Peter was super nervous. They were next. Today was Midtown's talent show. Somehow it reached his family, despite his best efforts. He thinks Tony has an inside worker in the school. So the Avengers has front row seats.

He peaked out the curtains to see Betty finish her violin solo. Everyone clapped politely. Peter's palms were sweaty. He wanted them to be impressed. He didn't want them to have come all the way out here just to see how horrible he was, at least in his opinion. Mj said he was great.

"Next we have Peter Parker and Michelle Jones with a duet, and Ned Leeds on piano." Said Mr. Harrington, reading off a flash card. Ned went out first and sat down at the piano.

Peter and Mj came out next. The stood a little ways away from each other, but if they reached their arms out they would be able to reach each others finger tips. The soft notes began to play and Peter started to sing and dance at the same time.

"I know it might be crazy, but did you hear the story?" Peter did a small turn on his tip toe before returning to his position.

"I think I heard it vaguely," Mj sang as she copied his dance.

"A girl and a zombie." The two pulled into each other. Their faces were inches apart and they held their hands together.

"Oh tell me more boy," They extended their arms toward the audience, but their gaze never left the other's eyes. "Sounds like a fantasy."

"Oh. What could go so wrong with a girl and a zombie?" They pushed off each other's hands to opposite sides of the stage. They both touched one hand to the floor, and the other reached up to the space above them.

"You're from the perfect paradise." Peter extended a hand it to her and turned fiercely into a spin. "Oh," Mj let out softly as she mirrored him. "And I'm living on the darker side."

"Ooh I got a feeling," The two stopped their spinning at the same note and leaped toward each other and pulled each other into an embrace. Their foreheads touched. "If you get to know me."

"Right from the start you caught my eye," Peter pulled away and had her twirling under his hand. "and something inside me came to life."

"Oh I got a feeling," They pulled back together and she lifted one leg into his arm, where they spun until they were back in the same position, where she dropped her leg. It was all quick, but eloquent and fluid. Like it was effortless. "if you get to know me."

"Someday." The two were now standing in each other's embrace, foreheads touching. They began to walk slowly in a circle holding each other as if they let go, it would be goodbye. "This could be, this could be ordinary. Someday." They pushed off each other again to pirouette to the side of the stage they weren't on last time they pushed away from each other.

They twirled towards each other. "Could we be something extraordinary?" They landed together and spun together across the stage fluidly. "You and me side by side. Out in the broad daylight."

They slowed and held each other closely as they stopped in the middle of the stage, where they parted from each other slightly. "If they laugh, we'll say 'we're gonna be someday.'."

The music ended and they both breathed heavily as they looked in each other's eyes. The room was silent for a second, the only real sound being their breathing that was picked up by the microphone they had on stage.

Then the audience erupted with thunderous applause all at once. This broke Peter and Mj or of the trance they had been in, caught up in the dance. They looked out to the crowd to see the whole room, even Flash, on their feet giving them a standing ovation.

They both bowed, then Ned did, and they came off stage. Mj's dress rustled as they all hugged backstage. They waited backstage for the winners to be announced, not paying full attention to the other acts. They talked and played card games.

"And now if we could have all the performers come on stage for the announcement of the winners." Everyone flooded out of the backstage area to the stage. "In third place, we have Abraham and Brad with their rap." The boys did a handshake as they were handed a small bronze trophy and an envelope with the third place prize of $25.

"In second place, Betty with her violin solo." Betty squealed and ran forward. She grabbed the silver trophy and envelope with $50. She curtsied with her blue and white dress.

"In first place," Mr. Harrington pressed a button on a remote causing the track of a drumroll to play. "we have Ned on the piano and Michelle and Peter's song and dance duet." The three all looked at each tower excitedly. Ned's jaw fully dropped. Peter walked over to Mr. Harrington and shook his hand as he retrieved the golden trophy. Mj did the same as he collected to $100 envelope.

The Avengers were loosing their goddamn minds in the front row. Tony was screaming about 'his kid', pride evident in his voice.

"Go Three Musketeers!" May called from next to Tony. Peter blushes red and ducked behind Ned.

"Thank you all for coming." Mr. Harrington said. Everyone started to dissipate from the crowd. Peter went to the bathroom and changed out of the suit he was dancing in. He put on a Midtown sweater and black skinny jeans. He came it to see the Avengers waiting for him, Tony at the head.

They all showered him with praise and hugs. When the dust settled, Peter was tucked under Tony's arm. "I'm proud of you kid."

"Thanks dad."
