//------------------------------// // Spider-Mane is Born // Story: A Fresh Start // by ultspideyfan //------------------------------// Pinkie Pie's morning went like any other morning. She kept an eye on the shop, gave out pastries, and had some conversation with some of the town's folk. Today though she wanted to show her friends the video she recorded last night. Pinkie remembered the events that transpired. Four crooks broke in the bakery, for some unknown reason, and then a stallion calling himself Spider-Mane stopped the crooks with ease. *The Apple Farm* "Alright Pinkie, what y'all want to show me that's so important?" Pinkie pulled out her phone and played the video for Applejack. The video wasn't that long as Pinkie wasn't able to record the whole fight. "You should see what he does!" Pinkie couldn't contain her excitement. The memory of seeing Spider-Mane take out the four crooks with ease was amazing. Spider-Mane flipped over one of the goons, attaching two lines of some sort to the crook and tossed him over his head, and into the brick wall. "Ooo sorry bout that. You okay?" Applejack continued watching as Spider-Mane webbed all the crooks, he even called out two of the names! The video ended with the hero leaving the shop. "Was that cool or what!?" "Why didn't y'all tell us bout this when it happened?" "I got caught in all the excitement that I forgot to tell you girls, sorry." "If this happens again, tell us. Just glad that stallion was there when you needed him." Then a thought crossed Aj's mind. "Say Pinkie, do y'all know why they were tryin to rob the bakery?" Pinkie's answer was a simple shrug. Peter's morning was a morning that he wasn't prepared for. Ponyville seemed to have a criminal underground nearby and since he was the only costumed hero around, he was the only one who stood in there way. The first crime that Peter stopped was a mugging. Nothing new. The ones after that turned into a complete nightmare. Peter ended up getting into a fight with guys who had stolen some alien tech from Manehattan, which didn't end well for him. Peter then had to rescue ponies from a burning building, which resulted in him torching his suit. He then had to go up against some of the royal guards who were apparently ordered to take him down. "What happened to Ponyville's a great place to take a break?" Peter stuffed his torn costume into a bag, then threw said bag into his closet. Bzzzz. Peter fired a web line at his phone yanking it over. "Hey Trixie, what's up? Wait. You want to meet your *ugh* fine." Peter hung up and sighed. "Better put on something presentable." "So, how's he like?" Rarity asked. Trxie had gathered her friends at Ponyville's famous cafe. "Well he's selfless, a huge nerd like Twilight, he's handsome I guess, and he's my roommate." "Y'all seem to share a history with each other." " Well, Pete's been my friend since I could learn to walk. Our parents knew each other, they were close according to May. Then they died on that plane. Me and Pete are like brother and sister." Rainbow couldn't believe what she had heard. Trixie and this Parker guy's parents died on a plane. "My parents were killed on the same day of that crash, according to those—" "Peter! So glad you could show up. Girls this is Peter Parker." "I'm Twilight Sparkle. Trixie told me that your a, in her terms, "a huge nerd." So, uhh what's your major in?" "Science all the way. I worked with Dr. Connors back at Manehattan. Now I'm trying to find some work here. So far, no luck." "I could get you in at Octavius Industries. He's a wonderful guy who wants to help people. The pay isn't much, but—" " I'm Pinkie Pie!" Peter shook Pinkie's hand, her smile not faltering in the slightest. "I'm gonna go on a limb and say that your the one who's always hyper." Pinkie nodded. "I'm Rainbow Dash, the most awesome girl you'll ever meet." "You remind me of an old friend." "I'm Applejack. Pleasure to meet ya Mr. Parker." "Pleasure to meet y'all Ms. Apple." "I'm Fluttershy. You might recognize me from somewhere." "Yeah I remember you! You were always with that one guy and his brothers. Are you two an item?" Fluttershy nodded. " I'm Rarity. It's a pleasure to finally meet you Mr. Parker." "Yeah. It was nice meeting your friends Trixie, but I gotta head on home." Nightfall had struck Ponyville. Everypony had turned out their lights and went to sleep, one pony however was busy awake in his bedroom working on something. Peter finished placing his mark two web shooters on his wristbands. Peter had worked the remainder of the day working on a new suit, his old one being torn to shreds. The costume's black spider popped off the chest. The red one on the back did as well. The lenses to his mask were resting on top of his mask, Peter making sure they wouldn't fall off. The suit was finally finished, but now all that was left was a test. Peter zipped through the nightlit sky. The suit's red and blue colors had stayed. The costume was also fitted with a web pattern that went all around the red. "Look out Ponyville, here comes the Amazing Spider-Mane!"
