Phillip's POV*

Dan and Phil had gone out to town to buy food supplies. I was currently sitting on the sofa, thinking. 

Just thinking.

Thinking about what?

Well, Daniel. The Portal Machine. Dan. Phil. Mum. Dad. My brother. My world. This world. My lab. My inventions. Life ... that one was pretty deep.

My main thoughts were, What am I doing?

I shouldn't be in this universe ... it is messing things up. Someone will discover the machine at home and maybe one day they will link it to my disappearance and then they will take it apart bit by bit and study it. I think Daniel and I didn't think the whole thing through properly. In the wrong hands that machine could destroy worlds and mess up history. 

I groaned and dragged a hand down my face in frustration. At least they wouldn't have the blue prints, I was smart enough to think of that-

THE BLUE PRINTS!

I jumped up and started searching the whole house for my lab suit. I searched every washing basket and every cupboard and shouted in frustration when I couldn't find it. Where the hell was my suit?

I heard the door click and I jumped to my feet, quickly running to the door thinking it was Dan and Phil. "Dan, Phil, have you seen-" I stopped in my tracks when I saw a familiar figure standing mid step in the hallway.

"Hey Phil, why did you say your own name?" PJ chuckled. I gulped, what about when other Phil got home? 

"Oh um, I must have read it before I got up and accidentally said it out loud." I replied, trying to act casual. He was Dan and I's friend in the other universe. Not completely close but close science colleagues. 

"Haha okay, I'm assuming Dan isn't here then?" PJ asked.

"Nope but he should be home soon." I replied and he nodded, walking into the living room. I was panicking, I needed to be the one to answer the door so PJ didn't freak out. I didn't have a phone to call them and I doubt my wrist phone would connect in this universe.

"So is there a reason you barged into my house?" I attempted as a joke and he grinned.

"Hey, you're the one who trusted me with the spare key." He pointed out and I just nodded. "And I haven't seen you in ages, I was in the neighbourhood and thought, why not?" He answered.

"Ah, well it's nice to see you. Do you mind if I borrow your phone? Mine is out of charge and I need to call Dan quickly." I asked.

"Oh sure." PJ shrugged and handed his phone to me. I smiled gratefully and nearly ran into the kitchen, quickly finding Dan's contact. I tapped on it and impatiently waited, hearing it ring four times.

"Hey PJ, what's up?" Dan answered.

"It's not PJ it's PHILLIP!" I whisper yelled.

"WHAT? What are you doing with PJ's phone?" He asked, shocked.

"Well I asked to borrow it considering he's RIGHT IN YOUR LIVING ROOM! I'm sort of panicking here. Can you get back soon and warn Phil that he's here? I can't chance him seeing us!" I panicked.

"Alright, alright. Um, just wing it. I'll go back to the apartment to see you and I'll call Phil later when we manage to kick PJ out." 

"He's only passing through, he might leave in a bit."

"Okay well don't be awkward. Be nice and try get him out." Dan said then hung up. I groaned and switched the phone off and walking back into the living room. I handed his phone back and sat next to him.

"So how are you then?" I asked, trying not to sound too awkward.

"Good actually, oh and did you know Chris and Molly started dating?" PJ grinned. In my world Chris Kendall was mine and Daniel's neighbour. We didn't really talk much but he was good company when we did talk, but I had no idea who Molly was!

"Oh cool, and what about you?" I nearly cringed. What if he already had a girlfriend and one of his friends have forgotten? I wanted to slap myself but I still kept the nervous smile on my face.

"Pfft, I don't need no females. I'm happy to be single just now but maybe in the future. What about you?" PJ asked but gave me a secret wink. I was confused about the action but gulped, should I tell him about Phil and Sarah? Might as well, I won't give too much away.

"Oh well I did see this one girl Sarah. I think we're meeting again on Friday." I tried my best to remember what Phil told me. 

"Sarah? But what about Dan?" PJ frowned. I felt my heart leap into my throat. So Phil did like Dan? He must have told PJ otherwise he is making a very awkward assumption.

"What about him?" I asked, feeling the nerves hit me hard.

"Well you're always moaning about how he will never like you, how amazing he is, how you'll never be good enough." PJ mocked and I frowned.

"Well ... I dunno PJ, sheesh." I groaned, letting the frustration out a little.

"Jeez, sorry I asked. Either this Sarah means something to you or you're confused, and I wouldn't give up on Dan that easily Phil. I mean I think there's a proper chance there." PJ replied, looking serious but not completely.

"Thanks PJ, I'll think about it." I smiled.

"Good, anyways Phillip I must dash." I tensed at the name but relaxed as I realized he was teasing me.

"Ugh, don't call me that." I grinned.

"Pfft, never!" He grinned and got his things. "See you later Phil." He called from the hallway and I heard the door click shut.

Not only five minutes later did it click open again and Dan ran in, panting. "Where ... is ... he?" He wheezed.

"Gone." I shrugged.

"What?" Dan frowned.

"He didn't stay long, we just chatted then he left." I replied, hoping he wouldn't ask.

"About what?" Damn.

"Nothing, it doesn't matter." I tried to brush off.

"No, I need to know what you were talking about, what if you said something un-Phil like?" Dan argued, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Make me!" I smirked and he looked at me, shocked.

"Oh you're in for it!" He exclaimed and I yelped, jumping up as he ran after me. He chased me round the apartment until he pinned me to the sofa and started tickling me.

"DAN...STOP...NOW!" I shouted between breaths.

Dan just laughed as I squealed and giggled beneath his tickling fingers. "Ahem." We heard from the doorway and looked up to see Phil looking quite angry.

"It's okay Phil, PJ's gone." Dan smiled, still sitting on my stomach. I saw Phil glare at our position and mumble a 'whatever' before leaving for his room.

"Trying to make someone jealous are we?" I smirked. 

"Maybe." Dan blushed and got off me, offering a hand. I smiled and took it.

"Oh, before I forget. Where did you put my lab suit?" I asked.

"Oh um, I think I put it out to dry on the balcony." Dan replied.

"Thanks." I ran to the balcony and sifted through the clothes until I found my suit. Thank god for waterproof paper! I took the roll out my pocket and walked back into the room.
