Six
Isabella silently seethed as she walked behind Irving and Phineas towards the beach. She'd been so close! But bad timing had ruined everything.
The one thing that she wanted to do was yell at Irving. The little stalker was making her wait longer for what she wanted more than anything in the world.
Phineas fell back to walk next to Isabella. "Should we tell the others about my powers?" he asked.
Isabella thought for a second before saying, "No. I think that Candace might… freak out."
Phineas nodded in agreement. "I could see that," he said. "So I guess that it's our little secret?"
"Yes!" said Isabella, hiding the excitement inside of her.
The three kids arrived at the beach.
Baljeet came over to greet them. "Hi Isabella! Phineas! I see you're awake."
"Awake and feeling better than ever!" said Phineas, sounding like his usual old self.
"Ferb already gutted and skinned the chicken and is currently roasting it over a fire," Baljeet told them. He gestured to his left and Isabella saw the chicken, which was actually pretty big for a chicken.
"I'll go help him," said Irving. He ran to the fire.
Isabella noticed Candace and Buford lying near Ferb, completely exhausted.
Baljeet looked in the direction she was looking. "Catching the chicken wasn't easy," he said. "It's probably the most exercise that I'd ever done."
"But you're perfectly fine?" asked Phineas.
"The smell of food fueled me," Baljeet said. "Say, would you two like to come with me to get some coconuts from a nearby coconut tree?"
"Sure!" said Phineas. He looked at Isabella. "Are up to it?"
"Always," she said.
"Great! Follow me!" said Baljeet. He walked down the beach, staying near the forest that seemed to go on forever.
After about twenty yards of walking, Isabella saw two red eyes in the forest, glaring at them.
Isabella showed Phineas, who mouthed, "Distract Baljeet."
Isabella stuck out her foot, causing Baljeet to trip and fall on his face.
Phineas fired a ball of white light into the forest, but the red eyes were already gone.
Baljeet stood up and wiped sand from his clothes. "Sorry for my clumsiness," he apologized. "Follow me. We're almost there."
After another ten yards of walking, Isabella saw a tree on the edge of the forest that held several coconuts.
"I'll climb up the tree and shake them down," Baljeet said. He ran to the tree and began to scamper up.
Isabella saw the red eyes in the forest again. She pointed them out to Phineas, who dove into the forest.
Almost immediately, flashes of red and white light could be seen from the forest.
"What is that?" asked Baljeet. "Do you see those lights?"
"I don't see anything," Isabella lied. "It must be your imagination."
Suddenly, Baljeet lost his footing and slid down the tree and bounced into the forest.
Right after that happened, Phineas came flying out of the forest and grunted as he landed on his back a few feet to the right of Isabella.
He sprung to his feet and blasted a ball of white light at the cobra they saw earlier, who was now slithering out of the forest.
The snake dodged the attack, hissed, and dove into the sand.
A second later, the cobra popped out of the sand ten feet behind Phineas. Two beams of blood red light came out of the snake's eyes and hit Phineas in the back, sending the boy back into the forest.
The cobra quickly slithered back into the forest as Baljeet came out, picking burrs out of his overalls. He began to climb up the tree again.
There were a few more flashes of light before Phineas stumbled out of the forest and gave Isabella a thumbs up.
At least that's taken care of, she thought.
Suddenly, coconuts fell to the ground from up above. Isabella and Phineas looked up and saw that Baljeet had climbed atop the tree and was shaking it, causing the coconuts to fall.
"Sorry," Baljeet apologized. "I probably should have warned you." He stopped shaking the tree and slid down.
Isabella counted nine coconuts on the sand. And there were still four in the tree.
Phineas, Baljeet, and Isabella each took three coconuts and headed back to the campfire.
Maybe this isn't too bad, thought Isabella. We have food and shelter now. And I have a pending relationship with Phineas. I guess this place isn't so bad after all.
It would only be a couple of hours before she realized that she was wrong.
Well, what do you think? Please review and let me know. I appreciate it when you do and I make sure to upload faster. There's some excitement coming soon.
