Disclaimer: I don't own Dan/Phil, nor anyone associated with them
Hey guys, so it's that time again Vidcon Time! which I am not going to...unfortunately, I wish. I hope those of you that are there are having fun and for those of you that can't make it this year. Don't worry, there will always be next year. So, here is the next chapter of Enchanted to alleviate your spirits.
Phil kept on looking at Dan the rest of the day, noticing that his friend was in deep thought, and it was almost like her body was on autopilot. Currently they were now at the foodcourt, with bags beside them full of clothes, undergarments, and other random accessories. Not to mention a few video games and somethings for the flat. She was also very quiet, having not said a word all day...just giving a small grunt here and there. Like now, when they sat at the food court and Phil had asked what she wanted to eat. She just shrugged, and looked down at her hands as he sighed and went to get food.
Dan looked up and watched Phil go, he'd been thinking about what the woman said all day...wondering just what would happen if Phil didn't kiss him before the sunset on the seventh day...which was also sunday. He groaned, and rubbed his temples dreading sunday even if it wasn't here yet.
"Hey there, are you ok?" Said a familiar voice. Dan looked up to see Chris and PJ, immediately he sat up a bit straighter and looked down wondering if he should tell them or not. He smiled softly and nodded, Pj sat down in Phil's seat.
" Are you sure? You seem awfully down, and I don't know about you but I don't like to see a pretty girl looking so sad." Said Pj, Dan smiled and gave a small chuckle.
" It's nothing, I just...I have a lot on my plate thats all." She replied, her brown eyes meeting Pj's green ones, Pj nodded as he looked at the young girl. He and Chris were here to surprise Dan and Phil later, and decided to stop by the shopping center hen they saw the pretty brunette girl sitting by herself and looking rather downtrodden.
" Well, why don't my friend and I buy you some lunch?" Asked Chris, as he and PJ shared a look.
" No, thank you but my friend is already getting lunch and-"
"Hey guys, what're you doing here?" He heard Phil say, Chris and PJ looked up as Phil came with a tray of food. The two other Youtubers shared another look when Chris lifted an eyebrow.
" Are you on a date?" Asked Chris curiously.
"No!" Exclaimed Dan and Phil simultaneously, catching Chris and PJ by surprise. Phil placed a hand on Dan's shoulder and met her gaze almost as if asking if she wanted to tell them. Dan bit her lip and after a few seconds she nodded.
" Chris, Pj...meet Dan." Said Phil. Is that short for Danielle? or Daniella?" Asked PJ in confusion.
" No, Dan as in Dan Howell...and I can prove it. " Said Dan, PJ shook his head, whilst Chris looked at them oddly. Neither seemed to be buying it. Dan bit his lip and tried to think of something..anything, when an idea struck.
" The first thing you said to me was 'Oh hey, you're Phil's internet friend the one he talks about constantly.'"Said Dan, Pj blinked in shock, he knew that Dan wouldn't tell anyone that so...unless..now that he thought about it. His jaw dropped as suddenly the similarities between the girl and Dan started to become very apparent. Chris gently placed his hand on Dan's chin and gently turned her face towards him, she smiled softly and he knew she was telling the truth.
" How did it happen?" Asked PJ.
" I went to this shop and this woman gave me this candle and..and now I have seven days before." Dan stopped and looked down.
"Before what Dan?" Asked Phil softly as he set the food on the table.
" In seven days, if I don't find a way to get rid of this spell...I don't know what happens but the way she said it..it doesn't sound good. " Said Dan softly, the other three looked at each other immediately the same thought crossed their minds. Dan looked down, not wanting to tell Phil about who the kiss of true love should be from.
" She said I'd need a kiss of true love, before the sun sets on the seventh day." Said Dan, Chris sighed, and lightly tapped Dan's shoulder.
" Well I could do it." He teased, Dan giggled and shook her head.
" No but seriously, do you have a true love?" Asked Chris curiously, Phil turned a way for a split second catching PJ's attention. He stood up and wrapped an arm around Phil's shoulder. They shared a look which meant that PJ wanted to talk to him alone. Phil nodded and after making an excuse that they were going to get some more food for PJ and Chris they walked away. Leaving a confused Dan and Chris.
" I hate it when they do that..it's like they have a mind link or something." Said Chris sitting in the now vacant seat.
" Someone sounds jealous." Dan teased, before shaking her head. " They've known each other longer Chris its to be expected."
"Doesn't mean we have to like it...maybe we should date each other to get them back." He teased, chuckling as she blushed and gave him a friendly swat. He sighed, and shook his head it was true that he and Dan hadn't been friends with Phil and PJ as long as the other two had with each other but..at least they had each other whenever PJ and Phil went and did their thing.
" Seriously though I wonder what they're talking about that they can't share with the rest of the group?" Said Chris, Dan shrugged in response.
" I saw that look you gave Dan..when he said the kiss had to be 'true love's kiss'." Said PJ, as he and Phil waited in line, Phil sighed and shook his head knowing where PJ was getting at. "Phil, c'mon admit it...you like Dan...you always have, even before you met."
" He's my friend, of course I like him he's my friend." Said Phil, Pj shook his head and placed a hand on his friend's shoulder.
"Phil, you're my best friend..you can tell me anything...you like Dan, not just because you're friends...I know because every day you'd have this goofy smile on your face and a spring in your step after talking to him, because you'd get so excited everytime Dan slept over, because when me, Molly and everyone else thought Dan was some kid who didn't belong you convinced us otherwise and told us to get to know him...and we did..I'm glad you did that actually, because if you didn't we'd have probably missed out on having one of the best friends we could ever have.
Now, just like that...just like how you told me to give Dan a chance I'm telling you to give him a chance...give true love a chance." Said PJ, Phil shook his head and looked at Pj.
" The last time I fell in love with someone it ended badly Peej, you know that...and even if I did Dan doesn't feel the same way towards me that I do." Said Phil, deep down, he did like Dan but...the younger man was always going on about how much he hated it when the fans whnt overboard with Phan...how would he react if it was real? More than that, the last time he fell in love with a friend of his it had ended in disaster..he valued Dan as a friend far too much to even dare take that chance lest he lose him too.
