Author's Note: Sorry I didn't post this sooner today, I just remembered it. For those who somehow forgot the preview, Isabella's moving and Phineas fainted.


Phineas awoke on the coach, with Isabella crying next to him and Ferb sitting next to her, trying to calm her down. It took him a moment to recall what had happened, but as soon as he did, he panicked.

"Isabella, you can't leave!" he exclaimed.

Isabella's crying had calmed down some, but this nearly sent her over the edge again. "I don't want to leave! But my mom has been offered a really good job in Mexico and she thinks it'll be better for us if she takes it! But I don't want to go! My whole life is here: you, Ferb, the Fireside girls, you, Baljeet and Buford, you…"

"You mentioned me three times," Phineas said with a sad smile. He felt his eye begin to water as he realized he wouldn't know what to do if Isabella left.

"Of course, you and I have been best friends since we met and-" She stopped, realizing she might never see the boy she loved again, and began to cry harder than she ever had before.

Phineas couldn't bear to see Isabella cry anymore, and he felt that if he didn't do something, he would start crying as well.

On an impulse, he threw his arms around her and hugged her. Isabella cried on his shoulder as he held her.

"When?" was all he could manage.

"T- t- to-" She couldn't even finish the word.

"Tomorrow?" Ferb guessed, still managing to hold his calm act together.

Isabella shook her head and her sobbing began even harder. She finally managed to choke out the word: "Today."

Phineas couldn't hold the tears back any longer. He hugged her even tighter as tears began to stream down his face. Even Ferb couldn't keep it in and he joined the hug, tears running down his face as well.


The Flynn-Fletcher family watched as the last of the Garcia-Shapiro's home was loaded into the moving van.

Linda and Lawrence watched in sadness, feeling extremely sorry for the children. Candace, who had moved out for college, had come over to comfort her younger brothers. Ferb watched almost stoically, but tears still ran down his face. Phineas, however, was sitting next to Isabella on the curb, both with tears running down their faces.

"I'm really going to miss you, Isabella," Phineas said sorrowfully.

"Phineas, I'll miss you more than you'll ever know." The two hugged again.

"I'll never forget you," Phineas whispered.

"Isa! Time to go!" Isabella's mom, Vivian, called.

Isabella looked back at her mom's car, then whispered three last words to Phineas. As soon as she finished the last word, she ran for the car, sobbing.


As the car moved down the street, Isabella took one last look at her house and her best friend. The thing that stood out most was Phineas, kneeling on the ground, sobbing in his hands.


Phineas glanced up in time to see her car turn around the bend. Not only was he never going to forget her, he wasn't sure how he could live without her.

He knew her last words had to be true, and they hurt him more than anything else in his life had. He had been blind for so long, but now he saw what should have been as clear as day. But he couldn't make it up to her, because she was gone.

Her last words echoed in his head and in his heart. He knew he would remember those words and they would haunt him forever.

Those three little words:

I love you…


Agony! Isabella told Phineas how she feels! How is he going to take it? Review and stay tuned!
