Yeah, I know I haven't been updating once a day. Honestly, I'm considering myself lucky to have been able to do it in the past, seeing as how I only have wifi for about an hour a day. Seriously. If you look at the statistics, it really is incredible I can update as often as I do. Hey, I try. All in all, though, the next chapter is officially posted.


Quote Of The Day: Can a man be brave when he's afraid?
That's the only time a man can be brave. (Game of Thrones)


Today, the gang decided to take another journey into someone's head, and this time, by popular request, the head under scrutiny would be Isabella's.

"Don't worry," Irving had whispered to her before the journey begun. "I'll put up a firewall around Phineasland."

Isabella wasn't sure whether to be thankful towards Irving or creeped out, seeing as he knew not only of her crush on Phineas (which wasn't that surprising), but her daydreams, and the fact that she referred to them as Phineasland. Honestly, Isabella felt a unique blend of both.

Fortunately, Irving held true to his word, and Phineas saw none of Isabella's frequent fantasies while he was inside her head. Unfortunately, Isabella's id was not included in those fantasies, and it wasn't long before the creature found the party (after all, Isabella's head was a small place without Phineas).

"Irving," Phineas called. "Get us out of here!"

"I'm working on it," the boy replied.

A few moments later, Baljeet disappeared from Isabella's head. Buford and Ferb followed soon after. But another minute passed, and neither Phineas nor Isabella (the only two left inside her head) disappeared.

"Irving?" Phineas called again. "Why aren't we disappearing?"

"I'm having some technical difficulties," Irving responded, and indeed he was, for he couldn't remove Phineas without first removing the barrier he had placed around Phineasland, and he couldn't remove Isabella without first removing Phineas. What's more, a random beam of light had recently struck the machine, and Irving was having trouble keeping it all together, much less worry about Phineas and Isabella.

"Well fix it, then!" Phineas yelled.

"I'm trying! It's too hard," Irving screamed back, the fear in his voice unmistakeable.

"What's worse, the communication might be terminated any-"

All of a sudden, Irving's voice disappeared, leaving Phineas and Isabella cowering in a corner while the id slowly approached them. The two children realized they wouldn't be getting much help from the outside world now.

"Phineas," Isabella said, hugging her crush as she spoke. "I'm scared."

"Me too," answered Phineas, shivering. "But we have to be brave now."

"But how can we be so brave if we're so afraid?" asked Isabella.

Phineas looked at Isabella awkwardly. "But isn't that what bravery is? Standing up to your fears?"

Isabella couldn't think of an appropriate answer to that. "Umm..."

"If you're not afraid, how can you possibly be brave?" Phineas asked Isabella.

Once again, the only sound to come out of Isabella's mouth was, "umm..."

"Don't get me wrong, Isabella," continued Phineas. "I'm scared too. I'm probably more scared than you are right now. But bravery, and I mean true bravery, is pushing those fears aside, and doing what you know you must."

Isabella seemed entranced by all this, as she was still only saying, "umm..."

But Phineas had nothing more to say, as he stepped forward, and looked in the face what Isabella had been to scared to even think of. So the girl focused on Phineas, and watched him take a stand, rather than watch the manifestation of her deepest fears.

How can he be so brave when he's so afraid? she asked herself. But she answered her own question, and once again was reminded of one of the reasons she loved him so much.

You can only be as brave as you are afraid, she thought. Only in fear does bravery ever show.

And Isabella sat back, dreamily watching Phineas conquer, or at the very least, try to conquer, Isabella's id.


Yeah, okay, that one had a lot of action very quickly. Deal with it. Oh, and please read, review, and request.
