Phil woke up earlier than he would like to on a Saturday morning, with the early July light creeping in through his curtains. He glanced at his clock which read 8 o'clock. He didn't want to get up yet, but he knew he wouldn't be able to get back to sleep. Even if he did get up he would have to tip-toe round the house as Dan would defiantly still be fast asleep. He probably only went to bed 4 hours ago! Phil decided he would lie in bed till 9:30 when, even if he woke Dan up, he wouldn't be too grumpy. Phil could just edit his new video anyway! Phil sleepily fumbled around the side of his bed until he found his laptop plonked up beside his bed, where he left it last night. As soon as his laptop turned on he went straight on to the internet- have to start the day with social network sites! He was just about to close his YouTube channel page, as he had that as one of his homepages, when he glanced at his subscriber numbers...
Phil did a double take, looking back at his subscriber box, and seeing a number he had only dreamed off- 1,000,000. Phil just kept staring at the number, not believing what he was seeing, and then it began to sink in...he had reached 1 million subscribers. He had done something he had only dreamed off, and without thinking he let out a squeal! He sounded like a 5 year old but he didn't care. Phil had been making videos for over 6 years, but he never expected this! He was so overjoyed! He knew he had squealed a bit too loud when he heard faint grumbling from Dan's room. And then a faint voice calling "Phil?". Phil realised he had woken up Dan, but he didn't care that much. He jumped off from his bed and ran out of his bedroom and straight into Dan's, bursting through the door. Dan look surprised and concerned to see Phil in his room so quickly and had just opened his mouth to say something when Phil blurted out "I reached 1 million!". Dan's face turned from a look of concern to a look of shock and delight. Dan jumped out of bed so fast that Phil thought he has been electrocuted, and ran straight at Phil and flung his arms round him. They embraced for a couple of seconds before Dan pulled away and said to Phil:
"one fucking million".
"I know, I can't believe it myself. In all my years of video making did I ever think that 1 MILLION people would want to watch me! I never thought I'd get here."
"I always knew you would get here, Phil. Your videos are so amazing! How could anyone not love them? If I could get to 1 million then I knew you could get there too, as after all if it wasn't for you I would have never started making YouTube videos. I only have you to thank and you seriously deserve all the success in the world! And anyway, I'm your best friend, it's my job to believe in you!"
Dan then looked at Phil and noticed he had tear streaming down his face.
"Hey, hey" Dan said while putting his hand on Phil's shoulder. "Why are you crying?"
"I just can't believe this has happened to me- I'm just so happy! These are happy tears Dan! I remember you doing the same! And what you just said..."
"Come here, you!" Dan said embracing Phil for the second time. Dan looked down at Phil and remembered why they were doing this. "One million!" he squealed. Phil looked up at Dan and starting squealing with him. Before they knew it they were both jumping up and down squealing together like 5 year olds- but neither of them cared. They were just too happy!
" Right come on, Phil" Dan said excitingly, "I'm making you breakfast...one million subscribers pancakes!"
