A stupid grin on my face I kept throughout class and the rest of the day.
Ignoring Gwen's pleas for me to drop it.
But how could I after she agreed to go on a date with me?
I have a date with Gwen Stacy.
"All is right with the world." I muttered as I closed my locker.
Still ignoring the pointed look Gwen was giving me.
"Hey Peter, what's got you so happy?" Ned asked.
As he, Harry, and Felicia walked up.
"Gwen agreed to go on a date with me." I quickly spoke before Gwen could say a word.
"Peter!" She exclaimed. Punching me in the shoulder.
"Ow!"
Only for her to be the one to wince in pain.
After all she did just punch a human/Spider genetic hybrid.
"What the hell are you made of Parker?" Gwen asked.
"Maybe I'll tell you in our date." I replied. My grin turning from stupid to smug.
"Wow, congratulations guys." Ned spoke.
Harry came and patted me on the shoulder. "Good on you Pete. Took you long enough by the way."
"Wait, you mean Peter and Gwen weren't already dating?" Felicia asked.
All of us shook our heads.
"Huh. I just assumed from how jealous Gwen was acting at lunch they were. My mistake then. But also congratulations."
"First off, thank you. Secondly, I wasn't...no, okay. Yeah, I'll admit I was acting a little jealous." Gwen said. Getting a small blush of embarrassment on her face.
"It's fine. Gwen." Felicia told her. "I know I have that affect on other girls at times. But you don't have anything to worry about. I promise. I don't have feelings for Peter. Even if he does seem like a catch."
"Stop, you're making me blush." I said.
"Even with those corny jokes of his."
"Hey, my jokes aren't corny." I said.
Only to be met with utter silence.
"My jokes aren't corny, right guys?" I asked the others.
Still being met with silence.
"Ouch." I said. "Looks like you hit me with a direct shot Ms. Hardy. One I'll definitely pay you back for."
"I'm ready whenever Mr. Parker." Felicia replied.
The two of us then shared a laugh.
After which Felicia took her leave.
Along with Ned and Harry that needed to get to academic decathlon practice.
While Gwen left for her Oscorp internship.
But not before we began making date plans.
Plans I began refining as I reached the Web.
"Good afternoon Peter." Spinner greeted me.
"Hey Spinner." I replied. "Isn't life great?"
"I would not know because I have only been in existence for two days." He replied. "But you seem to think it is. Does that relate to the expression of happiness currently on your face?"
"Yeah, it does." I replied.
I then told Spinner about my upcoming date with Gwen.
"Congratulations."
"Thanks buddy. So, what's your day been like?"
"I have been reviewing pop culture and find the science fiction genre most stimulating. Tell me Peter, could you build a functioning lightsaber if you wished?" Spinner spoke.
Making cry little tears of joy.
For my boy is growing up and becoming cultured so fast.
"Yes Spinner. I could." I replied.
I then talked to him for a bit longer before heading out on patrol.
Though I cut it a bit early for the day so I could head home and text with Gwen about the details of our date.
The two of us easily ironing out the details and setting it for Friday night.
A moment which arrived in no time.

Wearing a red Nike hoodie, blue jeans, and black Nike gym shoes I checked myself in the miror. Making sure everything was in place.
Once I was sure it was I left my room and headed downstairs.
*Click Click Click"
Where I found May ready and waiting with her phone, who immediately began snapping pictures.
"Aunt May." I groaned.
"What I can't be excited my nephew is going on his very first day?" She asked. Snapping a few more photos.
"May, leave the boy alone. He's going on a date. Not getting married." Uncle Ben said. Giving me a thumbs up.
I returned it.
His words making aunt May stop snapping her photos.
"Okay, and with that I'm off." I said.
I then rushed out the front door before Aunt May, or even Uncle Ben, could say anything else.
After which I arrived at the Stacy residence in hardly any time at all.
When I did I inhaled and then exhaled before ringing the doorbell.
A few seconds after it did the door opened and I was met with the faces of Gwen three younger brothers.
Phillip, Howard, and Simon.
Looking at me none of them said a word, until Phillip turned around and shouted. "Gwen, your boyfriend is here!"
"Shut up Phillip!" Gwen shouted back.
Walling into view a minute later.
Along with her parents Helen and the gold old Captain George Stacy.
"Hey, so are you a science nerd like our sister?" Howard asked me.
"If you guys have babies will they also be annoyingly smart?" Simon asked.
Gwen getting a blush on her face as she got closer.
"Shut up you little urchins!" She cried upon reaching us.
Going to her brothers noggies.
Only for all three to dodge and run away.
"This isn't over you three." Gwen said. She then turned to me. "Peter, hi. Sorry about that."
"No, it's fine. Siblings. I don't have any but it is what it is." I replied.
Having had a younger brother in my previous life.
So I do get the sibling thing.
I really do.
Turning from Gwen I focused my attention on her father and mother. "Mr. and Mrs. Stacy. Nice to meet you. I'm Peter Parker."
"Good to meet you Peter." George said.
"Yes. It's finally nice to meet the boy Gwen has been talking about." Helen said.
Leading Gwen blush to deepen. "Mom!" She cried embarrassingly.
"Well it's true dear." Helen said. "I mean every other word out of your mouth for the past few months have been Peter this and Pet-"
"-Yeah, okay. Bye. Love you both and I'll be back before curfew!" Gwen quickly spoke.
Cutting her mother off as she grabbed my hand and began literally dragging me away.
Then stopped once we were outside.
"So, you've been talking about me for months huh?" I asked.
"Shut up Parker." Gwen grumbled.
Leading the grin on my face to become even bigger.
Though I did shut up.
I didn't want to ruin the date after all.

Two plates of tacos in my hand I walked back over to the table Gwen and I had chosen to sit at.
Right near the food truck where I had brought her to eat.
Having discovered it during one of my patrols as Spider-Man
"And here you are my lady." I said. "One plate of Chow Mein tacos."
"Why thank you kind sir." Gwen replied.
Taking her food.
Then after taking a bite I her a distinct moan of pleasure from her like someone out of the Food Wars manga.
"It's good."
"I told you." I replied. After taking a bite of my own food. "For if there's one thing I know it's food."
"I thought that was science?" Gwen retorted.
"That too. But I'm a man of many talents." I replied. "Anyway, how are things with you? Your internship as Oscorp going well?"
"Yeah." Gwen instantly replied. "It's going great. And the head of the genetics department, Dr. Curt Connors is such a treat to work with." She told me.
Gwen then went into detail.
Me just eating my food and letting her talk.
Not only because I found it interesting, but also because I admire her passionate side.
To me it's one of her most endearing qualities.
So Gwen continued taking for ten minutes straight until she suddenly stopped. "Oh shit. I went into a tangent didn't I?"
"It's fine. I happen to think your tangents are cute."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I wouldn't lie about something like that Gwen." I replied.
"Okay. Cool." She said. "So um, what have you been up to lately?"
"This and that." I cryptically spoke.
"No seriously, Peter. What are you doing with your time?" Gwen asked. "Because you've got so much potential and don't take this the wrong way but I feel like your wasting it a bit."
"I can see why you might think that and thanks for your concern." I replied. I then took out my regular phone. "But before you say anything else, please have a look at this."
I then pulled up a little something on my phone and showed it to Gwen.
Whose eyes went wide in shock.
The reaction I had expected.
Especially since I just showed Gwen my plans for the future Parker Industries, not to mention several project designs I have either completed or are currently working on.
Unrelated to my Spider-themed activities mind you.
Like a diagnostic handheld scanner than can project a 3-D rendering of a patients body after scanning it.
Then there's a gas mask that can detect heartbeats.
"Peter this is..."
"Amazing, Spectacular. I know." I replied. "So as I just said Gwen thanks for your concern but I'm good. At least where I am right now."
"Right." She said.
Once Gwen did the two of us talked about some of my projects, as well as about Parker Industries a bit before I took her to get some ice cream.
Then a nice stroll through the local park.
After which I walked her straight back to her apartment building.
Standing outside her building entrance I took a mock bow. "And this is where I leave you my lady. I hope tonight's performance was too your liking."
"It was." Gwen replied.
"Good to know." I said. "And just let me know when your ready for an encore."
"Oh I definitely will." Gwen replied.
She then turned to leave.
Only to stop and turn back around.
Then before I could say anything Gwen grabbed my face and pulled me into a gentle kiss.
It lasting for only a few seconds before she ran inside her building.
While my brain suddenly had the blue exe. screen inside of it.
Only rebooting when several police cruisers, with their lights lit up drove past me.
Looking at them I decided to lend a hand.
So I ran into an ally, pulled a quick change like Superman, and took to the skies with my webs.
Entirely in Cloud 9.
Having just had the best first date ever.
