3rd Person's POV

"No I'm not gonna calm down... I'm totally freaking out."

Peter paces back and forth in his apartment while speaking rapidly on the phone with his aunt.

"I'm sorry. I know you're trying to help. I just don't understand. One second she's fine talking to me on the phone. The next she disappears... Yeah okay... I'm going to go look around... if you could that would be really helpful. Okay great... bye."

Peter runs his hands through his wild hair and falls back to slump into the couch behind him.

He stares ahead at a framed picture of him and Mila when they were in high school. Groaning his head falls back onto the cushion of the chair and he stares at the ceiling above.

"What have you gotten yourself into now Mila?"

...

"I'm so sorry for dragging you into this. Listen, you just gotta help me find these guys--"

Mj smiles shaking her head, "You don't have to apologize, okay? You got us a second shot at MIT."

Ned looks around at the trapped monster villains and frowns, "So, how did the bad guys get here?"

Young Peter hesitates before answering, "Dr. Strange doesn't-"

"He screwed up a spell trying you into college." Doctor Strange interrupts replying nonchalantly.

Mj snaps her head to Young Peter staring at him in disbelief.

Mila chuckles slumping into a chair nearby, "Uh oh you're in trouble little Peter."

Young Peter rolls his eyes then sheepishly smiles at Mj.

"I thought it was You did it with magic?! the MIT lady you saved."

Young Peter shrugs, "Uh, no, that was after. Listen let's just focus on the good news, okay?"

Doctor Strange scoffs crossing his arms over his chest, "No, let's just focus on the bad news: as of now, you have detected zero multiversal trespassers, so... get on your phones, scour the Internet, and Scooby-Doo this shit."

Mj laughs, then stares at Doctor Strange with a blank stare, "You're telling us what to do even though it was your spell that got screwed up, meaning that all of this is kinda your mess. You know, I know a couple of magic words myself, starting with the word 'please.'"

Dr. Strange softens, charmed, "Please Scooby-Doo this shit."

"Aw the tin man does have a heart." Mila jokes.

Mj snorts out a laugh and high fives Mila. The two girls chuckle as Doctor Strange rolls his eyes. Young Peter looks between the two girls and smiles lightly. They were very similar to one another.

"You can work in the Undercroft." Doctor Strange says as he begins to walk away.

Ned smiles staring in awe, "The Undercroft?!"

The four follow Strange to another area and as a lightbulb turns on, it reveals... The Undercroft, a.k.a. a normal, boring basement.

"Badass!" Ned grins.

BUZZ!

A nearby dryer signal goes off. Ned, MJ, and Young Peter take in the Christmas decorations, camping stuff... Ned grabs a crossbow, in awe.

"Guys, listen, about this whole spell thing--"

"It's totally okay." Mj interrupts.

"Wait really?"

"Yeah. I mean, I get it. You were just trying to fix things. And so, maybe just run it by us next time, you know? That way when you're thinking, 'Hey, I'm about to do something that could break the universe,' we could, like, help you. Workshop something... or brainstorm ideas..."

A smirk between them. MJ giving him shit. Becoming a genuine look. MJ forgiving him. Peter grateful for her.

"Deal."

"Enough flirting you two." Mila says as she watches Mj roll her eyes and move away from Young Peter.

Young Peter blushes slightly as Mila stares at him with a small smirk. She leans closer to him and whispers, "You better tell her how you feel soon mister. Before it's too late."

"I-I don't know what y-you're talking about."

"Oh please. You're looking at her the same way I looked at my Peter. Seriously kid, you don't want to miss your opportunity. You never know how the future could turn out for you two. Take a leap of faith."

Young Peter doesn't get to say anything before Mila winks at him and moves away. He watches her waddle over to Mj and the two begin talking as he stands there still as a statue. He thinks about what Mila had just said and decides that maybe she was right. With everything happening now it really did just show him that you don't know what the future holds. He would tell Mj soon... well soon enough.

Peter's eyes shift to Ned -- will he forgive him?

"Ned?"

"Oh, dude, I don't care. It's seriously not a big deal. Um--" Ned freezes then gets excited, "Oh! A torture rack!"

"That is a Pilates machine." Mj replies then points to other room, "That is...?"

"The crypt."

Mila claps her hands together gaining the attention of the young kids, "Okay, so we... meaning y'all and not me, because I'm insanely pregnant, will get the rest of the bad guys. Basically you just zap them, Dr. Magic will send them back here. And when you cuties get into MIT, a round of stale donuts, my treat."

Ned nods smiling, "Let's catch some Multiverse Men."

"Hey!"

The four all jump in fright before turning around. Near the crypt, Doctor Octavius is standing in his cell.

"Who the hell are these two?" He says referring to the two new kids.

Young Peter nods towards them, "These are my friends. This is MJ and uh, this is Ned."

"Hello." The two say together.

Young Peter frowns slapping his forehead, "Uh, I'm sorry, what was your name
again?"

"Doctor Otto Octavius."

A beat of silence passes then... the three teens all burst out into laughter. Mila smiles lightly at them while shaking her head.

"Wait, no seriously, what's your actual name?" Young Peter asks.

Ned gasps looking at another cell, "Oh, is that a dinosaur?!"

From his cell, Lizard scowls, unamused.

Mila smiles looking at the three teens, "I like you guys..."
