And I Am? Chapter 6: You forget those who you love
Chapter Summary: Phineas wakes up, and remembers everyone, except for Isabella, and his crush on her. How will she take it? Candace tries to help Phineas remember Isabella, and remembers the secret album Phineas had hidden, and shows him it. But when she does, trouble follows, and the gang have to help him in a dire sit.
I almost forgot to mention the disclaimer: Phineas and Ferb don't belong to me; they belong to Dan Povenmire and Jeff 'Swampy' Marsh.
A/N: Thanks to vcawarrior15 for reviewing! Also, I'm thinking about rewriting this, so please let me know if you think I should! I will stop here, and make a version but all in Phineas's POV. Anyway, on with the next and (possibly) final chapter!
Phineas sat up, and saw everyone looking at him, all with worried expressions on their faces.
"Uh, could someone tell me what happened, and where the heck we are?" He asked everyone.
"Great, we're back to square one!" Isabella said sadly, tears now forming in her eyes. What if he never remembers me, or anyone! I'll never to be able to tell him that I love him, there won't be any more big projects from him and Ferb, there won't be anything! She thought to herself. But some of her thoughts were proved wrong when she heard Phineas speak:
"Hey Ferb, who's your friend over there? And why is she crying?" He asked, pointing at Isabella. The moment she heard him say Ferb, she thought that he had all of his memory back. But when she heard him ask who she was, she started crying even louder.
"You mean that you don't remember Isabella?" Candace asked Phineas.
"No Candace, she doesn't look familiar, or sound familiar. But she looks cute." Phineas replied to her.
"Maybe if I showed you some photos, then you'll remember? Wait, did you say she was cute?" Candace asked him.
"Yes, yes I did say she was cute. I'm just going to go outside for a minute to get some fresh air so I can think." Phineas then walked outside, and left the gang to talk.
"So, he can't remember Isabella, yet he remembers everyone else?" Candace asked the group.
"Apparently, yes." Ferb replied. Candace then thought for a moment. Maybe if I showed him something he made or did just for Isabella, then maybe he'll- Wait! That's it! I'll show him that photo album! She thought to herself.
"Guys, I know how we can get his memory back." Candace told everyone. Upon hearing that, Isabella asked her something: "How are we going to?" Candace then pulled out the secret album Phineas had hid from everyone, and showed it to Isabella.
"With this." Candace said.
"But how? It's just another photo album." Isabella then looked at the title of the album. Her eyes widened. Everyone else looked at the album, and they too were all shocked.
"So Phineas didn't tell any of you?"Jeremy asked them. Everyone except Candace shook their heads in reply.
"He didn't tell us either. Well then, wait until you see this." Candace opened the album, and when everyone laid eyes on the photos, they all gasped, and nearly fainted.
"Whoa, and we thought he was naïve!" Was all they could say, but Isabella was the most shocked.
"So all this time, he was in love with me, yet he didn't tell me!" Everyone looked at Isabella.
"Oh, right. I didn't tell him that I was in love with him." No-one was aware that Phineas had walked back in to the cave, and he had heard every word. So it was no surprise that everyone was shocked when they heard him talk.
"Uh, Isabella?" He asked, as everyone turned to face him. "Yes?" She replied. "I was in love with you and you were in love with me?" He asked her. Isabella was able to stutter out a reply: "Uh, y-y-yes, t-t-t-that's r-r-right." Candace then showed Phineas the album which she had just shown everyone else.
"Remember this, Phineas? It's a photo album you filled with pictures of you and Isabella, and you were in love with her." Candace flicked through the album, and as she did, Phineas became closer and closer to fainting. When she showed him the last picture, which happened to be him and Isabella hugging after the time Phineas had ran away, Phineas began to feel dizzy, span around, and fell backwards. Isabella immediately ran over to him and tried to catch him, but she was too late and he hit his head on the rocky floor, and caused a few small rocks to fall, one hitting him on his head.
"Great, that's the third time he's been hit by a rock, and the third time he's fell unconscious!" Isabella said, as Ferb went and took his pulse.
"Well, how is he?" Isabella asked him.
"His pulse is just below average, and I don't actually know when he'll wake up." Ferb replied. As the gang sat there waiting, they were all thinking, although Isabella was thinking the most. What if he never wakes up? What if he does wake up, but he hates me for letting him get hurt? She thought. After fifteen minutes, there was no response. After half an hour, still nothing. Buford threw water over him, but still nothing. After forty five minutes, Isabella had a realization: Phineas wasn't going to wake up, or at least not for a while.
"Uh, guys, I don't think he's gonna wake up any time soon." She told them. Everyone thought for a moment, and when they saw Phineas stop breathing for a mere moment, they all spoke.
"He isn't breathing! Quick, we need to get to the hospital!" Without realizing, their panic caused larger rocks to hit Phineas. Ferb pulled out a microscopic chip, and threw it at the ground. The chip transformed into a car. Incidentally, Candace and Jeremy both got their driver's license, so Candace grabbed Phineas, while Jeremy climbed into the car along with the rest of the gang. Candace put Phineas in the back, next to Isabella, and climbed in as well.
"Next stop, Danville Hospital!" Jeremy said as he put pedal to the metal. It was only when the car drove off of the edge of the mountain did he realize something.
"Uh, Ferb?" Ferb then pushed a red button, and wings sprouted outside of the car.
"Thanks Ferb!" Jeremy then piloted the car onto the road, and drove to the Danville Hospital. Isabella sat next to Phineas, holding Phineas's hand and hugging him. She didn't want to lose Phineas. It didn't take long to get to the hospital, and as soon as they did, they leapt out of the car, and Candace grabbed Phineas.
The gang ran into the hospital, and up to the front desk.
"Hello, how may I..." The desk clerk saw the unconscious Phineas and the group all had worried expressions on their faces, and immediately knew what was wrong and took action.
"Stretcher needed at front desk!" She shouted into the intercom. Instantly, two men came in with a stretcher, placed Phineas on it, and carried him away.
"Will he be okay?" Isabella asked her.
"They're taking him to do some tests, when they've done he should be in room 308. I'll let you all know when you can see him." She said. The gang went and sat in the waiting room for what seemed like hours, but in half an hour, they were told they could see Phineas.
"Can you tell us what happened to him?" Isabella asked the desk clerk, who replied by saying:
"Well, he's got a mild concussion, and when we saw he wasn't breathing, we hooked him up to a ventilator. He's in room 308, and try not to disturb him - he's fast asleep." Everyone walked down the corridor, round plenty of corners, up stairs, until they reached room 308. They all stood there for a moment, before Isabella pushed the door open. Everyone looked inside, and saw Phineas, still unconscious, on a hospital bed, hooked up to a machine. The moment she opened the door, Isabella ran over to him, and sat on a chair next to his bed. It was my fault he's here, unconscious. I shouldn't have left him on his own in the cave. What if he does wake up? What will happen? Will he hate me? All of these thoughts rushed through Isabella's head, but they were interrupted by a nurse walking in.
"Is there a Mrs Linda Flynn-Fletcher here?" She asked.
"Sorry, no. There's no Mr Lawrence Flynn-Fletcher either. I'm Candace Flynn." Candace told her.
"So you're his sister?" She asked, pointing at Phineas.
"Yes, yes I am. Oh and when can he be discharged?" Candace asked her.
"He should be out of here by this afternoon, say about 4:00pm. Well, I'll leave you alone then." The nurse then left. Candace returned her attention to her brother. Isabella then began to whisper to Phineas.
"Please wake up Phineas; you don't know how this feels... Especially when I love you!" She said to him. Phineas began to move, and then stopped. His eyes fluttered open, and he was able to hear everything Isabella said.
"What if he never wakes up? What if he stays like this forever? I'll never be able to tell him I love him!" She shouted.
"Isabella, you do realise that's a worst case scenario, right?" Candace tried to comfort her.
"But Candace, he hasn't moved for over an hour and a half!" Isabella shouted at Candace.
"Uh, hello. Can anyone explain why I'm on a hospital bed? I mean one minute, I'm setting up tents, and the next I'm in a hospital? And why Isabella is confessing her feelings towards me?" Isabella heard him
and hugged him in an instant.
"So you don't remember anything of what happened? That you had amnesia and that we tried helping you? The earthquake?" Isabella asked him.
"What earthquake? Wait, did you say I had amnesia, Isabella?"
"We'll tell you now. Okay, at the beginning, or what we think happened. We went our separate ways to get supplies, and you went in the cave to set up the tents. Something hit the cave, or it collapsed, and you were hit on the head by a rock, unconscious. We cleared the cave and found you, and then we threw water at you to wake you up. You woke up, and couldn't remember anything or anyone. We tried helping you by showing you stuff and some photos, then we went outside, and you ran back in and there was an earthquake and you got hit by a rock again. You woke up, and remembered everyone but me. Again, we tried helping you, and you fainted and hit the floor. Then, we waited until we saw you stop breathing. Next, in our panic, you got hit by another rock, and we took you to the hospital. Then, they performed tests on you while we waited, then they told us you had a concussion, so we came in here to see you, then you woke up." Phineas looked at her with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Well, I'm glad I've got my memory back, but there's one thing I still don't get." Phineas told Isabella.
"And what's that?" She asked, afraid that Phineas might find out what she was hiding.
"The reason why I fainted, and how I got my memory back. I can tell you lot are hiding something." He replied. Isabella knew it was too late to hide it. Candace then spoke:
"We're sorry it had to come down to this, but here's how you got your memory back." She said, handing him the photo album. When he saw the album, his eyes widened with disbelief.
"Where did you find this?" He asked Candace angrily.
"Your room, of course!" Phineas glared at her, as if to say 'I know that, stupid.'
"Fine, I admit it. It was Jeremy who unlocked it!" She said, pointing at Jeremy. Phineas glared at him.
"You know, eventually I'll get out of here, and your bones won't be what they are now." Jeremy took it as a hollow threat, and smiled at him. Phineas then realised something, and tried to hide the album.
"It's no use, Phineas. Isabella's already seen it." Candace told him.
"She has?"
"Yep, I have, Phineas." Isabella told him, which shocked him. Candace looked at the clock, and saw it was 4:00pm.
"Uh, Phineas Flynn? You can go, after your sister signs these papers." The nurse from earlier told him. Candace went out of the room to sign some papers, and everyone else left the room to leave Phineas and Isabella to talk.
"So, you love me." Isabella told him.
"Of course I do! Remember the day I ran away?" Isabella nodded, how could she forget - the boy of her dreams left her!
"Well, I fell in love with you during that time. I realised all the hints you left me, and that wonderful song you sang in Paris. Now the only question I have left is: Do you love me?" Isabella sat there, thinking. She was about to speak, but the nurse came in.
"Phineas? You can go now." She then walked over to the ventilator, and unhooked him from it, then walked out again. Phineas saw Isabella, and told her something.
"Don't worry. Take your time." He then climbed out of the bed, and walked out of the door with Isabella. They followed everyone else into the car, and set off for home. Along the way, Isabella thought deeply about what Phineas had asked her. They turned up at Maple Drive which conveniently, hadn't been destroyed by the earthquake where Jeremy parked the car, and everyone climbed out, and went home, except for Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, Candace and Jeremy. Ferb pushed a button, and the car folded up. He, Candace and Jeremy went inside, and Phineas and Isabella sat underneath the tree in the backyard to talk.
"Phineas, I think I've made my decision." She told him.
"So, do you love me? It's ok if you don't." He asked her.
"Well, here goes. I love you, Phineas Flynn!" she shouted loud enough for all of their friends to hear, before hugging Phineas.
"I love you too." Phineas said. He returned the hug, and tried to kiss her, but he was interrupted by Candace and Ferb, who were holding up their cell phones.
"That is so cute!" Candace said before taking a picture. Ferb just smiled, before taking a picture.
"You better delete those pictures before I do it myself!" He shouted before running at them.
"No way, Phineas! How would everyone else know? Wow, 50 people have replied already! And besides, they could be useful! Like blackmail..." Candace said, before joining Ferb, and ran inside. Phineas sighed in defeat, knowing he wouldn't be able to get his hands on the pictures. He then walked back into the yard, where Isabella was waiting.
"Who cares if they have pictures! We've got the real deal!" Phineas smiled at this, then pulled Isabella into a hug, and then kissed her.
"Would you look at that? It's 6pm! Time for tea! I'm sorry Phineas, but I've got to go." Isabella began to walk out of the yard, but Phineas stopped her.
"Do you have to?" He asked. Before she had any time to reply, Phineas hugged her again, but his mom and dad walked into the yard.
"Hey kids, what did we miss?" Lawrence asked, but then he saw Phineas and Isabella hugging.
"That is so cute!" Linda said as she walked in, but saw Phineas's head bandaged up.
"Uh, Phineas? What happened to your head?" She asked him. Phineas and Isabella pulled away from each other, and Phineas spoke.
"Candace will tell you everything, mom." The two parents walked inside, and Isabella left to go to her house.
"See you tomorrow, Phineas!" Phineas waved in reply, and went inside for tea.
"That's going in my scrapbook!" Irving said, after coming out of the bushes, and then went home after picking up his scrapbook from Ferb.
Isabella, who was on cloud nine, went home, where her mom and Pinky were waiting for her.
"Hello Isa. Did you have fun today?" Her mom asked.
"Yes, yes I did. Everything was perfect." She then went and ate tea and described in great detail what had happened today.
"Well, I'm glad everything turned out for you and Phineas." Her mom told her.
Ferb and Candace had told their mom and dad exactly what had happened as well.
"Well, that's great! I'm glad things turned out ok. Now who wants pie?" Linda asked them
"We do!" All three children replied.
During the credits
Perry sat at the end of Phineas's bed, when his watch buzzed. Doo-bee-
doo-bee-doo-bah, doo-bee-doo-bee-doooo! He looked at it, and jumped into a box. He reappeared in his lair, where Major Monogram was waiting for him.
"Sorry to disturb you at this late hour, Agent P, but it's Doofenshmirtz. He's recovered inhumanly fast, and he has ordered lots of strange items. We need you to stop him first thing in the morning. Oh, and we need you to deliver something to your owners tomorrow as well. Oh yeah, one last thing. How did things turn out with your owner?" Perry gave him thumbs up. "Well, I guess that's it. Monogram out!" Perry saluted, and took the stairs back to Phineas and Ferb's bedroom, where he snuggled back on Phineas's bed.
THE END
