This chapter is about Phineas, he will encounter Isabella. Can Isabella succeed at getting Phineas to make up with Ferb? Let's find out.

Phineas was holding up the umbrella as he was arriving at Isabella's house. "It feels kind of weird going to Isabella's house alone."

Phineas arrives at Isabella's house and finds a note on the ground.

Phineas picked up the note. "Another note?"

Phineas reads the note out loud

Dear Phineas,

I know you will find this note when you arrive at my house. The door is open. Come inside.

Your friend,

Isabella

Phineas: "Alright? I wonder how many people on Earth are reading notes the moment I read one." Phineas opened the door into Isabella's house. "Isabella? I'm here. It's me, Phineas."

"Hey Phineas." Isabella said.

Isabella was wearing a purple jacket.

"Why are all the lights off?" Phineas asked.

"The storm is causing a power outage. I'm wearing the hoodie because all the cool air is flowing throughout the house." Isabella explained to Phineas.

"It is kind of cold here." Phineas agreed.

"Join the club." Isabella said.

"Anyways, what did you call me here for?" Phineas asked Isabella.

"We came to talk about you and Ferb." Isabella told Phineas.

"Oh no. No. Please. No." Phineas said.

"Phineas, this fight has been going on for years; you two need to make up." Isabella told Phineas.

"I don't need to make up with Ferb. He keeps arguing with me every time he sees me. I say nothing to him. I say NOTHING. Ferb looks at me like I'm saying something to him. So he starts to argue with me. I'm done with him." Phineas told Isabella.

"So you hate your brother?" Isabella asked.

"Isabella, I don't hate him. It's just the fight annoyed me. I just said I'm done with him because I moved on." Phineas tried to say.

"Phineas, you didn't move on. You said the fight follows you as if it was a nightmare. Look at you. You hardly go to school. You just lie down in bed, watching TV and the only thing you eat are cereal bars and milk. You have that hair covering your eye as if you're a bad person. You haven't moved on." Isabella explained.

"Isabella, I just don't want to talk about it, okay?" Phineas told Isabella.

"Well, I want to talk about it." Isabella said as she crossed her arms.

"Isabella, I have a question for you." Phineas said.

"What?"

"What's going on with you?" Phineas asked Isabella.

"What? What do you mean?" Isabella asked. She was confused.

"You're the only one who comes to visit me. You visit every single day. You come to see me instead of Ferb. What happened to Buford and Baljeet? Do you have something on me?" Phineas asked suspiciously.

Isabella was shocked. She thinks her crush was about to be revealed to Phineas. She had to act fast or else she would have to spill.

"Phineas, I just care for you. After the fight and stuff, you've been a mess. We're growing up now. You don't even build anymore, like you did when all of us were kids. Whenever someone asked you if you were too young to do something, you would say "Yes, yes I am." But now, you can answer that with "No, no I'm not". We're not kids anymore. We're teens. I don't know what happened to you. You, the Phineas I used to know. But this isn't you." Isabella explained to Phineas.

Phineas was just silent at what Isabella had just said.

"I just wish that fight never happened." Isabella said looking away from Phineas.

Phineas was surprised at what Isabella had said to him. Phineas leaned in and gave Isabella a hug. Isabella was surprised, so she hugged back.

Phineas stopped hugging and let go.

"Isabella. You're one of the best friends a person like me could ever have. But let me tell you something. I think it's pretty much impossible that me and Ferb will ever make up. The fight has gone on for 4 years already. I've moved out of the house. Candace moved out with Jeremy. Dad is on conference. Ferb and mom are the only ones left in that house. Ferb will move out after he graduates. But you're right about one thing. I need to move on. And I will. Thanks." Phineas said to Isabella.

Phineas went for Isabella's door and left.

Isabella was just left silent. As the storm stopped, the power went back on. Isabella just sighed and sat down on her couch.

-Danville High School-

Ferb was running to the back of the school to meet with his friends.

"Hey guys, sorry I'm late. I had to have a talk with my mom." Ferb said.

"It doesn't matter; you should be on time, always." The voice said.

"I'm sorry guys. It's just we were talking about… wait a minute. Why do you sound like Buford?" Ferb asked, suspiciously

"Uh, who's Buford; I'm just, um, Tiran?" The voice said. But it was Buford.

"I thought Tiran was British, like me. Not English." Ferb asked. He had caught Buford.

Buford and Baljeet came out of the room.

"Alright, you caught us." Buford told Ferb.

"Guys, what are you two doing?" Ferb asked.

"We have come to reason with you. We want you and Phineas to make up." Buford told Ferb.

"Oh yeah? Like that's ever going to happen. Where is my real club?" Ferb asked Buford.

"There is no meeting. I made it up. Your club doesn't have a meeting until like next month." Buford explained to Ferb.

"Well thank you for wasting my time. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be leaving now." Ferb told Buford.

"Don't leave! Come on, Phineas misses you." Buford lied.

Baljeet whispered in Buford's ear. "No, he doesn't. You have no proof."

Buford whispered back. "I'm just coming up with an excuse to get them to make up."

"What? Phineas misses me? He's the one who moved out and started the fight." Ferb said.

"Well you could've said that it wasn't a good idea. You're basically the one who started the fight. Phineas just came up with an idea, and then you start arguing about the idea. It's your fault." Buford told Ferb.

"Well, it may be my fault, but I still don't care. Phineas needs to apologize." Ferb told Buford.

"Are you kidding me? Isabella goes to visit him every day. The kid's a mess. She tells us that he doesn't go to school and all he does is just lie down in bed, watching TV, eating nothing but a lifetime supply of cereal bars and milk." Buford told Ferb.

"Even if he does miss me, why wouldn't he just say it to my face?" Ferb asked Buford.

Baljeet lied too. "Because he's too angry."

Buford whispered to Baljeet. "Look, I come up with the lies here. Got it?"

"What else do you know?" Ferb asked Buford.

"OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! JUST MAKE UP WITH HIM ALREADY!" Buford shouted at Ferb.

"Look, the fight has been going on for 4 years already. It's almost impossible for us to ever make up." Ferb said as he left school.

Buford whispered to Baljeet. "You see what happens when you lie? You make things worse."
