To Dan (20:22)

It was at this time 3 weeks ago that you first texted me, weird, feels longer.

To Phil (20:24)

Omg that’s crazy, and yeah sorry I swore at you haha

To Dan (20:25)

You could have been texting a tiny baby

To Dan (20:25)

Or I could have been near a tiny baby

To Dan (20:26)

You would have scarred that tiny baby for life.

To Dan (20:26)

Tiny. Baby.

To Phil (20:27)

Oh shut up, don’t make me regret continuing to text you... ;)

To Dan (20:28)

You love me really ;)

To Dan (20:28)

Anyway, what kind of anime do you like?

 

To Phil (20:29)

You’re assuming I like anime? Very presumptuous.

To Phil (20:29)

I could be a tiny baby that doesn’t know what anime is.

To Dan (20:30)

You’re too rude to be a tiny baby ;) just answer the question ¬_¬

To Phil (20:32)

For an anime film, My Neighbour Totoro is definitely my favourite. TV series, I like Black Butler and stuff like that

To Dan (20:33)

I approve of your choices; my answer would probably have been exactly the same :)

To Dan (20:34)

Ok, because we are strangely similar, I have devised a simple test to see how far our compatibility goes

To Phil (20: 35)

Should I be scared?

To Dan (20:35)

Yes. Terrified.

To Dan (20:35)

I’m going to ask a vitally important question, and exactly 2 minutes after, we both send our answers. Ok?

To Phil (20:36)

Sure

To Dan (20:36)

This question is deep so be prepared for it. It really is a make or break question

To Phil (20:36)

Just ask the damn question, Jesus Christ

 

To Dan (20:37)

...what’s your Starbuck’s order?

To Phil & To Dan (20:39)

Caramel Macchiato

To Phil (20:40)

Well, this just got interesting... ;)

*Incoming Call From: Phil* (23:19)

“...Hello?”

“H...hi, I’m really sorry to call you, but I...I didn’t know who else to call, I just...”

“Phil, are you crying? What’s wrong?”

“I’m sorry, I don’t know, I was walking along the road from the Manchester City Centre, and these three guys just jumped out at me, they took my wallet, I didn’t have my phone with me so they didn’t get that, but now I’m just sitting in my flat and I don’t know what to do, I d...don’t know why I called you, this is stupid, a...and this is the first time we’ve talked on the phone, this is probably really weird for you, I’m sorry.”

“Phil, that’s ridiculous, don’t be sorry. This isn’t your fault. This isn’t a major crime, so you can report it to the police in the morning or something if you like. Ok, just.... just go and make a cup of coffee.”

“What? Why?”

“Just do it, Phil. It’ll distract you.”

“O...ok, I’m going to the kitchen”

“Whoo, now tell me, what did you do today Phillip?”

“Uh, I...I worked on my project for uni, and I filmed and edited a question answer thing with a friend for YouTube”

“Well I look forward to watching that, what will it be called?”

“I’m thinking either ‘zebra’ or ‘fighting a bear’”

“Wait, why zebra?”

“There was a question asking me to say ‘zebra’ because they liked the way I pronounced it... zeeeebraa”

“Zebra. Zeebra. Zebra. Zeebra. Zebra. Zeebra. Zebra. Zeebraaa. ZebraaAAAA”

“*laughs* I think I’ll call it that then”

“Have you got your coffee?”

“Yeah, thanks Dan, hold on trying to get some sugar out of the packet, what, why is it so hard??”

“That’s what she said”

“DANIEL”

“Haha, sorry, I should have thought of the tiny babies...”

“So inconsiderate... ok I’m at my laptop now, and I was wondering, do you have twitter?”

“Uh yeah”

“Well... if you like you could give me your name and we could direct message on there or something. Only if you want to though...”

“Yeah sure, uh my username is kind of... well, I made when I was 12 and going through my ‘ohmygodimsoradom’ phase...”

“My favourite type of username, what is it?”

“Danisnotonfire”

“Haha, ok cool, I just followed you. Hey maybe one day we could get caramel macchiato and make a video together”

“Oh my god yes, that would be incredible”

“What would we call it though?”

“Uh, I don’t know, can’t use ‘zebra’ again can you? Oh I have an idea”

“What?”

“Philisnotonfire”
