"NED can you please stop now?" Lillian asked the boy who kept teasing her and Peter ever since this morning.

"Why should I?! That was literally the best and cute scene that I've ever seen! I've always seen it on movies and tv series, but I never thought I would see it on real life too!" Ned said and Lillian groaned.

"Look, Ned. It was something that you should forget! Why don't we just forget this conversation and go to our classes?" Lillian asked and Ned slowly nodded.

"Fine" He said.

"Thank you. I'll see you two at lunch" Lillian said and left.

"You shouldn't have mention it again to her, Ned. I can tell that she's starting to get angry.." Peter said.

"Relax man! Trust me, she won't get angry at us" Ned said as the two of them walked to their class.

"Do we have a Decathlon meeting this afternoon?" Peter asked and Ned shook his head.

"No. Mr. Harrington said that he'll be gone for two weeks so we don't have any meeting for two weeks. He said that we should think of it as a vacation" Ned explained.

"Well, I guess I have more free time to do patroling" Peter said.

oOo

"So, what happened to your hang-out yesterday with the losers?" Mj asked Lillian. The two of them have free time and decided to spent it in the Library.

"We just watched all Star War movies, nothing else" Lillian said and left the part when she and Peter slept 'together'. Mj raised one of her eyebrows and then smirked.

"Really? But I heard from a certain nerd that you and Parker had a moment?" Mj questioned Lillian who blushed a little.

"Ned told you that?!" Lillain asked.

"Why do you think it's Leeds and not Parker?" Mj asked back.

"Because I know that Pete will never tell you that because he is shy!" Lillian answered.

"Ohhh, so you're calling him Pete now? I thought you hated him?" Mj asked.

"I never said I hated him. I'm just not fond of him that much...But we're fine now" Lillian responded and Mj smirked.

"So Ned was right. You and Parker had  a moment" Mj said and Lillian blushed a little.

"We didn't have a moment! We just cleared some things and now we're friends" She explained.

"Wow, I never thought that you and Parker would be friends. But hey, life is full of mystery and surprises" Mj said.

"Yeah..." Lillian agreed but with a sad look. Mj missed Lillian's sad expression as the two of them walked in to their shared period.

oOo

Tony was on his lab when Pepper came in. She saw him looking at his hologram with some files open and videos.

"Tony, you've been here for almost two days. What's going on?" Pepper asked and Tony sighed.

"Sorry, Peps. I was just trying to figure who is this Violetta person." Tony said and Pepper looked at him with a confused look.

"Didn't you already discover her name?" Pepper asked.

"Yeah, her name, but not her identity." Tony replied.

"Why are so eager to know who Violetta is? You were never this eager when you didn't know who Peter was" Pepper said as Tony sat down to his sofa.

"Because it was easy to track him. But her. She's different. I tried everything! I even asked FRIDAY to find something and not even her can find anything!" Tony said.

"Well since Peter was the one who disc-"

"Uh no, he wasn't. I found it out on T.V which I need to speak with that kid. I even told him to tell me as soon as he discover who was Violetta" Tony said.

"Well maybe he wants more information. You know, Peter is slowly becoming like you." Pepper said as she sat down with Tony who looked at her.

"You mean like a handsome playboy? And maybe a super billionare too?" Tony asked and Pepper shake her head.

"No and thank God he is still innocent. What I mean is he's becoming a super genius like you and always determine to do things. And that kid always wants to make you proud." Pepper explained to him.

"Wow, that's deep Ms. Potts. I never heard you saying some serious stuff" Tony said and Pepper rolled her eyes.

"That's because you never listen." Pepper said and stood up.

"Now, let's get you out of here. You even smell bad. When was the last time you took a shower" Pepper asked.

"Uhhh...two days ago...?" Tony said while laughing nervously.

"Tony!"

oOo

"Hey Lils!" Lillian heard someone called her nickname. She turned around and saw Ned waving at her and Peter giving her a small smile. She stopped walking and waited for the two boys to catched up with her and when they did, she smiled at them.

"Hey boys! How was Biology?" Lillian asked.

"It was boring! All Mr. Keynes did was talk about his day! And he even threatened us that if we didn't listen to him he will give us detention! I mean, that man is crazy! I always wonder how he got his job here..." Ned explained everything to her.

"Well that mu-" Lillian said but was cut off by a loud explosion.
Soon the three of them heard students yelling.

"What's going on?! What's with the explosion?!" Lillian yelled at the two boys as they saw students running around trying to find a safe place.

"I don't know! Hey! What happened?!" Peter asked one of the students who were running.

"We don't know! But something is happening from the Science Lab!" The boy said and left.

"We're not safe in here! Let's go!" Lillian said.

"I need to go! I left something important! You and Ned go! I'll catch up with you guys!" Peter said and ran off.

"Peter! Wait!" Lillian said and was about to go after him, but Ned stopped her by grabbing her wrist.

"Come on Lils!" Ned said and Lillian looked at him.

"But Peter!" Lillian said.

"Peter said that he'll catch up on us! He will be safe too!" Ned said and dragged Lillian somewhere safe.

Peter went in to the Science Lab, not even bothering to change to his suit. He didn't have it and he wanted to know what happened and what caused the explosion. When he arrived all he saw was smoke outside the door.

'This couldn't be Violetta's work right?.....But...there's a chance. I still don't know if she's evil or not..' Peter thought and he went in.

He saw all papers were scattered, chairs had been thrown in every part of the room and all of the  equipment were broken. He looked around the room and then something caught his attention. A pendant. It has a form of a Lily Flower Star.

If it was nothing, Peter wouldn't thought that someone must've left this while running, but it wasn't. The pendant was glowing purple. And with that pendant, Peter also found a paper with it. He took it and saw that it has something on it.

I found you, my little Flower. You can hide, but you can't run away from me forever.

Peter decided to keep the letter and the pendant. He knew that this wasn't just any letter and that pendant wasn't lost accidentally. Someone left it there. And that person wanted that someone.

Peter put the pendant and the letter on his backpack and left the room. He was running through the corridors, trying to find his best friend and newly friend. He found them at the gym where most of the students hid.

Ned saw Peter and pointed at him. Lillian turned around and she had a scared look. She quickly ran to Peter and hugged him tight.

"Thank God you're ok! I was so worried!" She said as she kept hugging him. Peter couldn't move. He was frozen. He didn't expect Lillian to be so worried about him as the two of them only cleared up things yesterday.

"I'm sorry..." Peter said and hugged her back. The two of them kept hugging each other, not having intention to let go, until someone coughed.

"Shut up, Ned" Mj said. As soon as Mj said that, Lillian realised that she was still hugging Peter. She quickly broke the hug.

"I-uh....Are you an idiot?!" Lillian asked Peter who was even more shock and confuse at the same time.

"Trying to roam around like that when some explosion happened! Are you trying to get killed?!" Lillian asked the poor boy.

"I-I was just t-trying to get s-something!" Peter stuttered his words.

"Can't you get it after this whole commotion!" Lillian yelled to him.

"But nothing happened! I'm here right?! I'm not dead!" Peter said.

"You're lucky you're not dead!" She said.

"What's that suppose to mean?! You think I ran because I want too?!" Peter argued.

"Maybe! I mean who's that stupid to ran off like that when all of this mess is happening?!" Lillian agrued back.

"What is it to you?! Why are we having this argue anyway?! All I did was grabbed something!" Peter said.

"Where is it?!" Lillian asked him.

"What?"

"The thing that you wanted to get so bad that you'd put your life in danger to get it!" Lillian said and Peter was taken back. What will he show? He didn't expect her to ask something like that.

Ned noticed the tention between the two of them and decided to break it.

"Ok...Lils, why don't you calm down for a minute...Mj...can you bring Lils outside to get some fresh air? I'll deal with Peter" Ned said. Mj said nothing and just nodded. Then she grabbed the angry girl outside the gym. When Ned saw them going out, he quickly turned to Peter.

"Dude! What was that! I've never seen Lils that angry!" Ned said.

"I don't know! I didn't know that she would react like that!" Peter said. He was still shock by Lillian's action. The two of them just cleared things out, he didn't thought that Lillian would react like that.

"She was worried, you know. As soon as we got here she kept looking around, searching for you. Mj tried to distract her but she kept asking where were you." Ned explained.

"But why.....why is she that worried about me...." Peter wondered.

"I don't know, dude. Maybe she's just scared for all of her friends. Anyway, did you found the cause of the explosion?" Ned asked Peter.

"No. No one was there when I got there. But I did found something" Peter answered.

"What is it?" Ned asked and Peter looked around. There were too many people.

"I can't show it here, there are too many people. Are you free later?" Peter asked and Ned nodded.

"Good. After school we go directly to my house." Peter said.

oOo

Lillian sighed deeply as she and Mj went outside.

"Girl, what was that about?" Mj asked.

"What?" Lillian asked.

"The shouting! I've never seen you like that." Mj said and Lillian looked away.

"Are you hiding something?" Mj asked and Lillian looked at her.

"No! I'm not hiding anything" Lillian said.

"Then what was that all about?" Mj asked.

"I...I was just worried...Hearing that explosion it made me worried...and Peter going away to danger made me more worried than before..." Lillian said. Well half of it was true...

"Did something like this happened to you before...?" Mj carefully asked her friend who sadly nodded.

"Yeah...and....it didn't end well..." Lillian said.

"I'm sorry to hear that..." Mj said.

"It's alright...I guess...I should apologize to Peter..I shouldn't yell at him like that...it was wrong for me..." Lillian said.

"I'm sure Parker will forgive you. After all you were just worried about him" Mj said and Lillian nodded.

"Want to go inside?" Mj suggested.

"You can go first..I still need more fresh air" Lillian said. Mj nodded and left the girl alone.

'I should be more careful with my actions...if I let myself lose control like that again...I might reveal it to them...and I can't let that happen...not until...' Lillian thought but was stopped when she heard a noise. She turned and look around and found no one but herself. Then she heard a noise again.

'Where's that noise coming from?' She asked herself. When she's about to look and tried to find where the noise was coming from, a hand suddenly grabbed her shoulder. She quickly grabbed the hand and and throw the person in front of her.

"Ouch!" Peter said when he fell. Lillain finally realized that it was Peter who put his hand on her shoulder.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to! It was only a reflex." Lillian apologized and helped Peter to stand up.

"It's ok...I'm fine" He said.

"Listen..Pete...I'm sorry for my actions before..I...I was just worried..." Lillian said.

"It's ok. I'm sorry too. I shouldn't went away like that...Friends?" Peter asked while smiling nervously, making Lillian smile too.

"Friends" Lillian said.

oOo

"Ok, dude. Show me that thing you found!" Ned said to Peter. After the explosion all the students were free to go home and school was suspended for two days because of what happened in the Science Lab. And as soon as Ned and Peter got home, they quickly walked to Peter's room.

"Here" Peter said and let Ned took the Pendant.

"Dude, this is a pendant..." Ned said.

"I know! But it has something!" Peter said.

"Are you sure it's not just lost by one of the students that were in the Lab?" Ned asked and Peter shook his head.

"No. I'm pretty sure no one left that Pendant. And besides, can't you see it's glowing purple?" Peter said and Ned looked at it with more attention. His eyes widened.

"You're right! Do you think it's one of those alien things again?" Ned asked.

"No...I don't think so. And look, I found this letter too. Along with that pendant." Peter said and showed Ned the letter and Ned read it.

"Woah...This letter is creepy..." Ned said.

"I think that person is looking for someone..." Peter said.

"And I think that someone is in danger. I mean, look at the letter. This person is literally threatening the other one!" Ned said.

"Have you thought that this might be connected with Violetta?" Ned asked.

"At first I thought that it might be her to cause the explosion...but I have a feeling that it's not her..." Peter said.

oOo

"God I'm so tired" Lillian said and layed on her bed. Then a light caught her eyes. It was a pendant, with a form of a Sapphire flower and it was glowing blue. Her eyes widened as the pendant kept glowing. She lifted the pendant in her shaking hands.

"He found me"
