A young man grabs his camcorder. About to go out on his daily walk. The sun is setting but he isin't planning to be out there for long. He knocks on his brothers door and walks out. He flips it open and presses the record button.

"Hey y'all. Its turntech here. This vlog is just a quick message sayin that I'm gonna be gone for a bit."

Got an invitation for vidcon so, they're gonna ship me off to California to have me stand on stage for about an hour.
So, if any of you are goin remember to look for me because why the hell not. I don't bite, im gonna be signin things and meetin up with all ya'll. Soo yeah thats it.

"Turntech out!"

You press the record button again ending your video. You Dave Strider are a viral youtube vlogger. You go by the name TurntechGodhead and have a good 1,000,000 subscribers.

Well thats not too much but. Its a lot more than you could believe. You mostly post dancing videos with your bro and vlog's, as well as the occasional mix. You became a youtube partner about a month ago and everything else had been smooth sailing. You mostly talk about your 'normal' life and social awkwardness. People seem to like that.

Walking through the front door. Dirk is laying on the couch watching mlp. He waves at you and you plop down.

"There's another one." He pipes up.

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah, dude it just came out. Although the idea isn't that great."

"No, are you serious as in you went back into the tags" You say back.

"Dude tumblr is my life don't even go there, also since my lil bro is the subjects of all these ships."

" Wouldn't most people...i don't know, probably cringe to this stuff...especially if sometimes you are the ones in em?"

"Okay dude godcest is pretty weird. And it did start as soon as we did that one dancing video. People are quick."

"Just stop reading them."

"No way, man, these things are qwality"

You groan.

"Also you know theres this youtuber that you're being shipped with now. Its becoming like a real popular ship..."

"And that is?"

"Some kid named ectoBiologist, the ship is called hammertime."

"Why?"

"Remember that one vlog where you just talked about your ability to know the time without a watch like on point."

"Yeah but like hammer?"

"The dude loves hammers. He collects em' and in his comedy videos he's always wilding a hammer instead of a sword or gun."

"Hm. I might check his channel out."

"*cough* him *cough*"

"What?"

"Mn! Nothin"

You run up stairs yelling though the distance. "STOP SHIIPING ME WITH PEEOPLEE!!" at him and move on to your room plugging in your camcorder and opening youtube. You type in EctoBiologist into the search bar and click his channel. Looking through his playlists you see gaming, vlogs, and comedy skits. You turn on his comedy skits for background noise as you start packing for the plane tomorrow.

Your video uploads quickly thanks to your supercharged/altered internet router. (Thanks to a genius older brother). Although technically he isn't even your older brother. You two are twins. He just acts like he is.

You hear noises downstairs of your brother scuffing something around on the ground. You lean your head out the door and see him dragging his suitcase.

"Can't believe your dragging me along for this.." He groans.

"Your helping me alone for a segment remember? Plus. California." You reason

"Woo. Humid weather and hurricanes" he spits.

"Your just being cynical Dirk. California will be rad. Plus we can go to lego city."

You see him fidget, he had been a dork for legos since he was 3 and lego mind storms is what introduced him into robotics. So no matter how much he wants to admit he's too grown up for them he still has a soft spot for the multicolored bricks.

"Whatever, come on we gotta go to bed now if we are ever gonna wake up in time to get to our plane." He trudges to the front door and plop down the suitcase. Jumping onto the couch he crosses his arms and loses his eyes.

"You do know you have a bed..."

"Shoosh. Only dreams now"

You roll your eyes and drag your feet back to your room. Finishing your packing and flopping on your bed to get yourself to sleep. Groaning you close your eyes and wait for the day to come.
