Happy St. Patrick's Day, Mr. Stark

[innitmarvelous_og]

Tony had no plans to do anything for St. Patrick's Day other than shutting him away in his workshop. He might order in some Irish themed meal for dinner but that was as far as his plans for the holiday went. However, Peter Parker had other plans. "Come on, Mr. Stark, we have to celebrate the luck of the Irish!" Peter said, trying to convince Tony to join him.

Tony said no at first, but Peter kept on nagging him until Tony eventually agreed to go to the local parade with the teen. The streets were overflowing with people dressed in all shades of green and Tony lost count of how many people he saw dressed up like a leprechaun.

As they went through the crowd, Peter spotted a group of other teens covered in mud. The teens seemed to be having the time of their lives, and before he could react, Peter had grabbed his arm, and was pulling Tony towards the mud fight, "Let's go play in the mud, Mr. Stark!"

Tony thought about resisting, not wanting to get all dirty, but then he saw how much Peter seemed to want in on the messy activity, so he followed the kid over to the group. They joined the group, and soon Tony found himself laughing and playing like a kid again.

After they had played in the mud for a while, they said goodbye to the teens, and continued on to watch the parade. Peter particularly seemed to be excited about the bagpipe players and accompanying dancers, but Tony was more interested in the floats.

After the parade ended, Tony and Peter made their way to a nearby pub. Tony got himself a beer, while Peter had a soda. They talked and joked, then realizing how late it was, ordered themselves a St. Patrick's Day themed dinner.

They were almost finished with their food when a group of rowdy patrons started a food fight, throwing green cupcakes as well as other green color snacks at each other. Of course, Tony and Peter couldn't help but join in, and of course, they got covered in frosting and crumbs.

Tony was laughing his head off when left the pub. He looked at Peter and wiping his eyes said, "You know, kid, I don't think I've had this much fun on St. Patrick's Day in years."

Peter smiled, feeling grateful for the chance to spend the day with his mentor and friend. "I don't think I have either, Mr. Stark. It's been the best!"
