Cast Thanks

Okay, so Senna left her phone on the couch again. Rookie mistake.

I sneak it into my room where Auggie's already waiting. We got the ring light set up (well, sorta — it's on top of a stack of pillows and one old cereal box but it's fine).

Auggie hits record.

ME (grinning at the camera):"Hi, people who read our book! It's me, Bear. The best character. I just wanted to say THANK YOU for putting our story on your reading lists and stuff. You guys are awesome. You're literally keeping us alive. No pressure."

Auggie throws a peace sign and makes that stupid duck face he thinks looks cool.

AUGGIE: "Bear said it. You rock."

I'm about to tell everyone how I'm definitely getting my own spin-off when the door slams open and Senna storms in, looking like a mad art goblin in sweatpants.

SENNA:"BEAR! Is that my phone?! Are you on TikTok again?!"

ME (super innocent): "Noooope."

I definitely am.

Luca shows up behind her, looking all smug like usual.

LUCA:"Told you he was up to something."

India and Egypt pop into the doorway too because those two show up everywhere together like weird twin superheroes.

INDIA: "Are we thanking readers? Because duh, they love me most."

EGYPT: "Delusional."

They start arguing — which is like, every day — and Auggie just keeps recording because drama = views.

ME (yelling over them): "OKAY, EVERYBODY SAY THANK YOU ON THREE!"

AUGGIE: "One—"

ME: "Two—"

EVERYONE: "THREE—THANK YOUUUUU!"

I do a cartwheel off the bed because I'm awesome like that.

Senna snatches her phone back but she's laughing, so she's not really mad.

SENNA: "Next time you hack my account, I'm changing the Wi-Fi password."

LUCA (smirking at the camera): "See you in Book 2."

THE END.
