Chapter 1
Phineas, Ferb, Linda, Lawrence, and Candace sat at the kitchen table eating the delicious tacos Linda had made. Eating heartily they almost missed the phone ringing but Linda was able to jump up and catch it before it stopped.
"Hello Viv.."
"No I think she lef.."
"I'll ask. Phineas!" Phineas was up and next to his Mother with the normal smile on his face
"What's up?"
"Isabella left right?" She asked already fairly sure of the answer
"Yea. She said she was gonna bike over to the Googolplex Mall to meet up with her mother."
"She left to go see you" A short pause while Vivian talked "When did she leave?" Phineas took a quick glance at the wall clock.
"An hour and a half ago." He said it just loud enough so that Mrs. Garcia-Shapiro could hear him. "Whats wrong?" He asked his mother but was ultimately ignored.
"Did you get that?"
"Yes of course we'll call."
"Good bye." Linda put down the phone looking a little shaken.
"What happened?" Phineas asked slightly more urgently this time.
"Isabella never made it to the mall." Phineas was already at the door putting his shoes on with Ferb following his lead as usual. "What do you two think you're doing?"
"We're gonna go search for Isabella." Phineas said, with the determination that could only come for knowing what he was gonna do today.
"But there could be dangerous people. And besides I'm sure she's fine."
"If she's fine then there won't be dangerous people. And between me and Ferb I think we'll be fine." Ferb flexed behind Phineas. "Just call us after you call Mrs. Garcia-Shapiro if you hear anything. We'll try not to be out late." With that Phineas went out the door to avoid farther argument from his mother. Phineas was planning on staying out until he found Isabella. He just wasn't planning on that taking too long.
"Phineas."
"What... Is... It?" Phineas asked his brother panting slightly. Despite growing more and more tired as he searched his speed had been increasing and was now full as he was frantically searching now.
"We'll have to pick it up tomorrow." Phineas looked at his brother to argue but the second he saw his face he knew Ferb was right.
"Fine but I'm gonna keep an eye out the whole way back" Ferb smiled. He knew as much. He looked at his watch and motioned for Phineas to do the same. "Well it looks like it's tomorrow; time to pick it up." Ferb frowned at him. "I'm kidding; hopefully she will show up before we have to decide what to do in the morning." Ferb nodded. He didn't think Isabella would just 'show up' but he knew even Phineas with his undying optimism didn't think she would either.
