Hi, so I plan to finish this before tomorrow so I will keep this short. This chapter is more Katie and Erick than anything else but it's still good. Now to the reviews.

Sabrina06: Neither can I. Do you know what Ferb has found out?

Thedoraemons7: Not yet.

Purpl3Pickl3: Well yes but what would make you think that? :)

Guest: *Sigh* You know that you really sound like Skypan from the first time this was written? She constantly said the exact same thing solely because she was a hard core Phinbella fan.

Pregnantnun227: I'm trying to figure out how many people can guess it and I dont think it's that obvious. I plan to work on that story tomorrow after I wake up.

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

(Baljeet's POV)

(A few minutes later)

I was sitting at my computer talking to Ginger about Katie and Erick. "So you will have to talk to Katie and I will talk to Erick."

"I still don't see why they had to make things this complicated." Ginger replied to me.

I let out a sigh. "Neither can I, but the truth is it happened and we need to help them fix it." I turned around and looked out the window. "Not to mention I don't want to be on the wrong side of Erick aggression when he finds out that Katie was not really dating Jack and I never told him."

"Well I'm seeing Katie and the rest of the fireside girls tomorrow so I will talk to her then."

"Well then, Erick will be getting back soon so I should be thinking about how to go about telling him."

"Good luck Jeet. You will need it if things get out of hand." I froze at the thought, Erick had a very bad track record for connecting to people and it was one of the few things that couldset him off the edge.

"I need to get to work." And with that I hung up.

I sat in my chair thinking about how I was going to go about this when I heard the door slowly open. I looked over to see Erick with his hood up and his head down with a look in his eye that resembled someone who had their sole removed. "So Erick, how was that math test?" I asked trying to lighten the mood.

Erick didn't answer, he just walked over to his bed and lied down.

I decided to ease into the topic with a some talk about the plan for this weekend. "So, you excited to see the fireside girls this weekend?" He still didn't react so I decided pock a little deeper. "I know that you are looking forward to seeing a certain blond girl that is going to be there."

Erick's head shot up and he looked at me with a shocked expression. "You mean that she's going to be there?" He asked in an almost surprised tone.

I looked at him strangely for a moment. "Yes … Why wouldn't Katie be at there seeing as all her friends are going to be there."

Erick looked at me in shock for a moment before rubbing his eyebrows. "Oh … I thought you were talking about someone else."

"Who else do you know that has blond hair?" I asked as I looked at him strangely.

"It's … it's no one important." He responded slowly. "Now you were saying?"

I looked at him strangely before continuing. "Yes … well … about Katie-"

"What about her?" Erick interrupted. "I know she's done nothing wrong to me but I would rather not see her this weekend … or … for a very long time."

I let out a sigh and turned to fully face Erick. "She is your best friend Erick, even if you do have a crush on her. I mean look at Isabella, she has had a crush on Phineas for who knows how long and even though Phineas now has a girlfriend, she's still coming."

Erick turned back to look at the ceiling. "I never said I wasn't going."

"You two need to talk." I said almost immediately after Erick finished his sentence.

Erick shook his head and let out a small laugh. "About what? I think telling her that I love her would put some serious distance between us, not to mention her and her boyfriend."

I took a breath and braced myself for what I was about to tell him. "About that Erick." He looked at me curiously. "Katie and Jack are not really dating."

"What?" Erick said as his eye's went wide.

"I said … Katie has been lying to you about her and Jack." Erick jaw dropped as he continued to stare at me.

"I'm sorry Baljeet, but could you please tell my why she would lie to me about that?"

"Because she thought that you were dating Kristen. And I guess she didn't want you too feel sorry for her."

Erick almost laughed then shook his head. "In the conversation we had, Katie told me that she was dating Jack before I …" Erick's expression fell. "Before I lied to her and told her that I was dating Kristen." Erick quickly shook his head. "Okay, I would get why she would do it but she still told me that she was dating Jack before I told her that I was dating Kristen."

I shook my head slightly. "Not really Erick. You see, Rica told Katie that you were dating Kristen some time ago, that's where Katie got the idea that the two of you were dating."

Erick looked at me with his eye's wide. "Why would Rica think Kristen and I were dating?" He demanded.

"Well … Phineas told her seeing as he thought that the two of you were dating."

He ran his fingers threw his hair. "Was Phineas not following the conversation? I clearly said that I wasn't dating Kristen."

I shrugged. "I don't know, maybe it was a miss-communication or something. Whatever the case you need to talk to her about this eventually."

Erick let out a sigh and lied down on his bed. "Yeah … not really looking forward to that."

"Well regardless you should-"

"Can we about something else?" Erick asked.

"Sure, lets talk about this other blond girl that you know."

Erick looked at me then back to the ceiling and sighed. "I don't want to talk about that either."

(The next day)

Milly and I were at the fire side girls lodge getting ready for the return of the rest of our troop. "Careful with those boxes Milly." I said as she put down the last box with party decorations.

"I don't see why we have to gather all of these." Milly said as she took a seat on one of the chairs set up near the boxes.

"I told you before, we need to get the party supplies and Phineas and Ferb will transport them to there house for the actual party."

"Ugh, I know that, I just don't see why Katie couldn't help us."

I let out a sigh and took a seat in another chair. "She said she'd be here late but I have a feeling I know why."

As if on cue, we heard Katie's secret knock on the door. I walked over and opened the door to great her. Katie was wearing the yellow hoodie that she got from Erick and her casual outfit underneath. Currently her head was down and her hood was up covering her eyes. "It's nice to see you made it Katie." Milly said from her seat.

"Sorry." Katie said with a sad tone.

"And why aren't you in uniform?" Milly asked in a accusing tone.

"I forgot it." She said as she walked in.

"How could you forget it? You are a fireside girl you never forget-"

"I just don't have it, okay!?" Katie snapped.

Both Milly and I were shocked by Katie's sudden outburst.

"Katie." Milly started. "That's no way for a fireside girl to act."

Katie looked away and sneered. "What does it matter to you?"

"It matters because if you keep this up then Isabella will have you kicked out of the fireside girls." Milly said with a leer.

Katie leered back then soon gave in and sighed. "It's … personal."

"Well we're here to help you solve it." Milly said as she placed a hand on Katie's shoulder.

I knew what was eating at Katie but she needed to get it off her chest first or this would be difficult. We gathered some chairs around in a circle so we could all sit down as we talked.

Katie took a deep breath and looked at both of us. "Have you ever fallen in love with your best friend?"

Milly and I looked at each other then back to Katie. "I can't say I have." Milly said.

"Can't say I have either." I said after Milly. "But Isabella has and I'm guessing your situation is currently similar to hers?"

Katie shook her head. "Isabella waited to long and lost Phineas to someone else … I lost Erick because I pushed him away."

Both Milly and I looked at Katie in shock. "What do you mean?" Milly asked.

"I mean Erick said his relationship with Kristen was complicated … he might not have even been dating her at the point and I just urged him to go with it." A few tears started to form in her eyes. "I mean if I hadn't lied to him then he might have … he might have …" A few more tears started to form in her eyes then she started crying. "I've known that he's had feelings for me … if ever so slightly but I made it seem like I was already taken so he … went for someone else." Katie grasped her face in her hands and started balling her eye's out.

Milly scooted her chair closer to Katie and patted her on the shoulder. "There there, it will all be alright."

Katie looked up from her crying and looked Milly in the eye. "The boy I'm in love with, who happens to have difficulty making emotional connections, has started dating a girl that I've heard is the hottest girl in his school and is also into the same things that he is into all because I told him I was taken. How exactly are things going to be alright?"

Milly was left awestruck at Katie's response. "I … I have no idea."

"That's what I thought." Katie returned to her crying like she had pressed pause on it or something.

Well, looks like it's now or never. I thought. I took a deep breath and readied myself. "Katie, I have something to tell you."

Katie stopped crying and looked up at me curious about what I was about to say. "Katie … Erick … never actually started dating Kristen."

Katie and Milly looked at me like I was insane or something. "I'm sorry but your going to have to explain that." Katie demanded.

I let out a sigh and continued. "Look, you did make it seem like you were dating Jack and people thought that Erick was dating Kristen. Both of you thought that the other was dating someone and seeing as both of you didn't want to ruin your friendship, you both lied and said that you two were already taken."

Katie and Milly continued staring at me strangely. "Look, I'm telling the truth, Erick isn't really dating Kristen. If you want reasons and explanations then talk to Erick. This is his to explain and all Baljeet and I can do is clear the air between you two."

Katie looked down before her eyes popped open and she looked at me like she had seen a ghost. "What do you mean by you and Baljeet?"

"I mean that Baljeet is explaining the situation to Erick that you only pretended to date jack … or should I say explained seeing s he probably got threw it last night."

Katie covered her mouth with her hands. "This is not good." She said as she took a few steps back. "Erick found out that I was lying to him … from someone else?"

I have about 11 minutes to post this chapter if I want it to be on time so let's keep this quick. I just listened to the small portion of lyrics from the song sung by Isabella titled "only trying to help" and now I'm sentimental. Hopefully it will disappear by tomorrow. In other news I hope to have Erick's character bio up at some point tomorrow on my profile page and Daviantart page. Other than that, goodnight.
