With a few minutes left until midnight, Danny ran back to meet up with MJ. āWhere have you been?ā MJ exclaimed as if he didnāt already know Danny was Spider-Man. āI got a picture with Spider-Woman!ā He said as he showed Danny his phone.
Danny rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. āUmā¦ running in fearā¦ā Danny lied. āIām not going to stick around with some maniac on the looseā¦ā Dannyās heart raced as he tried to maintain his composure under MJās scrutinizing gaze. He knew he wasnāt the best liar, especially when it came to MJ.
MJ raised an eyebrow.
āReally? Running from a maniac? This coming from the same guy that took on Skyler?ā MJ said.
Danny shifted uncomfortably, searching for a convincing excuse. āWell, you know, I just didnāt want to risk getting hurt, you know? I mean, Iām no superhero like the Spiders... Speaking of which, thatās a cool picture you got there.ā
MJ continued to study him for a moment before letting out a small chuckle. āAlright, Danny. I wonāt push it. Letās just enjoy the countdown and the fireworks, okay?ā
Danny breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded eagerly. āYeah, sounds good.ā
As clock counted down, the boys eagerly awaited for midnight. When it came, there was much celebration. There was fireworks and confetti.
Danny nervously asked MJ if he could have a New Years kiss.
MJ smiled apologetically. āDanny, youāre sweet, and I like you, but I donāt want you to get the wrong idea. Iām not ready for that kind of relationship right now.ā
Danny's heart sank at MJ's response, but he tried to mask his disappointment with a forced smile. "No worries, MJ. I understand." he replied, attempting to sound casual.
MJ placed a comforting hand on Danny's shoulder. "I hope you're not too disappointed. You're a great guy, Danny. It's just... I'm not looking for anything serious right now."
Danny nodded. "Yeah, I get it. No hard feelings." He wanted to be understanding, but MJ was quick to kiss Spider-Man, but Danny gets rejected. Just another reminder that Spider-Man is cool, but Danny Davis is a loser.
MJ, sensing Dannyās disappointment, did his best to help. āListen, youāre really cute and sweet. You should go out and see other people, live your best life.ā MJ suggested. āAny guy would be lucky to have you! And maybe one day, Iāll be ready.ā He winked.
Danny managed a small smile, though his heart still felt heavy with disappointment. āThanks, MJ. I appreciate it.ā he said, trying to sound grateful for the encouragement.
As they continued to watch the fireworks, Danny couldnāt help but feel a pang of jealousy as he saw couples around them sharing kisses and embracing in the New Yearās celebration. He wished things could be different between him and MJ, but he knew he had to respect his friendās boundaries.
As the festivities continued, Danny did his best to enjoy the rest of the evening with MJ and their friends, putting aside his feelings of inadequacy and focusing on the fun of the New Yearās celebration. Deep down, though, he couldnāt shake the sense of longing and disappointmet. wondering if he would ever find someone who would reciprocate his feelings.
But for now, he decided to take MJās advice and focus on living his best life, knowing that someday, he might meet someone who would appreciate him for who he was.

As Spider-Man swung through the city, his senses alert for any signs of trouble, he spotted a massive pile of sand, wreaking havoc with destructive intent.
Without hesitation, Spider-Man swooped down, landing in front the movinf. āHey, hey! Whatās going on?ā he called out.
The Sand reformed into a human. āStay out of this, Spider-Man! This is between me and Norman Osborn!ā He growled.
Spider-Manās eyes widened. āNorman Osborn? What did he do?ā He asked with genuine concern.
āHe lied to me, Spider-Man! He promised he had a cure for my daughterās leukemia, but it was all a trick. Heās responsible for what happened to me, and now heās going to pay.ā The man started to become sandy again.
Spider-Man sighed. He really felt for the guy. He was also surprised that Norman Osborn would do something like that. I mean, he knew he wasnāt the best father, but this?
āI know youāre hurting, but this isnāt the answer.ā Danny insisted. āWe can find another way to hold Osborn accountable, together. But first, we need to stop this before anyone else gets hurt.ā
The man hesitated. After a tense moment, he slowly began to stand down, his sandy form starting to solidify.
āOkay, Spider-Man. You win.ā The Sandman conceded. āBut mark my words, Osborn wonāt get away with what heās done.ā
Spider-Man nodded. āWeāll find a way to make him answer for his crimes. But for now, letās focus on helping your daughter.ā
And then, as if on cue, Norman came out, surrounded by a bunch of armed officers. āThank you Spider-Man, that will be all.ā He said as the officers apprehended the Sandman.
Danny was stunned silent. He managed to talk the guy down from killing Norman Osborn, and he gets arrested anyway. It wasnāt fair. How was he going to look Mr. Osborn in the eye when Danny Davis reports for internship with him. Even worse, how was he going to tell Harry?
