Ya I know I said that I said not to expect another chapter of this until after I was finished with my other story. But truth be told I really wanted to get to the really intense part. So consider this my gift to all you for being so loyal.

(Phineas's POV)
I woke up with the most existed yawn. Last night I didn't get much sleep because I was thinking about what Ferb told me, 'when you're with that person everything just seems right and when you're not it's like … something is missing from yourself'
"Do I have those feelings for someone?" I asked myself. I shook the thought from my head and decided to get some breakfast before thinking more on the mater. As I walked downstairs I noticed that Ferb was nowhere to be found. I looked around some more before walking into the kitchen and asking my mom, "hey mom, do you know where Ferb is?"
My mom turned to me, "he said something about going to the mall to meet with Isabella or something"
'The mall … maybe I should go there to think' I finished my breakfast and made my way to the front door. "Bye mom I off to the mall" I shouted as I left.
"Be safe" she shouted back.
I decided to do some thinking on my way to the mall, 'a feeling that when you're with that person everything just seems right huh … if that's true then …do I love her?'
(Django's POV)
So today was the day. I was on my way to Adyson's so that we could walk to the new amusement park together. The only problem being … I have no idea what to say to her when I get there. I figured that in the time it would take me to get to her house I would think of something but unfortunately I couldn't. 'Now I'm in trouble' I thought as I approached her door, 'what am I going to do or say?' these thought and more plagued me as I rang the doorbell. I closed my eyes and ran over something in my head, 'so when her mom answers I'll just say that I'm here to walk Adyson to the amusement park, that way I won't have to say anything to her.' Asthe door opened I got ready to say my line but as the person behind the door became visible my voice got caught in my throat. It was Adyson, in the formal (yet beautiful) red dress. I'm ashamed to say that I just stood there with my eyes wide open.
"You ready?" she asked as I returned to earth.
"Ya … let's go" she took my hand and started running. At this moment my heart beat was through the roof, "can we slow down a bit?" I asked trying to catch my breath.
"No way, I want to be sure that we get there early" she grasped my hand tighter.
"It's an hour before it opens and only a ten minute walk how are we not going to be early?" she just smiled and kept running.
(Erick's POV)
'Someone tell me why I have to go through all this?' I was at the mall, the food court to be more precise and Buford and Baljeet were arguing about the right way to get a girlfriend.
"I keep telling you, if she thinks that you're really in love with her than she'll walk all over you" Buford said.
"And I keep telling you, if you're too scared then she will think you're weird" Baljeet responded. "What do you think Erick?"
I picked my head up and looked at the two arguing before me, "every girl is different, as is their interest. There is no definite way to get any girl to be you girlfriend" both Buford and Baljeet looked shocked.
"Well then it's a good thing that I am better with girls than Buford" Baljeet bragged.
"Better? You ain't better than me with girls" Buford retorted.
"Oh really? Then why did you pull me away from Ginger before I could ask her to be my girlfriend?" Baljeet glared at Buford.
Buford was slightly taken aback by Baljeet's comment but was no less determined to prove himself. However I stepped in before either of them said anything stupid "look if you two turn this into some sort of competition then I can promise both of you that no one will win."
Buford and Baljeet grunted, "fine, but no more giving him advice that won't work for me" Buford demanded.
I rolled my eyes, "okay whatever, I shouldn't be telling you how to get girls anyway, something's like giving her a flower are common enough, but anything big should come from you, otherwise it's not you she will fall in love with" both Buford and Baljeet looked away from each other and I glanced down in defeat. It was at that point that I saw Phineas on the other side of the food court "hey Phineas!" I shouted to him.
(Phineas's POV)
I made my way to the food court still trying to figure out if I had this feeling of love that everyone else had, "hey Phineas!" I heard someone yell. I looked over to the direction of the voice and saw that it was Erick; he was sitting at a table with Buford and Baljeet.
"What's up?" I asked walking toward them.
"What are you doing at the mall without Ferb?" He asked as I reached the table.
I diverted my gaze as I thought to myself, 'maybe they can help me' I looked back to all of them, took a breath, and explained my problem, "I've been thinking about something lately and I wanted some time to think about it"
"Well what seems to be troubling you dinnerbell" Buford said in a curious tone.
I looked to all three of them then asked, "what's it like to be in love?" there was a long awkward silence.
Erick was the first to talk, "well it's different for everyone I think. But for me it was … well it was slow going for a while, but I could say that it was like my energy suddenly shot up in a good way"
Baljeet looked off into the distance and looked unfocused "for me it was like all my troubles just disappeared and all that was left was her."
We all looked to Buford, "how should I know what it feels like? I've never been in love before."
"Please ignore Buford" Erick started, "he is stuck somewhere between denial and acceptance."
Buford scowled, "nerd go pick up our food, and get something for Phineas while you're at it" Baljeet got up and went to get everyone's orders while Buford watched to make sure that he was far away before continuing "look I ain't really in love with Milly, not even secretly"
Erick rolled his eyes, "and why should we believe that?"
Buford looked back to make sure that Baljeet was still far away, "because Milly asked me to come so that Ginger and Baljeet wouldn't be all shy about the whole date thing."
I was taken aback, "wait you're doing something nice for Baljeet? That's even more unlike you than being in love with Milly"
"Why do you think that I want everyone to think that I'm in love with her?"
Erick leaned back, "oh that's good, I was worried that you would be cheating on her with that French girl"
I was confused by Erick's comment but apparently Buford wasn't because his head slowly turned to Erick with the biggest death stare I have ever seen, "who told you" Buford said in an almost demonic voice. Erick laughed at Buford's anger but I was still confused about what they were talking about.
I was about to ask but Baljeet returned with everyone's food, "did I miss anything important?"
I was about to ask who this French girl was but then I remembered the real reason that I came here, "guys I hate to change the topic but I would like to know what is love exactly"
Erick looked to me with a sigh before accepting his food from Baljeet, "well Phineas we can't explain it exactly … why do you ask?" as he asked both Buford and Baljeet also turned to look at me as well.
I cleared my throat, "well the ting is … last night Ferb tried to explain what love is and basically he had the same success that you all did, but he did tell me that it's not exactly the same as the feeling that you get towards your family so that got me to thinking, there is a girl that a feel differently towards, I mean more than just a friend but I … just assumed that it was because she was my best friend"
"Does this 'girl' happen to be Isabella?" Baljeet asked.
'How did he … is it really that obvious?' I thought to myself. I slowly turned my head away and closed my eyes and whispered my answer, "yes."
I waited for the inevitable mockery by Buford, or the gasps from Baljeet but all that I heard was Erick, "go on" he said.
I turned my head back to look at everyone no one seemed overly shocked at the news so I just continued, "well for my whole life I've had these feelings for her but the whole time I just thought that they were feelings of friendship. I mean would a guy really fall in love with a girl at … I don't even remember. Me and Isabella have been friends for our entire lives so I just assumed that … could I really have been in love with her this whole time?"
"Do you enjoy it when she holds your hand or hugs you?" Erick asked.
I tilted my head a little to the side, "ya a little but does that really mean-"
"Are you sad when she is unable to hang out with you for any reason?" Baljeet asked.
I looked back to Baljeet, "that's normal right?"
"Do you get jealous when you see her kissing another boy" everyone slowly turned to look at Buford and take in what he just said.
"Well ignoring what Buford just said" Erick started, "maybe you should ask her if she is willing to try dating and if you really like it then you should ask her to be your girlfriend"
I tilted my head in confusion, "I thought that if you're dating someone then the two of you are considered boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"That's actually not always true, take me and Katie for example, we're dating but I haven't officially made her my girlfriend yet." It took a few seconds for Erick to realize what he just said, "well … that is … I mean it's not like … well it kinda is … I got nothing" we all laughed, "but my point is you should ask her out or something"
"You should give her a flower that worked for me" Baljeet said.
I smiled, "ya that sound like a good idea, I mean I'm sure that she wont freak out if I ask her if she would like to try dating, not to actually be boyfriend and girlfriend but just … see what it's like" I stood up and started walking, then realizing that I have no idea where to find a flower I turned back to the group, "where can I find a pink rose?"
"The florist on this floor is sold out of roses so you will have to go to the one on the upper floor at the other end of the mall" Erick answered.
(Django's POV)
We made it to the amusement park and like I predicted we were early. So we waited for it to open, got our tickets, and entered the park all the while Adyson was still holding hand and my heart was going crazy. "What should we go on first?" she asked.
I looked around, the park was new so it only had one coaster and the line for that was long but I knew that Adyson would love it and the line would only get longer "why don't we give the new coaster a try?" she gave me a smile and pulled me over to the new coaster. The line wasn't as long as I feared only a half hour wait but as I figured be the time we made it to the front the wait went from a half hour to two hours "glad we got on line for this when we did" I said getting on the ride.
"Something tells me you won't be as grateful when the ride is over" I looked over to Adyson in confusion but before I could ask her why the ride shot off faster than a bullet. When the ride was over I had to … make a deposit in the nearest trashcan "you're such a softy" Adyson said while smiling at my misfortune.
"Great there goes my breakfast" I complained "can we go to a concession stand or something?" when I finished we found a nice stand in the games section. Adyson had to go to the bathroom while I was left to pickup our food. As I pulled out my wallet to pay my phone rang.
I picked it up it was my mother "hi sweetie! Are you having a fun time?"
"Ya mom" I said. After a long and lengthy talk with my mother I bid her a nice goodbye and hung up my phone. But just as I was about pay I was blindsided and dragged to a dunking booth. "What's going on here?" I shouted. Just then I noticed the junior school bully Connor and his henchmen at the throwing mound. "This can't be-" I was cut off by the bully nailing the target sending me into the frigid water. As I stammered to the exit I was forced back onto the platform by Connor.
"Get back in there dweeb, I'm not done with you yet" he said while closing the door. I closed my eyes waiting for the next cold encounter but much to my surprise it didn't come. I slowly opened my eyes and quickly realized that they were waiting for me to do that before dunking me again. Again I stammered to the exit but once again I was forced back on the platform by Connor "still not done with you" he said again. This time I left my eyes open so that I would not be surprised. Connor wound up about to throw, I prepared myself for the worst.
Just as he was about to release the ball I heard Adyson's voice "stop it Connor!" as she shouted at him he was thrown off and missed the target. I was thankful to say the least.
"What do you want girl?" Connor asked walking up to Adyson. He started pointing his finger at her "if you mess with me then I'll-" he was interrupted by Adyson grabbing his arm and twisting him into an arm bar (basically the arm is twisted so that the elbow is facing up and downward pressure is applied to the upper part of the arm while upward pressure is applied to the lower part of the arm) causing him to wince in pain "UNCLE UNCLE" he screamed. She let him go and Connor's cronies let me out of the dunking booth. The guy in charge of the booth (who was restrained by the way) gave me a towel and offered his apologies. I graciously accepted the towel and made my way over to Adyson.
"Sorry that they forced you into the dunking booth, are you okay?" she asked handing me my cell phone and wallet that I dropped when Connor blindsided me.
"I'll be fine … thanks Adyson … I really owe you"
"No you don't" she said "it was the least I could do for forcing you to come here with me"
"No one forced me to come here Addy"
"Addy?" she asked.
I quickly caught on to what I said "I mean Adyson not Addy I mean your names Adyson right why would I call you Addy?"
Adyson looked at me worried "Django …"
I gave her a smile "common Adyson there are lots of rids left and I will dry faster if we go on some"
(Phineas's POV)
I was on my way to Isabella with the pink rose that I got from the florist 'I so hope she says yes' I thought to myself. 'I mean it's not like I'm asking her to be my girlfriend yet, I'm just going to ask her if she would like to try dating that's all. I mean I don't even know if I love her, all I know is that I have stronger feelings for her.' As I rounded a corner I stopped to take a breath 'man I didn't know that finding Isabella would be so hard' I took a deep breath and continued my search. It was not long before I found her she was sitting on a bench talking to Ferb and she looked sad. I quickly hid the flower behind my back so she wouldn't see it 'maybe this isn't the best time for th-'my thought process was interrupted by the most shocking sight I have ever seen in my life. Isabella … kissed Ferb. I felt something inside me break and slowly backed up so that she wouldn't notice me. When I was finally clear I made a run for it 'what the heck just happened? Why did it just happen?' these thought's and more went coursing through my brain as I ran home. When I got home I ran to my room and laid down on my bed grasping the flower tight 'now I know I'm in love with Isabella, because it broke my heart seeing her kiss someone else' I started crying as I still held tight to the flower that I meant to give her before I saw that she didn't return my feelings.
(Isabellas's POV)
(That same scene)
"Oh Ferb what am I supposed to do" I asked crying while sitting on the bench.
He looked to me with a sad look "look Isabella … all I can say is that you just have to wait for him to realize his feelings about you"
"But what if he doesn't have feelings for me and I confess my feelings for him then what? Am I to expect that he would just pretend like the whole thing never happened?"
Ferb looked at me with a concerned look "All I can say is just be patient"
I got offended by this comment, I have been patient my whole life, I am through with being patient "Patient? Patient?! I have been Patient for 12 years Ferb I'm done being patient!"
"Isabella"
I looked to him with a glair "can you tell me Ferb that your brother has shown any emotion for me whatsoever?"
He was left speechless for a second "no, no I can't"
I stood up "then it's time I take matters into my own hands. If he does have any feelings for me than I will rip them out of him!"
Ferb looked up in shock obviously horrified by my plan "but Isabella isn't that a bit … drastic?"
I sat back down and started to cry "I know but … what's left for me to do? What if develops feelings for some other girl before he realizes his feelings for me? What if he never realizes the feelings he has for me? I've waited my whole life and unless I do something than I fear that he would never realize how he feels about me"
Ferb looked away "your … right" I was shocked; Ferb actually agreed with me this was something that I never expected to actually happen "how can I help?"
I looked over his shoulder and noticed standing there with his hands behind his back "he's watching" I said and without another word I kissed him.
Wow … 3,554 words … this is by far the longest chapter I have ever written in my life. This is by far (In my opinion) the greatest story I have ever written. But because the chapters take me so damn long to write don't expect me to update it any time soon. And now for the, "what's changed?": at first I planned for this to only be about Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella with the occasional person getting involved somehow to try to make things better but as I continued typing I realized that this way was much better (even if the chapters take me 3 hours to write). After I changed it to incorporate more characters I realized something I could never really work out Buford and Milly (I never really could make something interesting about it) so around chapter 2 I replaned that idea into something more entertaining and easier to work with. Tell me if you like my "what's changed?"
