Hello readers and readresses! Here's the newest callobration from Batmarcus and I which you may or may not recognise from my profile but with the original version of his OC Adam Garcia-Shapiro which you may or may not recognize either from the New Kid series, most of Marcus' PnF stories, and Don't Blink if you like the Hunger Games. Start the story!


There was a small knock at the Flynn-Fletcher home, Linda went to check answer and their stood a shy little girl about seven years old, she wore a pink dress and had long jet black hair pulled up in a high ponytail. "Um… hello, my name's Isabella, I just moved in across the street." She said in a voice that was barely audible not looking up from her pink sneakers.

"Hello, I'm Linda Flynn-Fletcher." She said.

"It's nice to meet you." Isabella said weakly, twiddling her feet still not looking up.

"Well it's nice to meet you, what's wrong?" Linda asked.

"I'm… just a little shy is all." Isabella said honestly.

"Oh, well there is no reason to be you seem like a very sweet girl," Linda said gently.

"Well, thanks, I guess." Isabella said kind of awkwardly.

"Why so nervous?" Linda asked.

"I'm not sure… guess it's just who I am." Isabella said quietly still looking away.

"Well maybe you just need to get to know people," Linda said smiling.

Isabella looked up slightly. "Well, I guess you're right."

"Would you like to meet my sons?" She asked.

"Um… sure… how old are they?" Isabella asked having not even known she had sons.

"About your age," Linda said.

"Alright, sure. I'd love to meet them." Isabella said but still sounded nervous.

"Come on sweety I'm sure after you get to know them you'll love them, so do you have any siblings?" Linda asked.

Isabella shook her head not knowing of Adam yet. "Just me and my mom, dad left when I was a baby."

"Sorry to hear that," Linda said.

"It's okay, I wasn't really old enough to miss him." Isabella said with a shrug.

"Still,"Linda said sadly.

"It's okay, really." Isabella said honestly.

"Alright then" Linda said not wanting to push it.

She lead her over to the kitchen where the boys were. "Phineas, Ferb, this is Isabella, she's our new neighbor."

She saw a boy with a rectangle shaped head and green hair and another with a triangle shaped head, and red hair.

"Um… hi." Isabella said awkwardly.

"Hello!" The red head said smiling while the green haired boy just nodded at her.

"So… your names are Phineas and Ferb?" Isabella asked from what Linda said.

"Yeah, I'm Phineas and that's Ferb he does not talk much," The red haired boy said.

"Well… it's nice to meet you guys." Isabella said quietly.

"Nice to meet you, you know you're pretty cute," Phineas said.

"Thank you, I seem to get that a lot." Isabella said softly looking down instead of up at him.

"Well it's true," Phineas said.

Isabella thought about it. "I don't think so."

"Why not?" Phineas asked

She shrugged, "I'm not anything special."

"I beg to differ," Phineas said.

"Well, I guess."

"So, are you new to Danville?" Phineas asked.

Isabella nodded. "Just moved in today."

"Where did you live before?" Ferb asked speaking for the first time.

"D.C." She answered.

"Wow, that must have been interesting," Phineas said having not taken his eyes off Isabella.

"Well, I guess." Isabella said still not looking up.

"Are you okay?" Ferb asked gently.

"Yeah, I'm just a little shy." Isabella admitted.

"Well then maybe you just need to loosen up come play tag with us," Ferb said.

Isabella looked up with a small smile. "Well, okay. That sounds fun."

"Alright then, Phineas is it," Ferb said and he and Isabella both ran in opposite directions.

"Hey! No fair!" Phineas said running after them. Isabella didn't even notice that he was primarily chasing her.


After a few hours they were all thirsty. "I could get some lemonade." Phineas offered noticing this.

"That would be nice," Isabella said.

"Alright, stay right here." Phineas said heading to the kitchen.

He went in and carefully mixed the lemonade. However, he put in some unusual ingredients. "This will get her to like me," He said. He was of course careful to keep it only in Isabella's glass and labled it with a pink straw with his and Ferb's had white one's. Otherwise, they looked, smelled, and tasted the same.

"Here you go," Phineas said

Isabella was really thirty so she downed it in almost one gulp. The effects were almost immediate as her eyes locked on him.

"So Phineas what do you want to do now?" She asked through her eyelids.

Phineas smiled knowing it worked. "Whatever you want Isabella."

"I just want to hang out," Isabella said.

"That's perfect then." Phineas said with a smile.


A few hours later, Isabella had just headed home promising to return tomorrow. "Alright, what did you put in her drink?" Ferb asked his step-brother knowingly.

"What do you mean?" Phineas asked.

"Don't play dumb, she down that lemonade you gave her and she was suddenly all over you. What was in it?"

"Nothing," Phineas said. Ferb folded his arms not buying it for one second. "Really,"

"Phineas, look me in the eye and tell me that you didn't put anything in her drink."

"I did not put anything into it," Phineas shrugged not looking at Ferb.

"Then look me in the eye and say that." Ferb said seriously.

"I did not put anything in her drink," Phineas said looking at Ferb.

"You're lying." Ferb said dangerously. "Tell me the truth or I'll tell mom that you spiked the new girl's drink.

"She would never believe you," Phineas said.

"We'll see about that." Ferb said starting to head off.

"Okay, so yeah a spiked the lemonade," Phineas said.

Ferb turned around and glared at him. "What. Exactly. Did you. Put. In. It?"

"Just a sort of love potion..." Phineas shrugged.

"What kind of monster even does that?" Ferb asked in complete disapproval.

"It was just a little," Phineas said.

"You can't just force someone to like you, Phineas." Ferb said with a hard glare.

"Why not? No one is getting hurt," Phineas asked.

"That's not love, Phineas. It isn't a crush and it isn't even lust. Its manipulative and cruel and inhuman."

"How?" Phineas asked.

"You're playing with the poor girl's emotions, making her feel things she doesn't. How would you feel if some girl made you have a crush on her against your will?"

"Well maybe you are right," Phineas said.

"Please tell me you have some kind of antidote you could give her?" Ferb asked hopefully.

"Not exactly," Phineas said.


Seven years later Isabella still in fake love with Phineas was getting ready for another summer day. Isabella sat up with a happy sigh before getting dressed and bounding down the stairs. As she got down the stairs the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" She called after her mom before answering the door. She found a boy with black hair and blue eyes like hers standing there dressed in black jeans a red shirt and a black leather jacket and shoes. "Oh, hello!" Isabella said smiling widely at the stranger. "Who might you be?"

"Is this the Garcia-Shapiro residence?" He asked.

Isabella nodded, "That's right."

"I'm Adam...Garcia-Shapiro."

Isabella's eyes widened. "Oh… um… what? Are you being serious right now?"

"I am being very serious right now," Adam said.

Isabella was at a loss. "So, you're um…?"

"Your brother, I think," He said awkwardly

"Oh wow. Well, it's nice to meet you then." Isabella said putting a hand out to him.

"Nice to meet you too, just wish I had more good news," Adam said.

"Something wrong?" Isabella asked as a surprise Vivian came down stairs.

"Isa who is..." Vivian started ti ask, but froze when she saw Adam.

Isabella looked back at her… their… mom. "This is Adam; he says he's my brother."

"Well he is your fraternal twin actually," Vivian said.

"That's so cool! How come I was never told about him before?" Isabella asked.

"Your father and I decided that it was better for you both ti not know until yiu were older because if the split up," Vivian said.

"Oh." Isabella said then turned to Adam worried. "What happened then? Not that it isn't cool to meet you but why are you here now?"

"Well I sort of have nowhere to go now," Adam said.

"Why not?" Isabella asked growing increasingly worried as she let him in.

"Dad was killed in a drunk driving accident about two weeks ago, guy driving a truck was drunk ran a red light slammed into dads car going 50 mph," Adam said.

Isabella looked down thinking about how she never even got to really meet him that she was old enough to possibly remember. "That's terrible."

"Needless to say it was hard, but after his will reading I was told I would be sent here, and I have something for each of you," Adam said.

He dug into his laptop case, his ONLY piece of luggage, and produced two letters handing them to the person their addressed to.

"These are for each of you, I am not supposed to ask what they say, just hand them over all I know is what else is in each one," Adam said.

They both took their letters and Isabella noticed that hers was a little bit heavier. They both opened them. Inside Isabella found a small golden locket with sapphires in the gold and a letter. Inside hers Vivian found her old wedding ring gold with two rows of diamonds on it.

Vivian opened the letter part while Isabella still looked at the locket:

Dear Vivian,

First of all let me start by saying what you probably already know the young man delivering this to you is your son. Second if you are in fact getting this letter I have died how I do not know but that is the truth. I have instructed my lawyer to give this to Adam to give to you in the event of my death or disappearance. Now before going on I must say that I have never stopped thinking about you and Isabella since I last saw you both and although I may not have been the best companion I do love you both dearly. Now as you know since I have died you are Adams legal guardian as we established before going our separate ways which means that what he does from here on is entirely up to you if you do not want him with you he can always go to live with my brother Charlie in North Carolina, I know he will understand but I do not think you will say no I have been wrong before though. It is my dearest hope that he and Isabella can be real brother and sister. It may be too late but I hope that they will both forgive us in time. Again I would like to say that I still do and always have loved you and Isabella and wish we could have had some time together. Hopefully you are willing to take Adam in if not simply give Charlie a call he still has the same number.

Yours forever,

Sergio Garcia Shapiro

Vivian looked away crying. Isabella noticed this and hesitantly opened her own:

To my dearest daughter Isabella,

First of all let me tell you what you probably already know if you're reading this letter my name is Sergio Garcia Shapiro and I am your father. Now as I am sure Adam and Vivian have already told you your mother and I decided to get a divorce not long after you two were born. We each took one of you and went our separate ways.

I would first like to say how very sorry I am that I was never a part of your life and now since you are reading this letter I will never have the chance. I want you to know that I really do love you and your mother with all my heart but we had been fighting a lot and your mother and I agreed it was the best, for both of you if we simply went our separate ways.

Inside this envelope there should be a small silver locket. It used to belong to your grandmother and her grandmother before that it is given to the oldest female of the children and grandchildren which in this case because of the divorce means that this is now yours take good care of, it has been in our family for the last sixty years. Again never forget that I always loved you and your mother.

Love,

Your father,

Sergio Garcia Shapiro

Isabella did not know what to think as she starred at the letter Adam just stood back kind of awkwardly letting them sort their emotions out.

"So this is what he left us? What did he leave you?" She asked

"981 dollars, my own letter, and obviously a mother and sister I'd never met that I could possibly remember. Otherwise, I only have what's in this bag." Adam explained. "Which is my laptop, phone, iPod, chargers for each and a pair of pajama pants."

""That's it?" Vivian asked shocked.

Adam nodded. "And obviously what I'm wearing right now but I don't have any other bags or anything."

"Why not?" Isabella asked.

"We didn't have a suitcase big enough to take all of my old stuff." Adam said awkwardly.

"Okay, but do you want to stay?" Vivian asked.

Adam nodded, "If it isn't too much of a bother."

"So, can he stay?" Isabella asked excitedly.

Vivian smiled at her children. "Of course he can. He can have what was the guest bedroom and make it his own."

"Thank you!" They said hugging her.

"You're welcome, it's great to have you Adam." Vivian said then turned to Isabella and offered. "In the meantime, maybe you could introduce him to Phineas and Ferb."

"Oh yeah!" Isabella said excitedly.

Isabella lead him out. "You'll like them, their REALLY close friends of mine, but one of them…" she trailed blushing the posions still hitting as hard if not harder as it first did.

"You have a crush?" Adam guessed.

Isabella nodded never realizing where it really came from. "Phineas, I got it real hard but he never seems to notice."

"That must be rough," Adam said sympathetically.

"It is, I just keep trying so hard but it's pretty much hopeless." Isabella said looking down sadly.

"I'm sorry," Adam said.

Isabella gulped and changed the subject. "Let's just go."

"Okay, sorry," Adam said surprised by her sudden defensiveness.

"It's okay." Isabella said before leading him across the street. She took a deep breath and pushed the gate open. "Hey Phineas, whatcha doin'?" Isabella said the same way as always as she came into the yard.

"Oh hey Isabella we are just building a new water park it is really hot. Who's your friend?" Phineas asked

Isabella turned to Adam who was just staring in disbelief. "His name is Adam, he just showed up this morning and is apparently my twin brother."

"You have a twin?" Ferb said shocked.

"Apparently, it was certainly news to me till he showed up on my doorstep." Isabella said awkwardly not taking her eyes off of Phineas.

"Oh, well nice to meet you," Phineas said.

Adam snapped back into semi-reality. "It's nice to meet you, too."

"So, you two are siblings?" Phineas asked.

"Yeah, I was living over in Miami with my dad not knowing that I had a twin sister either." Adam answered.

"This must have been awkward fr you all," Phineas said.

Isabella nodded, "It was, but then it got cool."

"It did?" Phineas asked.

Isabella nodded vigorously, "Of course, I have a cool new brother and he gets to stay."

"That is pretty cool," Phineas said.

He turned to Adam. "Wanna help with our project?"

"Sure, I guess," Adam said.

"So, what can we do to help?" Isabella asked rocking on her heels.

"Well you can help me with the slides," Phineas said.

"Alright!" Isabella said going over.

"Is my sister always like that?" Adam whispered to Ferb.

"Usually, but it's not her fault." Ferb whispered.

"It's not?" Adam asked confused.

Ferb gulped, and told him about the day they met Isabella and what happened. "I've been trying to find a way to reverse the effects but nothing works."

"I do not know which makes me more angry," Adam said. "That he drugged my sister or that he did it without an antidote!" That, needless to say, gathered some unwanted attention. "Sorry," Adam said.

They turned away and Ferb whispered, "Well what, besides kill Phineas, can we do about it? This has been going on for seven years and she doesn't even know that it happened.

"Wait does he feel bad about it?" Adam asked.

"Well, yeah, after a while of trying to convince him that what he did is wrong, that's why he's pretending not to notice but really all that's doing right now is killing her emotionally thanks to that stupid potion." Ferb whispered.

"So then what do we do?" Adam asked.

Ferb sighed hopelessly. "I have no idea."

"Great," Adam muttered

"There must be something though. She can't just stay like this for the rest of her life." Ferb said.

"I know, but I'm thirsty," Adam said.

"I could get you a soda." Ferb offered.

"Thanks, I'll come in with you," Adam said.

They headed inside to the kitchen. "Do you have cream soda?" Adam asked.

"Yeah." Ferb said getting one from the fridge.

"Awesome thanks, I'll take one to Isabella," Adam said.

Ferb gave him two and got one for himself.

They walked back out to the yard, "Here Isa," Adam said tossing her the soda.

Despite being distracted with Phineas and the work, Isabella caught the soda, "Thanks, Bro." She opened it and downed the contents as fast as she did the potion. She seemed to freeze for a second then literally dropped what she was doing and stormed off without another word. No one was sure what to think of the reaction.

"Well that was dramatic, I'll go talk to her," Adam said. He left the yard to go look for her.


He found her after half an hour in her room. "Isabella, are you okay?" He asked.

She was lying face down and turned over to her side so she was facing the wall on the opposite side of Adam. She mumbled something so soft that though he knew she said something, he did know what.

"Could you say that a little louder?" He asked sitting on the edge of her bed.

"Go away." She said just a little bit louder but this time he heard it.

"Isabella, please tell me what's wrong?" Adam said not moving.

Isabella scotched away from him. "I said go away."

"I am your brother I'm not going anywhere," Adam said.

"I just want to be alone." Isabella barely whispered. "I tried making friends and look what happened."

"Isabella one bad person in a group does not mean they all are, you made plenty of friends inspite of what happened right?" Adam asked patting her back.

She seemed to shrivel at the touch. "What kind of person even does that?"

"The kind who is going to be beaten up by your new brother as soon as I cheer you up," Adam said standing and beginning to take down all pictures of Phineas.

Isabella sat up slowly and watched him take down the pictures. "You'd do that for me?"

"Isabella, you are my sister I would do anything for you short of destroying the universe...unless I had to," Adam said ripping up the pictures of Phineas.

A tiny smile made its way onto her lips as she slowly got up and gave him a hug. "Thanks, Bro."

"It's my pleasure," Adam said.

"Really though, I don't know what I'd've done if this happened before you came." Isabella said ripping a picture up herself.

"Well now we don't have to worry about that," Adam said smiling.

"And that definately helps make everything better. Though, I can't help but wonder what suddenly changed." Isabella whispered thoughtfully.

"Maybe it was the soda?" Adam offered.

"It was in a sealed can though. So, it was just a regular cream soda?"

"Pretty much yeah," Adam said.

Isabella chuckled slightly at that, "So, it was that easy this whole time?"

"I guess it was," Adam said.

Isabella set back down on the bed. "Then what now?"

"You move on, it's best for you," Adam said as the doorbell rang. Isabella looked out the window to see all her Fireside girl Troop at the door looking worried

She wasn't sure what but for some reason, she got this realy weird feeling. "I should probably get that." She said before heading out of her room and to the door.

Awesome, I know. Review and as always feel free to flame, I'm immune. You'll want to later so I'll go back to my old catchphrase then.
