If you read the review of esmeblaise then this is my response.
esmeblaise: Phineas and Ferb were the ones who broke the world record. Isabella didn't help build it. Thus she didn't earn the patch.
Anyway Read, Review and Enjoy!
Trivia: Bucky is the beloved dog of Phineas and Ferb…. Until he died. According to Phineas, he was buried in the backyard. Now his remains are displayed in the Danville Museum. That's cannon info BTW.
Chapter 12 "The First Kiss Patch… Again."
(At the Flynn-Fletcher house.)
Isabella POV
"Thanks for the very delicious juice Mrs. Flynn-Fletcher." I said.
"You're very welcome Isabella. Pie will be ready in just a few moments." said Mra. Flynn-Fletcher.
"Okay."
Wow! That orange juice really cured my aching throat! And boy I can't wait for pie! I head to the living room and Candace and Ferb were watching TV.
"Uhh… Where's Phineas?" I asked.
"I don't know." said a dull Candace.
"Ferb?" I asked.
He points his thumb to the backyard.
"Thanks."
I opened the sliding glass door that leads to the backyard. There was no one in sight.
"Where could he be?" I asked myself.
"Hehe!" *Leaves ruffling*
Huh? It seems to be coming from the tree. I moved closer to the tree and I could see a hint of his T-shirt. I went under the tree and I saw Phineas sitting on a branch holding ARChie.
"There you are!" I said.
"Oh hey Isabella!"
"Watcha doin?"
"Hehe! Hey! You finally said your catchphrase!"
"Huh?"
I thought about when was the last time I said my catchphrase. I then realized it's been a week.
"Oh yeah!" I said.
"Yeah. I really missed that."
"Awww. Anyway, Watcha doin?"
"Hehe! Climb up and sit here with me."
Wait… him… me… ON A TREE?
"Ummm… Okay." I said.
Well I was a little excited to be beside him so I climbed up the tree as fast as I could. Well it's a good thing I achieved my rock climbing patch or I wouldn't be able to make it as fast. I sat down beside Phineas and he showed me the different photos that ARChie shot. I think he was showing me his favorites because he wasn't showing them in order. I couldn't help but giggle at what we've accomplished today.
"Well that was a lot of fun." I said.
"It sure was. Which was the best part?"
"Umm.. I'm going to say it was the "date"" I emphasized the word "date"
I think he broke into a trance because he shook himself awake… or he's daydreaming about something.
"Isn't that part of everything we did today?" he asked.
"It was technically what we did today."
"Hehe! Right."
"So what's yours?"
"Well… I'll have to say that it's the "date" as well."
"So you really liked what happened today?"
"Yeah… it really brings back memories."
"Memories? Like what?"
"Oh you know. When we were still 4. Before Ferb came along. When I first met you."
"Oh… Go on! Tell me more!"
"Let's see. You came in our backyard shyly and you said you wanted to make some friends. I introduced myself to you and you introduced yourself to me. And you know what happened?"
"Hehe! Bucky chased me."
"Yeah! I guess he really liked you when you came in so he chased after you. That tire swing behind us…" he points behind me.
"Yeah?"
"…I used that to save you but instead you pulled my arm too hard and I fell out of the swing."
"Hehe! HEY! YOU STILL REMEMBER?"
"Yeah! How could I not?"
"HEY! DON'T STOP!"
"Okay okay. Then I said…"
(Flynn-Fletcher Back yard. 9 years ago.)
"Princess! We have to get back to our rocket ship and avoid the ferocious space dog!" said Phineas.
Wait! HE CALLED ME PRINCESS! Oh we're playing!
"Okay! Let's go Prince!"I said.
We ran towards the tire swing but suddenly Phineas trips.
"Ow!"
"*Gasp* MY PRINCE!"
"Don't look back! Save yourself!"
Well I had to do something to save him from Bucky so I went for the tire swing and swung myself towards Phineas.
"CHARGE!" I said while swinging.
I jumped off the tire swing and grabbed on Bucky's back.
"You will not touch him you monster!"
Then Bucky started spinning around and around trying to lick me.
"AAAHH! I'm trapped in a space dog vortex!"
"Ha! I'll save you!"
Phineas grabs on Bucky's back and joins the ride.
"OH NO! I'M TRAPPED AS WELL! AAAAHHHH!"
We held on Bucky's back for as long as we could but we eventually let go and lie down on the grass side by side laughing. Then Phineas looked at me.
"Looks like we're gonna be friend forever huh."
I smiled. "Yes. Yes we are."
Then Bucky pounces on the both of us and licks the both of us alternatively.
"AAAGGHHH! PRINCESS! WE'RE GETTING VENOMOUS DOG ACID ALL OVER US!"
"AAGGHH! WE'RE MELTING!" I said.
"AAAAAAGGGHHH!" we both screamed.
(Flynn-Fletcher backyard. Inside the tree.)
"Hahahahaha!" he laughed
"Hehehe! Wow! Until now we're still best friends."
"Yeah! From that day on you always visited me to play with me and Bucky. We did tons of imaginary adventures back then. We even came up with our own stories. But you always liked to be called Princess."
*Sigh* He still remembers.
"A lot of the things that happened today reminded me of those days. Start The Harlem Shake Patch reminded me of cheering up Bucky whenever he felt down." He continued. "Or that time when we ate the biggest ice cream we ever had during my 5th Birthday."
"The first time we met Buford and I stood up to him for you." I said.
"Hey! Don't bring that back! That's embarrassing."
"Hehe! But I did save you. Right?"
"Hehe! Right! The times when I pretended to save your life in our stories. The time we got stuck on Candace's old tree house when we secretly borrowed it." He continued.
"Oh yeah! How did we get stuck?"
"You pushed the ladder down. We didn't know how to climb down trees that time."
"Hehe! What about the Haunted House? What did that remind you of?"
"… The time we lost our dads…. And Bucky…."
"Oh." The atmosphere of happiness suddenly died.
"When you lost your dad I visited you every day in your house to comfort you. There were even times you wanted to crawl out of bed unnoticed and wake me up on my room just to sit on the tree and talk about your dad and I would hug you if you started crying. Then came the time when I lost mine. We never stopped doing that ritual. Until Ferb came along and everything was back to normal."
"Enk! Wrong! Everything was not normal when Ferb came along Mr. Inventor."
"Hehe! We started building stuff after we lost Bucky."
"Yeah. We even had a funeral for Bucky."
"Yeah….. Anyway that's not my point. Those were our golden days Isabella! And we've experienced it again today. The only difference is that we did it in a whole new level."
"You know? I feel the same way."
"Well I don't know if you feel it as much as I do. What I felt after today was excited, and happy, and stupendous, and stupefied, and *sigh*. Well I guess what I'm trying to say is that, even though I haven't invented anything big today; this is one of the happiest days of my life."
"Aww. Mine too."
"Best part is that I got to spend time with my best friend and that she made this day possible… so thank you."
Oh…. My…. Gosh….. THAT WAS REALLY SWEET OF HIM! I CAN'T HELP IT! IF I WERE CHEESE, I WOULD'VE MELTED AS HE SAID THOSE WORDS. THOSE WORDS COMING OUT OF HIS MOUTH MAKES ME WANT TO KISS HIM SO MUCH….
"I-Isabella?"
"Hmmm?" I asked.
Huh? WAIT! WHAT AM I DOING?! I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS INCHES FROM HIM. I WAS ABOUT TO KISS HIM. I sat down properly on the branch. I can't believe I screwed up.
"I-I'm really sorry about that. I don't really what happened. I was just…. Ooooooohhhh!" I said.
"Hehe! Well I guess maybe… maybe…. just one?"
"No it's ok…. Wait! What?"
"Oh you know…. Just one."
Wait! He wants to kiss? Okay. It's already smoking hot in here.
"You…. You sure?" I asked.
"Yeah. We didn't get to kiss in the haunted house. Besides, what happened this morning was only an accident."
Oh…. My….. Gosh! This is it!
"On 3 okay?"
I smiled. "Okay."
"Okay. 1" He leans closer.
"2." I lean closer and we close our eyes.
"3." And *sigh*…. We kiss. I drift off to one of those Phineas-Land fantasies that I had in my mind. The beach was there. So was a pirate ship on the sea. We were just standing there on a rock while kissing and waves just kept on splashing on the rocks like there was a tempest.
Okay. It was a good 15-20 seconds of bliss. Well obviously I have to breathe. I can't really kiss him forever…. But I would if I was given the chance ;). Nothing makes this more perfect. I looked into his eyes and he looks into mine. He looks at his right and is staring at something. What is he staring at? I look to my right and there's a holographic image of our kiss seconds ago.
"Wha? How did you?"
"It was on countdown mode."
"Wha? Oooohhh!"
"Now you can show it to the fireside girls and you can be crowned as Senior Fireside Girl already."
"That's… right. Wow!"
"Congratulations Isabella. I'm really proud of you."
Wow! I can't believe he did that…. For me.
"Hey! Tha-"
I was about to say thank you but suddenly he looked a little down. No! He was sad.
"You ok?" I asked.
He grins "Yeah… I'm fine."
Obviously he's not. Did I do something wrong? Did I say something that hurt him? Well I don't really want to spoil my mood right now. I just continued looking at the photo.
Wow! Can you believe it? I got all 10 patches in one day. I just have to show everything to the girls tomorrow and I can become Senior Fireside Girl already. Wow! The best part is that I got to show what Phineas and I did… Phineas.
He's really such a best friend. This morning I woke up hopeless because of that Cheyenne jerk and now Phineas was there to rescue me and tell me that I could do it. He helped me pick myself up. In fact I wouldn't have done all of this stuff if it was for him….. Phineas. Best part is that he would've done anything for me…. Even a kiss.
A tear runs down my face. I know what to do. I took one last look at the kiss and tried my best to memorize each and every detail….. how it felt…. How it looked like…. Everything about it. There's an icon that I recognized at the bottom left so I pressed it.
"Delete photo?" asked ARChie.
Well… I guess this is it.
"Yes." I said.
Phineas gasped. The photo got crumpled into a piece of paper and it threw itself in the trash can.
"Bu-but Isabella. The Bonfire's tomorrow. What about your dream since you were 4? What about-"
I put my finger on his lips.
"True. I needed that as proof that I kissed you. But that's just it. I don't want any proof that I kissed you. I want it right here." I put my palm on my chest.
"But Isabella…."
"Everything you did today was really sweet of you Phineas. You stuck with me today for better or for worse. That kiss you shared with me seconds ago…. It isn't just something for show and tell you know. It was a precious moment and I wouldn't want to just give it away." I nudged him. "It's going to be our little secret. Okay?"
"Phineas! Isabella! Time for some snacks!" called Mrs. Flynn-Fletcher.
*Sigh* Just when things were just getting romantic. I wish I had more time.
"*Sigh* Well looks like your mom's calling us. Are you gonna be okay?" I asked.
He barely nods. He looks like he just saw a ghost or something.
"I'll take that as a yes. I better get down before- *Gasp*."
Wait! What just happened? OH! HE'S HUGGING ME BY THE NECK! Wait! Correction. HE'S BEAR HUGGING ME BY THE NECK!
"You're the best Isabella." He whispers on my ear.
*Sigh* OKAY. IF I WERE CHEESE…. OH NEVER MIND!
"*Sigh." It's time I returned the favor. "Thanks Phineas…" I hug him. "… for everything."
I don't care how much time we spent in there. It was still a very warm bear hug from him. Eventually we let go because you know…. Oxygen. He takes a look at the branch behind us and he gives me that "I know what we're gonna do today!" face.
"Let's go down the fun way." He said.
"Hehe! Okay."
We hop on the tire swing. Did we get bigger or did this thing get smaller? Well I'm pretty much sandwiched with Phineas so I don't care.
"Ready?" he asks
"Ready!"
He looks down and there's Perry and Pinky just playing on the lawn.
"Princess! There's a big quarrel between the Canine and the Monotreme! We have to stop them from hurting each other!"
"Hehe! Prince! Prepare for rocket launch in 3!"
"2!"
"1!"
We kick the branch "Whoooohoooo!"
Perry and Pinky noticed us say they get out of the way. The swing reached its highest point and we see a holographic image of our "launch". Pinky starts barking and starts chasing us.
"Princess! The canine and the monotreme are trying to attack us!"
"Oh! They look cute! Prepare the mechanical hands for capture!"
"Hands are functional!"
We both spread out our arms. We swing towards them.
"And… Gotcha! Mission Success Prince Phineas!"
"Great job Princess Isabella!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
I felt like I was 9 years younger. I looked at the 4 year old boy sitting next to me. We shared our last moment of laughter before…
"Phineas!" yells Candace from inside the house. "Mom called you a minute ago. Get in here! Bring in your girlfriend too!"
"Hey!" said Phineas.
"Candace. Stop teasing your brother."
"Well you better take a good look at them mom."
"Just eat your pie and go to your room when you're done."
"You are so busted when mom gets out there!"
"We're coming! We're coming!" said Phineas.
Well it's a good thought… for me. Phineas looks at me and… he laughs at me?
"Hahahaha! Your face is red again! Maybe your name should be Tomato Isabella Garcia-Shapiro from now on."
"Wha-" I covered my cheeks. "Hey! Well maybe your name should be Salsa-Dipped Dorito Phineas Flynn."
"Hey!" he nudges me.
"Hehe! And you know? If that face turns red again I'm gonna send you to a doctor."
"Wha-? Oh! Two-shay."
"The pie's getting cold kids!" called Mrs. Flynn Fletcher from inside the house.
"Coming!" he turns his attention to me. "Shall we?" he lends a hand.
"Yes! Yes we shall." I take his hand.
We walked to the house but we let go of our hands when we were about to enter. Well… it's still a secret.
-End of Chapter 12-
