Spiderman swung through the city, being spiderman doing whatever a spider can. meanwhile OJ saw him, and grew jealous of spiderman's powers........
"dang i wish i could do that." oj siad, watching spiderman swing around the city with mj. "man paper would think i was so cool if i could swing around with him like that..." oj contemplated, then had an idea, to indeed, get spiderman's abilities...
OJ, using his knowledge of Spiderman from movies and comics, decided to seek out the first thing that came to mind. A radioactive spider. That was how Spiderman got his powers, right?
He rushed into Test Tube's lab, eager to see if she could help him.
"Test Tube! I need your help with something!" he exclaimed, immediately startling her out of her experiment.
"OJ? What is it?" she asked.
"I need a radioactive spider! Do you have one?"
Test Tube stared at him, deadpan.
"Let me guess, you want to be like Spiderman."
OJ simply nodded, smiling sheepishly. She sighed, turning towards one of her many shelves that was lined with unlabeled jars of past experiments.
"Fine... I don't see why not," she agreed, even though logically she would never agree to such a thing, "Just be careful, okay?"
She handed him a jar, and sure enough, there was a spider inside. OJ excitedly uncapped it and reached inside, hoping it would bite him.
The spider started to bite OJ's hand repeatedly, which made OJ much more excited. He could almost feel venom coursing through his juice, as if his powers would kick in soon enough! He was going to be like Spiderman, Spiderman! And do whatever a spider can! That was until he noticed too late that the venom wasn't giving him a trip across the city skies, but instead a trip to the hospital.
OJ passed out onto the floor, Test Tube immediately scrambling to get him help.
It turns out OJ had a rash for weeks, and hives
He’s apparently DEATHLY allergic to spiders.
icl this ending is kinda perfect what do I even write on top of this??
Okay I’ll try.
So then OJ ended up getting addicted to drugs or something and then the radioactivity in the spider slowly permanently altered him and his mindset. He started going out more and being more laidback. It was kind of concerning.
Then Paper sat down with OJ and looked him dead in the eyes.
“OJ… you need to watch this. What you’re doing… it isn’t healthy.”
OJ protested, whining like a 2 year old with his acid juice.
“Nooooo!! I’m healtheeeee!!!!!”
Paper shook his head, gently rubbing OJ’s glass and putting on the video despite his pleas.
The video was Animation vs. Addiction.
Through watching Blue, OJ was able to see the errors in his own acid trip ways. He sighed, feeling like he’d experienced enlightenment.
“Paper… I love you so much. Thank you for helping me realise the errors in my ways… I feel so #blessed to have you.”
Paper let out a sigh, feeling tears prick his eyes and he leaned into OJ.
“Thank you, OJ… that means a lot. I’m just glad to have you back. Stay away from spiders, please.”
I’m sorry I kind of lost the plot
