I bet that you're all wondering what the … heck happened to me in the past … MONTH? I've been gone for that long? *Sigh* I guess it took me longer than I thought but I digress, I was doing something important to my fanfiction life in that time other than working on my next story. I was … actually … I think I should save it till after. Also I'm constantly forgetting that I am doing a small section about Erick and Katie. But until then here is the reviews and the disclaimer.

UnlikelyPFfan: Yes, yes they do.

M4llyM0u53: Then I apologize because this chapter doesn't have much in it.

A: Okay … thanks?

The-Snowy-Owl13: That's a good idea but I also muscled in a few other plots that need resolving so … I have to wrap up those up to.

Princess of the Pen: Well sadly that's not till next chapter … I think.

Erick and story belongs to me


(Katie's POV)

(Two week later)

School was out and Ginger and I had decided to go to the mall to pick out new dresses for the upcoming dance. "What do you think of this one?" I asked coming out of the dressing room wearing a simple yellow sundress.

"Do you want to know what I think or do you want to know what Erick will think?" Ginger asked glaring at me. At this point Ginger was sitting on a bench and I could tell that she was upset that I had spent the last few weeks looking for a dress.

"Ginger!" I exclaimed. "This isn't about Erick, I just need to find a dress to take to the dance."

"Have you even asked Erick yet?" She asked as she rolled her eyes.

"Well he did get the permission but … I haven't officially asked him yet."

"So why haven't you?"

"Because I don't want him to end our friendship just because I lied!" I exclaimed. "I know that there's no avoiding this but … I just … I don't want to face this yet."

She rolled her eyes. "Well procrastinating picking out a dress isn't going to help matters."

"I just need some time to look around. I'm not like Isabella who can look amazing in old rags. I mean look at me, I'm as flat as a floor board."

Ginger laughed "Katie, are you saying that you're jealous of Isabella?"

I let out a small laugh "I guess I shouldn't be jealous of someone who doesn't have the love of her life" I took a quick look around the store to try to find a good place to look next when I saw someone who made me slightly upset "Speaking of Phineas's girlfriend" I said pointing to Rica who was probably also looking for something to take to the dance. Ginger turned around to look at who I was pointing to and I could tell that she was glaring.

"I'm going to have a little talk with her." Ginger said as she got up and started walking over to Rica. I quickly followed her. "Hi Rica" Ginger said causing Rica to turn around and look at us in shock.

"Oh hi Ginger, hi Katie, what are you two doing here?" Rica asked holding what appeared to be a pink dress. I tried to get a better look but she put it behind her back before I could see it clearly.

"Oh Katie here just can't seem to find the right dress to compliment her complete lack of-"

"GINGER!" I screamed out earning a few stares from other shoppers.

Rica giggled "What's wrong with what you have now?" she asked.

I took another look at what I had on "I just don't think that it will grab his attention as well as a girl showing off her chest size" I looked down in defeat.

I felt Rica put her hand on my shoulder "I'm sure that Erick would never do something like that to you, and that he likes you just the way you are"

I had to refrain myself from snapping. "You don't know that."

Rica looked at Ginger "So how about you Ginger? Do you have a date to the winter dance?"

Ginger reeled back and started to fantasize "Yeah, I asked Baljeet last week and he nearly had a heart attack trying to say yes"

Rica giggled again "Yeah, Phineas and I are going and I just wanted to make sure that-"

"I think you should break up with Phineas" Ginger blurted out.

Both Rica and I were in shock at Ginger's comment "What?" Rica asked.

"I said I think you should break up with Phineas" Ginger repeated.

Rica looked at Ginger with wide eyes for a good few seconds "Why?"

"Because he was supposed to fall in love with Isabella, not you!"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean if Isabella didn't go to that boarding school then Phineas would have fallen for her the first day of school, not you."

Rica was shocked for a moment and stuttered her next few words "Phin-Phineas s-said that he wa-wasn't i-in love with Isabell-Isabella."

Ginger rolled her eyes annoyed. "Was this before or after Isabella came to visit?"

"… Before" Rica said weakly.

Ginger glared at Rica "I saw the way Phineas looked at Isabella the day she came to visit, and I could tell that he fell in love with her"

Rica looked surprised and … did I see happiness? "Phineas would never dump me for someone else!" she said with authority.

"Yeah he wouldn't, that's why I'm telling you to do it." Ginger demanded.

There was a long pause "Are you sure that he's in love with Isabella?" Rica asked.

"Hold on a minute" I started "Why do you seem so lax about this?"

Rica looked down and smiled "Why do you think Katie?" She asked in a different voice.

When her voice hit my ears I was shocked (and so was Ginger). I couldn't believe it and I was hesitant but I asked anyway. "Isabella?"

She took off her glasses and undid her ponytail revealing that she was indeed Isabella "Surprised?" She asked.

Both Ginger and I nodded in shock at the sight of our troop leader who was disguised as someone else the whole time. There was a few moments of silence as Ginger and I stared wide eyed at her before Ginger finally realized what she did "Oh crap, I'm so sorry Isabella, I didn't mean to lecture you like that, I thought that-"

"It's okay Ginger" She said smiling "Oh and if it's not too much trouble can the two of you not tell anyone that I'm really Rica? I would really appreciate it."

Both of us nodded again before I asked her something "So how many people know that Rica is really you?"

"Just Holly, Adyson, and Gretchen, I needed them to help me with making it seem like I was really at that school."

"So … how are you going to tell Phineas?" I asked.

"Oh I have a plan … sort of, but first Katie, let me help you with that dress."


This did not turn out how I expected but I digress. So I promised that I would talk about what I was doing for the past month and I guess I have to now seeing as it is the end of the chapter. I was … looking for another fandom. STOP STOP STOP! I'm not leaving the P&F fandom but take a look at it, it's seen better days, much better days. There are fewer stories coming out than there used to be (or is that just me?) and I'm losing ideas so I've been looking for something that I can get into that I can use to fill the extra space left when this fandom shrunk. But I digress, after much research and trial and error … lots of error, I managed to find one that manages to fit the criteria I've been looking for of *ehem* having the main characters able to do at least semi impossible things, a story with unresolved plots or the allowance of additional plots put fanfiction into, (that's how P&F lost me, the whole AYA thing gave closure which sent me away but this new one has an open end for people to make their own assumptions.) and a romance between two friends which is funny and sweet at the same time. Can anyone guess what on earth it is? … Well, I'm sure someone is bound to guess it sooner or later. But I made this authors note too long and now must end it, so until next time, Axis23 is out, peace!

Hello, my name is Axis23 and I enjoy torturing characters.
