Chapter 10: Presents

The weeks passed by and my life in London had become a boring routine. Wake up at 6:30 AM and get ready for work, I then enter work at seven o'clock and work till 12. I would then go back home and get ready for university, have some lunch and be off by 1 pm to my classes. Which would then last till 8 or 9 at night, depending on which class I was in. After that I would just arrive home, study a bit, and sleep.

I was actually hoping to do something else, but every day I came back home exhausted, only leaving me the weekends to enjoy. Which three weeks ago they kind of changed because Dan and Phil went to the US leaving me all alone at home. Luckily they arrived back in London this weekend, and maybe now my life would get better.

It was Saturday and I woke up around noon because I had spent the whole night just cramming in information. I was lying in the couch in the living room with my papers scattered around everywhere. I stood up and looked around. The house was a mess, and Dan and Phil were coming back in 5 hours. I needed to fix this and quick.

I stood up and started to pile up all my paper into one messy stack and took them towards my room. I started to pick up all the bowls and plates I had used and being too lazy to wash and place them in the dishwasher. After two hour I was done with the living room, the kitchen, and my room.

Now I had to get ready for the horror. For some reason I had accommodated myself in Dan's and Phil's room. So one night I'd sleep in either of their room, change there, and I had practically thrown all my clothes around the place.

This was bad, because when I mean I had thrown it all around the place that also includes behind some furniture that I probably couldn't move. Yes I am a disgusting mess, I know! I started to pick up every piece of clothing I found.

Fast forward two more hours and I was done, expect for the fact that I still stinks and my hair was in a big knot. I took a quick shower, but spend around half an hour trying to fix my hair. It was practically impossible, but I somehow made it through. And off I went to the airport, 30 minutes before their plane landed.

I arrived there 45 minutes later, luckily it still took a while for them to get their bags. I was sitting right in front of one of the exits. It was 6:32 pm and I was exhausted. Not only that, I had forgotten to eat because I was too focused on cleaning the house.

The next thing I know is that my head was that I had fallen asleep. My head was lying on something soft. I creaked my eyes open and in front of me there was a watch. It marked 7:00 pm. Crap. I had fallen asleep, Dan and Phil were probably gone by now.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes. "Good morning Sunshine." I heard a familiar voice next to me. I opened my eyes to see it was Dan. I was surprised, I didn't expect them to have just waited for me as I slept.

"I am so sorry." It first thing I said. "I know, I fell asleep. Is that with university and work and today I was cleaning the house… Ugh, I was just too tired."

Dan patted my head, "You forgot to add that you are also hungry." He said with a smile. "For some reason you are capable of sleeping and making your stomach growl at the same time."

I placed my hand on my stomach and it let out a really strong growl. "I don't know when the last time I ate was." I said. I started to look around and noticed that Phil wasn't there. "Hey, where's Phil?" I asked.

"Getting something to eat, he was pretty worried about your stomach growling as you slept." He said. I blushed lightly, how was it that it always ended up with me just being a burden to them. After a while Phil appeared with some food, which I practically gobbled down.

Soon after we were in a cab heading home. I had already planned that with the job I had I'd buy something to thanks Dan and Phil. Which was just the problem, I had no idea what to buy for them. So I practically just ended up saving up more and more money with no use for it.

We were all sitting in the back of the cab, Dan to my left and Phil to my right. I let out a small sigh and said, "What would you guys like to have as a present?" They both instantly turned their heads my way. "What I mean is if you could have something, not too expensive, not too cheap, what would it be?"

Dan was the first to answer, "A huge bag of Maltese!"

I turned my view his way. "Really? Is that like your one and true love?" I questioned.

"Yes! You probably don't understand, being that you have never tried those little balls of heaven." He said with so much inspiration.

"Ok?" I replied, "Then I shall try them one day. What about you Phil?"

Phil actually took a bit longer to think this through. After 3 minutes he finally said, "A puppy!"

"Really?" I said.

"Yeah, I also like kittens, but I am allergic to them. There's nothing wrong with a puppy, the problem is Dan." Phil said.

"Why?" I asked.

Dan let out a loud sigh, "I just don't think we are going to be responsible enough to take care of another living creature. We can barely do that with ourselves, plus now we have to take care of Joy."

"Wait, am I an animal now? Or a pet? No, you don't have to take care of me. As you can see, I have survived the past three weeks on my own. Plus we are three, the three of us can take care of the puppy together." I said. "Just saying, wouldn't be a bad idea."

They both thought this through, "Ok." They both said at the same time. Ok? What did they mean, just ok? But before I could say anything we had already arrived the apartment and they were getting off the cab.

On our way up the steps I started to think of what we had discussed in the cab. I worked at a pet shop and my boss loved me. I could easily buy a puppy. So it was decided, on Monday I would start to see which dog I could buy.

We were already entering the apartment when suddenly Phil stopped, making my bump against his back. "Hey!" I complained.

He turned around and faced me, "You are going to appear on my next video." He said in a rush.

"What?" I replied, not understanding were that came from.

"Don't you remember? You said that when you have being living with us for at least a month you would allow me to introduce you in one of my videos. And it has being more than one month, almost two actually" Phil said full of excitement.

"Yeah that's true, which means you also get to appear on mine." Dan said. Oh crap, not this. I thought I didn't have to deal with that anymore.

"Ok, ok. I will, but it has to be filmed in the weekend because my week is to full of thing." I said and walked into the apartment. I entered the living room and laid on the couch. I was too even think of anything else.

Dan and Phil went to their room and started to unpack. I stood up from the couch and went to my room. I closed the door, took off my clothes, and put on a sports bra and a pair of shorts, which reached my knees. I also put on the TARDIS jacket that they had given to me. I opened the door and right in front of me were standing Dan and Phil.

They were holding something in their hands which they drop after they saw my outfit. The both covered their faces with their hands. "What are you wearing Joy?!" Dan exclaimed.

I bent down and picked up what they drop and handed it back to them. "It's hot dude and it is still summer. Let me be, and it's not like I am naked. All I am really showing is my belly. By the way, don't mind my outie belly button." I said as I stepped between them and went to the kitchen.

They followed behind me. I opened the fridge and took out a can of grape juice and closed the fridge. I then proceeding into the living room accommodated myself in the couch. I turned on the TV and flipped the channels and stopped at one which was presenting Doctor Who.

Dan and Phil then stepped in front of the television blocking my view. "Oh por dios, que estan haciendo estos idiotas!?" I complained.

"Hey," Phil said, "don't insult us in Spanish." I just sigh loudly trying to see if they got the message and left me alone. Instead they sat next to me and dumped whatever they were holding onto me.

"What the hell man?" I complained. "You guys are acting just weird and…" I paused and looked that at what they had given me. I noticed they were presents, which made my inner child jump of happiness. "GIFTS! OH YEAH!" I exclaimed.

With no second to waste I opened both gifts, tossing the papers everywhere. The first gift was a box which contained all the Celestial Spirit Gate keys from 'Fairy Tail'. I was so excited I hugged the box tightly, which bend it a little. I then move the wrapping paper that was covering the other box.

This box was a big bigger and seemed heavier. I shook it a little and notice there were various stuff in it. As I uncovered the top I was greeted with the full collection of the manga 'Gakuen Alice' which I had just recently finished. I had being craving to have the actual books in my hands because to me they were so amazing.

I was so happy that I instinctively just let out a cry of happiness, then grabbed Dan gave him a kiss on the cheek, and as well I did the same thing to Phil. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! You guys are awesome, I love you so much!"

Suddenly Dan and Phil got really red and had little small smiles drawn on their faces. I just ignore them and went back to my Doctor Who as I hugged the two precious gifts I had just received. And it was then that I noticed that I was screwed. I could never beat this presents they gave me. Somehow I'd have to come up with something better.

Yup so that this chapter… btw I might be going on a trip soon… AGAIN… so I might not write for a while…. Sowwy
