Hi, so I've been having some family issues but hopefully everything will blow over. Aside from that tomorrow's my last final and I'm looking forward to freedom. I don't have much else to say aside from the fact that I would like to remind people that I am going to add extra chapters that I will be talking about in the end of the chapter, but for now, to the reviews!

Cute as a button22: She will make an appearance eventually but that's in three chapters. I've checked. And I know I'm cruel and I did love everyone's expression when they found out Rica's big secret … which I haven't talked about in this story yet … if you want it to be a surprise then don't peek at the original but I can promise you that this story will be better if you don't know what's coming.

Phineas81707: The first time was in my story 'The Love Ray' when Isabella get's hit by the love ray and sees Phineas unable to move, the second time was actually this story only in the original version which I don't recommend you read if you want this story to be good, and the third time was in my story 'Why?' where I just dropped a "Have a wonderful day (sarcasm) bomb on everyone causing great stress for so many people.

Thedoraemons7: … it get's better.

(Phineas's POV)

I looked at my brother as his words echoed through my head, 'you're in love' I stood in shock for a good few minutes as he lead me to the bus as I thought over what he said. "How? How can I be in love?" I asked him as we took our seats on the bus.

He looked at me then let out a sigh. "Phineas you're around that age when kids start falling in love. To be honest, I don't understand why it took you so long to fall in love with someone to begin with."

I looked out the window with Rica still on my mind. "Is it really okay to fall in love with a girl that I just met?" I asked.

Ferb looked away, I could tell something was bothering him, "Yes people can fall in love at first sight Phineas."

As Ferb talked it almost sounded like something was worrying him, "Hey Ferb? You don't seem all that happy that I fell in love with someone. Is there something wrong with me?"

Ferb's eyes popped open, "No Phineas, it's not that it's just … you should ask her out."

I tilted my head a little. "Really?" I asked. He nodded. "Well Ferb … I don't really know … I mean it's not like I don't like the idea of dating or anything, it's just …" I racked my brain for a reason NOT to date Rica, but all I could think of were things I liked about her. I found it cute that she was shy, she also seemed really kind, she is helpful when the teachers needed someone to hand stuff out, but aside from that I just felt this … strange connection to her.

"I honestly don't think that I can think of a reason to not date her Ferb" I went over the feelings I felt for her and slowly I hit the realization 'I was in love with Rica.'

Ferb tilted his head forward with his eyes closed, then looked at me and smiled. "If that's the case then you should take her on a date." I could tell that his smile was seriously lacking emotion, probably from the unpleasant day he had from school.

After a moment of silence I decided to ask him again, "Ferb, what's wrong? You seem like you're world has just been turned upside down."

He severed and looked away. "I'm fine bro." He said.

As the bus got to our house an unpleasant thought came to me.

"What If she says no?" I asked.

Ferb gave me a smile. "What if she was willing to say yes and you never ask her?" I laughed a little.

(Ferb's POV)

I can't believe that Phineas fell in love with a girl other that Isabella! What am I going to tell Isabella If Phineas and Rica hit it off? these thought and many more possessed my mind as I made my way over to my desk in our shared room.

'I should be happy for him, I mean he found someone that he deeply cares for, I mean with how friendly they were at lunch she must feel something for him' I pulled out my first day homework and started on the small amount that I was assigned. After a while I stopped as another thought came into my mind I promised Isabella that I was sure that Phineas would fall in love with her. I can live with the fact that I was wrong but how can I tell Isabella? She is going to be so sad (and probably violent) if she finds out that Phineas has fallen in love with another girl. I put my first day homework on hold then looked over to Phineas. Clearly he was deep in thought so I decided to ask people for advice. I turned on my computer and looked at who was online.

Ferb: Is anyone here? I have something important to talk about.

I waited for a few moments before getting a response.

Erick: Hey Ferb. What seems to be the trouble?

Ferb: Is anyone with you?

Erick: I share a room with Baljeet. He's online right now.

Baljeet: Hello Ferb, how was your first day.

Ferb: It was too bland, and had too much Irving in it, but that's not what I'm here to talk about. I need some advice.

Erick: The great Ferb Fletcher is coming to me and Baljeet for advice? I'm almost afraid to ask but … what's the crisis?

Baljeet: Oh don't be so melodramatic. I mean it's not like Phineas has fallen love with someone that's not Isabella.

I would have laughed if I wasn't so concerned

Ferb: Actually … that's exactly what happened.

There was a long pause

Erick: Hey Ferb two things 1. I now need a hearing aid and 2. Baljeet is hiding under his bed.

Ferb: Your hearing will come back in an hour or so, but right now I need advice on how to break it to Isabella.

Erick: Does this girl that Phineas is in love with love him back?

Ferb: I think so.

Erick: Is Phineas going to ask her out.

I paused before answering

Ferb: I told him to go for it.

Erick: Let Phineas tell her when she gets back, then you tell her that she waited to long. You did tell her to tell him a number of times right?

Ferb: Yes but I told her that I was sure that Phineas was going to fall in love with her.

Erick: If she told him than I'm sure that he would have returned her feelings, but she waited for … how long?

Ferb: Her whole life. She said she has been in love with Phineas for as long as she can remember from what I heard.

There was another long pause

Erick: Wow … that's a long time to keep something like that held in. She definitely waited too long, and it's definitely her fault.

Ferb: How can you be so nonchalant about this? Isabella's going to be sad and angry. Have you seen Isabella angry? It's not a pretty sight.

Erick: Do I sound nonchalant about this? I'm not, I'm merely stating the truth, which is that Isabella waited too long to tell Phineas how she feels and now she is probably too late. She has no one to blame but herself. And she shouldn't take it out on anyone else. (I am actually really concerned about this)

Ferb: So am I.

(Django has signed in)

Erick: But good for Phineas, he found someone that's he loves. Aside from the mortal terror of how Isabella's going to react to this, I'm really happy for Phineas.

Django: Wait, who did Phineas fall in love with?

Erick: Oh hi Django what's up?

Django: Don't change the topic. Who did Phineas fall in love with?

I was slow to respond, not sure if I should tell them her name

Ferb: Rica … Phineas and her share almost every class together.

There was another long pause before anyone responded

Django: You mean that shy girl that looked like Phineas's new best friend?

Ferb: That would be the one.

Erick: I'm sorry, but did you just say that she looked like Phineas's new best friend?

Django: Yeah.

Erick: Well I wouldn't want to be anywhere near Phineas or Rica when Isabella finds out.

Django: What specifically is the problem you are seeing?

Erick: If Phineas has replaced Isabella with Rica as his new best friend then Isabella's going to throw a fit like no other, aside from the fact that he fell in love with someone.

Baljeet: There's a lot of love going around today that it makes me lonely.

Django: Who else fell in love today?

Baljeet: Erick met a new girl in science lab and she's really pretty.

Erick: Baljeet, I'm not in love with Kristen so please stop spreading rumors.

Ferb: Kristen?

Baljeet: Yeah, she's one of our lab partners, her names short for crystal.

Django: Is she hot?

Baljeet: Oh, you have no idea, and what's more she seemed to be hitting on Erick threw the entire class.

Erick: I'm not in love with Kristen Baljeet.

Django: When are they going on a date?

Erick: I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH KRISTEN!

Django: I was talking about Phineas and Rica.

Ferb: I don't know I'll keep you posted. But right now I have to get back to some first day homework.

Erick: Alright then, see you later.

Django: Bye

I signed off, shut down my computer, and started on that homework that I was trying to ignore. I so hope this turns out well for Phineas and Rica

(Phineas's POV)

I had finished my homework and now was laying on my bed thinking of my new emotions, and as it turns out the more I thought about it the more I liked the idea. Me and Rica …well she is nice, maybe a little shy but that just makes her cute. Did I just think she was cute? … Ya I suppose I did. I'll ask Ferb if he minds me and Rica going to the movies alone this weekend and … no I shouldn't tell her yet, I mean I still don't know for sure if she likes me back so I'll hold off on that but … mymind kept on going through all these scenarios for Rica and I, that I almost didn't hear our mother call us for diner. Ferb and I rushed down the stairs and took our seats at the dinner table.

"So boys, how was your first day?" Our mother asked.

"Well Ferb didn't have it that good but I had a great day." I told her.

Our sister Candice who was already sitting at the table looked at me, "What made your day so good that you would actually say that you enjoyed school?"

I was about to give her a vague answer but Ferb beat me to the punch, "Phineas fell in love." I gave Ferb an annoyed stare.

"Oh that's so sweet." Our mother said.

Our father looked up from his newspaper. "What's her name?" He asked.

I looked back to the rest of my family and took a deep breath. "Her name is … Rica, we have almost every class together and I was planning to ask her to the movies this weekend." I looked over to Ferb who gave me a thumbs up signaling that he was okay with me going to the movies without him, then back to my family who was giving me a whole bunch of sweet looks. Needles to say it was a long diner.

Thee extra chapters that I'm going to add are going to fill up the time gap between Halloween and Thanksgiving. That's where the extra chapters are going to be and as you've noticed, I've planted the seeds of strife.
