ADOPTED BY PHAN

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

"Tell me!" Iris pushes, once again asking Vic for answers as to why he kissed her.

"I don't understand why this is such a big deal to you, it was just an experiment." Vic finally replies.

"What do you mean experiment?"

"That's irrelevant-"

"Well it was pretty relevant when it happened!"

"Just let it go." Vic groans.

Iris suddenly states, "You can't just do this to people, you know."

And all Vic says is "Watch me." before walking away.

As it's Tuesday afternoon, Iris is now left waiting alone at the bus stop. Vic usually waits with her - just to keep her company - but clearly that's gone to shit.

Iris knows that she should just forget about the kiss and move on, but that was her first kiss and Vic stole it. She believes she deserves an explanation.

The bus rolls to a stop, letting Iris on. And her mind doesn't shut up the whole ride home.

* * *

"Happy Birthday!" Iris shout excitedly at her camera, beginning her intro. "It may not be your birthday, but somewhere someone was born on this day. So . . . Yeah.

"Today, as highly requested, I will be playing a good ol' game of truth or dare! I asked you humans on Twitter for a little bit of truths and a little bit of dares. Alright, here we go!"

Iris explains to the camera how she has two cups sitting in front of her. One has the word 'Truth' written on it along with little papers inside, and one has the word 'Dare' also holding some papers. Obviously the papers have different truths and dares on them, and she will go through them one at a time.

"I think I'll start out with a truth." Iris states, picking up the correct cup. She rummages through the papers before picking one up and folding it open.

She reads:
"Who is your otp?
Ps. I ship Skyris!"

"Well firstly, I definitely ship Phan." Iris answers with a grin, knowing her viewers won't understand the humor behind that. "And secondly, what the hell is Skyris? Is that my name combined with another- Oh. Oh. Skye. Well-" Iris cuts herself off with a fit of laughter, just moving on to the dare cup.

Her paper reads:
"Hey Iris! I dare you to eat a spoonful of mayonnaise! Love you!"

She laughs a little uneasily, "God, this won't be fun."

Taking her camera into the kitchen, she is immediately greeted by Phil.

"Making a video?" He asks, taking a sip of his hot cocoa.

"Yeah, truth or dare." She replies.

Phil laughs, "Dan does that every year, it's always horrible. I like to watch him do embarrassing and disgusting dares."

"You're going to watch me do this, aren't you?" Iris asks.

"Can I?" Phil's voice suddenly fills with excitement.

"Sure, just don't say anything." Iris laughs.

"I'll just stand in the corner." And with that, Phil makes his way to the side of the room.

Turning her camera back on, Iris films herself getting out the mayonnaise and a big spoon. She opens the jar and scoops the mayonnaise onto the spoon, looking at it for a second before saying, "I'm doing this because I love you back. Now, here goes-"

Her face fills with disgust as the mayonnaise meet her taste buds. She makes gagging sounds and runs to the sink, spitting the mayonnaise out.

"Don't spit that in the sink!" Phil criticizes.

"Don't tell me where to spit, this stuff is nasty!"

"Oh Iris," Phil's tone softens. He walks over to her and rubs her back as she consistently spits.

"You can't be in the video, daddy." Iris says.

"Dan will be smart enough to edit this part out." Phil reassures her.

After cleaning herself up, Iris takes her camera back to her room to film some more footage. Phil follows along, wanting to watch the making of the video. Taking a seat, she picks up the truth cup and reads:

"Do you have a crush on anyone? x"

"Yes, I do." Iris says with a smile, not saying who.

Next comes another dare:
"Prank call CollideWithTheSkye."

"Oh! Do that thing that Dan did to Catrific where you're only allowed to tell them to 'shut up'" Phil suggests.

"Alright people," Iris says to the camera, pulling out her phone. "I'm only going to say the words 'shut up', no matter what Skye says."

She dials the number, and Skye picks up on the second ring.

"Hello green eyes," Skye greets.

"Shut up."

"What?" You can hear the confusion in Skye's voice.

"Shut up."

"Why?" She asks.

"Shut up."

"Okay . . ." She trails off. The line goes silent for a few seconds before she speaks up again. "Iris?"

"Shut up."

"Is this a prank call?" Skye questions.

"Shut up."

"Skye laughs, "You're doing the thing Dan did to Cat, aren't you?"

"Shut up."

"Shut up." Skye mocks.

"Shut up.

"Goodbye love." Skye says sweetly, before hanging up the phone.

Iris and Phil laugh together once the line goes dead.

"Oh my god, she took that better than I expected." Phil says.

"I didn't expect that either." Iris say in between laughs.

After calming down, Iris picks up another truth:
"Do you remember your first kiss?"

"Oh I remember it like it was yesterday." Iris says, knowing her viewers won't know it literally happened yesterday. Just like the last question, she refuses to go any further into detail with her answer.

Dare:
"I dare you to do YouTuber impersonations."

"Alright, are you ready for this?"

Iris' tone stays the same for each impression as she says;

"Hey guys, it's AmazingPhil!"
"Hey guys, it's Danisnotonfire!"
"Hey guys, it's KickThePj!"
"Hey guys, it's Crabstickz!"
"Hey guys, it's PointlessBlog!"
"Hey guys, it's TatcherJoe!"
"Hey guys, it's Zoella!"
"Hey guys, it's SprinkleOfGlitter!"
"Hey guys, it's-"

"That's really annoying." Phil says with a giggle.

"I'm annoying myself." Iris replies. "I think I'm going to wrap this up."

"Say something interesting to end it!" Phil tells her.

And so, Iris says; "Thanks for watching, earthlings! If you enjoyed, please give this video an erected thumb. Subscribe if that's something you like to do, and I'll see you next week. Don't murder people or do any other illegal thongs! Thongs? Did I just say thong? I meant things! Don't do illegal things! You can wear a thong if you want, but that won't be pretty if you're a boy. Goodbye!"

She presses the button to end her recording.
