"It had a design on the top," MJ said. "A little apple." Peter closed
his eyes, thought for a moment. The house had been filling with
peculiar cosmetics recently, but he really couldn't complain about
that, as it meant that his wife was working, rather than merely making
herself more attractive than she already was a tough job, if you asked
him. "Bucket," he said, and opened his eyes. "Kind of a little tub
thing? Okay. In the

kitchen, on the counter by the dishwasher, there are about six pots
and tubs and so forth there. All the little short squat ones were

"I looked," MJ said fretfully. "It's not there."

Peter closed his eyes again, trying to see where he had last seen the

"The refrigerator? Why would I put anything there?"

Peter restrained himself from suggesting numerous possibilities. 'Just

they would have at least a week or so to themselves to sit quietly, not
doing any more work than they had to, and trying to recover a little
from the rather frenetic period of heat, humidity, and super heroing
without skyscrapers. But it seemed that fate had intended otherwise.

It had been a lively time. Work had taken them down there initially.
First MJ's intention to hunt for more modeling work in the Miami area
with one of the new PR or modeling agencies relocating down that way,
and then, on Peter's end, when he was sent down by the Daily Bugle to
help investigate some strange goings-on at Cape Canaveral, things that
wound up involving

not only his old acquaintance the Lizard, but Venom as well. That
business was now cleared up, or as much as it was going to be anytime
