And if it was real life, then it's really weird to still be friends with your ex that you lived with and nearly married. IMHO I don't think Slott still has Peter and MJ as each's other best friend anymore, and he'll drift them away from being friends. Then something will happen, and they will be friends again, then ship-teasing continues.
MJ is a force of nature, but that's only when she's in the book. I think that's what Slott is getting at right now, she won't be a major part until someone wants her to be.
