So as I told my beta, this chapter was downright painful to write, I had to stop, get up, and walk away two times during my writing of this one. But I digress, some of you who have been keeping along with the other story I'm working on now know that I have plans to take on a new show for fanfiction soon. Let me tell you all that I'm going to finish these two stories before moving and I'm not leaving P&F. That is important. Now to the reviews.
Sparity101: … um … I … don't … you didn't really type a review … there.
Phinbella-cute1: Wow … thank you. That really made my day. But honestly you should also thank my beta reader, not only does she proof read my chapters but she also gives me advice and suggestions that make the story better or more humorous.
MYimaginationForyou: Okay, I will.

(Erick's POV)
I was walking through midtown when I got the message that Django had confessed his feelings to Adyson; meaning that I should probably be next. I had figured that by now, some of the fireside girls might assume something's up, which I figured would help me out a little. I had a rough idea where Katie would be at this time, but I still had no idea what I was going to say. "Don't think just coming out is going to be a good idea." I said to myself. "And if I keep thinking about it then I will never get around to telling her." I looked up and saw that the sun was really low in the sky. "What the heck, I'll just role with it."
I began making my way to the Fireside Girls' clubhouse, the best Fireside Girls' location in all of Danville with a view of the sunset, and the most likely place where I would find Katie today.
I decided to take the long way around, so as to not be seen walking up. When I arrived, I noted that my assumption was correct; Katie was here watching the sunset. "Well it's now or never." I told myself.
I walked up to her and when I got close, I tapped her on the shoulder, causing her to turn around in surprise. "Erick?" She asked.
"Is this seat taken?" I asked as I motioned to the seat next to her.
"Um … no it's … um …" She scooted over so that there was more room for me to sit and taped the seat.
I sat down and took a small breath. "Nice day isn't it?"
"Um … Yeah." She responded nervously. "I … I didn't expect you to come today."
I shrugged. "Well it was come here or sit in my room all day, doing nothing."
"So you came here out of boredom?" She asked.
I looked to the side. "Mmmm … mostly." I responded, as I thought)about losing the bet last night.
She laughed. "Well I'm glad that you came out tonight."
"So am I." I said nervously.
We sat there for some time before Katie tried to make conversation again. "I always love the sunset. It's so beautiful and peaceful."
"Yeah." I responded.
There was an awkward silence, which was eventually broken by Katie. "Oh, did you hear?" She asked. "Baljeet confessed that he was in love with Ginger and Django confessed that he was in love with Adyson."
"I heard." I said, almost sarcastically.
"It was so unexpected, I mean what are the odds that something like that would happen today?" She rested her chin in her cupped hands. "I wonder what could have convinced them to go through with it."
"A straight and a flush." I said reflexively.
Katie looked at me, confused. "What do you mean?"
My eyes widened at my accidental slip. "Um … nothing important."
"Erick." Katie accused.
I sighed. "Fine, you know how almost every Friday Phineas and Ferb host a game of poker?"
"Yeah."
"Well, last night, in the last round, someone, who shall remain nameless, was so confident that he would win that he said that if he losthe would go up to the girl he loves and confess his feelings for her. Django and Baljeet called the bet and Django had a straight while Baljeet had a flush."
"What did this unnamed guy have?" Katie asked.
"Four of a kind." I answered.
She looked at me, surprised *or you could use 'eyes wide'*. "So that's why they both confessed today."
I sighed and continued. "Buford had a full house, Phineas had a straight flush, and Ferb, against every law of probability, had a royal flush."
She laughed. "So Phineas and Buford have to confess as well?"
"Yup." I responded.
"Who do they have a crush on?"
"Either I don't know, or I'm not telling." I answered.
She giggled then turned back to look at the sunset. After a moment, her eyes went wide and she began counting on her fingers. "Hey Erick, you were there too, right?"
"Yup." I answered.
"Who else was there?"
"No one that hasn't been mentioned already."
She slowly turned to look at me. "So then … you were the one who made that bet?"
"Yup." I answered, with a nod of my head.
"So you have to …"
"Yup."
"And …"
"Yup."
"And that means …"
"Yup."
She looked at the sunset for a moment before looking back at me. "What was I asking?"
"I don't know Katie." I said with a laugh.
She smiled before biting her lower lip. "So … have you told her yet?"
I looked at her, confused. "Told who what?"
"The girl that you love that you love her?" She clarified.
"No." I answered. "Not yet."
She looked back at the sunset. "Oh … okay ..."
I bit my lower lip and took a deep breath. "Katie … I-"
"I love you Erick!" Katie interrupted.
I looked at her unable to for form a coherent thought for a moment. "Katie …"
"I'm sorry." She said as she tried to get up, only to be stopped when I grabbed her arm.
"Katie … I was supposed to say that."
We both stared at each other for what felt like forever until we both burst into laughter. "Thank you." I said as I pulled her into a hug.
After the hug broke, she looked at me nervously. "So … does this make us … boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"That all depends." I responded. "Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
"YES!" She screamed in my face before pulling me into a kiss.
Like I said earlier, I'm taking on another story for writing fanfiction and this doesn't mean that I'm quitting the P&F fandom. Now I bet some of you already know but I'm not going to be saying exactly what it is because the last time I wanted to take on another topic, I never actually got around to it. I do have the first chapter done but I'm not ready to post the story just yet.
