Chapter 3

"I present to you, The Golden Chippy!" Phil declared in front of a restaurant. "This place has the best fish and chips."

"Yeah it's pretty much the fanciest place." Dan agreed as he opened the door for the group.

A waiter guided you three to your table and brought out menus. Phil shook his head and ordered three dishes of fish and chips. The waiter headed off with the orders.

"It has a cute name." You commented and looked around. Many other occupants of the restaurant were also eating fish and chips. You salivated at the sight and realized how hungry you were. You turned to Dan and Phil to distract yourself for the time being. "So how did you two meet?"

"The Internet" Dan and Phil said at the same time and laughed.

"Basically," Dan started off. "Phil was my YouTube senpai and I asked him for editing tips."

"Dan's been with me since Manchester." Phil added.

"It's like you two are friend soulmates." you said, earning an eye roll from Dan.

"Oh, don't get me started on that. Our viewers ship us together too much." Dan snorted.

"Speaking of which, Y/N, do you have a special someone in your life?" Phil asked. He punched you lightly on the arm. "You can tell me; I won't tell mum."

You laughed and looked up from your hands. Your eyes briefly met Dan's. "Nah. I haven't been focusing on dating since I left uni."

"What did you study in uni?" Dan asked.

"English. Yourself?" You were a bit glad for the change in subject.

"Law."

"Mr. Howell, please explain Mr. Lester's habit of cereal consumption." You giggled.

Dan gave Phil a side glance. "Since he steals my cereal, I believe that he is guilty."

"Dan!" Phil said. "It's not my fault. I just need to snack often."

"Wow I didn't think that he still had the habit." You burst out laughing.

Phil smirked. "I guess I am a cereal killer."

"And this is Big Ben," Phil stated while walking backward. He opened his arms to gesture to the brightly lit clocktower.

You stopped and stared up at the tall structure that seemed to erupt from the earth. Yellow lights shone around it in every direction except for the tip that was illuminated with a tint of green. While it did remind you of childhood stories, it also pushed something else up to your thoughts. "It looks very phallic."

Dan bursted out laughing. "Are you saying this is the member of London?"

"Technically, yeah, it is part of the London community."

"Y/N!" Phil cried out.

"Ironically the younger sibling is less innocent," Dan remarked and winked at you.

You shot him a smile back.

"Say no more," Phil declared and started covering his ears. "La, la, la, I can't hear you."

You rolled your eyes at his antics before your gaze landed on an open ice cream parlor nearby. You thought of how you didn't have dessert yet and pulled on Phil's jumper. He looked down and saw you scouting out the joint with your eyes.

He chuckled. "Did you want some ice cream?"

You nodded. "I'm starving."

"Dan, do you want any?"

"Nah, I'm good. I'll just wait here." Dan replied and plopped down on a nearby bench.

You practically dragged Phil off to the parlor. The front door opened with a jingle and you were greeted with 'hello's and 'welcome's. Customers ranging from whole families to couples sat around circular tables throughout the place.

"I see that they have salted caramel," Phil pointed out. "Shall I get you that one?"

"I can pay for myself," you insisted as he walked up to the counter and ordered.

"I don't get to see you often. Let me treat you."

"Fine, fine." You agreed. You two seated yourselves on the stools next to the counter. You hummed in tune with the overhead music.

"What do you think of London, Y/N?" Phil swiveled his stool to face the rest of the parlor. His attention shifts to the last setting rays of the sun outside.

"It reminds me of home with you, Mum, and Dad." You almost knew what he was going to ask when he turned to you.

"Are you sure you can't stay longer? There's plenty of room at our place."

You gave him a small smile and patted his shoulder. "I feel like my life belongs in the States now."

He huffed and pouted. "At least I tried."

It was now your turn to ruffle his hair and chuckle. "You're always welcome to visit me as well."

"I'll bring the entirety of England with me for Christmas!" Phil laughed as he went to get your orders. He returned with two ice cream cones. One held scoops of salted caramel while the other held scoops of vanilla. He handed you the former.

"I'm sure the Queen will thank you." You giggled and pushed the front door open. You spotted Dan through the crowds, still sitting on the bench. However, there appeared to be a woman speaking to him. As you got closer, you overheard part of their conversation.

"This sounds weird," the woman began. "But do you want to go on a date sometime?"

Dan smiled, not yet noticing you and Phil. "You know me from the Internet, huh?"

The woman gave him a blank stare. "Uh, no."

"Dan?" you called out.

The two turned to face you and Phil.
