I know it's been a while since I updated this story and all but I told you all that I wanted to work on my other stories. In any case, this story is here and ready for you too read.

Sabrina06: He does have that problem, doesn't he.

Cute as a button22: You will find out.

Ayahsad167: I used an online spelling checker this time, and when you find out what it is you will be surprised how obvious it is.

Pregnantnun227: I think it's currently November in the story … maybe two weeks until thanksgiving.

Cutie1997: It is isn't it.

Guest: Why do you believe that?

(Ferb's POV)

I sat at my computer desk in the room that my brother and I shared. Phineas had gone to sleep some time ago so I had to block the light so it wouldn't wake him up. As my computer warmed up I began contemplating the events of this evening. I found a video bug planted on me, and of the three people other than Phineas and myself who could build it, only one would have a reason to. I let out a sigh. But if Isabella did make it and has been spying on us … would she suspect that Phineas might have feelings for her? What would she do if she did? I shook my head and logged into the chat. There's only one way to find out if it really was Isabella.

(Ferb has signed in)

Ferb: Who's on right now?

Erick: You know you could just check the 'who's in' section, right?

Ferb: Sorry, I'm a little unfocused tonight.

Isabella: Hi Ferb.

Ferb: Ah, Isabella. Thought you would be asleep by now.

Isabella: It's the weekend so there's no curfew. I thought that Phineas would be on and I wanted to talk to him.

Ferb: About what?

Isabella: How the dance was.

Erick: You know you should really get over Phineas. He has a girlfriend and from what Baljeet told me, they're really close tonight.

Her response was a bit delayed.

Isabella: I know, Rica means a lot to Phineas.

Ferb: It's not something to take lightly Isabella. If Rica or Phineas found out about your crush on him then it would put your friendship with him at risk.

Isabella: How so? Phineas would never fall for me, especially after seeing Rica in that dress she wore.

I raised an eyebrow. It's currently too soon for Isabella to know about Rica's dress unless she was there.

Erick: It can't be that bad, can it?

Ferb: If Rica found out about Isabella's crush on Phineas, then she would feel threatened that Phineas might leave her for Isabella.

Isabella: But Phineas will never fall for me. He so in love with Rica that he's forgotten about me.

Ferb: He hasn't forgotten about you Isabella.

Isabella: Phineas so much as told me himself. He's almost never wanted to talk to me, he doesn't tell me what project the two of you made, when he does talk to me all he want's to talk about is Rica, and he almost never mentions me to his precious girlfriend.

Erick: How would you know that?

Isabella: Rica told me that she anytime she want's to hear something about me, she has to specify me by name.

Ferb: But Phineas always talks about you.

Isabella: Don't lie to me Ferb.

Ferb: I'm not lying.

Isabella: You're the one who had to convince him to call me, right?

Ferb: Well yes but that doesn't mean he doesn't talk about you.

Isabella: The fireside girls there tall me that he has not mentioned my name unless someone asked about me.

Ferb: I've heard him talk about you.

Isabella: Don't try to make me feel better Ferb. I know your lying.

I couldn't understand where Isabella was coming from with this. She's been spying on us so she must know how many times Phineas has talked about her.

Erick: You should still try to get over him all the same.

Isabella: Yeah, Phineas would probably not want to be around me if he knew I was in love with him. … Can we change the subject?

Ferb: I don't see why not.

Isabella: Could you two tell me how the dance was?

Erick: Well from what Baljeet told me it was kinda exciting. He said there was some good music but there were to many songs you couldn't dance to.

Isabella: Baljeet was there?

Erick: Yeah, he had a date with Ginger so he got to go.

Isabella: Well he got lucky.

Ferb: I don't think luck had much to do with it.

Erick: Ferb's right. It was bound to happen at some point. Ginger's had a crush on Baljeet for almost as long as Isabella had a crush on Phineas. Not seeing him for a while would give her plenty of time to work up the courage to ask him out.

Isabella: too bad you couldn't go. I mean you're in town and all so it must have been hard since you live so close yet weren't allowed to attend without a date.

Erick: It happens.

Something started to feel off about this conversation but I couldn't place my finger on it.

Isabella: Katie didn't ask you?

Erick: No, she went with Jack. Baljeet told me that the two of them started dating.

Now I knew what was off. Baljeet told me that Katie wasn't really dating Jack, so why would he tell Erick something different? On top of that Ginger told me that Katie was originally supposed to invite Erick so that everyone could be there. If Erick knew this he would have mentioned it by now, so why did Baljeet tell Erick everything about the dance, and not tell him about Katie?

Isabella: Hey Ferb, you okay? You're being quiet.

Erick: He's always quiet Isabella.

Ferb: I'm sorry, just a lot on my mind right now.

Isabella: Like what?

Ferb: I'd rather not talk about it now. I'm going to get some sleep.

Erick: Okay then, I should get to bed as well, I've got a lot of homework to do in the morning.

Isabella: Alright then, goodnight.

And with that, I logged off.

I don't know if I'm going to have the next chapter pick up back on the original or if I'm going to put one more new one in. I can tell you that it may take some time though.
