Gwen was still getting over the shock of discovering the Spider-man comic books. Finding out that not only did she and Peter stay together and were almost engaged, but that she was going to die was more than Gwen expected. She was suddenly not upset anymore about being taken to the Land of Make Believe. She began to consider maybe whoever took her did her a favor. While there was the possibility that none of the books or films aren't going to happen in Gwen's future, she didn't want to take that risk. While at the store she purchased a copy of the film and a copy of The Death of Gwen Stacy comic. She planned on watching the film later to see just how similar it was to her life before the Land of Make Believe.

Gwen did return to work the next day and forced herself to return to her routine. She went to work and ate lunch in the breakroom rather than the city. After work she stopped at the store to pick up a few half pints of Ben & Jerry's. She bought banana split for herself, AmeriCone Dream for Darcy and a brownie batter to split if they want more. She stopped at the movie rental to pick up a few swashbuckler films before heading back to the castle.

When she returned to the castle she smiled and said, "hey," to Darcy. Gwen went to set her purse and trench in her room.

"They had your AmeriCone Dream," she said when she returned to the sitting area. She held up the plastic bag with ice cream. "And I grabbed some swashbuckler adventure films. Princess Bride,
Stardust, The Mask of Zorro, and The Three Musketeers. Don't worry, no Pirates of the Caribbean." She set the movies down on the sofa before setting the ice cream on the table, ready to be eaten. Gwen offered the best smile she could to Darcy, trying to push all of the emotions away from her mind.

"That's strange," Gwen was still confused on how Darcy could exist in one version but not in the other. "Sounds like there are a lot of differences. I haven't seen the film yet, but so far besides age and the fact that I learn Peter and Spider-man are one in the same before my father's death, I haven't found anything really out there."

Gwen smiled when Darcy showed that she didn't think Gwen was crazy. Darcy seemed to understand what Gwen was saying and she was relieved. Maybe Gwen had a chance to straighten everything out and just enjoy the new time she had before she was forced to go back to New York and to her death. Gwen laughed a little as she held up her ice cream carton as well. "I'll eat to that," she said as she pretended to 'clinlk' her carton against Darcy's. She even took a spoonful of ice cream to complete the toast.

"Well, I hope it all works out to your favor," Gwen said as she opened the DVD case to get the movie out. "Yes, popcorn! Something salty would go perfectly with this sweet ice cream."

"I figure if people can show up from different dimensions, maybe it's - Thor and Jane in another me-lacking dimension. Sad for them, really." Darcy admitted with a shrug, laughing a little as Gwen went along with her idea of toasting with ice cream. The fact that they had wine coolers they could've toasted with just as easily didn't matter. It was about the fun of it in the moment.

"I'm going to be lazy and change into my PJs. I'm not going anywhere, so pajama pants ahoy. I'll call while I'm in my room." It would only take her a moment. "That can give the movie time to start up, run ads, bore you to death with ads. Is there anything else I should ask for?"

"Yes," Gwen agreed. "Their loss."

Gwen smiled nodded at Darcy when she declared changing into her PJs. "That's actually not a bad idea," she agreed, thinking of doing the same.

But first Gwen took the DVD out, started the TV and player and poped the DVD in. She waited until it had a chance to load and pressed play on the remote to confirm that yes she did want the DVD to play. As she saw the warning labels for piracy start up she went to her own room to change out of her work clothes, which were incidentally her everyday clothes as well, and into a T-shirt and pajama pants. She was pulling on a sweater over the T-shirt as she returned to the sitting area, an ad on the TV well underway.

"So, how do you like your job at the Damage Den?" Gwen asked when Darcy had returned. "Do you get a lot of strange and weird customers come in to break things? I feel like you'd see a lot of characters there." Gwen settled back on the couch, wine cooler in hand.

Darcy came out in a matching pajama top and bottom, a light blue base with silver and gold. There was a Jackson Pollock style randomness to the pattern. There wasn't any method to Darcy's madness in picking the particular set, all the same, aside from the fact it looked cool. She could be rather fashionable when she wanted.

"I actually see a lot of lawyers." Darcy admitted with a laugh. "And other suits-and-ties sorts of people. It really is fun though. Part of me thinks 'oh, I should get a better paying job' but then... hey, do I really want to go back to school? And room and utilities are kind of paid for, on the plus." She gestured around them in general, falling down into her chair in a dramatic motion before grabbing a strawberry daiquiri wine cooler and twisting it open. "What about you? Having fun with - whatever science-like thing you do with dragons?"

"Really?" Gwen supposed she shouldn't have been surprised that so many lawyers would go to the Damage Den. Their jobs were stressful enough as it was. But she had to agree with Darcy on the school front. It was in fact what Darcy had said upon her arrival about school that convinced Gwen to not enroll.

"I hear you there," Gwen said. "Like you said once, it's not as if the credits transfer over if we return. We'd have to start all over again. May as well take this as a sort of vacation."

She sat down again on the sofa next to Darcy, and picked up the remote. "It's pretty nice actually. I don't know when I'd get to work with actual dragons back home. There is a lot I don't know, granted. But, I'm getting there." Gwen pressed enter on the remote to confirm that yes, they did want the movie to play. She set the remote aside as the menu went away on the TV and the movie began to play.
