Sad Song (Dan and Phil)

Phil POV

I came home all happy. My mom had just made cookies, and I could smell them right when I walked through the door.

"Hey Phil! You have a present here on the counter."

Wow! Cookies and presents, I would have thought it to be Christmas. I ran into the kitchen as fast as possible. My mom with her apron on, flour all over her, stood by the oven. There on the counter was a video camera. I got so excited, I ran up to her and gave her a big hug.

"Thank you so much mum! I love you!" I said as I squeezed her in the hug.

"No problem sweetheart." She said and turned back to making the cookies as soon as I let go.

I grabbed the video camera and ran up the stairs to my room. In my room I set up a stack of books as a stand. I ran over to my desk where my computer was. I went to the website: www.youtube.com. I set up an account. I had to think of a really catchy name. Something somebody would remember. I started to think. It should include my name, I thought. TerrificPhil. No, not good enough. ExtraordinaryPhil. No, not catchy. Hmmm. OrdinaryPhil? LamePhil? FunnyPhil? I spent two hours thinking. My mom came in.

"Did you make any videos yet?" She asked, holding a basket of the laundry.

I sighed. "No! I can't think of a username!"

"Hm. How about AmazingPhil?" She said, not paying attention as she started to put the laundry in the machine.

The laundry room was right next to my room, so when mom did the laundry, she would always stop by my room and see what I was doing.

"That's it!" I screamed.

I typed it in real fast and clicked the submit button. I shut my door and pulled up a chair in front of the camera. I sat down and flipped the screen over so I could see what I looked like. I had to take a book or two down so that you could see me because all you could see at the time was the wall behind me.

"Have fun making videos! Nothing bad, okay?" My mom screamed through the shut door.

"Mooommmm!"

She didn't respond so I sat back down. I thought about what to say and what my first video would be about. How about just a introduction. I had it all figured out and then I hit the record button.
