Discalimer: I don't own Dan/Phil nor anyone associated with them

Hey guys, so, here is the next chapter of the ' Secret Fanfiction Author' which is full of fluff so yeah, I hope you like it.


Destiny watched from around the corner, as her brother and his friends played on the X-Box. They were having a fun time, eating junk food and playing games together...she looked down, feeling incredibly lonely. Why did they have to leave? She wondered, as she turned around to head back to her room. She stopped, when she looked into Lillian's room. Daddy was playing tea party with the five year old, and they were sitting on the floor surrounded by bears with pink teacups on a pink table. Even Lily has someone to play with, she thought bitterly when she turned to the Office. Papa was exporting his latest video, and was pretty busy.

She sighed, and went to her room before getting on the computer. Times like this, she'd get on the phone with one of her friends...but they were all away, and none of them had Skype. She tried to message them on their accounts, but no one answered. She bit her lip, and went to Youtube to watch Philisnotonfire's which calmed her down or make her feel better, when she was younger. Sometimes they still made her feel better..not this time though.

She remembered what Dan said last night, about how he felt the same way she did once and how he knew what she was going through...and honestly she doubted him even more now. Her blue eyes looked at the video of her fathers laughing and having fun, as they sat on Papa's bed answering questions. They looked happy and...honestly, judging by what she saw, there was absolutely no way he knew how she felt.

There was no way he knew what it was like to feel alone and how to not have friends. Sure she knew he had a bully named Charlie, that however was the extent of her knowledge. Other than him Dan had tons of friends, and a great best friend. No way he ever felt alone, ever in his perfect life. She scoffed, and exited out of Youtube, before heading to Fanfiction to write more...thats all there was to do.

She bit her lip, and sighed, as the story that was meant to be fluffy took a darker turn. Still, she went a long with it and wrote on.

" Hey sweetheart,"

She stopped, when Dan knocked on the doorframe, immediately she clicked to another tab and looked up.

" Yeah?" She asked.

" I was going to go get some groceries with Lily, you want to come with?" Asked Dan curiously.

" Uh, no thanks...I have stuff to do." She replied, Dan gently placed a hand on her shoulder and offered a small smile.

" I know how much of a hypocrite this'll make me sound like, but you can't stay here cooped up forever love. " Said Dan, the twelve year old shrugged and looked back at the screen. Dan sighed, and gently ran a hand through her hair. There was something bothering her, he knew there was he opened his mouth to speak when Lily was at the doorway.

" Daddy lets go!" Exclaimed the five year old.

" Coming Lily." Said Dan, before turning back to Destiny. " We'll talk, when I get back ok?"

She nodded as he left with her little sister. She uploaded her story, and smiled as they were saying how her parents were in character, and sure there were a few hate comments but hey she wasn't a stranger to those. She knitted her brows, at one review that caught her attention.

" Your story was good and in character, but it lacked a few details. Dan isn't a stranger to hate comments, especially since he used to hate himself, so he'd-"

Immediately Destiny stopped...hate himself? When did her dad ever hate himself? She knew he was a perfectionist when it came to videos, and was really bad when it came to criticizing himself. Hating himself however, was a different matter altogether.

"Uh...how would you know any of that?" She typed back.

" Do your research before you write about a ship, especially since its going to be about real people like Dan and Phil. Trust me, if you look around the internet, you'll find plenty of stuff on them to use. Like for example, this last one you wrote, was about Dan and Phil's first meeting. Phil was dating a guy named Charlie right around that time, at least until Dan stole him away."

Destiny lifted an eyebrow...she knew of a bully in her dad's life named Charlie, but...no...this couldn't be the same Charlie...could it? Papa never mentioned anything about an ex boyfriend. Curious, she went to the office where Phil was watching an anime on his computer.

" Papa, can I ask you something?" She asked.

"Of course little Lion, what is it?" Asked Phil with a small smile.

" Whose Charlie?" She asked, and Phil stopped for a second. He furrowed hi brow in confusion, wondering which Charlie she was referring to.

" You know Mr. Mcdonnell sweetheart, he was at your birthday l-"

" No not Mr. Mcdonnell...its about the other Charlie, dad's bully Charlie...did you know him?" Asked Destiny, Phil sighed though he wondered how she'd found out about that.

" Yeah, Charlie used to be an old friend of mine...but...well...he did and said somethings, that made us stop being friends. I don't like to talk about him much, especially not infront of Dan." Explained Phil, which brought up more questions in Destiny's head.

" Why not? What did he do?"

It's nothing...I um..I'll tell you when you're older." Said Phil, Destiny turned and walked away making Phil sigh. He and Dan had hid a lot of things from their children. They wanted to tell them when they were older and..well..there were just some things..like Charlie..that were better left unspoken. Still..how did she find out?
