I was in Barnes and Noble at The Grove in LA today, when I saw Dan and Phil coming up the stairs. My immediate reaction was OH MY GOD and I started to speed walk towards them. They disappeared into a door that said âEmployees Onlyâ before I could get to them, so I started to thumb through the books around the door in order to not look like a stalker. A member of staff told us that they had left the building through a staff exit and I thought that Iâd missed my chance to meet them, so was (as youâd expect) rather sad. I looked out the window hoping to see them and after a few tense minutes, lo and behold, they were walking down the street. I just said âTHATâS THEMâ and ran down the three flights of stairs to the street and ran after them. I caught up to them and said âPhil?â in a voice which I was surprised he could hear, and he turned around. I must have been doing a fangirl face because he was like âDan get over hereâ before I even said anything. They started saying things like were like âHello! Would you like a picture?â So I got out my phone and they started laughing and asked if I had their case (I have the âphansplosionâ case) Dan said âI have really long arms so I can take the picâ and then he stopped and said âWait Iâve gotta fix my hairâ and they simultaneously said 'Fringe check!â and laughed. They took 2 photos and were about to leave, but I said 'Would it be awkward if I ask for your signatures?â (which is an awkward way of saying can I have your autograph) So they were like 'Yeah of courseâ but then I couldnât find a pen in my bag, and this really pretty lady who was with them let me borrow her pen. I put my shopping bag full of books down to get my journal out of my bag and it started to fall over, but Dan straightened it up while I was rootling through my bag. I got out my journal and some leaves started to fall out and I said 'Oh no Iâm pressing leaves sorryâ, and Phil asked where I was from and I replied England, and they said that theyâd thought so. Dan asked if I had gone to Vidcon, but I said that I hadnât because the tickets had sold out. He proceeded to tell me that he was glad that heâd met me then. Phil checked that he was spelling my name correctly and said 'So itâs Natasha with an a-s-h-a?â and I said yeah. He signed it then gave it to Dan and they were laughing and saying 'Ah no we wrote Phil and Dan! Itâs the wrong way round!â We said our goodbyes and I returned the pen, and returned myself shaking to the bookshop. They were so wonderful to me and I havenât stopped smiling since! Thank you danisnotonfire and amazingphil, I couldnât have chosen any better people to look up to!
