One New Year's Eve, Mary Jane Watson tried to set Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy on a date by suggesting they see the ball drop.
Gwen was later kidnapped by Electro and Vulture as part of Doctor Octopus's plan to take over the world. He coerced George Stacy into infiltrating the Department of Homeland Security office in New York to upload a virus. However, Spider-Man saved Gwen and stopped Doctor Octopus.

That night, Peter Parker spent the night with his Aunt May while Gwen stayed at home with her father. Peter tried to call Gwen but George had taken her phone so she could rest. Liz Allan went to Peter and told him that she broke up with Flash Thompson and wanted to be with Peter. The two kissed at the stroke of midnight while Gwen was on the phone.
