Spider-Man: no way home

C 14

I hastily walk past the kitchen stopping, as I see my mom has breakfast laid out on the table.

My dad is sitting down at the table, with his eggs and toast, orange juice as he reads the newspaper.

Daily bugle.

I walk in and my mom turns smiling at me as she seems to be frying some bacon.

"Morning sweetheart."

"Morning..."

"Grab a plate"

"I'm actually heading out"

"This early? Where to?"

"Uh.... A friends"

"Better not be Peter"

"It's not. Uh it's MJ"

"MJ? Why does that name sound familiar?"

"I believe she hung out with her and Ned yesterday honey. She has been friends with her for the last couple years"

Dad lowers his newspaper as he turns to Mom.

"Yes. I knew she sounded familiar. I am so glad you guys are not keeping in  contact with Peter anymore"

"Yeah... me too. Look,  she is going to be here any minute so..."

"She want some bacon? I can put some on for her"

"She's a vegetarian"

"Oh"

The door then goes.

"That would be her"

I go to the door as I open it about to leave.

"You must be MJ come on in!"

My mom walks  up behind me, literally dragging MJ into our apartment.

Great.

MJ looks back at me and I mouth 'sorry' to her.

"Aww you are so pretty"

"Um... thanks. I moisturise"

"And cute"

"Honey you're scaring the girl"

My dad sets down his newspaper as he rises to his feet.

"Hello I am George. Gwen's dad"

Dad approaches MJ as he holds out his hand

"Oh. Hello sir."

"George. Just call me George"

"George... nice to uh, meet you"

"Likewise"

Dad smiles at MJ as they shake hands.

"Okay we really must go"

I take MJ's arm, pulling her to the door.

"Okay. Don't be back too late. Don't need a repeat of last night"

"Got it. Bye!"

We leave the apartment as I shut the door behind us.

"I apologise for all.. that"

"No worries. They're nice"

"Yeah well nice gets annoying very quickly. Especially from my mom."

"Well I would trade for nice any day"

I stop as I turn to MJ as we stop outside the elevator.

"MJ I-"

MJ shakes her head, as if to say to drop it.
