Chapter 7
"What do you mean there won't be a way out there until tomorrow?" Phineas, not surprisingly, was not happy with the man. He looked down at his tracker which put Isabella a good 100 miles in the desert.
"I send out two trucks twice a week kid and if you have a problem with that you can suck my big hairy.."
"That's enough out of you thank you for the help!" Candace shouted interrupting the man and pushing her brothers away. It was rare to see Phineas mad about something but when he was he put his normal 110% into it.
"Well what are we supposed to do now?" Phineas asked calming down. Candace seemed to be thinking on that before he even asked though.
"I guess we should find a place to sleep and them maybe something to eat." Phineas clearly thought this was a good idea. Especially since finding a place to sleep could be really hard. After walking around for a couple hours all they had really found was some fruit which they happily ate. Finally they found someone who seemed to English.
"Do you know where a hotel is?" Candace asked hopefully. The man shook his head no
"Is there a nice place we could sleep anywhere nearby?" Ferb asked and again the man shook his head no. Phineas rolled his eyes and pulled out some of the money they had brought with them.
"Now do you know where we could sleep?" The man nodded happily and led them to a rather nice hotel. Phineas gave him twenty bucks which the man graciously accepted. They ordered a room and, for fear of leaving, bought some candy from a vending machine in the lobby for dinner. They all found soft spots on the floor and decided to make sure they didn't sleep anywhere near them. Phineas was staring out the window after Ferb and Candace fell asleep. He looked down at his modified phone at Isabella's unchanged position just as a 'low-battery' warning showed up and the phone died. He tossed it to the side having already memorized the whole section of the map Isabella was in detail for detail. If the map zoomed far enough he probably would have counted all the rocks between where he was and where she was in the desert. He looked up at the gigantic full moon which was illuminating the whole room.
"Don't worry Isabella. I'm coming to get you." Phineas wrote a quick note and left it on his bed saying he was going to the lobby for some air in case Candace or Ferb woke up to him being gone. As he walked down the stairs he could feel the eyes staring at him. In this small town he was sure everyone had heard about the crazy Americans looking for a girl who the thought was in the middle of the desert.
Isabella sat outside the tent with a blanket on looking up at all the stars. It was amazing how many stars she could see here, where there were no lights to otherwise block them. She felt her mind drift to her mom and her friends and Phineas and Pinky and everyone in Danville. She was sure they were all looking for her if they were still looking. Especially Phineas and Ferb. Now that she thought about it, it was weird they weren't here. They must be searching the town with everyone else. Why would they ever think she would be here of all places. She looked up at the big white moon in front of her. "I'll be back soon, Phineas." She couldn't wait to get back. Her dad was okay and all but she would rather see him on a more natural basis.
Phineas walked into the lobby which more-so resembled an outdoor patio with the way it was set up. He sat down at an upright piano nearby and started playing before someone told him he couldn't
I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back
I want you back
My neighbors think
I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I have
You're all I have
At night when the stars
Light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the Moon
Trying to get to you
In hopes you're on
The other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
Who sits alone
Talking to the moon
I'm feeling like I'm famous
The talk of the town
They say
I've gone mad
Yeah I've gone mad
But they don't know
what I know
Cause when the
sun goes down
someone's talking back
Yeah they're talking back
At night when the stars
light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the Moon
Trying to get to You
In hopes you're on
the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
who sits alone
Talking to the moon
Do you ever hear me calling?
Cause every night
I'm talking to the moon
Still trying to get to you
In hopes you're on
the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
who sits alone
Talking to the moon
I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
Phineas was going to find Isabella; he knew he would no matter what.
