Chapter 1: You're my best friend

Peter's POV

"For the last time, Ned. We are not using Mr. Stark to get us the new Lego Millennium Falcon!" Peter argued with his friend.

"And I'm just saying, if he's going to act like your dad, he might as well-"

"He's not my dad!" Peter interrupted.

Ned scoffed. "You should tell him that."

Peter and Ned were walking on an unusually quiet street on a dark New York night. They had stayed late after school to work on a project, but lost track of time. Peter knew that Aunt May was not going to be very happy, seeing as he originally promised to have dinner with her.

"Look, man. I'll catch up with you..." he trailed off as something caught his attention. He couldn't place it, but he knew something, somewhere nearby, was off. It was… wrong, somehow.

Ned noticed the look of Peter's face. "What?"

"Wait here." Peter said before heading off around the corner. He gripped the strap of his backpack tighter, remembering the suit that was held within.

"Wait!" Ned called after him. Peter noticed that Ned was following him, but he was so focused on finding whatever it was that made him feel so uneasy that he didn't try to stop him.

When they rounded the final corner, Peter found what he was looking for.

"Woah" Ned breathed. What they were looking at was a glowing blue oval, roughly the size of a door. It was floating in the middle of the street. "What is that?"

"I don't know," Peter replied. "I've never seen anything like it."

"I want to touch it," Ned said in awe.

Peter was taken aback. "You want to what? Ned, we have no clue what this thing is!"

"I'm going to do it."

"No!"

"There's no stopping me now."

"Ned! Wai-"

Peter was cut off by Ned touching the glowing oval. Peter was blinded by the flash of light that flared from where Ned had been standing. And then, in the blink of an eye, it was over.

"Woah, dude. That was crazy," Peter said quietly. When he started to get his vision back, he looked around for a sight of his friend. "Ned?"

Even though the glowing oval was still there, Ned was nowhere to be seen. "Ned? This isn't funny!" Peter yelled.

When, after a minute, nobody had replied, Peter looked back at the glowing oval, or should he say portal, floating in the street.

"This is a terrible idea," he muttered to himself as he walked closer to it. He slowly reached his hand towards it, dreading what he was about to do. "Here goes nothing…"

And there you go! The next chapter should be out within a week.
