You had met Dan Howell a couple of times, All those times where you stalked him around Youtube conventions didn't count. He and his best friend Phil were your inspirations, That's why you started Youtube in the first place. Luckily for you, you actually made it. Not only did you reach the one million subscribers milestone, but you managed to become the second most subscribed female on Youtube. Jenna Marbles was the most subscribed female with fifteen million, but you weren't that far off with your fourteen million subscribers.

Four million came from your Phandom blogs on Tumblr and other social medias... but you never mentioned any of that in your Youtube videos.

So what were your videos? Well you are a socially awkward train wreck who fangirls over the simplest things. That was what you talked about in your videos. It turned out that there were more fangirls and nerds out there who related to you and decided to subscribe to you. The main reason you had more subscribers than Dan was because of two reasons:

1) The guys thought you were gorgeous

2) A lot of your relatable videos were shared on Facebook. Videos like that on Facebook spread like wildfire.

A/N: Joe Weller's career in a nutshell.

Twelve of those subscribers was your grandma who didn't understand how Google+ worked so she had accidentally made twelve accounts which were all subscribed to you.

A lot of Youtubers, mainly the female ones, looked up to you and aspired to be like you. They all thought you had the perfect life with your awesome Youtuber friends and amazing salary. However, none of them knew the real reason you started Youtube. It was never for the fame. It was never for the money. It was never for the easy exit out of a proper job...

It was so you could hopefully meet Dan and Phil at a Youtube convention.

You lived in Britain so there weren't many Youtube conventions that Dan and Phil went to. Sure, there was SitC, but that was expensive and the tickets for that always sold out really quickly. There was no point even considering Vidcon and Playlist Live because before Youtube you were skint in your filthy flat which you still owed a lot of money to the landlord for.

Youtube was almost the cheap way of meeting your favorite internet stars.

You had met most of them alright from ThatcherJoe to Sir Pewdiepie, but you still weren't friends with Dan and Phil. Oddly enough for a socially inept person, you found it easy to talk to all these Youtubers. However, talking to Dan and Phil were not easy.

The first time you encountered them, it was at Vidcon two years ago. You were walking around with Tyler Oakley; Tyler was introducing you to as many Youtubers  that he knew. When you headed round the corner with his arm wrapped around your shoulders, you spotted them. Dan and Phil were talking to their friend Cat. You were so surprised that you did the first thing that ame into your head.

You screamed.

Really loudly.

Phil carried on talking to Dan, but Dan looked up with his angelic face. His beautiful smile stayed put as his luscious brown eyes found yours. It was as if everything went in slow motion. Whilst your mouth was hanging open, everyone around you were asking if you were okay. Their voices were completely blocked out by you because you were too busy daydreamng about pouncing on Dan and smothering his with kisses right there and then. It was Tyler's voice that snapped you out of your thoughts.

"Gurl, you on crack or something?"

The second time you encountered them was at Zoella's beauty launch party. You hated parties, so you decided to find the snack table. The snack table was in your vision so you rushed over to it as fast as you could. Unfortunately, your shoes got caught on your dress and you tripped up, the top half of your dress being pulled down at the same time. Little did you notice that Dan and Phil were sat right behind it, watching in horror as the entire scene unfolded. You crashed into the table with your dress halfway down your torso.

The cringe attacks didn't stop every day for months.

Ah, the third time. You will never forget the third time as long as you lived. Playlist Live 2015. Two words:

Pool + Period.

There was a pool at the hotel for Playlist. Dan and Phil were laying down on sunbeds, watching in amusement as Joe Sugg, Caspar Lee, Alfie Deyes, Marcus Butler, and Louis Cole tried making a human pyramid in the water. The girls were clapping away when Louis got on top. After the boys got off from each other, Joe begged for you to come in the poll. You were wearing your swimsuit, but it was your time of the month. You only wore your swimsuit so people didn't question you as to why you didn't want to go swimming.

Whilst Joe was begging you and questioning for you an answer, you didn't notice Alfie in the corner of your eye get out of the pool and sneak up behind you. With one swift push into the pool, your life was ruined as the water around you started to turn purple. Everyone started backing away from you, petrified. It  was only when you saw the tampon appear on the surface of the poo; that you instantly felt sick.

"OH MY GOD!!!" Zoe screamed out as everyone started screaming in shock.

What made the entire situation worse was that you had only just eaten lunch a couple of minutes before hand. You were sick. It was a pretty horrific sight.

Thankfully, not many Youtubers were there and saw what had happened. You were lucky you were popular with those people. They all agreed to keep it secret and as an inside joke. All the Youtubers that were there just laughed about it with you. Every time they did, you would have to put on a fake laugh and try to smile it off even though the memory killed you inside. Dan and Phil just glared at you with fear every time they passed you at a Youtube conventions or a party.

This time you met them, it was different.

A film director realized how mainstream Youtubers were becoming. He decided to make a movie on Youtubers. You, along with a couple of other famous Youtubers, were being cast to see who would get main roles and who would get minor roles. Essentially, you just had to be yourself to get the part as yourself, but the real audition was just to see if you were good with scripts and how many times you accidentally looked at the camera.

and this it what happened...
