About the chapter: What did they see? Find out. Do give me reviews of what you think.

Chapter 3

The clock infront of him ticked. Baljeet gulped. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead. Infront of him was not darkness anymore. Phineas, Isabella, Ferb and all his classmates sat in their seats. He was in his classroom. On his desk was his math question paper. Nobody paid any attention to him. They were all writing. He looked at the clock, he was already an hour late. Baljeet ran to his seat and sat down. But however fast he did the problems...it never seemed to end and the clock was ticking. He watched as one by one, Phineas, Ferb and every other student got up and left the room. He was not done yet. Panic held him in his place, frozen and not able to do anything. He looked left and right. He was completely alone. In the moment of panic, Baljeet tensed, he couldn't move. This couldn't be happening. Not to him. Not maths test. He was good at it. He was great at it.

Darkness surrounded him. He couldnt see.


Gretchen had worry plastered over her face. She gripped Ferb's hand.

"Ferb, what's happening to them?" she asked him. Her hands were ice-cold. Ferb held her hand as if to reassure her that it was all just part of the game. But the little contact he had with her made him want to hold her more. He gulped. He really wished their old summer days were back, when they were kids-Just bloody kids without scary desires.

Gretched looked at their hands and then at Ferb.

"It's a simulation. It's not real." He told her matter of factly. But somehow Gretchen did not seem to hear him. She was looking at him. And a blush creeped throughout her her neck and onto her face.

Ferb gulped again.

Damn!


Isabella's eyes widened. In front of her stood Phineas. But he had no smile on him. The smile she had always loved. Instead he looked at her as if she was something annoying. His voice boomed in the deserted area. They were standing in the corridor of their school.

"Isabella..." he said. He sounded distant. He sounded...away.

"Phineas..?" Isabella asked, worried.

"Isabella...do you know how bother some you are? Huh? You don't, right? Well let me tell you that you are so damn annoying!" he gave her a look that made her want to cry. No! Phineas wouldnt say that to her. They were best friends.

"Phin...neas wha...t are you...you.. saying?" Isabella stuttered a bit, surprised and shocked. This couldnt be happening. She didnt know when the game ended. She didnt know when this happened. She didnt know why he was acting like this all of a sudden. Something was happening and she didnt even know why they were both standing in their school when they were at the backyard a few minutes ago.


Katie let out a cry. She was standing on an island. It was surrounded by thick trees and vines. From somwhere came a loud ROAR! She cried out again. For a moment, she felt darkness fill in. Katie looked up. Above and behind her was Giant Dinosaur! I gave out aother cry. Katie screamed again.

"No!" I thought you beasts got extinct!" and she began running again.

"Oh my god, Ferb! But isn't that dinosaur a vegetarian?" Gretchen asked Ferb.

Ferb nodded. He wondered why he had not realised how intelligent Gretchen was. Maybe that was why he liked her. Wait, what!?

Ferb closed his eyes again. Things were getting extremely dangerous. He wasn't even able to control his thoughts.


Isabella sat on the ground. This couldn't be happening. He started speaking again.

"Hey Phineas, watchya doing, watchya doing? Always tryin' to come in and ruin our day. Who do you think you are? You think I dont know that you like me?" He gave her an evil laugh. Tears spilled from her eyes and Isabella began shaking her head. "Ofcourse I knew, you were being so obvious. But who wants to be with you? You are..."

BANG!

Isabella jumped from her position and kicked Phineas straight on his face.

"Don't you dare trick me! My phineas will never say such a thing!" Isabella's face glowed. And with her proclamation, the Phineas that stood infront of her disappeared, the school corridor turned into a room and the room lit up to reveal a door at the end!


Phineas stood frozen, at the sight in front of him. Isabella was tied by ropes and was being lowered into a an artificial volcano of hot lava. He saw sweat rolling down her face from the heat from below. He couldn't move.

"Phineas! Help!" Her screams for him, brought up his attention. Phineas looked around. Everywhere else was darkness. All he could see was her and her alone. The thought of losing Isabella made him crumble inside. Phineas realised, he had been too late to tell her that he liked her, that he loved her. He didnt know what to do. One step he took forward and Isabella was lowered further down. He stood frozen, rooted to his spot.

"Isabella...I'm coming" he cried. But he didnt know what to do. The heat was making him sweat as well. Her cries echoed in his ears and he couldnt think and couldnt do anything. Phineas closed his life.


Holly fell back. A swarm of bees came after her. She struggled to get up and run.

All around her looked like she was in the middle of a forest. Green leaves filled around her. Dry leaves and twigs made up the ground. She could hear hissing sounds and a few other sounds. Birds chirping in various tones, the sound of the wind, the smell of grass and flowers from faraway. Holly stood up for a moment. She shook her head. This couldn't be. A drop of water fell on to her hands. It wasn't raining. The water was from her hair. Her hair was wet from the snow earlier. That reminded her that she was still in the game.

Holly smiled. She remembered that she already had acquired her Bee Keeping Patch and her Jungle Navigation Patch. She moved left and started running in order to escape. She knew what she had to do.


Doobie doobie dooba doobir doobie doobaaaa...Agent P!

Perry jumped into the Doofenshmirtz hot air balloon and stood to strike. But Doofenshmirtz was not alarmed at his appearance.

"Oh hey, Perry the platypus, what are you doing here? I am on my vacation! See?" he waved his hands to show him a picnic basket at the corner of the hot air balloon. "Vanessa's meeting me later. I decided to have a good family time with her"

Perry raised his eyebrow as if to ask 'really?'

"Oh come on, Pery the platypus, believe me. See, I haven't trapped you still. See?" he waved his hands again. Perry looked around. On top of the basket was a small remote with a red ACTIVATE button on it. Perry narrowed his eyes and pointed to it.

Doofenshmirtz rubbed his hair and smiled. "Hey, thats not an inator!"

Perry moved a step closer to him. Dr. Doofenshmirtz took the remote in his hands.

"okay, okay...but thats just a remote..it's not an inator. It just vaporise things...you see"but Perrry had already kicked him and the remote fell off from his hands.

"Hey!" shouted Dr. Doof. Perry saluted him and jumped off from the hot air balloon to catch the remote.


Isabella found herself in a yard, on its far end was a red cross on the ground. She ran to it to grab her treasure. Once she reached the cross, her surroundings changed to that of the backyard. She had won. Peole cheered for her. She saw Katie and a few minutes later Holly appeared near them.

"What ahppened to you?" asked Holly looking at Katie's leaf covered hair.

"Oh, a dinosaur!" Katie smiled and fell to the ground tired. Isabella chuckled. "And you?"

"Bees...jungle...phew!" Holly too sat down next to her. "Isabella..?"

Isabella blushed when they both looked at her." That reminds me, where's Phineas?"

"And Baljeet?" added Katie. Thy both looked to the screens. Phineas sat on the ground, in darkness, dejected and depressed. Baljeet was standing. His face was blank. Sweat lined his brows and forehead. His lips were trembling.


So what happens to Phineas and Baljeet. Can Isabella convince him that it was all fake? How will she react when she gets to know his illusion? How will Phineas react when he sees Isabella. Find out in the next chapter. Probably the final one!
