Goodbye, Ironfam

Note: This one is gonna be kind of long, with a lot of flashbacks and stuff. It's honestly mostly just scenes from previous chapters, but... it felt fitting. Anything in italics is a scene from a previous video.

The video opens to Peter sitting on his bed. Lady and Chloe are lying beside him asleep.

"Hey, Ironfam," Peter says, smiling lightly at the camera. "So... I've been doing this channel a while now, almost three years. And I've loved every second of it, believe me. But... life's happening. I turned 18 last month, and I'm a senior in high school, and I've applied for early admissions to college, and got accepted to study business, and minor in dance. After I graduate college, I'm going to take over Stark Industries. And just... between high school, and dance, and preparing for college and to take over the company, and Spider-Man, there's just... not enough hours in the day, you know?"

Peter hasn't moved.

"I had so many ideas for this channel," he laughs weakly. "And I am genuinely so sad to say goodbye to it. But I think it's time. Not only is my life crazy, but Ned, MJ, Harley and I are applying to college. Betty and Ismay are going to Germany to study abroad for the rest of senior year. Dad's busy with the team, and Mom's only a month and a half away from her due date for Hailey and Oliver. We're all getting ready to go our own ways, and with life's chaos... it's impossible to keep this up. I'm really sorry, because I love this channel and I love you guys, but I'm stretching myself too thin."

"However, before I turn the camera off for the last time, I think we need a proper goodbye," Peter smiles. "So... let's have a montage, why don't we?"

Peter's standing in the living room, filming Natasha, who's sitting on the couch, reading a book.

"Nat, it's time for our farewell to the Ironfam," Peter says. "What was your favorite video to film?"

"Hm," Natasha thinks for a moment. "That's kind of hard, there were a lot of fun ones. I guess my favorite would probably be your sixteenth birthday, I really liked spending that day with you and watching Tony and Pepper adopt you."

Peter and Natasha are standing outside, by a busy street.

"Hey guys, welcome back to the Ironfam!" Peter says excitedly. "So, today is my sixteenth birthday, and first, a lot of you guys have been commenting on my social media, telling me happy birthday and stuff, and I just... thanks, guys! I'm not actually sure how you all knew, but whatever. It's nice!"

"I feel like you should be more concerned that they all know your birthday," Natasha says.

Peter shrugs. "Eh, whatever. I don't care all that much. Anyway," he turns back to the camera. "Mr. Stark sent me out 'grocery shopping' with Nat, and he's trying to make me think that he and Pepper and everyone forgot it's my birthday, but Nat told me happy birthday as soon as we got out here, and also, I know he set an alarm on his phone just to make sure he didn't forget. Plus, he had to write it down, like, a million times when I came to live with him, so... I'm pretty sure he knows when it is. Which means he and Pepper are probably doing something secret up there that I'm not supposed to know about, but... that's their fault. They should be more sneaky."

"Give them a little credit," Natasha says, laughing lightly. "They're trying."

"Yes, I know they're trying," Peter says. "And I think that is very nice of them, and I am very excited to see what they come up with. I was merely pointing out that I don't know they're doing something because I snooped, I know because they're not sneaky."
