I know I know, I said that I would update this between other stories. But if you remember what I actually said was that I was going to be updating this at least between stories. So in short don't expect another update on this before I finish 'Welcome to L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N.'

Disclaimer: I don't own anything or anyone except Erick.


(Isabella's POV)

I was lying on my bed crying my heart out "Phineas doesn't like me! Why does he not like me?" couldn't figure it out; I mean we've only been friends for what our whole lives? And still he doesn't like me? I concluded that if he didn't return my feelings by now then he probably never would. This of course only made me cry more. I decided that I needed someone to talk to so I opened my phone and read through my list of contacts "Adyson, Baljeet, Buford, Django, Erick, Ferb, Ginger, Gretchen, Holly, Katie … didn't Erick say something about being late to meet her? She probably has some time to kill" I pressed send and waited for her to pick up.

"… … … Hello? Isabella is that you?" I heard Katie say.

"Ya it's me" I said weakly.

"You don't sound too good, what's wrong?"

"It's kinda a long story, you free to talk?"

"Well ya I'm free for the moment, Erick's running late again so I have some time to kill" I laughed a little when she said that Erick was running late 'again' seeing as this is only their first date.

"Well the thing is … I found out that … Phineas doesn't like me" I let out a silent tear at that last part.

"Oh my gosh! What happened?"

"Well it started when everyone left his backyard talking about the plans that they had with later that evening, oh which reminds me Erick should be on his way"

"Thank you, but please continue"

"Well I asked Phineas if he had any one special in his life that he really cared for and …"

"… He didn't say that it was someone other than you did he?"

"No he said that he didn't special feelings about anyone" I started to cry again.

"Isabella … he could just … he could just be lying about it so you wouldn't catch on"

I paused for a second and thought back to the moment in question "No … he wasn't lying … when he lies or hides something he scratches his ear … and he wasn't scratching his ear when he ripped out my heart." I let out another sob.

"Maybe he just hasn't developed feelings for you yet or… or maybe he hasn't realized that he has feelings for you."

"We have lived across the street from each other our whole lives. If he hasn't developed feelings for me by now then what are the odds that he will ever develop feelings for me?" There was a long pause.

"Not to good I'd imagine."

Suddenly I heard Erick's voice over the phone "sorry I'm late Katie!"

"Erick! I'm on the phone, please wait a minute"

I playfully rolled my eyes "you have me on speaker don't you?" I asked.

"Ya sorry my main speaker is broken so until I get it fixed I have to leave my phone on speaker."

"That's fine" I smiled a little "anyway I shouldn't keep you two; I'll talk to you later alright Katie?"

"If it's alright with you then sure"

"Okay, bye"

I was about to hang up my phone when I heard Katie's voice come from it "Isabella You going to be Okay?"

I gave her a small laugh "I'll live" I hung up the phone and laid down on my bed "what should I do?" I asked myself.


(Erick's POV)

(A few minutes earlier)

"I'm late I'm late I'm late" I kept repeating to myself as I rushed to meet Katie at the entrance of the newly founded chez Platypus "sorry I'm late Katie!" I shouted as I arrived at the restaurant.

She gave me a glare "Erick! I'm on the phone, please wait a minute" I held up my hand and mouthed the word 'sorry' so the other person wouldn't hear.

"You have me on speaker don't you?" I heard Isabella's voice come over the speaker.

"Ya sorry my main speaker is broken so until I get it fixed I have to leave my phone on speaker." Katie said with a worried look on her face.

"That's fine, anyway I shouldn't keep you two; I'll talk to you later alright Katie?"

"If it's alright with you then sure" Katie looked worried for her friend, I wanted to say something to try to cheer her up but I had no idea what they were talking about so I decided to ask Katie later.

"Okay, bye"

I was about to ask what the conversation was about but Katie had one more thing to ask "Isabella You going to be Okay?"

"I'll live" I heard her say before the call ended.

Judging by the way Isabella sounded I assumed that there could only be one reason that she would call Katie, "what did Phineas do this time?"

She gave me a slight laugh, "I guess it really is that obvious isn't it" I gave her a nod as we stood in line to get in, "well long story short, Isabella found out that Phineas doesn't like her the way she likes him"

I stared at Katie in shock, "Isabella confessed to Phineas?"

Katie shook her head, "no she asked him if there was anyone special in his life and he said that he doesn't feel that way about anyone"

I looked away for a second to think then looked back, "you know that judging by Phineas's particular level of obliviousness and the fact that he doesn't have many close friends that are female, I would assume that it's very possible that Phineas does have feelings for Isabella, but is misunderstanding those feelings as friendship and not love"

Katie gave me a strange look, "when did you become such an expert?"

I looked to the doorman and gave him our names and he let us in, "well seeing as I'm the first one in our group of friends to actually … have a girlfriend, a lot of the guys ask me for advice on romance"

Katie gave me a flirtatious look, "so now I'm your girlfriend am I?" She asked.

I froze up and my voice got caught in my throat as I could only force out one sound, "um…"


(Baljeet's POV)

I was at the florists picking up a rose for Ginger, "I would like a red one if you have it please" I said. Without delay the florist gave me the rose and after paying for it I was off. "I so hope that Ginger likes this" I asked Erick on advice to get a girl to be my girlfriend without asking her to be my girlfriend. He quickly hit me over the head and told me that I would never get a girlfriend if I was to chicken to ask, but if I wanted to show my feelings then a flower would be the right way to go. I was envious to say the least, I had it somewhat planed out to, I was going to give Ginger the rose before the movie and if she reacted positively then I would ask her to be my girlfriend after when we were alone. I saw Ginger there with Milly so I took one last breath as I approached the theater. "Hi Ginger!" I shouted.

She looked at me and smiled "oh hi Baljeet" she said as I approached.

I handed her the rose "here I … I got you a … rose" I prepared myself for the worst but much to my surprise I got a positive reaction.

"Oh Baljeet It's beautiful!" she said pulling me into a hug. After the hug was over she kissed me on the cheek which sent me into a fantasy as she pulled me into the theater "common let's find ourselves some seats" I didn't even notice Milly staring at us as she pulled me into the theater. I can honestly say that I am so glad that I asked Erick for advice.


(Django's POV)

(An hour or so later)

So there she was sitting next to me at the chez Platypus restaurant. Both our mothers worked together so this wasn't rare but it was the first time that I sat next to Adyson. 'I can't just sit here and not say something to her' I thought as we handed our menus in and started to order our food. 'Well I can't just ask her out on a date with both our family's here, I mean what would my sister say?"

"Oh Django don't forget none of us will be home tomorrow so you'd better have something planed" my father said.

I face palmed, "Oh that's right I completely forgot" I was so concerned about Adyson that I completely forgot to make plans for tomorrow.

"Oh isn't that new amusement park opening up tomorrow? Adyson's been looking forward to it all week but she can't find anyone to go with, would you like to go Django?" Adyson's mom said.

Before I could say anything my mom decided to answer for me, "Oh that would be an excellent idea, Django loves amusement parks" our parent continued talking about how our day was going to go tomorrow while I looked at Adyson.

"Are you okay with going with me?" I asked her softly. She slowly nodded her head and gave me a weak smile that I returned. 'I can't believe that our parents are actually trying to set us up on a date' I thought to myself.


(Phineas's POV)

(Later that night)

I was in my room about to lie down for the night. It was yet another a great day but something that Isabella said was still bothering me, 'why am I not in love with any one yet?' I thought. I decided to ask Ferb some things about love, "hey Ferb? You've been in love before right?" he looked at me with a semi shocked expression then slowly nodded his head, "well … you see the thing I was wondering was … … … what's it like to be in love?"

Ferb was silent for a good few seconds before answering, "being in love is like … feeling like … it's kinda … I can't really explain, It's that feeling that you get when you're around that special someone that makes you want to be with them forever" he finished.

I tilted my head a little, "like that feeling you get with your family right?"

Ferb shook his head, "no not exactly it's … it's kinda like … when you're with that person everything just seems right and when you're not it's like … something is missing from yourself" I looked to the foot of my bed "do you feel that way about any one?" he asked.

I laid down on my side and covered myself with my blanket, "no, no I don't" lucky for me Ferb couldn't see me scratching my ear. 'Truthfully I don't know' I thought before going to sleep.


Wow that was exhausting. You know that I originally planned for this to be just Phineas and Isabella but looking back on what I just did … I'm thinking about expanding on it … and I feel like I can still type … I'm going to type the next chapter of my other story!
