It's been 6 years in her universe since the whole interdimensional fiasco nearly wiped everything out and Gwen Stacy was in college now. Her hair regrew and was now midway down her back and she wore a cute black and blue plaid skirt with a matching jacket and shirt with fingerless gloves as she sat at her desk with her feet propped up, her earbuds in listening to music. She glanced over at her roommate, the redheaded bombshell herself Mary Jane.
Mary Jane loathed Gwen Stacy, her quirky behavior, punk rock outfit choices and her bad habit of suddenly disappearing really got under her skin. Unfortunately for her, they applied and got into the same university and were forced to share the same room with no chance to swap roommates. Though ironically, as much as she detested Gwen, she loved and admired Spider-Gwen.
"Sup Spideyfans? It's your friendly neighborhood Spider-Gwen, just dropping by to show you my little food baby" she moved the camera around, showing her bloated belly at all possible angles, "and I wanted you all to learn a little secret talent of mine." She then took a deep breath and let out a massive belch into the camera, "Hehe bet ya didn't think little ol me could let out a burp that big huh? Well that's all for now, stay safe and don't do anything stupid!" She held up a peace sign before swinging off and ending the video.
Gwen looked over and scoffed, "She calls that a burp? I can outburp that prissy little tinkletoed goofball"; those words setting Mary Jane off, who leapt up from her seat and got in Gwen's face. "Like Hell you can, Spider-Gwen is a belching queen and you're just jealous you'll never amount to anything like her!" she shouted, grabbing a soda can and shoving it in her face, "if you wanna run your trap, how about you put your money where your mouth is and prove it?! Bet you can't even beat me!"
"Is that a challenge?" Gwen asked while snatching the can, "Because if so, I'll happily put you in your place!" MJ scoffed and took a can of soda for herself and they both quickly opened and chugged down their drinks. Both the women finished their drinks with a satisfied "Ahhh" before beginning their contest, MJ breaking the silence and going first.
"Buuurrrp!"
Gwen rolled her eyes, "Really? That's all you got?, THIS is a burp!" She took a deep breath and let out a significantly longer and louder burp.
"BwwWwwwWoooOoooOOOrrrrrrRRRRRPPPPP!!"
The force of her belch caused Mary Jane's fiery red hair to blow back, causing her to scowl at Gwen before trying to retaliate with another burp.
"Urrrrp!"
Gwen laughed in her face, "Wow seriously? I actually am wasting my time right now with this, let's finish this!" She took another deep breath and patted her tummy before releasing another blast of belch at MJ.
"BeeeeeEEEellLLlLLLLLllllCCCccccHHHHHhhhhhhhHhhhh!!!"
That belch was powerful enough to send Mary Jane flying back and slamming into the door. MJ got back to her feet and dug deep for the belch that would put Gwen in her place, doing as Gwen did before letting her burp out.
"B-buurr-rpp!"
Gwen simply crossed her arms, with a horribly smug expression on her face, and said "We're done here", those words made MJ furious and she stormed out of their room, eyes welling up with tears at her inability to stick up for her hero. Gwen felt a little bad about it, seeing as she tried to stick up for her hero and all, but it was always nice to pop egos before they got too big.
As she was about to pop her earbuds back in, sit back down and just chill the rest of the day; her stomach let out a large growl. "Damn... probably shouldn't have skipped breakfast and lunch..." she thought to herself, "but I'm broke and can't afford anything to eat...". She sighed and rubbed her tummy, thinking about how to score some food, for about an hour before she remembered something that would solve her hunger and money problem.
"The 5th Annual NYC Superhero Hot Dog Eating contest is today," She exclaimed with glee; "I forgot about it!" She quickly changed into her Spider-Gwen costume and made her way to Downtown Manhattan where the festivities were taking place. There was a massive crowd of people, everyone sporting the costumes of the heros and heroines they admired from Captain America to Iron Man to Spider-Gwen.
She touched down a few blocks away, changing back into her normal attire before making her way to the stage where the contest was being held. As she reached the stage, she saw there was already a contestant sitting there; an older woman with a messy bun, an AC/DC t-shirt, tie-dye leggings and a pretty sizable potbelly that touched her knees that drew most of Gwen's attention. The woman seemed familiar to Gwen but she couldn't quite put her finger on her identity.
She tore her eyes away from the woman to find the contestant sign-up person when she spotted anothet familiar face, this one she REALLY didn't want to see there: Mary Jane Watson, sporting a Spider-Gwen hoodie. As Gwen saw her, MJ saw her too and quickly charged at her and grabbed her by her shirt; "The hell you doing here Stacy? Gonna ruin the rest of my day too?" Gwen shoved her off in anger, "What? No! I was just gonna participate in the hot dog eating contest because I'm hurting for cash!"
MJ smirked, "Oh you were, were you? Well how's about I sign up too and win so you don't get a penny of that $5000 prize?" Gwen frowned and yelled at her, "Are you SERIOUSLY that petty Mary Jane? I win one burping contest and suddenly you have to try to screw me over?" But Mary Jane wasn't listening, she grabbed Gwen's hand and dragged her to registration, signed them both up and dragged her up on stage. Gwen pulled her hand away and sighed when MJ took the seat next to the other contestant, leaving Gwen to take the seat to MJ's right.
"This is gonna suck", Gwen thought to herself as she looked on at the growing crowd of people.
