The Dark Arts Destroyers (Jones Sparrow and SinfulSkills)

Some of the best acting I've seen from children in a long time!!!
If you haven't seen it, Insidious 1 and 2 are great, the actor that plays Ed Warren is in it.
And American Horror Story is really good, a team of writers who can actually write horror story after horror story without it getting boring or repetitive.

Spider-Man: Childhood Friends (Jones Sparrow and EasilyAmused)

"Yeah I'll take her home." Lexi said in agreement as the party left the lunch; giving Peter a quick hug she started to the car before her dad stopped her.

"Lexi could you drop this by Mister Archer's office, it's part of the documents he needs and I have to go to Anderson's office."

"Sure dad." Lexi said sweetly taking the small binder from him placing it in the back of the car and getting in. The conversation with Aunt May was always nice, though she was determined by any and all means to get Lexi and Peter together, little comments like how cute they look together and that they always take good photos would leave her whenever the two were alone. And all Lexi could do was give the woman an awkward laugh and wonder if Peter had to put up with the same thing after she left and was alone with Aunt May.

"Good bye!" She called from the car as she watched Aunt May get safely inside the house. A sigh left her as she took the car out of park and drove into downtown. Sometimes coming from a rich family had it's benefits, whenever she went to a client or coworker of her father's, their valet service would treat her little banged up vehicle as if they were handling her father's mustang. A small laugh left her as she dropped the keys in the valet's hand and wondered inside. The building wasn't very big only three stories but it was a beautiful older building, something most people don't get to see in New York but her dad's coworker owned it. At the top of the building in the middle was the man's office and it wasn't long before the two were talking like they always did. Though the man was nice, he was always trying to hook her up with his son which she had to uncomfortably decline. Things were going okay until the fire alarm went off and the building reacted in a causal manor... that is until the third floor occupants found themselves stuck on the third floor, flame crawling up the stairwells.

"Oh no!" Soon the group of 20 people were crammed in Mister Archer's office. Lexi jumped in, "LISTEN EVERYONE." She called out, getting the attention of the hysterical people. "The fire department will be here soon, they'll set up one of those inflatable bouncing pads and we'll have to jump. The sooner we can get out of here the better."

"We can just break the window." One man said.

"NO!" Lexi instantly jumped in not wanting to allow anyone to run with that idea. "The more oxygen let into the room, the more the flames with expand and soon arrive to us, we must wait until the last minute to break the glass so we can hold off making the flames bigger."

While people didn't seem to be a fan of listening to a 17 year old girl they did with their bosses agreement to her plan. Within minutes the fire department was there and set up the bouncing pad. Mister Archer took it upon himself to break the glass and one by one she and Mister Archer help each person through the window until there was the two of them left. "Jump Lexi!"

"No you jump, I'll go last."

"What are you thinking?!"

"I'm putting someone else before myself. GO!" She said give him a small push and he jumped, much to his disagreement. His landed deflated the bouncing pad and the fire department held up a hand telling her to wait. "Oh no..." She said softly, her blue gaze moving to look behind her, the flame had started overtaking the door and now it was a race between the fire department re-inflating the bouncing pad and the the flames crawling into the room, her head was sweating and her vision was becoming blurry as her body started to overheat. Oh this.... this wasn't good.

-laughs-
It's understandable, it's an awesome movie.
They hint at doing a second one, I believe it will be the research Lorraine did at the Amity Ville house.

Spider-Man: Childhood Friends (Jones Sparrow and EasilyAmused)

Ha ha ha!
I can't wait for her first encounter with him as Spider-Man!

The Dark Arts Destroyers (Jones Sparrow and SinfulSkills)

No no no, ha ha ha!
Don't take it as an insult; I think it's a great representation of the work they'll do.
Plus I just watched The Conjuring last night so I put two and two together.
-laughs-

Spider-Man: Childhood Friends (Jones Sparrow and EasilyAmused)

Which part?
Watching her swoon over his alter ego?
Knowing she's actually swooning over him?
Having to help her write questions that he's going to answer?
Or pretend like he didn't know the questions when he meets up with her?
-laughs-
He's got a lot stacked against him not to give himself away!!

The shelf/collecting thing makes me think of Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Spider-Man: Childhood Friends (Jones Sparrow and EasilyAmused)

“You’re an amazing guy, anyone; even Spider-Man would be lucky enough to get to talk to you.” Lexi said softly under her breath as she looked at the menu, not really wanting to draw attention to her flattering comment. Come on Lex get yourself together geeze!! She mentally lectured herself, hating the feeling of leading Peter into thinking any feelings other than friendship could be one hundred percent dedicated to him. Because in her heart of hearts she knew that wasn’t true.

Pushing him lightly with her elbow she laughed along with him about ‘Peter Parker’ and ‘Popular’, he had a point; it was never something the two of them saw in the near future, him being popular in one form or another. But that didn’t stop her from being his friend and it didn’t stop him from being hers. They had a friendship, a bond that couldn’t be broken and out of all the secrets she had kept from him, the only one that she has chosen to have remain a secret was her feelings for Spider-Man. It just seemed like something he wouldn’t want to hear, especially how much he ran across the guy. He had given lectures to her past boyfriends about threating her right and the last thing she needed was for him to go toe to toe with a superhero.

The table nearby echoed with the talk of Spider-Man as well and Lexi’s head turned slightly from the menu to get a listen. Though… she probably shouldn’t have; the raven haired girl turned in her seat, facing the man and woman chatting away and insulting the superhero. Her mom, bless her heart, saw the move and reached over to grab Lexi’s attention before it was too late… “Lexi…” She said cautiously but it was too late, the girl was off.

“You seem to think that when or even if he dies, that everything will go crazy; that everything that Spider-Man had worked to stop will be gone in a flash but you’re wrong.” She said sharply to the man, “If he dies, he has left us with a true representation of what justice is; now it would be our turn as the people of this city to uphold the law when he’s gone. Stopping the wrongs before they can happen, help prevent the rise of terror, fight together to stop even petty things like robberies and muggings. He is not some cocky man in pajamas; he’s a leader and a representative of how we all should be. Honorable and on the look out to protect others; if that’s the definition of a cocky man in pajamas, well sir you need to take a page out of his book.”

With a small huff she turned back around in her seat and picked up her knife and fork, just in time to notice that her whole table was staring at her. Aunt May’s mouth was dropped open, her dad was rubbing his forehead and her mom was shaking her head; when her eyes got to Peter she found herself looking at his fork instead. “Did you get a defective fork?” She asked joking, doing her best to change the subject, since she just seemed to throw the entire table for a loop. Hopefully breakfast didn’t last too long….

Spider-Man: Childhood Friends (Jones Sparrow and EasilyAmused)

So I had an idea last night that I wanted to run by you.

I was thinking maybe she got nearly mugged one evening after finishing up... something that would cause her to walk to her car alone, Spider-Man swoops in to save her. Lexi gets up to the guts to ask him to come answer a few questions when he has the time and he agrees, so she spends all day at Peter's house trying to think of questions while pushing her star-struck thoughts aside.

Spider-Man: Childhood Friends (Jones Sparrow and EasilyAmused)

Something had gotten into Peter compared to the way he used to be. He seemed to have a larger sense of humor, more joking sarcasm and a sense of being that he had never had before. Maybe it had to do with him turning 18. She was only a week away from joining him in the 18 year old marker. Her thoughts turned at what she would be like when she turned 18. Would she change for the better like Peter had, growing as an individual like he had?

Taking the camera from him gently, ever careful with his prize possession she began to slim through the pictures. When she found the few he had snapped of Spider-Man she stopped on each one, giving them more attention than she had to the other ones. A small sigh left her full lips as she flicked through the couple of photos he had caught of him in the forest. "You always see to be in the right place at the right time to catch Spider-Man." She said with a small laugh, doing her best to cover up the jealousy she was feeling. "Maybe you should try to get an interview with him if he has time between saving people. In addition to a photo of him an interview would look great in the school paper. I could get that in easily and it would likely take th front page." As much as she'd rather do the interview with him but since Peter seemed to be in the right place at the right time.

Handing the camera gently back to him, she picked up the menu and began to scan the breakfast food. "Do you think... I could get a copy of one of those photos before you sell them? The original from the master photographer will be worth a lot one day." She said glancing over to him from the menu and gave him a cheeky grin, "You should sign the back of it. You're bound to get famous and popular one of these days." She let out a dramatic joking sigh. "And forget all about your friends down at the lower end of the spectrum."
