peter wants to use a cell phone for its intended purpose
[Private to Gwen S.]

Hey, so. I heard there's this thing kids used to do with cell phones where you "call" someone. I thought it was just for texting and candy crush, but apparently they have other uses. Would you be interested in giving me your number to try this "call" thing out?

	I don't know, bug boy. Calling people is pretty old-fashioned. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	We can pretend it's 1994. You got some scrunchies handy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not sure you could handle my scrunchies, Peter Parker. How about a jelly bracelet instead? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay, but I expect to hear some Backstreet Boys playing in the background. [He types out his number for her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Gwen S/Peter P ephemeras 2014-05-05 11:38 am UTC (link)
	[She calls him a few minutes later.] Your ringtone is Backstreet's Back now. You have no one to blame but yourself, bug boy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Automatically:] Which one? [Gasp, oh no.] I mean what songs...do they even...what? Haha. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Call: Gwen/Peter ephemeras 2014-05-05 11:40 am UTC (link)
	[Smile.] I had to Google, old bug boy. I can't tell what he's saying. He needs to practice enunciation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter newhorizon 2014-05-05 11:42 am UTC (link)
	Back then, girls were screaming so loud they could be singing a recipe for fried chicken and no one would be the wiser. [Smile.] Thanks for calling and stuff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter ephemeras 2014-05-05 11:44 am UTC (link)
	[The song is playing in the background.] Am I original, yeah, yeah? Really? [Smile.] Did you just want to hear my voice, Peter? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter newhorizon 2014-05-05 11:48 am UTC (link)
	[Singing, poorly:] Am I the onnnlllyy one? [Guh, no bad. Full stop, never again.] Sorry. No. That didn't happen. I didn't do that. Don't tell the Avengers please I'm begging you. [Cough. Pause.] No. I mean kind of. Yes? I just [...] I went back home for a couple months, I guess. Me and Ock. I wanted to make sure you were still being a Gwenbot here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter ephemeras 2014-05-05 11:51 am UTC (link)
	[Laughter.] I didn't press record fast enough. Oops, can you do it again? [Long pause.] Home? Was it terrible? [Another pause.] Wait. Hold on. [Cleared throat.] Was your experience in any way detrimental to your psyche? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter newhorizon 2014-05-05 11:53 am UTC (link)
	[He laughs, too. Then a small pause.] Home, yeah. Ock had control for a while and then he [...] messed up really bad. Someone he cared about was in trouble and he couldn't save her. So, he gave it back to me. All of it. Most of it. There's some stuff missing, but I remember the important things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter ephemeras 2014-05-05 11:55 am UTC (link)
	[Surprised.] Ock willingly gave you control back? Can it possibly be a trick? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter newhorizon 2014-05-05 11:57 am UTC (link)
	[Somberly.] He really messed up, Gweny. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter ephemeras 2014-05-05 11:59 am UTC (link)
	[The music shuts off.] Okay. Tell me all of it. How'd he mess up? Who was in trouble? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter newhorizon 2014-05-06 04:20 am UTC (link)
	Well. [He tries to think of where to start.] Ock got complete control again. I was still there, hiding, but he didn't think I was. While he was off feeling superior, Osborn pulled a fast one on him and turned a lot of people in the city into goblins. [...] Tell me if any of this isn't making sense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter ephemeras 2014-05-06 04:53 am UTC (link)
	You mean Mr. Osborn? No, it makes sense. Keep going. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter newhorizon 2014-05-06 04:57 am UTC (link)
	So, the city went into chaos and this girl Ock was dating- a really nice, smart and funny girl, got captured. Ock couldn't save her, he didn't know how, so he gave everything to me. [...] Well. Most. There's some things missing, but I remember most of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter ephemeras 2014-05-06 05:04 am UTC (link)
	Who was Ock dating? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter newhorizon 2014-05-06 05:15 am UTC (link)
	Her name was Anna Maria. She was [Frowning. So much Parker frowning.] really nice and smart. And, I was sorry for taking Ock away from her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter ephemeras 2014-05-06 05:24 am UTC (link)
	But you saved her. Why didn't he retake control after? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter newhorizon 2014-05-06 05:24 am UTC (link)
	[Quieter.] See? That's why I think he's gone for good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter ephemeras 2014-05-06 05:30 am UTC (link)
	[Thoughtful.] He would have come back for her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter newhorizon 2014-05-06 05:31 am UTC (link)
	[Frown.] And, now I'm back here. [....] I wanted to come back here. Really badly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter ephemeras 2014-05-06 05:37 am UTC (link)
	[Pause.] Why? When I went home, I didn't want to be there, but I didn't want to come here either. [Then, with some understanding.] Mary Jane? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter newhorizon 2014-05-06 05:42 am UTC (link)
	[Smile.] The world doesn't revolve around Mary Jane. [Though, yeah maybe sometimes it does.] There I messed up so many things. Ock messed up a lot, too. I hate not knowing you or anyone else. But, I hate not having you around even more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You're lucky you weren't around when we were in high school. I had a really impossible time understanding that my Peter was into someone else. [Small smile.] I'm currently in Mary Jane remission. I messed my own life up without any help from her. It's not her fault, and I'm glad you found someone after. [A quiet laugh.] It's been like a decade for you, hasn't it, bug boy?

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter newhorizon 2014-05-06 05:53 am UTC (link)
	What, high school? Jeez, yeah. I taught teenagers a couple years ago. That's how long it's been. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter ephemeras 2014-05-06 12:38 pm UTC (link)
	Do you wish we were older? [Pause.] The Mary Jane and Harry from your time, are they okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter newhorizon 2014-05-06 12:46 pm UTC (link)
	I haven't really thought about it. I guess, yeah, to avoid old man jokes. [That's way harder.] Uh, Mary Jane finally wised up and left me for someone way better than me and Harry. [Long pause.] I don't really want to talk about what happened to Harry, if that's cool. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter ephemeras 2014-05-06 01:07 pm UTC (link)
	[Incredulous.] Mary Jane left you? [There's a long pause when he mentions Harry.] I don't have any idea what eventually happens to him in my world, but I suspect it isn't good. But, okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Gwen/Peter newhorizon 2014-05-06 01:13 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I'm not going there. We were better as friends. Probably still are. [Trying to be funny:] Spoiler Alert: None of my relationships pan out, Gweny. My friendships barely make it and there were times that I almost lost the small amount of family I have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
