Peter sat down next to Harry, the two of them clapping hands and bumping fists before Harry came out of the gate swinging with his first question.

"I've been thinking about something, now don't freak out when I ask you this, but..." Harry began in an awkward tone.

"Go on" Peter said with a gesture.

"Now I know that you don't watch anime, that's a thing you stay away from, but from your limited knowledge of Japanese cartoons would you agree with me if I said that both Luna and Twilight could be considered anime black?"

Peter opened his mouth to respond before finding that he had no answer, scanning his mind to think of any of the black anime characters he'd come across on Youtube or top 10 lists for anything and realized that he hadn't seen any before.

"Uhhh..." he said, scratching the back of his head "What d'you mean by that?"

"I mean that... well because of the specific drawing style that makes anime... well, anime the faces are often very sleek on characters and they usually have similar features to one another" Harry began, gesturing with his hands as he spoke.

"Right" Peter said, not having been lost just yet.

"And because of this, including the wide eyes and thin noses into the equation, when it comes to anime artists drawing characters of different ethnicity they just... well they just look like white people with darker skin, they don't possess typical African-American facial features like thicker brows or wider nostrils and when some anime artists try to do it, bearing in mind these people are Japanese, they usually overdo it a little bit" Harry explained "D'you agree with me saying that?"

Peter put a hand to the back of his head and whistled quietly, picturing both of the girls in his head as he tried to compare them to any other black people he'd met in his life.

"Well... yeah, I mean Twilight's mixed race so it would make sense for her to have a lighter skin tone and inherit more features from her father while her mother is... then again... I think Mrs Velvet's mixed race herself, she and Twilight have the same skin tone too"

"If I could give an example of a character that Twilight and her mother look like in terms of skin tone I'd say Kirche Zerbst" Harry said.

"Who?" Peter asked in confusion.

Harry got his phone out and googled a reference picture for Peter to look at, the second teen's eyes widening in shock.

"Jesus fucking Christ" he said in surprise "How the hell does she stay up with those?"

"But do you see what I mean?" Harry asked "If I compare her to another female anime character, let's got with Rias Gremory from High School DxD-"

Several more seconds went by before the next reference picture came up and Peter began to see the point.

"Okay, can I just point out here that she looks like Mary-Jane to an almost scary degree?" Peter asked "But yeah, they all have the big eyes, thin noses and pointed chins, but yeah, that Kirche chick definitely has Twilight's skin tone, but, definitely not the body"

"Yeah, I think Kirche's more in line with Luna's body type if anything" Harry said, going back to the reference picture of Kirche for more evidence.

"Oh, look, we're not even past the second row and there's already an image of her with her tits out" Peter said with an unimpressed face "Apparently drawn in Okami's graphic style as well, which is just Japanese watercolours"

"But the funny thing is, if we compare Luna's skin tone with... let's say Yoruichi from Bleach-" Harry said, googling another reference picture for Peter to see "You can see that she matches Luna's skin tone perfectly but Yoruichi has Twilight's body type"

"Yes, that is something I can see" Peter nodded before looking back at his friend "Is... is there any other reason you called me to hang out with you besides finding someone else who agrees that our friends look like your loser cartoons?"

"They're... they're not loser cartoons Peter" Harry said in an agitated manner.

"Right, my bad, virgin cartoons" Peter said.

"I don't know what the hell you're laughing at, you're a virgin Peter" Harry growled.

"Well..." Peter said, swinging his arms around his friend's shoulders and pulling him closer "I wouldn't be too sure about that..."

"Yeah, what a load of shit" Harry said before looking at the knowing smirk Peter had on his face.

Harry's own expression dropped as the truth dawned on him.

"No way, with who man?" Harry demanded as Peter let go of him and began to walk away.

"You wanna catch a movie?" Peter asked "I heard they're doing reruns of the first four Rocky movies down at Cinema Three all this afternoon, your treat?"

"Only if you tell me who you slept with!" Harry demanded.

"You want deets?" Peter asked.

"I want all the deets man, if she's desperate enough to sleep with you then she's gotta be available for me" Harry grinned.

"Alright... totally telling Twilight you said that" Peter laughed, stuffing his hands in his pockets and walking away.

"Oh come on man, she'll fucking kill me for that!" Harry exclaimed in true terror.

"Especially when she finds out who I nailed and then that you want a go on her?" Peter asked over his shoulder "She'll kill us both man"

"Then just don't tell her dude!" Harry growled, grabbing Peter's arm and pulling him to a stop.

"Alright, but you're paying for the movies and the snacks" Peter shrugged "Now come on, I need to go watch Rocky fight Clubber Lang so I can get better at my own rope-a-dope technique" Next Chapter: X Marks the Men (Good Joke Right?) Estimated time remaining: 3 Hours, 17 Minutes
