MJ noticed. She noticed how different Pete had been lately. How Peter had been more happier recently. As of late, he'd seemed way more friendly neighbourhood spidey, like a ray of sunshine. Brighter. The only word she could use to describe how he had been the past week was... pleasant. MJ sat at the table for breakfast, Gwen and Harry by her side. She cut into her pancakes, the ones she made, woke up early to make Peter's favourite breakfast. "So, Pete.." MJ started. She gave a smile. "How's it been? Work? Getting on alright?" She asked warmly. Harry nods from besides her at the table. "Yeah, he's doing great. In fact, he's improved a lot these days." He sent a proud look Peter's way, holding Gwen's hand on the table. MJ cocked her head to the side, happy for him. But also.. confused. What made him so much more energetic recently? "Did you meet someone new..?' She asked innocently. Peter hummed, sipping his juice. "Eh, something like that." He said, flashing her a smile she found nothing more than just charming.
Plots
Throughout her initial appearances, Mary Jane was written as a foil to Peter's initially intended soulmate, Gwen Stacy, with her extroverted, fun-loving personality (a mask for her troubled home life) contrasting with Gwen being more like Peter in demeanor and intellect. Nonetheless, following Gwen's death in "The Night Gwen Stacy Died" story arc, the heartbroken Mary Jane became more caring and empathetic, and eventually one of the few people to consistently know Peter's secret identity. This would result in the two falling deeply in love and eventually getting married, before their marriage was undone in the storyline "One More Day" due to the timeline manipulations by Mephisto.
