Me and Phil got to the building where we do the radio show. It was 6:55pm which was late for us but the trains hadn't been running. I had a massive lump in my throat. I know I am pretty much waiting for my death to come.
"Guys.. Why are you so late? We need to set up the studio" Our producer said to us frantically
"It's fine.. We can just put a Delia Smith mask on the screen behind us and they'll be happy" I responded
"Yeah.. We're really sorry. Our train wasn't running and we didn't know so we had to get a bus." Phil said back, trying to give some kind of reasoning as to why we were late.
"Okay. Well just get upstairs quickly.. You're due on in 4 minutes."
"Shit.." I said as me and Phil started racing upstairs. Once we got to the studio we grabbed our notes out of our bags and put them on the desk in front of us and threw our bags into the corner.
We started the show like we always do. By playing the intro and two music videos from fans.
"That was Emergency by Paramore and Bring Me To Life by Evanescence on Radio1. What an amazing way to start the show!" Phil called down into one of the microphone's in front of us.
"It certainly was. But getting here wasn't all that fun was it Phil?" I replied.
"No.. We had to get.." He paused for a second to give an intense look to the camera "The Bus".
"Yeah.. At least we didn't get sneezed on today." I said
"Yeah but we got here four minutes before the show started meaning that this is slightly rushed.. Maybe we should take a request from Sophie to get into the show properly"
"Hello." Phil said.
"Hey! I can't believe I'm talking to you guys! I love you so much!"
"Aww.. We love you too." I said back. She let out an piercing scream as those words came out of her mouth.
"So what have you been up to today?" Phil asked
"Just been playing rock band"
"What instrument do you play on rock band?" I asked, trying to make conversation.
"I do the drums"
"Oh really? What level?"
"Obviously expert!"
"Hardcore.." I said as she started to giggle.
"So what song did you want to hear?" Phil asked her.
"Um.. Can I hear Scar by American Hi-Fi?"
"Of course you can." Phil said.
"Amazing choice by the way." I said to her
"Thank you.. I love you guys!"
"Aww.. Well bye!" Phil responded
"Bye!"
The song started playing as we took off our headphones.
"Phil.. I'm scared."
"It's fine. He was probably just bluffing."
"Why can't I be as strong as you?"
"What do you mean?"
"You overdosed just 6 days ago and now you're already back working.."
"Only because I don't want to seem suspicious around fans.."
"I guess.."
"You'll be fine.. Don't get worried"
The song started to draw to a close as we put our headphones back on.
"Now, we do have fanwars coming up very soon. Do you think we are ready to announce the bands competing this week?" I asked
"I think it's time.." Phil said, in a suspenseful tone.
"The bands competing this week are.. I don't think you're ready for this.." I said
"My face just isn't physically ready.."
"Maybe it will be after another song?"
"Yes.. I think that will help."
We then picked out a fan made music video to the song American idiot.
"And now the internet and radio hate us.." I said.
"Well at least my face is more ready for the grand reveal.."
"So.. this weeks bands are.. I can't believe I'm saying this.. Lazy Town Vs Blink-182"
"I think it might be time for another request, this time from Emma."
"Hey!" Phil said down the microphone
"Hey!"
How are you?" Phil said to the girl in a polite tone.
"I'm okay"
"Okay? Why aren't you amazing?" I asked.
"I've been doing GCSE coursework all weekend and haven't done anything except that.."
"That's dedication. Well good luck with it!" I said to her
" What song would you like to listen to while doing it?" Phil asked
"Can I listen to My songs know what you did in the dark by fall out boy?"
"yes! Anyone you want to dedicate it to?" Phil asked her
"Can I dedicate it to Dan just because of his 1,000,000 subscriber video?" This set me and Phil into fits of laughter.
"Well you just did." Phil got out through some muffled laughs.
"Bye!"
"Bye!"
We kept our headphones on and just wrote things on the board. We then switched to some more music videos and played some amazing songs like na na na by my chemical romance and had some crazy requests from people in the phandom. Lazy Town had won fanwars, which represented many people's childhoods. We had Shane Dawson on In New Internet Vloggers We Trust which enabled us to play superluv on the radio and as a last song a girl called Megan dedicated the song let love bleed red to Phan which was both weird and sweet because we hadn't really told anyone about what was going on but the song gave us an opportunity to link hands under the desk and exchange a loving look, even though we made it look like we were just doing it for comedy. It was one of the best shows yet. Then we got to the end of the show and were about to leave. I almost forgot about that.. We started approaching the glass doors when I saw a massive crowd of people outside, some holding weapons, most not. This could only mean one thing..
Pretty easy to tell what songs I was listening to while writing this chapter.. Hope you like this chapter! :D
