Chapter 3

Phineas' POV

The three of us walk into the house and upstairs. The whole time I had a lot on my mind. I did not know why for sure, I felt... different around Isabella. I could do anything with and for my friend. I assume that is because of how long we have known each other and being best friends. But there always was something more I wanted with her, but being ten. I did not understand it yet.

I push away the thoughts as best I can and focus on the project and the kitten we found. When we finally got to the room Ferb and I shared. It felt like it took forever when it took maybe 2 minutes. I sighed silently; I needed to focus a little bit more.

"Alright Ferb. Put to collar onto the kitten." I told him. Ferb gave me a short look then a small nod before walking over to kitten, slowly. Ferb and I did not know the kitten in anyway so we did not know how it would react to humans. At first, the kitten looked almost... suspicious. As if it was thinking and feeling the emotion. I suppose I do not know much about cats. Surely they do more than a platypus? Not there is anything wrong with platypus. I shook my head then turned my attention to the kitten. Ferb had managed to get the collar on the kitten. He set the dial to English then stepped back without doing anything else

"Does it work?" I asked my step brother. Ferb looked ready to answer when a new voice spoke up.

"How could it work when you two are just...?" It was the kitten."I do not believe it. I can speak..."

I looked back at the kitten with a grin. Another successful project.

"We can put that one under 'success' Ferb." Ferb gave me the thumbs up and wrote down the note.

"It was bound to work." Isabella stated matterafactly. "You guys made a larger one before, and you guys have built roller coasters, space rockets, a beach in your own backyard, a shrink ray, and more. You guys are that smart." She finished looking at me. I smiled back my thanks but showed no other emotion.

"Aren't you two a little...? I don't know... young to making this stuff?" The kitten asked.

"Yes, yes we are." I replied. I looked back at the grey kitten as I spoke. "But that is not why we created the collar."

"You created it to show off and take over the world?" The kitten mumbled. It was too quiet that I did not hear it all the way.

"What?" I asked in confusion

"Nothing!" She broke in briskly. "I said nothing. So why did you build the collar?"

"Well, if you understand me and my friends now. Then you must have understood us outside." I said

"I guess..." The kitten said with a sigh

"Well we wanted to know where you came from. A cute thing like you must have a home" I stated

"I am from..." The kitten muttered looking at her paws.

"Just say it so we can take you back to your family." Isabella muttered loudly and almost sounding annoyed.

I looked over to see kitten looking startled by Isabella's outburst. I was sort of surprised too. What reason did Isabella have as to hate the kitten?

"I have no one. I am nothing but an alley cat. My family is dead and I have no owner." She said sadly, still looking at her paws.

I found it hard to believe that this little creature had no one. But seeing her so sad, I knew it was true.

"What is your name?" I asked after awhile.

"Lily." She replied looking up at me once more. It suited her. Lily.

"Well if you got nowhere else to go you can stay here..." I began only to be cut off.

"Is that a good idea Phineas?" Isabella demanded, glaring at me.

"Why not? We found her. She has one of our projects on her. And she is pretty cute. Plus she has nowhere to go." I reminded my friend. Still confused as to why she was so annoyed by this. It sort of reminded me of when Meap came around.

"What about Perry? And your parents? And Candace?" Isabella asked.

"Well Perry I do not think will mind. He likes other pets. Candace already likes Lily. And our parents will not ignore a helpless animal. They trust us to take of Perry so will not mind another pet. I am sure." I said with confidence.

"I do not know. I just have a bad feeling." Isabella muttered.

"Why?" I asked.

"No reason. I just do. Never mind, if I cannot stop you from keeping Lily then I cannot." She said smiling at me once more. It gave me energy and happiness to see my friend's smile. Isabella's smile could lighten anyone, especially me, on the stormiest and darkest of days.

"See you tomorrow." Isabella said waving goodbye and heading out of the house. Ferb and I followed. Lily stayed behind. I guessed she was not sure how Isabella would react to her coming along.

"Bye Isabella." I called as she went outside and towards her house. Ferb simply waved. Isabella waved back then headed away.

Isabella's POV

As I walk away from my friends' house. I found myself getting more and more upset and sad to be pulled away from Phineas. Not sad as in I wanted to cry, just as in not as good of a mood as I could normally be in. What made it worse is now Phineas was focusing on the stupid cat! I hated that cat. I had nothing against her personally. I thought she was cute myself, but when Phineas started going on about it. That is what I did not like.

I pushed my thoughts away. I would see Phineas tomorrow and he would be focusing on something else knowing him. Yep, that was Phineas for you. I gave a small smile to myself then walked into my own home.

Phineas' POV

After Isabella left, Ferb and I went back upstairs to talk more with Lily. She seemed uncomfortable around us at first. But grew to be more at ease. When she heard the door slam down stairs. She growled quietly and walked away from us.

"What's wrong?" I asked Lily.

"I do not trust many adult humans. I do not know why though. I hardly trust kids as well. But seeing as though you guys allowed me to communicate with you. I ended up trusting you." Lily closed her eyes. "I was taught not to trust humans." She muttered then added. "But I mostly trust you two."

I gave her a comforting grin before sighing. "Well come on. You need to come and meet our parents if you want to stay."

Lily did not move at first but reluctantly followed as we walked out. Ferb and I slid down the stair rail while Lily hurried down the stairs after us. When we got downstairs. Our parents were in the kitchen. We walked into the kitchen and exchanged greetings.

"Hey mom, dad. Can we keep a kitten we found?" I asked.

"Sure boys. It would be good for you two. Just remember. A kitten is a much bigger job then having a platypus because you guys have never owned one. You need many more supplies for a kitten. I should have a can of cat food on in the cabinet and a bowl. Everything else is up to you."

"That will be fine mom." I said with a nod.

About an hour later, after getting Lily all set up with a simple bed, a play set/scratching post, and a deluxe feeding area in our room. Ferb and I were able to sit down with everyone and able to eat. Pleased with the meal our mom cooked. We dug in. Finally after dinner, my step brother and I went upstairs. Lily was already curled up asleep in her own bed. Close by was Perry. He looked asleep but when we came in. He chattered.

"Go back to sleep Perry." I whispered. Not wanting to wake Lily.

My brother and I quickly and quietly got ready for bed before getting into our beds to sleep. It was about 8:30 when we were laying in our beds. But hey, we got up at 6:00 A.M. That was because we went to bed so early. I let a sleepy sigh, pleased that we were able to do something today before murmuring.

"Night."
