Time passed quickly and Aunt Mei finished the cake in time for the new neighbor's arrival.
We were currently waiting for Mrs. Meredith to bring her niece here to celebrate her arrival, but I was actually more focused on forming a plan for the visit to Osborn.
In the comics during the school trip Peter would be bitten by a genetically altered spider which would give Peter his powers, at least it was in the original version, but in this world I'm not sure what the bite could do to me.
I could even turn into a 6-armed monster or die from the sting.
I am not leaving my future to chance, so I am planning to take the spider and use it to synthesize a serum that will give me the powers I need.
That is the safest option.
While I was deep in thought, Mrs. Meredith came in and brought someone else with her.
"Hoo ... May… .I hope that what I smell is your famous pumpkin pie, when I told my niece about it, she almost drool,"
"Of course it's pumpkin pie, only the best for our new neighbor, is that her?"
Mei's eyes focus on the girl next to Meredith,
She is a beautiful red-haired girl, tall and with a good figure,
She introduces herself to May,
"Nice to meet you, my name is Mary Jane Watson and I will be your neighbor"
"Hoo…. But what a beautiful young lady, it is a pleasure to have you here, my name is May Parker, I live here with my husband and my nephew. "
"let me introduce you to my nephew," May tells Mary Jane.
I positioned myself next to Mei and with a calm greeting (without being affected by the red-haired beauty) I introduced myself.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Peter Parker, May's nephew and now also your neighbor."
The greeting was perfect, I said it in a relaxed way, without stuttering, and with my eyes focused on her face (and, not on her sensual body)
(I always thought that the female Marvel characters were drawn very exaggeratedly sexy, but the real version is not far behind compared to the version of the comics, ... Is she really a high school student? ...)
(I always preferred blondes, and although I never liked Mary Jane in the comics, I have to admit that she is beautiful,)
My thoughts were interrupted when Mrs. Meredith spoke.
"Peter, how about you take Mary Jane on a neighborhood tour? Mei and I have a lot to talk about and if they stay here we just bore them with our old people's talk," Meredith said.
"But what about the cake?, .." I asked.
"Don't worry we'll save you some slices, what do you think MJ?" Meredith asked Mary Jane.
"Sounds good ... let's go out for a bit Peter."
"If that's what you want then let's go out ..."
And so MJ and I left the house to visit the neighborhood.
(But before leaving, poetry swear I saw Aunt May smile suspiciously)

Time skip (minutes later)
Mary Jane and I went out for a walk for a while, and at first it was quiet, until she spoke.
"And ... your aunt usually does this kind of thing?…"
"Which part? ... Welcoming the new neighbors, or trying to match me up with a girl, like he did with you with the help of your aunt."
".... Both ... "She replies, surprised by my sincerity.
"Not,…. it doesn't, ... but my aunt and yours are very good friends, it is natural that they want something to happen between us "
"You say it as if you accept it,"
"That they want something to happen does not mean that it will happen, I hardly know you and although we knew each other better, I doubt that we would establish anything more than a friendship," I replied.
"Am I not pretty enough to move the heart of the little genius? ... Or does that heart already have an owner?" MJ asks as a joke.
"… ..You don't need to pretend to be the cheerful high school girl with me girl… ..that just fools cheerleaders and idiots ..."
She stops for a moment and after a while in silence she speaks again.
"... .when did you find out? .." MJ asks
"Since you entered the house, ...…. Your way of speaking, your posture, your expressions, all were too perfect, as if you had touched them much."
"Aunt Meredith wasn't lying when she said you were some kind of super genius ... ..you won't ask why I do it? ..."
"No ... .it's none of my business… ..just please don't do it when you talk to me, it's annoying." I told him my honest opinion.
"...… I was not very popular in my previous school,… and I decided that this move would be my chance to redeem myself…. That's why I practiced this attitude so much ... .but it seems that it was not enough"
"Don't worry… ..it was a very good performance, I'm sure you will fool most of the people in school."
"... ... you and I will get along very well Parker ... Don't worry when I get popular I'll help you at school." Says MJ
"Just tell me Peter… and I hope you will one day ...."
that's how my friendship with Mary Jane began.

what did you think?
I tried to give Mary Jane a bit more realistic and shy personality,
eventually she will become the brave and fearless Mary Jane Watson that we all know.
