Blue: Hera hurry up, we need to finish this soon!

Hera: Hang on, I need to make this banner just right.

Helena: He's coming. Everyone hide!

The sound of keys came from the hallway, followed by the door closing.

Perizou: Hey, everyone, I had an idea for the next arc. I'm thinking Hera could end up going to

He is interrupted by a group of people jumping from behind the furniture.

Everyone: Surprise! Congratulations on 100 chapters!

Perizou: AHGFZJK...

he stumbles back, and the groceries falls on top of him

Blue: Oh shit. Sorry!

Hera: Peri! are you ok?

Hera rushes to Perizou, trying to help him.

Greyson: What is the matter with you, laddie? Ye need to be ready for any attacks.

Perizou: Dude, this is my home, and I left the keys with Hera. I wasn't expecting to be jumped by anyone in my own house!

Helena: Well, you can't expect us not to celebrate this now, can you?

Perizou grabs the groceries with Hera.

Perizou: Yeah, fair point. And this was a lot. I was only away for two hours. How many balloons is that?

Bonnie: 150, it was supposed to be 100, but we didn't find the bags with 50, only 75.

Leo: And we had a competition. I was going well, or so I thought.

Leo stared at Mark

Mark: Hey, you are the one who suggested the race. Not my fault you have the lungs of a squirrel.

Perizou: Don't worry, guys. I loved it. But we are going to need more food. I only bought enough for three people.

The doorbell rings and Hera opens the door, Runir is on the other side with a pile of pizzas on hand.

Runir: You guys needed someone to save your asses, right?

Blue: Yep. Thanks for helping, sorry for calling you so late we weren't sure if it was going on today.

Thomas: And I have arrived. Thank you, noble squire, for bringing me here.

Thomas pats Runir on the back and places a 50 gold bill on his pocket.

Thomas: Now that the main character has arrived, the party shall start.

A large muscular hand grabs cover Thomas's mouth and pull him to the hallway.

Frostbite: Sorry about that, Perizou. He wasn't supposed to be here yet.

Perizou: Tell me about it. Just thinking about him at this party is giving me a headache. Try to come after you deal with him.

Frostbite: Nah, some people here are not too fond of me, and I'm not one for big displays. Congratulations, though, and try to remember my retirement plan.

Preizou rolls his eyes.

Perizou: Will do. And thanks.

They set up the food in the tables and put on the party hats.

Hera: So? Is everyone ready?

She receives a nod from the group.

Blue: Peri if you will.

Perizou: Oh? Me?

Bonnie and Leo: Of course!

Perizou: Ok, on 3. 1...2..3.

Everyone turns around and looks at you, dear reader.

The whole crew: THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT!

The silly string starts flying around, covering everyone.

Hera: Thank you all for reading my story. I wasn't sure if it would be interesting.

Blue: And for keeping up with our highs and lows. We try our best to make it fun, but sometimes we get lost in our mess.

Leo: Thank you for putting up with our recklessness and obsessions. We will get better someday... right?

Leo looks at Perizou, who pretends he is not listening.

Bonnie: And sorry for any weird things. There is a lot we end up misunderstanding.

Mark: And a lot that Peri has no idea what he is talking about.

Perizou: HEY!

Mark: Am I wrong?

Perizou: No but you don't have to rub it on my face.

Helena: Don't worry, sweetie. We know you are doing your best, even when you toss us in dangerous situations.

Greyson: But next time, don't forget about me. It's been a while since A'h had a good fight.

Runir: If we are asking favors, can you give me more screen time?

Tiffany: Oh, I want that too! Me and my honey, please!

Perizou: When did this turn into a make a wish? This is about the 100 chapters, focus everyone.

Perizou turns back to you.

Perizou: One more time. Thank you so much for reading this weird little story that came out of my head.

Mark and Greyson: He means ass.

Perizou: Can you please let me do my thing? This is already longer than I expected!

Hera: Doesn't that happen every single chapter?

Perizou: No.. well... maybe... I mean... Shut up.

Perizou clears his throat and turns once more to you.

Perizou: Like I was saying. Your support means the world to me, knowing that there are people out that reading and enjoying this drives me to keep it going. I still have a lot of plans and many many characters for you to meet. I can't thank you enough for being a part of this story. As the title of this story says, this is only the beginning. Thank you for the 100 chapters, and here is to the next 100!

Everyone raises their glasses in a loud cheer.
