Aren't you supposed to wash spandex by hand?

Well, it was an accident. Someone came by so I had to stash it..in my laundry basket. Then I forgot about it. You'd think I would've learned the first time it happened.

You should just be open with your secret identity. Save yourself some time and trouble.

It wouldn't really be a secret identity then would it? Besides it leaves my loved ones at risk. I can't handle that.

Good point. I don't really have that. It's not exactly the greatest thing to realize, but it makes it easier to be open.

You don't have loved ones? Surely there is someone that you worry might get hurt from your alter ego adventures.

Well, I have two people it might effect. The third ended up trying to kill me so... Yeah.

Ouch. Talk about insulting. What a dick.

Guess since I have already so much, I just don't want to push my luck. Also, I suppose, I'm a little scared, I mean, not everyone loves Spider-man.

Insulting, definitely. And it was pretty lame, I have to say. I mean, the guy was supposed to be my father's friend and business partner.

There's people who don't... Oh right. Yeah, your bad guys. I don't have a lot of those yet.

What a jerk. It kind of evens out though. I mean, there are guys like that and guys like us. It's a balance..or whatever.

You're lucky. Not only my bad guys though. The city changes its mind daily. One day Spider-man's a hero, the next he is a criminal.

A sort of balance, yeah.

Well, that's stupid. I probably just get away with it because I'm rich.

Peter Parker! Are you telling me you don't know how to do laundry?

It's true Pepper Potts. I have failed at even the most simple of tasks. Usually my aunt does it. But I didn't have time to go back home this weekend.

That really is a shame. My goodness.

Are all your clothes pink now?

Can I blame it on the fact I'm a male?

Just my whites although all my lite colored clothes have a very nice red glow to them.

No...wait, yes, you probably can. My husband dyed his clothes this lovely purple once when he threw his dark wash jeans in with his whites. What a dummy.

That's very classy.

Pepper Potts, you have a husband?

You really think so? I don't really have money to buy new clothes..I might be stuck with these for awhile.

Peter Parker, I am a widow. So I HAD a husband. He died about 18 months ago.

Oh! I can take you shopping! I love shopping. And I have money.

Oh..I'm sorry. Really, I am. I've had a bit of experience with loved ones dying myself. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone.

As fun as that sounds..I don't think I can let you do that.

Thank you. It gets better but you know how it is. Sometimes it just hits you still.. it's why I keep busy.

Fine. Will you let Tony Stark do it? He has more than enough money...

Yea, I know how that is. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so busy though..

That is true, he does have a lot of money. Doesn't he have something better to spend it on than clothes for me?

Yeah? I like being busy. I really do.

Probably but whatever. I like to think it's my money too. I helped him make it, I can help him spend it.

Busy includes shopping with me for non pink clothing?

Well that's the spirit, you have every right to use that money!

Exactly. I'm in NYC this weekend, but I'm afraid I'm completely booked... maybe next weekend? We can figure something out?

And I haven't forgotten about your baked goods, Peter Parker. I've just been busy with this masquerade I'm planning WHICH you should attend. Definitely.

Wow, popular lady huh? Actually I might be heading down to Malibu soon. A Tony wants me to blow scraps up with him. You still live in that area?

I'm still waiting for them. A masquerade? I didn't know people still had those. I wouldn't mind stopping by..do I have to dress up?

No, I moved from California about...6 months ago. And then I just moved to DC about a month ago. I'm a world traveller.

They'll be there. And yeah, you have to dress up..well it's encouraged. Masks are a definite. The invite is up on my journal, and you RSVP on the campaign manager's journal. It's going to be wonderful.

Guess so. Gosh, I can't imagine moving around that much. Spose I'll just have to wait for you to make you're rounds back towards me.

We might have to go shopping for more than just casual clothes then..Mask's huh? That's pretty cool.

ooc: Nah, I've just talked to aestark and idontpaint. Sorry for the mistake. It all gets confusing, so many different verses. Crazy Favreau.

It's part of the job. I don't mind it, I like travelling. I'm in NYC almost every weekend anyways. I kept my place by Central Park, wasn't going to let that real estate go, so I have a place to crash when I'm home.

It is pretty cool. We'll definitely have to plan it for sometime soon. Maybe I can get a day off work, fly down to NYC. Stark jet is handy to have.
