This one is more so inspired by Rhett and Link's video in comparison to parodying it. However, it still remains centered around two central themes that make up the small part of the Good Mythical Morning episode I am basing this story on.

Hypnosis

Halfway through filming Phil Is Not On Fire 7, Dan pulled up a tweet on his phone. "Hypnotize each other," he read aloud, laughing. "Oh, gosh. This is going to be terrible."

"How are we going to do this?" Phil asked. "Neither one of us has a necklace!"

"No, I have a chain with a star on it," Dan replied.

Phil frowned. "Isn't that a necklace?"

"No," Dan defended himself. "It's a . . . thing you hang around your neck!"

"But . . . that's the definition of a necklace," replied a confused Phil.

"It's not a necklace," Dan protested as he got up to get it. "It's . . . like a charm decoration."

He returned with the not-necklace. "Okay, I'm going first," he announced. He sat on the bed across from Phil, who had gotten distracted on his phone.

"Phil. Phil! Look at me!" Dan commanded.

Phil looked up, his blue eyes wide. He straightened so he was facing Dan. "It'd be really cool if this worked," he said.

"Shh," Dan murmured. "You have to focus on the . . . charm. Don't say anything. Watch the charm." He began swaying it back and forth in front of Phil's face, watching as his companion's bright eyes followed it. After fifteen seconds, he spoke up softly. "I'm going to snap . . . and you will fall into a trance."

He did a last few waves with the not-necklace before quickly lowering it and snapping with his other hand at the same time.

Phil's eyes stopped moving, and his body stiffened. "I am under your control, master," he spoke in a robotic tone.

Dan's shoulders fell. "Phil, you are so obviously faking. That's not even what I said."

Forgetting that he was supposed to be under mind control, Phil protested, "You said a trance!"

"Yeah, like sleeping!"

"Well, you should have said sleeping!"

"I wasn't expecting you to fake it. I just thought it wouldn't work."

"And it didn't," Phil shrugged. "So it's my turn."

Dan rolled his eyes and handed Phil the not-necklace. Phil began to wave it back and forth in front of his flatmate's face. "Follow the necklace," he droned.

"It's not a necklace," Dan answered.

"Please, Dan, you're ruining the moment," Phil shushed him.

Dan fell silent, watching the star swing back and forth.

"Follow the . . . star," Phil said, hesitating to find a word that wouldn't distract Dan. "You are getting very sleepy!"

Dan tightened his lips, trying not to laugh. One giggle escaped.

"Very sleepy, Dan!" Phil emphasized.

Dan let his expression relax into seriousness.

Phil continued waving the not-necklace around, murmuring and trying to get Dan to feel tired. "Now, I am going to count to five," he murmured. "I'm going to touch your forehead, and then you will fall into a deep sleep." He made sure to say the word sleep, so as to be correct where Dan wasn't.

He began the countdown. "Five . . . four . . . " He continued to swing the not-necklace back and forth. "Three . . . two . . . one."

He reached out with his other hand and touched Dan's forehead with his fingertips. Immediately Dan slumped onto Phil's lap, unconscious. Phil stared down at his unmoving flatmate. "Wait . . . it worked?" he asked.

He looked up at the ever present and filming camera, excitement lighting his face. "Oh my gosh, you guys, it worked!"

Dan started laughing and pushed himself off of Phil, sitting up. "No, no, no," he exclaimed. "I was just kidding."

Phil's shoulders fell. "What? But I was so excited!"

Feeling slightly guilt, Dan murmured, "I know. I'm sorry, Phil."

Phil stared at the quilt, downcast. "I really thought it worked," he complained.

"It's okay," Dan assured him. "Mine didn't work, either."

Phil shrugged. Why did he expect that to work, anyway? Quickly forgetting his disappointment, he looked up the next question.
