Thoughts are in italics.

Mary Jane Watsonsmiled politely at the waiter who gave her her drink. She hadn't ordered her food yet. I hope Peter will be able to get here soon, I'm starving.

She knew it couldn't be helped, Peter being late. She just hoped and prayed her fiancé was alright.

M.J. looked down at her engagement ring, admiring it. It was a very simple ring, but lovely never the less.

The past three months had seemed to just fly by. There were days that Mary Jane felt like she must be dreaming. But she wasn't, she was with her true love, her other half that made her whole, Peter Parker. Who, happened to be Spider-Man.

But Peter being Spider-Man was the last reason why M.J. was with him. She loved Peter as himself and the person he was inside. Though Spider-Man was just a part of Peter, and Mary Jane loved that about him too.

"Of all the idiotic stunts you could pull…what were you thinking, Johnny?"

Mary Jane turned her head toward her left. One table over she saw a man and woman talking. The man's back was to her, so she couldn't see him. The woman sitting across from him had blond hair that was in French knot. She appeared to be several years older than Mary Jane.

"Aw, Sue, it was an accident, alright?" The guy, Johnny, spoke in his defense.

"Which one, Johnny?" She sounds very annoyed, Mary Jane thought, but maybe annoyed was the wrong word. Exasperated? No, livid.

"Was it when you brought two women on the flight simulator? Or maybe the fact that you caused it to crash into a wall? Which one is the accident?"

Turning back to her drink, Mary Jane was still able to hear their conversation. She knew she was eavesdropping, but they were so loud that couldn't be helped.

"Calm down, Sis," Johnny's voice was somnolent. "I'm sorry about that. Boy, ever since you dumped Reed you haven't been the same. Though I think you did a good thing there, but all the same, stop moping around."

"This has nothing to do with Reed, leave him out of this." M.J. could barely hear what Sue had said because she spoke in a low voice.

Why she was listening to this, Mary Jane didn't know. She didn't know these people, or understand their problems. No, it wasn't that she didn't care, it was that M.J. didn't know the whole story. And whatever that story was, it was none of her business.

Sue's next statement caused M.J. tosit up straighter. "Johnny, after all that time in NASA," she paused before continuing, "You end up throwing it all away for some fun. When are you going to stop goofing off and come back down to earth?"

"Goofing off? I'm having the time of my life. What's the point of settling down at some old desk job? But don't you worry, I'll be fine, you have your own life to live. Like that interview for Von Doom, when is it?"

Johnny's voice was familiar. I'm sure I've heard it before…and Sue just said he was in the NASA program. It meant that M.J. could have met him before.

"Next week. Johnny, don't try to change the subject. What about you're future, don't you care about that?"

"Why should I, if I can live in the moment?" Johnny laughed as he asked the question.

Mary Jane didn't know what Sue's response was to that. Glancing over, she saw the older woman looking at her. Ah oh, found out.

"Hello. Did you need something?" Mary Jane didn't reply to Sue's question. She could tell that Sue was trying to be polite, but her angry tone at her brother laced her words directed at Mary Jane.

Johnny turned around in his seat to face Mary Jane. He eyed her and smiled, one of those, I like what I see smiles. Then it dawned on M.J. Johnny was someone she had met before. From the look of recognition, Johnny remembered her too.

"Hi, sorry I'm late." Mary Jane heard Peter's voice reach her ears.

Notes: Sorry this is so short, but I wanted to do something different. Hope everyone liked it so far.
