AN/ first phanfic so please don't murder me. I don't normally like real person fics but in this, they're not exactly theme so it doesn't seem as weird for me XD. Probably not romance unless I decide to change it...

there could be a possible trigger warning for mentions of suicide and death

but don't worry, cause nobody dies later in the story! :)

disclaimer: I don't own YouTube or Dan or Phil~

PROLOGUE

The year is 2043 - 25 years since the internet revolution. My name is Dan, I'm 16, and right now I'm bored as ever. However in just five minutes, I'll be able to go to my next class.. History. The best class of all. Why? Because I hadn't been boring and taken normal history. I'd taken internet history.

and what were we learning about? YouTube, along with the other social networking sites that used to be up during that era. Now, however, I had to stare blankly out of the window and wait for the teacher to stop telling me that we are going to need algebra. Even my dad agrees, algebra is not something you will need. Ever. Seriously, what's the friggen point to algebra!

Before I could finish the little mini rant in my head, the bell rang and I fled the horrible classroom, trading it for a much more interesting subject.

"as you know, around the year of 2015 was when YouTube began to experience it's fall. Who can tell me the name of the youtuber that died, unknowingly sparking the death of YouTube itself?"

A few hands flew up into the air - of course, the answer was easy, but I had no need to seem like a know-it-all.

"Danisnotonfire?" The voice of a slightly unsure sounding girl came floating from the back. I vaguely wonder what happened to all his fans when he died. He had over 3 million by this point, after all.

"close. Amazingphil, Danisnotonfire's roommate, was the youtuber that died first. Dan died a week after uploading his last video, six months later"

Actually, Phil had died in hospital after a fire which Dan blamed himself for, and Dan hung himself six months later in one of his friends bathrooms. However, the teacher would never go into the gruesome details of things.

of course after this, a bunch of stuff happened and the British government said that the internet was causing much more harm than good, when then caused a riot, which then caused the government to ban the internet Apart from educational things. After YouTube was banned in England, the American fans of British youtubers stopped watching completely, and this sparked the same sort of thing.

I don't know why, but the fact that I was scared of fires had never really clicked. Nor the fact that if you looked really closely, me and Danisnotonfire had the same eyes. Was that weird? ...It didn't matter, anyway, it was definitely just a coincidence.

hope you enjoyed it! To be continued, I hope it's not too much of a weird concept or anything xD
