Chapter Two - Briar Rose

(Rose's POV)

After spending the whole morning asleep, I crawled from my bed and quickly got into my duck onesie and sat in the kitchen. All I really had were the essentials, and two stools at the counter going along one wall. I opened my laptop and plugged in the SD card from my camera, ready to edit the crap out of my video when there was a knock on my door. Sighing quietly, I went to open it, blinking in shock at the sight before me.

Stood there with matching smiles was Dan Howell and Phil Lester. AmazingPhil and danisnotonfire. Two of the five people that inspired me to make my own channel. Standing in my doorway.

"Hi Rose, I hope you're not busy, me and Phil were thinking of showing you around the area, just so you don't get terribly lost one day." I stared up at them, being at only 4'10 they were giants compared to me. Fantastic giants that have been part of my life for almost five years. Gorgeous giants that want to spend time with me. Incredibly beautiful giants who already knew my name. Wait.. what?! Blinking suddenly, I nodded. "Yeah! Yes, um, sure. Do you guys wanna come in for a minute? I'm sort of... A duck." Dan laughed softly and nodded, stepping inside and heading to the kitchen. Phil however stopped next to me to whisper, "Don't worry, I didn't tell him about yesterday." Smiling slightly, I gave a small nod before rushing off to my room. What the hell happened yesterday? Oh! Oh. Crap. I completely forgot I'd made a fool of myself right in front of Phil, I hadn't even said one word to him. I still hadn't properly, my answer had been mostly aimed at Dan. Sighing to myself, I opened my phone for Facebook and posting a quick status about meeting the upstairs neighbours and forgetting I already met one yesterday whilst being clumsy as per usual.

After getting rid of the onesie, hopping and jumping into my skinny jeans and changing my top twice, I returned to the kitchen with a smile. "So, what's on the agenda for today?" They both turned to stare at me and I blushed, pulling at the hem of my yellow smiley face shirt, signed by Chris Kendall himself. "What..?" "Rose, you have so many videos you've not even edited." "There's enough content here to last you several months of weekly updates." "You could do so much with these, and you don't have any terribly awkward first videos because you've had great edits from the start." I blinked at them both before laughing quietly. "Okay, nice joke. Now let's go." "I wasn't-" I just smiled a little at Phil before walking over, closing my laptop and staring at them until they stood up and left the flat ahead of me.

"What about this sofa?" I turned to see Phil stretched out on a giant multicoloured plush sofa, with checked cushions. "Maybe not, that would take up my entire living room! Plus I doubt I could afford it.." I muttered the last part to myself but I noticed Dan smiling a little at me before pointing out a simple two-seater one that was a soft blue fabric. "How about that?" I nodded, navigating my way through the different furniture to try it out. As I sat back into the cushions I wondered how I ended up in Ikea with two of my idols, but Phil interrupted my thoughts by jumping onto the space next to me. "I like this one, it's really cozy." He grinned, leaning back to look at Dan standing behind us. "What d'you think?" "It's very Rose, all.. tiny." "HEY!" I reached out to slap playfully at his arm but he danced out of my reach. "That's it Howell!" I hurried after him, climbing over various chairs and sofas to catch up to him.

(Phil's POV)

After I managed to stop Rose from trying to kill Dan, we went back to actually shopping, going into the basement of Ikea to find the small table and chairs Rose wanted for her kitchen, the tiny blue sofa, a stereo and some canvases of space Dan had found. It wasn't long before Rose was sat on the trolley with her camera and me and Dan pushed her around, stopping whenever we found the right item.

"And that's everything! Wow, who knew we could get so much flatpack things. The wonder of Ikea!" I laughed and sat next to her on the sofa we'd managed to get on top of the packed up table. "If you hadn't guessed, this here is Phil and his best friend, Dan! It was their idea to bring me shopping and naturally I had to get new things for my new flat with my new friends, which means a new video!" "That also means new videos from me and Dan so watch out for them!" Dan walked back over to us then, along with one of the workers. "Thanks for being our friends, flowers!!" I yelled, before stopping the video as Rose stared at me. The woman that spoke to us arranged with Rose to have everything delivered later today at only five pounds cost which was definitely worth it, then we could help set everything up. She looked a bit annoyed actually, but maybe that was because we'd been sat on the sofa, I shrugged it off though and grinned at Rose. "Isn't this great! You won't have to do everything in the kitchen now, or sit on the floor at the coffee table. Once you get new furniture, you've properly moved in." I smiled as she nodded. "Yeah, I guess you're right. I'll have to invite my uni friends round somewhen."

The three of us kept chatting as we walked back home, it was only a thirty minute walk and it was a nice evening to just walk and relax. We didn't really talk about anything, just what Rose studied at university - film - and where she went to uni - Surrey - some about fellow youtubers, and tv shows came up once or twice. "Do you want to come in while I wait for everything to get here?" Rose broke the conversation, but me and Dan looked at each other before shrugging. "Sure, why not?"

I had to admit it felt weird coming into our building but not actually our flat. We'd heard the family below were moving out to a house, apparently they had a baby on the way and they had too much money or something.

(Dan's POV)

I nodded to Phil's answer, following them into Rose's flat. Straight away I sat on the floor in front of the coffee table, patting the floor next to me and Phil joined. "I'd offer to make tea but I only have two mugs." Smiling at the small voice coming from the kitchen, I turned to reply. "It's fine, I'll go without." "Sure?" I nodded and leant back, causing her to get on with the teas. "So you knew what she calls her fans? Flowers?" Phil sighed and gave me a look. "I knew it from the first video I watched, and its not very surprising if you think about it. She shares the name of a flower, so they're her flowers." I was distracted from my interrogation by Rose bringing in the teas, sitting next to Phil and handing him the Narnia mug, keeping a winnie the pooh mug for herself.

After about an hour of sitting listening to music and scrolling through tumblr on Rose's laptop, the doorbell went and me and Phil went to help bring in the new furniture.

(Rose's POV)

"Well, today was fun and very tiring. I may end up sleeping on my lovely new sofa tonight... The guys helped bring everything in, and my rooms look like what they're supposed to be!" I laid back on the sofa, curling up onto my side. "Goodnight flowers, see you soon." I stopped the video, editing it onto the end of the already edited shopping video and clicking upload, my eyes dropping.

AN: Okay.... sorry it's been so long since I updated. Short story is, I forgot about both of my fics. And this is probably going to have an update once a week on Sundays, at least until my exams are over in a month.

Its been Sunday for 44 minutes.... this counts, right..? RIGHT???

Thanks, ily - Z <3
