"Phil, send a tweet!" Dan screeched as he set up the camera and lighting in my room.

"No need to shout!" I replied, mimicking his tone.

"Oh ha ha, arn't you funny." He mocked sarcastically while picking up his phone to (I'm guessing) tweet about the video we're about to film.

We'd been planning to film Philisnotonfire6 for 8 days now but I'd never really felt up to the challenge of acting all happy and jolly. Granted, pinof's are the best kind of Q&A's and never fail to put a smile on my face this one was different. I'd spent the last 8 days just wallowing soundly. Not really doing anything if certain value: sleeping, eating, anime, that's how my days had gone and not really in that order.

It had been difficult.

The curtains had been left shut but even when the sun seeped through the windows it still didn't inspire me to move. I just lay there drowning in my head with thought after thought punched me in the stomach and made my imagination sink deeper and deeper.

I was a disappointment.

I was a complete and utter disappointment.

To society, to my friends, to my family and to myself-- I was a disappointmet.

That's what had occupied my brain for 8 days now so Dan had decided we needed to do something fun. His idea of something fun was to draw on my face and smile to  camera for twenty minutes only to result in five minutes of it being released to the internet. Normally that would be all smiles and daisy for me but I just wasn't really in the mood. Phil is not on fire only happened once a year and it was like a special video to celebrate the anniversary of our friendship; it needed to be set in a light hearted state of mind, not a fake smile and a minute away from crying. It wouldn't be enjoyable for either me, Dan or the viewers if it consisted of half-hearted jokes to keep that light smile on my face. But Dan being Dan (with that bloody persuasive voice) and me being me (with no way to tell him no) it turns out we were doing it and I'd already tweeted so basically there was no turning back now.

"Are we going to write these down or just read them off our phones?" Dan asked, still scrolling on his phone.

"Write them down, i guess." I replied.

"It's time." Dan begun

"Wait something's missing." I recisted from my internal-script.

"THIS!" Dan shrieked, earning a real laugh from me.

As the video progressed, I sort of loosened up a lot more and let myself actually enjoy what we were doing. After all, me and Dan hadn't had this much physical contact in a while. As the questions moved from one topic to another I found myself actually laughing- not a forced life though, a laugh the makes your stomach hurt and your voice go a little bit squeaky. Dan seemed to be enjoying it aswell as I watched him have the same reaction to the majority of things as me as he doubled over in laughter. Moving futher into the video I discovered I was beginning to innitiate topics and make jokes and puns- it felt like everything was back to normal again, like I was okay again.

"See I told you it would make you smile." Dan said smugly when we were tidying away our camera equiptment.

"Shut up, you idiot." I laughed.

"I am deeply hurt." Dan said sarcastically.

And we carried on like that for a while. No mention of what was actually happening. No mention of how much everyone should hate me. Just like Dan and I were wrapped in a bubble of unimportance. We were cut off from everyone else, enjoying ourselves. It was amazing. Simply amazing.

A/N- I sort of had writers block like the kind where you know the exactly whats meant to happen but you don't know how to word it but like whatever cool. So I know you lot have probably seen pinof6 like a million times but i linked it anyways. It's christmas eve eve!! I hope you all have an amazing christmas and enjoy every bit of it. I GOT A DAN AND PHIL TOP! It's like got fringes and cat whiskers but it's a little tight so it looks like each of my boobs is dan and phil but anyways yay breasts (deal with it.) I also hope you enjoyed this chapter even though it was a bit short and not really plot progressing but ok byeee :)
