Sorry I haven't posted in a week! There were like four times I almost posted early in the week and I was like "Oh, I just posted on Sunday, I don't need to post again!" Then, come Thursday, I got super busy. Soooo, here's a long chapter!
Disclaimer: I'm 18, do you really think I have the artistic genius to create the most fantastic cartoon in the history of ever?! No, I didn't think so either….

After school, I dragged Ferb with me to talk to him while we walked down to practice.
"It's just not normal, Ferb. She kissed my cheek. I don't know why and I can't get it off of my mind! I have all these questions running through my mind, like if she were single in that moment, would've she kissed my lips or was it purely a friend thing? Is there anything more than 'thanks' in it? Am I going insane, Ferb?"
"No, I think the lover's heart is either getting the better of you or you have a point."
"That doesn't help me, Ferb."
"Maybe you should ask Bella."
"What?"
"It wouldn't hurt."
"Yeah, it would. Ferb, that would be like 'oh, hey, Bella, do you, uh, like me or somethin'?' Dude, no!" Ferb chuckled at me.
"What?"
"Sometimes it's worth the risk of looking like a fool."
"And sometimes it's not."

"I just don't know what to do, Adyson. I don't want it to seem like I'm a guy-bouncer. Seriously, we just broke up today."
"Guy-bouncer?"
"Yes, one who bounces from guy-to-guy."
"Okay?"
"I can call it a guy-bouncer if I want to!"
"Okay, so you don't want to be a guy-bouncer."
"But on the other hand, it's my senior year, if I don't make a move soon, Phineas will meet some college girl and we'll never see each other again. And I would love to go to homecoming with him…"
"You're a complicated human-being."
"Such is love, Adyson."
"True, maybe we should make Phineas make the first move."
"Adyson, this is Phineas we're talking about. He's not going to make the first move. Years worth of moves didn't work. No, we have to think bigger. But not immediately."
"Gotcha. So basically, you're waiting, but you're not."
"Yeah, pretty much."
"Okay, we'll start planning then!"
"Planning what?"
"How to get Phineas to ask you out!"
"Uh, no."
"Yes!"
~Phineas~
"I thought of something, Ferb," I said, randomly, that night. He gave me a questioning look. "If I ask Isabella out, and she says yes, it may make her look bad." He raised his eyebrow at me. "I mean, she and Jake just broke up. So, it may make her look like she's one of those people who always has to have a boyfriend. But what if she does like me?"
"I don't know, Phineas, you'll both be happy?" he answered.
"It's not that simple, Ferb."
"Or is it?"
"It's not for me."
"And why not?"
"Because, I'm scared…"
~Isabella~
"Homecoming is in a month, right?"
"Yeah, why do you ask, Bella?" Gretchen inquired.
"Because, I'm not total guy bouncer if I wait till homecoming, right?"
"I'd say so. You broke up with him for a good reason, not because you're a guy bouncer."
"Well, I did realize that I'll never get over Phineas either, I mean, it is kind of guy bouncer-ish."
"I think you're free to do what you want, Bella. You're not a bad person because you like someone right after getting out of a relationship. Seriously, it's fine."
"I don't know, Gretchen."
"Remember how long it took Ferb and I to get together after my breakup?"
"Umm…"
"A little over a month. Why? Because I got over the pain, I really liked Ferb, and jumped at the opportunity. Seriously, it's okay!"
"Okay, you're right. In a couple weeks, I'll start hinting."
"You can start now."
"I'm waiting at least a week."
"Okay, Bella, whatever you want."
~Phineas~
"I've got it!"
"Got what?" Baljeet asked.
"The perfect solution to my Bella problem."
"What is that?" I whispered my plan into Baljeet's ear. It's perfect. I can't wait to get started. Bella's going to love it! Now I just have to wait for a couple of weeks to get started. "That's brilliant, Phineas! Now, you have to help me get a girl!"
I laughed, "Have one in mind?"
The next day, I walked to school alone. Ferb was with Gretchen and Isabella had an orthodontist appointment and was coming to school late. The leaves were starting to fall, it was beautiful. To me, the only thing more beautiful than the leaves is Isabella's smile. I breathed in the fresh autumn air, thinking about Isabella. I couldn't wait to get started on my plan.
~Isabella~
A week later, I knew it was time to start my plan. I walked over to Phineas's house earlier than usual, and knocked on the door. A very tired-looking Phineas opened the door, "Oh, hi Bella, what are you doing here this early?"
"I brought breakfast and was hoping to eat in your backyard, just me and you."
"Oh, that sounds nice. I'll be right out." I smiled to myself, then went under their tree. A couple of minutes later, Phineas came out the back door with a blanket and a bowl of cereal. "What made you want to do this, Bella?"
"I just wanted to spend time with my best friend, that's all," I smiled, hoping to look and sound a little flirtatious.
"Oh, I like the idea. We should do this more often."
"I agree." We sat there and talked for a while, then went our separate ways to brush our teeth. We had to rush to school, since we sat under the tree too long, but it was worth it. It was nice just having a carefree conversation with Phineas.
~Phineas~
Isabella coming to eat breakfast with me was a big surprise. She almost sounded flirtatious when she said she wanted to talk to just me. I liked it a lot. On our rush to school, I noticed more than ever how pretty she is. It's not the time most guys would notice such a thing, but she looked so perfect, so natural. I knew that I had to build up the courage to start my plan if I ever wanted to get anywhere with it. I sighed, wishing I was as brave and carefree with love as I am with my inventions. "You okay, Phineas?" Dang it, she heard my sigh.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"What's the problem, I know it's something. Don't lie to me, I know you."
"It's a long story, oh great, they're leaving bus hall!" I ran in the school before Isabella could ask another question.
~Isabella~
I went to my locker after Phineas ran off. "Hey Bella!"
"Hey Adyson…"
"What's wrong?"
"Phineas, he's hiding something from me. I don't know what."
"Why don't you ask him?"
"I did, he denied it, but I know Phineas Flynn, he's hiding something."
"Try Ferb," she said, then walked away.
"Hmmm, Ferb, not a bad idea…"
"What about Ferb?"
"Oh, Gretchen, you scared me! But you could help me with something!"
"What's up, Bella?"
"Phineas is keeping something from me, and I'm trying to find out what it is. Do you think you can ask Ferb if Phineas has told him anything?"
"Yeah, totally!"
"Thanks Gretchen, I gotta get to class, cya!" I walked to class and hoped that Gretchen could get information off Ferb.
~Phineas~
"Ferb, she suspects something. I don't know what to do!"
"I suggest telling her."
"What?"
"Phineas, you can't hide from the truth, just tell her how you feel before she gets annoyed with you for keeping secrets."
"I don't want to ruin our friendship, Ferb."
"Trust me, that won't be a problem."
"How do you know?"
"Just trust me, ask her to homecoming."
"Fine, I will….tomorrow."
"No, Phineas, today. Oh, look there she is, do it now!"
"What? I'm not prepared!"
"Bella! Phineas has something to ask you!" Isabella walked toward me and Ferb, "Good luck, Phin," Ferb whispered.
"Hey Phineas, what's up?"
"Um, Isabella, hi." She gave me a weird look, "You haven't called me Isabella in years…"
"Oh, well, I like your name, um, that's all."
"Oh, okay, whatever, so what'd you have to ask?"
"Well, I, umm…" I've never been more nervous about anything in my entire life. I want to ask, but I can't build up the courage. Ughh!
Awww, Phineas is feeling insecure, how adorable….ASK FREAKIN' ISABELLA OUT! And the way they both think alike with the "guy-bouncing" precious! Haha, okay, peace out homies(No, I don't actually talk like this) Review please (: (Sorry, I'm hyper, I had my chorus concert today)
