Chapter 4
*****DAN's POV*****
I just finished talking to the fan who drew me the picture. She seems nice, well I'm almost positive this person is female. Can't really tell by the profile, but it seems like a girl. I wonder if she is like one of those crazy teenager fans that writes fanfics and stalks my twitter...eh... Well I will just have to wait and see.
Anyway, I am so thankful I have really amazing fans. I can't wait till Vidcon to meet them all. Speaking of Vidcon, I'm leaving really soon for Anaheim! Phil and I were packing our last couple of things.
"Dan! We are going to miss the shuttle!" Phil yelled from downstairs. Ugh, why must he always pack so much faster than I do.
"Just let me grab my camera charger!" I yelled back. Where the bloody hell is it? I dug through the pile of black jeans and graphic t-shirts on the floor.
I finally found the glorious thing and held it up triumphantly. God, I am such a twat.
I passed Phil's room and noticed he forgot something. I grabbed the item and went down the stairs with a smirk.
"Forget something?" I flickered my eyebrows.
"Ah!" He squealed, "Lion!"
I tossed it to him and he held in tight in his arms.
"I can't believe I forgot you little one." He said to it as if it was a baby.
"Ok Phil, sorry to interrupt your moment, but we do really need to leave." I grabbed my bags.
"Right, let's go." We stepped out the front door. Phil locked the door and nodded at me.
"America, here we come." He marched forward like a general.
I did a face-palm and continued. Oh my happy little Phil is a little too happy to be up so early in the morning.
*****ARIELLA's POV*****
Oh my gosh, today was the day! Vidcon!
Two giant guys in all black checked our backpacks and let us in. Hand in hand, Artie and I took a step into the giant convention room. I looked over at Artie and she had the biggest grin ever.
"Oh my gosh, we have to go buy shirts or something in the gift shop!" She was like a 4 year old at Disneyland even though she was the older one out of the two of us.
"Ok calm down their speedy, how about we go check out the different booths and go meet..." I looked at the schedule, "Lucas and Jenny!"
"Alright!" She grabbed my arm and pulled me toward a booth that sold the annual T-shirts. We purchased 2 and made our way over where Lucas and Jenny were supposed to meet everyone. We spotted the line of zig zags to wait and it wasn't SUPER crowded. When we got to the front of the line, Artie recorded me meting them. We decided that we will take screenshots of the video later.
"Hi!" I smiled at two of my idols.
"Hello!" Jenny said with her adorable accent.
"How are you?" Lucas asked very flamboyantly.
"I'm grand! I love you too so much!" I gave them both a hug. I pointed to Artie's iPhone and we posed for a pic.
"Smoochies!" We yelled in unison and did the heart movement.
"Thank you so much!" I hugged them again.
"Nice meeting you!" They exclaimed as Artie and I switched places.
After we finished with them, we met many other Youtubers like Traci Hines, MEM, Pewdiepie, Bethany, Tyler Oakley, Jenna Marbles, and Ray William Johnson along with his new host Robbie. Everybody was just so nice!
But now was time for the main event: Dan and Phil!!!!
We practically sprinted over to wait in line. Artie turned toward me and adjusted our homemade Dan and Phil bottle-cap pins.
"Are you excited?" She asked.
"Yes, but we have to act cool since we are like the oldest girls here." I laughed.
"I know, I hope they like the-"
Tons of teenage girls started screaming. Usually I would be annoyed by the deafening squeals, but at that point I didn't care. That's when I saw him. The Dan Howell. I had never seen him in person before that point of time.
"Phil looks so cute!!!!" I barely heard Artie scream that.
"They both do!" I nodded at her.
We waited a while until we were close to the front. We only had about one minute to talk to them, take a picture, and then get out. Ugh, I wished that we had more time. Artie went first. She went straight to Phil and gave him a tight hug. She was a little but shorter than him which made it even cuter. I ship them in my mind, but psh, that never going to actually happen. I mean, that would be insane.
She said her thanks and then stepped off to the side. My heart was pounding as I stepped up to talk to them.
"Hello!" Dan said as he engulfed me in a hug.
"Hi there." Phil hugged me next.
"It's so amazing meeting you guys. You two are 'literally' my favorite people ever." I mocked Dan, making them both chuckle.
Dan responded, "I like your sense of humor."
I handed Dan my phone to take a selfie with because I was so much shorter than them and my arms couldn't reach. We all smiled and he clicked the button.
"Thanks," I said as he handed back my phone, "Oh! And before I forget!"
I reached into my backpack and pulled out the drawing that was in a frame.
"Here ya go." I handed it to Dan with a big smile. He looked at it, then at me.
"Oh my god Phil, this is- you're 'theawkwardbutterfly'?!?" He asked me.
"Yeah that's me," I blushed. Wow! He remember my username!
"This drawing is brilliant. Thank you so much...?" He asked inquiring my name.
"Ariella and no problem." I smiled.
Dan was still in shock. Wow, I didn't think it was that big of a deal, but I didn't mind the attention from my unrealistic crush.
The security guard waved his hand which meant I had to leave pretty soon. We all posed for the professional pic.
"Nice meeting you two!" I smiled at them.
"Thanks again." Dan winked at me while Phil started saying hi to the next guess. Artie and I fangirled so hard once I left the greeting area. I looked back to get one more glimpse of the boys before we left. To my surprise, I caught Dan looking at me. He turned his head quickly, slightly blushing. Um did that seriously just happen?!?
A/N: Now I know this whole Vidcon thing probably isn't accurate because I heard that you wait in line for like 8 hours just to meet one person but what ever haha I have never been to a convention before so I personally don't know what it's like. :P
Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter! Gahh they finally met! yay!
Why are your opinions on this chapter? I need feedback please! Thanks! Mwua!
