Look Mr. Barnes!
Narrator's POV
"And that's the life cycle of a butterfly." Oliver said, presenting his project to his parents, who sat in the couch as his audience.
"That was amazing. Bravo." Stephen clapped for his son.
"Did you think so?" Oliver asked.
"Couldn't have done it better myself." Tony said.
Oliver smiled. "Thank you!" Oliver jumped in between his dads.
They embraced their little one.
"Tickle time!" Tony laughed and began to to tickle Oliver.
"P-Papa! No!" Oliver laughed.
"What's that? More?" Tony asked.
"D-Daddy! Help!" Oliver laughed.
"I cannot interfere." Stephen said, smiling at his son's and husband.
"Levi!" Oliver called.
Levi came down to his assistance.
"Oh, shut up!" Peter laughed as he made his way downstairs with Wade behind him.
"But it's true." Wade said.
Peter saw his dads and his younger brother sitting on the couch. "Hey dads, we'll be back. Wade and I are gonna go to a concert."
"A concert?" Tony asked. "We weren't told about this."
"Oh." Wade looked at Tony. "We're going to a concert."
"Now, wait a min-"
"That's great." Stephen said.
"What?" Tony looked at Stephen.
"You have a great time." Stephen said.
"Thanks dad. We'll be back at eleven." Peter said.
"Bye." Wade said.
The two teens left the house.
"Since when do you just let your son go out like that?" Tony asked.
Oliver sat on the couch, watching his two dads.
"Honey, they're teens. Let them have their fun while they're young." Stephen said.
"But I-"
"Stephen...we have little ears listening." Stephen looked at Oliver.
Tony sighed. "Fine."
"You remember our teens, don't you?" Stephen asked, drawing Tony close.
Levi placed his two corners over Oliver's eyes.
"Oh, I do." Tony said. "It was the time of love, peace and rock and roll." He gave Stephen's neck a kiss.
"Tony." Stephen gasped.
"You like that?" Tony asked.
"Can I be a teen?"
Suddenly Oliver's voice interrupted the two.
Stephen's face grew red.
They both turned to their little son, whose eyes were covered by Levi.
"Um..." Tony coughed.
"Oh god..." Stephen hid his face in his hands. "Thanks Cloak." Stephen said, waving his hands, telling Levi he was dismissed.
Levi gave him a small nod and removed his corners from over Oliver's eyes and stood by the side of the couch.
"You have a few years left before you can get there." Tony told Oliver.
"Aww. Why can't I be one now?" Oliver whined.
"Honey, you shouldn't be in such a hurry to grow up." Stephen said, picking Oliver up and holding him in his arms.
"Yeah. It's about the stupidest thing I've ever done." Tony said.
"Don't listen to your father. He's just jealous he didn't grow up as handsome as me." Stephen teased.
"Damn right I am." Tony smiled, kissing Stephen's cheek.
"But can I be a teen?" Oliver asked.
"For today, yes." Stephen said.
"Yes!" Oliver smiled.
Tony laughed a little.
"Okay. So what do teens do?" Oliver asked.
"Well...today's teens are a lot different from when we were teens." Stephen said.
"Yeah. We didn't have our phones up in our faces 24/7. We also didn't make words up to mean other words." Tony said.
"Oh, yeah. Also, we didn't eat every time we were bored." Stephen added in. "We went around the school yard and play basketball or go for bike rides around the neighborhood." Stephen said. "That's how we got around."
"Oh, and lots dancing and hanging out with friends." Tony added. "Gosh, we went over to each other's houses a lot. Staid up all night, sighing karaoke as we jumped on the beds."
Stephen laughed as old memories popped into his mind. "Waking up the next morning to find a lobster in the bathtub."
"A lobster?" Oliver asked.
"It's a funny story." Tony said.
"Your Uncle Thor saved a lobster from the seafood department at a grocery store, took it home after I paid for it, and kept it as a pet." Stephen said.
"Can I have a lobster?" Oliver asked.
"No. Nooooohohoho." Tony said, taking Oliver into his arms. "Absolutely not."
"You know, I think a family pet would be good." Stephen said.
"Yes!" Oliver smiled. "Let's get a puppy!"
"A puppy?" Tony asked.
"Or a kitty...or both!" Oliver suggested.
"That's a great idea." Stephen said.
"What do you think Papa?" Oliver asked Tony, looking up at him.
"Well, I think..." He looked at Stephen, who looked super excited about the idea. He smiled. "I think that's also a great idea."

"Are you ready to to enjoy yourselves at the Woodstick Festival?" Mj shouted as she sat in the driver's seat of a car, looking back at her friends. Harry sat next to her in the passenger seat.
Peter sat in the back with Ned. Wade sat between them
"Yeah!" Harry, Ned, Wade and Peter cheered.
"Let's get weird!" Wade shouted.
"Now..." Mj turned the radio on.
Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go, there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know
"We ride." She said and stepped on the gas.
"Yeah!" Ned and Wade howled out the window.
Peter laughed at the two as they drove away.
///0///0
"Alright. What are we doing first?" Harry asked as he looked around the festival.
There were many food trucks and tents up. There was good music, and people having a good time.
"Ah!" Ned gasped. He took Peter by the arm. "Peter look!"
Peter turned to see a food truck with weird shaped corn dogs.
"Ah!" Peter gasped.
They looked at each other.
"Let's go!" They said together and made their way to the truck.
Wade smiled at the two dorks and started walking their way when Mj stopped him. "Excuse me." He said.
"Um...no. I don't think so." She said, crossing her arms.
Harry joined her. "We just wanna ask you a few questions about Peter."
They stood in his way.
"It's funny how you two think you can hold me back." Wade scoffed.
///0///0
"So then I said: save some for the rest of us." Ned told Peter as they sat at a table near the food truck.
Peter laughed. "I guess I missed quite a bit since I've been gone, huh?"
"Not too much." Ned said, dipping his star shaped corn dog in some ketchup. "It's good to have you back, Pete." He smiled at his friend.
Peter smiled back at him. "It's good to be back."
The two sat in silence as they ate, but Peter felt a cold hand on his shoulder. He turned around to see Barnes with a hand on his shoulder.
"Mr. Barnes." He said with a mouthful of corn dog. He swallowed. "Hi."
Bucky smiled at him. "Hiya, kid."
"Hi." Peter said again.
"You're Stark's kid, right?" Bucky asked.
Peter nodded.
"Tell me, how is he?" He asked.
"He's just great." Peter said.
"That's good." Bucky said. "And you? How are you?"
"I'm good. I'm doing well." Peter asked.
"I'm glad. You really took a bullet for Tony, there. bullet for your dad there. Brave kid." Bucky smiled.
"Yeah." Peter nodded.
The two stood there like idiots. There wasn't much to talk about between a teenager and a semi-stable 100 year old man.
"Oh, Mr's Barnes. This is my friend Ned." Peter introduced Ned to him.
"Hi." Ned said.
"'Hey kid." Bucky waved at Ned.
Peter put his hand on Ned's shoulder. "He's a bit shy when you first meet him, but once y-"
"Is that a metal hand?" Bucky asked.
"Oh." Peter looked down at his hand. "Yeah. A whole arm actually." Peter rolled up his sleeve.
Bucky looked at the arm, examining it carefully.
"It's like yours."
Bucky looked up at Peter.
"Pretty cool, no?" Peter smiled at Bucky.
Bucky gave Peter a soft smile.
"Where's Buck?"
Bucky heard near him.
It was Steve, who was being helped by Sam.
"Well, I gotta go kid. I've gotta pay respects to an old buddy of mine." Bucky told Peter.
"There he is." Sam said.
"It was nice talking to you." Peter said.
"You too, kid."
"Buck, get over here."
"Oh, sometimes I can still hear his voice." Bucky teased.
"Quit telling everyone I'm dead." Steve said.
"Barnes!" Sam called.
"Well, gotta go kid." Bucky said, walking away. "Coming, you old fossil."
Peter laughed and turned around to see that Ned was gone.
"Ned?" He looked around. "Ned!" He called.
"Pe-"
"AH!" Peter jumped a little. He laughed once he saw Ned behind him. "Geez, don't do that."
"I just went to get some more ketchup. Dude, it's like unlimited." He said.
"Take me." Peter said.
