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 āEmployees Onlyā 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 Iād missed my chance to meet them, so was (as youād 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 āTHATāS THEMā and ran down the three flights of stairs to the street and ran after them. I caught up to them and said āPhil?ā 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 āDan get over hereā before I even said anything. They started saying things like were like āHello! Would you like a picture?ā So I got out my phone and they started laughing and asked if I had their case (I have the āphansplosionā case) Dan said āI have really long arms so I can take the picā and then he stopped and said āWait Iāve gotta fix my hairā and they simultaneously said 'Fringe check!ā and laughed. They took 2 photos and were about to leave, but I said 'Would it be awkward if I ask for your signatures?ā (which is an awkward way of saying can I have your autograph) So they were like 'Yeah of courseā but then I couldnāt 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 Iām pressing leaves sorryā, and Phil asked where I was from and I replied England, and they said that theyād thought so. Dan asked if I had gone to Vidcon, but I said that I hadnāt because the tickets had sold out. He proceeded to tell me that he was glad that heād met me then. Phil checked that he was spelling my name correctly and said 'So itās Natasha with an a-s-h-a?ā 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! Itās the wrong way round!ā We said our goodbyes and I returned the pen, and returned myself shaking to the bookshop. They were so wonderful to me and I havenāt stopped smiling since! Thank you danisnotonfire and amazingphil, I couldnāt have chosen any better people to look up to!
