A/N: Hey, guys! So sorry about accidently posting all three chapters at once… I was a bit confuzzled (confused and puzzled put together)! I want to thank everyone who reviewed chapter one. That made my day! So, back to the original author's note for chapter two! - Okay, so I know that you might be a little annoyed about the cliff hanger, but no worries! It just gets worse :) You're going to have to wait to get back to Isabella until I get to the chapter from Perry's point of view. So first up is Isabella, Phineas, Candace, Perry, Ferb and maybe Doofenshmirtz. Please let me know what you think about me doing a chapter from Doofenshmirtz's point of view in your review. Well… enjoy!
Chapter Two: Phineas
June 12, 2012
Phineas sat under the big tree in his back yard and moped. It had been six days since Isabella's disappearance, and he couldn't stand not having anyone to burst through the gate and say "Whatcha doin'?" It just didn't make sense. Where had she even gone? Maybe someone had taken her. He couldn't stand the thought of someone capturing his best friend, his favorite fireside girl (no offense to the others), and his buddy and neighbor since they were kids. He just didn't get it, and to make things worse, Perry had disappeared mysteriously that day too. Phineas didn't know what was going on, and needed to find out.
Suddenly, the gate swung open. Phineas smiled brightly and exclaimed, "Isa- oh, it's you guys. Hi." Phineas' spirits dropped when he only saw Baljeet and Buford enter the lonely back yard.
"Oh, well I see how it is." Baljeet said, smiling.
"I'm not trying to make you feel bad or anything, it's just that I'm worried about Isabella. I just want her to come back." Phineas said, followed by a sigh.
"Eh, she'll come back. Right now, I'm just wondering one thing." Buford replied.
"Oh, oh! Let me guess," Baljeet cleared his throat, "Hey, where's Ferb?" Baljeet giggled.
"What? No you nerd! Where's the nearest ice cream parlor!" Buford replied, annoyed.
"Oh, well sorry! Shouldn't you know, though? You've lived here all your life!" Baljeet argued shyly.
"I ought to give you a wedgie right now!" Buford grumbled. Baljeet forced a scared smiled, took step back, and asked Phineas nervously, "So where is Ferb anyway?"
"Inside, helping Mom with some laundry." Phineas sighed. He wished he could just figure out something to do to find Isabella. It was just so lonely without her. He had wished so many times that all this was just a nightmare, but it wasn't. This was real. Phineas knew that he had to accept that, but couldn't and he wouldn't.
"Okay, so got any plans for today, Phinn?" Baljeet asked, elbowing Phineas lightly.
"Not really. Ferb and I both agreed that there is nothing to do without Isabella here." Phineas sighed and laid his head back.
"Okay, dinner bell, but don't let this disappearance thing stop you from making any thing fun or ice creamy, or else this nerd won't be the only one visiting Wedgieville." Buford threatened, picking up Baljeet like suitcase and walking out of the back yard.
Phineas laid his triangular shaped head back and closed his eyes. He thought about June 6, the day that Isabella had gone missing. The very thought of this day made his stomach tighten, his head hurt, and his throat sting. Before he knew it, he was slipping into a flashback.
Phineas had woken up to his noisy alarm clock that day. Apparently, Ferb hadn't heard it and Phineas was forced (more like delighted) to throw a pillow at his green haired step-brother to wake him up.
They had run down stairs and joined Candace for breakfast. She had her dirty light pink bath robe on that she always put on in the morning and sat at the table slouching with her head resting on her hand. She was eating her favorite cereal, Sparkle OH's. Linda, Phineas' mom, had been making some kind of concoction for her Bridge Club meeting.
"Good morning Mom, Candace, and Perry!" Phineas had said, smiling brightly.
"Good morning, boys! How are you all this morning?" Linda asked.
"Fine, the both of us are fine. What about you Candace are you good? You look kind of mopey and that's never good if someone's mopey. Maybe you could" Phineas was talking so fast that Candace, Linda, and Ferb could barely keep up.
"Whoa, little bro! Slow it down." Candace had said, faking her enthusiasm. Then, she snapped, "And I am not being mopey!"
"Watch it, Grumpy Gus!" Linda scolded. Candace huffed and crossed her arms.
"So, what are you boys going to do today?" Linda asked, curious to hear their imaginative answer. It made her so happy that her kids were so creative.
"I'm not sure yet. We're trying to decide if we're going to make an exotic petting zoo or a semi-aquatic carnival. What do you think, Mom?" Phineas replied, smiling brightly.
"I think that I have two of the most cute and creative boys in the universe." Linda gave them each a hug, smiled brightly at them both, and then went back to whatever it was she was creating. Candace huffed and laid her head down on the table. Then, Candace got up and danced away with a talking pelican that called her Marvin for some strange reason. A giant hot dog ran after them yelling, "Wait! I'm coming, my besties!"
After breakfast, Phineas and Ferb went outside to the big tree. They had become so fond of it that they started calling it 'The Big Tree'. This was probably because it was indeed a big tree.
"Okay Ferb, so petting zoo or carnival. What do you say?" Phineas asked, his blue his sparkling.
"Definitely the exotic petting zoo." Ferb replied.
"Cool! Let's get started."
Phineas grinned. Phineas used the house phone to call Woodland's Wood Factory. He ordered seventeen boxes of wood from the factory. The next call was delivered to Metals Inc. where he ordered lots of metal. Next he called the zoo to ask to borrow a couple lions, tigers, and bears. The zookeepers first reply was "Oh, my!" but Phineas wasn't even close to done with placing his 'order'. And of course, every time he had to sign his name on the order form, he was asked "Aren't you a little young to be ordering so much wood?" or "Aren't you a little young to need this much metal?" or "Aren't you a little young to be borrowing twelve different species of wild animals?" And, of course, he would answer "Yes, yes I am." And they would reply by saying something about being glad about young people taking an interest in whatever they were giving him. This was a normal morning for Phineas.
After about fifteen minutes of work, Buford and Baljeet had joined them. At about this time Candace had peeked her head out of the door and said, "Phineas, what do you think you're doing?" she demanded.
"Building an exotic petting zoo. Want to help?" Phineas replied, clearly distracted by the zoo.
"No, but I will tell mom!" Candace snapped back. She smiled and left yelling, "Mo-om! Oh, Mother dear! Mom! Hey Mom! YO MOM!"
Isabella came into the back yard soon after their encounter with Candace. She had accepted helping them out with the petting zoo and Phineas went to go get some gloves for her. He didn't know why, but everyone else had followed. Isabella was alone in the back yard. This was something that Phineas didn't think anything of this, but now he wished that he had because when he got back, Isabella was nowhere to be found. He had told his mom when they had failed to find her after looking for almost an hour, thinking that she was playing an innocent game of hide and go seek. Then, they let Mrs. Garcia Shapiro know. As soon as she found out, she called the police. They had been looking for her since.
Phineas sat up and rubbed his eyes. He might've drifted to sleep some during his flash back. That would probably explain the talking pelican with the giant hot dog as her best friend. Phineas laughed for the first time in six days. He got up and went inside to see if dinner would be ready soon.
