Hey everyone! So I'm sorry this chapter took so long. I wanted to make sure everyone had their questions in. Also, we are getting to a very stressful time in the musical I'm in, so rehearsals have been everyday until very late. We even had rehearsals for the first few days of Spring Break. But enough of that, here is my long awaited bonus chapter! There is a section for facts about the story, and a section for your questions. Let's not forget my little closing monologue at the end. So...Here's the amazingly terrible bonus chapter!
FUN FACTS
Dan was supposed to try to commit suicide by jumping off their building, but get saved by Phil. That could have potentially been a plot for a new story...Oh well.
I was going to keep them broken up for a longer amount of time, but I got bored with it.
I originally wanted this to be a 5 or 6 chapter story, but I got carried away...Oops.
The Chinese food delivery girl was supposed to be Veronika, the weird pizza place lady, but I thought the slag would be better.
As stated before, Veronika and Katelyn, the random fan, were based off of real people.
A guy in study hall was reading over my shoulder the whole time I wrote the part they confessed their love for each other.
I had an alternate ending in my mind where they stayed broken up and never got back together.
They were supposed to come out while filming AmazingDan 3, but I liked the idea I went with later.
They were supposed to accidentally kiss on Dan's live show, but I liked the hickey idea better.
I thought about making Dan an cutter.
I meant to post chapter 1 in September, but I got lazy.
I put Fan Fiction before school work.
I wrote a lot of this story at play rehearsal and musical rehearsal.
My friends thinks I'm crazy for writing this story.
Chapter 9 was honestly the hardest part to write. Not because of the sadness, but because I wrote Dan's part 6 different ways and I hated them all. I just couldn't think of a good way to write it. I'm not proud of that chapter.
Since I'm single (no surprise there) I put all of my fantasy romantic-ness (wtf) in my fan fics.
I actually considered just stopping after chapter 18. I had no idea where to go from there.
The colors everyone wore for the wedding was carefully picked. There is a reason behind every single outfit in that chapter.
Their daughter was named after one of my best friends, Bella.
I wanted an idea for a one shot, so I shuffled my iPod. The first song to come up was "Jizz in my Pants"... No.
I purposely made the epilogue 666 words. No real reason why though.
My friend gets really mad at me when I write smut... Hi Katelyn.
This entire story took up a whole 138 page notebook, and more.
Aaaaaand that's all of the fun facts I could think of. NOW onto the questions asked by the wonderful readers of this story!
QUESTION TIME WITH NATALIE!
Alex (Guest) asked one question.
Q: How can you update this regularly?
A: What I used to do was I would write ahead, get way too excited to wait, and then post every other day. But then it came to be too much and...I stopped. Whoops.
PsyDuck Squirtle Squad asked five questions.
Q: Why do humans not lay eggs?
A: I don't know, but they should. It would be far less painful.
Q: My female hamster got my other hamster pregnant. What do I do now?
A: Sell the babies on eBay.
Q:I found a piece of chocolate in my belly button. I have no idea how long it's been there. Do you think it's safe to eat?
A: Yes. I am not responsible for your death.
Q:Have you ever thought of committing genocide to any race of your choice?
A: I can quite honestly say that I have not.
Q: Do you think a blind person can feel blue?
A: Depends what you mean. If you mean "feel" as in with their hands, and "blue" as in the color, no, I do not think a blind person can feel blue. But if you mean "feel" as in their feelings, and "blue" as in sadness, yes, I think blind people can feel blue.
Didn't expect me to say something smart, did you? Didn't expect me to look into it, huh? Analyzing!
CharSneasel asked one question.
Q: I saw a platypus give birth. Is that normal?
A: OMG what's with you and PsyDuck Squirtle Squad and birth? Lol xD
Potatoes-are-not-for-sex asked two questions.
Q: Which is your favorite Phan video and why?
A: How to make Christmas Cookies from Phil's channel. I like it because Dan shoves his hands down his pants. Also because it looks like Dan and Phil are holding hands at one point.
Q: Do you do original stories outside of this fic?
A: Nope. I really only like writing fan fiction.
Micheala Goldsworthy asked two questions.
Q: What was your inspiration for this story? Or did it just come to you?
A: Well after I read stories from ThatOneSmoshyPhanGirl, I knew I wanted to write a story too. As for the actual story and the plot and stuff, it just came to me along the way.
Q:Why the name Bella?
A: One of my best friends in real life is named Bella. Also, it means beauty/beautiful.
Dansmoshyfan asked seven questions. DEDICATION, GIRL!
Q: When and why did you start watching Dan and Phil?
A: In the summer of 2012, my friend Katelyn told me to look them up and then my life went downhill towards the internet.
Q: What's your favorite video from Dan and Phil?
A: From Dan's channel, AmazingDan 2. From Phil's channel, (not including the one I said earlier) Snokoplasm or Sea Badger.
Q: Who do you think would be top and who would be bottom?
A: I think Phil would usually be top, Like it's obvious with his innocence. But I also like to think that Dan tops sometimes.
Q: Did Katelyn actually see Dan and Phil['s moment and choose to ignore it? Or did she not notice?
A: Katelyn's POV
I walk through the door of some pizza place that my friend told me to meet her at. I've never seen it before. It must be new. An odd lady with a fake mustache, Veronika I guess, escorted me to the table my friend had reserved. Of course she's not here yet. She's always late. Veronika twirls in circles to the front of the store. She's an interesting one.
I scan the restaurant for my friend, but I don't see her. I'm still looking when my heart flies out of my chest and my stomach just about drops through my butt. It's Dan and Phil! I'm in the same place as Dan and Phil! No fucking way! I need to go say hi! I start walking, but stop dead in my tracks. They just...No way. They kissed! Phan is real! Finally! Okay breath, Katelyn! Don't be weird! Be calm! Oh who am I kidding? I mindlessly let out a scream and run towards them.
"Oh my god! It's Dan and Phil!" I yell. They pull their hands away. I'll just pretend I didn't see a thing. I can keep this secret for their sake.
Q: WHY WOULD YOU EVER WANT TO WAKE UP AT 5:30 (INSERT INTERROBANG HERE)?!
A: I don't want to, but I have to. School is a bitch and decides to have my bus pick me up at 6:30, even though first period starts at 7:40.
Q: One thing you'd change about the story?
A: Honestly, I would have written smut earlier.
Q:Even though Dan really doesn't like it when people ask about Phan and say it's real, do you still ship it with all your heart?
A: YES! I'd also like to believe it is real, but I would never ask Dan or Phil about it. I'm not on of...those.
ImaginativeDramasaur asked three questions.
Q: Did Chris and PJ ever adopt children?
A: Yes. Her name was Rosie and she became best friends with Dan and Phil's child, Bella.
Q: Are you going to do any new stories after this one?
A: Of course! I have a million one shots written and I'm already working on another multi-chapter.
Q: How did Chris and PJ get together? What was the deal with that?
A: Chris' POV
My heart breaks at the sight of him. He's been basically living at my house for the past week. He's too upset to go home. I feel so sorry for him. A beautiful man like Peej should never feel like this. He'd been seeing a girl for a month and she broke it off. Normally, Peej would just bounce right back, but this was different. The way she did it was awful. She pointed out every one of his flaws and made him feel like shit. She told him why he was the worst boyfriend ever. She was a bitch. But I didn't understand that though. PJ doesn't have any flaws.
Right now, we're on the couch, watching a movie that neither of us are paying attention to. Peej is looking at the floor and I'm looking at him. I need to make his sad face go away.
"Peej?"
"Hm?" I could hardly hear his response.
"Do you want to do something else?"
"No." He said, looking sad as always. I scoot over and put my arms around him.
"It's okay, Peej. She was a bitch anyways." His head rested on my shoulder.
"I know. It's just... Why did she have to be so rude about it? I can't stop thinking about what she said."
"Because she's stupid. She doesn't know a perfect person when she sees one."
"I'm not perfect. I have too many flaws to count."
"The only flaw you have is you don't see yourself the way I see you." I kind of wish I didn't say that.
"How do you see me?" He sat up, still close to me.
"I see you as the most beautiful person ever. You're hilarious, sweet, smart, and unbelievably good looking. You're everything anyone could ever want." I look down, suddenly embarrassed. He's blushing.
"I had no idea you thought that."
"I always have." I avoided eye contact the best I could. "I always will."
I don't know what awful thing possessed me to do this, but I leaned forward and kissed him. It was just a quick peck. I didn't want to freak him out. I just wanted to do what I've needed to do for years. When I pulled back, his blush had gone deeper. He hadn't moved a bit.
"Peej, I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. I'm really sorry." I said, panicking.
We sat there in an awkward silence for what seemed like years. Suddenly, something happened. It was what I never would have guessed. PJ softly grabbed my chin and pressed his lips to mine. The kiss lasted much longer than the last. Our mouths moved as one, melting together. Soon we pulled back in need of oxygen. I didn't know what to do next, so I sat there in shock, staring into his bright green eyes. He smiled at me and grabbed my hand. I smiled back.
"I've been wanting to do that for so long." He said.
"So have I." I wondered if I should ask him what I'm thinking. I decide to go for it. "Peej? Can I ask you something?"
"Anything."
"If um... If it's not too soon... Would you like to be my um boyfriend?" I regret this so much. He only just got dumped by his girlfriend and he's been depressed ever since. Smooth move, Chris. Real nice. To my surprise, Peej grabs my hand and smiles.
"I'd love to." He says right before he leans in and kisses me.
After so many years of loving him secretly, I can finally say that PJ is mine.
And I am his.
Arianna Black (Guest) asked two questions.
Q: Why does the Dan and Phil pairing not exist in real life?
A: IT DOES! DON'T SAY IT DOESN'T! SHHHHH!
Q: Who is the dominant and who is the submissive?
A: Okay I love that I got this question twice xD but like I said, Phil is usually dominant, Dan is usually submissive.
Torelli asked three questions.
Q: Where will Dan and Phil spend their honeymoon?
A: I haven't really thought about that. I probably won't write about their honeymoon. I'd rather start a whole new story. But if I had to pick a place, they'd probably go somewhere really cool like Hawaii.
Q: Will they run into any problems while they're married? Like children/no children?
A: They had a daughter named Bella, but I don't think they would run into many actual problems like divorce.
Q: What's happening with PJ and Chris? Will you tell their story in different fanfictions, or just start new chapters in this one revolving around them?
A: I'm planning on writing some kickthestickz sometime soon, but not for this story. But if you're lucky, I just might write their wedding for this story.
Those were all of the questions! Thank you so much for sending them in! I had fun answering them! Now onto the emotional part.
LITTLE CLOSING MONOLOGUE
Wow. Just wow. This story is just a huge accomplishment to me. I've never been able to finish anything I've started, so I'm really proud of myself for this. This is by far the biggest thing I've ever done and I can't believe I did it. I feel like I finally, for once in my life, did something right. I did something that not everyone has done. It's an amazing feeling. I honestly didn't think I could even carry this on. I thought I'd give up halfway through. But I didn't. And that's thanks to you guys.
You guys gave me over 30,000 views, over 250 comments, and confidence in my writing. You have no idea how lucky I feel to have you guys. It's kind of weird to think, but I think I have...fans. I was even told that someone fangirled over me reviewing their story. That's so insane. I love you guys so much. None of this would have happened without you. Thank you so much. I'm not even joking when I say you guys are my world.
By this point, I'm getting teary eyed. I really don't want to end this story. It's been the greatest experience of my life. I don't want this story to say 'complete'. I don't want to stop writing for this story. I want this story to go on forever. I'm actually almost crying, realizing that this experience is over. But it's not all over, now is it?
I will definitely be writing more stories. I have about a billion one shots written and I'm starting on a multi-chapter already. I hope you guys will stick with me throughout all of that. Now I'm dragging this thing out so long just so I don't have to finish it. Sorry if I'm boring you. I hope you're still reading this. I don't know what else to say. All of you mean the world to me and I love you so much. You're all wonderful and amazing. I'm lucky to be supported by people like you. Thank you. I love you all.
I'll write more stories for you soon.
You guys make my life so much better.
Thank you for reading The True Meaning Of A Friend.
I hope you had as much fun as I did.
-Natalie, the girl who is actually crying now.
