So I managed to update today, yeah me. So this is the last of the chapters I have ready but I wasn't planing on posting any on the weekend so I have time. Now lets get to those reviews.

Ayahsad167: That's actually the reason I told people not to read the original, it will ruin this one. And thank you.

Thedoraemons7: Thank you … I think.

Cute as a button22: I won't PM anyone, don't worry. And Phineas is realizing that Isabella is making feel just as good as Rica, he feels nothing less towards Rica.

PFStories17: Sorry, I can't end it like that. But thank you for flowing the story.

JosephTheThird: Hmmmmm … why not both? Ha, as if.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything or anyone except Erick.

(Phineas's POV)

(The next Friday)

I was sitting down in pre-algerbra with my head in my hands, Why am feeling this? I thought. For the past week I have felt a constant stream of cold and discomfort which was made stranger by Rica's presence. Sure she made me feel better but it was … different.

"Phineas?" Rica asked. She sat next to me in every class we shared.

"Wa? Oh, I'm … fine … just … I don't think I'm feeling that well."

She tilted her head slightly. "Are you going to be okay?"

I sighed. "I'll be fine by the time the dance comes. You don't have to worry." I was scratching my ear, still a habit I had when I lied. Thankfully Rica still hasn't noticed.

"Well that's good, so I'll meet you about an hour before the dance starts?"

I looked up for a moment. "Shouldn't I pick you up at your house?"

She shook her head. "No, I want to ride with you and Ferb from your house."

I looked at her for a moment and shrugged. "Yeah, I guess."

I looked back at my note book then at the clock, Just a few more minutes till woodshop. I shook my head. I wanted this weird feeling I got around Rica to end. For the past week I've been trying to avoid her at every as much as possible. Not an easy task when she is in almost all my classes.

Finally after what seemed like forever, the bell finally rang signaling the end of class. I quickly packed up my things and helped Rica with hers. "Well, I guess I'll see you later today?"

She grabbed her backpack and looked at me. "I actually have to go shopping for a dress so I actually wont be seeing you until tomorrow."

I looked at her sadly then cracked a small smile. "Alright then, I'll see you before the dance."

I walked out of the classroom and over to woodshop. As I walked I the strange cramping sensation came back, Why am I feeling this? I thought, I love Rica with all my heart but … what is this? I shook the thought from my head and walked into the woodshop classroom. As I got in I saw that the teacher was not the same as always.

"Uh … just sign your name and find your seat." He said as he gestured to a peace of paper.

I did as he said and walked over to the table where Ferb, Django and I sat. "What's with the new teacher?" I asked.

"Sub." Django said as he leaned on his hand and looked out the window. "Look's like were in for a study hall today."

"Another? What's wrong with our teacher? He's been out every other week."

"Chemo, remember?" Ferb said as he opened his notebook. "His son is still recovering, things do look good though, he should be done by Christmas."

"Well at least that good news for someone." Django said again, only with apathy in his tone.

"What's up with you Django?" I asked.

He slammed his hands on the table which earned him a glare from the sub, "All Adyson will talk about is this Henry guy. She has called me up everyday when I get home from school just to brag and say how happy she is."

"Well maybe you should tell Adyson how you feel about her." I said as I opened my backpack.

He grasped his face in his hands. "She's in love with someone else."

"Yeah, but you should still tell her how you feel."

He drooped his hands and gave me an upper eyelid stair. "How would you feel if Isabella suddenly told you that she was in love with you?"

(Ferb's POV)

I looked up from my notebook and stared wide-eyed at Django, He did not just say what I think he said.

Phineas looked down for a moment and shook his head slightly. "It would probably just complicate my life more." He looked up and smiled. "Luckily I don't have to worry about that."

Django and I looked at each other for a second before I leered at him, he took a defensive pose then looked back to Phineas. "Look, Phineas, You have a girlfriend so you don't know what kind of position I'm in."

"Oh really?" Phineas asked as he looked back at him.

"You don't know what it's like to be in love with someone who's already dating someone."

"You don't know what it's like to be dating someone you're in love with and begin to question your feelings for others."

Django and I stared at Phineas questioningly, "Okay fine." Phineas yielded, "I've been getting this strange feeling when Rica's around. Now don't get me wrong, I still love her and that's still there, but I feel … cramped … almost like … somethings not right."

I stared at my brother in surprise. "You don't think that Django was right when he said that you should have fallen for Isabella instead of Rica, do you?"

He shook his head then sat up with a determined look in his eye's. "I'm not in love with my oldest and closest friend, if I was then that would complicate all of our lives so much more." He let out a laugh. "Even if I was then I would never cheat on my current girlfriend. If I did that then I wouldn't deserve either of them."

"Glad your so determined bro." I said as I folded my arms. "But determination alone isn't enough to get you through this. You should still find out for sure at least."

Phineas sighed and pulled out his notebook. "Well it could be worse for me. It could be worse for all of us."

(Erick's POV)

I was sitting down in the library with Baljeet and Kristen finishing up a lab report. Ever since the Halloween party I haven't been the same. It was when we were printing out the reports when Kristen finally decided to ask me about it. "Hey Erick?" She said as she took a seat next to me. "What seems to be the problem?"

Kristen was in fact the hottest girl in our school. And on top of that she wasn't one of those cheer leader types who only care about the way they look and putting others down. She was actually almost as good as me when it came to human biology.

When I didn't answer she turned her attention more towards me and asked again. "Erick, I know something not right with you so why don't you just tell me."

I sighed and shook my head. "You remember that friend of mine I told you about?"

She rolled her eyes. "Which one? You've told me about a lot of friends."

I paused for a moment before responding. "My first friend."

"Oh, you mean your girlfriend." She said in a semi teasing manner. Despite popular belief, Kristen did not have a crush on me. She's just naturally the flirtatious type.

I laughed a little and turned my attention to her. "Well, she's not my girlfriend … and probably won't."

She took a seat next to me. "What happened?"

"Well last Halloween … I asked her about this guy she's been hanging out with."

"Did you suspect this boy of being her boyfriend?" She asked.

"Yup."

She shook her head. "Then that was a dumb idea."

"Oh you have no idea." I said as I laughed. "She told me that the two of them are boyfriend and girlfriend."

"And what happened after that?"

I looked away. "She asked about you."

She sighed. "And what did you tell her?"

I looked down. "I told her … something really stupid."

"Specifics Erick." She said in an annoyed tone.

"I told her I was dating you."

"You know you were right." She said in an annoyed tone. "That was stupid."

I grasped my head in my hands. "I know." I said shamefully.

"Wait." Baljeet interjected. "You mean you two are not really dating?"

We both face palmed. "No Baljeet, for the hundredth time, we are not dating." I answered.

"Back to the matter at hand." Kristen began. "You need to tell her the truth." I sighed and looked down which caused her to get angry.

"Do you love her?" She asked.

I nodded.

"Do you want to be with her?"

I nodded again.

"Then you should tell her the truth."

"What? 'Oh Katie, I know that we've been friends for about a year now and even though you have a boyfriend I wanted to tell you that I've been in love with you for most of the time I've known you but I hope that this doesn't completely ruin our friendship because I don't know what I do without you?'"

Both Kristen and Baljeet looked at me a little scared. "Not in those words but … kinda?" Kristen answered.

I grasped my hair in my hands again. "What am I going to do?"

(Katie's POV)

I was on my way to watch a football game between our school and our rivals, 'the adjacent area middle school monkeys.' I didn't really like Football that much but my friend Jack was on our team so it felt like common curtsey to attend. I was at the field leaning against the fence watching our team warm up when I saw Jack going through his pre game warm up exerciser. He was the running back and the fastest person in the school by far. When he saw my against the fence, he walked over to me to greet me.

"Hi Katie." He said when he reached me. "Here to watch the game?"

"Yeah, I guess." I said meekly.

He noticed my lack of enthusiasm and walked a little closer to me. "Something the matter?" He asked.

I shook my head. "No, it's nothing. One of my friends is on the other team and … I guess I'm a little worried."

"You mean about me or him?" He asked.

I let out a giggle. "There are few people in this world who can go toe to toe with Buford and not wind up in a hospital bed."

"Well he can't possibly keep his hands on me long enough to cause any damage. I mean if your friend Erick can is one of those people then I should have no problem."

I let out a week laugh and turned around. "Yeah … no problem."

There was an awkward silence before he spoke. "Are you sure that's what's bugging you and not that lie you told him?"

I quickly turned back around with a surprised look on my face. "What lie and to who?" I asked quickly.

"The one you told Erick about the two of us dating." He said with an accusing tone.

"Oh … You know about that."

"YEAH! It's been going around the entire school only everyone else doesn't know that it's a lie." He lectured. "I've been having to tell people that I'm not dating you left and right." I looked at him shocked. "Now don't get me wrong, you are beautiful with many redeeming qualities, but I'm well aware of how deeply you feel for Erick."

My face turned red with embarrassment. "But … I … how …"

"Oh, come on. He's all you talk about most of the time. And ever since that rummer started going around you haven't made a single overly strange comment that makes people look at you like you have a second head or something."

I looked down. "Erick thinks there cute." I looked back up and smiled. "He said that it's because of my need to express what I'm thinking about and that I have a unique and active imagination."

He looked at me like I had a second head or something. "And that's what I'm talking about, completely random and yet somehow on topic." Now I looked at him like he had a second head. "You should have asked him to the dance instead of trying to make him jealous."

I shook my head. "He would have said no."

He looked at me confused. "And why's that?"

I sighed. "Because he already has a girlfriend."

He looked from side to side. "Well … if that's the case then would you mind going with me?"

I looked up in shock. "Why?" I asked.

He let out a nervous laugh. "Well I do like you somewhat and I don't really have a date myself so … I know that you and Erick are eventually going to end up together but … could you spare me this one?"

I sighed and thought it over for a few minutes. If I do this … Erick already thinks I have a boyfriend so what's the harm? I mean I'm not getting him any time soon. I looked back up. "Yeah, I'd be delighted."

So I have it focusing more on the other characters this chapter and the next one too. I do need to get to them as well so don't forget. In the last version I put a asked people to guess Rica's secret but unfortunately I have readers who have read the last story so they know what it is. You can guess if you want to though
