Reason number 24 not to fall in love with Phil Lester, he almost definitely stole a driver's license.

"Phil. You're absolutely positive you know how to drive?"

Phil put his hand on the wheel, glancing over at me. "It's not that hard..."

"I could drive."

"I'm not purple! I got this."

"Adrian." I turned around to look at my brother in the back seat. "Buckle up." I instructed, watching him quickly wrap the seatbelt around his waist.

"Dan, you buckle up too." Phil said, fixing his mirrors. I did as I was told, clicking the belt into place.

Phil took a deep breath, putting the car into reverse and slowly pulling out of the driveway. My hand tightened on the arm rest, the nervous pulling me under a wave of stress.

Once we were on the road, Phil put the car in drive. We took off down the street, relaxing in our cushioned seats. We drove in silence for a few minutes before a soft snore let us know that Adrian had fallen asleep behind us.

Phil tapped his thumbs against the wheel of the small car. "Can I tell you something, Dan?"

"Uh... Yeah?"

"It's just.. I'm sorry I get mad at you for not being my friend."

"Don't start this again." I shook my head, holding my hand up. "It was my fault and you know it."

"I already told you how happy I am when I'm with you." Phil gasped, and the car swerved. I put my hands on the dashboard.

"Phil, wh-"

"Happy!" He cheered. "I feel happy!"

"Okay?"

"I didn't say yellow!"

"What, did I free you from a curse or something?"

"The sun is shining bright! That house is flying at us, the flowers are blooming brilliantly, and I'm happy!" Phil exclaimed.

"Phil, I'm really happy for you, but can you explain?" I put a hand on his shoulder.

"I don't know, it's just... I'm not just yellow. I'm happy." He smiled at the road in front of him.

"That's great, but... That house was pink... and so were the flowers."

"I- Uhm... Oh." Phil took a deep breath. "I got really excited."

"I could tell." I started laughing.

"A burst of energy."

"Uh huh." I continued, running my hand over my face.

"PJ said you were in love with me."

I've never stopped laughing so fast in my life.
