"You guys are acting so weird today. What's your problem?" Tom asked Wendy and Sebastian as they parked the car out in front of the diner, "Nothing's wrong. We're just excited to be showing you an American diner is all." Sebastian replied. Tom narrowed his eyes curiously at the two before they walked in, "How many?" The hostess asked, "Three, and can we be seated in Lilly's section please?" Wendy asked. Tom looked at her curiously, "Lilly as in your sister?" Tom asked, "Yeah she works here." Wendy replied. Tom nodded. He hadn't met Lilly before, but he's heard a lot about her from Wendy and Sebastian. The hostess grabbed three menus before walking them over to a table. Tom sat down on the opposite side of Wendy and Sebastian and started looking over the menu as they waited for Lilly to come over, "So what's good here?" Tom asked curiously as he looked between the two, "Everything." Sebastian replied. Tom laughed before he looked back down at the menu.

"Your sister's here with that fine as hell boyfriend of hers." Lilly's coworker, Morgan, said as the redhead walked away from the window with a stack of plates filled with food for one of her tables. Lilly let out a laugh at her coworker's comment about Sebastian. Ever since Wendy had popped in with her new beau a couple of weeks back, Lilly hadn't heard the end of it. Does he have a pretty friend he can hook me up with, Lils Was one oyf the comments that was always made. She knew Morgan hadn't recognized Sebastian, he was still at that stage in his career where only those who were huge fans of Marvel movies, and the occasional Once Upon A Time or Gossip Girl fan, recognized him. "Down, Morgan!" She called over her shoulder with a laugh before dropping the food off at her table, double-checking to see if they needed anything, before she made her way towards the back booth where she knew she'd find her sister and Sebastian. What she wasn't counting on was there being a third person at the table, and she recognized him immediately as the kid playing the new Spider-Man. Well, he wasn't actually a kid. He was only a few months younger than her, but he was obviously younger than Toby and Andrew had been when they donned the web-slinger's name. "Well, well, well, look who it is!" Sebastian said with a grin. "You shouldn't be surprised, you know I work here, Seb." Lilly said, giving her sister and her sister's boyfriend a quick squeeze.

Tom watched the interaction between Lilly, Wendy, and Sebastian before Wendy grinned happily as she looked over at Tom, "Tom this is my sister, Lilly. Lilly this is Tom." She introduced. Tom smiled and stuck out his hand to Lilly, "Nice to meet you. Wendy and Sebastian have been talking nonstop about you since we decided where to go to eat." Tom stated with a small chuckle. Tom would have to be blind if he didn't immediately see the resemblance between Lilly and Wendy, but also the beauty that Lilly held. Tom had only heard bits and pieces before today about Wendy's younger sister, but nothing he had even compared to what he was seeing in front of him. Sebastian gave a wide grin over to Tom before he looked back up at Lilly, "Tom is hanging out here for a couple weeks, and Wendy and I are hoping that you could show him around if you don't mind actually. Give him the rundown of all the touristy places and whatnot." Sebastian said. Tom raised an eyebrow as he looked between the two. This was the first he was hearing about him getting a tour of any kind of the area.

Lilly's eyebrows rose at Tom's words. "Have they now? Well, I hope it was only good things." Though she wasn't about to be rude or anything and not shake his hand, she did direct a look Wendy and Sebastian's way shortly after speaking. She was so onto her sister. Wendy had always been a bit of a matchmaker, trying to meddle in her friend's love lives and Lilly's as well, and she hadn't exactly been subtle when it came to bringing up the Brit sitting before her. "Of course it was only good things, Lils! Why would I talk bad about you? You're my favorite sister. But yeah, I know you're working a lot now that you've finished with school for the year, but Tom'll be here all summer filming for Spider-Man, and your apartment's in Queens, and he's filming in Queens so..." Lilly wanted to kick her sister right now, but she was going to refrain from doing so for the time being. "I'm your only sister, but whatever. I mean, Jerry just gave me more hours...but I will have some more free time than I normally do..."

@ peter parker.
Tom smiled at Lilly's words, "I haven't heard a single bad thing about you." He spoke before Wendy started speaking to her sister. Tom was completely oblivious to what Wendy and Sebastian were trying to do, but he wouldn't be opposed to spending time with Lilly. She seemed like a nice girl, and Tom would take any guidance around the area he would be calling his home for the summer, "I've heard I'm pretty good company if you're up for it. I'm not going to have much time where I'm not filming, and I was kind of hoping to explore the area while I wasn't in front of the camera." Tom explained. He knew it was a lot to ask of someone whom he had never met before five minutes ago, and he would totally understand if she said no, "Look at that face, Lilly! You can't say no to that face!" Sebastian exclaimed with a small smirk on his face.

Even if Lilly were the most coldhearted bitch out there, she was pretty sure the Brit's smile would have melted her heart. From his youthful face, dark head of curls, and big brown eyes, there was no denying the fact that he was cute. She refused to admit that to her sister, or Sebastian for that matter, because she knew that she'd never hear the end of it. She also knew exactly what her sister and boyfriend were up to, and she was only going to entertain them to an extent. She wasn't going to be rude and say no to showing Tom around New York, but she wasn't going to allow anything to happen between them either because, well, she wasn't looking for a relationship. She was still trying to sort herself out after her last relationship. She wasn't looking to get involved romantically with anyone right now. Choosing to ignore her sister and Sebastian for a moment, she focused her attention solely on Tom. "I guess I could show you around a bit." She said, offering a small smile.

@ peter parker.
Tom smiled widely at Lilly's words, "Aw that's great! Thank you!" Tom exclaimed happily. He knew that the three of them were probably taking away Lilly's time at her other table, but Tom had just gotten a tour guide that he wouldn't be completely bored with, and he was pretty excited about it. Tom quickly pulled out his phone and pulled up a new contact before handing his phone to Lilly, "This way I can just see when you're free, and I won't have to go through Wendy in order to work things out with you." He explained with a small smile. He was already really grateful for Lilly agreeing to show him around New York. He knew that he wouldn't get much free time from filming, but he was going to take whatever he could get.

Lilly knew that she wasn't going to hear the end of it later from her sister. She loved Wendy to death, but she could be a major pain in the ass sometimes when it came to relationships and things of the like. Not that she was saying that her agreeing to show Tom around New York was leading towards a relationship or anything like that, because it most definitely wasn't. She and Tom could end up becoming friends, she'd be fine with that, but she wasn't looking for a relationship right now, and she hoped her sister would realize that soon enough. "It's not a problem, honestly." She said, offering a small smile as she took his phone and entered her name and number in before sliding it back over to him. "If you went through my sister, you might be waiting years for a response." She said, earning a smack in the arm from Wendy. "Hey! It doesn't take me that long to respond to your texts."

@ peter parker.
Tom watched with an amused smile on his face at the interaction between the sisters. When Wendy said it doesn't take her that long to reply to texts, Sebastian coughed lightly and laughed, "That's the funniest joke I've heard all year, Babe." He said. Tom nodded in agreement, "You are really bad at replying to texts, Wendy." He agreed and laughed lightly. She wasn't the greatest at responding to texts right away, "I think one time you didn't text me back for three days, and by that point, the question I had was already passed the time limit to where I needed an answer." Tom explained with a small chuckle.

"You're all attacking me right now, and I don't appreciate it in the slightest." Wendy said, leaning back against the booth and crossing her arms. "It doesn't count as attacking if it's the truth, Wen." Lilly countered with a laugh. It wasn't like any of them were exaggerating, it did take her sister quite a while to respond to texts sometimes. "It is attacking, because it's not true! First of all, you're supposed to be on my side, Sebastian, and secondly, Thomas Stanley, I thought we were friends. And don't even get me started with you Lillian. You're supposed to be my sister. I feel so betrayed." Lilly rolled her eyes at her sister's dramatics. "What kind of a sister would I be if I wasn't an honest one? On that note, did you guys want something to drink? I should probably at least pretend to be doing my job right now."

@ peter parker.
Tom couldn't help but laugh at Wendy's words. When she middle-named him, he held his hands up in defense, "We are friends, Wendy, I'm just trying to be honest." He replied with a laugh. When Lillian spoke again, asking about drinks, "I'll just take a water, thanks." He stated with a smile. "That's shocking, I thought you would ask for tea seeing as you're all British and whatnot." Sebastian mocked. Tom rolled his eyes at the comment, but a smile stayed plastered on his face. He knew it was all in good fun, and he didn't mind giving the teasing right back to Sebastian. He was like another brother to Tom, "Yeah, yeah. Fish and chips. Cup of tea. Pip pip. Piss off." Tom stuck his tongue out at Sebastian.

Lilly laughed at Tom's words. "I'm sure that'll be the most stereotypical sentence I'll ever hear come out of your mouth." She said. She always found it funny when people actually believed that people were all one way because of where they were from. She knew that Sebastian had only made the comment that he had because he was messing around with Tom, Wendy had told her on a few different occasions about how he and Mackie liked to rag on the younger actor, but she knew that some people actually believed all that stereotype bullshit. "I honestly don't think I've ever seen him drink a cup of tea before." Wendy said.

@ peter parker.
Tom shrugged, "I don't have time for tea. I just can't sit around and wait for it to brew." He replied with a laugh. He knew that every once in a great while that he would sit down and actually have a cup of tea, but that was because sometimes he just got in one of those moods, "And this is the most American thing I will ever say in my life, but can I just get a cheeseburger for my food? Lettuce, tomato, all that stuff." He asked with a small smile. He was sure that Sebastian or Wendy was going to have some smartass comment to make, but he couldn't be bothered to really care because he was already having a good time at the diner. Tom could already tell that he and Lilly were going to get along really well, and he was really looking forward to spending some time with her while she was his tour guide around Queens. He knew that she was kind of thrown into the position, but he was really glad that she had accepted.

Lilly let out a laugh at Tom's words. She hadn't looked in her sister's direction once since she'd agreed to show Tom around New York. She knew there would be a smug expression on Wendy's face, not that there was any reason for her sister to be smug, because she was just showing Tom around to be friendly. Nothing other than a friendship was going to come out of this because she wasn't looking for anything else presently. "Well, we happen to have the best burgers in Queens, so you came to the right place if that's what you want." She said as she wrote down his order on her notepad. "Are you two getting your usuals?" She asked, quirking a brow in Sebastian and Wendy's direction. "You know me all too well, Lilly." Sebastian said with a grin.

@ peter parker.
Tom couldn't help but laugh lightly at Lilly's words, "I don't doubt that." He replied. Tom had always heard that small diners in big cities always had the best food, so he knew that her words probably weren't far from the truth. He watched as Sebastian spoke with Lilly. It was clear to see that the two had formed a friendship since the start of Wendy and Sebastian's relationship and Tom thought that was a wonderful thing. He knew that Wendy and Lilly were close from the countless times that Wendy had spoken about Lilly, so he was sure that it was a relief that her sister liked her boyfriend.
