"... And that's it for this video! Thanks, BG's for watching and I'll see you guys... In the next Let's play! Byeee!!" I said in a high pitched voice as I ended the video. I panted as I turned off the camera. My blue green ends of my hair in my face. I smiled as I thought of my 2k subscribers watching as I cursed at how hard it was to do fan levels on Happy Wheels.

I'm not that famous. Like I said, only 2k subs. Not anything like my dream guy, Mark, has built. Just as I was beginning to fascinate about my dream guy, my phone rang. "YOUR COUSIN IS CALLING! RUN, RU-" I laughed as I picked up the phone.

"Hey, Jo. What's up?" I asked. "I just hit 5k!!!" He yelled into my ear" I gasped. "What?! No way! We are so gonna do a collab vlog for this!" I say happily, walking out of my recording room. I live in a small apartment with my roommate, DJ, who is also a gamer and youtuber.

My cousin, Jo, was so excited he couldn't speak in full sentences. I laugh as I told him I would come over to help edit.

Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Rose, but my YouTube name is BG. Short for an old name I used when I wrote. (4th wall break!!!) I left for college to learn to be a kindergarten teacher, and did for 4 years before I started gaming. I was always in love with gaming. I played on my X-box as a kid with my two younger sister. They both collabed with me sometimes, along with Jo and DJ, but not on a basis. We actually have dates on our calendars set for us to do collabs together.

I took of the black t-shirt I was wearing and but on a tank top the same color of the ends of my hair. The shirt had a pink mustache in the middle, and the words "Booper Dooper" underneath. Yeah, I ship Septiplier. Deal with it. Anyway, I grab a pair of Jean shorts and slip them on over the black leggings I was wearing while recording. I put on white flats and my teal glasses, and walked out the door to help my cousin, MOJO, with his editing.

(Jo's POV)
I smile as I finish setting up the last tripod for the vlog. I can't really wrap my head around the fact I hit 5k. As I begin to do my victory dance, I hear a knock on the front door. Must be Rose. I go to the door and unlock it, seeing her in yet another Septiplier shirt. I roll my eyes and let her in. "You know I hate it, yet, you wear it every time you're around me." She smiles and shrugs her shoulders. "You're funny when you're mad. You should really check your comments more." She says, setting her black purse down on the table in the kitchen. "Oh, I see you haven't gotten the-" Before she could finish I had a pineapple in my hand and held it in the air. "VICTORY PINEAPPLE!!!!" I interrupt, putting it on the table. She laughs as she gets the knife. "You really love pineapples, huh?" She asks, beginning to peel and slice the spiky fruit. "Yes. Yes, I do."

Yet another Time Skip
-----------------------------
I press record on the camera and smile. "Hellllloooo, everyone! MOJO here, and I think you all know why I'm not in the recording room. And I also know that I have someone here with me today." Rose comes into the frame and smiles and waves like a maniac. "HI guys!!!!" She says. I push out the way and laugh, looking back at the camera. "Rose and I are here to just thank everyone for helping me get to 5 thousand subs. 5 thousand! Wow." Rose rolls her eyes. "I would so have more you wouldn't have started before me." I roll my eyes and chuckle under my breath. "Yeah, sure. You know I'm funnier than you. I'm the best cousin!" I say, putting a fist on my chest and pounding it. She laughs and nudges me. "Anyway, Rose was here to help me celebrate with..." We pull out our bowls of pineapples and put them on the table. "VICTORY PINEAPPLE!!!" We yell and laugh at the time. "Anyway, thank you, everyone, for the 5k. I can't really wrap my head around it." I say, my eyes beginning to tear up.
"Doing this has always been my dream as a child and... I just can't believe that I have people nice enough to help make it come true." I say, wiping a single rear off my left cheek. Rose "awwwww's" and hugs me, telling me she's proud of me. I smile and hug her back. "Anyway, thank you guys , again, for helping me reach this high into the stars and for me actually having a reason to have Victory Pineapple." I laugh a little, then sniffle. "Anyway, I don't want this video to be too long, so I'm gonna end it here. Thank you guys for watching and I will see you.... In the next pineapple under the sea!!!" Rose and I laugh as I said my outro. I end the video, and begun to stuff my face with pineapples. She rolls her eyes and takes my seat, starting to edit. Then our phones chime at the same time. We looked weirdly at each other before we took them out. We open them and see we have e-mails. "That was fast." She says. I nod open it, seeing which fan got a hold of our 7th email account. Then... What we see...we couldn't believe. She gasps and smiles like a fangirl. "WE WERE INVITED TO DO A PANEL AT PAX!!!!" She yells. "What?!" I say, looking through the email. I can't believe it! Then I look down sadly. "What's the matter? This is the best thing in our lives!" She says, then I look up at her. "We're no more than a few people that don't deserve one. We're the people on the sidelines." I say sadly. She puts her hands on her hips.

"You don't make progress by sitting on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining.
You make progress by implementing ideas." She said. I smiled as she rephrased what our Nana told us. "Never give up. Believe in yourself, and you can achieve anything." I say, quoting our grandmother. She smiles. "Nana believed in us. It's time we do the same." Then I stand up. Being slightly taller then her, she looks up. "We're going to PAX!" I yell. She hugs me, and I laugh. Then she let's go and grabs her bowl.

"Victory Pineapple?"
"Victory Pineapple."

Alright, the first chapter is Done! This was extremely fun to make with Jo, and to have an idea to write at all again. I hope everyone loves it, and this is going all over our social media so everyone can read it. Thank you guyz, so much for reading and we will see you... IN THE NEXT PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA!!!!
