The Exchange Program/Dan And Phil Fanfiction

Chapter 5 "YouNow"

\Phil's POV/

I waited in the kitchen for Dan as we were going to eat breakfast together like every morning.

"Philly," he said in his morning voice as he walked into the glass door that lead to our kitchen. I couldn't help but laugh at his bad luck. "You enjoyed that, didn't you?" Daniel said rubbing his forehead. I nodded, "Yes, I did actually!" I said continuing to giggle. Dan rolled his eyes and walked into the kitchen, grabbing the cereal box and making his breakfast. I did the same and began to banter.

"So, what do you think of Stella?" I asked.

"She's alright. She seems cool so I have no problem with it. The fact that she's a fan girl for us can make it a little awkward but also easier," he said smiling slightly. I shrugged and went into the living room to turn on an anime that Dan and I have been meaning to catch up on. Dan sat down next to me and I coughed, "I think the fact that she is a fan girl is awesome! She'll know what to expect from us!" I laughed. Dan smiled at me, "Okay, you win!"

As we began watching the anime, we heard a knock at our door. We both knew it was Stella and Zoe so Dan shouted, "COME IN!"

Stella walked in the room with a lovely smile. She was wearing black leggings, boots, and a blue top. She had a few bracelets on her wrists and a ring. Dan and I didn't really try to look good or anything yet because it was still morning. "Hey guys!" Zoe said. I smiled, "Hey!" I said as I looked over to Stella, "Good morning. Did you eat breakfast yet?" I asked standing up to hug the young one. Stella smirked, "Yeah. Zoe took me out to the café around the block for pancakes," she answered. Dan continued to watch the anime being completely oblivious to the fact that Stella is here. I groaned,

"Dan, as much as I love this show, we must recognize Stella and Zoe's existence," I said to him. Dan looked at me, "But what if we are not existing?"

Oh god. This is not the time for an existential crisis.

Stella giggled, looking down at her boots. I shrugged, "Well, would you care to sit down? You want some tea or something to drink?" I asked. Stella shrugged, "Um... Tea would be nice," she said. Zoe patted my shoulder, "I'll go get it," she said and walked out of the room. I tried to make conversation with Stella while we waited for Zoe.

"So, did you know that PINOF 7 is coming out soon?" I asked. Her eyes went wide and nodded, "YES!" she said in an excited tone. I laughed, "Yeah. I'll be going live on YouNow an hour before it gets uploaded so you can join me in it if you would like. You can include that in your essay. The time you spend watching a live show happen, and maybe taking part in it as well!" I said trying to sound as intelligent as possible. Stella smiled, "That would be awesome! I love your live shows!"

Stella looked over at Dan,

"What will you be doing, Dan?" she asked.

"What?" he asked back because he was clearly not paying attention.

"During Phil's live show, what will you be doing?" she asked again.

"Oh um... probably going to finish some final touches on the new video and then, go on Tumblr for another hour or two."

She looked up and down, and then at him,

"So the usual?" she asked.

He smiled at her, "Yup." She smiled back and nodded at him.

Zoe came back with the tea and sat down next to Stella, "So, do you guys know what you'll do for today?" she asked. I nodded, "Stella will be joining me in a live show and care to watch the new PINOF 7 with me and Dan. You can come pick her up around 5:00 so she can eat supper with you." Zoe nodded in agreement and talked to Stella about how if she needed anything, she can call her. Zoe left the apartment and I went to my room to set up the YouNow website. I hoped that Dan didn't start a fight with Stella while I was gone for a brief five minutes.

When I came back, I saw Stella has joined Dan in his Tumblr position and scrolling through the website. I sighed, "Damn it, Dan, she has not even been here for two days and you've already got her obsessed into the Tumblr world!" Stella looked at me, "I've been in the Tumblr world, Phil, I don't know what you're talking about," she said. Dan laughed hysterically, "You just got told by a fourteen year old girl!" Stella smiled at me, "Love you, Phil!" I smiled back and left to grab the laptop from my room and into the living room. "Dan, unless you want to join me, I'm going to start the show," I said to him. Dan got up and sighed; "I'm going to go edit PINOF 7 so yeah... see you guys later!" he said and left the room.

I started to use the webcam to fix my hair and made weird facial expressions. "Is that how you warm up?" Stella asked. I made a pouty face and nodded, "Yes." Stella laughed and took out her phone to type in notes. Before I clicked the live button, I tweeted out to everyone about the show and then, had the greatest idea, "Would you like to be introduced to the Phandom or no?" I asked. Stella looked at me, "introduced?" she asked. I nodded, "Yeah. You'll be here for a while and I'm sure everyone would like to know what we're up to and who you are in case someone sees a picture of you and us somewhere." Stella looked like she was getting flustered but I put my hand on her shoulder, "It'll be fine. If anyone says anything negative, I will dismiss their behavior and just remind them to love each other! Okay?" I smiled. Stella smiled back and nodded, "Okay."

I pressed the live button and I saw the chat begin to flow in with people. I smiled, "Hey guys! Can you see me?" I asked. I saw all my friends' type in saying yes and saying hi and saying all the lovely things they usually do. "So, how are you? How is your day going guys?" I asked and I saw the responses and it seems like everyone is having a great day. "That's great. Well, I wanted to introduce you guys to someone. This is someone that you guys will be seeing a lot these next two months!" I said and I glanced over at Stella.

Stella popped her head into frame and she smiled, "Hi, I'm Stella."

I smiled and put an arm around her for comfort,

"This is Stella. She's fourteen and she's from America! Stella is a student and she is going to be staying with Dan and I's good friend, Zoella, for two months. She's kind of like an intern or something for Dan and I. We will be teaching her everything from the BBC Radio and YouTube to our live shows like this!" I explained our scenario. Stella chimed in, "I have to write an essay over my experience with Dan and Phil and how much they've taught me and everything like that," she said smiling nervously. I nodded, "So, I hope you guys don't mind if she stays here for this live show. IT'S FOR EDUCATION!" Stella laughed at my random shouting.

The chat began to flood once again, except with the nice comments of things like, "HI STELLA!" or "OMG YOU'RE SO LUCKY!" or "STELLA IS DAN AND PHIL'S DAUGHTER! WHERE'S DIL?!"

The YouNow was nice and pleasant. It was filled with laughs and stories. I was surprised with the positive response about Stella from the guys because I know they can cause some drama from time to time. But I loved it. I have a good feeling about these next two months. I just do.
