Maria was helping organize the bakery today. She was doing some extra duties because she basically commanded Liz to take some time off from working. Maria told Liz that if she didn't go relax in the spa or something that Liz would hear from her later. Maria knew the idea of letting down Mary in the bakery bothered Liz, so Maria was helping out today.

She replaced the brownie display when she heard someone enter. She glanced over and saw Peter. When she first got here Maria had thought she wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Brad and Peter, but it was obvious to her now.

"Oh, it's you," She said coldly as she turned back around and busied herself with the brownies once more.

Alec was getting annoyed with all the sulking and general teenage drama that was happening. It's wasn't that he didn't understand what was going on, but he thought Peter should either pick one or date both. Still, when he saw the way Peter walked around, it bothered him. He wanted to say it all came from being annoyed, but the truth was a part of him felt sorry for the kid.

It was 7:00 AM when Alec walked into Peter's room and threw Peter's Spider-Man uniform at the sleeping teen. Alec was dressed in his combat gear complete with gun by his side. "Get up. We're going to be late."

Liz was incredibly excited. She didn't often go into the Otherworlds alone because she knew most of them were dangerous in some way and while she could handle herself in some situations, if things got really intense, it was safer with someone else. Because of this, Liz didn't have access to new things a lot of the time, so when she saw that someone had brought the last installment of the original Star Wars on DVD, she snatched it up quickly to surprise Peter with a movie night.

She made popcorn and had drinks with her, the VHS under her armpit, as she approached his room with an air of excitement. When she got to his door she awkwardly knocked as her hands were full.

"Moment of truth," Peter says as he plugs in the phone. The screen lights up and an outline of a battery fills the screen; green rises up within the battery icon, then resets and rises again steadily.

"Bingo," Peter says. He turns and grins at Tony. This was the second time they had to fix his phone, the first being the first time he was at the inn; now, this was an entirely different phone that arrived with him from back home, cracked during impact with a fast-moving train. With the assistance of Tony's lab (and once or twice Tony himself), he managed to nearly restore his phone back to its original condition pre-train collision.

Almost.

Peter's hands are sweating.

They tend to sweat when he's nervous, like right before an Academic Decathlon competition or when May dropped him off at Liz's and he discovered her father was the Vulture. Given all he has been through, it doesn't make any sense for him to feel nervous about seeing MJ again.

But here is, standing outside of the door to MJ's room, trying to will the courage to knock.

Peter takes a breath and then raps and for one single moment, irrationally hopes that she doesn't answer the door.

So this place isn't that bad. Hi, I'm Michelle and I've just recently arrived here.

Annie was excited to see Peter. When he disappeared, she had been very scared for him. When he returned, she was happy to know he hadn't died back home. While he was gone, she had taken the liberty of taking the web shooters Peter had made for her and practiced. As she marched through the halls with vibrating excitement, Annie couldn't wait to show Peter what she had learned. Her own practice combined with the various lessons from Loki made her feel very confident.

She stopped in front of his door and knocked. She decided to dress up for the occasion in her usual homemade costume. This time she had her web shooters on her wrists too.

Alec had spent the last two days outdoors in the wilderness. The inn felt restrictive and being outside helped him cope with it. That and Clarice, who had been invaluable for keeping him from retreating too much back into himself.

He needed a shower and a change of clothes in the early hour of the morning. He slipped into his room and almost missed the form sleeping in Peter's bed.

Annoyance flared up inside him. If someone was pulling a prank, he'd have to kick their ass. He grabbed the end of the duvet and yanked the whole thing off of the sleeping form.

Liz sat on Maria's bed listening to the sounds of some indie band Maria liked. The words weren't registering, but the mood spoke to Liz with its slow, low tones. She had skipped work today, not that it was real work, and Maria had just left to go do some of it probably because she wanted to give Liz some space. Liz had told her she'd go back to her room soon, but she knew her best friend wouldn't mind if she stayed a little longer.

Her eyes slowly scanned the ceiling of Maria's room as if trying to commit it all to memory. Her stomach growled and she remembered she hadn't eaten since breakfast. Still, she couldn't find the will at that moment to move too much. She'd get Maria to bring back a smoothie or something and it'd be fine.

Ned was on his second pie today which didn't seem like a lot until you realized he was eating all of it on his own. He was working on his laptop this time, so he was using the whole 'brain fuel' thing as an excuse, but the fact was he had been designing the text-based game with Peter before he left so the whole thing was still basically stress eating.

When he took a break and checked his journal - not that he knew why, no one really wrote him anymore - he dropped the book when he saw there was a new entry from Peter. Peter. Leaving his laptop in the cafe, his face still having evidence of the cherry pie he was eating, Ned ran all the way too Peter's room and knocked. Of course, now he was doubled over and out of breath.

Tony was no less busy than he usually was, and with the advent of working facilities that he kept in the research building, he managed to keep himself busier than ever. However, the building boasted perhaps the most important function of all that his humble room ("Lab Edition .00001") did not--social amenities. The residents could come, linger, and contribute while Tony tinkered with his latest project or worked to expand the growing facility. Egalitarianism, thy name is Stark.

Today wasn't one of those days. It was a party of one in the wide open lab, and Tony distracted himself from the quiet with Aerosmith, which was fine until he began feverishly nitpicking the sound mixing. When FRIDAY adopted her customer service voice he elected to make do with the sounds of nature and a cup of decaf.

Loki and The Lieutenant are getting married--what was the date? Did they pick a date? What gift do I even get? If I get Loki a knife and The Lieutenant a bunch of mead that'll just be gauche. I should ask Thor. What's Thor doing? What is everyone doing? God, it's quiet. When Tony pulled his palm from his cheek, it stuck for a moment. He frowned and rolled his shoulders back and his back pinched in protest. Yep, feeling his age. Time to move those bones some.

He rose from the window-side table and paced the halls, judging the interior and making small mental notes on what to update or adjust. At some point, he was outside, and the large sheets of wood that laid in various states of process stared back at him. Right. The cars. A work space by the building for two.

Tony looked away and his armor spread out from his chest, and he took flight. If he couldn't think straight, he could at least fly straight.

Liz was having a great time that afternoon. The heat from the summer sun wasn't terrible with the slight breeze. It also helped they had decided to go swimming which was never a hardship for Liz - Peter looked good in a bathing suit. They had been out for an hour or so now and Liz hadn't really stopped smiling the entire time.

She swam over to Peter and flung her arms around his neck. "Maybe after this, we can go have some pizza. I put a few pizzas I made the night before in the fridge. I bet they heat up well." Liz leaned over and caught his mouth in hers, slow and intense - just in case Peter forgot how much she loved him.

"Listen. All I'm saying is, I don't get it." Alec look at Peter as he walked back to their room with a case of soda under his arm while Peter carried a large bowl of popcorn. Peter had convinced him to do movie night. "How does a little guy roll cows and boats and planes. And why would someone even want to do that? It doesn't make any sense."

He saw Peter open his mouth to defend the game as he unlocked their door and stepped in. Only when he stepped in, he stumbled and nearly dropped the case of soda - he was... on a street? The street looked really familiar for some reason. Mostly, he was confused as to how their room had a street. He turned to look at Peter and then noticed the door behind them closed. That was definitely not good.

Ned was pretty excited that he was going to be doing a project with Peter. It felt like old times. It seemed like it had been forever since they were tinkering with something they probably shouldn't be tinkering with. He was excited.

"So, I was thinking. If we can get this virtual reality rig to actually work, we could like, program different things to see and then, I don't know... maybe people like Xavin could like, show us what their world looks like?" He paused. "Or, you know, we could just play Golden Eye or Smash Brothers."

Of course, they were just in the infancy stage of such an idea. They still had to figure out how to actually accomplish any of it. While Ned's laptop was good, storing information enough for more than one game would be difficult. He'd probably definitely have to delete his season 1 of Game of Thrones for sure.

In front of them was a cellphone from Europe, some regular glasses, and a few other objects they were going to tinker with to see if they could make some sort of screen for Virtual Reality.

Her mother had always made pie making look so easy. Amy DeLuca's pie were the best in Roswell and a selling point in Liz's parents' cafe. Maria decided to try and make some of her mother's famous Keylime pie to stave off the homesickness she was starting to feel. So far her attempts were poor.

"Third time's the charm, right?" She said as she slide a pie slice over to Brad. He had volunteered to help her taste-test and hadn't died from her two previous attempts. "I promise I put less salt in this one."

Brad nodded and dug in. He chewed thoughtfully. He then smiled.

"This isn't half bad," He said. "It tastes like Keylime this time for sure."

Maria took a bite of her own and pumped her arm.

"Yes!" She said. "Not quite as good as my mom's, but it's edible."

"I'll take this one to go," He said, lifting the plate with a nod.

Maria nodded back and watched as Brad walked over to the table he had previously been occupying. There was a series of psychology books strewn about. They all seemed focused on depression or other behavioral illnesses.

Maria took another bite of hers and looked over her hand-written recipe as she tried to decide what to change to make it more like mom's.

When the new world opened up, it had been a little exciting. It almost felt like the inn had made this particular place appear the week of Valentine's Day on purpose which meant it also made Liz wonder, not for the first time, if the Inn was controlled by someone. She and Peter made plans to spend February 14th, just the two of them, at the themepark and so she spent the previous day worrying that her powers were going to do something to ruin a date. Since this was a new place with new things to explore, it was really important for her that this date went well and they had a good time... even if they still weren't kissing each other.

She settled on a nice wintry outfit that Maria assured her was cute and waited for Peter outside of the door to 'Merry' where the portal to the other world was.

Ned had no idea why he thought this would be a good idea, but everyone looked so cool on the ice and it had looked like so much fun. Fun, however, was not the word he would choose at this current moment as he skated forward and had no way of stopping. The first sign this was a bad idea should have been the wobbling when he first got on the ice. The second one should have been his need to cling to the sideboards.

As he flew forward on the ice, hands out like a scarecrow to try and stay upright, he regretted pushing off the sideboard so hard. He had never actually gone skating before and the lineups at Rockafeller Center were always too long to wait.

"Look out!"

It was Alec's first time at a real theme park and while the rides got old quickly, he liked the challenge of the games. Some where obviously rigged while others weren't, but none of them seemed to be prepared for super-human abilities. The poor guy at the strength hammer had almost fainted when Alec hit it. While it wasn't exactly the most thrilling Other World - he'd really like some sort of fight with something to hit - it was a nice change of pace than being cooped up in and around the hotel.

He came upon the basketball game where you had to get as many three-point baskets in one minute. He watched as a few people tried and failed miserably. He shook his head - those poor suckers.

The wheel of the year turned and turned and Curnen found herself at an anniversary of sorts that she flatly didn't want to be remembering but got stuck on a loop of anyway.

This time there was no taking the hell off into the wilderness, though. Nor were there endless, circular recitations of "The Queen of Argyll." Rather than be poisoned by the memory of someone she still hated like everloving fuck, she focused on remembering the friend she'd lost. And besides this being Kash's song, she figured it was never a bad time around here for "John Barleycorn." Perched on the roof with her guitar, she sang of John Barleycorn's dying and rising again, subtle magic weaving into her voice to lead anyone lost in their little bubble world this way.

There was three men come out of the west their fortunes for to try,
And these three men made a solemn vow, John Barleycorn must die,
They ploughed, they sowed, they harrowed him in, threw clods upon his head,
And these three men made a solemn oath John Barleycorn was dead.

It was Kash's song, in her mind, but you talked to half the people around here and it wasn't a bad fit for them, either. From her vantage point, she watched the road.
