A/N: Kay, guys, it's here! I got nothing but positive feedback on the continuation of this story, so...yeah. And yes, yes, I need to update "Between the Lines", I know, but too bad! This idea was stuck in my head. And this is a bit shorter than I wanted it to be, but chapter sizes are going to vary, depending on inspiration.
And if you're confused, I did turn of PMing. I know, I didn't warn anyone, and I'm sorry :( I really do want to be able to talk to everyone, but my dad had decided that he doesn't want me talking to people from across the world who I don't know, and it's his computer. My hands are tied here. But please don't forget about me, I'll still be posting and reviewing!
Disclaimer: You know that PnF episode "Great Balls of Water" that's premiering in the U.S. tomorrow? It I owned PnF, that would've come out as soon as I saw the first commercial! I have this problem with waiting for things...
Phineas' POV
"So you're saying that the hydraulic screws need to be three centimeters farther away from the screen?" I asked.
Ferb nodded, and pointed to the blueprint we had laid out on out lawn. Yes, it was a normal day for us fourteen-year-old inventors. We were originally planning to make a giant tea cup and send it to the UK to store their tea reserves in, but it turns out they already had one of those. So we changed our plans.
Ferb had picked up on radio waves in space that we believed had come from our friend Meap's planet. As a result, we had been pulling out parts for an old space communicator and trying to rig up a signal.
"Hiya Phineas," I heard from behind me, and I turned to face the bubbly voice. "Whatcha doin'?" Isabella walked in the gate, her hair shining like always and her face breaking out into a huge smile. Her white skirt fluttered in the breeze, and her pink polo brought out her eyes. She was followed by two of her best friends, Ava and Charlotte.
"Hey Isabella," I smiled at her before turning back to my work. "We're trying to contact Meap."
"Cool! Can I help?"
"Come on over," I waved her over to where I was studying the old blueprint. Charlotte followed her.
"Hi Ferb," I heard softly as Ava walked over to my brother, and I smiled to myself. As vehemently as Ferb denied it, we were all pretty sure that Ava had a crush on Ferb, and the Ferb had one right back.
"So, where are the other Fireside Girls?" I asked Isabella.
"They're having a meeting," Charlotte answers, playing with her hair a little, unconsciously. "They told Isabella to go ahead, along with Ava and me."
"I wonder why that could be," Buford said dryly as he and Baljeet walked in.
Isabella turned pink. "No reason," she muttered.
"Uh…Phineas?" Ava said. Her voice was quiet, but it was filled with distress.
"Yeah?" I turned around, slightly frightened by her tone. Ava was always calm, always sweet. But now she sounded scared.
"Ferb was monitoring space around our planet," Ava explained nervously. "He said that he found something that he wanted you to see."
Ferb looked at me, urgency in his eyes. "What is it?" I said, walking over to Ferb.
"What could be that bad?" Baljeet looked a little bit twitchy.
I studied the numbers on the screen for a moment. "Is that…a meteor? Wait…is it made of cutonium?" I squinted a little and checked again as Ferb slowly nodded. "Ferb, that's going to hit Earth," I exclaimed.
"What's cutonium?" Buford, Baljeet (well, actually he said "what is"), Charlotte, and Ava all asked at the same time. I always forget that Buford and Baljeet weren't with us when we defeated Mitch, and Isabella didn't meet Charlotte and Ava until a year after that particular adventure.
I looked at Ferb. "See if you can finish up that communication with Meap," I said. "This is probably what he wanted to warn us about. I'll try to finish building. Here," I tossed a pile of hard hats to Isabella, who started handing them out. "Help me finish this. I'll explain what cutonium is later."
Isabella's POV
After around a half hour of work, we had finished the comm port. Ferb input a few numbers, and Meap's face appeared on screen. The picture was covered with static, but we could make him out. "Meap!" Meap cried.
"Uh, Meap?" Phineas pointed to his lip. Meap seemed to understand. He dug around off camera for a moment before reappearing in a large, black, handlebar mustache.
"Is that…a mustache?" Charlotte asked, confused.
"Yes, yes it is," Meap replied. The others gasped and stepped back as they realized he could speak English. "It's my Universal Translation Mustache," Meap explained. "Look," he turned to Phineas and Ferb. "There's—"
"A meteor composed entirely of cutonium hurtling towards Earth?" Phineas finished his sentence.
Meap nodded. "It will be arriving any second," Meap said, rushing. "Is there anything you can do?"
"I think the best we can do is to evacuate the area," Ferb said.
"Agreed," Phineas looked back at Meap. "How much time do we have?"
"Let me check," Meap walked off camera for a moment.
"How are we going to evacuate all of Danville, Ferb?" Phineas asked.
"Uh, Ferb?" Ava's voice was scared, and no one but Charlotte and I seemed to hear her.
"I'm still lost here," Buford broke in.
"Me too," Baljeet added.
"We could use the tornado sirens," Ferb suggested.
"But then everyone would go underground."
"Guys," Ava's voice was getting more and more frightened. Charlotte and I looked over at her, but she was staring at the sky. Wait, was it just me, or was the sky turning pink…?
"We could always cover the city in a giant force field."
"Do we have time?"
"GUYS!" Charlotte screamed, pointing to where Ava had been looking. And that's we I saw it. A giant meteoroid, as big as me, at least, and covered in a soft pink glow, was coming right towards the backyard.
"You have no time!" Meap yelled, reappearing on camera. "Move; now!"
Everyone scattered, but I stayed in place, watching the pink ball of fire grow closer. It really was the cutest ball of fire I've ever seen. There was just something about it…
"Isabella!" I heard Phineas' desperate plea from over the fence. "Isabella, you need to get moving!"
But I couldn't move. I just had to watch it grow closer and closer…
"Isabella!" Phineas' choked cry rang over the yard. It sounded like Phineas was trying to get back over the fence and grab me, but someone was holding him back. But why would he want to move me? He'd miss that adorable fireball…
"Phineas, Ferb, what the heck are you doing out here?" Candace walked out of the house, pushing the glass door. But when she saw the comet, she screamed and ran back inside. Huh, weird.
"Isabella!" I heard one last time, but it was in the back of my mind. The fire was so close that I could feel its heat licking my face.
But one second later, it wasn't licking my face. It was on me. All over me, it tried to consume me. I'm sure I screamed, but I heard nothing. I felt nothing. I saw nothing.
Nothing at all.
General POV
A large, pink tinted mushroom cloud towered over Danville, emitting from the site of the collision. Sparkles rained through the air, touching everything. But one red-headed boy didn't care.
"Isabella!" he cried, coughing on smoke. "Isabella, where are you?"
Him and a few others hopped the fence surrounding the backyard, and began searching through the discarded dirt around the newly-formed crater. The meteorite smoked and sizzled, but its pink glow was gone.
"Isabella!" The various children called. "Isabella!"
Suddenly, they heard coughing. "Here!" A girl's voice choked from under the masses of soil. The teens rushed to dig her out, scooping handfuls.
Finally, the girl attempted to sit up, and the kids saw her clearly for the first time.
"Is that…Isabella?" One blonde girl asked.
"That ain't girly, is it?" A husky boy asked, almost whimpering as he fell backwards.
Every guy's jaw hit the floor as she fully emerged. "That is her," An Indian boy said in amazement, his jaw practically scraping the floor.
"She's…cute," One green-haired boy said simply, carefully closing his mouth.
But the ginger's mouth stayed on the ground. His pupils were huge, taking up almost all of his eyes. "She's always been cute," the boy began dreamily. "But now she's…adorable."
A/N: So...you like? I hope so. Phineas is completely entranced by Isabella's adorableness, even though the other guys aren't...yet. I wonder what that could mean...and now you also know why I added the "maybe Ferb/OC" in the summary. Oh, that reminds me. I'm trying to draw a good cover art for this story, a REALLY adorable Isabella, but I can't quite get it right. Does anyone want to volunteer?
Okay, I got a bazzilion reviews for chapter one, so I love you all now! Therfore and so forth...review answering time!
