Chapter One: As Phineas sat on the swing that was connected only by metal and a tree, he began to think. He thought about why it was Isabella who had to die in a car accident. Why did she have to die? Isabella was his neighbor and one of his best friends. She was only 11; too young to die. Phineas sighed and steadily jumped off the swing. The swing was in the forest near his house. It felt humid but there wasn't really anything to make it feel humid. His parents were at Isabella's funeral but Phin didn't want to go. He didn't really want to see his friend die; he didn't want to see anything die! He lost his father from a car accident. Phineas was only 2 and didn't remember much about the mystery man in his life. As he walked down the quiet and foggy street of Danville, Phineas groaned. Not having Isabella would change everything! The Fireside Girls were already planning a special viewing for their late friend. Baljeet had gone back to India for a couple of months-but he didn't know Isabella had died! Buford, Phineas's other friend, heard about the news but didn't cry. He wasn't even sad-well, no one knew if he was sad. It bothered Phineas about how insecure Buford was. He only cried when his fish went missing, so Phineas and Ferb went on this big hunt for the fish. In the end, they found the fish but Buford kept being mean to them. Phineas stared at his nose and then up at the sky. He sometimes thought the clouds were little shapes of things that had died that day. Once he saw a dog, a bunny, and even a heart. He began to hum to himself as he made it to his drive-way. Phineas's older sister, Candace, was the only one still at the house. She didn't know that her brother didn't go, so Phineas yelled her name when he walked inside. "Candace, I am home." He called. "I never went to the funeral." Candace stomped down the stairs, "Why not, Phin? She was your best friend. Did Ferb go?" Phineas nodded his head. She grabbed her brother's waist and pulled him closer. "Look, I am sorry about Isabella dying. But everyone comes and everyone goes." Phineas got mad. "That isn't how I want it to be! Isabella's Mom can't even see her daughter-she is nearly dead!" Phineas trudged upstairs. He began to cry. When he made it to his room, he slammed himself on his bed. He groaned when he landed on the big dictionary on his bed. He moved it away and began to rub his back. Perry, his pet platypus, wasn't even coming to comfort Phineas. He just sat on Ferb's bed in a little ball. Phineas shook his head and closed his eyes. He soon fell asleep. Phineas landed on the heart cloud. Around him was everyone he had loved but lost; his father, his pet dog and even Isabella. "Dad! Isabella!" Phineas cried and jumped into their arms. Well...tried. He fell onto the ground and grunted. Francis and Isabella gave Phineas wild looks. He had tried to hug angels? What was wrong with that boy. Phineas rubbed his noggin and looked at his loved ones. "Don't look at me like that! You know who I am, right?" Francis and Isabella looked at each other. Isabella's eyebrows drew into an arrow. "Who are you?" Phineas was baffled. He got to his feet and looked at each of his friends. Last time Phineas saw his father, he was in a red shirt and was wearing his glasses. Now his dad was wearing a white robe and he had scars on his face; this scared Phineas. "Dad...you have been gone for 9 years now. But you can't even remember your own son? And Isabella, you only died a week ago! You are being buried right now.'' Francis looked down at his feet while Isabella kept her eyes steady on Phineas. Phineas was mad now. His best friend and father didn't even remember who he was? Phineas kicked the cloud and soon fell into a hole. He screamed as he fell millions of feet down onto Earth. When Phineas woke up from this nightmare, he saw Perry had left the room. Candace ran in, she was out of breath. "Oh Phineas, you were screaming! I thought someone had killed you!" She wrapped her arms around her brother. The two sat like this for hours. The Next Day at school was a little hard for Phineas. He couldn't exactly cope with not seeing Isabella sit 2 desks away from him. Phineas made it to his classroom but someone was in Isabella's seat. She had jet black hair that went to her stomach, a big pink bow and pink dress. She smiled at Phineas as he sat down. "Hi, I am Angel." She spoke.
