Chapter 2
Memories
The sun shown in the sky, but thanks to the black cloud that hovered over Equestria, no one could see it. Twilight Sparkle had been in her house, sitting on her bed, looking at old pictures of her and a unicorn stallion. She levitated one to her, seeing the stallion made her heart skip a beat, but it didn't feel the same. She wanted to see him in person, it had been far too long since she's seen him. "Why are you hiding Peter? You were the one who was never afraid of any evil you faced, yet, your hiding away on your farm." Twilight closed her eyes, wanting to recall all her old memories with Peter Pony Parker Apple.
Twilight trotted down to Sweet Apple Acres, with a present for her coltfriend. Twilight finally made it to the Apple families farm, seeing her stallion, bucking a few apple trees with his sister, Applejack. "If ya buck too hard, y'all will put a hole in the tree." Applejack teased. Peter looked over to his sister with a dumbfounded expression.
"Hey! I don't buck that hard!" Peter was acting like a filly again, causing Twilight to giggle to herself.
"There there. It's okay." Applejack placed hoof on Peter's mane, treating like a filly.
"I'm not a filly ya know."
"I know that, but you sure are acting like one." If Applejack wasn't family, then Peter would have blown a fuse!
'He doesn't like it when he's treated like a filly.' Twilight took note of that. "Peter!" Twilight called out to the unicorn. Peter cocked his head to the sound of his name, only to see Twilight Sparkle. Peter trotted over to her, noticing the box.
"What's in the box?" Before she could set it down, the box was engulfed in a blue aura. Peter opened the box and grabbed one of the cupcakes. "Cupcakes, for me? Y'all shouldn't have." Peter ate the cupcake, giving Twilight a hug as he stuffed another one in his mouth.
"Twilight. Twilight. Twilight!!!" Twilight opened her eyes, to see Spike. "Are you okay?" Twilight looked down at the picture. "Twilight, are you crying?" Twilight looked up at Spike, her cheeks were stained with tears.
"I miss him. I miss him so much Spike." Spike wrapped his arms around Twilight, comforting his friend.
"I miss him too Twilight." Spike paused and looked out the window.
"Come on Spike! Keep up!" Peter did a full on gallop before jumping high into the night sky. Peter fired a web-line and zipped through the streets. Spike tried keeping up with the hero, but it proved to be pointless.
"Alright you win. Your faster than the Iron-Spider." Peter landed on his barn, looking out over the farm. Spike landed next to him, removing the helmet as he sat.
"I want to tell you something Spike." Spike looked at Peter, the mask blocking his facial expression. "If there comes a time when heroes are gone, never lose hope. We will always return. And I promise you that Spike. If I don't return, y'all better pester me until I do." Spike laughed. He finally stopped when he noticed Peter wasn't laughing. "Promise me you'll find me if that ever happens." Spike looked at Peter. The hero's white lenses were staring deep into his very being.
"I promise."
Spike snapped back into reality. He looked down at Twilight, a smile plastered on his face. "Tomorrow, we bring back Spider-Mane." Twilight looked up at Spike.
"How?" Spike looked at a picture of him and Peter. His words echoed in his mind.
"If I don't return, y'all better pester me until I do."
"We're going to agitate the spider within him."
