The annual Stark Christmas party was said to be legendary, one of the most anticipated Christmas parties of the year, with invitations being sent out on the first of november, and the party being on December 22nd every year. It was a prestigious event, with only a few people invited each time, and only those of high importance or closeness to the Avengers and Tony. 

Peter happened to be among those, looking excitedly at his extravagant invitation of a thick, creamy white, with gold decorations and big, loopy, over the top writing. 

Judging by the amount of spam messages he was getting from the group chat, he wasn't the only one to recieve an invitation either.

"Peterrrrrrrrrrr!" Someone yelled from the kitchen. Peter said goodbye to his friends, switched off his phone, then went down stairs to see what the commotion was about. 

"What?"

"Should we hand out candy canes at the door when people leave or hot chocolate kits?" Tony asked, looking slightly panicked. The other avengers stood around him, glaring at each other. 

"Uh, hot chocolate kits?" 

Tony nodded, scrawling something down on a list. 

"Only a few more things to organise, then we're all done." Tony pecked Pepper on the lips, the pair of them wrapping their arms around each other and melting into the embrace. 

As the days grew closer to the event, the party was all that anyone at school would talk about. Nobody else at school had been invited, especially since the event was more of a thing for adults, and nobody suspected that the three biggests nerds in the school would be invited to such a thing, especially since the only party they had ever been to was Liz's party, which Peter disappeared from, and MJ's birthday party, which was really just the decathlon team (without flash) and included a lot of cake, movies, shoving ice down peoples shirts and a couple of party games. That had been fun. 

Eventually, the day arrived, during school holidays and right before Christmas. 

Shuri had arrived two days before so that she could get over the jet lag and spend some time with Peter, and T'challa had arrived at the same time, the pair of them getting a floor to themselves in the tower, though they could stay at a five star hotel if they pleased. 

They decided to stay at the tower of course. 

MJ and Ned were going to meet them at the avenue for the party- a large, fancy hotel with extravagant decorations and a lot of staff. The party would be held in the ball room- a room pulled straight out of a history book, with marble pillars and two grand staircases for the guests to descend from. 

It was decorated however, to be more modern. There was silver and gold helium balloons attached to each pillar, and streamers hanging on each wall. In between he two massive staircases was a large throne like chair, for Santa to sit on of course, for all the children of the guests to meet.

Peter wore a neat, crisp suit, well fitted thanks to Tony's favourite suit maker person, and it matched Tony's rather well. He had planned on gelling back his brown curls, but Pepper convinced him not to, explaining that his hair looked cute in it's curls, they just needed neatening. 

She then proceeded to have her hair person fix it up with hairspray and a couple of other things Peter didn't recognise. He decided it looked nice. 

Shuri wore a traditional outfit that she made her own adjustments to, making it a little more comfortable for her, her long hair in a half up half down style. 

Pepper looked beautiful in her long red dress, her strawberry blonde hair curled. 

Bucky wore a suit, as did all the men, though Clint's was a deep purple colour. Natasha wore a beautiful green dress that matched her curled red hair, and Wanda wore a really nice black dress with lace sleeves, paired with black boots. 

Pepper was going around making sure everything was in order before the guests arrived, and Peter even got to taste test one of the foods. 

Not too long later, other people started arriving. 

It was mainly important people from shield, who Peter got to meet such as Maria Hill, Phil Coulson and Nick Fury (each had Peter in awe through the entire conversation) then there was Clint's family, who greeted Peter with tight hugs that made Shuri laugh when Peter pretended to fall over. 

Mj and Ned arrived not long after, Ned wearing a nice suit with a t-shirt underneath, his party hat on his head as he looked around the place in complete awe. Mj just pretended to look bored in her stunning white dress suit and black crop top, her curls tugged back into a tight bun and her makeup immaculate. It was so unlike Mj that it shocked Peter, but he didn't comment on it and neither did Ned or Shuri. Peter suspected Pepper had something to do with it all. 

Then came the best part- the celebrities. 

Peter knew there was probably a dozen or so paparazzi outside, snapping pictures of them all as they left their limousines. Peter was glad he and the avengers had missed that- they had snuck in a different way, and there was so much security that he doubted anyone who had seen them would manage to get any pictures out. The same had been done for anyone with children as well, including Clint's kids or Antman's kids. 

Antman had arrived, his daughter with him to meet santa, as well as all the celebrities among them. 

There was Gordan Ramsay, who had been trying to give Vision cooking lessons, there was Meryl Streep, Leonardo Decaprio, Emma Watson, Ryan Reynolds, Eddie Redmayne, Ariana Grande, Ellen DeGeneres, James Corden, Tom Hiddleston, BenedisTa Cucumberbatch, Dr Strange, Robert Downey Junior, Hugh Jackman, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Chris Evans, Tom Holland, and of course-

Barack freaking Obama.

Donald Trump was sent a letter telling him he wasn't invited and 'f*ck you'. He wasn't happy about that, and headed straight to twitter to whine about it. 

The other people who were invited were some of the higher up employees of Stark Industries, along with their children. 

So there was a heap of young children running among all the people in stunning gowns and fancy suits, giggling and eating some of the small foods offered to them by kind waiters and waitresses. 

Following behind them was one exhasperated teen, about fourteen years old, wearing a nice dress with her golden locks out. She appeared to be on babysitting duties, her eyes darting to a tall man who looked vaguely like her, and glaring at him. 

Every so often, when the children were becoming too rowdy, she would catch their wrists and hiss things at them with narrowed eyes, causing the children to scrunch their noses and poke their tongues at her then run off and continue doing whatever they had been doing. 

The girl eventually gave up, walking over to the food table and cramming at least three caramel slices into her mouth. 

Peter had a lot of fun at the party, mainly staying in the corner with Mj, Ned and Shuri, though Shuri was forced to meet a bunch of fancy people just because her brother told her too. They drank punch, nibbled sweets and quiches, and even tried dancing terribly- which ended in a lot of laughter and sore feet and toes. 

Then Tony introduced Peter to a heap of important people he was talking to. 

He met the old freaking president, who freaking shook his hand, and he met all the famous actors he'd always loved. Tom Hiddleston and Bent Cucumber promised to teach him the art of tea making, and Crisp Rat- I mean, *cough* Chris Pratt- showed him a weird dance. Robert Downey Junior, who played Tony in the movies based off them, was a literal incarnation of Tony, and it was like talking to twins. 

Mj got the chance to talk to one of her biggest idols- Emma Watson, which made her almost faint on the spot. 

Eventually 'santa' arrived, letting the children sit on his lap, as well as James Corden at one point (don't ask) which was hilarious, especially when he acted completely serious the entire time, then laughed and broke character when he left. 

After the kids got their super expensive presents that Tony had supplied, they went home or to hotels nearby, and it was just the older teens and the adults. Tony had hired babysitters for them all, though some just had parents go home with them instead.

That's when the music was cranked up, and Peter somehow ended up in a long chain of whatever that dance is called where you have your hands on each other's shoulders and walk around the room chanting. There was literally everyone in the chain, and he had lost his friends at some point. In front of him was Chris Evans, and behind him was Chris Hemsworth. 

Eventually the chain broke up, and someone cracked out the limbo. Mj surprisingly rocked at it, even while wearing heels. 

Antman also showed him some magic tricks with his cards, though he dropped all the cards once.

A long while later, after lots of dancing and eating and laughing and generally having fun, Peter, Shuri, Mj and Ned were growing tired. 

Peter found Tony talking to a dude called Tom Holland who looked freakishly like him, and told him that he wanted to go home. 

"Alright, I'll escort you guys outside to get a limo. They'll take you back to the tower, okay?" 

Peter nodded, rubbing his eyes and yawning. 

Tony excused himself from Tom Holland, who was watching curiously, and led the four tired teens outside to the limo. The other teen, who had been babysitting the children earlier, was now tiredly leaning into her father's side while he talked to friggin Bean Cimbertan. 

The limo driver didn't talk much, but the teens weren't that talkative anyway, for they were rather tired. 

Shuri and Mj headed to the bathroom to take off their makeup and change into more comfortable clothes, while Ned and Peter changed out of their suits in Peter's bedroom. 

Then Peter pulled out a heap of mattresses and they pulled them into the lounge, four to be exact, as well as four pillows and four blankets. He pushed them together to make one massive mattress- if he knew one thing, it was that they liked to cuddle. They all had exactly no boundaries while they were sleeping- including Mj, the most closed off in the group, who normally fell asleep then rolled over and hugged them. She was never embarrassed about it in the mornings however. 

Peter also wouldn't be surprised if they awoke to find Thor snuggled up to him- he wasn't nicknamed the god of cuddles for nothing. 

Once Mj and Shuri arrived back, they put on Shrek then laid down, settling down.

Peter was asleep within five minutes, and Ned, after taking five hundred pictures of Peter, fell asleep not long later. 

Shuri and Mj waited until they were both fast asleep, then glanced at each other and met eyes- smirks sliding onto their faces as they shook their permanent markers and pulled off the caps. 

This was going to be fun...
