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.
