Weeks past before Dan could hang out with Phil since every time Tom was near Phil disappeared with her for hours, sometimes even days. Leaving Dan in a complete lack of philness in his life.

"Hey man. Do you have plans for today?" asked Phil from the kitchen to Dan, who was at his room.

"Not really. You?" answered Dan feeling a little like a back up plan for when Tom wasn't around.

"No, Tom is out of town for this week." He answered, like Tom was his only friend. "Wanna go get some coffee?"

The boys grabbed their jackets, wallets, keys and got outside.

"So... what's up?" asked Phil awkwardly as they walked to their nearest coffee shop.

"What kind of questions is that, you oddball?"

"You know, we haven't been hanging that much."

"yeah, I get it. Well not much, I'm still hanging around with this Victoria girl... I ate a hole package of Malteasers this morning... Hanged out with Chris and Pj last week... Uuumm I guess I haven't done much. How 'bout you and this Tom chick?"

"She's as cool as I remembered, maybe more. We've been to a lot of museums and the zoo and skating and just hanged out. Pretty cool."

At this moment they were already at the coffee shop, about to order their drinks, when they sat down the conversation kept going;

"Have you been doing secret things Danny boy can't know about?" said Dan in his so common sarcasm. Phil opened his eyes a lot trying to understand what Dan meant

"I don't know what are you talking about."

"I'm just saying is weird that I haven't talked to her. As soon as she calls you, you're already there. Why she doesn't hangs out on the flat? Wasn't she going to be staying with us? I've never seen this girl!"

Phil understood that was Dan's way of saying he had missed him.

"Aaaaawww, Danny boy is feeling left out." said Phil mockingly "I try to convince her to come around "

That being cleared out, they finally started to hang out as they usually did. That evening Tom made an appearance at the guys' flat. When they heard a knock , Dan went open the door to find a petite bluenette who said

"I feel ridiculously short next to you"

Dan laughed and said

"So you are the famous Tom? Nice to meet you, I'm Daniel but you can call me Dan."

"Hey Dan. I'm Tomasina, but please call me Tom... seriously, please"

"School kids are jerks." said Dan as he let her in and pointed a couch.

"Tell me about it! Phil knows all I've been through with this hippie-ass name."

That evening was really calm yet fun. They ate supper, loads of ice cream and played Sonic (she was better at it than the guys). Dan got embarrassing stories about Phil and amazing anecdotes about their childhood. Everything was great until Phil got a call. Someone had ruined his mum garden, she got mad and kicked this person. They started fighting and now they were on jail. She needed Phil to pick her up. Tom offered to go with him, but he refused. He wanted to have a serious talk with his mum and also wanted Dan and Tom, his favorite persons iN the world, hanged out and got to know each other.

As soon as Phil walked out of the door, Dan and Tom connected their eyes and from her lips escaped as a whisper

"I gotcha"

and she smiled.
