Can you find the teaser? I bet you can...'t. 
Actually, if you can't find it, I'm disappointed in you. It's not hidden.

------------

It was time for the Septics to go back home.

They would- regretfully- leave Anti behind with the Ipliers...

Henrik was especially having a hard time with that fact. He didn't want Anti to think he didn't care...

So, he was the one to step forward.

Anti felt a strong pair of arms wrap around him securely. He didn't expect it... But it was more than welcome.

This is what he always wanted.

Anti gently hugged the doctor back, smiling as they seemed to come to a silent agreement.

They were family... Officially. And they would never let anything like this happen again.

They let go, and Henrik clasped Anti's hand between his own hands, "if you EVER need anything, child... I'll ve here. I... I'm sorry... Vor everything... Goodbye vor now." Henrik took a hesitant step back before turning away and leaving. 

"Anti... Just know, there is only one true regret I will take to my grave. But I will happily take that and the blame with me... I truly think- although it's twisted- that this is the best ending for you... You fit right in here. Goodbye, Anti. You have our phone numbers if you need anything!" Sean smiled and waved before heading to the car.

"Bye..." Anti gave a small wave as the Septics finally left.

"Bye-byyyeeee Antiiiiii!!" Robbie called out the window as they started the car. "Heh... Bye, Robbie! BYE, YOU DIPSHITS!" Anti called out as they drove off. 

He gave a sigh and frowned, thinking about what could've been...

He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see Dark there.

His partner was there, and he always would be...

With everyone else, of course.

"C'mon, let's get you inside..." Dark gently escorted everyone back in before announcing, "in celebration of the fact that Actor- that son of a bitch- is dead and we have our family whole again... With the addition of Anti... We're... Having family night! Google, don't you dare whine! Wilford, get that gun away from your head. Everyone, to the theatre room!" Dark ushered the egos toward the theatre room, dragging Anti by the arm. 

"Why don't Google or Wilford like family night...?" Anti was SLIGHTLY concerned about that. "Eh. They don't ACTUALLY... They're just slightly upset they have to be in a room full of people without being allowed to be violent." Dark snickered as they entered the room, "popcorn? We're watching a movie. Extra butter?" Dark asked the questions but was already getting it, knowing what the glitch liked.

"D'aww~! You know me SO WELL~! C'mon, ya freak, I know you always like to sit in the back." Anti shoved Dark down the first few steps and found their seats at the center back. "What we watchin'?" "Whatever Google and Bing can agree on." Dark huffed in response as Wilford walked up to them and sat on the other side of Dark, "oh, boy! I can't wait to see what they choose! You know it's good when THOSE TWO kiddos agree!" 

Anti- being relatively nonchalant about most things- just sat back and stared at the screen blankly until the movie came on.

It's a horror movie.

But with a twist.
