I unfortunately am not good with music so I will not be mentioning any songs that appear during this chapter. Right now I am tired so I will just get to the reviews.

Cute as a button22: Don't worry, it's kinda obvious when you know it but kinda unobvious when you don't.

Ayahsad167: A lot of people are lost my friend. Don't feel left out.

Sabrina06: Yes, yes it is.

JosephTheThird: Yes, yes it does.

Thedoraemons7: ... Thank you for reviewing.

JosephTheThird: Hopefully it will clear up later.

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


(Phineas's POV)

(Some time later)

Rica and I were in the gym or … dance hall … I guess. Dancing along to whatever the DJ was playing. In between songs I looked around and noticed the numerous other who were dancing along with us. I saw Baljeet and Ginger together but unfortunately that was the only pair I recognized.

"Hey, have you seen Ferb?" I asked Rica.

She looked around then shook her head. "Maybe we should look for him during the next song."

"Yeah I guess that would be a good idea." I responded.

We walked away from the main group of people and started to look around. When we didn't find him we decided to check the other side of the crowd seeing as we couldn't see over them.

A short walk away and we saw Ferb sitting on the bleachers while talking to some random girl. She wasn't there for long however seeing as she left before we could get to him.

"Who was that?" I asked as we reached him.

Ferb didn't look me in the eye but answered all the same. "She … asked if I could dance with her."

"I'm assuming you turned her down?" Rica asked.

Ferb nodded. "The only girl that I would dance with isn't here."

"Well then why didn't you invite her?" I asked.

"Because ..." Ferb shook his head. "Things have been hectic for me Phin, Not to mention she wouldn't have been able to come anyway."

"What's her name?" Rica asked.

Ferb sighed and looked at us before looking back at the ground. "Gretchen." He answered.

I was taken by surprise by his statement. All this time I thought that he liked someone else. "I thought that you loved that Vanessa girl."

Fer shook his head. "I was eleven Phineas."

"But still. Why haven't you told her?" Ferb looked up at me with a curious look. "I mean it's not like she would say no. It's kinda like the situation between Erick and Katie."

Ferb let out a laugh and shook his head. "I would hope you are wrong on that part bro."

I tilted my head in confusion. "Why is that?"

Ferb looked at me curiously. "You don't know what's happening between them do you?"

I shook my head and Ferb let out another laugh. "Well in any case bro, I need to use the bathroom, there should be a slow song coming up soon for you and your girlfriend."

Rica and I blushed as we looked at each other while Ferb quickly made his getaway.

The current song lasted for a few more seconds then the announcer made a call out. "Attention all couples out there. We've had some fun tonight but it's time to slow thing down." At that moment the music shifted to something that sounded somewhat familiar.

I was still looking at the DJ trying to place the song but Rica started to pull on my shirt. "Would you like to dance?" She asked in a sweet tone.

I reached behind her and placed my hands on her wast. "I'd love to." I said sweetly. She reached her hands behind my neck and we began slowly swaying from side to side.

As we swayed I kept thinking about what the song reminded me of while not paying attention to how close our bodies had drifted. I know this song is important somehow but what was it? I thought.

A few moments later I finally managed to place the song. "Hey Rica, isn't this your favorite song?" I asked.

She looked at me in shock but her lips quickly melted into a smile as she pulled us closer together. "I don't remember telling you that but yes this is one of my favorite songs."

"Really? I remember you … actually … how did I know-" She cut me off with a kiss. As we kissed our bodies pressed against each other and my hands slowly worked there way up to her lower back. Aswe stayed there I felt the warm feeling that I've been feeling for her return and overcome me. I wasn't thinking about anything else, I wasn't thinking about how nervous I was, I wasn't thinking about how upset my brother and Django were, I wasn't even thinking about school. I was in paradise only there was one thing wrong … I wasn't thinking about Rica … I was thinking about Isabella.


(Django's POV)

After the song had ended I was wondering the gym aimlessly when I came upon Phineas and Rica still dancing together, probably not aware that the song had ended. I stared at them for a few moments before walking up to them and taping them both on the shoulder. "Hey guys, the song ended thirty seconds ago, you don't have to continue dancing."

They both looked at me in surprise before looking at each other and slowly separating. "Phineas, why didn't you tell me the song was over?" Rica asked.

Phineas scratched the back of his head and let out a nervous chuckle. "Well it is you favorite song so I didn't want to wake you from your trance seeing as you looked so peaceful."

I would have laughed if something didn't hit me as strange. That last song … was … her favorite? I shook the thought from my head and walked away.

"Well you two enjoy yourselves." I said as the song continuously pledged my mind. That song … is her favorite. … no … she couldn't be … it's just a coincidence … right?


(Phineas's POV)

(Later that night)

Ferb, Rica and I were waiting on a bench for our moms to pick us up with Rica leaning on my shoulder. "I had a wonderful night Phineas." She said as she closed her eyes.

"Yeah … so did I." I said with the slightest bit of doubt in my voice.

Unfortunately Rica picked up on this and turned to look at me. "Is something the matter?" She asked in a worried tone.

"Well … yeah … I … just … wanted … I mean …" I was desperately grasping for words when they finally came to me. "I just wish that Isabella could be here." She looked at me confused and I knew that I gave her the wrong words. "Well she is my best friend so …" Ferb gave me a look from the other side of Rica.

"Phineas?" Rica said almost like a question. "Please tell me the truth, are you in love with Isabella?"

I froze. I don't know if I'm in love with Isabella. And I can't tell Rica that … she would probably be more comfortable hearing me say yes. I took a deep breath. "No Rica, I'm not in love with Isabella." I was again scratching the back of my ear but luckily I still haven't told her that it was a tell of mine … and I probably wont.


(Phineas's POV)

(Later)

Rica's mom had arrived earlier then our mom so Ferb and I were sitting by ourselves. I knew that at some point Ferb was going to ask me about it so I decided to just bring it up now. "Ferb, I know you know I was lying to Rica earlier." He didn't answer. "And I know that you think I'm really in love with Isabella." He still didn't answer. "But the truth is … I don't know … I don';t know if I'm in love with Isabella … I don't think I am but … she's my oldest friend, I just feel like …" I sighed. "I feel like when Rica's not around … my mind goes to Isabella instead of Rica … I don't know why that is Ferb, I just … something wrong with me." Ferb continued to say nothing. "Ferb, please say something, I don't know what to do here, I don't know what's wrong with me, I need help."

Ferb turned to look at me. "I'm sorry did you say something?" I froze and gave him a 'that did not just happen' look. I was about to snap when he let out a laugh. "I'm sorry, I did hear you, I just wanted to see your reaction." He let out a sigh. "Truth is … I don't know what to tell you. Everyone is having some form of problem and … I don't know how to deal with mine."

"You have to tell Gretchen that you love her. I don't think that's as difficult as it sounds."

Ferb shook his head. "If it was anyone else then yeah, it would be easy but everyone expects me to do some over the top thing that will set an example for generations."

I laughed. "Yeah, that's kinda expected of you, isn't it?"

At that moment our mom arrived and waved to us, signaling that it was time to go. "We'll talk about this later bro. Okay?"


And that is the end of the chapter. I'm sorry that it's late but I honestly couldn't get it here earlier. I might take a break from this story for a bit and get to one of my other stories or I might not. The final choice is mine.
