When he had signed online, Peter found himself practically ecstatic when he saw who he thought was Gwen on the boards. She hadn't seemed to remember being here before, but she was an adaptable sort of person and she would still be her so it was okay.
Except that it wasn't her at all.
Her name was Serena and she was from Tokyo and she didn't seem very much like Gwen at all once they started talking, aside from being really nice. If he ignored the little picture on the boards, he was just fine. But ignoring his girlfriend's face wasn't very easy. Or was she an ex now that the Seal had taken her home? He wasn't sure.
Facetwin weirdness aside, she was newly displaced and someone needed to get her to the complex, so he made the offer and then she mentioned ice cream and it didn't seem like such a bad idea.
After getting a general idea of where she was, Peter made his way out of the complex and onto the streets of Lawrence. He couldn't believe he'd been here for a year already. It seemed surreal. He knew the layout of the city well, having kept up with general patrols for the majority of his time here once he'd adjusted and taken the necessary classes and demon camp. He missed his patrol buddy, but Steph had been sent home awhile go now and he'd gotten used to going solo again.
Peter didn't take long to get where Serena had directed him. He spotted her instantly. Even if she hadn't looked slighty out of place sitting on the sidewalk, lost in her own thoughts, he would have been able to pick her out of a crowd. He hoped this little ice cream excursion wasn't harder or more awkward than it should be. She couldn't help or change that she looked like Gwen, right? He shook his head slightly, he couldn't hold that against her. "Hey, Serena." he greeted her with a half-smile and a small wave.
