I forgot one small detail on the last chapter. During their slurping with their half straws their noses were touching and they got a little distracted with some eye contact. A few seconds were wasted but they made it anyway. Now back to the story! Read, Review, and Enjoy!
P.S. I now have 23 followers and 11 favorites thanks to you guys. I don't know if it's a lot but who cares! It's still progress! I have a goal to get at least near 80. Hopefully I do.
Legend: The "-" between the words means that they are supposedly no spaces there but I just added it to prevent any damage to your photoreceptors :D. (that means eyes BTW.)
Chapter 6 "Wrestle A Bully Patch"
Phineas POV
After a quick rest at the parlor and a little chit chat with Coltrane, who winked at us for doing a great job, we were given a trophy and the gift certificates for Candace at the awarding ceremony. We felt really ecstatic about doing our next patches after winning that challenge and achieving Isabella's patch. I mean literally! We're really ecstatic!
"U-uh Ph-Phineas? I-i-is it me or are you fe-feeling an earth-th-k-quake c-coming?"
"I-I kinda fe-feel it too. It do-doesn't fe-feel like an ea-earth-th k-quake. It fe-feels like-ke i-it's com-ming from m-me."
"Oh really? Feels funny! It's-like-you're-being-zapped-continuously-by-elec tricity-that-doesn't-want-me-to-stop-and-why-are-w e-even-just-standing-here-I-mean-cant-we –do-the-next-patch-already-I-mean…"
"Woah-woah-woah! Slow-down-Isabella!"
"Well-I-feel-better-when-I-talk-like-this-and-Hey! -you-aren't-slowing-down-either-how-about-that?"
"Hey-you're-right!-I-wonder-why-it-feels-better-to -talk-like-this."
Just as we were walking faster than the normal pace on the sidewalk, we heard a familiar voice approaching us from the corner of the block.
"…and that my friend is called a sugar rush. I f you don't stop eating that super sweet tuff gum…"
"I'll be able to beat the record of the super fast wedgie of a lifetime and you're my first victim."
"*sigh* Buford."
"Ya said somethin' nerd?!"
"Nothing!" Nothing!"
"Hey Baljeet! Hey Buford!" we both said in unison.
"Woah woah! Slow down there!" said Buford.
"I-can't!-There's-a-sudden-impulse-that-makes-me-w anna-do-a-lot-of-stuff-and-talk-even-faster" said Isabella.
"Same here!-What-were-you-guys-talking-about?" I said.
"I was just telling Buford the meaning of a sugar rush and you my friends are demonstrating a perfect example by violently trembling and itching to do anything."
"Oh! Well-that-explains-it-perfectly!" I said.
"Why?" asked Isabella.
"We ate an entire tower of ice cream as tall as Candace. Ice cream contains a lot of sugar too you know."
"WHAT! YOU MADE A TALL ICE CREAM FOR YOU TO EAT AND YOU DIDN'T INVITE ME!?" shouted Baljeet.
"Or me!" said Buford.
"Woah woah! Easy-guys! We-didn't-make-anything-big-today. We-beat-a-record!" I said.
"Really?! Which one?" asked Baljeet.
"The "Crazy Ice craze challenge" record. I think that's what it's called" said Isabella.
"What?! You beat 15 minutes?! That's stupendous!"
"Whatever that means" Said Buford.
"Hey! That reminds me! You're perfect!" said Isabella.
"Wha-? Me?!"
"Yeah! You're-perfect-for-my-"Wrestle-a-Bully-Patch!" she said at a very fast rate.
"What?"
"She-said-you're-perfect-for-her-"Wrestle-a-Bully- Patch!" I said.
"What?!"
"I think they said you're perfect for her "Wrestle a Bully Patch." Am I right?" said Baljeet
"Yes!" we said in unison.
Isabella pulls out her manual and turns to the page where the description of the patch is found.
Patch # 495 "Wrestle a Bully Patch"
Instruction: Challenge a Bully in a wrestling match and beat him fair and square.
Goal: Show em who's boss. Also it's to give some inspiration to those who can't fight back.
"Woah! No way! I ain't hitting a girl!"
"What's-the-matter? Afraid-you'll-lose-again?"
"Almost didn't catch that but NO! I AINT AFRAID OF YOU GIRLY! IN FACT NONE OF US BULLIES ARE AFRAID TO GIVE A GIRL A WRESTLING MATCH! Wait! That gives me an idea!"
"What is it?" I asked
"Well I've been working hard by bullying the other kids in town but them bigger bullies always push me back as playground bully rather than city bully! There's Russell, There's Ricky, there's…."
"Better pick up the pace here!" she said desperately.
"HEY! NO ONE CUTS ME OFF LIKE THAT!"
"Not now Buford!" I said pleadingly.
"ARGHHH! Fine! If you beat those big guys on a wrestling match at the bully gym in the "googolplex mall", it will eliminate my competition and you can earn your patch."
"Why can't I just wrestle you?"
"One good thing about Buford is that Buford never hits the ladies. That means you girly."
"Oh! Fair enough. C'mon Phineas let's go!"
She grabs my hand and we hastily run to the mall.
Baljeet's POV
"Buford never hits the ladies? When did you become a gentleman?"
"What! It's true! Besides if Brigitte found out if I had a match, she'd either laugh at me or get angry with me."
"Oh! So the bully has a brain after all."
"Are you sayin' I'm stupid?"
"What! No I…"
"Grrr…!"
I'm not going to wait for him to take my underpants. RUN!
"Aaahhhhhh!"
"Hey! Come back here and let me give you a wedgie!"
(at the mall…)
Isabella POV
We got there pretty fast actually. Maybe we took about less than 10 minutes. I'm actually thankful for being in a sugar rush state. I just hope that I would be able to get out of this state before the day ends because I miss the normal speed.
Now that I'm at the mall, where is that gym? Nope not in this corner. Not in this alley either. Nope not here…
"Isabella wait!"
He pulls my arm and we screech to a stop.
"Can I borrow ARChie for a while? I'm gonna make some improvements."
"Sure!"
I lend him ARChie then he dashes to the camera store nearby. It's like he just window shopped at the store because he immediately came back as soon as he came in.
"Alright I'm back!"
"Well that was fast! What did you do there anyway?"
"I just upgraded ARChie. It can now be activated as action mode. When activated, it will independently take shots of what it thinks is good. Like for example…"
He turns on ARCHie and suddenly he… PUTS AN ARM AROUND ME? He puts his ecstatic smile and ARChie makes a flash. The hologram shows a Phineas smiling and me in my confused and shocked expression.
"Phineas! I wasn't ready!" I poke him on the tummy.
"Woah Haha! Okay that's enough."
"What? You mean this?" I poke him again.
"Yess-ss That!"
"Yes? This? Umm… Okay!" I wiggle my fingers ready to attack him.
"No no no! Isabella…."
Too late! I kept poking him and wiggling my fingers in his tummy and he couldn't stop laughing and backing away. ARChie kept on making flashes like a paparazzi. Suddenly Phineas pokes at my right underarm.
"Ahh! Okay okay! I'll stop!"
We gave one last giggle of "messing around." He points a finger to the direction behind me and we see a sign that says "Wedgie's: The Gym for Bullies."
"Wait! Are you really sure you want to do this?" says Phineas.
"Well Buford didn't want to so I guess I don't really have much of a choice."
"But you heard Buford. These are the bigger guys. They might be even stronger than Buford. I mean what if you got hurt or something."
"Don't worry. I'll be fine. You don't have to go in if you don't want to."
"What!? And leave you there? No way!"
"Good! Now let's go!"
"Okay! Just be careful."
"You too!"
Phineas POV
All I could smell from that place is gym socks, sweat, and a bunch of odors that you smell in a school gym but 5 times worse. As soon as we entered the gym all of the guys stopped doing their training and stared at us in surprise. Awkward silence filled the room but soon Isabella was trembling again. She looked at me with fear then we together stepped backwards.
"Hehe! Wrong gym!" she said.
We continued walking backwards until we bumped into a couple of big kids blocking the exit.
"Where do you think you're goin'?" said the kid on the left. (He looks like Guile from Street Fighter except that he has a round head with a flat top. He ain't that muscular.)
"I…Iii…"
I held her shoulder. "I'm here."
She looked at me and nodded. She took a deep breath and stopped trembling.
"I hear by challenge one of you guys to a wrestling match!"
The whole room gasped.
"You're not one of 'em fireside girls are you?"
"Well yes, yes I am!"
"Perfect!" the same kid joins his left hand with his right fist.
"Wait! Why are you curious that she's a fireside girl?" I asked.
"Because a fireside girl recently came here and beat one of my pupils."
He points at a kid slightly smaller than him crying at a bench. (I'm going to depict him as the one who said "That was Awesome!" in the Pilot episode a.k.a. Roller Coaster.)
"Poor Ricky. The name's Russell and you're goin' down."
"Who was the fireside girl that beat him?"
He shudders. "Adyson Sweetwater."
"Wow!" we said in unison.
"Enough chit chat! Ready to rumble?"
"Yeah!" she said.
Adyson defeated one of the big guys? Cool! If she can do it, that means Isabella can do it too! I can't say that I wasn't nervous though.
We were all taken to the wrestling ring in the middle of the gym. The bullies went to Russell's side of the ring while I, the remaining audience, was at her side. I was her "coach" in the ring. "Coach" because I didn't really do anything but give her some water and massaged her shoulders a bit. I always see that in a boxing match so I figured that it was the same in a wrestling match with the ring being the same and all.
"Bell starts in 10 secs!" said Ricky.
I went out of the ring before the bell could start.
"Okay Isabella! You can do this."
"Thanks Phineas!"
*Ding*
As the bell rings Isabella and Russell start circling the ring waiting for each other's move.
"Once I'm done with you, I'm gonna give that Adyson some payback time!"
"You'd hit a girl? Wow. I guess there is something good about Buford."
"How'd you… Wait! You're one of his friends who turned him soft aren't you?!"
"I didn't turn him soft. He just became nicer."
"Ugh! You disgust me! Don't even describe him or utter even a word about him here! You are so going down!" he does a thumbs down and he charges.
She hesitated for a second but she did a somersault over Russell before he could even tackle her. I was like Woah! She might become a great cheerleader in the future.
"Huh? Where'd you go?"
He looks around but before he could look up Isabella lands on the back of his head.
"OW! GET OFF ME!"
"Woah!" she said
Isabella tries to balance herself but she soon tips from Russell's shaking head and falls on the bouncing floor. Before she could even recover, Russell was already at the top of a ring post.
"Isabella look out!"
Russell jumps out of the ring post and does a figure mimicking a plane. Isabella looks at Russell and quickly rolls away. Russell does a full body slam upon impact, strong enough to make Isabella jump back to her feet. That didn't slow him down though. As he got up, he charged at Isabella again. This time Isabella dodged to the right and he went straight for the ropes. The ropes pulled him back and Isabella took advantage of that by tossing him to the direction of the ring post.
"Yeah!" I said as I tossed my arms up but I quickly took it back as the bullies glared at me.
"Oh you're going to pay for that!"
He charges at Isabella again and she dodges again. He then starts punching her but she dodges every blow. Wait he'd really hit a girl! Why that jerk! I looked at my body and it was trembling with anger and the remaining effects of the sugar rush. Ever since we arrived at the gym I could feel it was about to wear off. I looked at the ring again and as she dodged the last punch she was grabbed by the back of her collar and tossed to the other side of the rope.
"Aaahhh!"
"Isabella!"
As she was pulled back by the rope, Russell charged at her again. But after she was bounced back she slid under Russell and grabbed his foot, causing him to trip. She got on the back of Russell with the foot still in her hands. Surprisingly the crowd from the other side gasped.
"No! Not that please! Uncle! UNCLE! I GIVE!"
And there goes the bell.
Everyone was shocked in the room, even her. I hardly even heard the bell as soon as it rang. I just stood there stunned by Isabella's performance.
"That was the same move Adyson used against me when I lost!" said Ricky.
I gave applause but then I cheered for her like the time I was riding the 2nd booby trap in my search for the mummy. I was the only one cheering in fact but I didn't really care. She finally got off Russell and I ran up to her and gave her a hug.
"Oh Isabella! I knew you could do it!"
Isabella POV
He… HE WAS HUGGING ME! Much like a bear hug actually. He didn't grab my neck though but WHO CARES! I was the one instead who grabbed him by the neck.
"Thanks Phineas!"
I heard a small noise like a chopper coming by. I let go of Phineas and found ARChie floating above making a flash. As soon as I turned around ARChie made another click and the bullies, including Russell, were bowing down like Chinese.
"We would gladly like to become your apprentices in wrestling." Said Russell
"Oh! No thanks! I just came here for the patch! Great match by the way!"
"PLEASE!" he pleaded.
"Uh no thanks!"
I nudged Phineas and whispered "Let's get out of here!"
He nodded and we got out of the ring but we heard a thud from behind us and saw Russell on the floor.
"Oh PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!"
The other bullies were now crawling on their knees with pleading hands as we were backing away to the exit. I gave a taxi whistle and opened my satchel for ARChie to enter. As soon as ARChie entered, we dashed out of the gym with the effects of the sugar rush still on us. We ran as far as we could but the bullies chased us. We soon outran them as they got tired.
"I guess that means I'm gonna get my Running with the Bullies Patch again!"
"That means we have 4 left right?"
"Nope. The achievement requires 500 different patches remember?"
"Oh! That's right."
We ran to a corner and finally the effects of the sugar rush wore off. Phineas took a peek from the direction we came from.
"I think we lost them."
"Good."
We both gave one last exhale.
"That was one awesome match Isabella! I never knew you could fight like that!"
"Well the fireside girls were trained for self defense."
"Oh okay. Still. It was a great match."
"Thanks Phineas."
"Maybe I could've beaten you if I was your opponent."
I give a smirk. "Really?"
He smirks back. "Yeah. Everyone has a weakness. Even you."
"Oh yeah? And what is that?"
"This." He pokes at right hip.
"Aahhh!"
"And this." He pokes at my left armpit.
I poke at his tummy again. "Woah! O-okay. I'll stop."
I give him one last smirk and one last giggle together and we walked towards the center of the mall.
"You know? I couldn't have done all these patches without you Phineas."
"Awww. Well the day hasn't ended yet and we still got 5 more patches to go."
More time for patches. More time for Phineas.
"Right." I said.
"I wonder what our next patch is. Let's take a break first."
"Okay."
-End of Chapter 6-
