Lizzy's POV

I wake up the next morning and am immediately confused. Why am I not in my rather uncomfortable bed in the orphanage? Why do I feel so at peace? What is that gold shiny thing on the wall? Wait, did I get adopted? I went over what had happened the previous day, trying to separate my dreams from reality. I remembered seeing Dan and Phil and smiled to myself. That had been an epic dream. I grinned sleepily and went back to attempting to remember what had happened yesterday. The thoughts of Dan and Phil became stronger and I looked around. I realized where I was. My eyes widened. 

"So it wasn't a dream," I gasped to myself. I checked the time on the iPad and groaned. It was 5:00 a.m. WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF!? I cried mentally. I have a bad habit of accidentally waking up at too-early-for-everyone-else-o-clock. I groaned when I remembered what time 'morning' is for Dan. Not that I could blame him. I either wake up at 4:00 a.m. or 11; there is no in between. I wondered what time Phil got up. Probably around 10:00, maybe. Honestly, I was just guessing. I wanted to listen to music when I remembered...

i didn't have the wifi code.

 "Meh," I humphed violently. I decided to just sing to myself.  I took a deep breath and began singing quietly under my breath.

"The city, it runs cold todaayy-ay-ay-ayy. The sunshine- it is shinin' graayyy," I sang.

"And I wish I could dig straight down, pack it all away. Ay ay oh ay ay," I chanted to the imaginary beat. 

"But in the dark, there's still a sou-ou-ound. And nothing changed," 

"Don't know if have ever heard you sing but I hear it. Hear it, hear it. Hear it, hear it,"

"Don't know if I have held your hand but I seek it. Seek it, seek it. Seek it, seek it."

"Don't know if I have ever loved, but I feel iiiiittt."

"Put the puzzle back together, see what I'm dreaming,"

"When I find the pieces!" I sang. I hummed the following beat and chorus and continued with my song.

"Put the puzzle back together, see what I'm dreamin'. Do do do do dododo. Oh ohh, ay ay, ay ayoohh ohhohoohohoh. Dodo. Oh ohh, ay ay, ay ayoohh ohhohoohohoh. WHEN I FIND THE PIECES!" I sang happily. I continued vocalizing the rest of the song and moved on to another, considerably slower tune. 

"Des images, me reveinnet. Come le souvenir tendre," I started with the soothing tune of Once Upon a December. I slowly sang the full version in French. I'm quite proud of the fact that I know the whole song in French. I continued singing quietly to myself and finally got out my journal and started writing. I wrote about my feelings and the daydream that I keep in my head. I finally signed off saying that I'd write again soon. I closed the journal and sighed. I checked the time on my Chromebook. 5:25. 

UGH

                       T I M E S K I P  B R O U G H T  T O  Y O U  B Y  B O R R E E E D D 

It was 8:30. I got up and started wandering around the apartment, trying not to eat all of the snacks or make too much noise.

I finally decided to go and check on the boys, maybe see if Phil might be showing signs of life anytime soon. I peeped my head in and saw him out cold. 'Gosh I am so creepy' I thought to myself, smiling slightly in defeat, like 'I know I am a horrible person, and I accept my fate'. I decided to poke my head into Dan's room, too, because why the heck not. He was also dead asleep. Then I just wheedled around, doing quiet chores like unloading the dishwasher as silently as humanly possible, or smelling all the candles in the house, or stealing the peanut butter. I waited for them to wake up, but I was getting impatient.

                      T I M E S K I P  B R O U G H T  T O  Y O U  B Y  L A Z Y  L I Z Z Y        

About 2 hours later I hear a noise coming from down the hall. I get up to investigate and hear Phil talking quietly in his room. I peer in through the crack and see Phil sitting on his bed, speaking to the camera. I opened the door and slid inside. Phil jumped, startled by my sudden appearance.

"Lizzy! I didn't know that you were awake!" Phil cried. "Been up since 'bout 5," I told him. 

"5!? Why!?" Phil asked. "I don't actually know, to be honest," I admitted. "I sometimes do this weird thing where I just randomly wake up at too-early-for-sane-people-o'-clock. I'm just glad that it wasn't three or four this time."

"Oh, okay. I'm just making a video," Phil informed me. 

"Cool. What's it about?" I asked. "You!" He said excitedly. A grin formed on my face. "Really?"

"Yes, really! I don't know whether or not I'm going to edit this out," Phil said, thinking.

"So you've already made the announcement video?" I asked, slightly surprised. "I would've thought that you'd do that with Dan, seeing as to how this is so important. Or are you making separate videos?" 

"No, we haven't TECHNICALLY made the announcement vid yet. I was just filming one of the parts. Then I'm going to edit and go back and put the part that I filmed with Dan actually announcing that we adopted you at the very beginning. Does that make sense?" He asked, cocking his head.

I thought about it for a moment. "Yeah, that makes sense. So what exactly are you talking about now?" I questioned. 

"Oh, I was talking about how we came to the decision to adopt and which kid we would want to adopt," Phil said. I walked over and sat down on the bed, my blanket wrapped around me. "Yeah, why did you want to adopt me?" I wondered aloud. "One second," he said to me. He looked at the camera and said, "So we decided to adopt Lizzy here," he gestured to me, "When the headmistress- I don't want to use her actual name, so I'll just call her... Miss Headmistress. Anyways, when Miss Headmistress described her to us, we knew that she was the one." He tilted his head back and did bug eyes at the camera. I did the same thing and said "DUNNNNN". "You know that you don't actually have to do the sound effect, right?" Phil told me. I nodded. "I know. I could just hear it in my head,"

"So, what did she say that made you sure that you had to have me?" I asked, curiously. I knew that Miss Heatherby didn't exactly think highly of me. She thought that I spent too much time in fantasy and on the Internet and not enough time in reality. Also, she thought that I was kind of insane, which is more or less true. I mean, I am quite weird, and also have a slight (read-large) shipping obsession. She has no idea what shipping is, though. I also have ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, which basically means that I have trouble paying attention and am hyper. I take medication, which helps a lot, but it's still kind of hard sometimes. It doesn't help that she's impatient whenever I can't do something when my medicine wears off. 

"Oh, she said some mean stuff about you, but also mentioned that you are a huge nerd-oh wait sorry, was that rude?" He said worriedly, looking at me. "Was what rude? That she said mean stuff about me?" I asked, slightly baffled. "When I said that you were a huge nerd," Phil said. I laughed, "Pshh, I AM a huge nerd. I am proud to be a nerd. And weird. Like you said, normalness leads to sadness!" I sang. Phil beamed. "Okay, good! But yeah, Miss Headmistress said that you really enjoyed watching videos on the Internet and Harry Potter. She also mentioned that you were really kind and creative and sweet."

"But my friends are those things, too," I said. "Katy and Kathleen. They're nerdy and sweet and really nice. Well... Actually, Kathleen's a bit of a demon, but she's a really nice demon!" 

"Well, I dunno, but Dan and I agreed on you. But I didn't know you have friends back at the orphanage?" He asked curiously. 

"Oh, yeah, Katy and Kathleen and..... Katy and Kathleen," I laughed slightly. "I get the feeling  that they'll be adopted soon, though {MAJOR FORESHADOWING OMG}. They're good girls, and I dunno.. I just have this gut feeling. I CAN FEEL IT IN MY SOUL!" I sang loudly. Phil laughed and shushed me. "What?" I asked. "You're gonna wake up Dan!" Phil whisper-shouted at me. A look of 'o crap' came over me and I covered my mouth. "Sorry," I squeaked. 

I heard a sound come from across the hall. "Too late," I breathed. But it turned out that he was just moving because he didn't make any other sounds after that. He reached over and turned off the camera. He looked at me. "So, what to you wanna do?" he asked. 

"Let's go and eat everything," I suggested. He laughed. "Actually," he said, looking at me quizzically. "Do you like anime?"

I bit my lip, "Well..... I'm not really a big... otaku? Is that the word? I never got into anime, but I kinda want to try it," I told him. His eyes lit up. "Oh! I'll show you my favorite! It's called 'Death Note'," 

I looked unsure. "I dunno...." I was a bit hesitant, though I didn't know why. 

"Aww, c'mon! Please? It can't hurt to try it!" Phil pled, unintentionally using his big blue eyes to his advantage. Or maybe he did it purposefully, I dunno. "Sure, why not," I said.

We hadn't gotten very far into the episode when Dan walked into the lounge. "Oh, hey guys, you're already up," he said. "No, duh," I replied. I grinned and squealed internally. "Hobbit hair," I said, pointing to his curly bed hair. Dan scowled slightly. "Yeah, sorry," he apologized, sitting down next to Phil and I. 

"Why are you apologizing?!" I asked incredulously. "I love your hobbit hair!" Dan shrugged and got up to go and get breakfast. I heard him call to us, "I see someone's been eating my cereal again,"

"WASN'T ME!" Phil and I both called back. "IT WAS PHIL!" I yelled. "IT WAS LIZZY!" Phil shouted at the same time. I heard Dan sigh audibly and pour cereal. "It was you," I said to Phil. Dan came back moments later and asked me what I wanted. I told him that I wanted Fruit Loops. "So do I! Wait.... How did you know that there were Fruit Loops?" Phil asked me suspiciously. "I've been up since 5," I responded simply. 

"FIVE! Oh, no, Phil, have we adopted a morning child?" Dan asked. I laughed. "No, not really. I mean, sort of, yes. I either wake up at around four or 11, there is no in between," I told him. "Okay good," Dan said with a grin.

                       T I M E S K I P  B R O U G H T  T O  Y O U  B Y  C E R E A L

Well.

This is it.

They're about to make the announcement video. My heart is racing. How will the phandom accept me? I'm also worried that people might try and sue me for giving them a heart attack. Heck, I've wanted to sue my new... dads? Calling them 'dad' sounds weird, so I'll just call them by their names for now. Anyways, I've wanted to sue Dan and Phil for heart attacks before. But all joking aside, what if they don't like me? What if they deem that I'm not good enough? I typically never give a knife {A/N, yes, I swear using cutlery. Continue} what people think of me. Unless it's a good thought. Then YAY! 

Omigosh they're about to start recording. I stand awkwardly in the doorway of Phil's room. 

"Hello internet," "Hey guys!" They said at the same time. "So, no point in beating around the bush, now," Dan said. 

"We've got something very important to tell you!" Phil said in a slightly singsong voice. I smiled slightly and thought to myself, '583408 people just had a heart attack thinking that they were FINALLY coming out'.

"Yes, now, as you may know, there are thousands of kids all around the world who, sadly don't have parents. They either have died or abandoned them or whatever, but typically, those orphans are then taken to an orphanage, where they can either get adopted or spend the rest of their lives," Dan rambled. "And, well, we've decided help out one of those orphans by giving them a proper home," 

"That's right!" Phil said, jumping slightly on the bed, unable to contain his enthusiasm. "Dilly has a sister now!" 

"And no, we did not adopt another Sim," Dan said. They both took a deep breath and looked at each other. "We've adopted a child!" they cried at the same time. 'And the phandom just had a heart attack and are screaming their heads off' I thought. 

"Her name is Lizzy, and-" Dan said but was cut off by Phil. "Dan! What if she wanted to introduce herself!?" Dan looked at the camera. "Oops." I laughed. "Oh well, you probably just heard her then, come on in LIZZY!" Phil said dramatically. I crawled on over to the bed. "Lizzy... Lizzy what are you doing..." Dan asked, watching me slither across the floor. I started humming the Jaws theme. "DUN NA NAAA!" I exclaimed as I jumped up, right into the camera. "WOAH JUMPSCARE!" Dan laughed. I plopped down on the bed between them and waved at the camera. "HOI I'M TEMMIE! Hellooo! My name is Lizzy! How are you today?" I smiled.

"Yep, this is Lizzy Katz! She's really cool," Phil said. "Awwww, thanks," I said. I wondered if I was blushing. 

"So yeah, we had been thinking about adopting a child for a few months now and finally decided to make the jump!" Dan told everyone. 

"And feel free to check your calendars because today is NOT April 1st. It is, however, October 4th, which is National Golf Day and National Frappe Day," I added. Dan and Phil both looked at me. "And how exactly do you know this?" Dan asked me.  "WEIRD HOLIDAYS.COM!!!" I said loudly. {A/N It's actually a really cool site. Here's the link: http://www.holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/october.htm}

"Okay cool," Dan said. "Anyways, we decided on her because her description on the website said that she was really nerdy and didn't have any siblings. We didn't want to adopt two kids. That would be bad."

"Yeah, we couldn't handle two kids," Phil agreed. "Oh yeah! And it turns out that she's one of you guys! She watches us!" 

"Yup! I am a part of the Phandom. I actually have a Wattpad. Fangirs9348. I write all sorts of fanfics on there," I told the camera. "So, y'know, check it out if you want." 

Dan looked slightly concerned when I said 'all sorts of fanfics'. "Wait, what sort of fanfics? Like..." He trailed off, but I got the message. "OH NO! Nonononononono, no smut. Only fluff and normal fanfics. I also do oneshots, but yeah. No smut," I reassured him. "Okay good," Dan said.

"So yeah, we have a montage of us doing things with Lizzy now, so here we go!" Phil told the camera before turning it off. "Where's the montage?" I asked. "We haven't filmed it all yet," Phil told me. "Let's change that," Dan said. "What do you wanna do?" he asked me. 

"Oh, I dunno. Oh but first, can you please get me signed in to the wifi?" I asked. "Of course!" Dan replied. After he got me signed in, I asked if we could have a Harry Potter movie marathon. "Sure! I love Harry Potter!" Dan replied. "I KNOW ME TOO!" I enthused loudly. "I'm Ravenclaw," I said proudly. "Cool. I think I'd be in Slytherin, I dunno," Dan told me. I gave him a look. "You'd TOTALLY be in Slytherin. WAIT I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING!" I cried with a start. Dan jumped. "Sorry!" I apologized. "But I NEED TO FACETIME KATY AND KATHLEEN!" 

"Your friends?" Dan asked. "YUP!" I said. "I'm gonna facetime them like 'O hey, I got adopted would you like to meet my new parents' and they'll be all like 'yeah sure' and then you'll appear and they will have a heart attack and it's going to be great," I told him. "Okay, lemme just go and get Phil," Dan said. "I'll tell you when you should appear!" I called after him.

After Dan had retrieved Phil, it was time. I clicked the call button for Kathleen's phone and hoped and prayed that she would pick up. About 20 seconds later, she picked up. I saw her eyes light up as she saw who it was. 

"LIZZY!" She shouted. "KATHLEEN!" I shouted back. "WHERE'S KATY!?"

"KATY!!!!" I heard Kathleen scream. I smiled giddily. "WHAT!?" I heard Katy stomp in. "IT'S LIZZY!" Kathleen told her. "Lizzy?" Katy asked. "Yes, Lizzy, now get your butt over here!" Kathleen snapped. "STOP FIGHTING GOSHDANGIT!" I yelled at them. I saw Katy sit down and elbow Kathleen. Kathleen retaliated by elbowing her back. "Girls!" I scolded them. "Hi, Lizzy!" Katy chirped. "Hi, Katy!" I replied happily. 

"So who'd you get adopted by? What's it like in London? Do your parents like YouTube? Have they banned you from watching anyone yet? Do they like Harry Potter? What are their jobs? Have they seen Totoro or any Studio Ghibli movies? Do your parents have British accents?" Their questions came at me rapid-fire, and I opened my hand and closed it- the sign for silence. They stopped talking. I took a deep breath. 

"I think I can answer those questions, but first would you like to meet my parents?" I asked them, barely suppressing a huge grin. As it was, I had a small smile on my lips. They nodded vigorously. "YES," they said at the same time. 

"Okay, come on guys," I said to Dan and Phil, gesturing them over. They walked over to the couch and sat down on either side of me. They popped their heads into view at the same time and smiled at the twins. "Hello!" they said simultaneously. I grinned at the twins and waited for their reactions. At first, they just stared at the screen blankly. Then, I saw the realization and shock creep over their faces. Their eyes got wider, their mouths opened slightly. "Is-that's-" Kathleen stuttered. "IS THAT DAN AND PHIL!?!!?" Katy shouted. "Yes," Dan replied. "Hello!" Phil said happily. Suddenly, it was rather hard to see what was happening on the twin's end. It kept on moving around. But I heard screaming and yelling. Dan and Phil both looked rather concerned. I simply sat there, smiling my face off. Katy finally picked up the iPod again and looked at my new parents. "Are you two da-"Katy started to ask, but then Kathleen snatched her iPod back. "OMG!!!!!!" Kathleen said. "Yep! These two lovely gentlemen adopted me!" I said. I told them the story of how I found this out and they told me about what had been happening back at the orphanage. 

"Oh yeah, and I think that Miss Heatherby said that someone was interested in adopting me," Katy told me, flipping her hair over her shoulder. My eyes lit up. "Really!? That's great!" I said. "We have to go," Kathleen said. "Okay, bye," I said, pouting. "Bye!" They said at the same time. 

Dan looked at me and smiled. "So how about that Harry Potter marathon now?"

A/N HOI FRENS

I IZ ALIVE I FEEL LIKE I HAVEN'T WRITTEN IN FOREVER! HOW YA BEEN?! 

I hope you liked this chapter! The beginning was so hard to write. I have no idea why. But yeah, sorry that the beginning was crap. I have no real ideas, so if you could PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE comment some ideas for the next chapter, that would be ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. Also please request stuff in general. I do all sorts of fics, like Phan (duh), Mianite (also duh I've written a Marthlington oneshot on here already), Aphmau, Markiplier (probs), YouTubers in general, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and yeah! Also, I have major foreshadowing in this chapter for two other ADOPTED fics that I want to write. They're about Katy and Kathleen. Also, here's a major hint for who Katy's getting adopted by; She's writing her own fanfic about it. Here I'll just go ahead and tell you: Katy's getting adopted by Waglington, Kathleen's getting adopted by......SPOILERS.

Tee hee. (no that's not a hint).  

I have no ideas for the next chapter. So again, PLEASE GIVE ME IDEAS FOR THE NEXT PART AND OTHER FANFICS. 

Okay, song recommendation!
