#### Spider-Man's Key to the City

*"People of the city of New York, I am here today because I fell 62 stories and someone caught me. Someone who never asks for anything in return. Someone who doesn't even want us to know who he is. I ask you: When you're dropping without a parachute or your store's being robbed or your house is on fire, who is it that brakes your fall, puts out the flames and saves your children? Spider-Man! Then let's hear it! For your one and only friendly neighborhood... Spider-Man!"*
―Gwen Stacy[src]
Before the celebration, Gwen met Eddie Brock who started taking pictures of her, making her amused by him.

As Peter and Gwen arrived at the Jazz Room, Peter started to openly flirt with her by kindly gestures her to sit down when they found a table and by making her feel more beautiful than she actually was by making her compliments and approaching his face by hers and smiling. Gwen was amused and was having pleasure with it, as she always had a crush for Peter, but when she noticed Mary Jane she asked Peter if he wanted to leave with her in order to go to an another place and not ruining their evening. Peter claimed her he would be fine.

Gwen was schockingly surprised by him as he started to jump into the tables, then jumping to a chandelier, taking a chair and swipe off her jacket in front of her. The crowd started to cheer and Gwen, forgetting there was also Mary Jane, started to have more fun as she thought Peter was doing this by declaring his love for her. On the second part of the dance, Peter approaches to Gwen by holding his hand in order to propose to dance with her. Gwen was grinning with an amused look, as they started to dance slowly their faces close together. During the dance Peter suddently throws in a fancy move, with a Gwen who was laughing by this unexpected move.

The night she dated Peter, Gwen was more beautiful than ever wearing a black matte jersey dress with shawl, high heels,dark pantyhose and earrings. Many people at the Jazz Room,especially males where looking at her. Although, she was also very naïve realzing later Peter was using her to make Mary Jane jealous. Sometimes, her flirty behaviour and appraisment dressing could be misinterpreted as Eddie Brock confused their friendship with a romantic one and Mary Jane believed Peter was trying to push her away with Gwen, after he kissed her, despite he claimed her they were just friends. Even if she could be sometimes impulsive with her flirting behaviour towards people she was fond,as Peter, she was also hesitating when she was pressed to kiss Spider-Man and she did it only when he encouraged her. She was also very honest, being worried of Mary Jane's feelings while going out with Peter and asking him if he wanted to leave with her. Gwen was shown to be very apologetic to Mary Jane, when she realized Peter, under the influence of the symbiote, was using her to make Mary Jane jealous. Despite her beauty she never took advantage on man in order to gain what she wanted.
