Just as a warning...I have never read the comic books. I know about the
general plot, but was never a huge fan of comics in general.
This is based on the ending of the movie -- which everyone MUST go see! I saw it twice on opening weekend, but even because of that...I have no experience writing about these characters.
Also, this is my first Spidey fic ever, so be gentle w/me if you review it! I don't care that it's "impossible" or whatever...I just wanted to have some fun and get MJ and Peter together. I figured I'd throw a little plot in for the fun of it.
What's Next

Disclaimer: Peter, MJ, and the rest of the gang all belong to Stan Lee, and the people affiliated with the movie...I'm merely a fan, and (unfortunately) do not own any of them.
Summary: A continuation of the great, must-see movie! Mary Jane knows, Harry wants revenge, and Peter must continue the journey of being Spider- man. So what's next for the trio? This mostly focuses on continuing MJ's and Peter's 'ship...very sappy, I hope.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It had been almost a week since the day that Mary Jane and Peter had talked in the graveyard as they stood in front of his uncle's tombstone. There, MJ expressed her feelings of newly discovered love for him, and, even though Peter wanted to tell her so many things about him, he refused to come clean about his own feelings for MJ.
As Peter had walked away from her that afternoon, he swore to himself that he would keep her at arms-length distance. He wouldn't let her, or anyone else, get to close to him, because every time that happened, he placed his loved ones in danger. As proven by the Green Goblin, if anyone found out who Peter really was, they would all go after his friends and family. Peter swore that he would never place his Aunt May and Mary Jane in danger again, even if that meant living a life of solitude and darkness.
However, since he was trying to avoid MJ, the week had passed very slowly for Peter. Not seeing her shining eyes, her bright smile, or hearing her laugh drove him into even more of a depression. Finally, he decided to just go see her. Maybe there was still a chance that the two of them could just remain friends.
"MJ!" Peter Parker cried out as he spotted her red hair bouncing back and forth as she walked down the steps of the diner that she worked in. "MJ, wait up!" Peter ran across the street to catch up with her.
"Peter?" she asked, turning back around when she heard his voice calling out her name. "Hey there, Tiger," she greeted him with a smile on her face.
"Hey," he said, stopping in front of her.
"What are you doing here?" MJ asked. What? Just "in the neighborhood" again? she thought to herself, a small smile on her face.
"I just thought I'd stop by and see how you were," Peter said.
"I'm good," she said, nodding and smiling at him. She looked down at her watch, saying "Ooh, but I'm going to be late." She started walking down the street and Peter followed. "I have another audition today for a real TV show," she explained. "It's a call back, so I think that they liked me."
"That's great!" Peter said. "Well, I can walk you over there if you'd like."
"Thanks," MJ explained. The two walked down the sidewalk together, both silent. MJ knew that she had to bring up what had happened that day in the graveyard. She had been so sure that he shared her feelings, what had gone wrong? "So, how is Spider-man?" she asked, not really sure why that had been the question she asked.
Peter groaned and sighed. "Do you still love that guy?" he teased, even though he was secretly proud that she was asking about him.
MJ smiled and stopped walking. "No, I only love one guy," she said, looking into his blue eyes, the blue eyes that she had come to love over the months.
Peter stopped walking also and stared at her, knowing that she was talking about him. "You know...MJ-"
She looked down at her shoes and then turned to start walking again. "Sorry, I shouldn't have said that," she explained.
"No, MJ..." Peter started. "Look, it's complicated, okay? And I can't really explain everything to you."
"I understand," Mary Jane stated. And she did, more than Peter even realized.
"Thank you," Peter said. "C'mere." He wrapped his arms around MJ and gave her a comforting hug.
MJ closed her eyes and breathed him in. The words, "I will always be your friend," echoed throughout her mind. Then how come this feels so right? she asked herself. We weren't meant to be friends, we were meant to be something more. She allowed herself to relax in his embrace, sighing in comfort.
Peter let his cheek rest against the top of her head, momentarily letting his defenses down. Being with Mary Jane made him feel relieved, as if all of the stress and worries of being Spider-man had been lifted off of his shoulders. Then, just as he was getting ready to say something, a twinge went off on the back of his neck, almost like a breeze that had tickled his skin. Something was up; his spider-sense was going off.
He held onto the woman of his dreams for a second longer before stepping back. "Uh...MJ, I forgot that...uh, I have to pick up a few things for Aunt May," he said, making up an excuse to get away from her.
MJ smiled, fully well aware of what was going on. "Okay," she started. "I should get going to my audition anyway." The two took a step back from each other.
"Good luck," Peter said. "Call me and let me know how the audition went, okay? I want to be the first person to hear that you got discovered!"
"You got it, Tiger," Mary Jane replied. She continued walking while Peter took off in a run heading the other way.
Once Peter and she had some distance between the two of them, Mary Jane turned back around and watched Peter run down the sidewalk and turn down into an alley. She raised her eyes to the sky and saw something flying through the sky and she smiled to herself. No doubt about it, Peter was Spider-man.
As MJ walked down the street the where the audition was being held, she thought about that day at the graveyard. She remembered how, even though unintentionally, Peter *had* let his secret slip that day. Mary Jane knew that he was Spider-man. Well, on that day she hadn't known for sure, but the more she thought about it, the more that she thought her suspicions were correct.
The way that she felt when she was around him was the same way that she felt when Spider-man had rescued her those two times. Then there was the whole coincidence that both Peter Parker and Spider-man had been in her run- down neighborhood at the same time. That was just too impossible to believe. And then finally, what helped her solve the puzzle was Peter himself.
The shape of his face when she had pulled back his mask, and then later rested her hands on was the same. And finally, when she had kissed him, once in the alley and then again in the graveyard. The way that his lips felt against hers, the way that they moved together, gave MJ the realization that she had been kissing Peter the whole time. And not to mention that thing he does with his tongue when... .
But this was no time to get off topic.
As far as she was concerned, Peter had feelings for her and was hiding them. Why else would the Green Goblin come after *her* of all people?
All she had to do now was get Peter to realize that she knew and get him to 'fess up. Now, how was she going to do that?
