Ben Parker makes his way through the ESU dorms, smiling at every girl he meets. Several of them smile and giggle in return, and Ben acknowledges that maybe, just maybe, coming to visit his bookworm sister is fun sometimes. Of course, having to bring her cookies and extra money for the week is not his idea of a good time. Maybe if he hurried, he could catch a couple of the girls downstairs and head to Big Mike’s Burger Joint. The team might even be there right now.

He knocks on the door.

	May opened the door, smile on her face when she saw her younger brother. "Hey there Shrimp," she said, wrapping her brother into a hug. "Come on in, I was just about to order a pizza." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Always with the short jokes, this one. You're only an inch taller than me, Sasquatch." Ben jokes, hugging his big sister. He picks her up, pretending like he'll swing her around, but then...an idea comes to mind. "Geeze, May! How much pizza have you been eating?" he says, pretending to strain a little.

	May narrowed her eyes at her younger brother. "Enough to crush you with my massive girth, apparently." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm just kiddin' Mayday. Besides, you know I need my big sister. Who else is going to introduce me to all the hot ESU girls years before my time." he grins. "Seriously, some of the girls here are really hot. Is your friend....Marissa still single?" he asks. "What kind of pizza are you getting?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

May rolled her eyes. "Keep dreaming, Squirt. The girls out of here are way out of your league..and I don't think they're into high school freshman, athletic star or not." She ushered him into her room, which while it was a little on the messy side, wasn't nearly the mine field that her room at home normally was. "She's seeing someone, last I asked. She's been kinda fuzzy on the details, though. And it's Melissa."

May sat down at her desk, and gestured for Ben to take a seat on her bed. "I dunno. Leaning towards pepperoni...unless you've got a craving for something in particular."

	"Well, I'm worth a fling at the least. Tell her she can call me anytime." Ben jibes, sitting down. He notices how clean her room looks, compared to her room at home, and nods approvingly. "Wow, Mom would be impressed. Dad, of course, would give you a medal." Ben says, gesturing toward her room. "Pineapple is good. Other than that, I'm easy." he tells her.

	May rolled her eyes. "I don't think he'd give me the medal, Benjy. Might die of shock, yes." "Half pineapple...half pepperoni. That sound good?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Please don't call me Benjy, May. Mom slips and does it, and Dad encourages her." he says, exasperation in his voice. Seriously, what did it take for a guy to prove he wasn't four anymore?

"And you know he would. Dad would give you a medal for breathing if he could. He was going on about you to someone the other day, about how you're in college so early and such. Mr. Connors or something like that. Anyway, he said you're a big chem type and that you'd probably want to see his seminar on neogeniuses or something.

It was some kind of science." he says.

"And yeah, that's good. I haven't been allowed to have pizza since basketball season started, but we're close to the championships this year. It would be so cool to be part of the first team to bring the trophy home since Coach Thompson was in school." he says.

May chuckled a little. "It's not like I do it in public or anything. There's worse things I could do to...like tell all of your potential girlfriends that you used to suck your thumb until you were ten. As your older sister, I could be sooo much worse."

May sighed. "Dad loves you, Ben. He really does."

She dialed up the pizza place, placing the order before turning back to her brother. "You'll have to tell me when that is. I'd love to go."

"Allow me to retort, May. You know the East Entrance to this building catches the light so well. Lots of traffic. Plenty of people who could see a certain picture of a you and Miss Rubber Duckie in the tub when you were six." Ben grins.

"That would SO keep you from bringing home a boyfriend, which Dad is hoping for. You know that's part of why he sends me here, right? To make sure you aren't dating anyone he needs to follow home and have a talk with." Ben jokes.

When she says that Dad loves him too, he simply offers her a small smile. "Funny, you and Mom keep saying that, but he and I keep having the same arguments about school and sports. He thinks I'm 'wasting my potential'." he sighs. "I don't think he'll ever get over me not liking science."

He brightens, however, when May says she'll come to his came. "You'd really come to the game? I'd like that, Sis. Really, I would. You and Mom can cheer us on, then take pictures of me with the trophy."

"Oh you would have to go into the Witness Relocation program sooo fast, Shrimp."

She rolled her eyes playfully. "Oh yes. You're such a good little spy, aren't ya?"

She sighed. "Not everyone shares the sames tastes as Dad. It probably doesn't help much that your basketball that you get along so well with is the guy that used to dunk his head in the toilet."

She nodded. "Of course I would. Just like you'd come to all of my gymnastics meets." Though that was probably more Mom dragging him along than free will.

"No matter what name they put me under, I'm still too awesome to vanish completely." Ben says with a self-satisfied smirk.

"I'm not spying, really. Besides, you don't have any boys in here, so I can't talk about what I didn't see. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if he comes to visit himself. Oh, I'm supposed to give you this." Ben says, pulling some money from his pocket.

"Mom and Dad figured you'd need it." he says, lying back on the bed.

"Coach Thompson said something about that once. He also says that it's hard to believe I'm Dad's kid, since we're so different. No one calls me 'Puny' Parker, though. Coach T won't let 'em." Ben says, a little proudly.

"I'd go to all your gymnastics meets just to check out all the hot girls, but that would come a close second to cheering for my big sister." he grins. "Besides, Dad would declare it a family outing and I'd have to go anyway. But at least you aren't mean like most big sisters.

And are you sure you don't have any single friends around here? I mean, I'm mature for my age. And can I borrow the True Blood DVD's, please? I swear, I won't tell Mom about them, and I'll make sure she and Dad never see them." he promises.

May snickered. "Your ego alone would need its own identity."

"I don't have time for boys," she said, taking the money, "School, gymnastics, and being a superheroine kind of make having a love life hard."

She stashed the wad of cash in her desk drawer. "Thanks. I was running a little low, anyway."

May chuckled. "You're not exactly puny either, Ben. Never have been. Actually...neither of us have exactly been 'short'. I swear, I think I was born five-feet tall already."

She let his ragging on Dad go again. Someday...they'd get along. Luckily. She could see where Ben would get frustrated.

"Positive," she said, "None of them are really into the whole Demi Moore/Ashton Kutcher thing anyway. And no. Because it's Mom. She'll find out. Mom finds out EVERYTHING."

"But everyone at school says the show is awesome, May! I'm, like, the only person who hasn't seen it and isn't aloud to watch it." he says, sighing in frustration.

"I mean, come on! It's Deborah Ann Woll!" he exclaims. Ben has, what might be defined in lesser mortals, as a crush on Deborah Ann Woll.

"Girls my age at school are so...fake. Most of them only talk to me because I'm on a team and hang out with the older guys. Most of the Varsity Squad is cool, too, because Coach T gave me a chance.

The only decent girl is at school is Penny, and she's like my sister. And Jake likes her, and that's against Bro-Code." Ben says.

	"One Mom would find out and kick my ass and two Mom would find out." She smirked. "Someday, though, you'll find a Deborah Ann Woll of your own." Corny as it sounds." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sis, I love you. I really do. But don't make relationship advice your major." he grins. "Hey, I meant to ask you...do you have a free weekend coming up? I could use a favor, if you're willing." he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well...I'm working on a photography portfolio, since my Journalism teacher saw a few of my shots and said I have some talent. Turns out she knows Robbie Robertson over at the Daily Bugle. I was there before I got here. Mr. Robertson said they could use another photographer for the summer, but I need more pictures.

Do you think...maybe you'd be up to let me take a few of you? You don't have to model or pose or anything. Like just a few in the park, being natural." he says.

"And if you want to toss me a couple of a certain someone, that could only help, too." Ben says. "But I'd rather have just you."
