The Competition: How You Met...

Chapter One: The Competition

*Your POV*

For a few years now, I've been watching these YouTubers called the Dolan Twins. Their names are Ethan and Grayson Dolan, and you guessed it, they're twins. Recently, they released a video explaining that they're going to release a challenge, and any two of their subscribers who do the challenge the best will be flown to Los Angeles to stay with them for a week. I already live in California, attending UCLA, but I figured I would do it anyway. Today, they released that video.

"Hey guys! We're back!" The boys said in sync, smiling at the camera.

"Today is the day!" Grayson shouted, wrapping his arm around Ethan's shoulder.

"Do you have to yell?" Ethan glared at Grayson while pushing his arm off.

"Yes, I'm excited."

"Still, you don't need to shout. Anyway, today we're going to release the challenge for you guys."

"Yeah, and if you guys do well, and post a video of you acting this out, then we'll fly two of you guys out to L.A. to hangout with us for a week!"

"We have guidelines written out below in the description but let's explain the challenge first." Ethan clapped, and the video panned to them standing in the pool. "So, the challenge."

"What you guys need to do is two things. First, write a short fanfic of how you imagine meeting us, and if you had a week with us, what would you want to do?" Grayson leaned on the side of the pool while he explained.

"Next, you need to make a video of you acting these things out. If skydiving is like one of those things, then make a clip of you reading this part out."

"Then, we'll pick out the winner, and do some of those things with you while you're here!"

Immediately, I paused the video, and looked over the guidelines in the description. "Rule 1: You must be following both of us on all social media platforms (listed below!) #2: NO SEXUAL FANFICS! We like our eyes staying innocent, thanks! And finally, Have Fun writing!! ☺️" It seemed simple enough, so I opened a word document, and began writing.

After hours of writing and editing the video I made, I finally finished my fanfic. Sighing in relief, I converted the document into a PDF and posted the video on YouTube, then posted the PDF and attached the link to my video on Twitter using the hashtag, #DolanFanficChallenge. I closed my laptop, and smiled. I seriously hope they at least like it.

One week later, I'm sitting on my bed, doing some of my summer homework for one of my college classes when suddenly my phone went off. Ignoring it, I continued doing my homework when my phone went off two more times. Sighing in annoyance, I looked at my phone.

Ethan Dolan Followed You

Ethan Dolan sent you a message

Wait... Is this a dream? Am I seeing things right? I blinked over and over again, rubbing my eyes. I looked again, and sure enough, Ethan did follow me and sent me a message.

Unable to comprehend how I felt about this, I tapped on the notification, revealing my Twitter messages. Quickly following, I tapped Ethan's name as my heart was trying to pound out of my chest.

E: Hey, Congratulations Y/N! You are one of the two winners of our fanfic challenge!

You: Is this real life? Or is this just fantasy?

Lmao. Bohemian Rhapsody, huh?

Maybe... 😅

😂 Well, this is real. I can assure you, you won.
Before I forget, where do you live?

Agoura Hills (Los Angeles County)

Wow. That makes life much easier. You go to UCLA, right? I believe you mentioned that in your video.

I gasped, sort of surprised that he remembered that part, but I decided to play it cool. Yeah. Break just started this past Friday.

Even better! meet me at the Twin Oaks shopping center, specifically Ralphs clothing store.

Woah, already?

Yeah! See you at 4!

*Ethan Dolan is offline.*

That boy, I swear... I get up, and start the shutdown on my laptop, and ran the bath to shower.

After waiting for my water to heat up, I stared at myself in the mirror. Holy shit. I'm meeting the Dolan twins today. Oh. My. God. I cover my mouth and squeal. Okay, shower, now. I went into the shower and shaved. I got out, put my hair into a pony, and did my makeup.

*30 minutes later*

Okay, my laptop is in my bag, I'm dressed, now where are my boots? I rummaged around my closet, trying to find my black boots.
There they are! I quickly grabbed them, put them on, grab my keys, and my bag with my laptop and left.

Hey guys! I know that this is a bit different in comparison to my other story... But! I have been watching the Dolan twins for a couple of months now, and I have recently had inspiration to write a book about them! It'll give me some time away from Ethan Nestor, and more time to focus on the Dolan twins considering that there are a lot of different things regarding them... 😂

But! I hope you guys like the beginning of the story! I actually have the next chapter prepared, but I just have to type it out. Let's see when I will do that... 😅 Anyway, I hope you guys like it. There is definitely more to come with this!
