Chapter 4! … Ya not that exciting is it? Would you believe that I am typing this while waiting for my power to come back from Sandy? I bet someone who read that just now didn't understand what I was talking about. I am so glad that I charged my laptop before Sandy. But I digress, this is going to be posted as the first thing I can do when I get my power back.

(Phineas's POV)

I was lying on my bed in the fetal position holding the pink rose tight to my chest. 'Why? Why must I realize that I'm in love with her after she starts dating someone else? … maybe it's because she is dating someone else' I rolled to my other side 'I bet this would be slightly less painful if that someone she fell in love with wasn't my brother, … I can't tell her now, I don't want to make things complicated, … that means I can't tell Ferb either… I need to make sure that Erick and the others don't tell ' I quickly pulled out my cell phone and dialed Erick.

(Erick's POV)

I was sitting at the food court with Baljeet and Buford about to take my leave when my phone rang. I looked at it and read that it was Phineas that was calling. "Looks like we'll see how Phineas did" I said before picking up my phone and putting it on speaker. "Hello? Phineas? You're on speaker"

"Ya hey guys … I need to talk to you about something" he said.

"Okay, but first tell us how it went with your girlfriend" Buford said.

There was a slight ominous pause before Phineas responded "I saw her kissing Ferb" all of us were speechless leaving another good long pause before Phineas spoke "look guy's I … I need you to not tell anyone this but … when I saw her kissing him I … I felt a painful sting in my chest and … I think that I'm in love with Isabella … no … I know I'm in love with Isabella"

Buford and I were speechless but apparently Baljeet wasn't "WHAT?!" he said.

"He said that he's in love with Isabella nerd" Buford said.

I ignored Buford and decided to ask Phineas some more about this "Phineas … you said … that you saw Ferb kissing Isabella … you found out that you were in love with her when you saw this … and you don't want us to tell anyone … is that right?

There was a short pause "ya that's about it" he said.

"Why?" I asked.

"yesterday Isabella said that she was in love with someone and now I know that the person she was talking about was Ferb and not me so … I'm … I don't want to make things complicated for them so please keep this between us?" we were all shocked by what Phineas said and how he pleaded but all of us gave him our word that we would not tell anyone about what he saw or what he felt. "Thanks guys, this means a lot to me" he hung up.

There was a long pause before Baljeet finally broke it "why … did Isabella kiss Ferb if she was in love with Phineas?"

"I'm not getting involved in this" Buford said before getting up and walking away.

I shook my head "Baljeet look … Phineas said to not tell anyone that A. he told us he was in love with Isabella B. he saw Ferb and Isabella kiss and C. that he was about to tell Isabella his feelings for her before he saw her with his brother. So based on that, until someone else comes and tells us that Ferb and Isabella are dating we have to act like we don't know, alright?"

"Alright … but why would Isabella just go and date Ferb when everyone except Phineas knows that she is in love with Phineas?"

I sighed "maybe she just got tired of waiting and decided to move on." I shook my head "anyway it's not our problem so we should just leave it alone" I got up and started walking away.

(Ferb's POV)

I can't believe I just agreed to fake date Isabella to make Phineas jealous. Was I just hit with a 'do something stupid ray' or something? *sigh* I guess I'll talk with Isabella about it tomorrow or something but now I just … Isabella said that Phineas was watching but I didn't see him there when I turned around so I will 'for now' not tell him about the plan that I for some reason agreed to, and I will not mention that me and Isabella are 'dating' because she said that it will make more of an impact on him if he hears it from someone other than me or Isabella … this feels so stupid why am I going through with this?

(Perry's POV)

I was on my way back from another mission. Dr. Doofenshmirtz had invented a 'do something stupid-inator' and was intent to hot the whole town with it so that they would all do stupid things and it would be easy for him to take over. Luckily I managed to foil his plans and the inator only fired off once toward the mall. I feel sorry for the poor soul it hit because it would make them do stupid things until tomorrow night.

(Django's POV)

Adyson and I were having the time of our lives at the amusement park. We went on almost every ride when it started to get dark. "So Django we have only one ride left and not much time left to go on it so … I mean do you want to go on it?" the ride in question was the tunnel of love. It was the last ride that we haven't gone on and to be honest … there was no way that I was going to miss out on going on a romantic ride with the girl of my dreams.

"Ya, I mean don't we want to say that we went on every ride at the park?" I asked. She gave me a weak smile and together we made our way toward the tunnel. The line wasn't long so we managed to make it to the front within five minutes. During that wait my mind was racing with thoughts 'I should tell her how I feel on this ride, or kiss her. No what if she doesn't return my feelings then I will be left heartbroken. But if you do nothing ever then you will be left heartbroken anyway.' As my mind continued running through dos and don'ts we made it to the front of the line and boarded the small boat made for one-and-a-half people. We were snug to say the least. As the ride began we saw all sorts of romantic stuff like hearts, cupid, and other couples kissing. I so just wanted to pull Adyson into a kiss as well but the logical side of my mind was still in control, however all of that was about to change toward the end of the ride.

"Django …" Adyson started "I wanted to say that … I'm sorry about earlier"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

She looked down at our feet "well the thing is … I'm sorry about what Connor did to you"

I tilted my head in confusion "Addy that's not your fault. I came here of my own freewill so what happened to me would be more my fault than yours."

She turned her head to look at me "Django … Connor is … my ex-boyfriend"

I was shocked but I was still confused "what does that have to do with him forcing me into the dunking booth?"

She looked away "he is very angry that I dumped him so ever since he's been trying to get back at me by …" the ride came to a stop as she tried to finish her sentence. She closed her eyes tight as she tried to get out the next few words "Django I … I …I …"

"What's wrong Addy?" I asked.

She let out a tear and slowly turned her head toward me. As she looked at me I could see the sadness in her eyes "I love you Django … and Connor won't stop picking on you until you hate me"

"What?" my eyes went wide in shock but Adyson wasn't finished.

"After I dumped him he got angry and said that he would make sure that he would make sure that anyone I fell in love with would never feel the same about me, and if he couldn't 'convince' them then he would …" her next words were caught in her sobs so I couldn't understand them.

"Addy I don't care what Connor does I will never-" she ran away before I could finish. I chased after her but before I could catch up to her I was blindsided again by Connor.

"Ready for your beating dweeb?" he 'asked.' I gulped as I awaited the upcoming torture.

(Buford's POV)

I was walking through the mall with only one thing on my mind 'I don't want to be part of this, I don't need to be part of this' the thought was all I was focusing on. I didn't want to get involved in all the drama that was going on with the others. I didn't want to get involved in so much dating stuff in my last summer before Junior High, all I wanted was to enjoy it, maybe get involved in everyone's problems during school. But unfortunately fate was cruel. Not one moment later as if by some punishment for not wanting to be involved in the story, my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and it read 'Phineas' "just great" I said to myself before picking up the phone. "What do you want Dinner-bell?"

He responded slowly "hey Buford, I need a huge favor"

"What is it?"

"I need you to teach me to lie" I was shocked. Me, Buford Van-Storm was shocked "hey Buford you still there?"

I took a minute to come to my senses "Wa-? Oh ya, Phineas, why do you want to learn to lie?"

"I don't want you to teach me to lie per-say but help me get better at it"

I shook my head "I asked why Phineas"

"I have a 'tell' apparently and I don't want Ferb or Isabella to know that I'm hurt by them dating, I want them to be happy and not worry about me so … what do you say? Will you teach me?"

I was shocked that the great Phineas Flynn was coming to me for help, I was shocked that I was being dragged into all this, I was shocked that Phineas returned Isabella's feeling's, I was shocked that Isabella had started dating Ferb, but what shocked me most of all was what I said next "sure Phineas, I'll help" I agreed to jump head long into all of this "but if you want to hide your feelings then I recommend some practice or something cause people can read that to, especially Ferb"

"I already have that covered, thanks, and thank you for agreeing to help me, it really means a lot"

"Don't worry, by the time I'm done with you, not even Ferb will be able to tell when you're lying" I heard him laugh then we both said goodbye and I hung up "looks like I got my work cut out for me" I said to myself as I continued walking out of the mall.

(Erick's POV)

I was long since out of the mall and I was now on my way home. When I got home I was supposed to call my girlfriend – I'm sorry 'friend' Katie and talk about we should have our second date. As I was dreaming about how much I wanted to just call her right now my phone rang. Thinking it was Katie I rushed to pick it up without looking at the caller ID "hello?" I said a little too happily.

"Erick? You okay" I heard Phineas's voice over the phone and looked to see it was his name on the caller ID.

"Oh … hi Phineas just thought you were … someone else" I said a little too disappointed "so based on what you described to me earlier I will assume that you need help with something so let's get right to the chase, what is it?"

"I need the data you collected for the removal of emotion"

To say I was surprised would be lying, I figured that he would ask for something when he called and I figured it might be extreme but I had some bad news for Phineas "Phineas after all the tests, data samples, observations, and prototyping I could only come up with something that will suppress an emotion, I don't have anything that will remove it all together"

"Can it be reused?"

"In theory it can be reused indefinitely, but … it's not that healthy for extended use, not yet anyway and to top it off I discontinued the research on it a long time ago, so I won't be able to create something safe over night."

"Is the data on of our computers?"

"Ya"

"Good then I will try to modify it, and then I will send it back to you for a final analysis"

"Then I will have to work overnight to make it work"

"I promise you I will make it up to you"

I laughed "don't sweat it Phineas. Just be sure that you're okay with this"

"Alright, thanks"

I hung up the phone and sighed "this is going to be a long night"

(Django's POV)

I was limping home from the amusement park. Connor really didn't want me to love Adyson, he so much as said that he would never stop until I walked up to Adyson and gave her a list of reasons why I don't like her and never will. I sighed 'how will I stop Connor and his flunkies? I will never give in to his demands, I will never stop loving Adyson, and I most certainly will never break her heart. But that still leaves the question of what should I do?' My thought process was interrupted when I found myself face to face with the big man himself.

"Sorry we got off on the wrong foot, I'm sure that there is a reasonable way I could convince you to dump that looser you're about to start dating, and come to your senses before it's too late."

I was shocked by the … politeness coming out of this freaks mouth "what do you mean before it's too late?" I asked him.

He let out a small laugh and smiled "I know that you think that I'm trying to get back at Adyson for dumping me, and I am, but truth be told, I'm trying to save you from making a massive mistake" I gave him a confused look and he sighed "look kid at first I thought that you were just some random kid that fell in love with Adyson, But I can tell that you are more than that, you have spirit, spirit that Adyson will crush if you date her. Now I know what you're thinking 'he's trying to trick me' but I can tell you that Adyson is a real … can I say the B word in a T rated fan-fic?"

"I get the idea of what you're saying" I told him.

"Good then here's your warning, don't date her, my physical actions would be therapy compared to what I would tell you about her, so I will leave it up to you for now. And don't make me beat it through your head" he walked away leaving me there frozen, thinking about what he just said 'could anything he said be true?' I thought.

(Phineas's POV)

As I finished up the work on emotional suppression and sent it to Erick, I looked at the time. "Only eight

… Ferb isn't back yet and I don't want to talk to him yet" I looked down at my bed "I want to get up earlier than Ferb so I can get to work on practicing my lying with Buford so I should probably get to sleep now" I made my way over to the shower but before I could get in the bathroom I was stopped by my sister.

"Hey Phineas how was your day?" she asked me.

Before I answered I was sure to make my way into the bathroom so she couldn't see my 'tell' "Oh it was great, Ferb and I had a lot of fun" even I could tell how off-key my voice was and how easily it was for Candace to tell that I was lying.

"Phineas tell me the truth what happened?" She said her voice sounding more demanding.

I decided that I would have to tell her the truth seeing as I don't know how to lie yet, but I would have to be careful about what I tell her "look Candice, I saw Ferb kissing Isabella and I don't think that I was supposed to see that so if it's okay with you could you not bring this up with anyone?"

I waited a few minutes for her to respond "okay Phineas, if you say so" I was surprised that she was letting it go so easily but I was not one to look a gift hours in the mouth. I got my shower underway, and got to bed before anyone could question me further.

(Erick's POV)

I got home relatively quick but before I could call Katie I got the e-mail from Phineas about the designs he needed me to work on. As I was about half way through perfecting the designs my phone rang, it was Katie. Slowly I picked up the phone and answered "hello?"

"You were supposed to call me" she said calmly but obviously upset.

"I know and I'm sorry It's just … *sigh* I have to work on something for Phineas and he needs it done before tomorrow"

"What is it?"

I looked around to make sure that no one was listening on my end "can you keep a secret?" I asked her.

"You know that I am very trustworthy so why do you even ask?" she seemed to get more upset by my question

"Because it's something that you can't tell anyone, Isabella, your parents, any of the fireside girls, no one"

"It can't be that bad can it?"

"It's not life threatening but" I paused "long story short, Phineas … found out that he was in love with Isabella after he saw her kiss Ferb, and as far as he knows, which is as far as I know as well, Ferb and Isabella don't know that he saw them, so now he asked me to create something to suppress his newly found emotions for Isabella so they don't complicate things with him, Ferb, and Isabella"

There was a long silence before I heard her respond "you could have told me earlier"

"I'm sorry I … didn't want to get you involved in this"

"If you were involved then I was going to get involved in it eventually, or did you think that I wouldn't be in that position anymore" I could tell that she was very angry and if I didn't think of something soon I would be in big trouble.

"I hoped that this matter would be settled before it got out of hand"

I could tell that she rolled her eyes even though we were talking over the phone "whatever, just … you have to make this up to me big time, got it?"

"Defiantly" she gave me a small giggle before we said goodnight and ended the call. I was glad to have dodged that bullet but I could tell that there were many many more coming, and not all of them were at me.

Okay … so maybe these chapters are too long … no I don't think so. But in any case it's time for every ones favorite segment "what's changed?": originally this story was going to be the finally of the story line that I've been (or their lack of) working on. But do to an extreme amount of modifications to the original story idea this story was lost in transition and replaced with another that won't be reveled at this time. The Idea of this story has still good so I decided to write it anyway … so there.
