Hey guys! EscrimaNightwing here! I know I have been gone for a while, so I decided to adopt this story. It's originally by kitten lover 1, so I'll first post what she's written and then write my own material! If you want to read it from her first, feel free. Enjoy!


"'And as for the prince- well, in no time at all he married his lovely Cinderella, and they lived happily ever after!'" Vivan Garcia-Shapiro said as she closed the book she was holding in her hands.

"Again! Again!" a little girl with raven hair exclaimed.

Her mother laughed, "No Isa, it's time to go sleep now."

"Please?!" five-year old Isabella begged.

"Mija, it's getting late," Vivan sympathetically replied as she kissed her daughter on the forehead and walked over to the door, "Tomorrow, ok?"

"Ok..." the little girl yawned.

"Good night, sleeping beauty," Vivan smiled as she closed the door behind her...


RING! RING!

Isabella groaned from under the covers as the alarm clock continued ringing.

RING! RING!

"I'm up! I'm up!" she shouted as she stretched out her hand in order to shut off the alarm. Once the ringing stopped, Isabella pushed off her bed covers and sat up. She sighed as she got up and walked over to her mirror.

The fourteen-year old shook her head in an attempt to move her black hair off of her face. When her eyes were finally freed, she continued to stare at herself in the mirror.

Her eyes darted to her bedroom clock. "Crap!" the teen yelled once she saw the time, "I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" She dashed across her room as quickly as she could, as she got ready for school...


"Bye mom! See you after school..." she called out to her mother as she gobbled up her breakfast.

"Bye Isa!" Vivan replied as Isabella burst out the door and ran to go catch the bus. Vivan shook her head as she watched her daughter chase after the yellow vehicle...


"Hey guys," Isabella said as she walked over to her friend's lunch table, "Whatcha doin'?"

"Oh hi Isabella," Phineas was the first to answer, "Ferb and I were just finishing up planning for the party we're hosting tonight to watch the meteor shower."

"A party?" Isabella asked as she sat down across from them.

"Yeah..." Phineas said, "It's such a rare and beautiful event, I thought it'd only be fair to spend it with all of our friends..."

"And your parents are fine with it...?"

Phineas nodded, "In fact, they were the ones who suggested the idea in the first place..."

"Oh, ok..." Isabella shrugged. Then, she spoke up again, "Listen Phineas, I wanted to tell you something impor-"

"Hold that thought Isabella," Phineas cut her off, "Ferb and I need to go finish something..." And with that, the two boys left; leaving Isabella alone again. Isabella sighed as she stood up and walked over to her other friends' table.

"Hey guys..." she sadly said as she sat beside Gretchen.

"It's Phineas again isn't it?" Milly spoke up.

Isabella nodded. "It's just that...after all this time, you would think he'd return some feelings, yet all I keep receiving is one disappointment after another..." Isabella looked back down at her food.

Her friends seemed to get the hint, and went back to their original conversation...


Isabella exited her front yard and crossed the road to her best friend's house; still a bit glum. She spotted Ferb beside the gate, welcoming everyone who came in.

"Hey Ferb," Isabella waved. Ferb gave a slight smile and waved back; still a man of few words.

Ferb couldn't help but notice Isabella's face and threw her a look that clearly said, "What did Phineas do this time?"

"It's nothing...don't worry about it..." Isabella reassured him as she forced a smile and walked inside the Flynn-Fletcher backyard.

"SURE..." Ferb rolled his eyes as Isabella disappeared into the crowd of people...

Isabella scanned the crowd as she walked around. She finally found Phineas beside the stage; fiddling with the microphone.

"Phineas!" she called as ran up to him.

"Oh, hey..." Phineas mumbled, not looking up. Isabella slowed down and looked at what he was doing. Phineas didn't even seem to notice her.

"So Phineas," she began, "As I was saying before, I wanted to sa-"

"Oh, sorry Isabella," Phineas cut her off again, "Maybe later...I've gotta go!" And he ran onto the stage...

"But Phineas-!" she started to shout, though decided not to. She sighed in disappointment as she walked away and sat down underneath a tree.

"Ladies and Gentlemen!" she heard Phineas announce, "Thank you all for coming to see this marvelous event with us! The meteor show, (according to my watch), should begin in about a minute. So for now, enjoy the party everyone!"

Isabella covered her ears as the crowd roared. She watched Phineas jump off the stage and run towards his other friends; not even remembering that Isabella had something to tell him.

She observed all of the others as they laughed and talked. She didn't even notice that the meteor shower had started until someone shouted, "Hey look! Shooting stars! Quick, everyone make a wish..."

As everyone closed their eyes and whispered their desires in their minds, Isabella began to roll her eyes. "As if those wishes would ever come true..." she scoffed mentally.

Once people were done making their wishes, they settled down on the grass to watch the meteor shower. Isabella watched couples snuggle together on the grass, in jealousy. Oh, how she wished Phineas would do something like that with her. But no matter what she tried, it always blew up in her face...

After about an hour, of just watching the beautiful night sky, people began to head home. Isabella just sat there and watched, as the backyard cleared out.

"Isabella?" she heard Gretchen ask as she walked up to her, "What's wrong? Are you ok?"

"Peachy..." Isabella rudely replied.

"Are you sure? Do you wanna talk about it?"

"Leave me alone..."

"Fine!" Gretchen raised her voice slightly, "But just sitting there and waiting for 'Prince Charming' to come, won't help! This isn't a fairytale Isabella! Don't go around expecting a 'happily ever after'! I'd suggest to get your head out of the clouds and bring it back down to Earth!" Gretchen stopped there, and stormed off.

Isabella sighed. She knew her friend was right and only means well, but she couldn't help wonder..."No, that's insane...But then again, it can't hurt to try, can it?"

She looked up and saw one last shooting star fly across the sky. She closed her eyes and began, "I wish, I wish...for my life to be like a fairytale. Full of magic, suspense and romance. I want my 'Prince charming' and my 'happily ever after'..." With that, she opened her eyes, and turned around to go home.

She stared at the ground the entire time. She didn't even notice that her bedroom door was closed, and ended up bumping her head hard against it.

"Ow..." Isabella mumbled as she rubbed her head and opened the door. She flopped onto her bed and closed her eyes to fall asleep; not even bothering to change.

As she slowly drifted off into sleep, she didn't notice the room around her begin to spin...


Nice beginning by kitten lover. I'll update more soon, but I gotta catch a plane! Leave a review! EscrimaNightwing out!
