(Disclaimer: I don't own P&F.)
Phineas's POV (Setting: Flynn-Fletcher's backyard)
I started to think how I'll talk to Isabella about it.
But it would be hard for me if Izzy keeps getting away from me.
Last night, Candace said that Izzy backed out in the make-up contest and Diana will replace her. I tried to call her but she won't answer her phone. I went to her house but Mrs. Garcia-Shapiro tells me that she went with the Fireside Girls. I talked with her troop members but they didn't know what happened with Isabella.
Maybe she doesn't want to see me anymore. Oh no, what I'm gonna do now? Maybe I'll gonna transport myself to Pluto or Neptune or Jupiter or somewhere else. That would do it.
Or maybe-
"Phineas! Time for the practice!" Candace shouted from the backyard.
"Yah, I'm comin'!" I replied.
I went inside the house and I saw Diana at the stairs.
"Hey Phineas." She greeted me with a smile.
"Hi Diana. Why are you…" I said.
"Here? We're gonna do the last minute practice for the make-up contest tomorrow." She told me.
"Oh… right…" I trailed off.
"Let's go, slow pokes!" I heard a familiar voice.
"Your name is Stacy, right? The girl who fought with that Wendy girl?" Diana asked Stacy.
"Yep, it's nice to meet you, Diana." Stacy said as she shook hands with Diana.
"We need to prepare for the tomorrow's contest!" Stacy reminded us.
"Yeah, I almost forgot about that! Come on, Phineas!" Diana said.
"Oh, okay." I said. I'm not in my good and optimistic mood now.
"Are you okay, Phineas?" She asked.
"Yeah, perfectly fine, if you ask." I replied.
"Are you thinking about what happened yesterday?" She asked me again.
I looked away. "It's not about that…"
"Phineas…"
"Oh, there you are, you two." I heard Candace's voice. "Let's go and practice!"
"Okay!" I tried to put enthusiasm on my voice.
As me and Diana went to Candace's room, I blinked at Candace.
Thanks, sis. I thought.
She blinked at me like she reading my thoughts.
As we started to dance, I heard Stacy's worried voice.
"Oh Candace, what if we lose that contest? Wendy might insult you again! She might make your life miserable! She might-"
Candace put her hand on her mouth. "If you don't shut up, I'll slap your head out of your neck!"
Stacy went silent. Diana and I snickered a bit.
As I think again of Isabella, we stopped dancing.
"Uh… why we stopped dancing?" I asked Diana.
"We didn't stop." She replied.
She's right. We're still dancing, but in a slow way.
"What are you doing?" I asked her.
"Doing the 'slow-mo' moment." She answered.
"What?" I said. "You believe in the 'slow-mo' moment?"
"Yes. If we did this again, maybe we could get back to normal. No fighting… no arguing…" She said.
What the heck. Why did I make this mess?
"Phineas?"
I heard Diana's voice all over my thoughts. As I got back in my senses, I saw Stacy and Candace, staring at me.
"Phineas, are you really okay?" Candace asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Maybe you're really tired. Find some rest; I'll need Diana for the make-up practice."
I just nodded in response. I left the room and started thinking. I tried to call her again but she doesn't answer.
I started to worry about her…
Isabella's POV (Setting: Isabella's room)
Before I went into sleep, I looked again at the necklaces. Now Phineas knew about my crush on him, I'm trying to decide if I give the other necklace.
If I gave this to him, there is a possibility that he accept it…
Or reject it.
I sighed. I loved him but… I can't hurt Diana. She's not only my cousin, she's is like my sister to me.
I heard my cell phone ring again. I assumed it's Phin who's calling.
I cried again. All I had ever done is crying.
Then I fell into sleep.
I found myself standing in front of Flynn-Fletcher's house and I saw my younger self playing with the young Phineas.
Wait a moment. I remembered this day. It's my 13th birthday.
"Hey Phin! Are you not tired yet?" I heard my young voice.
"No, why did you ask Izzy?" The young Phineas asked.
"I'm tired." She replied.
He laughed. *swoons* I loved his laugh.
"Obviously." He said while laughting.
My younger self gave him a bad glare and her face turned light. "So… do you forget something?"
"Huh?"
"I said… do you forget something important?" She asked again.
"Nothing." He said happily.
"Oh." Her face went sad.
"Did I forget something?" He asked.
"I don't know." I said to him with my annoying voice.
"Izzy, is there something wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong, Phin." She said to him. "Nothing."
Long pause.
"Oh, I remembered!" Phin exclaimed.
My younger self's face lightened a bit. "What is it?"
"I need to get some materials and tools for the big contraption!" He said to her.
"Is… that so?" She became low again.
"Yeah. So, see you tomorrow!" He said.
"See you tomorrow." She said to him as she went home.
I sighed. "I think this is another normal day for me and for Phineas the Oblivious." I muttered jokingly.
And the scene changed. I found myself sitting with my younger self. I heard her crying.
"Why? Why he didn't remember my birthday? He is my best friend, he should know my birthday! It's okay for me if he doesn't have a gift or anything, but it's not okay for me if he forgot my special day… He should…" And she sobbed.
I tried to comfort her but my hand just passed through. I almost forgot that this is only a dream.
And I heard something. She picked up her cell phone.
"Hello Phineas?"
"Hey Izzy, what'cha doin'?"
She smiled and sniffled. "I'm just planning for tomorrow's activity. Why did you call, Phin?"
"Isabella, are you crying?"
"No. Wait a second, I'm the interrogator here!" She said.
He chuckled. "Sorry. I'm just wanna seek your help."
"And why?"
"Because you're the only girl I know who can do this."
"Didn't you forget that you're the boy of possibilities?" She asked.
"Isabella, please?" He pleaded. "I know you can do this."
He wants me to help him? I heard my younger self's thoughts.
"Okay, I'll go there." She said.
"Oh, thanks Isabella!" Phin exclaimed and he hung up the phone.
My younger self prepared her outfit and went out of the room. I followed her downstairs.
"Mom, I'm gonna go at Phineas's house!" She shouted.
"Okay Isa, just be careful!" Mom shouted back and my younger self and I went outside.
As we ran, I saw her smiling.
"I'm so excited! I wonder what kind of help he wanted from me…"
As we entered the backyard, I sensed that something's not right. I didn't remember this one because… I don't know why but I didn't remember this anymore.
Maybe this dream will help me remember this one.
"Phineas? Where are you?" She shouted.
No response.
"Phin? I'm here! You said that you want help?" I said.
No response again.
I looked again to my surroundings.
Oh no, you've got to be kidding me!
There's a man holding a sack and a towel.
I know what happening around here.
"Isabella, run!" I shouted to my younger self but she couldn't hear me.
I tried to protect my younger self but the man passed through.
"No!" I shouted.
But I was too late. He caught her.
And the scene shifted.
"NO!"
Oh no! What happened to the young Izzy? And who's the mystery kidnapper?
To know about the answer, find out in the next chapter of "Must Be Love"!
I'll be updating this story tentatively by Friday or Saturday, so stay tuned for more!
And don't forget to review!
