Hey all, sorry the update took longer than expected. Anyway here's the next chapter. I own nothing, especially the song "One Little Slip" from Chicken Little. Anyway, here's the chapter. Next chapter will be a tad bit of Isabella's POV but like I said most of this is Phineas' POV. Anyway, enjoy.
Phineas' POV
Ferb and the others except Candace, who went inside after talking to Stacy, looked at me with smug smiles. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, and they rolled their eyes. They deepened their smug expressions further, actually starting to creep me out a bit.
"What?" I asked, "Why are you guys looking at me like that?"
"Oh!" Buford burst out, "How dumb can you be, Dinner Bell?!"
"Or at least how dumb do you think we," Baljeet said then eyed Buford but still talking to me, "or at least Buford, is?!"
"Hey!" Buford snapped, and then he shrugged, "Yeah, I guess I see your point."
Ferb then pointed at me indicating I was their main focus at the moment. Yeah, I've learned to read Ferb's expressions due to his lack of words. Anyway, yeah, he directed his hands at me, and Buford and Baljeet looked at me after giving Ferb sheepish smiles.
"Oh, right, Phineas," Baljeet said, and they returned their gaze to me, "you don't even remember what you said earlier?"
"What? I said something earlier?" I asked, "What did I say?"
"Well, to summarize, you called Isabella 'Hunny'," Baljeet said.
"Whaaaaaat?" I said like Ally from Austin and Ally, "That's ridiculous. That would imply that I someday envision Isabella and I getting married, and that would imply that I have a crush on her."
Ah nuts! I totally thought I saved that earlier! Now I'm busted for one little slip! ONE LITTLE SLIP! Hmmm hey that's a good song…gah! I gotta stop changing subject. Anyway, they kept staring at me, and I began to feel a little uneasy. I bit my lip. Was it finally time to reveal my secret…after one little slip? I decided to take a sip of my iced tea before my answer was clear after a simple sentence.
"Ya know she likes you too," Ferb said.
And here I thought spit takes were a myth. I spit out my iced tea allover Candace…who approached at the wrong time. She seemed to be back to my busting, crazy sister. I admit I missed her trying to bust me this morning.
"PHINEAS!" she yelled, "YOU ARE SO BUSTED!"
"Sorry Candace," I said, "Ferb just told me something that…well…I don't know how to take."
Candace then left. I stared at Ferb, Buford and Baljeet who couldn't stop giggling. I gave them a small scowl, and they stopped giggling. Nothing but silence filled the backyard. It was so awkward. Reason being because I was really tongue tied because of one sentence. Isabella likes me too…whoa…I did not see that coming.
"Isabella…Isabella likes me?" I asked.
"Somebody give the boy a prize," Buford announced.
How could I be so naïve! I mean really! Who in the world could be more oblivious than me?! I guess Mom or Candace could be…not the point. The point is that I've been missing hints ALL summer long! Ugh! I am so oblivious! How many hints did I miss?
Let's see…when we got done singing 'Come Home, Perry', we all hugged Perry…me first of course since I was so worried about him. I remember the first person to join me was Isabella…and…SHE DIDN'T HUG PERRY! She hugged…ME!
What else…oh yeah! When we built the rollercoaster for the second time, that time it was a musical, she skipped in and sung a whole song about her catchphrase…I KNEW I HEARD MY NAME SOMEWHERE IN THAT! I thought I was in Isabella Land again…guess not.
Hmmm what else? She wanted to go to the dance with me…GAH! I'm such an idiot! Why did I bring Ferb too?! Oh that's right! Because I'm a gutless fish who can't admit three little words to the girl I love! And the day she asked me to go to the Stumbleberry Finkbat movie! She wanted to go on a DATE with me! How stupid can I be?! Have I really been so busy with my own feelings that I've missed her hints that she likes me too?
"Wow…am I really that oblivious, guys?" I asked.
"Yep," Ferb said.
"Pretty stupid," Buford said.
"Not horribly bright," Baljeet said.
"Gosh…who knew that one little slip would cause all this?" I said, "ONE LITTLE SLIP!"
"Is he doing what I think he's doing?" Baljeet asked Ferb.
"Yep…he's breaking into song."
It was a recipe for disaster
A four course meal of no sirree
It seemed that happily ever after
Was happy everyone was after me
It was a cup of good intentions
A table spoon of one big mess
A dash of over reaction
I assume you know the rest
One little slip, One little slip
It was a fusion of confusion
With a few confounding things
I guess I probably took the wrong direction
Well I admit I might have missed a sign or two
I ran a light past your affection
At humiliation Avenue
Took a right turn at confusion
A left when I shoulda gone straight on through
I ran ahead with my assumptions
We all know what that can do
One little slip, One little slip
It was a fusion of confusion
With a few confounding things
I get the feeling in this town
I'll never live till I live down the one mistake that seems to follow me around
But they'll forget about the sky when they all realize this guy's
about to try to learn to fly or hit the ground
It was a cup of good intentions
A table spoon of one big mess
A dash of over reaction
I assume you know the rest
One little slip, One little slip
It was a humble little stumble
With a big un-graceful…
One little slip, One little slip
It was a fusion of confusion
With a few confounding things
I stopped singing, turning around to see I was face to face with Isabella who had probably come in while I was singing…oh boy…it just gets better and better…
well there ya have it. I love those funny moments when a character turns around and is face to face with the very person they are singing or talking about. Anyway this might have a fourth chapter. Let's see how long chapter 3 will turn out.
R&R
Carpe Diem!
