Phil
I just went out to throw the trash,but instead, something else happened. I turned around, about to walk back inside, when suddenly, this flash of black and red rushed towards me. It jumped on me, and hugged me. I hugged it back, and it took me a second to recognize that it was the girl I'd seen moving her stuff into the apartment next door
I smile down at her, but then realize she can't see me so I say,"Hello."
She lets go of me, and looks up,"Hi, I'm Phil, and yore Ashley, my favorite Youtuber."
What? I'm confused, but then realize what she meant to say. I guess she's nervous. Then, I realize she what she said. I'm her favorite Youtuber? Just me?
"Hello, Ashley. Are you and that other guy moving in next door?"
"No, just me. He was helping."
She smiles at herself, which I find completely adorable.
"Cool,"I say, not sure what else to say. The other guy she had been with had also dyed his hair, red like hers. Dan had instantly gotten a crush on him. He'd be disappointed that he wasn't staying.
"Is Dan here?!"
Of course. It lasted longer that everyone else, though. Of course I wasn't her favorite.
"Would you like to meet him?"
"Yes!!"
I guess maybe she saw the sadness in me or something, because the next second I was once again being hugged.
"You have no idea how happy meeting you makes me... and the fact that I moved next to you!"
Or maybe I am.
"Come on in, if you want to meet Dan."
She skips-yes, skips-to the door, and opens it. Nope, I'm not.
Ashley
"Come on in, if you want to meet Dan."
I run-no, skip- to the door, and open it. Manners? What are those? Behaving? That sounds like the name of a Pokémon.
Dan is slumped on the couch, and doesn't even look up when I walk in.
"Hey, Phil."
"Hi, Dan!!"
Dan realizes that isn't Phil's voice, and looks up. He sees me, and then sees Phil behind me.
"Oh... Hello?"
He gets up, and I run to him and hug him. Same slow motion, same exploding-inside feeling, it's almost exactly like hugging Phil, except Dan is more squishy as Phil is more soft.
"I'm your new next door neighbor, Ashley!"
"Hello, Ashley. It's nice to meet you."
"This is so cool, I never thought I'd actually meet you. I never thought I'd actually get to hear how Dan's voice is different in real life, how Phil's eyes look IRL, how tall you both are! You don't understand how happy I am!"
