Once you'd told Ned everything, he seemed oddly calm about the situation.


"So you want me to use magic with a magical ring? Because I'm magical too?" He asks, looking at everyone confusedly.


"Also, you can't all be Spider-Man. That wouldn't make sense.. well.. it would but that doesn't make me believe you all." MJ says, eavesdropping on the conversation.


You had told them the whole story from the start to the finish. The only detail Peter 1 had left out was the fact that him and MJ used to date.


The group went quiet, the only sound you could hear was the slow hum of the oven.


"I think it's a load of rubbish." MJ says, sitting down beside Ned.


"Explain this then.." Ned says, fishing around in his schoolbag that was by his feet.


After a couple of seconds the teenager pulled out a sling ring.


"You carry that around with you?" Peter 3 asks, a little amused.


"Well, I didn't know what it was and I figured it might be useful for opening bottles or something." Ned shrugs.


You try to hold in your laughter. A magical sling ring with the power of transporting the user anywhere in the multiverse was sat in a school kid's bag occasionally being used to open bottles of coke.


What kind of world did you all live in?


Everyone stayed quiet for a minute before MJ spoke up.


"Personally, I think you guys should check out the mental hospital, it's just three blocks away to your left." MJ got up, taking Ned's empty plate with her.


"I didn't want to have to do this and it might come as a shock for you all-" You begin, glancing over to sorcerer Ned who'd stayed quiet up until now, hidden under his coat.


However, MJ cut you off.


"Could you please leave now?" MJ says, sighing as she mopped up the crumbs from a random table, "I don't want any hassle."


You nod at Sorcerer Ned who pulls his hood down making both normal Ned and MJ gasp.


"This is the Ned from another universe that we were talking about." You declare, "I don't know if I could make it any more clear."


Ned stared at himself and himself stared back.


"It's like looking in a weird mirror." Normal Ned says, mesmerised by how similar they looked.


After a while, he looked away, muttering under his breath.


"Honestly, it makes me want to puke." Ned quickly rushed away from the table leaving a stunned MJ and a slightly offended Sorcerer Ned.


A smile crept onto MJ's face.


"Ah, you've got me now." She grinned nervously, "Funny joke, great prank."


She was shaking. Poor girl.


Peter 1 couldn't help his self. She looked so nervous and terrified that she might've had a seizure right on the spot.


Peter 1 walked towards her and gave her a hug.


She was reluctant at first but eventually gave way to his arms, resting a teary face on his shoulder. And then, you watched as the hug turned into a kiss.


When MJ finally pulled away, there was a different look in her eyes.


She still looked stunned but also as if she'd realised something crucial.


"Peter you idiot." She hugged him quickly again, "I.. I.."


"You what?" Peter says, smiling at her happy face.


"I remember now."
