.
The next morning arrived peacefully.
Soft golden sunlight slowly entered through the windows of the Parker household while the quiet sounds of birds chirping echoed gently outside.
Unlike most children his age—
Peter Parker had already woken up very early in the morning.
Currently, the small five-year-old child was helping his mother outside in the garden while wearing tiny gardening gloves that looked slightly too big for his hands.
Mary watched him with helpless amusement.
Peter carefully watered the flowers one by one with complete seriousness on his face.
As if the flowers themselves were depending on him for survival.
“Peter…”
Mary laughed softly.
“You don’t have to water the same flower three times.”
Peter immediately looked toward the flower pot seriously.
“But this one looked thirsty.”
Mary could not help laughing again after hearing his response.
Honestly—
Sometimes Peter acted strangely mature.
But other times…
He behaved exactly like a curious innocent child.
And somehow—
Both sides of him felt equally adorable.
Soon afterward, Peter followed Mary back inside the house where he immediately began helping in the kitchen too.
He carefully carried small plates toward the dining table while Mary prepared breakfast.
Meanwhile, the smell of eggs, toast, tea, and pancakes slowly spread throughout the house.
The warm family atmosphere made the home feel incredibly peaceful.
Finally—
At around 8:30 A.M.
The front door opened.
Richard Parker had finally returned home after another exhausting night spent working at Oscorp laboratories.
Although exhaustion remained visible on his face—
The moment he saw his wife and son waiting for him—
A soft smile appeared automatically.
“Morning,” Richard said warmly.
Peter immediately looked toward him.
“Dad!”
Without hesitation, he ran toward Richard before hugging him tightly.
Richard smiled before lifting Peter into his arms easily.
“How’s my champ doing?”
Peter answered proudly,
“I helped Mom in gardening.”
Mary immediately added from the kitchen,
“And he nearly drowned the flowers with too much water.”
Peter instantly protested.
“They were thirsty!”
Richard laughed softly after hearing that.
Soon afterward—
All three members of the Parker family gathered around the dining table together.
Breakfast was finally served by both Mary and Peter proudly.
Peter even carefully placed tea beside Richard like a tiny professional waiter.
Richard looked genuinely amused.
“Thank you, sir.”
Peter nodded seriously.
“You’re welcome.”
Mary shook her head helplessly while smiling.
Soon—
The peaceful breakfast officially began.
The family talked casually while eating together warmly.
For a few moments—
It almost felt like nothing dangerous existed in the world at all.
No V-Virus.
No hidden powers.
No dangerous future.
Just a normal peaceful family.
Then suddenly—
Richard looked toward Peter thoughtfully before speaking.
“Peter.”
Peter looked up while eating pancakes.
“Yes, Dad?”
Richard smiled slightly.
“Today is Mary Jane’s first day at school with you and Gwen, right?”
Peter nodded immediately.
“Yep.”
Hearing that, Richard placed down his cup calmly before speaking gently, “Then take good care of her.”
His voice became softer afterward.
“Just like you always take care of Gwen.”
Peter listened seriously.
Meanwhile, Richard continued,
“And remember something important.”
Peter blinked curiously.
“What?”
Richard smiled warmly toward him.
“Always be kind to others.”
The room became quieter for a moment.
Mary silently looked toward both her husband and son warmly.
Meanwhile, Peter slowly nodded his head seriously.
“I will, Dad.”
His voice sounded sincere.
Not forced.
Not childish.
Completely genuine.
Richard smiled proudly afterward before gently patting Peter’s head.
“Good.”
Then warmly—
“Take care, champ.”
Peter smiled happily after hearing that.
Soon after finishing breakfast—
Peter helped clean the table together with Mary while Richard finally relaxed slightly after another sleepless night.
But suddenly—
DING-DONG.
The doorbell rang loudly.
Peter immediately looked toward the door.
“Probably Gwen.”
Without wasting time, he quickly ran toward the entrance.
Meanwhile, Mary smiled softly.
“Careful.”
Peter opened the door energetically—
And immediately saw Gwen Stacy standing outside while carrying her school bag.
Beside her—
Mary Jane Watson stood nervously while holding her own small pink school bag tightly against her chest.
Unlike Gwen’s energetic expression—
Mary Jane looked visibly shy and slightly nervous about her first day at school.
The moment Peter saw her—
He smiled warmly.
“Morning, Mary Jane.”
The nervousness on her face eased slightly after hearing his gentle voice.
“M-Morning, Peter.”
Meanwhile, Gwen immediately interrupted dramatically.
“Hurry up!”
She practically shouted while pointing toward the street.
“We’re gonna be late!”
Peter blinked once.
“You’re early.”
Gwen crossed her arms proudly.
“That’s because unlike someone…”
She stared at him dramatically.
“I’m responsible.”
Peter looked completely unconvinced.
Meanwhile, outside the house—
George Stacy waited inside the car while reading police documents.
Since Peter, Gwen, and now Mary Jane’s school happened to be located along the route toward the police station—
George had agreed to drive all three children together every morning.
Mostly because Gwen insisted loudly until everyone accepted.
Peter quickly turned around before waving toward his parents.
“Bye Mom!”
“Bye Dad!”
Mary smiled warmly while waving back.
“Take care.”
Richard also nodded calmly.
“Have a good day.”
Peter quickly grabbed his school bag before stepping outside together with Gwen and Mary Jane.
As they walked toward the car—
Mary Jane quietly moved closer toward Peter.
Peter noticed immediately.
“You nervous?”
Mary Jane looked down slightly before nodding softly.
“…A little.”
Peter smiled reassuringly afterward.
“Don’t worry.”
Then confidently—
“If someone bothers you, Gwen will probably scare them away first anyway.”
“HEY!” Gwen yelled immediately.
Peter laughed softly while Mary Jane covered her mouth and giggled quietly.
The nervousness in her heart slowly began disappearing.
Soon—
All three children entered the car.
Gwen immediately took the seat beside the window dramatically like it was her throne.
Meanwhile, Peter sat beside her while Mary Jane quietly sat on Peter’s other side.
The moment George saw all three children through the mirror—
He sighed already.
The noise level inside the car had officially tripled.
“Seatbelts,” George said calmly.
All three children obeyed immediately.
Then George started the car engine before slowly driving away from the neighborhood.
For a few moments—
The atmosphere inside the car remained peaceful.
Then suddenly—
Gwen looked toward Mary Jane excitedly.
“Today I’ll show you everything at school!”
Mary Jane blinked.
“Everything?”
Gwen nodded proudly.
“Yes.”
“The classrooms.”
“The playground.”
“The cafeteria.”
Then dramatically—
“And most importantly…”
She pointed proudly toward Peter.
“The places where Peter accidentally became famous.”
Peter immediately sighed.
“…Please stop saying it like that.”
Mary Jane looked curious now.
“Famous?”
Gwen immediately nodded excitedly.
“Oh, Peter is super popular at school.”
Peter instantly looked horrified.
“No I’m not.”
“Yes you are,” Gwen replied instantly.
“Everyone calls him Golden Boy.”
Mary Jane immediately looked toward Peter with sparkling eyes.
“Golden Boy..”
Peter slowly closed his eyes in suffering.
Meanwhile, George Stacy silently drove the car while secretly trying not to laugh again.
Honestly—
Watching Peter suffer from embarrassment had become strangely entertaining.
Meanwhile, Mary Jane softly giggled beside Peter.
“I think it sounds cool.”
Peter immediately looked betrayed.
“Not you too…”
The girls burst into laughter afterward while the car continued driving peacefully toward school beneath the warm morning sunlight.
And unknowingly—
This simple little ride together would become one of the many memories the three children would treasure deeply in the future.
Before life eventually became far more complicated.
Soon, George Stacy’s police car slowly arrived at the elementary school.
The large school building stood proudly beneath the warm morning sunlight while children ran around everywhere excitedly.
Since it was still early—
The entire place felt incredibly lively.
Currently, Peter, Gwen, and Mary Jane were all only five years old and studying in elementary school together.
The moment the car stopped—
Gwen immediately unbuckled her seatbelt dramatically.
“We’re here!”
George sighed helplessly.
“At least wait until the car fully stops next time.”
Gwen grinned innocently.
“Oops.”
Meanwhile, Peter calmly opened the door before stepping outside properly.
Then he turned toward Mary Jane.
“You coming?”
Mary Jane nodded softly before carefully stepping out while holding her school bag tightly.
It was obvious she still felt nervous.
After all—
This was her very first day at a completely new school.
And unlike Peter and Gwen—
She didn’t know anyone else here yet.
George looked toward the three children before speaking calmly, “Behave yourselves.”
Gwen immediately replied confidently,
“We always behave.”
Both George and Peter looked at her silently.
The car became quiet for one second.
Then Peter gently spoke,
“She means we try.”
George sighed again.
“Just go.”
The three children immediately laughed before running toward the school entrance together.
Soon afterward—
They entered the school building successfully.
The moment they arrived inside—
Gwen instantly became energetic again.
After placing her school bag on the classroom table—
She immediately grabbed Mary Jane’s hand excitedly.
“Come on!”
Before Mary Jane could even react—
Gwen started dragging her around the entire school enthusiastically.
“I’ll show you everything!”
Peter sighed helplessly after seeing that.
Honestly—
Gwen had enough energy to power an entire city.
Still—
He quietly followed behind them anyway.
Meanwhile, Gwen proudly introduced every single place inside the school dramatically.
“This is the playground!”
“And this is the cafeteria!”
“Oh, and over there is where Peter accidentally became famous after stopping two bullies last year!”
Peter immediately protested.
“It happened one time.”
Gwen ignored him completely.
Then she pointed toward another hallway proudly.
“And over there is where Peter helped a teacher carry books even though they were heavier than him.”
Mary Jane looked amazed.
“You really help everyone a lot…”
Peter looked slightly embarrassed afterward.
“I just do normal things.”
Meanwhile, Gwen immediately laughed loudly.
“That’s exactly why everyone likes him.”
Peter sighed again in defeat.
Soon—
After touring almost the entire school—
The bell finally rang loudly throughout the building.
Class time had arrived.
Students immediately began returning toward their classrooms.
Meanwhile, Gwen looked toward Mary Jane excitedly.
“Come on!”
“Our classroom is this way!”
Soon afterward—
All three children returned toward their classroom before sitting together at their table.
Mary Jane quietly sat between Peter and Gwen while looking around nervously.
The classroom itself looked warm and colorful.
Small drawings decorated the walls while tiny chairs and tables filled the room neatly.
Several children quietly looked toward the new girl curiously.
Some whispered among themselves softly.
Mary Jane immediately became even more nervous because of the attention.
Peter noticed immediately.
Without saying anything—
He quietly moved his chair slightly closer toward her supportively.
That small action alone somehow made her feel calmer.
Soon—
The classroom door opened.
A young female teacher slowly entered the classroom while carrying several books.
She had a gentle smile on her face and warm eyes that immediately made children feel comfortable around her.
The moment the students saw her—
Most of them greeted loudly.
“Good morning, Miss Rena!”
The teacher smiled warmly.
“Good morning, children.”
Then suddenly—
Her eyes landed on Mary Jane.
“Oh?”
Her smile softened even more.
“You must be the new student.”
Mary Jane immediately became nervous again after everyone looked toward her.
Meanwhile, the teacher slowly walked closer before speaking gently, “Hello, cutie.”
“My name is Rena.”
“I’ll be your class teacher from now on.”
Then kindly—
“What’s your name?”
The classroom became quiet afterward while everyone looked toward Mary Jane curiously.
Mary Jane immediately lowered her head shyly.
She tightly held the edge of her dress nervously.
Words almost refused to come out.
Seeing this—
Peter quietly placed his small hand gently on her shoulder.
Mary Jane looked toward him immediately.
Peter gave her a warm reassuring smile.
“Don’t worry.”
His voice sounded soft and calm.
That one simple sentence somehow eased the nervousness inside her heart immediately.
Mary Jane slowly calmed down afterward.
Then finally—
She gathered courage before looking toward the teacher again.
“H-Hello…”
“My name is Mary Jane Watson.”
Her voice sounded small at first.
But slowly—
She became more confident.
“I like singing…”
Then softly—
“My family…”
“And playing with my friends.”
After finishing her introduction—
She quietly looked down again nervously.
For one second—
The classroom remained silent.
Then suddenly—
Miss Rena smiled warmly.
“What a lovely introduction.”
Several students immediately began clapping softly too.
Mary Jane looked surprised afterward.
Meanwhile, Gwen smiled proudly beside her.
Peter also nodded approvingly.
“You did great.”
Mary Jane smiled shyly after hearing that.
Then Miss Rena gently spoke again,
“Well then, Mary Jane…”
“Welcome to our class.”
Mary Jane nodded softly.
“…Thank you.”
Meanwhile, Peter quietly noticed something.
For the first time since arriving—
Mary Jane no longer looked scared.
And seeing that—
A small smile appeared on his face too.
Because somehow…
Helping people smile naturally always made Peter himself feel happier too.
And unknowingly—
That simple kindness would one day become the very thing defining who Peter Parker truly was.
Not strength.
Not powers.
Not destiny.
But his heart.
Time passed peacefully inside the classroom.
The morning lessons continued smoothly while children studied, answered questions, laughed, and occasionally got distracted during class.
Meanwhile, Mary Jane slowly became more comfortable around everyone.
Mostly because Gwen never stopped talking for even a single minute.
And Peter quietly helped whenever she looked confused about anything.
Soon enough—
The first half of the school day finally ended.
RIIIINGGG!
The loud school bell echoed throughout the building.
Instantly—
The entire classroom became lively again.
“It’s break time!” Gwen shouted excitedly.
Before Mary Jane could even react—
Gwen immediately grabbed her hand enthusiastically.
“Come on!”
Mary Jane laughed softly after seeing Gwen’s endless energy.
Meanwhile, Peter slowly packed his books calmly before standing up.
Seeing Gwen already dragging Mary Jane away again—
He sighed helplessly.
“…She really never walks normally.”
Still—
A small smile appeared on his face before he quietly followed behind them.
Soon afterward—
All three children finally reached the school cafeteria.
The place was filled with noise, laughter, and countless children talking excitedly while eating lunch together.
The smell of different foods filled the air.
After finding an empty table—
The three children immediately sat down together.
Without wasting time—
They opened their lunchboxes happily.
Peter’s lunch was neatly prepared by Mary earlier that morning.
Meanwhile, Gwen’s lunch looked slightly messy but delicious.
And Mary Jane’s lunchbox was decorated beautifully by her mother.
Gwen immediately leaned toward Peter suspiciously.
“What did Aunt Mary make today?”
Peter calmly opened the box proudly.
“Pancakes.”
Gwen gasped dramatically.
“TRAITOR.”
Peter blinked.
“What?”
“You didn’t bring enough for everyone!”
Peter looked completely unimpressed.
“You say that every day.”
Meanwhile, Mary Jane quietly laughed while watching them argue playfully.
Honestly—
Watching Peter and Gwen together felt strangely entertaining.
Soon—
The three children began eating lunch together while talking happily.
Gwen mostly talked nonstop while Peter occasionally responded calmly.
Meanwhile, Mary Jane listened happily while slowly joining their conversations more comfortably.
For her—
This first day at school was turning out far better than expected.
Then suddenly—
Peter stood up from his seat.
“I’ll be back.”
Both girls looked toward him.
“Where are you going?” Gwen asked while eating.
Peter pointed toward the hallway.
“Washroom.”
Then calmly—
“Don’t steal my pancakes.”
Gwen immediately looked offended.
“I would never.”
Peter stared at her lunchbox silently.
Inside it—
One of his pancakes was already missing somehow.
Peter sighed deeply.
“…Unbelievable.”
Mary Jane immediately burst into laughter after seeing his expression.
Meanwhile, Peter simply shook his head helplessly before walking away toward the washroom.
Soon—
Only Gwen and Mary Jane remained at the table together.
The two girls continued talking happily while eating lunch.
Mostly about school.
Music.
Cartoons.
And random childish things.
But suddenly—
Three boys around their age slowly approached their table.
At the front stood a blond-haired boy with an arrogant expression on his face.
Behind him followed two other kids quietly.
The blond boy crossed his arms before looking directly at Mary Jane.
“Hey.”
His tone sounded rude immediately.
“You’re the new girl, right?”
Mary Jane blinked slightly before nodding politely.
“…Yeah.”
“Today’s my first day.”
The blond boy suddenly smirked mockingly.
Then—
“Hah.”
He pointed toward her hair.
“What’s wrong with your hair?”
Mary Jane froze slightly.
The boy laughed rudely afterward.
“Is that color even natural?”
“It looks horrible.”
The moment those words left his mouth—
Mary Jane immediately lowered her head slightly.
Her fingers tightened around her lunchbox unconsciously.
Meanwhile—
Gwen’s expression instantly darkened.
“What did you just say?”
Her voice no longer sounded playful.
The blond boy shrugged arrogantly.
“I’m just telling the truth.”
Then mockingly—
“She looks weird.”
One of the boys behind him laughed nervously too.
Meanwhile, Mary Jane quietly remained silent.
Because honestly—
This wasn’t the first time someone had mocked her red hair.
Still…
Hearing it on her very first day at school hurt deeply.
But before she could say anything—
Gwen suddenly slammed both hands against the table before standing up angrily.
“Take that back!”
The blond boy looked surprised.
“Why should I?”
“She does look weird.”
Gwen immediately clenched her fists.
“You’re the weird one!”
Meanwhile, the surrounding children slowly began noticing the argument too.
Several students turned toward the table curiously.
The blond boy rolled his eyes afterward.
“What are you gonna do about it?”
Gwen immediately looked ready to jump at him directly.
But suddenly—
A calm voice interrupted the situation.
“You know…”
Everyone turned immediately.
Peter had returned.
And currently—
He stood there quietly while looking directly at the blond boy.
His expression wasn’t angry.
But strangely calm.
Too calm.
Then softly—
“My mom says making fun of someone’s appearance usually means a person feels bad about themselves.”
The cafeteria became quieter for a moment.
The blond boy’s face immediately reddened.
“What?!”
Peter calmly walked closer before continuing, “And honestly…”
He looked toward Mary Jane briefly before looking back at the boy again.
“I think her hair looks nice.”
Mary Jane’s eyes widened slightly after hearing that.
Meanwhile, Gwen immediately crossed her arms proudly.
“Exactly.”
Peter then looked toward the blond boy calmly again.
“So maybe instead of insulting people…”
“You should try being kinder.”
The blond boy clenched his fists slightly.
“You think you’re better than me or something?”
Peter shook his head immediately.
“No.”
Then honestly—
“I just think bullying people is wrong.”
The blond boy suddenly looked frustrated.
Mostly because Peter’s calm attitude made it impossible to continue arguing properly.
Meanwhile, nearby students had already begun whispering among themselves.
Some even nodded in agreement with Peter.
The blond boy immediately realized things were turning against him.
“Hmph.”
He glared at Peter one last time before stepping back.
“Whatever.”
Then he looked toward Mary Jane again briefly.
“You’re still weird.”
After saying that—
He quickly walked away together with the other two boys.
The cafeteria slowly became noisy again afterward.
Meanwhile—
Mary Jane quietly looked downward again.
Peter immediately sat beside her before speaking gently, “Don’t listen to him.”
Gwen nodded immediately too.
“Yeah.”
“He’s just stupid.”
Mary Jane remained silent for a second.
Then quietly—
“…You really think my hair looks nice?”
Peter blinked once before nodding naturally.
“Yeah.”
“It’s pretty.”
Mary Jane immediately turned red afterward.
Meanwhile, Gwen stared at Peter silently.
Then dramatically—
“Peter.”
Peter looked confused.
“What?”
Gwen pointed accusingly.
“You sound like an old man sometimes.”
Peter looked deeply offended.
“I’m literally five.”
Mary Jane immediately burst into laughter again.
And slowly—
The sadness inside her heart disappeared completely.
Because for the first time—
She realized something important.
She wasn’t alone anymore.
She had friends now.
Real friends.
And perhaps—
That was one of the greatest treasures a child could ever have.
