Hey, everyone, this fanfiction (along with The Kids of Eternity) has two reviews for its previous chapters. And since I like to end chapters with suspense, it takes longer for me to upload since I don't know how well you all like it, which means that the longer it takes for the reader to find out what happens next. When I get five new reviews, I will upload the next chapter ASAP. Bottom line, please review. Other than that, enjoy!:
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Phineas and Ferb. It is owned by Dan Povenmire, Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, and The Disney–ABC Television Group.
Chapter Four
Isabella and Ferb carried Phineas all the way to the newly built shelter. Then, Phineas was carefully put in his bed of leaves in the room he shared with Ferb.
Candace, Buford, Irving, and Baljeet had followed Isabella and Ferb back to the shelter. Right now, Phineas' sister stood in the doorway with the other three boys standing solemnly behind her.
Isabella turned around to look at Candace. "Why did Phineas pass out when the hornet stung him?" asked Isabella. "Is he allergic?"
"I doubt it," replied Candace. "In second grade, he was stung by a bee, and in fourth grade he was stung by a wasp. He had no allergic reactions to either sting. I know that neither is a hornet, but they're close enough."
"We should probably let Phineas get some rest," suggested Ferb after turning around to face his sister.
"Probably," said Candace. "But what rooms do we sleep in?"
Ferb pulled out five leaves the size of cantaloupes, and handed one to Candace, Buford, Baljeet and Irving. On the maps on the leaves, the first initial of someone's name (or Bu. For Buford and Ba. For Baljeet) indicated the room that they were sleeping in. Candace, Phineas, Ferb and Isabella all had rooms upstairs. Everyone else slept downstairs.
Isabella walked out of Phineas and Ferb's room once the doorway was cleared and went to her own room, which was right next to the boys' room.
Isabella closed the door and plopped onto her bed of leaves, which was a large wooden bowl filled with leaves and a thin blanket made of bamboo that Ferb had found.
She had a hard time going to sleep. Her thoughts were all about Phineas and whether or not he'd be okay. After what seemed like hours, Isabella fell asleep.
When she woke up, sunlight streamed through the small window near just above Isabella's bed.
She blinked a couple of times and saw Irving standing in the doorway.
"Have you heard of knocking?" she snapped.
"Oh, sorry," said Irving sheepishly. "I just wanted to let you know that Phineas hasn't woken up yet."
"Thanks for the update," said Isabella.
"There's something else," Irving said. "Me and the others, well except for Phineas obviously, are gonna go out to look for food and want to know if you can stay here and watch Phineas. And if you don't want to, me or Ferb would be happy to do it."
"Of course!" said Isabella.
"Wonderful," said Irving un-excitedly. "Well, we'll be back before sundown, hopefully, with some food." He closed the door.
Isabella walked over to the window and watched Candace, Ferb, Buford, Baljeet, and Irving leave the shelter and go into the surrounding woods.
Isabella then left her own room and went into Phineas'. She found a wooden chair, pulled it up next to Phineas' bed, sat down and took his hand in hers. Then the waiting began.
As she waited, Isabella not only thought about Phineas, but also about food. She was extremely hungry and figured it had been about twenty hours since she had last eaten. If the others came back with no food, Isabella figured they'd probably have to start eating tree branches. It was very unsanitary and probably would get someone sick, but it was something to put in their grumbling stomachs.
After finishing that thought, Isabella looked out the window and figured that it was a couple of hours past midday. Then, she looked down at Phineas, who, to her surprise, looked back at her.
"Isabella?" he asked. His voice was hoarse. "What happened?"
"Phineas!" cried Isabella. She let some of her emotions take over her and pulled him into a hug.
"The hornet sting," recalled Phineas after the hug ended. "I felt really weird after that. Have I been out since then?"
Isabella nodded. "Me and Ferb carried you back here."
Suddenly, there was the sound of the door to the shelter opening and footsteps downstairs.
"That must be the others," said Isabella excitedly. "This morning, everyone else left to go get some food!"
"Oh, good," said Phineas. "I hope they have something, because I'm starving!"
"I'll be right back," Isabella said. She hurried out of the room and down the stairs. When she got to the living room, Isabella stifled a scream.
In the living room, there was a lion, a tiger, a hawk twice the size it should be, and a fifteen foot long cobra as thick as a Weiner dog. All looked at Isabella.
"Where isssss the onnne sssstung by thhhe hhhornnnett!" hissed the cobra.
Isabella tried to respond, but her voice failed her.
The hawk glared at her and the lion growled.
"Annsssswer my quessssssssstion!" the cobra hissed angrily.
Isabella found her voice. "He-he's in one of the rooms back there," she said, pointing behind the animals. "I'm gonna go now!"
She bolted back up the stairs and into Phineas' room. As Isabella ran, she wondered why all these animals showed up and was looking for Phineas. It seemed random and unorganized. Plus, the cobra was very intimidating.
When Phineas saw Isabella enter the room, he sensed something wasn't right. "What's wrong?" he asked.
A lion, a large cobra, a hawk, and a tiger are all down stairs looking for you," she breathed. "And something tells me that they may not be friendly. We need to get out of here! Can you walk?"
Phineas stood up and nodded. "I'll manage," he said. "Let's go."
Isabella led Phineas out of the bedroom, down the stairs and out the door. Unfortunately, the hawk had seen them escaping and let out an earsplitting cry.
Phineas and Isabella were on the trail by the time the animals were out of the log cabin.
"I don't think we can out run them," said Phineas as he and Isabella ran. "I can see the hawk flying above us!"
Suddenly, the lion and the tiger leaped out of the forest, blocking Phineas and Isabella.
"Attack!" ordered the cobra. "And get the girl too! Ssssshhhe liied to ussssssssss!"
"Leave us alone!" shouted Phineas.
The tiger ignored him, roared and pounced on Isabella.
She screamed as the tiger raised his paw and extended his claws.
"You! Will! Not! Harm! Isabella!" bellowed Phineas. He cupped his hands and brilliant white ball of light shot out of his hands and hit the tiger into the forest.
So now Phineas has powers. What do you think of the story? Please review! When you do, I know that you like it and want more (well, unless it's negative). Bottom line, if you want to find out what happens next sooner rather than later, REVIEW!
