Hi everyone! As you all know, Phineas and Ferb is coming to an end which is why I'm taking the time to honor it by posting a new story. I plan to have this story done and posted before the final episode of Phineas and Ferb but as you all know, things tend to happen. Now before you assume anything, I'm not canceling my other Phineas and Ferb story, I will work on that one as well, but right now I have this story and I hope you all enjoy it.

Erick and story belongs to me

(Phineas's POV)

It was yet another summer day, and Ferb and I were working on our latest idea, healthy soda. "How's the carbonation levels looking?" I asked my green haired step brother.

He looked down at me from atop the main tank, and gave me a thumbs up before going back to work.

I looked back to the list of ingredients needed, and possible suppliers. "You know Ferb, if we manage to manufacture these ourselves, then we would be able to make these a lot more healthy, and better tasting."

Ferb turned to look at me, slightly annoyed.

"You're right Ferb." I said as I looked back at to my clip board. "To do that we would need to alter the genetics of the crops; and our expert on genetics isn't coming today."

Ferb nodded then went back to work. I continued to review my clip board as a question popped into my head. "Where is Erick anyway?"

Ferb looked back at me. "I think he said something about helping Katie with her computer or something."

"I didn't know Erick was good with computers." I responded.

(Erick's POV)

"I hate computers." I said as I failed, once again, to access the internet from Katie's computer. "Everything seems to be working but it just can't connect."

"Any idea what the problem is?" Katie asked from over my shoulder.

"No idea." I replied, as I threw my arms into the air. "I've checked every piece of software involved with the connection, but I simply can't find the problem. It's like it's not even connected." My arms dropped and I looked at Katie. "It is plugged into the router, right?"

"Of course it is." She responded. "It's not like I intentionally disconnected it so that you would come over or anything."

I looked at her for a moment. "Uh-huh." I responded. "Well, it's the only thing I can think of, so I'm going to take a look." I got off the chair and looked underneath the desk. After a little while, I was able to find the cord and see that it was plugged in, but there seemed to be something jammed in the jack. I carefully removed the plug to see that it was a piece of paper and that it was preventing the Ethernet cable from connecting the computer to the router. I carefully removed the paper and plugged the cable back in. "How's it doing now?" I asked.

There was a moment before I heard a response. "It's working! It's connected to the internet."

"Well that's good." I said with a sigh. I began to stand up but as I tried, I hit my head on the bottom of Katie's desk. "Ouch." I said before falling to the ground grasping my head.

"Erick!" Katie exclaimed as she ducked down to look at me. "Are you all right? You didn't suffer any brain damage forcing you to need surgery or anything, did you?"

"One of these days I'm going to find out where you get these ideas." I said as I tried to get up once more, only slowly this time. As I did however, I felt something paper-like fall, then slide to the floor. I looked over and saw a pink envelope with Phineas's name on it. "Hey what's this?" I asked as I picked it up. "Is this a love letter?"

Just as I said that, Katie ducked underneath the desk and tried to grab the letter. "No." She said as she pushed me against the underside of the desk. "You weren't supposed to see that."

"What, you have a crush on Phineas?" I asked as I kept the letter from her.

"No, it's not my letter." She said as she grabbed my hand holding the letter, trying to bring it within reach.

Katie was quickly and mysteriously overpowering me, so I switched hands and turned over so it would be harder for her to reach. "Then why do you have it?"

"I'm only holding onto it." She said as she tried to get around me.

I was beginning to lose the fight and knew that it was only a matter of time before Katie got her hands on the letter; so I decided to try and talk my way out of it. "I bet Isabella would be very interested in this letter you have here."

Katie froze. "You wouldn't!" She shouted. Just then we both heard a knock at the door and both of us scrambled out from underneath the desk.

The door slowly opened, revealing Katie's mom with a concerned look on her face. "Is everything all right in here?" She asked. "I heard screaming."

"Everything's fine." Katie responded.

"Yeah." I added. "I was just … getting frustrated while trying to fix Katie's computer, I'll be sure to take it easy and stop yelling."

"Well all right." Katie's mom responded. "By the way Erick, your uncle called and said that he wouldn't be able to pick you up, so I offered to take you home."

"That's okay." I responded. "I don't live far."

"If you insist." She said sweetly. "Just so you know, you're welcome to stay for dinner, if you wish."

"Thank you, but I might have to be on my way soon. I'll have to get back to you on that."

"All right." She said with a smile before closing the door.

I let out a sigh, then looked at Katie. "All right then, what is this?" I asked as I held up the letter.

"It's a pink letter addressed to Phineas." She responded before trying to grab it once more, only for me to pull it away before she could.

"Thank you." I said sarcastically. "That answers so much."

"Glad to help. Now hand it over." She demanded.

I rolled my eyes while shaking my head. "I wonder what Isabella would say if she found out about this letter."

"She wouldn't believe you." Katie replied as she tried to make another grab for the letter. "As far as she knows, the letter is lost in the depths of the American postal service forever."

I smiled. "Go on."

Katie sighed and continued. "Isabella wrote that letter so that she could express her feelings to Phineas without having to worry about getting nervous. But right after she mailed it, she had second thoughts, so she had us chase after it. We weren't very successful, but right when Phineas was about to read it something happened and Phineas and the mail lady started walking in reverse. Isabella thought that the letter would never see the light of day again but … I just got curious and managed to find it before it got lost in the depths of the mail room."

I looked at it before looking back to Katie. "So why not destroy it?"

"I couldn't." She said as she shook her head. "Isabella poured all her feelings for Phineas into that and … it felt like a shame to simply rip it up."

"I see your point." I responded. "So what do you plan to do with it?"

"No idea." She responded. "Not much I can do with it now, is there?"

"You could give it to Phineas." I said jokingly as I returned the letter. "I mean, Isabella was the one who wrote it, so you're in no way saying anything to him other than handing him a letter."

"Meaning I'm not breaking any promises." She said as she stared at it.

There was an awkward moment of silence before I spoke up. "You're not really thinking of doing it, are you?"

"Why not?" She asked. "I'm not breaking a promise, as a matter of fact, it's my duty to deliver this letter."

"That may be, but Isabella will still be pissed."

"Oh please, what's the worst that can happen?"

I thought to myself, for a moment, before responding. "I think you should spend some time thinking it over before going through with it."

"Fine." She said in defeat.

And that is the first chapter. I don't know when the second chapter will be posted but hopefully it will be soon. But until such time, I need to get to work on other things.
