Chapter 2! Enjoy! =)
Disclaimer: I, sadly, do not own Phineas and Ferb
The next morning, the sun rose early as Phineas and Ferb stationed themselves under the tree in their backyard. Phineas was still distracted from last night, zoning out every once in a while, and proving unable to come up with a project idea before Isabella arrived.
"Hey, Phineas! Watcha doin?"
Isabella's sweet voice made Phineas' heart jump and he fought the urge to blush. Since when have I been nervous around her? Has her voice always been so pleasant? Phineas took a breath and focused on sounding like his normal self.
"We don't really know yet," he finally announced. "Are there any specific patches that you and Fireside Girls need?"
"Hmm…" Isabella put a hand on her chin and assumed a classic thinking position. "Oh! I know!" she exclaimed. "We've been wanting to earn our Martial Arts Patches, but there's no studio or anything in Danville…"
"Ferb! I know what we're going to do today!" Phineas shouted as he leaped up from his seat and took Isabella's hand in his. "We'll help you get that patch, Isabella; we'll build the greatest martial arts studio in the world! Or at least the Tri-State Area."
There was a moment of silence before Phineas realized that he was still holding Isabella's hand. He quickly withdrew his hand, but not before noticing the girl's light blush. His heart quickened and he tried desperately to keep from giving anything away.
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Phineas said, "Why don't you and the other Fireside Girls get ready? You know, uniforms and all? Ferb and I will take care of the studio itself."
"Okay, see you guys in an hour or so!" Isabella flashed a brilliant smile before dashing off to call her friends.
When Isabella had gone, Phineas turned to his brother. "Man, since when is this so hard? I've never had a problem talking to her before! Do you think she noticed when I took her hand? I didn't even realize it before it was too late!" Phineas stopped and breathed deeply, trying to organize his thoughts. For a man of math and science, he found dealing with such a strong emotion rather difficult.
"If someone took my hand, I would find it hard not to notice," Ferb offered.
"Now Isabella knows that something's up!" Phineas went on, his voice rising as if he were going to panic. "She must think I'm crazy! Look, I know that I was psyched last night, but I don't know if I can face her when I'm like this!"
Suddenly, Phineas' head snapped up, an idea springing into his head. "I know what else we should do today, Ferb! I could build a machine that destroys feelings of love!"
