Hi guys, what'cha doin'?
Okay, I was bummed that we have no classes, two days straight! Though, I thought it was a good thing because I have more time to rest from my hectic week aka. "The Doom's Week" as my friends referred, but come on! I need to study and it is boring to stay here in my house, nothing to do except writing fanfics. Well, sorry for not replying to your reviews and PMs. Lately, I got busy doin' my errands. Speaking of reviews, I saw some of it and I went happy because some of you liked it.
Wait a moment, who's excited on the Mission Marvel episode? I can't wait to see the Gang and my favorite Marvel superheroes in action! I mean, I'm a big fan of Marvel since I was a kid so I'm very, very, very excited about it!
So, let's cut out the chit-chat and let's get started in the fourth chapter of When Spirits Collide!
(Disclaimer: I do not own Phineas and Ferb.)
Isabella's POV (Setting: On the way to Isabella's house)
As I find my way to my home, I put my sad face because I didn't found Phineas's body and his family. AGAIN. I started to find anything related about him three days ago, after the night we met.
But before I start my search, he discussed with me about the possible location of his body.
(Flashback; Setting: One morning at Isabella's house)
"Good morning!" He greeted. On that time, I almost forgot that he's here and about what happened last night. Even though he is a spirit, he's like alive to me.
I stretched my arms and body to keep myself awake. "Good morning, too. How's your sleep?"
"Uh, I can't sleep." He said. I raised my eyebrows.
"Why? Do you have insomnia? Do you have sleeping problems?" I asked, curiously.
"No, I don't have." He answered.
"Then why?" I asked again.
"Um... how will I tell this..." He muttered. "Isabella, spirits don't sleep. They don't sleep, breathe, and eat. In other words, they can't do whatever a normal person can."
"Oh, hehe... sorry." I said feeling embarrassed. Isabella, you're so stupid! My mind told me.
"Nah, don't be embarrassed. Some people really think that being a ghost is just like passing through the walls, drifting around, and etcetera. But it is not." He told me.
As I eat my bread and butter, he tried to grab the spoon but it fell out of his hand. "AGH, dang it!" He grimaced in annoyance. "Why I couldn't do this! I already had done it to you! But why I couldn't touch this small spoon?!"
"So..." I tried to shift his attention away from the spoon. "How will I find your family?"
"Good question." He commented as he stopped trying out. "Well, at first you need to find my body."
"How?"
"Hmm... according to one of my brother's books, if one spirit doesn't have the limitations to go anywhere he or she likes or wants, then the body should be near to its spirit, or host, as the paranormal experts say."
Then something crossed into my mind. "Wait! I know that I'm just a newbie about this host-spirit relationship thing but I got a theory."
He raised a brow. "What is it?"
"Well..." I started. "If your spirit is still here, is it means that your body is in state of shock?"
"Taking the possibilities, yes." He said as he widened his eyes in realization. Maybe he got what I'm thinking right now, I thought. "That means..."
"Your body is in coma." I concluded.
"And if my body is in comatose state, then that means... my body is in a hospital!"
"Precisely. And the nearest and the only hospital here in this area is the Tri-State Area Central Hospital," I said, "which where I'm working at."
"Hmm..." He grinned at me, like a child who wants some sweets. "I guess our luckiness goes on to our road."
(Flashback ends)
I sighed in sadness. I tried to search him in the hospital but no luck. I tried too to ask my friends but they told me that there is no patient named "Phineas" in the hospital database and they haven't heard his name. I grasped my hand in anger. Maybe I should give up.
No. I am not giving up. Why am I thinking negative things? Agh, but whatever happens, I will not give up because I never was, never am and never will. And, I made my promise to Phineas. I am the only hope he has. I know that I am the only one he could rely on.
As I opened the door, I got shocked. Why?
It's because Phineas is scrambled on the floor.
Phineas's POV (Setting: Isabella's house, couple of minutes before Isabella arrived)
Man. It's so boring in here.
It's been three days since Isabella started to find my body. I know it is very hard for her to do it but I also know it is the only way.
I sighed. As I saw a paper and a pen, I made my trial again. I know it is impossible for an intangible spirit, like me, to grab or handle an object. But I believe, "There is a possibility in every impossible thing."
I tried to hold the pen but it kept passing through to my fingers. When I almost held it, that's the time my hand became intangible again. Because of my annoyance and anger, I punched the wall. When I realized what I've done, I scolded myself and I removed my hand on the wall.
Uh oh. I thought. That's a big mark. Isabella's gonna kill me if she saw this.
But when the important thought took into my mind, I smirked. Why? Because my hand didn't pass through on the wall.
My eyes widened but I didn't get my hopes go high so I did one more trial with the pen.
"Okay Phineas, let's do this." I mumbled.
Slowly, I placed my hand on it. Then, I just focused in grabbing the pen. I grasped my hand and lifted it. My jaw dropped at first but it instantly shifted to a smile.
"I did it!" I shouted while I tossed the pen. "Ha! I DID IT!"
When I got the pen again, I excitingly sat on the chair and I started to write something on the paper.
"Finish!" I exclaimed as I raised the paper. Finally, I did something most of the spirits can't. I cannot wait to tell this to Isabella.
But I celebrated too early.
My headache turned up again but it isn't a light headache. It seemed like when I wore stethoscope once and my friend played the chest piece (the one that the doctors placed on the parts of our body) by slapping it really hard and your head started to ache that you're feeling that the sound coming from the stethoscope is killing you.
The headache really stings into my brain. Then my vision was starting to distort that there is a mist all around me. When I closed my eyes, the pain immediately stopped. However, when I opened it, I'm no longer in Isabella's house.
Instead, I found myself in the backseat of a car.
"Hey, bro! Missed me?" That's my... that's me. When I was alive.
Then they get in the car. At first, I didn't realize who the person beside me is. But I remembered who the person is. It's my brother, Ferb. My eyes watered a bit when I saw him but I tried to hold his shoulders, my hand passed through. I felt upset that I can't talk to him or hold him.
"Ferb, have you planned something for Mom's birthday?" My other self asked him and Ferb just looked at him. I remember that he doesn't talk too much. We just talk like that. Brother-to-brother telepathy link, in simple terms.
"Could you just make it simple? You know, for a change?" My other self asked him again. Ferb raised a brow, as a sign that he's very curious, and he started to speak.
"Phineas, is Mom's birthday the reason why you came back here?" He asked.
"Um... well, of course!" My other self replied as he scuffed his ear. How terrible liar I am, I thought.
"You're lying, Phineas." My brother commented. "Is it because of that?"
"Okay, you've already got me, Ferb!" My other self shouted. I'm confused. What in the world are they talking about?
"Phineas, do you think you'll gonna succeed about—"
"I know I could do that. I'm a man of possibilities!" He shouted at him. "So don't even block my way."
"I'm not making my moves to block you way but I'm worrying about you because if you will fail on your search, I'm sure you would get hurt."
"Don't worry bro, even though my search won't work according to my plans, I would be alright." My other self assured at him.
The car stopped at the intersection. My other self reached his bag at the backseat but it fell. When he tried to get it, a van slammed our car, turning it upside down, and pushing it to the middle of the intersection.
"FERB!" I heard myself yelled then my brother's croaks and groans.
"Ferb, hold on!" He tried to reach him as Ferb's eyes fluttered a bit and finally, he opened it widely.
"Bro, what's the matter? Tell me!" I asked him but I remembered that he can't hear me. Wait... is this the reason why I died? Is this vision a memory of mine? Is this a memory fragment? If it is, there is no way I could change it.
"Phineas..." He croaked. "You need... to... run..."
"No!"
"Run..." And he lost his consciousness.
"Ferb!" Then a heard a honk and screech of a burning tire. I looked back and I saw a truck was gaining speed on us.
"Uh oh." I said and the truck crashed on our car. I quickly shut my eyes and I heard someone calling my name repeatedly.
"Phineas! Wake up!" It's Isabella's voice.
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw is her sapphire eyes full of worries.
"Hey..." I said.
She gasped. "My gosh, you're okay!"
I put my hand on my forehead. "What happened?" I asked her.
"Uh, I just found you lying on the floor." She told me. "Is your head hurts?"
I blinked my eyes. "A little bit but I'm okay." When I tried to lift my other hand, I saw her hand holding mine tightly. My heart skipped several beats. "Isabella, uhm, would you mind if you..." I pointed her hand. I don't want her to take her hand back but I can't lend my hand forever to her.
"Ah..." She removed her hand. I noticed that her cheeks are read but I didn't mind that.
When I got up and lie on the sofa, she went to her room and changed her clothes. But I would prefer her uniform because she looked adorable when she wore it. Whoa, did I think that?
I shook my head. Maybe it's just the effect of the memory fragment. But it's strange... the memory... it's like an incomplete one. There is something missing on it and I know it's important.
Oh man. I have this new feeling towards Isabella and I have this problem about the memory fragment. Please, I told in my mind, can somebody tell me what the heck is happening on here?
So that's all for today! What in the earth is happening to Phineas? Will Isabella find his body? To find out more, stay tuned for the next chapters!
This would be my last update for this week because tomorrow will be the resumption of the classes. *sighs* Here I go again.
I need to get gone, guys. See ya later!
(PhinabellaDirectioner's gonna sleep. Tell me your reviews about the chapter!)
EDITED.
