PHANNA
"Why do I look and act so much like you two if you say I was adopted?" I say.
Dan and Phil both give each other a certain look which pretty much says, "We should probably tell her." I saw the look and was extremely confused on what was happening. I start thinking Am I actually adopted?
My train of thought was quickly broken by both Dan and Phil trying to get my attention.
"Phanna, we have been keeping a secret from you for a while now," says Phil.
"16 years to be exact," says Dan
"Good job, Dan, you know how old your own daughter is," exclaims Phil. Both of them start arguing over Phil's sarcastic comment.
"Can you just tell me what this big secret is now?" I pretty much yell at them to try and get them to stop bickering with each other. They clearly don't hear me, so I decide just to go back to my room, and watch my best friends YouTube videos. Of course with famous fathers, I have famous friends. My best friends are Felix and Seán, but they are better known as Pewdiepie and Jacksepticeye. I don't have a YouTube channel, but both Felix and Seán say I would be great especially since my dads are both YouTubers. I have been contemplating for a while now about making a channel, but I don't think I could ever be as good as both my best friends, and my dads. I suddenly hear Dan and Phil bickering again about this stupid secret.
PHIL
"Dan, we really need to tell her that she wasn't adopted!" I say.
"We could've, but she stormed out on us!" Dan say.
"She didn't really storm out, she probably just got annoyed with our bickering." I say, "But she deserves to know we are her biological parents!"
"Let's take her out to her favorite restaurant, and tell her there," Dan says.
"That is a perfect idea, bear. She will love that. You are a wonderful dad!" I say.
PHANNA
I was called back downstairs after watching a couple YouTube videos. I purposefully watch another 20 minute YouTube video, but right in the middle of the video, Dan calls me again and he doesn't sound happy. I run as quickly as possible downstairs, so I don't get in anymore trouble, but me being a klutz caused me to trip and fall down the stairs. No one gave it a second thought, because it happens all the time.
"Phanna, did you not hear us the first time we called?" asks Dan, sternly.
"No," I say, shyly.
"DID YOU THINK IT WAS NOT IMPORTANT?!" Dan says, very angrily.
"Dan, calm down. It is okay." Phil says.
"No, it isn't! She deserves to know." Dan says.
"Dad, I am sorry for not coming down sooner. What is it you wanted to tell me?" I ask.
"Well, tonight we are taking you out to your favorite fancy restaurant, and we are going to finally tell you the truth." Dan says much more calmly now. I am so excited. I get up hug both Dan and Phil, then run upstairs to get ready. I put on one of my more casual dresses before starting on my hair and makeup. My dress is just a simple light blue color that is tight on the top and flowy on the bottom, and it reaches just above my knee. I have my everyday make-up on, but on my eyelids, I have a sparkly, blue color that matches my dress. I decide to curl my hair, and then pull a piece back. I put on a pair of black flats right before Phil asks if I am ready to go. Of course I am ready to go. I want to know this secret that was kept from me for 16 years!
DAN
To say I am nervous is an understatement. I am scared to tell Phanna. That is why we haven't told her yet. I am the one keeping Phil from telling her the secret. Now I think she is old enough to know, and I am officially ready for her to know. "Phil, is it okay for me to be scared?" I ask. Phil looks surprised that I would admit something like that, but he gives me an answer that makes my heart flutter.
"Dan, being scared means you care. You may try to be tough, but we all know you care a lot about Phanna, so go ahead and be scared, because I am, too." Phil said, "Oh, also, your tough act isn't working. The whole Phandom knows I top."
We both start laughing because we know he is right. Phanna comes down during our laughing fit, and looks confused. Of course me being me, said "You will find out soon enough."
"Well, okay then? We should get going, or we will be late!" Phil says. Of course he is the one to push us out of the house.
PHANNA
My dad officially scared me by his statement. Did they genetically modify me, so I felt like I was normal? Do I really want to know why I am so much like them? All these questions swarm through my head while we are in the car driving to my favorite restaurant. I get more nervous and anxious as we get closer. Phil could clearly see how nervous I was, because he began to wrap his arm around me and begins to tell me everything would be okay. I really hope everything will be okay.
DAN
I heard Phil calming down Phanna, but my nerves only start to climb more. How can Phil be so calm during this? We are telling our daughter that she has been lied to her whole life, and we are her biological parents. This might send me into an existential crisis! Hopefully she doesn't hate us, and I am not really ready for questions. Hopefully Phil is!
PHANNA
Dan looked like he was really stressing out over whatever I would be learning tonight. Knowing him he was probably thinking I was going to hate them, and get all angry, but I will always care about him, and love him, and not just because he is my father. To make sure he knew that, I lean over and kiss him on the cheek and told him, "Stop worrying so much. I will always love you. No matter what."
That simple gesture put a smile on his face and I could clearly see him calm down. A LOT. Phil informed us that we are finally here. I was ready to know this secret, and hopefully they are ready to tell.
