Author's Note

Charlie, aka XelaPlays, is a famous YouTuber with over 16 million subscribers. Having grown up watching YouTube, this is her dream come true.

Now, living her life in LA with her best friend Tori, she finds herself presented with an opportunity- to record with Markiplier, one of her favorite YouTubers from when she was 16. What she doesn't know is how much more it will be than "just one video".
