A prized possession and a scrawny guard are left to exist in the same room, but, together, they do much more than that. Obsidian and Black Opal soon find companionship with each other, laughing at the same jokes and talking about anything and everyt...
On the 27th of March, 2026, at 8pm, "20 Years of AmazingPhil!" went live on Dan's YouTube channel and Phil's channelversery was posted a few seconds afterwards.
Many who clicked on Dan's video saw Dan and Phil sitting on a bed dressed in half of Dan's checkered grey duvet and half of Phil's checkered blue and green duvet, Dan's on the left and Phil's on the right, respectively. They each sat on their duvets with wide smiles, fear hiding behind their eyes, buried deep in brown and blue and only visible to longtime viewers.
Dan wore a black t-shirt adorned with the ever-so classic eclipse design – something a fan had gifted him with at a past convention after he had said he had lost the original at some point. His skinny jeans were black as usual, and his hair was its natural curly self.
Phil was wearing a bright blue button-up, short sleeved shirt. The only thing on the shirt was a little embroidery over his gem placement that was, ironically, a little heart. His hair hadn't changed; it was still jet black and still combed into what was now affectionately called the Phil Fringe by a good majority of the world.
Dan waved at the camera as always had, uttering, "Hello, Internet! Today marks 20 years this little shit," he thumbed towards Phil, "has been on YouTube and how long I have officially been," he paused with a smirk, imagining the response people would have, "Phil Trash Number One."
Phil laughed and spoke next, "Yes, and we've uploaded a special video to commemorate the occasion on my channel, AmazingPhil!"
The stock noise of children cheering played as Dan commented: "Big words there, Phil."
"Well, a big event calls for big words!"
"Haha, indeed!"
Phil clapped his hands together, smile holding strong. "So, please do head over to my channel to see what's so important about these 20 years I've been on YouTube! It is actually quite important, so we urge you to click over to the video."
Dan nodded, saying nothing more.
Phil pointed to where the link would pop up as a still image, reading "20 Years A Secret Held" in red text on a pastel blue background with the tops of their heads peeking out from the bottom of the image.

Dan shook his head with a goofy smile until they both started laughing and then Dan's endcard played.
