Father's day

It's that dreaded holiday. That holiday that she hated so much. That's right, father's day. It had just so happened to be this very holiday that Isabella's very own father had decided to pack up his things and leave for good. Sure he still called to wish Isabella happy birthday but other than that it was like he wasn't there. It's like he had never existed.

Isabella yawned loudly as she forced herself from her bed and towards the Flynn-Fletcher backyard to see what Phineas and Ferb were planning today.

"Hi Phineas, whatchya doin?"

He smiled sweetly at her, minding her sad mood "nothing right now Isabella. Wanna come inside and have some lemonade?" Isabella smiled "I would love some."

The three went inside and sat in front of the TV sipping their beverage.

Lawrence walked into the room whistling a small tune "hello boys! Isabella! Lovely day isn't it?" The two boys nodded, Isabella stayed silent. Smiling at his boys Lawrence walked out of the room whistling again. Isabella sighed, Phineas hated seeing his best friend so sad on such a special day.

"That's it! Isabella I know what we're gonna do today!"

Ferb blinked in confusion "hey!"

Phineas ignored his brother and focused his attention on the girl before him "I can't stand you being sad Isabella especially today. So you know what we're gonna do?"

She raised an eyebrow "we're gonna do something simple. Something we've never thought of before. We're calling your dad!" He said hopeful that it would work.

She smiled at her crush "why not? A little happy fathers day wouldn't hurt!" She exclaimed smiling wildly "okay lets give it a shot Phineas!"

Isabella took a deep breath before dialing the number, the phone rang once, twice, three times before someone answered.

"Hello?" A woman's voice answered. Thoroughly confused Isabella stuttered out "umm hello? This is Isabella Garcia Shapiro. Who is this?"

"Oh so you're the famous Isabella." The lady said in a not so kind tone. "Listen honey you're dad's to busy to be bothered right now. He's spending father's day with his real family! So go bug someone else!" With that the phone line went dead, and Isabella felt like half of her was too.

When she finally set down the phone she turned around and slapped Phineas across the face "this is all your fault Phineas!"

"What the? What happened!?"

"My dad is spending time with his so called real family. Oh if you just left me alone I wouldn't have heard that mean lady on the phone!"

Phineas turned red with anger "I was just trying to make you happy! You think any of us like it when you're upset!? Believe it or not Isabella we notice when you're sad! You can hide it behind all your badges but you're just a sad grumpy girl that's sad because daddy only calls her on her birthday WELL YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY YOUR DAD EVEN TALKS TO YOU! YOU COULD PICK UP THE PHONE AND TALK TO HIM I CAN'T DO THAT ISABELLA YOU KNOW WHY?! MY DAD'S DEAD! THAT'S RIGHT DEAD! EVERY FATHERS DAY EVERYONE FEELS SORRY FOR YOU THEY FORGET CANDACE AND I LOST OUR DAD!"

Ferb blinked surprised at his brothers out burst, no one had ever told him or his father how exactly Phineas and Candace had lost their father or if the had lost their father. Now that they knew the truth it was just so shocking that it stunned the silent boy into an even scarier silence.

Isabella could feel the hot tears rolling down her cheek's "Phineas. I'm sorry I didn't-" her reached out hand was slapped away "oh leave me alone!"

Phineas turned on his heel and ran up to his room tears pouring down his face.

Isabella fell to her knees sobbing. She lost her dad and now she had hurt her best friend.

What did this holiday have against her?
