Chapter 2

May I say thanks everyone for reading! I was surprised with the feedback from my story, I was paranoid all day that people wouldn't like, hate it. Anyway I forgot this in the first chapter but Disclaimer: I don't own Phineas and Ferb! Jeff and Dan are the masterminds. I do own Nathan and Sadie though.

~Isabella~

Isabella waited for the moment to talk to Nathan. All through creating the color dye and bubble soap and putting the final touches on the machine Sadie always seemed to at his side or they were all in a group. Besides she needed to talk to him alone, she couldn't embarrass him. Really she needed to talk to him about his crush on Sadie. She had seen into his heart and thoughts when they were talking. That is why she had her Body Language patch. She could tell that it had dawned on Nathan while they had been talking. She wondered what he had been thinking. She found it funny that he had totally wandered off in thought in the middle of introductions.

The opportunity came for Isabella to talk when they finished the machine. Sadie needed to go to the bathroom and Phineas and Ferb was going to grab some snacks from the kitchen. She and Nathan were alone in the backyard. "So Nathan," she tried to act casual, "how did this crush on Sadie start?"

~Nathan~

Nathan had been caught totally off guard by the question. This small girl had seen right through him. "Um, just this morning, I could have before and just not noticed, but I definitely knew today."

Isabella nodded thoughtfully, "Okay I understand, I'm in the same boat, I've been trying to get Phineas' attention for four years!"

"Really? Wow, and he hasn't noticed?" Isabella only nodded. "Do you think you can give me some pointers on keeping cool when I'm around her? I don't wanna ruin our friendship."

Isabella nodded, "Sure, first definitely don't drift into 'Sadieland' you never know what you're going to say."

"It sounds like you speak from experience," Nathan noticed, "Have you said something embarrassing before when you wandered off in 'Phineasland'?" He put his fingers up and did quote on quote actions when he said Phineasland.

Isabella blushed, "It wasn't bad, but I could have said something much worse if it had been a different dream." Trying to redirect the attention she said, "But also don't blow her off try to do what you have been doing. Don't leave her side unless you must."

Nathan nodded soaking it all in. "Okay, don't wander off yet still be at her side. I got this."

By then everybody started trickling back into the backyard first Sadie then Phineas and Ferb, their hands filled with granola bars and stuff. (From Thaddeus and Thor) Phineas handed out the snacks while speaking "Okay guys! We got granola bars and Stuff! Everyone grab a snack then lets fire the machine, I can't wait to see these things fly! ... Or float." Everyone chewed their snacks and lined up behind the machine to press the bubbles. "Since we have new guys today let's let them go first, Sadie," Phineas gestured to the machine "will you do the honors?"

~Sadie~

I was super stoked to try out this machine, these guys acted like they did this every day. Maybe they did, she would have to ask that later. She looked at the machine. It was metal gray and had a horn on one side that the bubbles would blow out of. She looked over at Nathan, he was ruffling his brown, wavy hair looking preoccupied. She turned back to the machine and sighed and turned back to the machine and pressed the button. I wish Nathan wasn't afraid to act younger than he is, life is so much more simpler if you don't care.

The machine started purring. Everyone leaned closer with anticipation, ready to see the bubbles fill the air. The machine made a popping noise and spit out one bubble. It was a spring green cube and it started floating around. "One? That's it?" Sadie exclaimed, while it was still impressive it seemed really small. They watched it float around before the breeze turned it around and let it pop on my shirt. With the pop came the voice of Sadie. I wish Nathan wasn't afraid to act younger than he is, life is so much more simpler if you don't care. "Did that thing just quote my thoughts?" I ask to no one in particular.

"Yes, yes it seems like that." I whirled around to see who spoke. It had been Ferb, I had never heard him talk, but he talked with a British that seemed to roll off his tongue. Ferb just blinked as if nothing happened.

Nathan cleared his throat. "So, I'm guessing Ferb doesn't talk much?"

"Yeah, Ferb is more a man of action, I'm more a man of words." Phineas explained coolly.

Nathan nodded then looked at me. His face looked hurt, but also mischievous. "So you think I act my age too much? You think I'm afraid to act my own age."

I got mad, I mean really mad. "Of course I do Nathan! That's why you keep me around, so you can use me as a pathetic cover so you can do stuff that would be looked down upon by kids our age. But, news flash Nathan! These people are our age and they are doing this type of stuff, so why does it matter? Loosen up sometime you wimp!" My fists were clenched and I could feel the red on my cheeks, I'm not stupid, I know Nathan uses me because he is a wimp and is afraid of exile from "the flow".

Nathan was silent, clearly hurt from what I said. I didn't regret a single word he deserved it all. Just when I thought I had made him speechless, his face turned to horror. "Uh, Sadie? You are glowing green."

Still growling from anger I lashed out my hands to my face. They were literally glowing green, a dark shade of green. "Somebody get the hose!" Yelled Phineas. Isabella ran to the side of the house and grabbed the hose, she turned the knob until a steady flow was running then came back to me, hosing me down with the cold water.

The glow flickered then went out entirely. The anger left my system. Why had I yelled at Nathan? He had asked an innocent question and I had gotten in my face. What had I been thinking? I did regret those words, every single one of them. "Nathan, I'm so sorry. I don't really care if you use me as a cover I know sometimes you can be shy or insecure, I'm so sorry." My voice was filled with concern and emotion.

Nathan was angry, "I don't believe you." He said, his voice sharp like a knife and just as hurtful. "Screw this, I'm out of here, this is retarded and stupid, I can't take this." He stormed out of the backyard, his red shirt billowing from the breeze.

I started crying, "Nathan, please come back, I didn't mean it! I mean, maybe at first, but not now!" He wasn't listening, he just kicked up the kickstand then flew down the street on his bike. I ran after him jumping on my bike. I had to catch him.

~Isabella~

"I'm sorry, did that just happen? Or did I imagine that?" Phineas asked.

It was rhetorical, but Ferb answered anyway. "No, you definitely didn't imagine that, your mind isn't that twisted."

"Wait so what happened? Why did they react like that?" Phineas questioned.

Isabella slapped her forehead. He was still as oblivious as ever. Phineas looked at her questionably. She just sighed and pushed the button on the machine. A pink heart shaped bubble popped out of the machine. It floated around the backyard then popped on its own. Love. Was the word that tumbled out of the bubble, it came out in Isabella's whispered voice.

The word hung in the air for a few moments before Phineas spoke again, still confused, "How do you know Isabella?"

Isabella hesitated for a moment then spoke in a quiet tone. "I just know, but also, experience."

"Experience? With who?" Phineas' voice sounded confused, but more was in the voice-panic-.

"I'll tell you later, right now I'm going to go check up with Sadie. You guys should really fix that machine before it ruins somebody else." Isabella was thankful she found an excuse to leave that backyard. "I'll catch up with you guys later. See ya around."

She got to the front yard and looked to see Sadie. She was sitting in the grass a couple of houses down, crying, Isabella didn't know how she could help her, nut maybe a little comfort could help. Just the presence of another girl might help. She jogged over to her, thankful that she had switched to denim shorts instead of her pink dress she had been wearing for two years. Dresses weren't the greatest to jog in. When she came up to Sadie, her knees and hands were bleeding, she had crashed her bike. Apparently Sadie didn't care about the wounds because she just sat on the grass hands wrapped around her legs, eyes resting on her knees. "Sadie, are you okay?" She asked with an approachable voice. Sadie weakly shook her head 'no'. "Do you want to talk about it?" Again, she is answered with another shake of the head. "Well if you ever want to I'll be right here, next to you." she said and sat in the grass next to her. Oh how messed up her life has become in such a short amount of time. Isabella thought. She sat there, listening to Sadie cry. Sometimes crying can be the best medicine, so can trust and opening out your heart to others. It dawned on her, Sadie needed a friend, someone she could trust. Trust goes both ways though so Isabella had to open up, too. She was going to tell Sadie everything, and she meant everything. "It all started on the first day of summer when we were ten." She remembered, "Phineas and Ferb decided to build a roller coaster in their backyard, they called it The Coolest Coaster Ever and it certainly was, back then I was just realizing that I liked Phineas, I had for about a year, but that is when I was getting into the full swing of it…" she continued on.

Maybe Sadie was listening, maybe she wasn't. Isabella didn't mind, Sadie was observant, she would hear the emotions at least. Phineas, I hope you have a way to fix this, Isabella prayed.

~Phineas~

"So Ferb, do you know where Isabella got her, "Experience"?" Phineas said.

Ferb only rolled his eyes.

Yes I realize this was mostly on Nathan and Sadie but I tried adding funny moments of Phinbella, breaking Phineas' shell and connecting characters. More Phinbella in next chapter, Scout's Honor. Ferb, Isabella and Phineas have some new plans with their new friends. Buford, Baljeet, and the Firesite girls might make appearance, I'm not sure.

Thanks to everyone who favorited and reviwed, that made my day. No telling when I'll update, depends on homework...

Anyway answer reviews!

Rachel: I appreciate the excitment, hope this satisfied.

Midnight4568: I like how you think! Don't think it is going to be that straight forward though, there maybe some twists! Again thanks for the excitment!

anonymous: check your spelling my good friends :) thanks for the review, i appreciate the compliment, too.

Tophrockclannad237:I hope (if you're reading this) that the low Phisabella appearance didn't dissapoint, also thanks, I'm not really good at gooey mush stuff so this gave me a relief.

Ok, I did this at night so I have lost sleep. It is ok, it is worth it, only 7 hours of sleep? Pft, I don't care.

Okay, well see you people later. TheAllySue is out, Peace! (see what I did there?)
