Hey! I'm so happy for all this positive feedback. Don't think it will be another cliché hospital stories we all know in love. I paid attention when Phineas visited Isabella in the hospital when she got her tonsils taken out. Now under different circumstances he will act a little differently.

~Isabella~

I could hear the nurses around me. They were writing stuff down or talking to other nurses. I could hear the beeping of the IV squirting liquids in my body. No pain though. I couldn't feel a thing. I knew I had broken bones though. I could hear the nurses talking about me, my mother was sitting next to my hospital bed, but I wasn't at the hospital.

I was somewhere completely different. I was in a field with long grass that moved like waves with the breeze and sunrays. I knew I actually wasn't here; I was physically lying on a hospital bed. Come to think about it, I was probably in a coma. This is where I go. This is the sacred place in my mind. This place is perfect. I lay down in the grass. Why not stay here for a while? My eyes become heavy, but before I let them close completely I looked into the distance. There a lone mountain rose high above the clouds. I'll climb that, after I rest.

~Phineas~

I shot up out of my bed. I had dreamed of Isabella. To be more exact: Isabella's funeral. I had woken up right after she had been buried, disappearing from the world forever. I must have caused enough of a commotion because Ferb was giving me a look of concern. "Tomorrow can't come soon enough." I simply state. Tomorrow is when we are going to see Isabella. I looked away, my eyes were becoming foggy. When had I become such a wreck? What happened to my optimistic personality and courage? That's not the Phineas Flynn that i fell… into this situation with. Isabella's voice echoed through my head. She was right, we had fallen into another unforeseen circumstance, and again I was acting out of control and I was losing it.

Ferb's voice echoed through the room, "Phineas, sometimes to heal you just need to let it out." Though the phrase we simple, something in my brain clicked and I just fell apart. I buried my eyes into my hands, wishing I could hide my entire face from the world. Unfortunately, my hands were too small and my nose too big. All I could do was cover my eyes and just wish to disappear from this reality. Ferb was always silent, but this silence felt like a patient silence. Ferb wasn't just letting me go, but he was feeling the pain through me.

~The next day~

~Still Phineas~

The car sat in idle in the drive way. My mom was in the driver's seat and Ferb was in the backseat. I stood in the doorway hesitantly. I wasn't ready to accept the truth that Isabella was hurt. I wanted to believe that she had just slept in. As soon as I stepped into that car and into the hospital there would be no way to accept anything else, right now reality was in a liquid state in my mind. I let a sigh escape my mouth, I had to see Isabella, and there was no way around it. I walked up to the 4-runner and slid in next to Ferb. My mom looked at me, "Are you ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be." I said. There was no way I could be prepared.

~Isabella~

I gasp for air as I climb the rocky cliff of the mountain. "Why would I make this so difficult?" I ask aloud. I know this is all my imagination; it's all in my head. Really I'm lying on a hospital bed right now. I have nurses monitoring me and my mom is holding my hand. I'm trapped in my mind though. I'm climbing this huge mountain, and for some reason it is requiring all the strength I have. I realize I'm not going to make it to the top, at the most I will climb 1/10 of the way up. I know I need to reach the top though, there is something important up there I can just feel it. I stop to catch my breath for a second. I feel a piercing pain in my ribs, and my arm and leg hurt like crazy.

While catching my breath I listen to the nurses. "She is breathing hard!" One screamed.

"She seems to be in pain!" said another. Man these nurses were slow. Hello! Just help me!

"Give her some more pain killer." One nurse suggested. Thank you! I wanted to scream. A few minutes later the pain in my ribs and appendages subsided.

"Was that from the painkiller? " I asked myself. I don't have time to think about it though because I'm sliding down the mountain. I scramble to regain my footing. I look up to see a ledge. It isn't far, but definitely will be tiresome considering the rest of the mountain. That will probably be as far as I will be able to go in this condition of mine.

I climb hard and as fast as I can. Scrambling up the rough terrain, I finally reach the ledge of the cliff. I stand up and give a defiant cheer and whoop as if challenging the mountain, but then all my energy fades and I pass out.

Beep, Beep. The hospital noises are clearer now. It is pitch black, I can't see a thing. I can feel now tough. The stiffness in my joints, the screaming pain from my ribs, my arm and leg itchy, all of it is there. I could feel a cast wrapped around my arm and leg, that must be causing the itching, but the stiffness of my joints is really irritating me. I try to move anything to ease the uncomfortable joint pain. I feel one wiggle and freeze. I couldn't believe that actually worked, I do it again to see where the wiggle came from. There it was again. It wasn't a figment of my imagination, I could feel the movement outside my body. It was my right pointer finger. Suddenly I heard nurse voices again, "Oh I'm sure she would love to see you guys." She said.

"Is she awake?" a hopeful voice asked. It definitely wasn't a nurse. The voice was masculine, I felt my heart quicken as I realized who it was. Phineas.

"Oh no, still in a coma I'm afraid, but she might know you guys are here. You know, she might be able to feel your presence."

"So can we see her now?" Phineas asked again. He was talking about me!

"Sure!" she piped. Ugh, she was a way to preppy nurse. I heard her walk away, the other stayed. Phineas was in the room, and Ferb was probably here too.

There was a long silence, then Phineas spoke again, "Isabella, it is me Phineas. Can you hear me?"

~Phineas~

When we walked into her room, I could have never expected to see her as she was. Don't get me wrong, I have seen Isabella in the hospital before (earlier this summer she had gotten her tonsils taken out), but I never expected her to look so frail. She had her eyes closed and she looked peaceful. It looked like she was sleeping, the casts and IV told him differently though. I studied her for a while, taking in every detail as if frozen in time. I wonder if she could hear us talking. Only one way to find out I guess. "Isabella, it is me Phineas. Can you hear me?"

I stared at Isabella for a while. Ferb put his hand on my shoulder for support. We both were sad to lose our best friend. Then I saw movement. "Holy Cow!" I shouted. My voice was stuttered and sounded shocked, "Ferb, did you just see that?" He raised an eyebrow at me. "Isabella's pointer finger just moved." As if happy to be recognized, Isabella's finger tapped faster. "Isabella, you can hear us?"

Two taps

"I'll take that as a yes."

Two taps

"Easy enough, two taps for yes, how 'bout one tap for no?"

Two taps

"So you agree?"

Two taps

"Can you move any other fingers?" I ask. Really I am just making sure that she can to something other than two taps.

One tap

"Are you okay Isabella?" I ask her. I want to be assured her wellbeing.

Two taps

"I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you." I apologize, "I should have been there."

One tap

I purse my lips. I understand the message, Isabella doesn't want me to blame myself, but I just can't.

Three taps.

"Excuse me?" I ask. "Isabella I have no idea what tree taps means.

One tap

"How about four taps is for sorry," I suggest teasingly. "and three could be for whatever you intended. We can figure out what that means later."

Rapid fire of taps

That can only mean one thing, irritation. "Sorry, do you want to change four taps to something else?"

One tap

"No? So we will just keep it at sorry. It works for me."

Two taps

I could practically hear Isabella's voice: Yes, yes it does. (A running gag with us) Our talk is cut short by Mom popping in. "Phineas, Ferb, ready to go?"

"Sure Mom!" I call, but then I turn to Isabella, "We will be back soon, okay Isabella?"

Two taps

We follow Mom out of the room, she must have missed Isabella's tapping. When everyone leaves I turn back for a second. "Bye Isabella."

Three taps

"I'll figure out what that means next time, I promise." I say as I leave the room.

~Isabella~

Even though I know he is gone I do it again, three taps. I mentally sigh and rest, for some reason it took a lot of energy to tap, Goodbye Phineas, thanks for visiting. I say in my mind. If he knew, he might have said his goodbye differently. Three taps, my new way of saying, I love you. But he will never know next time he visits I will use three taps for another reason, goodbye maybe, or pain, or hurt, or food, something condition related that would make sense.

I love you, three taps, you will never know. One day you'll find out, just in a different way.

~Ferb~

We got ready for bed and Phineas had a smile on his face again. "Hey Ferb, we need to figure out what three taps mean." He declared. Idiot, anyone can see but you. Three taps means that I love you!

Holy cow! People please realize there will be no brother on brother fluff. I just wanted to show that Phineas was blind and Ferb isn't. Anyway, how 'bout that! Never saw that coming now did you? I typed this in about thirty minutes. It would have taken me longer, but I had already written it on paper. To anyone who has me on favorite author or author alert, the next little drabble I'm writing is a crossover between Phineas and Ferb and Pecry Jackson and the Olympians. Just to warn you.
