Dan and Phil glance at each other. "Alright, I'll get it," Phil says. He stands up and walks toward the door, Dan then gets up and follows him. Phil opens the door and sees Louise. "Hey, Louise!" Phil says, brightening. Dan waves from behind him. "Hey guys!" She says. "Sooo, what's the big announcement?" She says excitedly with a glint in her eye. "We're not telling you until everyone is here," Dan says. "No, come on!" Louise whines. "Are you moving? Are you getting a dog?" She starts rambling. "Louise!" Phil protests, laughing. "Alright, fine." The doorbell rings again. Phil opens the door and PJ walks inside. "Hey everyone!" He says. They all greet him and move into the living room. More and more people start showing up and about a half hour later the party is in full swing. People are chatting in the kitchen, dancing in the lounge, hanging out in the living room. It seems like everyone is having a good time.
The doorbell rings and Phil goes to answer it. It's the pizza delivery man with dinner. Phil pays him, walks up the stairs, and calls, "Dinner's here!" Everyone comes into the kitchen, grabs pizza, and returns to the party. As the night goes on, people start to wonder about their 'special announcement' and Louise starts pestering them again. Currently Dan, Phil, Louise, Cat, PJ, Tyler (he was in town so they decided to invite him), and a bunch of other people are chatting in the living room. "C'mon, guys, tell us already!" Cat says to them. "Hold on," Dan says. "Phil, can I talk to you a sec?" "Um, yeah sure." They stand up and Dan leads Phil into his bedroom. He closes the door and turns to Phil. "We didn't talk about how we would tell them!" Dan says, annoyed at himself for not anticipating this. "Yeah.." Phil agrees, trying to think. "Ugh, we'll just figure it out later. They'll get worried if we stay in here any longer." Dan says. "Ok.." They walk back out to the living room, take their spots again on the couch, and resume conversation. A minute later Phil turns to Dan and says, "Hey, Dan, can you throw away my plate?" And he holds out the paper plate with the crust of his pizza still on it. "Yeah, sure." Dan takes the plate and stacks it on top of his empty one, but before he stands up, he pecks Phil on the lips. When Dan breaks away, he smiles and stands to throw away the garbage. Phil smiles back and returns to his conversation with Louise and PJ. Everyone just stares at them. "What?" Phil furrows his brow, confused. Then his eyes widen in realization and he snaps his head around to look at Dan, who was staring at him, eyes wide, with the same realization of what he just did crashing down on him.
"Did that just happen?" Louise asks, gaping at them. "Yeah," Cat says, in shock, from across the room. "Um.." Phil fiddles with his fingers, pleading to Dan with his eyes to help him. "Okay, guys," Dan sets the plates on the table and leans against the wall. "Um.. that was our announcement. Phil and I are going out." "Yeah," Phil nods and looks around nervously at the group of friends surrounding him, gnawing on his lip. It takes a second for the news to sink in, then Louise breaks the silence. "Oh, you guys! Congratulations!" she beams. Everyone gets over their shock and starts to congratulate them. "You know the internet's going to explode," Tyler says to Dan. "Probably," Dan laughs along with him.
Another couple hours later and the party is winding down. PJ is the last to go. "Alright, I should be heading home now," he finally sighs, then stands up to go. Phil and Dan stand up to say goodbye, and they all walk together to the door. "Hey, congrats again on finally getting together," PJ smirks at them. "Thanks," Phil smiles at the floor, embarrassed. PJ pulls them both into a tight hug. He releases them, opens the door, and says goodbye. "Bye!" Dan replies, and closes the door behind them. "Well, that went ok," he says to Phil, leaning his back on the door. "It could've gone better!" Phil says playfully. "What do you mean?" Dan asks innocently. "I mean you didn't have to impromptu kiss me in the middle of the party!" "It was an accident!" Dan defends himself, laughing. "Typical Dan," Phil rolls his eyes and laughs with Dan. Their laughter trails off and soon they are just staring at each other. Dan becomes overwhelmed with emotion, and he wraps his arms around Phil's neck and pulls him into a passionate kiss, the feeling of publicly declaring they were a couple fueling the embrace (but not too publicly - they had asked their friends not to say anything until the video was up). Phil places his hands on Dan's hips and clutches him closer, working his lips against Dan's like there's no tomorrow. The kiss mellows out, and all too soon, Dan pulls away. "Let's get some rest. Remember, we're filming the gaming video tomorrow," He says. Phil sighs. "Alright." They relax for a little bit, then brush their teeth and get ready for bed in the bathroom. "Night, Dan!" Phil calls over his shoulder before going into his bedroom. "Night, Phil," he calls back, then they both go to their bedrooms and fall into a peaceful sleep, neither anticipating what was soon to happen.
The next day, Dan and Phil have breakfast and clean up the mess leftover from the party. At around 3 in the afternoon they decide to start filming. Dan and Phil head into the gaming room, set up their camera, and Phil hits record. "Hello DanAndPhilGAMES Pikachu's!" Phil starts the video. "Really?" Dan asks Phil. "What? It's the most popular Pokemon!" Phil says. "Fair enough," Dan rolls his eyes. "Well, today we are bringing you another installment of Pokemon GO." "Yup. Let's activate our Pokemon hunting outfits!" Phil says. Dan rolls his eyes and smiles. "Wow. Alright, well, I have upgraded my outfit again!" "You have?" Phil asks him incredulously. "Yeah," Dan grins at Phil. "Ok, well, let's go!" They turn off the camera, change into their outfits, and walk outside. Then Phil and Dan take a taxi to a nearby city and look for cool places to go. Dan starts filming Phil and his phone on their video camera they use for vlogging (like a Day in The Life).
"So right now we are in [name of park]. Let's load up the app!" Phil clicks on the icon and the game starts loading. He shows them the Pokemon he has caught and explains some of the funny stories behind the names. Then Dan hands Phil the camera and he starts showing his Pokemon. They also update everyone on their level and items. Dan gets the camera back and they look for nearby Pokestops, wandering around and catching Pokemon on the way. "Ugh, not another Drowzee!" Phil complains as he starts to catch one. "I have like a million of these!" "Well, don't catch it then!" Dan says. "But I need the XP and stardust," Phil grumbles. After he catches it (wasting 4 pokeballs), he says, "I'm going to name it.. 'not another one' cause I'm sick of these things. They're everywhere!" Phil clicks on the Drowzee and starts to name it, but it doesn't fit, so it's name is now 'notanotheron'. "Alright, so we now have 'notanotheron' and 'traffichazar'!" Dan announces. Phil laughs, "Yep!". They continue walking around for a long time, catching different Pokemon, exploring new places and meeting some fans on the way. After a while, Dan and Phil find themselves on the edge of town, surrounded by parks and all is quiet. "Well, it's getting pretty dark, we should wrap this up now." Dan remarks to Phil. "Alright," he agrees. They film the outro outside and Dan turns off the camera. "'Kay, let's go," he says to Phil.
They start heading back home. Then Dan gets a notification on his phone as they're about to cross a quiet street. He glances at it and sees it's just a reminder he set and forgot to turn off from the day before, and he gets caught up in checking things on his phone. Suddenly he realizes Phil is not next to him anymore. Dan glances up and sees Phil crossing the road, looking at his phone and not paying attention. Time stops. All Dan is aware of is his own pounding heart, Phil, and the car barreling straight towards him.
