A/N: Srry for the wait again, but this time i can blame it on COMPUTER PROBLEMS. ...yeah my laptop just split in two and I never dropped it or anything! Well since I realized that I had 50 reviews(WOOT! WOOT!" I thought I'd make this chapter longer. Enjoy~

"If I were a goldfish, where would I go?" Holly thought as she checked a bed of seaweed. She sighed when she didn't see anything and looked over where Buford was. Said bully was violently knocking over rocks, pulling out the plants, and basically scaring away all of the marine life.

"Biff!...Biff!...Where are you!" He screamed.

"I really hope that the other guys are having better luck than we are." Holly thought as she went over toward Buford to do some damage control. Since the submarine crashed they didn't have all the technology that would've helped them find Biff in a couple of minutes. Holly estimated that they would be there for a couple of hours.

"If not days," The thought lingered in her head and Holly immediately shook it away. She couldn't think negative at a time like this, but she wondered if anyone else had thought about that.

"There are a million stupid fish in this sea! How are we supposed to find one little goldfish?" Rick screamed from frustration as he tried to untangle himself from some seaweed. He let out a sigh as he only ended up getting himself stuck more.

"Struggling won't help." The crook-in-training forced himself to stay still and looked around and couldn't see Ferb anywhere. He swam away a while ago, promising that he wouldn't go far and that he would come back soon.

"Hey little bud! You out there? I could really use some help right now!" He screamed toward the direction he thought Ferb swam in. He paused, but heard no response. He took a deep breath and tried not to panic.

"Little bud?" He tried again, but no response.

"Time to panic!" He thought and started fighting against the seaweed again.

"I will not lose against you, evil seaweed," Rick said to the plant, "Prepare to Perish-AHHHH"

He felt something grab his leg and prepared to throw a punch, but when he looked down he only saw Ferb. He chuckled out of fear,

"Hey, little bud! A little help here, please?"

"Do you see him?" Rico asked as he and Buck searched around a wrecked ship.

Buck sighed and shook his head, "Why are we even helping them again? Couldn't we just buy the kid a new goldfish?"

Rico laughed, "I know, right? I've been thinking about that the whole time. Is that wrong-to be thinking like that, I mean?"

Buck laughed along with his friend. "Apparently not, since we're both thinking it."

"We both could be wrong." Rico pointed out as he looked at the array of fish that made the ship their home. It was astounding, though none of them we're Biff.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Buck agreed, and then added, "It helps pass the time until we get to see Candace again." This statement caused both of them to smile.

"I can't believe we get to talk to such a legend!" Rico tried not to squeal, but he just couldn't help it.

"I know, right." Buck said feeling just as giddy.

"If Phineas were here I bet we would be teamed up together looking for Biff, holding hands and charming the sea creatures."

Gretchen tried not to roll her eyes.

"Isabella don't you think we should focus on finding Biff," Gretchen suggested, "Phineas might be really happy if you were the one to find Biff." She drew out the last sentence knowing it would convince Isabella to get focused.

"You're right!" Isabella exclaimed as she started to swim faster, searching for the little goldfish.

"Though, it would be better if Phineas was here." Isabella muttered under her breath, but Gretchen still heard her and replied.

"If you want you could hold my hand and charm the little fish,"

"Shut up Gretchen." Isabella said sensing the sarcasm.

"Biff!" Buford screamed. He couldn't believe he lost Biff, again! He felt like the worst pet owner ever. He should've listened to Baljeet (not that he would say that out loud) when he told him never take his fish to another open body of water. At least Biff was in a little bag so he wouldn't be contaminated by this water. He went to kick over a rock but thought better of it. Holly had yelled at him for disturbing the ecosystem. He would listen to her for now, but he would destroy everything in his path if it meant that he would get Biff back.

Ferb stopped his search to think. There had to be an easier way to find Biff. He couldn't believe that he didn't make portable tracking devices matching the technology in the submarine.

"Usually Phineas and I-"

Phineas!

If he didn't make them then Phineas would've. He would need to call him as soon as he got back to land, but how long had he been underwater? Ferb sighed, it was timeless underwater. He realized it had been quite a while since he had rescued Rick from the seaweed. He wished he had a watch. Ferb then turned and motioned Rick to come over.

Rick swam over and Ferb pointed to his wrist three times. Rick getting that he wanted to know the time looked at his water-proof watch.

"It's 7:30! Oh! My! Gosh! We have to get back to shore!" Rick said already swimming up. Ferb was shocked as well; he didn't mean to stay down there for so long. He pushed the button on his helmet signaling the group to resurface and telling Tom to come get them. With that done he followed the frantic teen to the surface.

"I can't believe we missed our chance to hang out with a legend!" Buck cried out.

"She must think that we stood her up!" Rico groaned as if he were in pain.

"I hope she doesn't think that!" Rick exclaimed, both of his hands were covering his face. "We'll just explain everything to her at the motel."

"If she hasn't packed up and left already," Rico said dejectedly.

"Dude don't even think that!" Buck screamed.

"Yeah!" Rick agreed giving his friend a small glare.
"Sorry!" Rico said putting his hands in the air as if surrendering. "Don't kill me. I was just thinking about all the possibilities,"

The group was currently on Tom's boat heading back to shore. The three teens had immediately started to argue and complain when the saw each other.

"What are they arguing about?" Isabella whispered to Holly as they watched them.

"I don't really know," Holly whispered back. "Apparently they were supposed to meet a celebrity at five o'clock."

Isabella nodded and then asked, "Do you think Buford's going to be okay?"

Holly only shrugged. It had taken Rick, Rico, Buck, and Tom to get the bully on the boat.

"I think he's just frustrated that we didn't find him in a couple of hours like last time." Gretchen piped in.

"Yeah I guess," Holly nodded. "But it isn't like we have all the technology to find him that fast."

"It's like finding a needle in a haystack." Isabella sighed. They would probably never find the gold fish.

"Ferb will find a way though!" Gretchen said noting the negative atmosphere.

Isabella and Holly smiled at her; Gretchen always knew the right thing to say.

"She wasn't at the beach and Uncle said that she hasn't been here since this morning." Rick said stuffing his mouth with mashed potatoes.

"Well that means that she hasn't packed up and left!" Buck said excitedly.

"Then where is she? It's almost nine o'clock." Rico asked.

The teens were silent for a moment until Rick said,

"She's at a party! I mean, she is famous after all."

The teens thought that was a logical explanation and weren't worried anymore.

"And if she doesn't come back tonight we know that she just crashed at a friend's house." Rico said.

"Dude, that's the most positive thing you've said all day!" Buck stated laughing.

Isabella smiled as she watched the three teens interact with each other from across the table. The smile quickly turned into a frown when she remembered that Buford had immediately gone to his room (Rick's uncle is letting them stay there for free) for the night without even eating. That's what really worried her and the rest of the group. Ferb wasn't eating with them either. He had grabbed two plates of food and went to the room as well (they were sharing). She had noticed on the boat that Ferb was texting. She wondered who he could be talking to. Maybe it was Phineas. She wondered how he was doing.

2:36 am.

Isabella kept staring at the number. She blinked.

2:37 am.

"Why can't I sleep?" She thought and sat up. "Maybe a warm glass of milk will help." She slowly got up so she wouldn't disturb Holly and Gretchen and tiptoed out the room. When she got near the kitchen area of the motel she noticed that the light was on and that she heard someone talking.

"Okay now remember once you put the final screw on pull the antenna up and test it. If the light turns red you did it right. If it doesn't you probably messed up a wire."

"Phineas!" Isabella thought and ran the last couple steps to the kitchen. She saw Ferb sitting at the table with a blueprint and pieces of metal and wire were spread on the table. She then noticed that Ferb's phone was lying next to the blueprint open.

"Oh, he must be on speaker," Isabella concluded and sat down next to Ferb. "Hey Phineas, what'cha doing?"

"Hey Isabella! I'm not doing much just helping Ferb make something so you all can find Biff. You'll have to tell me all about you're adventure when we get back home. Goodnight Isabella and Ferb."

They both told him goodnight and a click was heard letting them know that Phineas had hung-up. Isabella was almost giddy.

"He wants to spend time alone with me and talk," She sighed dreamily. Though she quickly stopped when she noticed Ferb was staring at her.

"Just getting some warm milk to help me sleep," She started awkwardly, and stood up. She quickly got the milk from the refrigerator and poured some in the kettle on the stove. After she turned the stove on she looked back over at Ferb, who was looking at the blueprints while screwing something together.

"He looks tired," Isabella thought and as if on cue Ferb yawned and rubbed his eyes.

Ferb tried to concentrate as he screwed the battery onto place, but he was so tired and stressed. When he got on the boat he had texted Phineas about his dilemma and of course when he got back to the motel Phineas called and asked for all the details. So he ended up telling him everything about the last two days. He even had to ask him to lie to mom to cover for Candace since she didn't answer her phone.

Then when he apologized for lying and not telling the truth he acted like it was no big deal which made him feel even more guilty (For what he does not know). Though that was all over now and now all he had to do was complete the Biff tracking device. Apparently, Phineas put a tracking device on Biff after the first accident and all he had to do was build the tracker and get a hold of the device's frequency. Another yawn escaped from his mouth.

"If I don't fall asleep first," He thought bitterly. He then jumped when a mug was placed in front of him. He turned to see Isabella sitting next to him again, drinking from her mug. He looked into the mug in front of him and realized that she had made them some hot chocolate with a lot of marshmallows.

"How can I help?" Isabella asked between sips. "I do have my 'assistant patch',"

For the first time all day, Ferb smiled.

Review please! Like I said a million times before they get me to update faster~
