Hello everyone, and welcome back to Flip Side! c:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I am so fortunate to have so many great things and people in my life, and I thought that since I update on Thanksgiving, I could just make my little list here, if you don't mind :D

To my WONDERFUL family, who's always supported me and helped me through everything, inside jokes and all--you guys are my world <3 I love you so much.

To Emily, who's stood by my side for years and hasn't left me despite all my probably irritating phases of obsessions, and who's always been there to bounce story ideas off of since I started Wattpad. Thanks for always being willing to listen even when I know you don't particularly want to :) And I know she's reading this, too, so Emily... I LOVE YOU SO DANG MUCH. REMEMBER THAT. <3

To all my other IRL best friends (Lizzie, Megan, Morgan, etc), who I've known for at least 3 years each (if not longer) and have still decided to talk to me :p Even if we aren't as close as we used to be, you each still mean a lot to me. Much love <3

To all my IRL friends, for making me smile and laugh and making school more bearable. Especially those who come up to ME and start conversations and make me feel important and worth talking to. You guys are awesome :D

To the two online best friends that I've known for years... Neiel and Sam. I may not talk to you as often as I used to, but I still love you both to death and this is my reminder to text you again in the next few days to reconcile. Sam, I hope you're doing well after high school, and Neiel, I hope you're still the bright ray of sunshine you were back when I was 11 and we first met on roleplay Instagram accounts :") 

To my current goofballs that I never would have met if not for Wattpad... Cass, Tam, and Grace <3 you guys make me smile, even if you are a little crazy ;) LOVE U

To my betas, Jamie and Siempie, for helping me to make my stories better for everyone and for silently fangirling in my messages when I send you a chapter in advance. Thanks for all the help and advice :)

To ALL my fandoms, for existing and for filling little voids in my life and fueling my creative energy... particularly the Cube. I never would have made it to this point in my writing without you. I still remember the days where I watched Graser and Think play Death Swap, long before the SMP even existed :"( How I miss it. #2YearsoftheCubeSMP

And last but not least... to all of you, reading this. THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH AMAZING READERS. Your support throughout my stories of my writing has meant the universe to me. You have no idea how far even one little comment goes for my confidence. I do read all of them, you know, and every bit of encouragement does count. Thanks to you all, I not only finished my first ever story, but I've now finished FIVE full-lengths, including one ENTIRE TRILOGY, and won several fan-voted 'fic awards that nearly made me cry when I read the results. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH. <3

I hope I didn't bore you to death or become too cheesy... anyway, this chapter is the typical 'introduction to normal life before the story plot goes haywire' sort of chapter. I tried really hard to capture the nostalgia I've been feeling lately, even going as far as  to watch some of Graser's more recent SGs, and my betas seemed to approve, so here's to you guys enjoying it, too.

Remember to follow code_cherry on Twitter and Instagram, and to vote and comment for more. Enjoy chapter one!

"Yes! I win again!" I cheered, doing a little dance in my computer chair. "Take that, Bayanidood!"

"Seriously?" he replied, his tone a mixture of amusement and exasperation. "You died less than two seconds after me. And right off spawn, too. I wouldn't call that a win, Graser."
