"DO YOU HAVE AN EARLY DEATH WISH?" Lillian asked Tony in shock.
"Why not? It's not a bad idea. I bet any kid would love to have their last name as a Stark" Tony said as if it was nothing.
"Yeah, a normal kid who doesn't have an evil person that follows them! Didn't you hear me?! If he finds out where I am now, he will surely kill you! Now you want me to have your last name? That will surely give away where I am!" Lillian tried to explain to him that what he did wasn't a good idea.
"I don't really care. Besides, it was already changed" Tony said and Lillian's eyes widened.
"WHAT?! WHEN?!" She asked.
"Just now" He answered and Lillian groaned.
"Seriously?!" Lillian said in disbelief.
"Tony, I don't think you should decide it on your own. I mean it's about her. I think you should speak about it with her" Pepper said.
"I am, like right now" Tony said and Pepper sighed.
"I mean before changing her name." Pepper said.
"Well even if I did speak about it with her before, I would still change it anyway" Tony said.
"Why do you even want me to have your surname anyway? It'll only create stupid news and attention" Lillian said.
"Well, I couldn't care less about it. Since you now live here, might as well change it" Tony said.
"Have you forgotten one thing?" Lillian asked him.
"What is it?" Tony replied.
"Spidey and Ned will know who I am if you changed my last name, Old man. They saw Violetta here and not Lillian. So if changed my last name to Stark, they will question everything! And my identity will be revealed!" Lillian explained.
"Huh, didn't think of that" Tony said and Lillian sighed.
"Just change it back to my old last name. I don't want any drama anymore" Lillian said and then Pepper put a hand on her shoulder. Lillian looked at her and saw Pepper giving her warm smile.
"Don't worry, I will fix it myself." Pepper said and Lillian gave her a small smile.
"Thank you so much" She thanked her.
'It's been so long since the last time I saw that smile. After all, that smile only exist because of Dad' Lillian thought.

"Lily! Where have you been?! We were texting you all day long yesterday!" Peter said as soon as he saw Lillian picking her books on her locker. Lillian closed it and looked at Peter.
"I am sorry, Pete. I wasn't feeling well yesterday, so I was in bed the entire day and my phone was on silent mode so I wouldn't be distracted" She lied. She knew it was bad to lie, but she has to. She can't really say that she was at the Stark Tower arguing with the one and only Tony Stark.
"Ok, that is a very valid reason. Health is more importanr than any other things" Peter said.
"Lils! You're back!" They heard Ned's voice. They both turn around and saw him along with Mj.
"Where were you yesterday?" Mj asked.
"I wasn't feeling very well, so I took a day out of school" Lillian answered her question.
"Well you better pray that our English teacher will give you sympathy today" Mj commented and Lillian looked at her confuse.
"Why?" She asked.
"Don't you remember? We have a test today." Mj answered and Lillian was shocked.
"Wait what?! How come I didn't know about it?!" She questioned.
"You were there when she told the class remember? She told us two weeks before. Weren't you listening?" Mj wondered.
"Well, seeing her face right now. I guess she didn't" Peter said as he stared at a disbelief Lillian.
"I am so doomed! She will kill me! Can I just go home and come tomorrow?" Lillian asked and Mj shook her head.
"Nope. You're already here, so there's no point. Maybe you will think of something." Mj said and Lillian groaned.
"I should've stayed at home..." Lillian muttered.
"I'm sure you'll ace your test. You are genius" Peter said, trying to lighten up Lillian's mood. Lillian weakly smiled at him.
"Thanks for the support, Pete. But I'm sure as hell I'll get a low vote" She said.
"Low vote my ass! How in the world did you get A+!" Mj exclaimed as the four of them were sitting on a table since it was lunch break.
"Wait, seriously?" Ned asked and Mj gave him your paper test.
"See for yourself" Mj said and Ned took it and read it, along with Peter who was sitting right next to him. Their expressions were surprised.
"How? If I don't study at least two hours for a test, I sure will get a D!" Ned said.
"See. I told you, you would ace it" Peter said and Lillian smiled at him.
"What is your secret? Tell me!" Ned asked her. Lillian chuckled and grabbed her test and put it to her bag.
"I guess if we don't study that much..use logic?" Lillian answered.
"Tried that. Didn't work" Mj commented.
"What did you get?" Peter asked Mj.
"B+. I even studied for freaking two hours" Mj answered.
"Maybe it was one time luck?" Lillian said.
"I need to study more than two hours from now on" Mj said.
"Maybe if I say that I will fail it, my grade will be high" Ned wondered.
"Don't even try it dude. I once did that, and I actually failed" Peter said.
"Anyways, do you guys have anything to do later? How about we go to this new Ice Cream shop?" Ned questioned.
"I'm pretty much free" Lillian answered.
"So am I" Peter said. Today, he has got not patrol. Since he does it in night now.
"I'm free but I will have to decline your offer" Mj said.
"Again? This is the 50th time you reject hanging out with us" Ned said.
"You counted it?" Peter asked and Ned looked at him.
"Not now, dude" Ned replied.
"Why don't you come, Mj? I'm sure it'll be fun. We'll just hangout in the Ice Cream shop and talk while eating ice cream" Lillian said. Trying to convince her best friend.
"I'm too lazy for that" Mj said.
"I'll give you $50 if you come with us" Lillian said.
"Deal" Mj replied.
"What?!" Ned exclaimed.
"Hey, who am I to decline money? That don't happen everyday" Mj said.
"Isn't too much?" Peter asked Lillian who shook her head.
"No, it's fine. But hey, at least we got her to hang with us this time" Lillian said.
"I can't believe it. You got offered $50 just to hangout." Ned said.
"Maybe it's my lucky day" Mj said with a shrug.
