Peter, Twilight, and William were all at the smoothie shop. "Did you see all those spiders they had back there?! That was awes---ow, brain freeze." Twilight and William laughed at Peter's little dilemma. 

"Yeah, you don't chug these type of drinks Apple." Peter took quick note of that once his brain stopped aching. Unknown to the three fillies, a spider was making it's way towards Peter!

'Don't move, don't move, don't move!' Peter finished his smoothie, just as Kaine crawled onto his neck. 

"Anyways, thanks for inviting us over for smoothies William." Twilight said. 

"No, thank you guys for showi---"

"OW!!!!" Peter's sudden outcry startled William and Twilight.

"Are you alright Peter?" Twilight began to search for anything wrong with Peter. "Uhh...P-Peter...I don't want to startle you, but...I think a spider bit you." Peter looked at Twilight, worry was written all over his face. That didn't last long as Peter passed out. 

"Peter, Peter, Peter wake up!!!" Peter knew that voice from anywhere.

"Twily, i-is that you?"

"Yes it is, a-are you okay???" Peter didn't respond immediately, noticing that his vision was one hundred times better than before. 

"What happened? Where's Willie???" 

"Talking with your mom. Your contacts fell out as soon as you lost consciousness. I don't know why though, they just...fell out." Peter knew that wasn't right. His contacts seemed to be stuck in his eyes, at least, that's what his dad had told him. 

"Thank you two for telling me this as soon as possible. I will see to it that Peter will be taken care of." Twilight and William nodded. As William left the palace, Twilight stayed behind to look at Peter one last time. 

"Will he be okay?" Twilight asked worryingly.

"Knowing my Peter, he'll be okay by tomorrow." Twilight's spirits were lifted by those words. She galloped out of the palace, feeling safe to leave her friend, with his mother of course. 

"Peter...I can explain the spider bite. Your uncle...Peter...where did you go?"

"Look up." Mary did what Peter said, seeing her son perched on the ceiling. "This is so cool. That spider must have given me some...uh...spider powers! Yeah, that sounds right." Mary's heart nearly skipped a beat. Her Peter, was taking this very...calmly. If it were her who got these powers, she would've had a heart attack. 

'Now we must wait and see the path that Peter will take.'
