A/N: This is made by yours truly: Myron Greenleaf. I'm not entirely sure what I was thinking when I was writing this chapter, all I know is that it is more than thrice as long as normal chapters I've been posting for the past couple days.
Phineas had been gone for the rest of first period, free period, second period, and lunch. Not a hide nor tail (literally) of Phineas was seen until after lunch when he had decided to reappear. It was gym, and everyone in the group was sitting on the floor talking, including Adyson and Gretchen who had the same gym period as the gang did. Everyone except for Phineas who was just walking into the room, nothing but the clothes on his back to disguise himself from the rest of the world about the transformation into a Black Tiger Hybrid.
Adyson was the first however to notice Phineas come in as she was standing in a position so that she could scan the crowd for Phineas as soon as he came in. Of course, things were messed up for the week. All of the gym classes were now in the smaller Auxiliary Gym so that the main gym could be outfitted by Phineas and his friends for the Halloween Bash that was now less than a week away.
Of course, most people didn't know of the rift between the two most prominent members of the most popular band in school, so the biggest discussion was what Phineas and his friends were planning on singing for the Bash next Monday. All were curious about it, even the teachers, but none actually knew. The band swore complete secrecy on the matter, so only the group of five actually knew.
"Ma-Phineas," Adyson called out, barely catching herself on calling Phineas 'master'. The two had come to an agreement (and by agreement, it was Phineas telling Adyson) that she would only use the term 'master' when nobody else was around to avoid drawing suspicion on the pair."Where did you go after first period?"
"I went out and needed to cool off for a while," was all that Phineas answered with, leaving many of the others confused, but Adyson understood perfectly.
"But you don't have your collar on anymore," Ferb protested. "You know how dangerous that can be. Especially for you!"
"I know Ferb," Phineas said, studying his brothers eyes. "So how are you and Isabella working out?"
"What do you mean?" Ferb asked.
"I mean, how does it feel to be boyfriend and girlfriend?" Phineas asked in an uncaring tone.
"Fine," Ferb replied, suspicious of Phineas and what he was getting at. "So why don't we at least cover you up until I can construct a new collar for you?"
"No to both of them," Phineas replied immediately, taking a step back.
At that point, Adyson jumped up from her sitting position on the floor and walked over to Phineas before whispering into his ear. "Come on master," she muttered. "It is just for one day... You don't want the entire school being just as suspicious at you as Isabella is right?"
"And your point?" Phineas asked.
"They might side with Isabella..." For a moment, Adyson didn't think that her advice would be given much thought. That was when Phineas shrugged.
"Alright, fine," Phineas muttered.
"Thank you master," Adyson said cheerfully before going to get him his black hoodie sweatshirt that she had brought along just in case. Phineas rolled his eyes, but took the hoodie, putting it on just as the coaches blew their whistles to start class.
After school, Phineas and Isabella stayed as far from each other as they could when they were finishing up the last bits of the gym. Phineas was working near the front door where Isabella was working on the stage, opposite sides of the room, setting up tables, sound check, microphones, the strobe lights (still). But that wasn't what was interesting Phineas at all. Every few minutes he kept looking away from the front door, he would see a blur in his peripheral vision. For the most part, he ignored it, but ten minutes of it will grind anyone's ability to ignore it, and Phineas was no exception.
Silently Phineas pulled away from the rest of the group and out the front door, coming face to face with a White Fox.
The White Fox looked amused at him. "Phineas Flynn..."
"Kim..." The first name that popped into Phineas' head, but somehow, Phineas knew it was the right name and was confirmed when the White Fox nodded.
"You've been proving hard to follow now," Kim said after a minute.
"What do you want?" Phineas snarled.
"Nothing really," Kim replied. "I'm just here to make sure you don't kill Isabella before Halloween."
"Ha," Phineas couldn't contain himself. "Believe me, she's more likely to kill me before Halloween."
"Well, that is the job of the Black Tiger who bit you to protect you until you reach the zenith of Halloween Night," Kim said smartly.
"Oh come on," Phineas complained. "We're Black Tigers, do you really think that they would watch over me?"
"Not in the slightest," Kim only managed to say before Ferb, Isabella, Buford, Baljeet, and the Fireside Girls came rushing out the front door, staring at Kim.
