Cubis had no idea why Dad was so excited that morning. He woke up to find Dad rushing around the living room, hanging colorful balloons and placing a giant banner that read: “1 Year Anniversary!” Cubis tilted his head and blinked curiously, his little monkey tail swishing behind him.
“What’s happening today, Dad?” Cubis asked as he climbed onto Dad’s shoulder.
Dad grinned and tapped his phone screen. “Cubis, look! Our channel just reached 999,999 viewers! Almost a million people love watching your silly adventures!”
Cubis gasped, his eyes sparkling with joy. “They… love me? They love us?” He covered his face shyly, then peeked out with a proud smile.
Dad lifted Cubis gently into his arms. “We started this journey one year ago—just you and me. We didn’t know if anyone would watch, remember?”
Cubis nodded. He remembered the days when they filmed from an old camera on a wobbly table. He remembered how nervous he felt in the first video, hiding behind Dad’s arm. But little by little, Cubis became braver, funnier, and more expressive. People loved his playful curiosity, his guilty expressions when he stole snacks, and the heartwarming bond he shared with Dad.
Together, they prepared a special live celebration. Dad set up lights and treats while Cubis practiced a small bow to thank everyone. As the big moment arrived, Dad held Cubis close and the screen went live.
“Hello everyone!” Dad greeted with a bright smile. “Today marks exactly one year since we started our channel. Because of all of you, we have 999,999 amazing viewers! Thank you for supporting us, for loving Cubis, and for being part of our family!”
Cubis waved happily at the camera. “We love you!!! Thank you for watching me grow up!” he squeaked excitedly.
The viewer count ticked upward, and suddenly—1,000,000! The screen exploded with comments and hearts.
Dad’s eyes filled with happy tears. Cubis hugged him tight, imagining all the people smiling behind their screens.
One year. One million supporters. Endless love.
And for Cubis and Dad… this was only the beginning of their incredible journey together.
