Hey! This is the sequel to 'Lake of Romance'. You don't have to read that first to understand this story but I recommend it if you haven't yet. Disclaimer: I do not own PnF

"Morning sleepy head." Vivian sang to her daughter, who came into the kitchen and just plonked herself onto a chair.

"Morning, Mama." Isabella greeted, trying to suppress a yawn.

"I have a surprise for you." Vivian beamed, giving Isabella a glass of apple juice. "Your uncle is coming over for my birthday!" Isabella started chocking on her apple juice.

"R…really? W…when?" The doorbell rang. "I'll get it." Isabella stood up and trudged to the front door, still trying to stop herself from dying on her apple juice. Isabella opened the door and there stood all of her friends and their family, NOT dressed in pyjamas.

"Hey, Isabella." Phineas smiled, pecking her lips.

"Ah! Mi amigos! How are you? You've all grown so much since I've seen you!" Vivian cried.

"Happy birthday, Mrs. Garcia-Shapiro!" everyone outside cheered, showing the presents that they had got her. Vivian gasped and clapped her hands over her mouth.

"Thank you so much chicos and chicas!"

"Yeah, that means a lot to my mama." Isabella thanked, presenting her own present that she had got for her mother.

Vivian hugged her daughter and tried to have a group hug with everyone outside, but failed due to there being to many people. There was a car horn and a tall man exited from the red Cadillac cts.

"We'll take that as our cue to leave." Linda stated. "Have a great birthday, Vivian."

"Must you leave? I would love you guys to meet my brother!"

"Mama, I think they have a lot of important stuff to do today." Isabella mumbled.

"Isabella's right, we're going to visit Candace, Jeremy and baby Tiffany in Flora. We'll be back by seven though, so if you're in we'll pop in." Lawrence stated in his very British accent.

"Bye!" everyone said at the same time.

"Look, hermano. I am raising Isa fine! She's not going to turn out like you." Isabella heard her mum shout from in her room.

"She needs to know self defence and I can teach her! What if her boyfriend starts abusing her? She'll need to protect herself!"

"Isa being abused by good boy Phineas? Not a chance."

Isabella became scared, she heard a lot of crashes before suddenly a loud BANG like from a…. Isabella gasped and raced downstairs, seeing blood and chunks of something pink splattered against the walls, floor and her uncle. "M…mama?" Isabella chocked, seeing her mother lying on the floor-dead. "You MONSTER!" Isabella screamed, rushing over the the phone.

Her uncle growled, grabbing her hair and pulling her back. He grabbed a knife from his pocket and started cutting her face and arms, before simply digging the blade into her shoulder and keeping it there. "Now…" her uncle smirked, finding Isabella's mobile and smashing it into pieces. "go into your room like a good girl and stay there."

Isabella did what she was told, running upstairs and shutting the door as quickly as possible. "That's why she needs to learn to protect herself." She heard her uncle hiss to no one in particular. Isabella smiled slightly. She was glad that he hadn't come into her room. She found her extra mobile phone and dialled 911.

Downstairs, her uncle was busy trying to figure out how to use the gas stove, since he was hungry. No sooner had he turned the gas on did he hear sirens. Shit! Isabella's so dead. he started to panic, his hand slipping on the knob, making the fire become higher, burning the wood that was near it. Soon the house started to combust since it was a wooden house.

He started to panic even more, before leaping out of the back door and jumping over any fence in his way.

"Hey, mum? Why is there sirens so close to our house?" Phineas asked. "And why is it so bright outside?"

"Probably just a simple house fire." Linda replied.

"Darling, those are police sirens, not fire fighter sirens." Lawrence commented.

"Why don't we have a look, Ferb?"

Ferb remained silent and nodded his head. He followed Phineas outside, Linda and Lawrence following close behind. They all gasp at the sight of the Garcia-Shapiro house on fire.

They all ran over to a police officer who was watching a comrade carry Mrs. Garcia-Shapiro's body from the house. "What's going on, officer?" Linda wondered.

"Well, we got a call from someone saying that there was a shooting and the house was on fire. This is where we were told to go."

The ambulance and fire trucks arrived not a second later. Vivian's body was put in the ambulance and the fire fighters unravelled the hoses.

"Is that everyone?" The police officer the Flynn-Fletcher's just questioned shouted.

"Yeah, just this poor woman." An officer replied.

"What?! That can't be true!" Phineas cried. "There's also Isabella who lives here!" And with that, Phineas ran inside the house and upstairs, followed by a fire man.

Upstairs, Phineas found Isabella crying or her bed, the only thing that hadn't caught on fire because it was metal. Phineas looked up and saw that the roof above Isabella was about to break. "Isabella!"

"Phineas!" Phineas jumped onto the bed and pushed Isabella down, using his body as a human shield. The pieces of debris fell onto Phineas' back, creating a painful burn. Phineas didn't care.

The fire fighter pushed the debris off of Phineas and helped the couple outside. "Phineas!" His family cried. "Isabella!" They hugged the pair, making them both cry in pain from the knife and the burn.

"What are you standing around for?! These two need to go to the hospital!" Ferb snapped, making everyone look at him as if he was crazy. "Well?!" The paramedics ushered Phineas and Isabella into the ambulance, not wanting to be shouted at again by a 13 year old.

A few weeks later…

Phineas smiled as he led Isabella into Candace's room, where it had had a makeover since Isabella had been in the hospital recovering. It had purple walls and a black floor with a pink fluffy rug in the centre, a computer and black desk in the corner, one of those fancy bunk beds with a sofa underneath, a chestnut brown chest of draws and a pink bookshelf filled with an assortment of books and a 42" flat screen TV hung on the wall above the bookshelf.

"I…it's beautiful!" Isabella breathed, hugging Phineas.

He hugged her back and smiled. "Welcome to your new home, Isabella." They both shared a kiss on the lips before Phineas gave her a tour of her new room and all the cool new technological advancements that were in the room.

"Like the new room?" Ferb asked, leaning against the door frame.

"Yeah, it's amazing!" Isabella gave Ferb a friendly hug which he accepted. "Hey, where's Perry?"

I hope you liked the first chapter! I know it isn't exciting exactly but… it just shows how the two stories are sort of linked and how Isabella now lives with the Flynn-Fletcher's.
