Chapter 3

Italics are thoughts

The next day...

It was still dark out. Phineas shot out of his dream and was in an alerted mode. As he got up and stood on his bead in a ready position, he jostled Perry, their pet platypus. Perry gave Phineas an angry look that said "what the heck are you doing?". Phineas laid back down and pet Perry a couple of times untill he laid back down and fell asleep.

"That was one of the craziest dreams I think I have ever had" Phineas spoke quietly to himself as to not wake either Perry or Ferb.

"Maybe you would like to hear it Perry...". He rather quickly decided he would tell Perry just to get it off his chest so he could get back to sleep.

Across the room, Ferb was still as to not attract Phineas's attention. Ferb was oddly interested as to what Phineas had to say.

Phineas began to tell his tale.

"It was a, a, quite, well, hmmmmm." Phineas didn't know where to start.

"Okay. It was one of those dreams where you are in a third person view of yourself. Except it wasn't just me. Isabella was there too." Phineas paused a moment to think fondly of the girl who lived across the street.

Ferb was fighting off boredom and sleepyness because he knew the good stuff was coming up. He did however want to shout "Hurry up" to his brother.

"We were lost in a dark maze where the walls were covered with the same looking texture so it was impossible to recognize where we were in the maze. We were pretty scared, mostly due to the fact that we had no clue as to where we were. There were odd noises that kept us looking every direction. I tried my best to console Isabella, and I felt sorry for her. Somehow I knew the situation we were in was because of me, yet I didn't know how I knew that. Just one of the things in dreams, eh Perry?"

Phineas stopped for a moment to pet Perry and think back to the dream he had.

Phineas continued. "Eventualy we found our way out. The exit led us right onto our street inbetween our houses. Isabella was, happy I guess." Phineas thought about the most intriguing part before saying it. "She grabbed me tight and gave me a soft kiss on the lips". Phineas sat there at a loss for words as if he had been kissed right there for real. "Wow" was all Phineas could say at the moment.

"Why am I so confused right now? I swear if Ferb was listening right now and could see me, he would be trying not laugh but end up laughing uncontrollably regardless. What is this feeling inside of me?" Wham! Phineas's mind was almost knocked over as a thought broke out of its cell and started beating down on his brain so hard that he couldn't ignore it.

"Its love!" Phineas said louder than he expected he 's mind flashed back to memories of when they were younger. "How could I have been so stupid not to notice..." Phineas stopped and examined his mental state. After nearly 10 minutes of thought, Phineas concluded that it was 3:44 in the morning and he couldn't honestly assess his emotions untill he was in a fully awoken state. Satisfied with that, he got comfortable in his bed again, and slowly drifted off into a thoughtless slumber.

Ferb, who was still awake, gave a quick glance over his shoulder at his brother. Ferb wasn't suprised at the confessions, but he didn't hear what was going on inside his brother's head. Ferb eventually believed that Phineas figured out that Isabella was completely in love with him. He wasn't, however, sure that Phineas was in love with Isabella. "He probably is, he just won't admit it. Maybe he will say something tommorow". Ferb was too tired to think about anything else, so he drifted off to sleep as well.

Phineas woke up that morning again, but on time. He quickly looked at the clock. It said 6:59. Perfect. Phineas grabbed a small rubber ball from under his pillow. He aimed at the wall, waited 13 seconds and threw the ball. It bounced off the wall at about a 10 degree angle and headed straight for his alarm clock. The ball nailed the "Alarm Off" button, bounced against the back part of the dresser, and bounced backward onto the floor harmlessly. 5 seconds later, the alarm went off.

"Oh well, I tried to time it perfectly but I think that's something that even I can't do." Phineas had been trying to throw the ball, then have the alarm go off and the ball turn off the alarm.

Phineas slipped out his bed, picked up his ball, and looked up from his feet. This was when he noticed Ferb, or rather, he noticed Ferb was NOT there. "Hmmmm... Where could he be?" he thought.

Phineas put on his clothes for the day: a simple orange striped shirt with some jean shorts. He then proceeded downstairs where he met Ferb sitting at the table, eating his breakfast. "Guess it was just a false alarm, hehehehe what is wrong with me today?" Ferb nodded to Phineas, who returned it likewise.

"Crazy day so far, hey Ferb?" Phineas was sort of using Ferb to vent on. "Yeah I had one heck of a dream this morning."

"Care to talk about?" questioned Ferb. He was being cruel to Phineas without him even knowing it. Ferb wanted to tell Isabella because he thought she deserved to know. On the other hand though, it really was none of his business and he should let Phineas and Isabella figure it out together. "Together, hmm. That reminds me I have to make sure I ask Phineas the names of the Fireside Girls. You can't have a crush on someone whom you don't even know there name".

When Isabella had her Fireside Girls help with the projects they built., Ferb couldn't seem to keep his eyes off of one in particular. "She was so... beautiful. And smart too. I must have looked so stupid when she helped me fix that one computer problem, i wonder..."

"Ummm, Ferb? Hello?" Phineas was waving his hand in front of Ferb. "That's that same look that Isabella gets sometimes. Weird."

"Sorry about that Phineas." Ferb waited a few seconds to see if Phineas was going to continue on with whatever he had been talking about. After Phineas remained silent, Ferb spoke up.

"So, are we going to work on that project of yours?"

"Oh, yeah I had forgotten! Sure, I'll meet you out back".

Ferb put his dishes away and bumped into their mom on the way out of the kitchen.

"So what are your plans for today?" Linda asked.

"Phineas and I will be in the backyard" was all Ferb said.

"Okay then. Your father and I will be going to an antique auction today. We tried to get Candace to come along with us, but, oh you know. Have fun boys!". And with that, she walked into the other room where their dad was and began to discuss something with him.

When Ferb reached the backyard Phineas had already set up the main computer terminal.

As Ferb entered earshot Phineas started to explain what he had done so far.

"So I found this old super-computer in the basement and all this other stuff-" Phineas pointed to a box next to the terminal. "-that we could possibly use. I currently wiped the drive and have started putting in this program I wrote last night."

Phineas and Ferb did not notice Isabella on the other side of the fence. She was about to enter when she heard her best friends talking to each. Phineas was acting suspicious lately. She decided to wait outside the fence and listen a bit before revealing herself. "Phineas wants to prove something about being better than me. This project he is talking about must be it. The more I know that he thinks I don't know will just add to my advantages."

Well, i guess i'll stop here. Don't worry! There will be more action in the next 2 chapters so if you're bored just hang in there.
