A/N: ... I shouldn't even try. Lol. I have no excuses other than the fact that I just didn't want to write. I just haven't been in the 'Phineas and Ferb' mood. There hasn't been any episode or moment that's really made me feel like going 'I like that! I'm writing!' But here I am!
A certain reviewer said that my chapters were turning out the same. :) What can I say? They're all oneshots, they all have to somehow a bit the same, but they're totally different situations. Thanks for the comment, though! It gave me something to think about, and I agree. I'm setting my chapters to be different. I'm definitely going to work on it. I'm hoping for this one to be different.
The band for this chapter is one of my favorites! It's a Canadian band. You should to listen to the song. It's awesome. Whenever I play it I think of Phinabella.
DISCLAIMER: Again, I don't own PnF. If I did... I dunno.
Friends by Hedley
Phineas stared at the trains rushing past him. The smoke from the burning coal drifted through the air and wound around him like a blanket of silk. The sharp smell of the smoke spread throughtout the train station and the sounds of whistles echoed from the stone walls. The girl next to him was clasping her hands tightly, her teeth bit her lower lip as she looked around the station. Her soft black bangs hung in her eyes as she peered around.
Phineas glanced at Isabella. He didn't know what to say. He didn't even know how they got into this situation.
Just a month ago Isabella had burst into his backyard in tears and Phineas didn't have a clue why. He remembered her throwing her arms around him and bringing him into a strong hug, and then the two words were whispered. The two words he never ever wanted to hear coming from those soft lips...
"I'm moving."
The next thing he knew he was standing here. In the middle of a train station waiting for the train that would take his best friend back to Mexico forever.
Phineas felt a small smooth hand clasp his. Isabella glanced at him. "A million miles away, that's what it will feel like." she let out a sigh. Isabella had never thought that she would ever leave her town, her friends... Phineas. But now she was facing it head on.
The two 14 year olds kept their hands intertwinded as they began to walk down the walkwayt to Isabella's train. Their families stayed behind the teenagers and watched with sad smiles as they saw them walk hand in hand.
Phineas and Isabella had always been intimate with their friendly gestures. They had known each other for so long, ever since they were toddlers, that it had just become normal for them. Splittling the two up would be like ripping out a part of they souls, their being.
As they appraoched closer to the drop off area Phineas and Isabella found themselves grasping each others hand securely. They were in perfect synch as they treaded down the corridor. Next to them, a train whizzed past; the floor was shaken by the force of it and the two friends almost stumbled forward. When the group of Flynn-Fletchers and the Garcia-Shapiros made it to the drop off they found themselves to be in a comfortable silence. Ferb was the first to give the Shapiros a sentence of good-bye. "Even if you're gone, our memories will be forever." (1) Everyone smiled at his saying.
Over the announcement system the former neighbors heard what they all had dreaded tohear. "The next non-stop train to Mexico will be arriving in the next five minutes." (2)
The red haired teen turned around to face his best friend, ocean blue eyes met brown and Isabella tried to look away. Beforehead turned Phineas softly grasped her chin. The small girl's breath hitched at the contact. Isabella could see all of the emotions mixed up in Phineas's eyes. Sadness, hurt, even a bit of anger, and something else she couldn't recognize.
The only thing Phineas could think about was how Isabella was leaving forever. The would be no more help to give to the Fireside Girls, no Pinky bothering Perry and having Isabella and him stopping it, no more 'Watcha doin'?'s. He looked at the girl in front of him; her brown eyes were clouded with grief and tears were threatening to fall. The shorter boy was overwhelmed with al that he felt as he wrapped his arms around her waist, holding on as if to keep her with him, grounded to this spot with him.
Isabella's eyes widened as she felt Phineas embrace her. The boy had always been exremely passionate to all, but this seemed more intimate than anything else had had done. Isabella bowed her head and rested it on his shoulder, her arms wrapped around his waist as she shed her unreleased tears. Leaving Phineas was the last thing she wanted to do, yet it was the FIRST thing she was going to do. She felt like a failure.
"I'll miss you." Phineas murmured.
"I l- I'll miss you, too." Isabella held on evern tighter to her long-time crush.
An ear-splitting train whistle was blasted out and the pair regrettingly pulled away from each other. As the large train approached Isabella felt herself drawing closer and closer to Phineas.
The train came to a stop, Mrs. Garcia Shapiro rested her hand on her daughter's shoulder and whispered, "Isa, it's time to go."
Time to go... time to forget. Isabella thought.
As Isabella walked toward the train and started stepping up the stairs she sensed Phineas's hand slipping into hers, giving her a reassuring squeeze. He leaned his face to hers, pressing their foreheads together, and whispered. "You and me. Isabella, we'll always be friends." He let go of her hand and backed away as the doors began to close.
The train started moving and Isabella ran to the back of the train. She saw Phineas raise his arm and wave in a good-bye. Isabella automatically gestured back. Phineas saw her face slowly fall and he smiled encouragingly. "Friends." he mouthed as he waved "Forever and always."
Isabella nodded and grinned back at him. He always made her smile. But no matter what she knew her happiness would come to an end.
The farthur away Isabella was from Phineas, the more she felt her heart break.
A/N: I just realized how sad this chapter was... we're back to the basics!
1: Reference to what Ferb said to Candace in 'Lights, Action, Candace'
2: I don't know if they actually have a train that goes straight to Mexico, but this is fancition so let's just pretend there is!
Again, sorry I haven't updated, school has started and homework is coming in hoards. I've been drowning in it. But it's Labor Day weekend so here I am!
I hope you all liked it, my goal is now to update EVERY TWO WEEKS. Maybe less than two. Maybe.
Like it? Love it? Hate it because that stupid train kept them apart, and it shouldn't happen, because they have to be together and ride off into the sunset on a unicorn carrying cotton candy and Burty Bots Every Flavour Beans *ahem* Tell me what you think: review!
