"Well, everyone knows that was Chris." Dan says to Phil, pointing to the computer screen that holds BBC Radio One's incoming Twitter Mentions.

"At least no one knew it was Iris." Phil replies hopefully.

Though, as if on cue, Dan clicks the 'Load More Tweets' button, revealing some viewers' suspicion.

lol nice posh accent iris @BBCR1

@BBCR1 Iris's attempt at a British accent though>>>>>

@BBCR1 Nice try @Supriris , but we know that Canadian accent from anywhere!

i'm not the only one who just heard that iris girl from youtube on @BBCR1 right?

"At least it's all positive?" Phil tries again. Dan's hand hovers over the mouse, though Phil interrupts his actions; "Don't you dare press that button, Dan!"

"You're back on in thirty seconds." A voice cuts into Dan and Phil's headphones.

After a few more phone calls, odd conversations, and a Dan VS. Phil, the radio show finally finishes. The young men grab their belongings and find their way out of the building with security by their side (as they would rather not be mauled by fans).

As soon as they step foot out of the building, at least two dozen voices start singing Happy Birthday to Phil, in horrible unison. They end it with laughter and applause, and the look on Phil's face is priceless. The amount of love he gets from fans never fails to surprise him.

Young girls and boys individually come up to make conversation with the two, get some pictures taken, and even give Phil a birthday present. And by the time they've gotten around to about every fan, only one conversation sticks to their minds:

"Hello!" A smiley girl with white-blonde hair greeted. She then turned to Phil, directly wishing him a 'Happy Birthday!'

"Thank you!" Phil said, opening his arms for a hug. The girl gently pulled herself into his arms, holding onto him for a few seconds before repeating with Dan.

"I hate to keep the line waiting, but could you sign this for me?" The girl asked, opening to a blank page in a small journal and handing it to them.

"Don't worry about it." Dan genuinely said, with a grin. "What's your name?"

"Skye."

After both signing the page, Phil flipped through a few pages before handing it back. "Wow Skye, you've got a lot of autographs in here! Are these all YouTubers?"

"Yeah," Skye replied, giggling softly. "I feel like a little fangirl whenever I get them to sign it nowadays - considering I'm a YouTuber myself - but I started this book before I got fans of my own, so . . ." She trailed off.

"You make YouTube videos?" Dan asked, shocked.

"Yeah," She said shyly.

"What's your username?" Phil continued the question.

"CollideWithTheSkye."

"Have you made any friends?"

"Well, I've made videos with some other YouTubers; SprinkleOfGlitter, Zoella, ThatcherJoe, PointlessBlog, EmmaBlackery, Caspar Lee," She named them off on her fingers, "The list goes on. We don't really talk enough to be friends though, you know? There is this one girl named Iris, but she's quite new so I doubt you'd know her-"
