Frustrations

One hour later, Peter and Twilight went to the Carousel Boutique, Peter felt really guilty for what he had said to Sweetie Belle and wanted desperately to make things right with her. They had eventually arrived at the front door, "Time to fix this". Peter had approached and knocked on the door, eagerly waiting for it to open.

They heard some hoofsteps and the door was opened by Rarity, who looked displeased to see Peter.

"Hey Rarity, is Sweetie Belle-" the door was slammed then in his face, earning an exasperated sigh, "I had that coming I guess".

Twilight looked furious at that and banged angrily on the door, "Rarity, open up right now!"

After some banging, Rarity opened the door, still looking very annoyed, "What is it!?"

Twilight looked very displeased, "First off don't ever slam the door in Peter's face, the only one who can slam the door on him is me! Second Peter has something to say to Sweetie Belle."

"I think he's said enough, she just came here 10 minutes ago, she looked really upset too. She said you said some stuff to her, I don't like knowing that she had been yelled at by you two!"

Twilight's frustrations grew, "Do you even know why we yelled at her!?"

Rarity shook her head, though still looked angry, "She didn't go into detail, but I doubt it was justified. If there's an issue with my sister, let me know so I can handle it, just like I know you don't like anyone but yourself getting angry at Peter. I still remember the time you nearly ripped Applejack's head off just because she said something to Peter that you found offensive".

Peter groaned at that memory, he had been in such a rush to finish up on a Winter-Wrap up job so he could celebrate his daughter's birthday that he accidentally damaged Applejack's barn with a large pile of snow. Needless to say, she wasn't too happy.

Twilight's ire grew however, "The difference is that Peter didn't meant to damage her barn, so she had no business yelling at him and calling him out on it like she did! She knows he has a guilt complex she didn't need to make him feel worse!"

Rarity scrunched her face, "Just like you had no business treating Sweetie Belle the way you did, regardless of whether she intended to or not. She doesn't wanna leave her room right now, so whatever it is Peter wanted to say to her, it's gonna have to wait, now good-bye!" she slammed the door again. Twilight had half a mind to blow the door down and rip Rarity a new one but she relaxed a bit and went to Peter, "Maybe later".

Peter sighed, "I shouldn't have been so hard...I know she did something stupid, but she's young and in love, I just hope she gets my message that I don't love her like that."

Twilight patted Peter a bit, "I'm sure she will, cause I sure got it, the bright side to this is seeing how much you truly love me".

Peter nodded, "Yeah, it's weird because I still imagined the adult one, that's probably why I lost my cool".

"You lost it because you hate that someone you don't love made a move on you, and the fact is that you did it without knowing I was there, so I can feel reassured that if I'm not ever there you'd still tell someone off if they tried kissing you".

Peter smiled to her, "Only you may kiss me Twilight, as long as only I can kiss you".

Twilight and Peter shared a kiss and nuzzled against each other. Sweetie Belle watched the two from her window and sighed, "I have no chance with him...the stallion of my dreams is gone...*sigh* maybe Vega's right, I should move on...maybe he'll take me, he's already hit on me so many times, plus he's really handsome...maybe a different kind from Peter, but handsome nonetheless".

Rarity dusted a bit when she heard the doorbell, "Another visitor?"

She opened and found Rumble standing there with his brother.

"Hi Miss Rarity, is Sweetie Belle ready for our date?" Rumble asked.

Rarity had a look of concern, "Um...the thing is dear, she's not in a good mood right now, she just had a bit of a spat and she's very upset, I don't think now's the time to take her anywhere".

Rumble looked disappointed at the news, "Aw...wait what happened? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Rarity shook her head, "That's sweet of you dear, but for now she just needs to be alone for a moment, then-"

"Rarity! Who's at the door!?" Sweetie called.

"It's Rumble!" Rarity called back.

"Send him up please, I want to talk to him a moment!" Sweetie shouted.

Rarity nodded, "Ok!" she turned to Rumble, "Well it looks like she could use your company, do try to make my sister feel better would you dear?"

Rumble nodded, "Sure thing Miss Rarity."

"You can just call me 'Rarity' dear", Rarity said with a friendly smile.

Rumble nodded, "Ok Rarity, I'll make her feel better", he went up to find Sweetie Belle, Rarity turned to Thunderlane, "Would you like to come in a moment?"

Thunderlane nodded, "Sure thing, probably won't take long for them to talk about whatever".

The two went inside and sat down together on a couch, Rarity had used her magic to bring over a tea pot and some cups, "Care for some tea?"

Thunderlane shook his head, "No thanks, don't like it too much"

"That's quite alright, not many of my friends drink it, I usually drink alone", she poured herself a cup, "You're brother is absolutely adorable by the way".

"I've been told that, he's pretty well liked by mares, though he's also nervous with fillies so..."

Rarity sipped her tea, "He just needs to be himself, a filly likes that in a colt".

Thunderlane nodded, "Yeah I guess", he sat there a bit, unsure of what to say, so he said the first thing that popped into his mind, "So why was Sweetie Belle so upset if I may ask?"

Rarity sighed, "She had gotten into a bit of a disagreement with Twilight Sparkle & Peter Parker, they came down a little hard in her".

Thunderlane huffed a bit, "Peter Parker...I have to admit, the dude is overrated."

Rarity looked surprised, "Beg your pardon?"

"I mean", Thunderlane rubbed his head to get his thoughts in line, "The guy is considered a great hero, all the mares seem to love him, even to this day after he was married and had a foal, and I realize he's saved his world and ours so many times, but there's just something about him like...what is the big deal about him?" Thunderlane looked to Rarity, "I know he's your friend and that he saved your life once so obviously you have some emotional attachment to him but..."

Rarity patted his hoof, "Go on dear, speak your mind".

Thunderlane nodded, "It's just that, I don't get his appeal, one he lied to all of us about being from another world, I mean sure I can overlook that since he likely would be afraid of being judged, but he nearly got our world and his world destroyed. Plus for some reason people forgive him just because he captured some burglar in Manehatten and they pretend nothing happened, wasn't it stated that the burglar in question came from his world? I mean she fits the description of the Black Cat from Princess Twilight's book, she's even called by the same name in the Manehatten Times".

Rarity nodded her head, showing she was listening and paying mind to his thoughts, Thunderlane continued his speech, "It's just so weird that she could somehow elude officials and keep from being spotted for so long, and somehow Spider-Mane caught her right away, someone from his world, something that Luna herself attended to, for all we know it was one big set-up, but regardless everypony loves him again, especially the mares".

Rarity nodded, "He has quite a charm I would say."

"But that's the thing", Thunderlane stood up to speak, "The mares, why do so many mares like him, they treat him like a God, or the most good looking guy in Equestria, I can't tell you how many mares talk about him. Octavia talks about him, Lyra talks about him, Bon Bon talks about him, your friends, your sister, Derpy Hooves, I heard that even Spitfire has talked about him quite a bit", Thunderlane looked Rarity right in the face, "And it's not just me that feels this way, just ask any of the guys".

Rarity blinked, "The guys? Which ones?"

"Well for one, you know Doctor Hooves right? The one with the hourglass Cutie Mark?"

Rarity nodded, Thunderlane continued, "He has been in a relationship with Derpy, playing a good paternal role to that Dinky Do filly that Derpy took in years ago, yet Derpy still talks about Peter Parker so much, Doc seems so concerned that a mare he would love to be move involved with seems so obsessed with Peter Parker."

"Derpy just idolizes Peter, I'm sure she cares for Doctor Hooves, he has been very nice to her and Dinky", Rarity explained.

"Right, well Doc's a bit concerned, but beyond that, there's also Soarin, I actually had a chance to talk to him the other day", Thunderlane chuckled a bit, "Lucky me right? I got to talk with a Wonderbolt".

Rarity nodded, so Thunderlane continued, "He also expressed some frustration over Peter, Spitfire constantly talks about him, rumor is she has looked into harem marriages, she wants in on the Parker-Sparkle marriage".

Rarity looked surprised, "That's probably a silly rumor".

"Not according to Soarin, but seriously, a lot of stallions can't see the appeal to Peter, I mean there are a select few that do respect him for being a great hero but I guess it's mostly those who are worried of losing their mares to Peter".

Rarity put her tea down and crossed her arms as if in deep thought, "You're pretty vocal about Peter, and I will say that he isn't perfect, far from it, but that's one thing that most like about him, that he's pretty much like them, except he has powers".

"So without those powers, he's just some loser?"

Rarity shrugged, "Not sure, if he didn't have those powers, he never would have even been here, though I wouldn't say he would be a loser, he's very intelligent, I think he would have been quite successful".

Thunderlane scoffed, "Still, somehow I feel like he should have gone home, but no, he knocks up the princess and now he's stuck here, and honestly weren't they under 21 when she was born? I mean they were teen parents, that just screams irresponsible, pretty hypocritical for a guy who spouts out the phase 'With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility', that also made Twilight look bad, she really should have known better."

Rarity looked a bit displeased, "Twilight's hardly to blame, they were human when it happened and Twilight didn't know that humans don't have a heat cycle, besides Peter did at least marry Twilight, they did take responsibility for their actions, they're not immune to mistakes, it's what you do with those mistakes that decide how well you take responsibility".

Thunderlane rolled his eyes, "Still their marriage just seemed forced too, like 'Oh I knocked this girl up, better marry her', like seriously!"

"Thunderlane!", Rarity stood up a bit angrily, "I can assure you that Peter and Twilight do truly love each other, and I honestly believe that Peter would have married Twilight regardless of whether he got Twilight pregnant or not".

Thunderlane made a cocky looking face, like if he didn't really buy it, "Tch, I hope so, honestly he didn't set that good of an example. Luckily my brother isn't too influenced by Peter, otherwise I'm sure he would have gotten some filly knocked up like that".

Rarity furrowed her brow at Thunderlane, "You're being a little unfair Thunderlane, Peter is a great stallion, he makes mistakes but all of us do, that's what makes him human...or rather equine".

Thunderlane rubbed his head, he was really getting a headache from this, "I know he makes mistakes, but somehow it seems like he's treated like he's better than everypony, personally it agitates me to no end, he's overrated and has had everything handed to him! It's not fair to other ponies who deserve it more than he does!"

Rarity was getting frustrated, "Thunderlane! Enough, I understand your frustrations but until you meet Peter personally it really isn't fair to judge him that much, you need to understand all the struggles he's been though, quite honestly we're just happy that he's alright after fighting for us so often, don't focus on his personal life too much, focus on the fact that he constantly fights for everypony".

Thunderlane sighed, "Just a moment ago you said something about Peter upsetting your sister, based on your tone you weren't too happy about it."

"I'm not happy, but that doesn't mean I want to hear all these bad things about him, I just had a little rift with him. And like all rifts between friends, it'll pass, he's not just my friend's husband, more than that, he's my friend as well. I will forgive him for what he may have said to my sister, because that's what friends do, I still care about Peter, I still consider him to be an ideal coltfriend & husband. Truth be told I always say how much I envy Twilight for having him, but at the same time I'm so happy for Twilight, please just give him a chance Thunderlane", she patted his shoulder, "You both have the same hero spirit...I still haven't forgotten the time when you saved my life, just as Peter once did"

Thunderlane recalled the time she nearly got knocked off that hot air balloon thanks to Lightning Dust, how luckily he was there to catch her, "Yeah, I did save you".

Rarity nodded, "You both have great hearts, I'm sure you can be a good friend to Peter."

Thunderlane crossed his arms, a bit unsure, "I can probably give it a shot, still got my doubts though".

Rarity gave him a reassuring mile, "I have confidence those doubts will wash away".

Soon Rumble came downstairs, he looked a bit upset.

"Hey bro, what's wrong?" Thunderlane asked.

"Nothing...let's just go home", Rumble said, barely wanting to talk.

Rarity and Thunderlane looked concerned. "Is everything alright dear?" Rarity asked.

"It's fine, don't worry about me", Rumble said.

Rarity was still concerned for him, "But you look so...unhappy, did my sister say anything to you?"

"I'm fine Mis...er, Rarity, don't worry, see", Rumble put on a smile, though clearly fake.

Rarity did not want to press the issue though, obviously Rumble didn't want to talk about it yet, "If you say so darling, but if something happened you can tell me, or better yet, you can tell your brother".

Rumble nodded, "I will, come on Thunder", Rumble left, Thunderlane following him, then he turned Rarity, "I'm sorry I vented out like that, it just happened I guess".

"Don't worry, I did tell you to speak your mind, I may not have liked what I heard but you have a right to say what you feel", Rarity reassured.

"Thanks, I'll see you later Rarity".

Rarity waved good-bye and closed her door, somewhat worried about Sweetie Belle, "I hope she didn't vent her frustrations on that poor little colt".

Upstairs Sweetie was resting on her bed, recalling what she had said to Rumble.

-Flashback-

"Rumble, I'm sorry, but I don't think there's a chance for us to work out", Sweetie Belle said, plain and simple wise.

"Huh? why not?" Rumble looked a bit distraught, "Was it something I said? I swear I didn't mean it!"

Sweetie shook her head, "No...there's somepony else".

"It's not Peter Parker is it? He's married, and my brother says he's a chump".

Sweetie looked displeased at that, "It's not Peter, and he's not a chump! It's another handsome guy, he's so dreamy and has the sweetest accent".

Rumble looked upset, "So you don't want to see me anymore?"

Sweetie shook her head, "Oh I do, I need a cover, see he's the bad boy type, the one my sister and parents would never in a million years let me date, so I'm gonna need you as a cover".

Rumble raised his eyebrow, "A cover? Why should I be your cover?"

"Because if you do, I can make it worth your while", Sweetie said in a convincing voice.

Rumble looked curious, "How so?"

"You remember my friends? Apple Bloom and Scootaloo?" Rumble nodded, Sweetie continued, "I can probably hook you up with one of them if you help me".

Rumble thought a moment, "This doesn't feel right though".

Sweetie shrugged, "Hey you're choice, I'm still gonna be with this guy, but if you help me, you'll still have a marefriend".

Rumble sighed, "I'm not sure".

Sweetie grew aggravated, "Look, I'll give you a day to think about it, that's all though, you want a marefriend, you gotta do what I ask, and DON'T tell anypony about this, remember it's my word against yours. Besides my handsome stallion won't take too kindly to that, you got it!?" She had gotten in his face, her eyes showing that she's not messing around.

Rumble gulped, "Yes Sweetie Belle".

"Good, now run along now", Sweetie said while pointing to the door.

-End Flashback-

Sweetie could only daydream now over Vega, though soon she felt a tap on her window, when she opened it, all that was there was a note with a flower on it, the note read, 'My little beauty, I will see you tomorrow around noon by the lake in the park, I look forward to seeing your beautiful face, until we see each other, mi amor".

Sweetie hugged the note and sniffed her flower as she went back on her bed, "Oh Vega...you know how to charm a filly".

Outside, Vega had watched in secret as Sweetie grabbed the note, he had a sly grin, "This is too easy", he flew off with his evil laugh.

A little later, back at the Parker-Sparkle house, Peter was laying on the couch, his guilt over what he said to Sweetie Belle was eating away at him, soon he was approached by Trixie, Spike & Logan.

"Peter, are you ok? You look kinda down, a bit more than usual", Trixie said.

"Is this about Sweetie Belle?" Spike asked.

Peter sadly nodded, "Yeah...you should have been there, I was such a jerk to her", Peter held a pillow over his head, "I needed to handle that better".

"Quit yer worrying Parker, she'll get over it, once she comes back then you can apologize to her", Logan said.

"If she wants to come back", he tossed the pillow, "I just feel so frustrated over all this".

"You mind telling us exactly why Sweetie Belle bugs you so much?" Spike asked.

Peter sighed, "It's complicated, the only other one who knows what happened is Twilight, but it's a huge regret of mine"

Trixie and Spike sat on each side of Peter. "You can trust us Peter, we're family", Spike said.

"Spike's correct, family is here to help, no matter how bad it seems", Trixie said.

"You also gotta learn to trust yer friends Parker, one thing about you is that you have a hard time letting your friends and family in on your problems. I mean it's good that Twilight knows but having others know can help you", Logan stated.

Peter felt a bit more relieved, "Yeah, you're all right, maybe I should just come clean...but not now...I want everypony to be here".

"Everypony? All our friends?" Spike asked.

"Yeah, tomorrow I make my big reveal, right now I think it's best if we got ready for bed, it's getting late", Peter said.

Trixie nodded, "Right then...we'll gather everypony tomorrow to meet here"

Peter nodded, then heard Twilight calling in a sing-song voice, "Oh Peter! I need a brave handsome knight to rescue me from my urges".

Peter knew what that meant, "If you all don't mind, I have a very beautiful mare to get to", he quickly scurried upstairs to Twilight.

"I swear they constantly act like a couple of horny kids", Wolverine said, much to the discomfort of Spike and Trixie.

Meanwhile at the Everfree forest, Wesker was testing out the new recruits he got, they seemed to do well against the monsters, especially his favorite among them, Laura Kinney, AKA X-23.

A Timberwolf had lunched at her but she quickly moved around and slashed at it, not relenting on her assault. Despite the Timberwolves abilities to re-attach themselves, X-23's quickness was too much for it to handle as she tore it apart.

Shocker also watched, he hated being there honestly but he was needed to take any of them back to the Marvel world if needed.

Vergil approached Wesker, "How are the recruits doing?"

"Gambit and Iceman are fine, but X-23 is a league of her own, she has the speed, the skills, very similar to Jill Valentine, except a lot more efficient, plus those claws help", Wesker said.

Bison also stepped forward, "She also reminds me of The Dolls, specifically Cammy White"

Wesker nodded, "She has potential, but killing these monsters won't be enough, we really need to test her out soon".

"How so?" Vergil asked.

"First thing's first, we need to pay a little visit to Spider-Man and his friends tomorrow, I want to lay my offer on the table, his decision will decide the fate of this world, I just hope he chooses wisely".

Vergil nodded, "Sounds like a good plan...maybe tomorrow I can have my chance of getting that Fluttershy girl to join my side as well"

Wesker grinned, "Right...plus based on the info Vega has given us, I'd say that we have a lot of good ammunition to use against Peter and his friends".

Wesker then got a call from Doom, "What is it Victor?"

"There is a problem here, Interpol and The BSAA have began their infiltration, they're looking for you Wesker".

Wesker groaned, "Chris...Any details I should be aware of? How close are they? Do they have access to this world?"

"Not sure, they do have some form of magic on their side thanks to their recruiting of the mercenaries from the Devils Never Cry business, should Interpol and The BSAA get all the evidence they need, I fear for a full on war that could compromise our plans".

Wesker let out a heavy sigh, "We might need to move fast then, tomorrow I will make my move against Spider-Man, then afterwards we're going to attack one of the Kingdoms, set up a base there, maybe even recruit a few followers, be ready if I need you to send over any other controlled hero, or any villains from your world or mine".

"Will do, hurry up Wesker, and don't screw this up, Doom out!"

Doom had hung up, Wesker slammed his hoof against a tree angrily, knocking the tree over and surprising Shocker. "Wow, strong guy, remind me not to get on his bad side".

"Sounds like my brother and Bison's good friend Chun Li are closer than we feared", Vergil stated.

"This could be an issue, hopefully things will go well tomorrow, we all need to prepare ourselves", Wesker stated.

"And if they don't?"

Wesker turned to Vergil, "I have back-up plans"

Vergil nodded, Wesker turned to Shocker, "I need you to stay with our captives tomorrow, if I need you I will radio you, but don't let them get spotted just yet".

Shocker nodded, "Sure, whatever you say boss".

Wesker called out, "Vega!"

Vega flew to Wesker, "What do you require seƱor?"

"I need you to find that Lightning Dust pony, and ask that little mare about any other pony that has some sort of grudge with the Elements of Harmony".

Vega made a confident smile, "That should be no problem, I have a date with that girl tomorrow, once I get the info I'll find that other pony".

Vergil cringed, "Must you call it a date? Isn't she a bit younger than you?"

Vega rolled his eyes, "She's a pony, what difference does it make, besides she's a teenager, in like 5 years you won't even notice the age difference".

Vergil sighed, "Whatever you say Vega".

Wesker nodded, "Good, be prepared for tomorrow gentlemen, Parker will get an offer he shouldn't refuse", Wesker's eyes glowed with evil intention.
