Hi, Short chapter, not much time. So lets just get to the reviews.

Thedoraemons7: Yeah I guess it does seem like that.

Cute as a button22: I could give a hint as to what Rica's secret is if you want it. As fr Katie and Erick, I don't actually know who is going to confess first.

Sabrina06: Well I hope you continue to enjoy it.

JosephTheThird: I don't really know how to respond to this but thank you all the same.

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

(Phineas's POV)

It was the night of the dance and there were only ten minutes left before Rica arrived. During which time I was pacing in my room with a hundred worries going through my head.

"Phineas." My brother said. "If you keep this up then you are going to wear a hole in the floor."

I sighed, walked over to my bed and sat down. "I know, I know. I'm just ..."

"Scared?" Ferb answered for me.

"Yeah I guess." I answered without a shred of certainty. The dance was semi formal so I was wearing a nice T-shirt and an appropriate pair of pants. Ferb was wearing something similar only his shirt was green while mine was orange.

"You know it's just a dance, it's nothing to be worried about."

"It's not the dance I'm worried about bro." I said as I leaned back and looked at the ceiling. "I just feel like somethings not right."

He looked at me strangely. "Maybe you should talk to Isabella."

I shot up and looked at him confused. "Why would I do that?"

"Because she's you closest friend other than me, maybe she can help you with whatever is bugging you."

"I don't think talking to Isabella right now is the best of ideas." I responded.

I waited for Ferb to respond but he just kept staring at me. Eventually I caved and turned on my computer. After it finished booting up I opened the chat and looked to see who was on. Unfortunately Isabella was not online.

"She's not on Ferb." I said as I turned to face him.

He pulled out his phone and held it up.

"You want me to call her?" I asked. Ferb nodded.

I sighed, pulled out my cell, and started dialing Isabella. "You know I still don't know why you want me to talk to her."

I hit send and started listening. "Hello?" I heard.

"Isabella, hi it's me Phineas." I responded in a happy tone. For some reason hearing her voice made me feel better.

"Oh hi Phineas. What'cha'doin?"

I laughed after hearing her say her catch phrase. "Oh just a little nervous about a dance and I was wondering if you could give me some advice or help or something to help with my nerves."

"You're going with Rica, right?" She asked.

"Yeah."

"Well I'm sure that everything will be fine. You just need to calm down."

"I wish it was that easy. She means so much to me and … I don't want to mess it up."

I heard a whimper of some kind come from the other line. "Isabella? You okay?" I heard it again only this time I could tell that she was crying for some reason. "Isabella what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"Oh … nothing, I just wish I could be there is all." I could tell that she was keeping something because I heard her cry again.

"Isabella, tell me the truth, what's wrong?"

"Nothing Phineas, just … the nervousness will go away, just have fun with your girlfriend." She hung up.

I looked at Ferb confused. "Why would Isabella cry?" I asked.

Ferb thought to himself for a moment before responding. "What did she say exactly?"

I shrugged. "She said she was sad that she couldn't be here but I could tell that she was hiding the real reason."

Ferb thought to himself again. "What did she say after that?"

"She said that I should have fun with my girlfriend, then hung up."

He paused. "What did she say when you told her that you almost forgot about her?"

"She said she's not angry and that she'll be here around thanksgiving break."

"Did she cry?" Ferb asked with a leer.

"I don't know, we were talking online." I said with a shrug.

Ferb face-palmed. "Then that's why she's crying, you forgot about her and nearly replaced her. I', surprised she hasn't balled her eyes out."

I turned my chair around. "I haven't forgotten about Isabella, I miss her so much and ..."

"You wanted to fill the void left behind when she left."

I turned back to face Ferb. "If that's the case then why did I fall in love with Rica and make her my girlfriend?"

Ferb looked away. "Maybe because Django was right."

I clenched my fists in anger but took a deep breath and let it out. "I'm not in love with Isabella. I told you that already."

"And how do you know that?" he asked. "You haven't seen her since before you hit the point where you started falling in love."

"There wasn't that much of a gap in time bro-"

"You went through a growth spurt, a voice change, and a few slight attitude changes between the time Isabella left and the time school started. Can you honestly tell me that if you saw Isabella right now then you wouldn't fell in love with her?"

I looked away. "She's just a friend."

Ferb leered at me. "She was your best friend, and from my point of view, not to mention Baljeet, Buford and Erick's, You seemed to be a little closer then best friends."

I opened my mouth to respond but two things stopped me. One was I had no counter to his statement. The other was the doorbell ringing.

Before Ferb could say anything I ran downstairs knowing that it was Rica who had arrived at the door.

When I got to the front door I threw it open and sure enough, there was Rica wearing a cute pink that ran below her knees. "Hi Rica!" I said the moment I saw her. Once again, I felt all my doubt wash away as she walked in.

"Hi Phineas." She said in her usual shy tone.

I wrapped an arm around her and directed her over to the living room seeing as we still had a half hour before we had to leave. As Ferb was walking down the stares, I noticed something off about Rica's eyes. "Hey Rica … have you been … crying?"

She looked at me with a surprised look. "No … I haven't anything to be crying about so why would I be crying?"

"Wait, Rica was crying?" Ferb asked as he made it downstairs.

"I haven't been crying." Rica said hastily.

Ferb walked overt to her and looked her in the eye. "Your eye's are slightly red, you've been crying about something."

"I'm nervous, okay!" Rica snapped. "I'm scared, I've never been to a dance before, not to mention that everyone seems to have it out for me for one reason or another."

I patted her on the back. "Don't worry about it Rica, no one has it out for you." I turned my attention to Ferb. "And you, how can you press her like that?"

Ferb recoiled in defense. "I didn't mean to, I sincerely apologize Rica."

She wiped her eyes and smiled some. "No, I should have just told you. I've been worried about this for some time and all so … I don't know how to react to all of this."

"Don't worry about it Rica." I said with a smile. "I'll be right here for you whenever you need anything."

Ferb sighed and walked away

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"I need to use the lavatory before we leave." He responded.

(Ferb's POV)

I was standing in front of the bathroom mirror thinking about how big of a mess this is. Phineas might have developed feelings for Isabella but Is currently dating someone else. Even if he has developed feelings for Isabella and I would like to see the two of them together, it is only right that Phineas stay with Rica … but then what am I supposed to tell Isabella? 'Hey Isabella, Phineas developed feelings for you while you were away but found someone else before you came back so he is currently dating her.' Yeah, that would solve everything (sarcasm)

As I was arguing with myself I noticed something moving in my hair. I made a grab for it but it quickly moved away. After some quick thinking I managed to get a hold of it and pull it out along with a few strands of my hair.

When I finally sorted my hair out from it I couldn't believe what I was looking at. For some reason I had a bug phone (one of Phineas and my inventions meant to spy by recording both video and audio while still seeming to look like an ordinary bug) crawling around in my hair. Now why would someone want to spy on me?

Originally I wanted this chapter to be longer but I'm short on time so here is what I've got. Sorry for the Rush but I did get it to you by Monday. I plan for one or two more chapters about the dance before returning to the revised chapters. Until then I have other stuff to do.
