101 100 CHAPTER CELEBRATION

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.

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.

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 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!

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

Perizou clears his throat and turns once more to you.

Everyone raises their glasses in a loud cheer.
