May drove all of us to the party later that night. "House party in the suburbs." May said. "I remember these. Kinda jealous." "It'll be a night to remember." Ned explains. "Ned, some hats wear men. You wear that hat." May joked. "Yeah, it gives me confidence." Ned said. "This is a mistake." Peter panicked. "Hey, let's just go home." "Oh, Peter. I know it's hard for you, trying to fit in with all the changes your body's going through." May sighed. "It's flowering now. He's so stressed out lately." "Which is why we should go to the party." I said, leaving May's car. "Bye, May!" "Dude, you got the suit?" Ned asked and Peter nodded. "This is gonna change our lives."

Once we walked into the party, we had to figure out how Spider-Man was going to interact with Peter. "Okay, so we're going to have you swing in, say you guys are tight, and I get a fist bump or one of those half bro hugs." Ned whispered. "What about Flash?" I asked. "He's gonna expect to see both Spider-Man and Peter Parker in the same room." "Can't believe you guys are at this lame party." Michelle commented. "You're here, too." I explained. "Am I?" Michelle asked, walking away with a piece of toast. "Oh, my gosh. Hey guys. Cool hat, Ned." Liz complimented. "Hi, Liz." We greeted. "I'm so happy you guys came." Liz said. "There's pizza and drinks. Help yourself." "What a great party." Peter compliments. "Thanks." Liz responded when something shattered. "Oh, my parents will kill me if anything's broken. Have fun." Once Liz was gone, Ned and I turned to Peter. "Spider it up. She's here." Ned whispered. "I can't, I cannot do this." Peter refused. "Spider-Man is not a party trick, okay? Look, I'm just gonna be myself." "Peter, no one wants that." Ned said. "Dude." I nudged him. "Penis Parker, what's up!" Flash shouted into the mic. "So, where's your pal, Spider-Man? Let me guess, in Canada with your imaginary girlfriend? That's not Spider-Man. That's just Ned in a red shirt." I gave Flash a specific gesture from my hand and walked away to grab a bite to eat.

After I finished eating, I found Ned, trying to make a phone call. "Ned?" I asked. "You alright?" "Yeah, I'm just trying to get a hold of Peter." Ned explains. "He went to go get changed about 20 minutes ago." "Do you think something came up?" I wondered. "Maybe." Ned replied as Flash chants Peter's name downstairs. "Should we do something about Flash?" "He's not gonna stop unless Peter comes to the party with Spider-Man." I said. "He's such an ass." "I'm gonna try to call Peter again." Ned explains, dialing Peter's number. "Hey, man. What's up?" Peter greeted. "I'm on my way back." "Actually, I was calling to say maybe you shouldn't come. Listen." Ned said, putting the phone on speaker. "Sorry, Peter. I guess we're still losers." "We'll see you tomorrow, Pete." I added. "I'll see you guys tomorrow in school." Peter replied, hanging up on us.
