Story: A Marvelous Love Triangle (Part 2)

A Marvelous Love Triangle Part 2
By Tcheser

Adjusting his bow tie in the mirror of a fancy downtown ballroom, Peter Parker, The Amazing Spider-Man, allowed himself a moment to feel good about his recent accomplishments while he waited for his friends and family to arrive. He hadn’t felt this good in years and wished everyone could share this feeling.

It had taken two weeks and lots of pleading on his part, but finally an uneasy truce had formed between Mary Jane Watson and Felicia Hardy AKA The Black Cat. They agreed to be civil to one another for Peter’s sake, but they refused to be friendly. Both women after all wanted Peter and after what they both had recently gone through with the age regression ray; they each felt they had a legitimate claim. Never in his wildest high school dreams did Peter think he would ever have two such incredible, sexy women pursuing him.

And although in general it was important that Mary Jane and Felicia got along as they were both important to Peter, it was vital that they got along this particular night. Somehow despite his usual rather horrible luck, Peter had actually managed to snap a series of photos that were published, and put him in the running for a prestigious photojournalism award. Mary Jane and Felicia both insisted on being at his side during this award ceremony and therefore it was essential that they got along. He hoped against hope that the evening went smoothly.

Peter was going to have to stay on his toes though. He was certain of that. Despite the fact that Felicia was bringing Flash Thompson as a date, and the girls each agreed to behave, there could still be trouble. He was going to have to watch out for them, his Aunt May, and any super villain who decided to crash the event as always inevitably seemed to happen.
