A/N: I do not own Dan Howell or Phil Lester. Alexis however is all my own character. -Amy

After a long two days of Playlist Live, Lexi was glad to be packing up her things and ready to head back to London. Her stay in the USA had been wonderful and everything had gone beautifully right. Lexi gathered up her last bit of laundry, with a mental note that there was going to be a ton of it to do, then nearly jumped out of her skin when her phone rang. She had to stop setting her ring tones to things that would scare her….seriously. To make things worse, the phone wouldn't shut up because it was across the room and she was behind a pile of laundry and suitcases. A smirk to herself and a gut feeling that this was a terrible idea dismissed, she lunged across the things in her way. This, however, made her fall on the floor, missing the phone by a few inches. She cursed silently and reached for the phone just before it went to voice mail.

"Hello?" She said, slightly out of breath.

"Alexis? Are you okay?" Lexi's eyes grew bigger as she figured out quickly who was on the other end of the phone. Her voice dropped down to a whisper.

"What? Why are you calling me?"

"To tell you to come to California of course. To visit your boyfriend!" Lexi closed her eyes and knew she couldn't come up with a good enough excuse not to go. It would make her seem like a jerk so she told him that she would call him back in half an hour. She needed to figure things out in her head.

"LEXI! WE ARE ORDERING SUSHI! WANT ANY?" Phil yelled from the other room.

"Yes!" She yelled back, walking into the room where they were. Dan had the phone up to his ear trying to tell Phil to be quieter.

"Why'd you yell?" Dan said. "She was just in the next room."

"It was effective. See? She's here now." Phil looked up, smiling at Lexi. "Sushi?" She couldn't help but laugh.

"Guys, I need guy advice."

"Nope." Dan stopped her right off. "I'm not going to be the 'I need help with my boyfriend because he loves his TV' kind of guy."

"What the heck of a scenario is that?" Lexi laughed. "It's not what I was about to say anyway."

"I'm listening. Tell me," Phil said, patting the empty couch next to him. "Tell me all about it."

"Shut up counselor." She laughed. "My boyfriend wants me to come to Los Angeles. Like right now since I'm already here in the USA and he figures it won't be a problem if I go that way instead of going back to London. Trouble is, I don't really know if I should."

"I think you should."

"What?" Dan and Lexi said.

"You think I should go to LA?"

"Yeah. Go back, see the sights, sounds, and go back to what was your home for a long time. I do it, Dan does it, and it's only fair." Dan couldn't argue with his logic. He knew that her going back to LA, however, could make Lexi stay there and that would be just terrible. So, he had to do something to remind her of London while she's at home in California.

"I have to fly home to work on my Nicer Internet show. However, I think Phil should go with you." Dan inwardly smiled at his genius plan. Lexi looked up at him with a raised eyebrow. He quickly realized he had to elaborate on why Phil should go with her. "I mean, you shouldn't travel alone and it'll be more fun if you both go anyway." She seemed to accept that and Phil nodded along with her. Dan would have to talk to Phil later about all of this and make sure that nothing keeps her in California.

Time slipped by every so fast and soon they were parting ways at the airport. Dan was leaving for London and the other two were leaving for Los Angeles in another hour. They said their goodbyes to their favorite flat mate in black and wished him luck on avoiding any uncomfortable or awkward encounters along with way.

The airplane ride to LA was quick but nerve-wracking to Lexi. She had no idea how this trip was going to turn out and all the bad situations were playing out in her head. She could see her boyfriend beating Phil up in one situation. In another, Phil had told her they weren't going anywhere. In the last one, Phil was being buried after being shot from the jealousy of her boyfriend. Her eyes opened wide as she shot up awake.

"Lexi we are landing now." Phil's voice was soothing to hear after that last thought in her head.

"Oh thank goodness. I don't think I can fly anymore."

"How will we ever get home then?" He laughed gently. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm just a little nervous."

"Me too actually. I'm not sure what to expect from this to be honest." Lexi knew exactly how he felt and was grateful when he put a hand on hers. That hand didn't leave until they had landed and the captain had turned off the seat belt sign. She gave him a reassuring smile as best she could and they disembarked together ready for almost everything.

Lexi soon saw her boyfriend after she passed the final security check leaving the airport. Phil really needed to stop looking distrustful with his smiles or something! She went up to give her boyfriend a hug when he noticed Phil coming along behind her. He immediately put up a guard and gave Phil a once over, not saying anything to him but just kissing Lexi once on the cheek. They decide after small deliberation to get some food at a local restaurant. Once there, Lexi's boyfriend quickly realizes that all Lexi can do is talk about London and her job there. He becomes extremely suspicious of Phil and wants to pull her aside to know if possibly she was cheating on him or anything of the sort. No opportunity presented itself however as Phil refused to leave her side the entire time they were out.

Once home, he showed Phil where the guest room was and as Phil was getting situated, he found that this was the perfect timing for asking Lexi what was going on.

"Hey Alexis. Can we talk really quickly? I need to ask you a few questions."

Lexi raised an eyebrow. She forgot that he didn't call her Lexi like everyone else she knew back in London. Still she nodded and followed him to the couch to listen to whatever he had to say. It couldn't be all that bad after all.

"What's up?" She said, smiling at him.

"Are you and Phil….are you cheating on me?" He bluntly stated. Repulsed, Lexi jumped up from where she was sitting. She cursed out loud then covered her mouth as if to erase what she had just said.

"No way!" She nearly yelled. "I would never do that." At this point, Phil had heard the commotion and had come out to see what was going on. Lexi's boyfriend glared at him and told him to 'mind his own business'. Phil nearly left just for a second then told him that Lexi was his business.

"Are you living with Phil then?" The boyfriend asked, still looking in Phil's direction. Lexi bit her lip, knowing what was about to happen. She glanced at Phil, making eye contact with him.

"Yes."

Phil flopped down on the hotel bed, putting the 'washcloth/ice bag' to his eye. Lexi insisted on keeping that up for another hour to keep down the swelling while she took care of the flight out tomorrow morning. He couldn't believe what had happened over the past couple hours.

"You wouldn't hurt Lexi," Phil said, trying desperately to get everything to calm down. "All she did was move in with us."

"US? As in multiple guys?"

"No no! Just Phil and his friend Dan. That's all," Lexi intervened.

"And since when are you called Lexi. Your name is Alexis. Get it? She's mine, whatever your name is." He nearly growled but Phil didn't back down.

"She's no one's. She is independent and doesn't need to be owned much less by you."

Phil should have known he would end up with a bruise on his eye after saying that. He shook his head, thinking back on that scene over and over. They had apparently broken up while he remained unconscious on the floor. Lexi had filled him in on everything while she drove frantically to the nearest hotel, gripping the steering wheel as if her life depended on it. He gathered it was just her way of staying together emotionally and so he hadn't pushed any further.

So for now, he laid back and waited for whatever was to come next.

"Phil, I got us a flight tomorrow morning at like 9 am to London." Lexi said, waking Phil up out of his nap. She started giggling when his stomach growled in response to what she said. "Sounds like someone is starving."

"Just a little I guess." He said and she scoffed.

"I'll order the food since you get too shy to do so. But first, let me look at your eye." She made him take down his hand that had been covering it ever so slightly and she smiled. "It doesn't look all that bad. In fact, I bet your fringe could cover it if you made it switch directions just for this trip home."

"I'd look weird." He replied.

"No, you'd look fine. You'd match Dan!"

"Bring on the gifs!" He said, heading to the bathroom to see what his hairstyle would look like and if it would indeed cover the eye like she said. Lexi just laughed and reached for the phone to order up some food. Soon afterwards, she decided it would be best to give Dan a call and let him know what was going on. She told him what had happened and how Phil was fiddling with his hair at the moment. They were laughing together when Phil walked in, hair changed and everything. It didn't quite cover his face enough but it was just right where no one would blatantly ask him questions about what had happened. Dan insisted on a picture of what he looked like and Phil reluctantly let her snap a quick photo for him. Dan agreed with Phil about the gifs and wished him a quick recovery because no one on Tumblr would let him live this down if he showed his face on the internet.

"You're lucky you are across the Atlantic or I'd punch you," Phil threatened but Dan just laughed.

"I don't believe it for a second." The buzzer went off in their room and Phil volunteered immediately to get the food to 'get away from the bullying'. Lexi took this time to thank Dan. She told him that she was grateful he had been there for her from the start.

"I can't wait to come back home." Lexi paused, realizing what she had said. London now felt like her home, not California. She didn't know when that had changed but it felt genuinely wonderful to her.

"Well I'll be here waiting for a re-match on Mario Kart." Dan replied.

"It's on!" They hung up shortly after once Phil brought in the food and Lexi realized Phil wasn't the only one who was famished as well.

A/N: Hi! I have had this chapter written down in half made form for ages and haven't had time to write it all down. There should TOTALLY be a chapter with Alexis and Dan mocking Phil's loss of voice or them going to Japan. Either way, I'd like some input if you want! Thanks for reading as always and have a wonderful weekend!
