Milk, as insignificant as it seemed, was quite important in the making of the fantastic Dan Howell Ultra Supreme Chocolate Wonder Hot Chocolate. Sure, one could just use water, but it wouldn't taste right and taste is everything to that recipe. Milk was a must, and, at that point, if Dan didn't get that milk, he felt as if he might break break down. It would be hard to explain to Phil why he locked himself in his room over milk. He knew he could, but Dan did not want to reiterate what had happened that day. A culmination of negative comments on videos and pictures, and news that an old friend was horrendously ill had led to a horrible day. Usually, Phil would be there to comfort him, but he was in Manchester and would be for a few more days. Dan didn't fancy calling him after they had talked barely an hour ago.

So, Dan was left with a choice: he could either break down and cry over missing milk or go to the bloody store and buy some milk. He opted for the latter. Just as he was pulling on his coat, the doorbell rang, causing Dan to jump. Thinking maybe Phil had ordered something, he rushed to the door.It was not the postman. Rather, it was a young guy with blondish hair and nervous, green eyes. Dan thought he looked vaguely familiar, but couldn't quite place him.

"Are you Dan?" he asked, looking past the door as if Dan could be hiding the real Dan Howell.

"Yes. Who are you?"

"Kevin. A friend of a friend." Kevin fished his phone out of his pocket and pulled up a video. The thumbnail showed Phil in his old bedroom, sitting on his floor like in his older videos. A wave of nostalgia came over Dan. Kevin pressed play.

"Hi, Dan! You're probably wondering what's going on right now, but it will all make sense later. I'm sending you on a scavenger hunt! Your first destination is an easy one. Think songs and microphones and challenges and lots of talking. If you can't think of where I'm talking about, Kevin knows where you're supposed to go. See ya later, love."

The screen went black and Kevin pocketed his phone. "Do you know where to go?"

Dan chuckled softly. Phil really sucked at riddles. "BBC studio." The guy nodded. "Do you know what this is for?" Dan asked.

The boy's lips quirked up slightly. "I do."

"Can you tell me?"

"It's a surprise, obviously," he snorted.

Dan narrowed his eyes. "How 'bout a hint?"

"Bye, Dan." Kevin turned around and walked away, leaving Dan with more questions than answers.

Dan shook his head and walked back upstairs to grab his keys, wallet, and phone. He turned off the light and headed toward the BBC Radio 1 studio.

Dan got to the studio and waved to Leah, the receptionist. "What are you doing here?" she asked, folding her hands under her chin.

Dan rested his elbows on her desk and said, "Phil's sent me on a scavenger hunt."

"I thought he was in Manchester?"

He nodded. "He is. He's sending me short video clips."

"Do you know what it's for?"
