~Phineas' POV~
I wake up after a huge dream about Isabella-land, which seems like it had merged with reality. I roll over in my bed and see that Ferb is still asleep. I go downstairs and make myself a bagel. It feels so good to be see my family again after spending 3 days travelling alone with Isabella in Charlotte and New Orleans. I feel a lot better about the world since we found both of our dads. I wish they could have come home, but I know that they have to stay in New Orleans, for now, at least.
As soon as I get to the backyard, Isabella is already there, and she asks me "Whatcha doin?". Her voice is so precious to me. Ever since we officially started dating yesterday, I have felt indescribable joy, and a little stupid for not noticing her feelings sooner. I still can't believe this is the same summer vacation that I built the coolest coaster ever, travelled through time and built giant tree house robots.
I blurt out "I don't have any plans yet. Let's just sit under the tree and wait for Ferb to come down." Isabella and I begin blushing heavily, as I wrap my arms around my girlfriend. Isabella wraps her arms around me, as we lay down beside the tree and snuggle up. The soft summer breeze feels so relaxing.
The thing that wakes us up from this nap 15 minutes later is a phone ringing. Isabella checks and it's Eliza M. Feyersyde. "You're doing WHAT? Are you really removing me from my position as troop leader? But I was trying to find my dad! It's just not fair!" The phone goes silent. Isabella puts it away. She clings to me tightly like she never wants to let go.
"I'm suspended from my position as Troop Leader u-until the school year b-begins." Isabella sobs out. Part of me feels sad about what is happening to her and part of me is mad about how unfair it is for her to lose her position. Maybe the trip to New Orleans also brought us a lot of trouble with friends. I give Isabella a kiss on the cheek in an attempt to calm my girlfriend down.
"You'll be restored to Troop Leader once the school year starts, Isabella. And I'm sure I'll help you rebuild trust with your troop." I reply as I dry her tears. Ferb comes out with Baljeet and Buford open the door. Both seem furious. Buford almost looks like the old Frankenstein's monster stomping across the yard. Baljeet looks even more furious than Buford, he stomps forward with his fists clenched and his eyes glaring.
"PHINEAS! Why didn't you tell me about where you were?! It will be a while before I can forgive you for breaking my heart, Isabella and Phineas. Especially you, Isabella for leaving m-me." Baljeet's voice sounds like a mixture of rage and hopelessness. I didn't know that Baljeet also had a crush on Isabella. I feel kinda bad for him, but it's not like he told anybody about it… and it's not like he has the right to decide that I can't be Isabella's boyfriend. I start to get mad at Baljeet.
"Jeeters! You can't be doin this crud." I grumbled loudly. "Everybody has a right to their own feelings and life. You got a crush on Izzy, fine. She doesn't have to return it to you. She can be with me." I don't even realize how mad I am getting when I make a fist and hold it in front of Baljeet's face.
Buford steps between us, weird that he is being the calm one. "Cool it you two." He barks. We're both surprised and back down. He glares at us and we back away.
He looks towards Baljeet and shakes his head "Phineas is right, dude. Everybody has the right to love who they pick."
"Dinner Bell!" Bufford snarls at me. "You scared me sleepless ever since you went missing." Buford says to me as Isabella and I exchange concerned looks. All of my friendships, and those of my girlfriend, messed up because they believed Mom's lies that Isabella and I were missing.
"Sorry, but there will be no inventing today." I say, as Isabella and I take a break from feeling happiness. I already felt sad at Isabella losing her position as troop leader, but breaking all my friendships is what caused me to want to cry for the first time this summer. I hear Isabella's phone ring. I can't believe nobody tried to comfort us.
The text reads "If you can help me earn the Arcade Master Patch, I'll retain my friendship. I'm stuck at 7 high scores. Yours truly, Milly Andersen" Isabella looks inside her Pocket Fireside Girls Manual, and even when very heartbroken she is so adorable. I wrap my girlfriend in a huge hug.
"The Arcade Master patch is earned by getting a high score in 20 Arcade games. I remember that Milly has a huge private arcade in her basement with various Konami arcade games, as a gift to Milly's family from Konami as thanks for her grandfather's work at the company." Isabella says, while holding on to me with one hand and holding the manual with the other. Mom walks outside, notices the sadness is my eyes, and hugs us both.
"You don't have to be so sad." Linda is the first person to offer Isabella and I support. Why didn't Ferb help us recover from this?
"Can you drop the two of us off at Milly's house?" I ask my mom. I still can't believe she didn't punish me for running away with Isabella.
"Ok. Her house is directly on the way to my cooking class." Mom replies. We get in the car, buckle our seatbelts, and we're preparing to spend the rest of the summer rebuilding broken trust. I sure hope that I can get at least one more invention before the school year starts.
"I forgot to ask. Where's Perry?" I say.
~Perry's POV~
I go looking around the lawn for a secret entrance. The spot where Phineas and Isabella took a cuddly power nap is inches away from the secret tube I used to enter my lair the day Doofenshmirtz tried to flood the Tri-State Area with his B.O.A.T.
I make one last look to make sure Ferb; Baljeet and Buford are looking another direction. I jump into the hidden warp pipe, and within seconds, I am in my lair. Major Monogram appears on the screen and greets me "Good morning Agent P. Doofenshmirtz has been spotted looking for plane tickets to Drusselstein. I don't know what he's up to but I'm sure he's up to no good. Go get him. Monogram out!"
I hop into my rocket jet, and go soaring to Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc. I don't know what could compel Doofenshmirtz into returning to Gimmelsthump, where his way-too-traumatic childhood occurred, but I am going to figure this out.
