Today for Peter Parker and Michelle Jones was a special day. It's their first Christmas Eve in their apartment. This year Christmas Day will have a different flavor than their previous ones.

Michelle went all out in the decorations, she even got up very early to decorate their little apartment. Peter having gone out to buy croissants and hot chocolate for breakfast.

The young woman hung up some garlands in the living room, of all kinds of colors. Her boyfriend arrived with breakfast, the latter sneaked through the decoration boxes to join his beloved.

Peter: MJ, breakfast is ready. He said smiling.

Michelle: Great. I'm starving with all this work. She said smiling.

Peter: I see you've come a long way since I left. He says laughing.

Michelle: Hey me, I see you were very quick, for the breakfast and the Christmas tree. She said smiling.

Peter: The tree? he asked confused.

Michelle: Yes. Christmas Tree. You know the iconic one after Santa Claus. She said laughing.

Peter: Ah yes I see... He said, scratching the back of his neck.

Michelle: Wait...don't tell me you forgot the tree. She said dryly.

Peter: Yes... But I didn't know I had to go buy a tree. You didn't even tell me! He said grimacing.

Michelle: Of course it is! I even reminded you this morning. You even told me that the situation was under control. She said dryly.

Peter: Did I say that? He said grimacing.

Michelle: You're an idiot! How are we going to do without a Christmas tree? She said dryly.

Peter: Don't shout MJ. There is always a solution to every problem... He said grimacing.

Michelle: But it's all already found. You're going to go buy a tree and quickly! She said dryly.

Peter: But if I can't find it in the area? he asked grimacing.

Michelle: Well you all do New York! You fly, you take a taxi or whatever. But you find me a tree. Is that understood? She said dryly.

Peter: Alright...I'm going. He said with a sigh.

The young man then leaves the apartment. He walked to his street's childhood alley and changed into Spider-Man. He put on his civilian clothes in his bag, and put it on his back. The spider-man then took the direction of a place, where he can sell Christmas trees.

After many minutes of aerobatics in the sky of New York, Spider-Man then saw a market where they sold Christmas trees. Peter then put back in civilian clothes and went to this market. He looked for a tree worthy of being decorated by Michelle.

No tree interested him... as he lost hope, a fir tree caught his eye. It wasn't too expensive, Parker paid for the tree and left. He put on his Spider-Man costume again and started swinging through the buildings of his city.

This spider-sense put him on alert, when suddenly he threw himself against a building, the Christmas tree fell into the void, before reaching the ground.

Spider-Man: No, my tree... He said sadly.

Vulture: Hi Peter. He said dryly.

Spider-Man: Mister Toomes... He said surprised.

Vulture: It's time you disappeared for good. He said before attacking the young man.

Spider-Man dodged his opponent's attack. He swung it as quickly as possible, the Vulture took it, Spider-Man landed on a building roof.

Vulture: I'll make you regret all my years in prison. He said dryly.

Spider-Man: Well I know you're not on Santa's good boy list. But honestly Mr. Toomes, today I really don't have time to fight. He said calmly.

Vulture: I've been waiting for this day since the first day in prison. So sorry for you Pedro, but unfortunately you won't know this Christmas. He said dryly.

Adrian Toomes threw it at Parker. The latter struck several times on the face of his opponent. Which knocked out the Vulture. Too fast, Peter said. He left Adrian on the roof of this building and left the premises.

The latter went home without a tree... he was very afraid of MJ's reaction. Once at the door, he took a deep breath and entered. Peter walked towards the living room where he was surprised to see a decorated tree.

Peter: MJ? You're here ? he shouted.

Michelle: Yes, I'm in the kitchen. she cried.

The young man then walked towards the kitchen, where he saw his girlfriend preparing dishes.

Peter: How come there's a decorated tree in the living room? he asked confused.

Michelle: My mom brought me one. She said smiling.

Peter: But I went to buy a tree, I'll let you know. He said grimacing.

Michelle: Ah yes can I know where is this Christmas tree? She asked smiling.

Peter: It's not there... but I had one in my hands. End is a long story. But how come you asked your mother for a tree? he asked confused.

Michelle: Peter...I know you. I knew very well that you would not come home with a tree. So I took my precautions by calling my mother, so that she would bring me one. She said smiling.

Peter: So all's well that ends well. He said smiling.

Michelle: All's well that ends well. She said smiling.

END.
