Chapter 14

Phillip's POV*

(friday morning)

A day went by and everything was back to normal. The events were forgotten, although I could still see the hurt expression in Dan's eyes every so often. I'd catch the little longing expressions they'd give each other and I'd roll my eyes every time.

Watching them pine over each other in secret was sort of annoying. They should just be out with it already ... but it's not my place to tell either of them. They've been planning their radio show for the past few hours and look content and happy in their own world. 

That's what they must be like on a normal basis. I still feel sad but I'm getting better at hiding the pain and pushing it down. I know Daniel's not coming back but at least I can help these two whilst I'm here. I've also been doing some work and I've ordered certain materials that I'll need for the machine.

There's an abandoned basement at the bottom of the apartment building that they said I could use since they owned one of the keys. As long as I hid my work once I was done with it, no one should find it since the basement was hardly ever used.

It was Friday morning and I wanted to go outside for some fresh air. My materials would be coming soon and I could probably find bits and pieces I'd need in garages and stuff if I buy it off them. I was going to see if my credit card worked at all in this world, I'm not sure how much money would be in this world compared to mine.

"Hey guys?" I asked them, interrupting their conversation. "I'm going to out for a bit, I need to buy some parts for the machine, then I'm going to be away for a day or two working on the machine. I'm not sure if it will work because you guys don't have the same sort of renewable energy source but I'm sure I can find a way to plug it into your building's electricity so there might be enough energy to send me home." I explained.

"That was a mouthful." Dan teased and I laughed.

"Okay well do what you need to do. Just don't make me look weird and don't make friends with any weirdos!" Phil warned.

"Haha, I'll be fine." I grinned and left the apartment with the spare keys.

I walked down the street, breathing in the fresh morning air and smiled as I studied my surroundings. I never really got to take them in, it was so different compared to my world! I could probably invent a hover car in this world and completely change history but I'm not going to mess with this universe too much ... hopefully.

I went up to a cash machine and was surprised to see it accepted my card. I think it's because they were still pretty identical ... or the fact that mine could override any electrical device and/or machine. Turns out in this world I had £4 000 000 on my card and that must be a lot. I took £500 000 out and quickly stuffed it in my pocket before anyone could see.

I walked round a few garages and found the perfect parts, I had found nearly every piece or at least objects to create the pieces/switches/buttons I needed. Once I had what I needed I dropped it off in the basement. Instead of going straight back I walked around London for a bit.

"OMG AmazingPhil!" Some girl squealed. I frowned and turned around to see a girl in a llama hat and arms littered in rubber bands. She had "I am a danasaur" on her shirt, large black glasses and blond corkscrew hair. She ran over to me and gave me a hug. I was taken aback but then realized this must have been the YouTube thing they were talking about.

"Can I get a picture?" She asked.

"Of course." I grinned and crouched down to take a picture with her. It wasn't new to me, to be honest I was used to it and I had my smile rehearsed and everything. I know it sounds shallow but when you meet loads of fans a day you sort of need to be prepared!

She took the picture and she thanked me then ran off. I was relieved she didn't ask me to sign anything because I don't know Phil's signature and I don't want to mine down just in case it's different.

I carried on with my little adventure around London before returning to the apartment. I found Dan and Phil both sitting on the couch with their mouths full of pizza. Their gazes were glued to the screen and I don't think they noticed me walk in until I spoke up.

"Hey." I smirked and they snapped their attention towards me.

"Hi, how'd it go?" Phil asked.

"Good, nearly got all the parts. I'll be starting the structure of the machine tomorrow." I smiled.

"Cool, that reminds me. Just how good are you with machines?" Dan asked curiously.

"I can fix and make almost anything." I smirked, proudly.

"Can you fix a computer?"

"Duh." 

"Well would it be too much trouble to fix mine?" Dan asked.

"Sure no problem. I need something to do anyway. I'm getting bored just sitting around and watching the telly. I need to be occupied." I explained.

"Pfft that makes one of us. I don't have as much patience and energy as you." Phil chuckled.

"Oh well not everything's the same." I shrugged. Dan's laptop was easy to fix, it was some pretty old school stuff compared to what I was used to and fixed it in under an hour. I also managed to update his whole thing and give him the latest features and a an extremely fast connection.

"Wow, how'd you do that?" Dan asked, gawping at how fast his computer went.

"Pure talent!" I boasted.

"That's not fair, now you have a super computer and stuck with a slow macbook!" Phil whined. Dan stuck his tongue out and giggled.

"Don't show anyone, they still have to invent a few things on there." I warned.

"Sure." Dan smiled.

"Oh and I can update your's as well Phil, I don't mind." 

"Thanks a lot. I don't really want to have to buy another computer!" Phil smiled gratefully.

"No problem. So what are we doing tonight?" I asked.

"Doctor Who marathon, David Tennant style." Dan grinned. I raised an eyebrow, I had heard about Doctor Who, but the show had stopped centuries ago.

"You still have that?" I asked.

"It's only been out for fifty years." Phil retorted.

"Oh, in my world it finished centuries ago. It went on for a hundred years before they stopped it." I explained.

"WAIT! So you know all of the new doctors?" Dan asked, wide eyed. I smirked and nodded. 

"I'm not telling you anything, that would ruin the surprise!" I grinned.

"Damn." He muttered.

"Well lets finish our pizza, we've got a few hours to kill until dinner." Phil suggested.

"Yeah, we should teach Phillip Mario Kart!" Dan exclaimed.

"Pfft, you mean on the wii? I work with holograms all the time so this will be a piece of cake." I smirked.

"You say that now but why don't you show us how good you are?" Dan retorted.

"Deal." I grinned.

We then set up the wii and played for a few hours, getting completely consumed by the game.
