Hi, I'm back. Sorry about the long wait but here is the chapter like you all wanted. In other news this is the original chapter 10 with some heavy modifications. I also plan to have a new chapter after this one so we only stop back at the origional for a short time. And now to the reviews.

Cute as a button22: Well I'm sorry it took so long for it to come up. I hope the next one isn't going to take longer.

Thedoraemons7: We can only hope.

Pregnantnun227: Yes, yes it is.

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

(The day before Thanksgiving break)

Well after more than 3 months the day I have been waiting for was just around the corner, the day I get to see my best friend again. At long last I could introduce Rica to our entire gang of friends. But that is still a few day away, right now history just ended and boy was it long. I had packed up my thing and was currently helping Rica do the same when she looked at me with a said face "Hey Phineas remind me that when we get to study hall I need to tell you something." Today was Tuesday so our study skills class was a study hall class.

I looked at her confused for a moment then shrugged. "Sure thing."

When we arrived in study hall we took our seats and Rica pulled out her notebook (she really likes to study). "So what did you want to tell me?" I asked her. Her head shot up in what looked like terror as she slowly looked at me and gave me a weak smile.

"Well Phineas … the thing is …" she looked away from me and began to play with her fingers "I …well the thing is that … I'm … I …"

"Are you okay?" I asked.

Her head shot up again and in one breath she blurted something out. "I'mgoingtobeoutoftownforthebreakandwon'tbeabletob econtactedbyanyoneuntilschoolstartsupagain" she took a couple of breaths and slowly turned to look at me.

"So …" I started "you're going to be out of town for the break and won't be able to be contacted by anyone until school starts up again?" She nodded, "Well that's … fine I guess but I really wanted you to meet Isabella in person."

"Sorry … maybe some other time?" She asked.

"Sure." I gave her a reassuring smile and a tender kiss.

As we both started studying, I got this nagging sensation in the back of my mind. Why do I get the feeling that's somethings not right here? I thought. It's almost like there's something going on that I'm not seeing. After a few minutes of thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that it was probably nothing and pushed it to the back of my mind.

(Woodshop)

We were working on a sign that said 'welcome back' for when all of the girls return to town this weekend. We were half finished with it when Django asked me a question. "Looking forward to seeing everyone again?"

I looked over to him for a second then smiled a little. "I was but unfortunately Rica won't be able to come, so I'm a but let down."

My brother looked at me confused. "Why?" He asked.

"Well she said that she's going to be out of town for the break and won't be able to be contacted by anyone until school starts up again, so …" I paused and looked up. "She never actually told me what she was doing."

"Why don't you call her after school and ask her?" Django suggested.

I looked side to side in embarrassment. "I … don't have her number." There was an awkward silence as Ferb and Django gave me a blank stare.

"Why?" Django asked killing the silence.

"Well I've never really needed to call her, she has this after school study thing Monday through Thursday, we always go straight from school to wherever on Friday, and on Saturday she just … comes to our house to take part in our idea for the day. I never really needed to call her for anything."

There was another awkward silence; this one however was killed by Ferb. "When did you tell her where we lived?"

I looked side to side for a short time. "I don't remember telling her." Ferb glared at me causing me to reel back. "Well it's not like it's a big mystery; you could just look it up in a phone book or something."

"Not to mention you guys are famous." Django added.

Ferb closed his eyes and shook his head. After a moment he froze then looked up at me. "I don't recall you ever going to her house."

I thought to myself for a moment before realizing that Ferb was right. "That's actually correct, I've never been to her house before. I actually don't even know where it is."

"Yet you two make out like newlyweds" Django said laughing.

I glared at Django. "So what if I don't know where her house is?"

"Why don't you know where she lives?" Ferb asked.

I shrugged. "I never asked. I mean it's never really come up in conversation either."

"Why haven't you asked?" Ferb questioned further.

"Well I've never really needed to ask her about things, I kinda just … know it."

This time Django also looked at me questioningly. "What do you mean?"

I scratched my chin and thought to myself. "Well, when something came up like when we went to a restaurant or something I kinda just … knew what she liked or wanted."

Ferb's eye's grew wide. "Give me an example."

I thought to myself for a moment before remembering a good example. "A few weeks ago we went to that new cake store, the waiter asked what type of cake we would like and I ordered Rica some red velvet cake. She was surprised that I knew what her favorite type of cake was … and I was kinda creeped out seeing as I don't remember her ever telling me what her favorite type of cake was."

Ferb looked at me like he had seen a ghost. "Whens her birthday?"

I thought to myself for a moment. "She never gave me an exact date but some time towards the end of summer."

Ferb now looked like I had just told him that he had cancer or something. He turned away and started mumbling to himself. "Hey Ferb, You okay?" Django asked.

Ferb apparently wasn't paying attention because his next comment wasn't directed at either of us. "Even if that is true then … but then that means … it almost makes sense ..." He turned to me. "You said you never needed to ask her what she liked?"

I shook my head. "I guess I was good at guessing it."

Ferb shook his head. "it's not … unless … or if … but … it can."

After a few moments of listening to Ferb's mindless ranting Django walked over to me. "Is Ferb alright?" He asked.

I shrugged. "He get's like this sometimes."

(After school)

On the buss ride home I texted Baljeet to be on chat and I desperately needed to talk to him. Things were starting to come together and I needed to talk to him to confirm my theory. As I got off the buss I ran inside and upstairs and into my room. I had set up a remote start for my computer and turned to on so that I could log on to the chat as soon as I got there. As soon as I got to my computer I loged into chat.

(Ferb has signed in)

Ferb: Baljeet, are you there?

Baljeet: Yes Ferb, I am here.

Ferb: Good, I need to know something really important.

Baljeet: Well unless you ask then I will never be able to answer.

Ferb: I need to know if you told Erick that Katie and Jack started dating.

There was a slight pause.

Baljeet: What are you talking about? I told you that they are not dating, why would I tell Erick otherwise?

Ferb: Because he told me that you told him otherwise.

Baljeet: I never told him anything, he actually told me that he does not care about the dance and that he does not want me to talk about it.

It was at that moment my suspicions were confirmed. It was Erick that built the bug to spy on the dance, not Isabella. That's why he didn't have complete information about Katie and Jack.

Baljeet: Hey Ferb? Care to share what you are thinking?

Ferb: Yeah … sorry about that. Erick built a spy bug to keep an eye on the dance. It looks like he thinks that Katie and Jack had gotten together.

Baljeet: Why would he do something like that?

Ferb: No idea as to why but I think it would be important if you and Ginger tell Erick and Katie what's really happening.

Baljeet: Erick's not in the room right now but I will try to find him. I will also send a text to Ginger and tell her to do the same.

Ferb: Thank you, now I need to get to homework.

(Ferb has signed out)

I sat back in my chair thinking about what I just confirmed and I still couldn't believe it. All this time … it was Erick that was using the spy bug … then it couldn't have been Isabella …

"My god." I said as I leaned back. "I have enough proof to prove it true and I still can't believe it myself."

And there you have it. There's the chapter and I will now take a much needed break for the rest of the day and get some sleep. BTW, does anyone see what I did in this chapter?
