'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is the two hundred fifty seventh video in the lonelygirl15 [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video series]]. It is also the first video of season two.

==Transcript==
'''Carla:''' Hello everyone. My boyfriend, Toby, is Jonas's cousin. And I convinced him we should come here after Bree died and see if we could get him in better spirits. But, he hasn't said a word since we've been here.

(''Cuts to Jonas doing laps in the pool.'')

'''Carla:''' All he does is swim. Hey Jonas.

(''Jonas gets out of the pool. He walks towards Carla who hands him a towel.'')

'''Carla:''' Hey, you want a towel?

(''Jonas takes the towel and walks away.'')

'''Carla:''' Wow! A thank you would have been nice.

(''Carla walks up to Jonas, who is sitting on a lawn chair.'')

'''Carla:''' How was your swim Jonas? Did you have a good swim? (''She rubs Jonas's chest, who rolls over to reject her advances.'') Come on Jonas. Say something. Just one word! Is that too much to ask?

(''Cuts to Carla and Toby in the kitchen.'')

'''Carla:''' I still can't believe he hasn't said anything to me! I mean, nothing!

'''Toby:''' You should see it, baby. He probably doesn't even want us here.

'''Carla:''' But you're his cousin. I think you should be a little more concerned about him.

'''Toby:''' After his parents died, he's really been treating the entire family like we didn't exist. So I don't really ''owe'' him anything.

'''Carla:''' You're just jealous because I flirted with him at that party. (''She tickles him.'')

'''Toby:''' Like how many decades ago was that?

(''Toby leaves the room.'')

'''Carla:''' That was easy. I wonder if it would work on Jonas?

(''Camera pans out the window to Jonas, who is putting on his swimming goggles. Cuts to Carla throwing popcorn to Jonas and Toby as they watch a movie.'')

'''Carla:''' Want some popcorn?

'''Toby:''' Leave him alone, Jesus.

'''Carla:''' I'm not gonna stop until he tells me to.

'''Toby:''' Come on. Carla, please.

'''Carla:''' (''giggles'') Oooh.

(''Jonas gets up and takes the bowl of popcorn from Carla.'')

'''Carla:''' (''giggling'') Oh my god. That was a little rough, wasn't it Jonas?

(''Jonas offers Toby some popcorn.'')

'''Carla:''' Toby! Toby!

'''Toby:''' Carla, please.

'''Carla:''' Do you really think he's a mute?

'''Toby:''' No, will you be quiet?

'''Carla:''' Jonas! He really is a mute.

(''Cuts to Toby and Carla in a car, following Jonas as he runs. They try to get Jonas to come into the car with them by honking, but Jonas ignores them.'')

'''Toby:''' See, babe, he's annoyed. You happy? This is annoying.

(''He stops driving after Jonas. Cuts to Carla as she frantically searches Jonas's house for Jonas.'')

'''Carla:''' Toby! Toby! Did you find him? TOBY!?

(''Toby enters through the back door.'')

'''Toby:''' Is he upstairs?

'''Carla:''' No, did you look outside?

'''Toby:''' Yes, he's not out there.

'''Carla:''' You sure?

'''Toby:''' Yes!

'''Carla:''' Well...

'''Toby:''' He's gone!

==Notes==
*This video takes place by the [[water theme|water]].
*Jonas is shirtless in this video. The bandage from his [[Lonelygirl15 Season Finale 9 of 12 – 4 pm|stab wound]] is clearly visible on his abdomen. It is doubtful that anyone could actually be well enough two days after being stabbed to go swimming and jogging.
*It is unknown whether or not Toby and Carla are connected to the Order or the Hymn of One. While one might argue that nearly everybody at the [[Uncle Dan|fashionista party]] was "suspicious", [[Nikki Bower]] did tell us that [[Following the Drugs - NBR Investigates|nobody from the Order was watching the lonelygirl15 videos]]. This leads to the question of how Tony and Carla would have known of [[Lonelygirl15 Season Finale 10 of 12 – 5 pm|Bree's death]] if they were members. It is always possible that they were at high enough ranks that they were told about [[the Ceremony (ritual)|the Ceremony's]] completion from the Order itself, as the Order was obviously present at the Ceremony.
*If, in fact, Toby and Carla are members of the Order, one might question why the Order was sending them there in the first place. Now that they have Bree, it is clear that they no longer desire [[TAAG]], evidenced by their allowance of Jonas and Daniel to remain in the hallway sobbing after Bree's death and subsequently escape safely. Perhaps Toby and Carla are not members of the Order at all.
*It is also unclear how Toby and Carla were able to post this video to Jonas' account, as Jonas left before the final scene was filmed, and did not speak to them once, meaning he could not have given them the password. The only plausible, however unlikely explanation, is that Jonas' YouTube account was already opened and logged into on his computer when Toby and Carla found it. Another explanation is that his browser automatically logs him in / remembers his password.

Jonas

}}
'''Jonas''' a.k.a. '''jonastko''' is a [[Revver]]/[[YouTube]] user who started leaving video comments on [[Bree]]'s videos and eventually became friends with Bree and [[Daniel]]. Most of his videos take place in what he says is his father's study.

Jonas's first videos were uploaded from [[Jonas's house|his house]]. He lived there alone because his [[Jonas's parents|parents]] were [[Happy Thanksgiving|lost at sea]] when he was thirteen years old. He seems to have inherited their house, a cabin in the mountains, and a large sum of money.

==Adventures with Bree and Daniel==
Jonas offered Bree and Daniel help in the form of [[Trust Issues|shelter and financial support]]. [[Bree]] and [[Daniel]] were wary of going to live with a stranger that they met over the internet, but Jonas insisted. He gave them a [[The Anti-Cribs|virtual tour]] of his house and suggested that they test him so he could prove that he was trustworthy. Daniel took his suggestions and [[The Test|asked fans to vote]] on what they thought they should do. Fans chose to trust Jonas, but [[Your Decision|Daniel refused to go]], leaving Bree alone with Jonas. He eventually came to live with them at [[Christmas Surprise|Christmas time]].

Jonas eventually gained Bree and Daniel's trust and friendship when he came through for Daniel when [[Bree's Gone|Bree ran away]], and when he helped them escape when [[45 Seconds|Bree's father died]]. Jonas also participated in [[Valentine's Day Massacre|Daniel's rescue]] and got to meet [[Tachyon]] and [[Brother]]. However, this trust was temporarily shattered when Bree suspected him of [[How Dumb Am I?|being in the Order]] and [[Interrogation 101|held him hostage]]. Jonas managed to [[Proving Bree Wrong|prove himself not guilty]] in the eyes of Bree and Daniel by showing them a document written by his father that seemed to prove [[Jonas' parents|his parents]] were against [[the Order]].

Jonas didn't forgive Bree for holding him hostage right away but stuck with her and Daniel. He brought Bree and Daniel to his [[On The Road Again|Aunt Alex's house]], who was away on business at the time. Jonas tried breaking into his Aunt's office to see if there was more info about his parents and their involvement with the Order, but ended up [[Flesh Wound|cutting his hand in the process]]. After a trip to a local veterinarian to get fixed, Jonas found a [[My Hand Hurts|folder]] containing names of people who were also against the Order who have disappeared. Jonas and Daniel were invited by [[Alex]] to a [[Uncle Dan|fashion party]]. Daniel and Alex appeared to be very interested in each other, much to Jonas' dismay. At this party, we also met Jonas' cousin [[Toby]] whom Jonas hasn't seen since his [[Jonas' parents|parents]] funeral. Bree posted a [[Lucy!?!?!|video]] saying there was a photo at the party which she thought was Alex and [[Lucy]] and warned the guys to leave Alex's home and meet up with her.

==The Truth About His Family==
Jonas so far has four family members who have been in the series. His parents were in a [[On The Road Again|movement against the Order]]. His [[Alex|aunt]], however, [[Alex Is...|belongs to the Order]]. He also has a cousin, [[Toby]], whose alignment has not been confirmed, but since he is a friend of his aunt, he might be a member as well.

==Jonas's life==
Although an amount of money is never given, Jonas owns a large house, a cabin, at least two vehicles, and appears to have been paying all of Bree's and Daniel's bills for several months. Jonas has also mentioned that he does not work and has no intention to. Prior to turning 18, he had a full-time nanny and attended a lot of psychotherapy. To support this lifestyle indefinitely, Jonas must have inherited at least several million dollars.

Jonas says that he has been too quick to trust people in the past. He has been taken advantage of for his money and mentions that once he stopped throwing giant parties, a lot of his friends stopped calling him.

Many fans have observed that Jonas is something of a lonelyboy. While Bree turned to books and stuffed animals, Jonas has turned to pop-culture and sports. Jonas makes constant references to movies and TV shows, often very obscure ones, and also enjoys extreme sports, boxing and foosball.

Many have also speculated that Jonas is gay. This arose both from his friendship with Daniel, and his lack of interest in Bree. Although, in "[[Uncle Dan]]," Jonas is apparently interested in a girl named [[Carla]] who comes on to him very strongly. This is evidenced by his giddy reaction to the camera after she gives him a little kiss. He also [[Uncle Dan (D-Bone Remix)|rejects the advances]] of another man at the party, [[Damien]]. Recently, he and Bree have been [[Relationships#Bree_and_Jonas|getting very close]].

==Fan Activity==
Fans remained largely suspicious of Jonas's motives in offering such generous support to Bree and Daniel. Fans noted that Jonas initially only extended support to Bree, rather than to both Bree and Daniel. Moreover, because he simultaneously became a member and posted his first video and showed interest in Bree when she was on the run from [[the Order]], fans were suspicious that he may be connected with the Order. He is indeed connected to the Order through his family, which is divided into supporters and detractors of the Order. How much Jonas actually knows about the Order and its counter movements is unknown, but it seems to be very little.

Since the inclusion of Jonas as a regular, his popularity has slowly grown. In May 2007 a fan club was started in his honor. It is called the [[Jonas_Fan_Club | Secret Society of Jonas Fans]] because of the indication that Jonas is shy around accolades. Its members are required to type "Shhhh!!!" in their comments when in the IC section.

==Etymology of ''Jonas''==
There are two possible derivations of the name Jonas:

*Jonas is the Latin derivation of the Greek form (Ionas) of the Hebrew name Jonah (dove). It is widely presumed that Jonas' name is a reference to the [[Bible|Biblical]] Jonah, who was swallowed by a fish, because this would tie in to the story of his lost parents. For further discussion, also see the LGPedia article, [[Water theme]]. Jonas is most widely used as a male name in German and Scandinavian cultures.

*Many fans who distrust Jonas have suggested that [[the Creators]] chose Jonas as a name because it sounds like Judas, the apostle who betrayed Jesus.

*Alternatively, Jonas is the Lithuanian variant of the English name ''John''. John is derived from the Hebrew Johanas, which means "God is great," and which is the name of Biblical characters John the Baptist, John the Apostle, and John the Evangelist.

*On YouTube and Revver, Jonas uses the name jonastko. The name is a reference to Jonas' boxing hobby. The letters T.K.O. are used in boxing as an abbreviation for "Technical Knock-Out."

*According to the video [[On The Road Again]], Jonas' last name could very well begin with a "W," due to the fact that his father used his initials to write, ''The Order in the Modern Empire''.

*As a result, Jonas is the first character in the series whose last name is at least partially known, thanks to the document with his dad's initials.

Although an amount of money is never given, Jonas owns a large house, a cabin, at least two vehicles, and appears to have been paying all of Bree's and Daniel's bills for several months. Jonas has also mentioned that he does not work and has no intention to. Prior to turning 18, he had a full-time nanny and attended a lot of psychotherapy. To support this lifestyle indefinitely, Jonas must have inherited at least several million dollars.

Jonas says that he has been too quick to trust people in the past. He has been taken advantage of for his money and mentions that once he stopped throwing giant parties, a lot of his friends stopped calling him.

Many fans have observed that Jonas is something of a lonelyboy. While Bree turned to books and stuffed animals, Jonas has turned to pop-culture and sports. Jonas makes constant references to movies and TV shows, often very obscure ones, and also enjoys extreme sports, boxing and foosball.

Many have also speculated that Jonas is gay. This arose both from his friendship with Daniel, and his lack of interest in Bree. Although, in "[[Uncle Dan]]," Jonas is apparently interested in a girl named [[Carla]] who comes on to him very strongly. This is evidenced by his giddy reaction to the camera after she gives him a little kiss. He also [[Uncle Dan (D-Bone Remix)|rejects the advances]] of another man at the party, [[Damien]]. Recently, he and Bree have been [[Relationships#Bree_and_Jonas|getting very close]].

==Fan Activity==
Fans remained largely suspicious of Jonas's motives in offering such generous support to Bree and Daniel. Fans noted that Jonas initially only extended support to Bree, rather than to both Bree and Daniel. Moreover, because he simultaneously became a member and posted his first video and showed interest in Bree when she was on the run from [[the Order]], fans were suspicious that he may be connected with the Order. He is indeed connected to the Order through his family, which is divided into supporters and detractors of the Order. How much Jonas actually knows about the Order and its counter movements is unknown, but it seems to be very little.

Since the inclusion of Jonas as a regular, his popularity has slowly grown. In May 2007 a fan club was started in his honor. It is called the [[Jonas_Fan_Club | Secret Society of Jonas Fans]] because of the indication that Jonas is shy around accolades. Its members are required to type "Shhhh!!!" in their comments when in the IC section.

==Etymology of ''Jonas''==
There are two possible derivations of the name Jonas:

*Jonas is the Latin derivation of the Greek form (Ionas) of the Hebrew name Jonah (dove). It is widely presumed that Jonas's name is a reference to the [[Bible|Biblical]] Jonah, who was swallowed by a fish, because this would tie in to the story of his lost parents. For further discussion, also see the LGPedia article, [[Water theme]]. Jonas is most widely used as a male name in German and Scandinavian cultures.

*Many fans who distrust Jonas have suggested that [[the Creators]] chose Jonas as a name because it sounds like Judas, the apostle who betrayed Jesus.

*Alternatively, Jonas is the Lithuanian variant of the English name ''John''. John is derived from the Hebrew Johanas, which means "God is great," and which is the name of Biblical characters John the Baptist, John the Apostle, and John the Evangelist.

*On YouTube and Revver, Jonas uses the name jonastko. The name is a reference to Jonas's boxing hobby. The letters T.K.O. are used in boxing as an abbreviation for "Technical Knock-Out."

*According to the video [[On The Road Again]], Jonas's last name could very well begin with a "W," due to the fact that his father used his initials to write, ''The Order in the Modern Empire''.

*As a result, Jonas is the first character in the series whose last name is at least partially known, thanks to the document with his dad's initials.

'''Daniel''' a.k.a. '''Danielbeast''' or '''Beast''' is [[Bree]]'s best friend, (on and off) love interest, and the co-star of the Lonelygirl15 [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video series]].
His first videos were initially made in [[Daniel's bedroom|his bedroom]].

==Plot Background==
Daniel graduated from high school in June 2006 and had a graduation party which Bree was not allowed to attend. When summer began, he taught Bree how to make video blogs and was the one who set up her YouTube account. As the summer progressed, Daniel urged Bree to rebel against her strict parents and was concerned about her religion and the ceremony she was supposed to partake in later that year.

Like many fans, Daniel began to investigate Bree's religion and even decided to follow her around and record her actions, even after Bree had asked him [[My Helper|not to do so.]] On both these occasions [[Lucy]] took Bree somewhere; once to a nearby park for what appeared to be a practice session for the upcoming ceremony and then a trip to a medical complex.

Daniel later broke into Lucy's apartment. He found on her computer pictures of himself. He became worried and posted a video on the subject. His worries had finally been reflected onto Bree, causing her to question her [[Hymn of One|religion]].

When her parents disappeared with the local Deacons, Bree went [[On The Run|on the run]] with Daniel. As a result, Daniel dropped out of school at a junior college, where he was taking film classes, and he left his job at [[Gas 'n Eats]] to accompany Bree.

For the next few months they lived out of Daniel's car, several motels, and even off the streets before coming to [[Jonas']] aid in the winter of 2006. While Bree chose to go to Jonas, Daniel chose to go home before ultimately changing his mind and joining Bree and Jonas at [[Christmas Surprise|Christmas]].

In January 2007, Daniel was kidnapped by the Order. The Order used a drugged Daniel in the video [[Miss Me?]], to convince Bree to do the ceremony. Bree and Jonas successfully rescued Daniel and ultimately [[The Human Ransom|foiled the Order's plans]] with the help of [[Tachyon]] and [[Brother]].

After being rescued, Daniel traveled with Jonas and Bree through California, Las Vegas, Mexico, and Texas. Throughout their traveling, Daniel had a tendency to become [[inebriated]] (as noted in [[Uncle Dan]], [[Vegas, Baby!]], [[Spring Break Sucks]], and [[Intervention]]). Before arriving in Texas however, Daniel claimed he was [[Quitting The Sauce|sober once more]] (Daniel's previous [[Drinking Problems|period of sobriety]] followed his rescue from the Order).

He continues to travel with Jonas and Bree.

==Relationships==
Beginning with [[Boy Problems...]], Daniel's potential romance with Bree has been on and off. Over the course of the series, Daniel's relationship with her has come as close as [[Bree And I Hooked Up|"hooking up"]] and as far as Bree asking Daniel to stop following her.

Daniel is much more social than Bree, having been known to go to parties, which he had coerced Bree into sneaking out to go to. Two of his other friends have been named, [[Paul]] and [[Andrea]].

Since Bree has rejected many of Daniel's advances, Daniel began to show a [[relationships#Daniel and Alex|romantic interest]] in Jonas's Aunt [[Alex]]. This ended soon after it was revealed that she was still involved with the Order.

Recently, in response to the somewhat aggressive advances of [[Sarah]], Daniel is seen seemingly enjoying the attention and flirting, possibly hinting at a growing mutual affection.

As for Daniel's family, his parents don't have much influence on him, due at least in part to a history of [[inebriated|alcoholism]], to which Daniel seems to have inherited. His parents' alcoholism also meant that Daniel spent more time with his [[Comfort Food|grandmother]], which he did until she died.

==Notes==
*Daniel apparently has two cameras. One is a webcam that shoots videos in the standard 4:3 format. The other is a mini-DV handheld that shoots videos in the 16:9 letterbox format. We have seen the webcam in a mirror in the video "What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?" and Jonas mentions receiving a tape from Daniel via Bree in the video "Your Decision." Interestingly, Jonas also appears to own both a 4:3 tethered webcam and a 16:9 handheld videocam.

*One of Daniel's better skills is breaking and entering. He has shown this questionable talent when breaking into Lucy's apartment, into a local warehouse, into Alex's Mexican condo, and recently at a Texan hospital. His response, [[Lying Bastards|"It's all I know how to do really, I guess."]]

===Etymology===
Daniel is a Biblical name from Hebrew (דניאל) meaning "God is my judge." This is the name of the prophet whose story is told in the [[Bible|Book of Daniel]]. One of the stories tells how the prophet Daniel saw visions of supernatural "beasts". These comparisons have been drawn by LG15 fans because Daniel's username on YouTube/Revver, as well as his nickname in the videos is 'Danielbeast'.
