96 Chapter 96

[Third Person's PoV]

Later in the day…

*knock* *Knock*

"Senator Stern, a package with your name on it has arrived" a female voice sounded behind the closed door.

'Must be from Norman,' he thought while inwardly smirking. "Bring it in."

The secretary did as instructed and brought the package to him before leaving and closing the door behind her.

Stern opened the packet, taking the USB from inside. He held it in his hand for a while, examining it. He reached over to his desk drawer, pulling out a laptop and plugging the USB inside.

Once it was plugged in, Stern watched as the bar filled up, uploading the file. As it finished, Stern then clicked on it…

"🎶🎵 Meow Meow Meow Meow… Meow Meow Meow Meow… Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow 🎶🎵"

Stern put his hand by his forehead, covering his eyes and sighing as a bunch of cats started dancing on his screen.

"You had one job, Norman, one job."

…

Five days later…

"So nothing has happened with your father?" Peter asked, looking at Harry while leaning on his locker.

Harry just sighed as he shook his head. "He only had this defeated look in his eyes. I almost feel bad, but apart from that, it doesn't look like his life is in danger."

Just then, Gwen, Felicia, MJ, and Lizzy appeared.

Lizzy went and kissed Harry on the cheek before looking at Peter and the others. "Now that everyone is here, I can warn you all, don't you guys dare miss the party tonight."

They all started groaning as soon as they heard that, except for Harry, who just chuckled.

"We know, you've warned us like a million times already," Felicia said, rolling her eyes.

Lizzy just started pouting and grabbed a hold of Harry's arm. "I'm just saying, I don't want another accident like last time to happen."

"I'll probably arrive a little late, though, since I don't live near where you do," Felicia warned.

"I could pick you up if you want," Peter said, shrugging his shoulders.

"You have a car!?" Felicia said in complete surprise.

"Yup, I just barely drive it since it's technically against the law, but laws are meant to be broken. Breaking it for one day shouldn't hurt anyone."

Harry and Gwen both looked at Peter in amusement.

'To think this city's most famous superhero casually talks about breaking the law,' Harry thought, almost laughing out loud.

"You're smart and a rebel, you just keep getting better, Parker," Felicia said with a smirk.

Gwen just gave her one of her casual, 'Watch it' looks. Felicia just raised her hands in surrender.

The bell then rang, causing them all to sigh as they had their classes to get back to.

…

Later into the night…

Peter and Gwen returned from their daily superhero activities, they went and got changed to head towards the party.

Peter wore a blue baggy hoodie with a couple of brand designs on it, his sleeves rolled up to show his thick forearms. He paired it with black jeans with a small chain hanging on it and black boots.

Gwen wore a similar hoodie to Peter's but in pink, paired with a black skirt and black leggings, while she had her hair in a ponytail.

Peter decided to simply forgo the glasses and just be without them for the time being. He grabbed the keys and walked deeper into the subway.

Peter and Gwen stopped in front of a wall. Peter hit a button hanging by his Keychain, causing a part of the wall to start giving off blue lights and releasing steam before being pushed back and sliding open.

Inside the wall was a hidden garage Peter had. In there was just a white car with a black motorbike a few feet apart; apart from that, the entire space was just white and empty.

Peter let out a sigh, "Just looking at this is depressing, I better start filling these up."

"For what? We barely used them!? The only time we seriously used the car was when we were bitten, which was all the way in chapter 11," Gwen asked, looking at Peter weirdly.

"You just don't understand the romance between a man and his vehicle?" Peter said, activating the car.

Gwen just rolled her eyes as they both got in…

From the wall that led down to the subway, Peter's car simply passed through as they went to pick up MJ.

As they arrived, MJ walked out wearing a frilly red blouse that went off her shoulders with blue jeans, her hair was down with a part of it covering one of her eyes.

As she entered the back of the car, she let out a sigh as she kissed his cheek, "We're not going to get caught, right?"

"Nah, don't worry. If we do, we're just going to do a high-speed chase until we lose the cops," Peter smirked.

"What!?" MJ exclaimed, looking at Peter in surprise.

Peter rolled his eyes, "I'm obviously joking," he said while driving off.

"Are you really, Tiger? Cause that sounds like something you totally would do," MJ said, looking at Peter suspiciously.

"I'm astonished at the so little faith you have towards me," Peter said, faking a hurt look.

They continued bantering until they arrived in front of Felicia's house. Peter honked the horn a few times, and after a minute, Felicia appeared.

Her hair also appeared loose with a black turtleneck shirt, black jeans, and black boots.

She let out a whistle as she walked towards the car, "Damn Parker, nice ride! Where'd you rent it?" she said in a teasing tone as she got inside. "Hey girlies, looking cute as always," she addressed Gwen and MJ.

"Now then, onward, my harem of women, to the great party ahead of us," Peter declared as he drove off.

Gwen and MJ groaned in annoyance while Peter and Felicia just cracked up in laughter.

"Woah, the inside of this car is sick. Now I'm really curious where you rented it," she said after seriously admiring the interior, the blue light outlining the inside of the car with a black interior going well with the white outside.

"There's no way this baby is rented. I built her myself, I'll have you know," Peter said, puffing up his chest.

"Yeah right, and I'm the president," Felicia scoffed.

"Well then, nice to meet you, Miss President," Gwen and MJ said at the same time in a teasing voice. They both looked at each other before they started laughing together.

"No way," Felicia said, looking between the two of them in shock, "Are you guys for real?"

MJ let out a sigh, "Something you don't realize since you're relatively new to our group, but Peter's crazy smart, like the crazy scientist smart. Since he normally jokes and brags about mostly everything, what he says would just come out like plain old boasting."

MJ then gained a reminiscent look, "During middle school, Peter would drag Gwen, Harry, and me to a junkyard to help him carry a few things. Then he would build cool and crazy stuff with it," MJ looked towards Gwen with a look of amusement. "Remember the thruster boots he made?"

Gwen then broke out laughing, "Oh my God yes!" Gwen turned to Felicia and started to explain, "Peter built these boots which had thrusters near the bottom of them. He made them with some junk he thought could be of use. As he activated them, the thrusters, he flew a bit off the ground but a part that was holding the thrusters together came off causing them to be in a weird angle."

Peter hearing this started getting embarrassed as he knew where the story was leading.

"Due to the angle, Peter started going in a circle really fast. This dummy failed to see the consequences of eating before flying at high speeds and ended up throwing up, due to how he was flying and going in the air, the vomit ended up hitting perfectly in his face causing him to really start screaming and flapping his arms."

"Which kinda helped as it changed his angle and causing him to fall to the floor while rolling. As he stopped, he was on his hands and knees vomiting some more by how disgusted he was about the situation.

We didn't mean to, but MJ and I couldn't help it but start laughing. Harry started crying laughing as well, he was laughing so hard he accidentally ended up throwing up as well, by how grossed out he was and how funny it was.

Seeing that, MJ and I absolutely lost it, we almost peed ourselves laughing, we literally couldn't breathe with how hard we were laughing."

'I have sworn to never touch rocket boots since the day I live,' Peter thought as even his cheeks started turning red.

Felicia was laughing hysterically while pointing at Peter, which caused him to grumble, "It's not that funny, I was seriously traumatized by the experience… Aunt May and Uncle Ben had to get me to therapy because of it."

They continued their conversation and sharing stories with Felicia for a bit before they soon arrived in front of Lizzy's large estate, where the party was being held.
