This is the end! I just want to thank everyone for reading, following, and reviewing this story. I had a lot of fun writing it, but I think it'll be some time before I do anything like this again.

However, I'm accepting requests on my tumblr, there should be a link to it on my profile. So if there was something you wanted to see written but didn't get written head over to my tumblr and send a request or send me a PM here.


"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' -Eleanor Roosevelt

81) Theatre

Skipper was used to the one of the boys sneaking out after curfew, Rico was certainly a repeat offender of that and every now and then Kowalski would slip out; he never exactly what for too. Therefore, he was honestly surprised and a bit disappointed when he discovered that Private had started sneaking out to go to the local theatres. Because, honestly, what male 20-something sneaks out to go see an amateur production of Macbeth?

82) Love

It was sometime between waiting at Rico's bedside after his accidental overdose and watching Rico break down after Skipper had verbally ripped him apart for seeing Julien, that Kowalski had a startling realization; he had fallen in love with his best friend.

83) Fun

Setting up for the Holiday Street Festival was never fun, at least until the Penguins came to Park Avenue and while a neighborhood wide snowball fight wasn't the most productive, it was quite entertaining.

84) Paperwork

"Where in the name of sweet democracy did this paperwork even come from?" Skipper shouted when Kowalski set another stack of papers on the table.

"This is all standard paperwork that you should be filling out at the end of every week."

"Wait, every week? How come this is the first time I've seen it?"

"I took it upon myself to take over all paperwork after you used the incident forms as coasters when CENTRAAL first sent the new regulations saying that each team in Project: Habitat had to track everything they did. Besides you have more than enough time to fill out the forms now."

"Wipe that smirk off your face, soldier. Just because I have to be a pencil pusher until CENTRAAL clears me for active duty again, doesn't mean I'm not your commanding officer." Looking over the various expense reports was enough to make his head spin, and then he noticed something that made him look up at Kowalski with suspicion. "All these forms require my signature, how did you get around that?"

"Rico taught me how to forge your signature, but if you want to handle all the paperwork after you're cleared I won't have any objections."

85) Oh Brother

Mason supposed there was some benefits to having siblings, but coming home to see that Phil had once again single handedly trashed the apartment again, he couldn't see any. For a moment, he wondered if it would have been better if he had a sister instead of a brother.

86) Cute

"Aw, just look how cute he is!" Kowalski cooed gently stroking the small lime green jelly-like cube with his finger. It chittered and eagerly crawled into his hand, "Who's a cutie? Who's a cutie? You are! You're a cutie!"

"Uh, Kowalski? Should we be worried? Since your experiments always seem to go horribly wrong." If only Skipper could say that this was the strangest thing he had witnessed, but it didn't even break his top twenty.

"Come now Skipper, how could something this cute turn out to be dangerous?" Rico had joined them with freshly cut pineapple chunks, which the jelly-cute absorbed eagerly before nuzzling the weapon expert's hand practically begging for more.

"I believe we say the same thing about Private." However, Skipper's words were ignored as the three men huddled around Kowalski's creature.

"Aw, what are you going to name it, K'walski?"

87) Marriage

Sometimes Marlene wondered if she had over reacted to Skipper telling her that he had been married a few years back. Then again how she found out gave her a rather good reason for flipping out, waking up to hear your boyfriend saying another woman's name never ended well.

88) Dangerous

"I'm proud of you, James. I always thought that transferring you to CENTRAAL would turn you into some sort of namby-pamby, but I see it's improved your undercover skills. I mean really, plush toys and pink bows, I bet not even your team suspects that cold-blooded agent beneath." Private tried not to wince at the rest of his uncle's words, only focusing on the fact that Nigel was proud of him.

"CENTRAAL deserves more credit than you give them; they've put a lot of dangerous people away."

"I always felt that they've given those dangerous people second chances that they don't deserve. You can't really expect those types of people to remain loyal, can you?" The look Nigel gave him was scathing and Private ground his teeth before replying.

"Then it's a good thing I transferred isn't it?"

89) Roommate

"What was I thinking putting up that ad for a roommate?" The words left Marlene before she could stop them, taking a moment to look around the practically destroyed apartment.

"Well that's the thing Marlene," Kowalski commented from where he and Rico were scrubbing the living room walls, "you weren't."

"Shut up and keep scrubbing." She snapped returning her attention to the kitchen counters; Rico was still working on the cabinets, unlike Skipper who was watching them work with a coffee in hand.

"I'm just glad that spy is gone."

90) Curious

Kowalski could always blame it on the eggnog and lack of judgment later, but he was genuinely curious about what it would be like to walk over to in the middle of the annual Christmas/New Year's party and kiss him. Would Rico's lips be soft? Would Rico even return the kiss? If so, would it be gentle and heartfelt or rough and fleeting? There were many questions attached to just that one thought, that one thought all because of curiosity and what kind of scientist would he be if he ignored his curiosity?

91) Mistake

"Now you're sure you can handle this Private?" Skipper asked his voice doubtful; Mrs. Jones's bunch could be a lot to handle. Even Eggy on his own was a challenge for all four of them and now Private would be watching Eggy, Bradley, Ramona, and Samuel on his own.

"It'll be no problem, Skippa. The ducklings adore me, remember?" Reluctantly Skipper agreed and hoped that going to the monster truck rally with Kowalski and Rico wasn't going to be a big mistake.

92) Short for Something

"I was just thinking, Skippa you nickname everyone on the team, right?" Everyone paused hearing Private's question, giving the youngest member of the team an odd look.

"Where are you going with this Private?"

"Well, you call me Private, Kowalski's first name is Nicholas, you're Skippa, but Rico is just Rico, unless Rico is short for something else."

"Don't you dare," Rico growled at Kowalski when the genius opened his mouth to speak.

"It's not that bad." Kowalski rolled his eyes before turning to Private, "Rico is short for Federico." There was a moment of silence before Private burst out into a fit of giggles unable to control himself. Once he composed, Private looked over to Rico to apologize for laughing, but burst into another fit of laughter, which then prompted Skipper and Kowalski to chuckle a bit.

Rico stood muttering a rather colorful phrase in Spanish and left the table to get some air, but to before making sure to hit Kowalski on his way out.

93) Quiet

Anyone who lived near the Penguins was grateful for the quiet that came with missions out of state, of course the quiet lasted only a week or so, sometimes two or three. However, when three weeks of silence turned into a month, then months, everyone agreed that the neighborhood had gotten too quiet.

94) Shock

Marlene had just stepped into her apartment when the phone rang and she received the news that sent her to her knees.

95) Fear

Kowalski and Rico had faced mad scientists, cannibals, rogue assassins, and even death, but none of that compared to the fear they felt when Skipper had walked in on a rather intimate moment between them.

96) Stupid

Even after going over what she would say to Skipper a thousand times in her head, the minute Marlene saw him, she couldn't stop saying how stupid and jealous she had been. Thankfully, Skipper took her back anyway, although it wasn't as if he wouldn't have. After all, he felt stupid for not being more open with Marlene and driving her away in the first place.

97) Ready

This was it, his first mission as acting team leader and Private wasn't going to let anyone get between him and a successful mission. He was ready to prove just how great a leader he could be.

98) Girls' Night

"I do not know what you see in that man, I mean really he can be so insensitive." Rico made a noise of agreement at Julien's comment. While the prince pulled his attention back to painting Marlene's toenails. "You picked a good color Rico, Marlene you'll have to wear those peep toe shoes, the ones with the blue bows, really kick up the fabulous."

"Oh come on guys, I know Skipper can be an ass, but what guy doesn't have faults. For example Rico, how many times has Kowalski forgotten about a date night? At least a dozen, but you still love him anyway."

"That's true." The weapons expert nodded, mindful of Marlene painting his fingernails a dark teal color.

"Whatever, I am single and loving it." When Marlene had first planned to have Girls' Night, she had planned to have more girl friends; instead, she had a lot of guy friends and no girl friends to speak of. However, she really couldn't imagine a better Girls' Night than this, although she wished that Roger didn't have to cancel.

99) Forgive

This was not what any of the Penguins had in mind when Burt said that he needed their help because, "He never forgot."

100) The End

Skipper had heard once that the end would come quickly if you wanted it to, but seeing all his neighbors as well as his team having the time of their lives made him wish that the end would never come.
