Mako's Message: Another non-holiday. But what the hell it's my story and I can do what I want with it. If you've read all of the previous chapters, you should know what you're in for.


Col. Stars watched in confusion as Hit Girl darted around the headquarters of Justice Forever.

Kick-Ass was the first, well, second if you counted Hit Girl, to arrive for the night's meeting. The two of them arriving separately was odd, but it took a distantly back seat to Hit Girl's current behavior.

"What is she doing?" he asked Kick-Ass.

Kick-Ass seemed just as confused, "I have no idea."

"Seriously?" Hit Girl said, "You can't tell when a person is setting up a party right in front of you?"

"A party?" Kick-Ass asked.

"Well, it's you," Col. Stars started, "and the idea that you'd set up a party is kind of...out of character."

"A party for what?" Kick-Ass continued.

"There's that too," Col. Stars finished.

"It's for our Anniversary," Hit Girl said, "Duh."

"Anniversary? Anniversary of what?" Col. Stars was more confused than ever.

"Oh god, not this again," Kick-Ass said, covering his face with his hand.

"Did I hear someone say something about an anniversary?" White Mage's voice came down the lift.

"Yup!" Hit Girl said, "Our anniversary!"

White Mage's smile fell off her face, "Our anniversary of what?"

"Of our story. Ya know, Precocious Crush?"

"What." Col. Stars and White Mage said. Kick-Ass merely sighed.

"I know, it's kind of embarrassing to be celebrating another anniversary already, since the last time it came around almost a full year had been written, over about ninety chapters, but this time it's only been a little over five months over about fifty. Still, an anniversary is an anniversary," she said with a shake of her head.

Col. Stars and White Mage could only stare.

"Of course," Mindy continued, "It's not like there's nothing to celebrate. The number of people who have favorited and follow it have practically doubled since last time. And with the movie sequel coming out those numbers are sure to rise." Then she grinned rather sheepishly, "Of course, the comic sequel already came out so we're absurdly non-canon now, and it'll only be worse when the movie comes out. But we also have an actual TvTropes page now. The 'Moment of Awesome', 'Moment of Funny', and 'Moment of Heartwarming' sub-pages could use some love though," she said with a wink.

"Is she... even talking to us anymore?"

"I have no idea. Give her a minute and she'll snap out of it. She did last time."

"Oh, and it's gotten over twenty six hundred reviews, which means the review page more than doubled in size over the last year."

"Okay, I've always figured Hit Girl had a few screws loose, but this is ridiculous. No offense."

"Oh, none taken," Mindy said, waving the comment off, "The author is just taking direct control of me for this bonus chapter. I'll be back to normal and won't remember any of this once he's done, which should be right about-" Mindy trailed off as her eyes suddenly lost their focus.

"Aaaaaand there she goes."

"Uhm..." Mindy said, shaking her head and looking around in confusion, "what just happened? How did I get here?"

"Oh, not much. Just shaking my belief in God," Col. Stars said turning his eyes and palms towards heaven.

"Or just her sanity," White Mage chimed in.

"What are you talking about? And why does this place look like there's going to be a party?"

"Don't worry about it," Kick-Ass said and patted her on the shoulder, "lets just enjoy all the snacks and drinks you set out."

"Wait what? I did this?"

"Is this beer? Where did you get beer?"

"Don't any of you care that I can't remember the last two hours!?"
