I have a little warning to go over first, if you haven't read the original story already, then don't. It will ruin all the improvements I made, or to clarify; this story is better if you don't know what's going to happen. Meaning for those of you who do know what's going to happen, don't spoil it. And now for the one review for this chapter.

Cute as a button22: So you don't like Rica that much. I got that a lot when writing the original, I got that even more after this chapter came up.

(Phineas's POV)

As I took another look at my schedule I let out a silent moan. "Aside from lunch I have only one class with Ferb and that's not until the end of the day." I said to myself. I shook my head and too another look my first class of the day, I moaned again upon seeing it. "I have History's first." History was probably my least favorite subject. I shook it off and headed to the class room.

When I got inside I took a quick look around. I was half not paying attention, but when I saw a familiar face my heart skipped a beat."Rica?" I said quietly to myself. She was sitting at one of the front tables looking looking through her backpack. When I saw that there was an empty seat right next to her, I acted on impulse and took it before another complete thought passed through my head.

"Hello again." I said as causing her to look up from her backpack. "Looks like we have our first class together." She quickly turned to look at the front of the class room while turning her eyes to look at me every now and then. "Are you alright?" I asked.

She responded a few moments later in a whisper so soft that I almost couldn't hear her. "I-I'm just … shy."

"Well why's that?" I asked.

"You see I'm new here and well … I never really was that good at … making conversation, which really didn't help with making friends." She said as she slightly turned towards me.

I let out a silent laugh. "This isn't the first time I met someone who had trouble making friends."

She tilted her head slightly. "Really?"

"Yeah, I once met a guy that was so depressed and antisocial that you would think he was an actual zombie."


(Erick's POV)

I was sitting down in science lab when I let out a sneeze so hard that my glasses fell of.

"Mr. Tribulationis-Factorem, would you mind using a tissue next time?" The teacher asked.

"Sorry, must be allergies." I said as I pulled a tissue out of my backpack.

My lab partner looked at me and laughed. "Or someone's talking about you behind your back."

I looked at her then back to my lad book. "Yeah right Kristen, who would be talking about me?"


(Phineas's POV)

"Did that really happen?" Rica asked as she put her backpack down.

"Yeah, it didn't go so well at first but in the end everything turned out fine."

She turned her head away from me while still looking at me, "You know, it doesn't sound like you have the best track record."

"I'm sure everything will turn out fine, I mean what could possible go wrong?" I said with a smile. She started to blush, which was probably a result of her shyness. I ignored it and wrapped my arm around her shoulder, "Don't be shy, I promise that I'll be here for you as long as you need me." She blushed even more but that wasn't my immediate concern. When I put my arm around her my heart rate picked up, I felt warmer, but most of all I felt this strange need to kiss her, What is this feeling?

She gave me a nod as the teacher walked in. "Which reminds me, I don't like history that much." I whispered. She let out a small giggle as the teacher started talking.

"Okay class here's how I will be taking attendance, I will give you each a note card, and on that note card I want you to write your name, what you want me to call you or your nickname, what you expect to get in this class over the year, and something interesting about yourself." She handed the note cards out to everyone and we all quickly got to work.

I wrote down my name twice (because I want to be called by my name), that I expected to get at least a B (I might not like it, but as of yet none of my classes have been a real challenge for me), and that I am an inventor. She went over the cards, marked some stuff on her attendance sheet, and started class.


(After class)

After class was over I decided to make some quick talk with my new friend Rica. "So what class do you have next?" I asked her.

"Next class I have study skills, followed by ... Gym." She whispered.

I stood in shock for a second. "May I look at your schedule?" She looked at me curiously for a moment then handed to me. After I looked it over a few times my suspicions were confirmed, "We have every class together but English and our elective."

She stood there in shock then let out a small smile. "That's … just … well… can we walk to our next class together?" She asked with a hopeful look in her eye's.

I took her hand and gave her a smile. "Of course Rica" The feeling of warmth returned and it stayed with me for a longer time than before.


(Before lunch)

The class I had before lunch was English, otherwise known as one of the two classes I don't have with Rica, and all throughout english, the feeling of warmth had been replaced with a feeling of uncomfort and cold. What is happening to me? I thought as I started walking to lunch.

When I reached the lunch room I found my brother and Django and made my way over to them. "So how is your first day so far?" I asked taking my seat next to my brother.

Ferb pulled out a sandwich and sighed. "It was as I expected, not fun, and I'm really upset that I shared 3 classes with Irving. Thank god he's not in our lunch"

I laughed and turned to Django, "How about you Django?"

Django looked up from his lunch box, "Same as Ferb, minus the part about Irving."

I was about to laugh again, but I noticed Rice just walked in the lunch room, "Rica, over here!" I shouted. She looked over at us and made her way over taking a seat right next to me.

"Rice, this is Django, and you remember Ferb, right?"

"Hi." She said weakly.

"Hello again." Ferb said as he gave her a wave.

"Nice to meet you." Django said as he took a bite of his sandwich.

As the lunch period continued we started to discuss the plans that we had for the weekend. "Like I said before Ferb" I started, "I think that we should hold off on anything really big until more people are free to join us."

"Then what should we do this weekend?" He asked me with a lazy look. "I mean it's our first weekend away from this place and I want to spend it enjoying myself, not sitting around doing nothing."

"There's a new movie coming out this Friday and I would really like to see it." We all looked to Rica slightly shocked that these were the first words that she spoke all conversation, "I mean … if everyone else wants to."

"That's a great Idea!" I shouted scaring the table next to us. "Ferb I know what we're gonna do this weekend!" Ferb just gave me a 'really?' look.


(At the start of woodshop (the class Phineas and Ferb have together))

The feeling of cold returned as I made my way to the one class that I have with Ferb but not with Rica. What is this feeling that I get when I'm with Rica? And why am I so cold when I'm not with her?'I decided to ask Ferb after class. As I got in I noticed that Django also had this class with us. "Hey Django what are you doing here?" I asked him.

"Well …" He started "I wanted to take another art class but all of them were taken except this one."

"Well that's cool." I said as the teacher walked in. "It'll be just like a little slice of summer."

Ferb gave me an uneasy look. "You are really too happy about school, you know that?"

I sighed and looked over at some of the tools. "I guess I'm just in a good mood is all."


(After class, at Ferb's locker)

Ferb was getting his stuff out of his locker as I was leaning up against the locker next to it thinking back to how the day went. All the teachers did that note card thing, Rica and I would always sit next to each other, she would always blush when I would talk to her, Irving would never stop talking in the one class that Rica and I had with him, and how the pre-algebra teacher said he was going to assign homework every day. I really wasn't looking foreword to that.

When Ferb was finally done with his locker I decided to ask him about the feeling that I got when I was with Rica, "Hey Ferb can I ask you something?" He looked to me with a 'What?' look, "Well the thing is … for most of the day … well …"

"Something the matter?" He asked.

"Well ..." I began. "I don't really know if something's the matter but … well … I … it's kinda like ..."

"Spit it out already." He said in an annoyed tone.

I took a deep breath and calmed started slowly, "I keep getting this feeling of warmth and comfort around Rica, and I keep getting this feeling of cool and depression when she's not around. What's wrong with me?"

Ferb didn't answer right away he just stared at me with his eyes wide open "Phineas … do you really not know what that feeling is?"

I shook my head. "I've been wondering about it all day. I like it but I'm kinda worried."

He sighed and looked me in the eye. "Phineas … I don't really know how to say this but … you're in love."


And once again, I've sent Phinbella shippers into a tantrum. It was such a good feeling the first time and the second time and the third time that I just couldn't help myself.
