A/N: This chapter has mentions of Dan and Phil's book but has NO spoilers! I also live in the USA so it mentions the tour but no spoilers as well. Lastly, there is a curse word that Dan says in here but if you have ever watched a video with Dan in it then you'll know that's nothing new. Thanks!

I do not own danisnotonfire, AmazingPhil, Skype, or any other products that are in this chapter.

Because Dan and Phil had a lot of things to take care of with the tour, Lexi found herself with a bit of spare time. She divided it up with helping out Martyn when the fans weren't around and helping behind the stage as well. She got to have the merchandise for free, finding herself a walking advertisement but not minding it at all. However, right now her favorite thing to do was finding a quiet corner and read The Amazing Book Is Not On Fire. She had insisted Phil and Dan sign her copy for 'posterity's sake'. Dan had laughed but neither hesitated to fulfill what she wished. So that was where she was now, on page 112, and loving every minute of it. That is, until she began to hear the girls screaming and gossiping. The first bit of crowds had been let in. This was her cue to go check on her boys (as she affectionately called them now) and if needed calm their nerves.

"How's it going?" She asked, seeing them do final checks on their choices of costumes.

"Nervous. This is Manchester!" Phil emphasized. "I feel like…I need to be perfect! If I'm not, I should just give up now." He slumped in his chair. Dan frowned and objected immediately to what his friend had said.

"A perfect Phil would be so boring. Dan wouldn't have stalked-oh shut it Dan, you totally did—a perfect guy who makes no mistakes. That is so intimidating." Dan smirked at Lexi's reply but neither denied nor confirmed it.

"Should we say Phil and Dan this time?" Dan asked, smiling at his companion and Phil shook his head.

"Don't confuse them. Plus you have more subscribers anyway."

"Without you, I'd have none. Honest." They exchanged a long and meaningful look. Curtain call was what separated them a few minutes later and it was show time!


Earlier that day…

All 3 of them had to awkwardly share a room in the hotel. Lexi had lost the 'rock, paper, scissors' which of course was the only logical way to decide who got the beds and who the sofa bed king/queen was. She was woken up by Phil's phone which would not stop going off with notifications. Half asleep, she got off the sofa bed and went over to Phil's bed, shaking him awake. "Shut your phone up," she insisted.

He looked at it, the screen bright in the dark room. His eyes got big, suddenly he was wide awake with a big smile on his face. "I have 3 million," he said quietly, as if not believing it. "I have 3 million!"

"Oh my god!" Lexi jumped on the bed and gave him a huge hug. Both then heard a groan from the bed across the room.

"What the bloody hell is wrong with you two? So loud…"

"Shut up. Phil hit 3 million!"

"Holy shit. Great job!"

Phil blushed and thanked them both. Reaching for his phone, he started to thank everyone who had helped him across various websites. As his job as 'Phil trash #1', Dan wrote a tweet almost immediately after Phil did. This definitely made Lexi smile. The two were inseparable and she loved it.


It was mid tour when some drama happened between Lexi and Phil. They got into a fight that lasted an entire day and while that may not seem like a long time, they had never gone without talking before. It drove Dan nuts.

The incident started when Lexi told Phil that her job was sending her to LA for 2 weeks and she had thought it was a good idea because it would let them finish the tour while she did her job in the USA. Phil had immediately objected, irritated that Lexi didn't tell them until 3 days before she was going to leave. Her stance was that she didn't have to tell them everything and it was her job, not just a personal thing. What broke Phil completely was when Lexi stated 'Are you afraid I'm going to like abandon you and Dan or something?" He had actually scoffed in her face which made Lexi storm out.

After explaining what happened to Dan, Phil was escorted out by Dan to take a long walk and try to figure out what exactly went wrong. They talked about everything. Neither one of them really thought she wasn't really coming back. Phil had overreacted but so had Lexi. It was a fault on both ends and apologies were needed.

However, when they went back to the hotel room, Lexi's things were gone. After a small 'interrogation' with the cleaning woman they figured out that she had found another room to stay in and had requested to be left alone. It was a dead end until the morning. Phil felt absolutely terrible.

The next day they found her by the merchandise stand with Martyn. Phil slowly walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. Her face was emotionless but her eyes were red. She had been crying and that hurt his heart.

"I'm sorry. You're my friend, a very good one at that. And I hate that I've hurt you. Dan is my best friend and always will be. But you are a very close second. I don't want LA to steal you, that's all."

Lexi half smiled and took one of Phil's hands in hers.

"I'd never completely abandon you or Dan. I have Skype and you can always use it. Plus if you convince me, I'll probably sign up for Twitter, especially since my phone won't work long distance." Squeezing his hand a little, she looked him straight in the eyes. "You're my very close friend too, silly face."


Her time back in LA was nice but definitely lonely. She kept herself busy working with the Youtubers there and spending extra time at the Google headquarters. The best time was the scheduled Skype calls she got in the early afternoons. The tour was doing great but they told her that they missed her and hope that the boss will let her come home soon. Her hopes were the same of course.

She had brought TABINOF with her and made friends with whoever she saw reading it, asking their opinion and what she thought as well. It surprised her of how many people recognized her. Because of this, at night she practiced her signature at the hotel for the future in case she decided to become famous. Right now it was just riding on the fame of her flat mates. While she did feel slightly guilty about that, it was rather cool to be noticed even just a little.

A few days later, Lexi received a call from her boss in London telling her she wasn't needed in LA anymore. Better news she hadn't heard in a long time and the next flight out Lexi was already boarding with the idea of surprising Dan and Phil.
