"Did you miss me?"
"Miss you? You're a jerk, you didn't even say goodbye."
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Aspen and Dan were best friends from birth until they were 8. And then Dan moved away, no goodbye, no contact, just gone. Without a trace.
Six years later...
"DANIEL JAMES HOWELL GET OFF OF ME" I shout, giggling as he jumps on top of over my duvet.
"Get up! Get up!" He shouts back as he climbs off.
"You're the worst-best friend ever. Why do I have to get up when it's only-" I glance over at the alarm clock "-shit. It's 1:00?"
"Why yes. And thanks for the compliment. A man can only try his best" He grins down at me.
Phil strolls in to see Dan struggling to get me out of bed
Oh, right. I'd better update you:
We left school a year and a half ago. Dan finally started uploading about a year ago, and already has 1.7 million subscribers. I have 2 million, because I'm better. I kid, I kid. We both tried college, but we dropped out. At least I went for a week longer, but it sucked without Dan so I left as well. We moved into an apartment, with our new best-friend Phil Lester. He does YouTube as well. He has about 1.5 million subscribers.
Beth and Tori are engaged, Dan, Phil and I are still single though. Although, Phil has been dressing smartly and disappearing off places recently. Maybe he isn't single? That would be so cool!
Anyway, life finally got better. We are all happy. Although, I may have a teeny weeny crush on Dan. Ok, a big one. He doesn't feel the same way though, I can tell from the way he looks at me. If he was, it would be the same look he had that day. When he kissed me. Now he looks at me with a different look. Like love, but the type of love you have for a family member.
Right now, we are meant to be going shopping for Playlist. Oh, right, we are going to Playlist. In a week. I'm so excited to meet my viewers! And my internet friends, I know all the other British you tubers fairly well, and a few of the American ones. And who could forget about Troye? We are friends too. I love him as well, he so sweet!
After 20 minutes of the guys moaning at me hurry up and me telling them "the more you moan, the longer I take", I was finally ready. We set off to buy outfits and general supplies for the trip.
In a store packed with expensive and trendy dresses (definitely not my style, but the guys told me I had to buy at least one dress for the trip), I glared at all of them, sulking like a little kid. I saw a dress that I didn't hate completely. (Of course it was black.)

(This is Aspen wearing the dress, I guess lmao)
After I had bought lots of outfits and supplies, I waited for the guys to finish so we could go for lunch. When they came back, they had twice as many bags as I did. These boys really did like to buy things. As did I, but I spread my purchases out more than they did.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, because we were all staying in a villa for two weeks after Playlist ended, and I was really excited, I kind of went overboard on the whole "I can buy clothes now because I'm going on holiday" kind of thing.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"ASPEN! WAKE UP! WE HAVE THREE HOURS UNTIL WE HAVE TO LEAVE FOR THE AIRPORT" Dan screeches out of excitement.
"Alright, dude, I'm already up. I've been up since about 7 this morning." I reply nervously. I've never been a massive fan of planes, so this really isn't something I'm really excited for.
"You were up before 1? Wow, that's a first" he says sarcastically.
"Well I'm gonna go get ready and we can go for breakfast, sound good?" I smile at him. He's always known how to cheer me up when I'm upset.
"Ok, have you finished packing?" He asks, looking worried.
"Yes, I have. I don't really wanna wear my airport clothes to breakfast. Damn" I mutter under my breath
"The first world problems are real here" he laughs.
"Shoo, peasant. Flee! Your queen needs to get ready." I laugh along with him.
"Shots fired" he says quickly.
"Bye!" I say as I shut the bathroom door in his face. I know it's rude, but he was telling me to get ready and then talking to me. (I'm just kidding, he knows I was joking)
Later when we were at breakfast, Dan started taking pictures of me and Phil. A minute later my phone buzzed in my pocket. A notification from Twitter.
Danisnotonfire: my lil bean is excited for Playlist. So much so that she was up at 7 this morning, which is unheard of in this household 😂

"Daniel. 'My lil bean'? You make us sound like an old married couple. We are not an old married couple." I sigh as I close my phone and put it away.
God, he's such a dork. A lovable dork, at that.
Phil just grins at us as we bicker. I'm sure he's wondering why I'm objecting to Dan shouting me out, he has gained more subscribers than me in this short amount of time.
