A/N: Hello, guest reviewer! :D

Thank you for your review. :) I'm glad that you think the story is cute! x) You're too kind. :D

OKAY, so I went into "hey, you're not doing anything, you should go Super Sleuth Researcher real quick for validity" mode and so, I updated the first chapter! :] Should give you a less vague idea about when this starts... Hopefully. I don't know. Maybe. We'll see.

By the way. That new danisnotonfire video, tho, amiright...? ಠ╭╮ಠ (it made me cry)


"Shh... Cornelia's still sleeping, I think," Cornelia suddenly heard. Was that Phil? Was he whispering to someone... Dan?

Cornelia poked her head up from the couch she was sleeping on. "Phil?" she mumbled groggily, her knees popping as she tried to sit up.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" he exclaimed, laughing. "I woke her up!"

Cornelia looked around blearily and finally found Phil, her eyes still heavy. "Phil, are you filming me...?"

Phil stood by the breakfast bar, pointing a small, red camera her way, guiltily replying with, "No..."

Cornelia had no energy to react any other way than mumbling, "Hi," and tiredly going back under the blanket that had been deposited on her during the night by Phil the previous night.

She toned out any further camera-conversation Phil was having, until he shook her shoulder gently.

"You should wake up, Cornelia! It's around ten twenty."

She took a large inhale and got up, groggily grabbing her clothes and unsteadily made her way to the bathroom to change.

When she got out of the bathroom, she heard both Dan and Phil talking with each other.

"I think Tesco's gonna arrive in a minute," Phil said, and clicked the button on the camera to stop the video recording. Dan and Phil both turned when Cornelia entered the lounge.

"Mornin' fellas," Cornelia greeted groggily as she joined them in the kitchen.

"Morning!" they greeted in unison. "You can go ahead and grab whatever you'd like to eat, Cornie. Our groceries will be here any second," Phil continued on, smiling at his cousin.

"Oh, great!" Cornelia joked, "Now I can lay waste to your kitchen cupboards."

The three shared a laugh, and suddenly they all heard the door.

"Need help, Dan?" Cornelia offered when she saw Dan start for the door by himself.

Dan just shook his head, replying, "Nah, just go on and eat! I'll be back in a sec."


Cornelia had a bowl of cereal poured and she was sitting on the sofa when Phil turned the camera on suddenly, and Dan exclaimed, "Two trips is for pussies!"

Cornelia and Phil laughed at the sheer amount of bags Dan carried, but Cornelia watched them as she silently ate her breakfast.

She laughed as Dan inspected their groceries, and laughed even louder when Dan exclaimed that he and Phil 'weren't a family of ten' when he found the mega box of Shreddies.

Dan walked over to the couch when he had made up his own bowl of cereal, and smiled at Cornelia.

"Morning," he said again, and Cornelia laughed softly through a mouthful of cereal. "Mor'nuh," she responded with a smirk.

"How was the couch?" Dan inquired, setting up his laptop on the coffee table.

"Not that bad," she replied after she was through with her mouthful. She readjusted her position so she sat straighter, and added, "It was comfortable until I woke up."

They both shared another laugh, and Cornelia stared as Dan literally almost inhaled his bowl of cereal, just so he could recline and place his laptop on his lap.

How did he even... Nevermind.


She was planning to leave the flat simultaneously with Dan and Phil and was wandering around the apartment when she was drawn to the bathroom because of the sound of a hair dryer.

She stood watching Dan muss with his slightly damp hair (as he had taken a fast shower after Phil's).

When he started playing around with a straightener, she got curious.

"Dan?"

"Hm?"

"Why on earth do you do that?"

Dan looked over his shoulder at Cornelia, raising a brow but smiling widely nevertheless. "The question I should be asking, is why are you watching me straighten my hair, Corrie?"

Despite her sudden urge to shrivel and flee from the bathroom door, she forced herself to stay.

"Because the door was open," she managed to reply nonchalantly.

Dan only laughed, turning back to the mirror to continue straightening his fringe. "I dunno," he finally responded. "I like my hair better if it doesn't look like a rats nest. Or hobbit hair."

Cornelia suddenly perked up. "Hobbit hair?" She repeated, grinning. He likes Lord of the Rings? She thought excitedly.

Dan eyed her in the mirror briefly, grinning at her expression. "Yeah," he chuckled. "It looks bloody awful!"

Cornelia actually snorted, ignoring Dan's amused second glance. I doubt anything you do looks awful, she thought to herself.

"You do realize that between you and Phil, you collectively care more about your appearance than most girls?" Cornelia questioned amusedly, taking this chance to walk away from the bathroom.

Cornelia couldn't help the giggle she emitted when she heard Dan's diva comeback of, "Yeah, well... Ye-e-ah!"

"Cornelia," Phil suddenly called out, walking out of his room and into the hallway where she was, making her jump. He in turn jumped slightly when he saw her right in front if him. "Oh, sorry," he chuckled.

"You sure you don't want to come around town with us today?" Phil asked. "I'm gonna be filming more of the 'Day in the Life' video."

Cornelia just quirked an eyebrow, but smiled. "I'd love to come, Phil, but I really do need to get to that one o'clock class."

Phil sighed, but then laughed, nudging her in the side as he walked past her, calling her a nerd.

Cornelia gasped in mock offence, and swiftly caught up to him, nudging him back, giggling.

She self-consciously tucked an errant strange of black hair behind her ear when Phil suddenly stopped walking a moment and his blue eyes just bored into her own blue eyes.

"What?" Cornelia asked.

"It's nothing," Phil replied with a wide smile. "It's just... You're so happy! I'm happy to see you so happy."

Cornelia just chuckled very softly. "It's because of you and Dan I feel so good. So, thank you again, Lion."

Phil and Cornelia shared a quick hug, and separated when Dan joined them in the lounge, his fringe straightened and wrapping around his face.

Cornelia glanced between her cousin and Dan and smiled before gathering her things.

She had only brought her laptop, her prehistoric phone, and the jacket on her back over last night, so Phil had kindly lent her a shirt and some pajama bottoms to sleep in. Those were now in the wash.

"Okay," Phil sighed, satisfied. "You ready, Dan?"

"Yeah," he replied, looking between Cornelia and Phil. "You coming with us, Corrie?"

Cornelia looked up from the coffee table where her laptop was. "No, no I'm not," she replied. "I'll just be leaving the flat with you. I need to get back to Uni. Got a one o'clock class today, remember?"

"Ah," Dan nodded, looking a little disappointed. She had told him earlier this morning, though.

"Okay," Phil began, checking his pockets for his phone and his wallet and his camera. "I'm ready, Dan's ready... Are you ready, Cornie?"

Cornelia nodded, grabbing her laptop, and joined Phil's side as he made for the front door.

Humming slightly as they walked to the stairs, Cornelia walked in between Dan and Phil.

Dan had taken control of the camera and after a moment of deliberation, they decided to NOT go down the fifty thousand staircases, and walked to the lift, Cornelia finding herself falling into step with Dan, a few feet in front of Phil.

As they waited (and waited and waited) for the lift to come, they were silent. When the lift finally did come, Phil filmed almost the entire ride down.

When Phil turned off the camera, Cornelia realized something.

"Damn," Cornelia suddenly swore earning both Dan and Phil looked to her suddenly. She flushed with embarrassment. "I didn't have any money besides what I spent last night for bus fair..." She admitted bashfully.

"That's fine," Dan instantly replied first, taking out his wallet before Phil could.

"Um," Cornelia stammered, silently looking to Phil for help. "Really, Dan, I can walk, I was just thinking out loud..."

"Nonsense," Dan laughed, offering her the money to get home. "Here."

Cornelia stared at the proffered money, biting her lip.

"Dan, I could pay for her," Phil offered, seeing her apprehension. "No!" Dan insisted. "It's absolutely fine. Take it."

Cornelia reluctantly took the money offered to her and she looked to Dan's face, studying him as he put his wallet back in his pocket.

"I'll pay you back, Dan," she promised, tucking the money into her back pocket. "I feel rotten taking your money."

The lift doors opened, and Dan spoke as they all walked out of the building. "Nah! You don't have to pay me back. Consider it a 'Welcome to YouTube' gift!"

Cornelia mentally paused, staring at the back of Dan's head, perplexed but grateful. The walk back was long, and she didn't have a lot of time before she would be required to go to class.

"Thank you so much, Dan," she murmured when the two guys stopped suddenly.

Dan smiled kindly and nodded. "It's fine. A pleasure."

Cornelia smiled softly at the two of them, but then fully realized that they had stopped walking.

"Why did you two stop?"

Dan and Phil looked to her, and laughed quietly. "Well," Phil chuckled, "It's hardly gentlemanly to leave a woman alone at a bus stop, is it?"

Cornelia's head jerked up, and she suddenly realized that they WERE at a bus stop. Waiting for the bus WITH her.

When the bus came five minutes later, she hugged both of them before they took their separate ways.


Jamming her key into the dorm's lock, she twisted and made it into her room.

It was hilariously tiny, but considerably larger than most, as it was one of the "shared" units.

But Cornelia was lucky enough to not have been assigned a roommate.

She put down her laptop, changed her clothes, stuffed her laptop and her completed work into her laptop bag.

She checked her small wristwatch and let out a breath. She had more than enough time to relax for a few minutes.

It was only a minute later that her phone went off.

Recognizing Phil's number easily, she picked up.

"Yeah? Hello, Phil," she greeted immediately.

"Hey, Cornie! Just wanted to tell you to enjoy your class!" Phil greeted in return, his voice raised to hear himself on the busy street. "Also, say bye to the viewers!"

Cornelia stared at the floor with her mouth pulled into a flat line. But, quickly, she laughed.

It wasn't a giggle, or a chuckle, though. It was her "accidental laugh", if you will. She guffawed.

"Hi!" She laughed, elongating the 'h', making it sound like she was trying to fog a mirror. "I'm on speaker aren't I? Dan, just make sure Phil watches traffic."

When she heard both of them laughed, she laughed once more, and said, "Boys, I gotta go to class now. Have fun!"

Dan and Phil said their goodbyes, and she left her dorm swinging her bag over her head and settling the bag across her body.

As she was rushing through the halls, she felt her phone buzz against her thigh from in her bag, and she fished it out as she left the labyrinth of dorm rooms.

A simple message from Dan decorated her screen.

He literally almost killed himself on a crosswalk. I should actually watch him... It said.

Cornelia laughed to herself, closed the flip-phone, and sped-walked to her class.
