Several weeks passed and Francisca and Peter continued their study sessions at Delmar's, however today was different. They weren't going to Delmar's because Peter had roped Fran into joining the academic decathlon. "Come on, Frankie." Peter begged as Francisca closed her locker and grabbed her backpack.

"Peter, I really don't want to join, I'm not smart enough for it, I'm failing physics that should be enough of a warning for me to not join." Fran looked down on the floor and saw a drawing her brother Elias had made and bent to pick it up but Peter had beat her to it.

"Your brother like Spider-man?" He asked with a small smile. It was a drawing of Elias meeting Spider-man.

Francisca smiled softly "Yeah I guess you can say that. He gets in trouble because instead of sleeping he just sits and watched out the window to see if he can see Spider-man." She shrugged her shoulders "I don't know, his birthday is this week and he really wants to see Spider-man."

Peter's ears perked up "What day is his birthday? You know I have that Stark internship, maybe I could pull a few strings."

Fran laughed a bit to herself "It's in two days but, I can't ask you to do that Peter. I'm sure Spider-man is a busy guy."

Peter let out a breathy laugh, she really had no idea, "I mean he really likes to talk with his fans, it gives him motivation." No matter how much Frankie said no Peter still planned on showing up at her little brother's window to introduce himself. "Now let's go to decathlon practice. Come on we're even working on physics problems so you can practice."

Francisca rolled her eyes "Fine if I guess I can do it." She reluctantly agreed following the excited boy to the area where they practiced.

Mr. Harrison smiled at Peter "Ah Peter, It's nice of you to join us today. Ms. Silva nice to see you too." He had an obvious favoritism towards Peter for some unknown reason.

Peter smiled and pushed Francisca forward "Yeah Frankie wants to join,"

Fran quickly shot a glare towards Peter and opened her mouth to protest but was interrupted "Oh is that so Francisca?" Mr. Harrison asked.
Fran internally cringed at her full name, she hated it, it was too much of a mouthful and her mother only used it when she was in trouble. "Yeah I guess so." She grumbled and wasn't terribly happy about having to participate in decathlon.

"I mean you have pretty excellent grades except for physics, which you're failing." He mumbled.

Fran rolled her eyes "Yeah I know, but Peter said this could help me study." If she was going to be made a fool of so was Peter

Mr. Harrison nudged his glasses up "Well I suppose you're right Mr. Parker. Francisca, you can take over as first alternate. Flash you're moved to second alternate." Flash opened his mouth to protest but was quickly interrupted by someone ringing the bell.

Francisca did exceptionally well in topics essentially every other topic except physics. Mr. Harrison looked slightly impressed by her knowledge at certain topics "If you get above a B+ on your next physics exam I'll upgrade you from an alternate to a team member. We could use someone well versed in all topics."

Fran smiled a little bit to herself as she left the practice room with Peter "Want to go get food at Delmar's?" she asked grinning.

Peter nodded his head "Yeah, we can do that and study to make sure you can get that grade! I knew you would think it was fun."

"Yeah... It was whatever I guess." Fran tried not to smile as they walked to the subway station and rode to Delmar's

At Delmar's they sat in their usual spot away from most of the people that were shopping in the grocery store "So Peter, you already know most of my life story, tell me about yours." Fran asked, she was genuinely curious about the boy's life.
