Even though MJ wasn’t exactly a girly girl, who would take hours getting ready, that didn’t mean she was fast either.
Leaving her boyfriend sat patiently in the living room, wearing his new all-black slim-fitting suit, waiting for her to come downstairs.
“Where are you taking her?” Lily hopped in place as she questioned her father. “I researched dating stuff last night, so I can help you make a plan if you want?”
Somehow, Lily seemed more excited about her parent's date than anyone else.
Of course, she didn’t fully understand what a date entailed until she did her research, so this was a bit new for her.
“No thanks.” Peter smiled down at his cute daughter. “I already planned everything.”
Peter planned this out right after he promised to take her on a date.
Suddenly, the sound of heels clicking and clacking could be heard as Peter turned to see MJ walking down the stairs.
Instantly, his breath was caught in his throat.
She was wearing a beautiful slim black dress that hugged her curves in all the right places with her hair styled in soft waves.
"H-Hey, it looks horrible, doesn’t it?” MJ stutters as she adjusts the straps on her shoulders.
“Wow...” Lily muttered as she looked at her mother in awe.
“...” Meanwhile, Peter stood in the middle of the living room like a deer in headlights.
“They kind of forced me to wear this...” MJ grimaced uncomfortably. “If it doesn’t look good, then I can change. The heels aren’t as bad as I thought though. I think having superpowers helped...”
The last time her mother forced her to wear high heels, MJ did not enjoy it one bit. Although they looked good, the heels left blisters on her feet as well as some pain in her ankles.
But now all of that was gone.
‘Having superpowers is really convenient...’ She thought as she walked like a pro without any pain or balance issues.
“You look amazing... I can’t believe they got you to put that on.” Peter couldn’t hold back his words anymore.
“A little bribery and blackmail can go a long way.” Grace spoke as she and May came strolling down the stairs with smirks on their faces.
“See? We told you...” May added as MJ looked away in embarrassment.
Seeing her act like this, Peter had to speak up.
“If you’re uncomfortable, then go back and change. Although I love it, I know that you aren’t into this kind of stuff.” Peter said understandingly.
“N-No, it’s fine...” MJ muttered as her cheeks reddened. “Where are we going?"
She quickly changed the subject.
"It's a surprise," he replied with a grin.
Pulling out a blindfold from his pocket, the Granny’s in the room squealed in excitement.
Meanwhile, MJ didn’t seem so thrilled.
“Seriously?” She asked incredulously.
“Yes, now turn around.” Peter nods as he twirls his finger at her.
Sighing to herself, MJ begrudgingly complies.
“Alright, let’s go.” Peter says as he opens a portal and guides MJ through.
“Bye, have fun!” Everyone called out their farewells as the young couple disappeared into the golden portal.
———————————————
“Okay, where are we?” MJ asked as the portal snapped shut behind them.
She could feel her heels digging into the ground and the sun shining on her skin.
“Give me a minute.” Peter said as MJ could hear rustling in the surroundings.
...
“Can I take this thing off now?” A few minutes passed and MJ started to get impatient.
Though Peter didn’t reply as he walked over and removed her blindfold.
As soon as her eyes adjusted to the bright sunlight, MJ gasped in amazement.
They were standing in the middle of a beautiful meadow, filled with all sorts of foreign plants and the sweet scent of alien flowers.
Of course, that wasn’t all.
In front of them, a beautiful table had been set up with an incredible feast of exotic dishes and drinks from all over the galaxy.
“What is this place?” She asked in awe.
“Ego.” Peter smirked.
“Aren’t the Guardians here?” MJ asked worriedly. “Should we be wearing out suits?”
“Nah, I set up a barrier to keep them out.” Peter shrugged as he pulled out a chair for her. “Lady’s first.”
MJ smiled and rolled her eyes as she took a seat.
“What is all this?” MJ asked as she eyed the alien food warily.
“Well, I’ve been off planet a lot lately, so I wanted to show you some of the food I’ve been eating recently.” Peter explained as he took a seat beside her.
“Cool, what's this?” MJ asked as she pointed at a bubbling golden honey-like soup.
“Let’s try it first.” Peter said as he filled her bowl.
...
As they ate and drank, Peter and MJ talked about anything that came to mind.
And since this was their first date in a while, there was this awkward energy in the air, which made them feel like it was their very first date all over again.
As the night wore on and the stars began to shine above them, Peter looked at MJ and smiled.
“Have you ever thought about getting married?” Peter asks out of nowhere.
“!?” MJ’s eyes instantly went wide in surprise. “A-Are you asking...”
“Huh?!” Peter realized how that sounded. “No. I mean, in the future.”
“Oh...” MJ sighed in relief though she couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed as well. “No, not really.”
“I’ve thought about it a lot.” Peter admits as he reaches over and pulls her into his lap. “A small house in a nice neighborhood with neighbors that we hate. Maybe a dog or a cat or both? And possibly a few more children running around...”
Hearing Peter's plans for the future, which most definitely included her, MJ’s face heated up as she hid in the crook of his neck.
“That sounds nice...” She admitted in a mousy whisper.
“Really? Then how about we make a deal?” Peter asked as MJ peeked up at him curiously. “Let’s switch things up, shall we?”
“What do you mean?” MJ asked in confusion.
“I was thinking about how I would propose to you...” Peter admits unabashedly. “...but I’ve changed my mind.”
‘He doesn’t want to propose to me anymore?’ MJ thought worriedly.
“So, instead I’ll wait for you to propose to me.” Peter smirked as he leaned down and whispered into her ear. “Doesn’t that sound so much more appealing?”
“...” MJ was stunned into silence as Peter took hold of her chin and joined their lips together.
And moments later when they separated, Peter looked down into MJ, who could only nod her head in agreement before pushing forward to reunite their lips once again.
—————————————
When Peter awoke the next day, he smiled at the pleasant sensation of a warm body pressed up against him.
Turning his head, he found his beautiful girlfriend sleeping peacefully with her head on his chest and her arms and legs entangled around him.
But before he could bask in this situation for much longer, the door swung open with a bang, revealing three figures on the other side.
Two of them smirked knowingly in Peter's direction whilst the smallest of them simply looked curious.
“Huh?” MJ stirred as she turns to see what was going on.
“Good, you’re awake.” Grace smirked mischievously as she eyed her daughter. “Breakfast is ready. Wash up and come down before it gets cold.”
“We’ll be waiting for the details... Ahem, I mean we’ll be waiting downstairs.” May cleared her throat and walked off alongside her fellow grandma.
“I really hate them sometimes...” MJ mutters sleepily as Peter nods along in agreement.
“Are we still going to the amusement park?” Lily asks from the door with an expectant look.
“Yeah, just give us a minute.” Peter says as he closed the door with a wave of his hand.
After all, they were both very naked right now, which is something that Lily definitely shouldn’t see.
...
After an annoying breakfast, where the older women in the house were interrogating Peter and MJ about their date, it was finally time for Lily’s day out.
And of course, everyone wanted to tag along, filling the car to the brim for their little trip.
Even Ned ended up tagging along.
...
Finally, they arrived at the amusement park and Lily's eyes lit up with wonder as she saw the rides and attractions all around her.
Peter's heart warmed as he watched his daughter's face light up with joy.
They spent the entire day riding roller coasters, eating bad carnival food, and playing all sorts of games.
Peter even won a stuffed Spider-Man stuffy for Lily, which made her day even more special.
‘These damn companies keep using my image for their toys...’ Peter complained inwardly as Lily ran around happily.
On the drive home, Lily couldn't stop talking about how much fun she had, which made the whole trip worthwhile.
As an AI, Lily has been maturing quickly, making moments like this very important for her.
When they finally arrived home, Peter tucked Lily into bed and returned to the living room, where the rest of his family was sitting around, chatting.
As he stood there watching them, he couldn't help but feel a sense of peace and contentment.
‘It’s nice to take things easy every once in a while...’
