"MJ, PLEASE! WE'LL BE LATE IF YOU KEEP CONTINUE MOPPING!" Lillian begged Mj who was still leaning her forehead on a wall. Lillian and Mj were almost at their meeting spot when Mj suddenly leaned on a random wall.

"I can't do this, Lil. I never hangout with people at all" Mj said and Lillian sighed.

"That is why we're here to meet up with Pete and Ned! It's Pete and Ned, Mj! We talk to them at school. There is no point of being nervous on hanging out with them" Lillian tried to explain it to her best friend.

"And let me remind you, that you are crushing to our friend and this will be probably your only chance to let him see that you are crushing on him!" Lillian reminded her.

"Ok. I have a feeling that you are using that just to make me go with you" Mj said and Lillian sighed again.

"Please, Mj! Just this once! If you don't like it, we won't force you ever again" Lillian pleaded her. Mj was silent for a minute then sighed and removed her head from the wall, making Lillian smile.

"Fine, but if it sucks, you will treat me food" Mj said and Lillian nodded. The two of them started to walk and when they arrived at their meeting spot, Ned and Peter were already there. The first one to notice them was Peter, who waved at them. Lillian and Mj went in front of them.

"There you are! Where were you two?" Ned asked.

"It was my fault, um..I actually forgot my phone so we had to go back to my apartment again. Sorry" Lillian lied to Ned. Mj looked at her 'almost' looking shock, Ned simply nodded, believing her but Peter wasn't. 

Soon the four teens started to walk to the Ice Cream shop. Lillian convinced Ned to walk with Mj in front of her and Peter and to her shock, the two started to talk..well Ned being the one to talk while Mj being the one to listen and sometimes answer him. Lillian watched the two with a sad smile. It was a bittersweet moment for her. 

"You ok?" Peter asked Lillian as he saw her sad for a moment. Lillian looked at him and nodded.

"Yeah, I'm ok" She lied.

"You know..you're not goot at lying.." Peter said and she was shocked.

"What?" She questioned.

"You lied about being late. You never forget your phone and I think that it'll be the first thing you will grab before going anywhere" Peter stated and Lillian chuckled.

'As always, in my world or not, I think any Peter that I befriend will always know me better than anyone' Lillian thought.

"You got me there" Lillian said with a fake chuckle.

"So, why were you two really late?" Peter asked.

"You see, Mj was having second thoughts of going out with us. So I did what I had to do. I said some things that would motivate her on going" Lillian explained.

"And by that you mean making a deal?" Peter guessed and Lillian nodded.

"That was the only thing that would keep her coming. But I guess she doesn't really regret it now" Lillian said and looked at Mj and Ned who were talking happily and were little close to each other. Peter looked and looked a bit shock.

"Wow. Didn't see that coming.." Peter mumbled but Lillian heard him and looked at him.

"Don't tell me you never had a feeling that those two have a thing?" Lillian questioned and Peter shrugged.

"Ned never really speak when it comes to relationship. The only things we talk about were school, Star wars and my internship" Peter answered and Lillian shake her head.

"That boy is good at hiding it" Lillian said.

"Hey guys! What's taking you so long? Hurry up!" Ned said as he and Mj looked at Lillian and Peter.

"Alright alright. We're coming. Come on" Lillian said and unconsciously grabbed Peter's hand and started walking. Peter blushed but followed her and let her drag him.

Mj saw this and smriked.

"Well, look at this. You two look so cute. Didn't know you're the clingy type, Lils" Mj commented and Lillian looked at her confuse.

"What do you mean?" Lillian asked. Mj looked down and Lillian followed her glance and saw that she saw holding hands with Peter. Lillian blushed and let go of Peter's hand.

"S-Sorry.." Lillian said and Peter shook his head.

"N-No, it's fine" Peter replied.

"I see the shop!" Ned said and so the four of them kept walking. With that moment, Peter and Lillian didn't talk to each other, still feeling embarassed from before.

'Keep yourself together, Lillian. He's Peter...you should not think of him more than a friend...you know how that thing ended up in the othef world...' Lillian thought.
