Amelia's POV

I clumsily stepped out of the car. My hair flapped in the wind as we started across the high school campus. Expecting to see a play, we were confused at the empty parking lot before us. The full moon glowed in the distance as we traversed the shimmering asphalt. My cousin and brother, Kee and Logan, were joking around about reasons why the campus was empty. "What if there was a zombie apocalypse?" That brought a bout of laughter from Kee and me.

Somewhere, not far from our current position, a chain clanked on a pole. At least, we thought it was a chain. Kee noticed and said, "There's someone fighting a zombie over there." We laughed again, fathoming more and more about an apocalypse.

The clanking suddenly stopped, and we waded in three-foot deep silence for about a minute, when I said, "The zombie is dead. Whoever was fighting it did a good job." A bit less laughter came this time, as a silhouette moved across the dimly lit landscape.

An English accent followed the figure."Run! They're coming!"
Confused, we stood rigid, basking in the moonlight. "What're coming?"

"Don't ask questions! Run!" The figure called to us. "I'll follow soon!" The thick British accent was joined by another, deeper one... A weaker sounding one.

"We'll hold them off for a while! You don't have much time! We'll explain later!" Who were these people? What were they talking about? Much to my dismay, I made like a lemming and followed my two accomplices as they ran.

Dan's POV

"Are you alright, Phil?" I asked my friend who was walking along beside me.

"I'll be fine. We should follow those kids and get out of here before we're eaten alive." I turned and stepped lightly after the black haired, limping Phil.

"Y'know, Dan, you said this trip would be worth it. Now we're fighting zombies to defend a town we don't know. Don't you think we should go home?"

"I told you it would be worth it. We'll make the best of this no matter what comes of this mess. Have I ever lied to you before?"
"Well, erh... Not about anything important." Phil replied, his voice quiet.

Amelia's POV

Winded, we stopped at a large intersection. Cars whizzed past as my golden hair whipped in the wind. Footsteps, muffled by the road noise, carried across the street. We looked up at the noise and saw the two men from before across the street from us. A space opened up in the cars, a perfect jay-walking opportunity. We dashed across the street quickly, taking care to land gracefully on the other side. In the aura of a streetlight we could make out the men's faces. A wave of realization flooded my thoughts for a moment as I stared at the two men before us.

I now knew where I had seen these people before: these two were a couple of my favorites to watch on youtube. They were Dan and Phil, commonly known by their youtube names, danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil. Speechless, I gazed at them. Instinctively I opened my mouth and stuttered, "you're... You're Dan and Phil..."

Dan's POV

"You're... You're Dan and Phil..." The golden haired girl said, mouth agape. I stole a glance at my companion, standing beside me. His black hair fluttered a bit before he replied slowly, "Yes, yes we are."

I flicked a piece of russet-colored hair out of my face as I stole another glance at my friend, silently thanking him for saving us the awkwardness. The gold haired girl was obviously amazed she was in our presence. Her eyes were clouded with surprise as she shyly looked away, realizing she'd been staring for the last two minutes.

Amelia's POV

I glanced away from the two men in front of us in an attempt to clear the awkward air around us. My cousin Kee suspiciously gazed at the two of them and said in an equally suspicious voice, "You said you'd explain what's happening."

The russet-haired Dan replied shakily, I assumed from fighting, "The zombies are here. We fought a couple off over at that school. Now, we've got to make sure no one else has to. You three play a role in this now."
