Peter notices the uptake in her heartbeat and goes over, trying to calm her down by wrapping his arms around her waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. He presses his lips to her cheek softly. Reassuring her.

"O- Okay.." The niece stutters, calming her breathing down slowly. Peter helping her makes it go by faster, "What.. What happened in Lagos, Uncle Steve?"

"Mistakes.. we went to try and capture Rumlow. We had our first solid lead on him in months. Your Ma and I were against him, we were good, winning even." Steve stops, Becca can hear commotion going on over on the other line.

"Until?"

"Until Rumlow mentioned your Pa." Steve finishes, "Both your Ma and i froze when he mentioned Bucky." He states, "He was distracting us as he detonated a bomb vest he was wearing. Wanda caught it in time to save us. She forced Rumlow into the air to save the people on the ground from the explosion. But the bomb went off against a building with people in it."

"The bomb killed the people in the building?"

"Yes, your Ma ran into the building to try and save them, but she couldn't. The bomb had killed them on impact."

"Is she okay?"

"Physically? Yes, she'll be okay, a bruised rib and some other deep bruises. But mentally? I don't think so." Steve replies quietly, "Her and Wanda both are taking this hard."

"I'm sorry for the people in Nigeria.. they didn't deserve to die.." Becca says.

"No, they didn't. But many more would have died had we not been there."

"I know. You guys can't always save everyone.."

"We try to. But that doesn't always happen."

"Can i talk to Mama?"

"Sure. Let me get her. We're on the quinjet back to the Facility right now." Steve says. Becca can hear footsteps against metal, then shuffling of the phone until her mother's voice comes through the phone.

"Baby?"

"Mama?"

"Oh honey. Your uncle and i, and everyone else are okay." Mary reassures her daughter, "I wont be surprised if there weren't repercussions over this. So be careful. You and Peter need to lay low for a while."

"Stop patrolling? But Mama-"

"Baby, this is for your safety. I know you want to help Queens and the people of New York. And i love you so much for that. But right now, heroes aren't what the people want to see."

Becca sighs in defeat, her blue eyes looking at Peter, who's still resting his chin against her shoulder. She leans her head onto his, "Okay, Mama. We'll lay low."

"Thank you. And tell Peter i say hi for me." Mary tells her daughter, "I love you to the ends of the earth, baby."

"He says hi back. And i love you to the moon and back, Mama." The daughter replies, smiling weakly. She hangs up the phone, looking at her boyfriend, "I want to still have fun.."

Peter forces a smile for his girlfriend's sake, "Then fun we shall have."

The rest of their day consisted of a lot of firsts for Becca. She rode rollercoasters with Harry, Ned, Peter and MJ while Michelle watched their things and read her books that she had brought. The group also played games. Peter and Harry won their girlfriends stuffed animals. Becca's was a soft llama stuffy and MJ's was a unicorn, per her request stating, "I'm a unicorn in my own right, only natural that i have a unicorn stuffy." So Harry won that for his new girlfriend. Taking a picture of her as she squeezed it tightly in glee.

Becca was holding her llama tightly as Peter ushered the group, even Michelle, onto the ferris wheel. They ended the night at the fair while sitting under the stars at the top of the farris wheel. Fireworks going off in the distance closing the night off for the group of friends.

Becca leaned into Peter, his arm around her shoulders as he held her tightly. "I'm never forgetting this day. Especially because you won me Lorenzo."

Peter laughs quietly, "Yes, Lorenzo the llama has a home now." He teases, "We'll grab funnel cake to eat at home."

The girlfriend nods, yawning as she closes her eyes as she lays against Peter, "We'll have to make this a thing we do every year with the group. Even when we're all away at college. And married with kids."

Peter flushes, thinking about being married to Becca and having children. Her eyes on a baby girl or boy. A tiny version of him or her. He wouldn't care what they looked like. As long as they came into the world filled with love, he would be happy. "Yeah, that'd be nice."
