Hi so I need to get this story on a role before the ideas in my head become stale. As a result I might be updating this story more and updating my outer stories less, or I might not update at all because of me internet. Whatever the case here are the reviews.
14AmyChan: The effects take 20 minutes to kick in and an hour to wear off after he takes the patch off other than that it can last for a little more than a week, oh he will, and yes yes she did
Skypan: Like I said he will and technically Baljeet has three parings in the show (don't ask me how it is possible for a nerd to have more love interests than any other character (even Phineas and Ferb))
Disclaimer: I don't own anything or anyone except Erick and Connor.
(Phineas's POV)
As I woke up I felt the most intense sensation of sadness and loss that I have ever felt. I picked up the patch and pressed it on my left shoulder as per Erick's instructions. Lucky for me Ferb hadn't woken up yet so I was safe for the 20 minutes it would take for the patch to take effect. I decided to go downstairs and get some breakfast before Ferb woke up.
(Ferb's POV)
I awoke to the sound of birds chirping out my window. As I lay there I awaited my brother's usual idea for the day or his usual speech about how we can seize the day, but much to my surprise I heard nothing. I looked over to his bed and noticed that it was empty 'Phineas woke up without me?' I thought. As I looked in his closet my suspicions were confirmed, my brother had woken up and gotten ready for the day without me 'why? We always wake up together, why did he get ready without waking me up first?' another realization hit me 'he also went to sleep last night before he could tell me about his day, he always tells me about what he did even if I was with him the whole time' I started to get worried, 'what if Phineas no longer wanted to seize the day with me? What if he wanted to go it alone? How would I make the day fun without his boundless imagination?' I shook the thoughts from my head and figured that something like that would be to out of character for Phineas, or at least without taking some time to consider it. He was probably just upset because I started dating Isabella and wanted to get avoid me because he was jealous (Isabella would really be happy to hear that). I got dressed and made my way downstairs and saw Phineas eating breakfast.
"Hi Ferb" he said looking over to me with his usual giant smile.
I looked at him with a slightly sad face "you woke up without me today" I said with a sad tone.
His eyes shot open for a millisecond "oh I did? Sorry about that. I just figured that you would probably be spending the day with Isabella, so I didn't want to bore you with my idea for today"
I was hurt, shocked, and sad be the way my brother had said that. There was no trace of sarcasm, lying, anger, or anything to indicate that he wasn't being genuine about what he said. "Well Isabella and I could partake in today's idea" I said hoping that Phineas would say no indicating that he didn't want to see me and Isabella together.
"That would be great!" he said without even a hint of sarcasm (he might be oblivious to sarcasm but he still understand what it is and how to properly do it) "then we could all enjoy what I've made today"
'He's already made today's idea? What am I going to do now? It's like he's even more productive without me'
(Phineas's POV)
'Glad that I already made a few things a while back, I honestly couldn't think of a single idea for today' I thought as I watched the cheerful expression on my brothers face as I told him that it would be fine for him and his girlfriend to partake in today's idea (not like he has to ask but whatever). I directed him outside and showed him what I planned to use as today's idea. "I give you, the foot sliders" I announced as I showed him a bunch of shoes "using frictionless technology these things can slide for virtually forever"
"Where it not for wind resistance" Ferb said
I smiled "I accounted for wind resistance and most other factors that would cause someone to slow down"
He slipped a pair on and tried sliding "why don't these things move?"
"You have to start jogging then come to an abrupt stop for them to activate, I didn't want people to not be able to walk around normally" Ferb started running then came to a jump stop causing the shoes to activate causing him to start sliding at the same speed he was running.
"Is there a way to stop?" he asked trying not to run into anything.
"Just turn one of them completely sideways and both will slowdown" he turned one foot sideways and just like I said, it came to a stop. I smiled at the good job I did on the foot sliders and hoped that Ferb wouldn't realize that I had made them a month ago over the course of 4 days. It was a side project of mine that I wanted to use to surprise everyone so that we wouldn't have to spend half the day making whatever it is that we needed (I had made a lot of these over the 3 years we've been building stuff).
As Ferb stopped he looked at me with a confused look "you built this?" he asked.
"Yes"
"By yourself?"
"Yes"
"All in the time it took me to wake up"
"I had breakfast to" Ferb just looked sadder for some reason "what's wrong?" I asked
He shook his head "nothing just … hungry, I'm going to get some breakfast"
"Good idea I'll call everyone"
(Django's POV)
I was making my way to Phineas and Ferb's house while thinking about all the event's that transpired yesterday. 'Adyson is a thief? Or was a … I need more information' I pulled out my phone and sent a reply to the number that texted me the text about the hideout. "What did all that mean? Need more info" I waited patiently for the response which I received only a block away from Phineas and Ferb's house.
"If you want the whole story then meet me in the same place tonight at 7"
I was nervous to say the least. It would give Connor an opportune time to hurt me or something but I had to know the truth, and it wasn't going to come from Adyson.
(Baljeet's POV)
'What am I going to do? How do I explain to Mishti or Ginger that there is someone else?'I continued to think as I made my way to Phineas and Ferb's house 'I have gone out with Ginger twice now but I never actually made her my girlfriend and Mishti has been my friend for my whole life, who am I supposed to choose?' These thoughts continued to plague me until I ran into Buford of all people.
"Hey nerd, watch were you're going" he hissed at me.
"Sorry Buford just … a lot on my mind" I said looking down.
"Like what?" he asked now looking slightly concerned.
"You wouldn't understand"
"Try me"
I sighed "look you know how I have tried to date Ginger for the past few months right?" he nodded "well yesterday I learned that Mishti might be living in Danville … no she will be living in Danville from now on"
"Sounds like you got yourself caught in a love triangle" he said as I looked up "the only way out of it is for you to pick one of them and fast"
"But how do I pick one when I love both of them?"
"Let me put it this way Baljeet, if you don't pick one before its too late then you could wind up with neither"
"What do you mean by 'too late'?"
"If one of them finds out about the other before you make it clear which one you want, then that one would think that you're cheating on them, tell the other one, and then both will dump you"
"So I have to pick one and soon … could this be any harder?"
"One of them might not be in love with you, then if you were to choose her you would still wind up with neither"
"How do you know all this?"
"It's a bully thing"
(Phineas's POV)
I was just making the last call as Isabella made her way into the back yard "hi Phineas, what'cha'doin?" she asked in her usual form.
"Calling people to invite over to try out the newest craze to sweep the nation"
She tilted her head as her smile disappeared "I didn't get a call"
I looked at her surprised "well I assumed that Ferb had already called you seeing as you two are … you know, Oh congrats again by the way, I know that you've probably been trying to get Ferb's attention for years" I gave her a smile and she smiled back.
(Isabella's POV)
I had to hold back the tears, I had to hold back the sadness, I had to hold back every negative emotion that was currently rushing threw my body "Thanks Phineas, I'm really happy to finally have the man of my dreams" 'I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT PHINEAS FEELS NOTHING FOR ME! After all we've been through he feels nothing?' "So where is Ferb?"
"Inside" I ran inside with a big fake smile and finally let it all out when I reached the kitchen.
"Oh Ferb he still feels nothing for me"
Ferb gave me a reassuring look "Phineas has feelings for you, you just have to give it some time"
"Well I'm sick of waiting; we need to kick it up a notch"
Ferb's eyes grew wide "we do?" he asked.
(Erick's POV)
I was at Phineas's house along with Buford, Baljeet, and Django. We were currently putting on Phineas's newest invention 'the foot sliders' while simultaneously waiting for Ferb and Isabella to come out of the house. "What's taking them?" Buford asked.
Phineas just laughed "let them have their quality time Buford, god knows how long Isabella's been craving it" he and everyone else continued putting on their 'foot sliders' and before anyone knew it more people walked in the gate, and be that I mean all of the fireside girls along with everyone from the foreign exchange student program.
"What's going on?" I asked. It was at that point that Ferb and Isabella walked out of the house, Ferb with … lipstick marks all over his face.
"Oh that's right" Isabella said turning to Phineas "the fireside girls are supposed to show the foreign exchange students how fun Danville is and I suggested that we show them Phineas and Ferb's invention ideas"
"That's fine Isabella we have plenty of equipment, we will just need a bigger place to show everyone" Phineas said with an enormous smile on his face. I started to get worried, just a few days ago Phineas was crying over Ferb and Isabella getting together and now he's extremely happy about it. I could only imagine how much is being surprised and how badly this is going too affect him later when he takes the patch off.
As we made our way to the Danville roller rink I decided to ask him some questions "hey Phineas how are those patches working" I asked discreetly as I walked next to him.
Phineas smiled and looked toward me "Oh there working wonders, I must say that I would probably still be in bed crying about Isabella if it were not for them"
I grasped my forehead "please tell me that's a massive exaggeration"
He looked at me confused "not massive but yes, why?"
I sighed "the more you suppress the more you feel when you take the patch off"
He looked behind us to make sure that no one was listing in on our conversation "what do you suggest I do then? If I don't use the patches then I will start to feel jealous of Ferb, and I can't do that to him he's my brother and him being with Isabella makes both of them happy and I 'want to' want to see them happy, some moment of excruciating pain is a small price to pay"
"If you say so" I said as I rolled my eyes "oh which reminds me what did you end up doing with that flower that you were going to give to Isabella?" Phineas froze.
(Phineas's POV)
Flashback
I was on my bed still crying a little about Ferb and Isabella. I had just set up an appointment with Erick and Buford about making sure that I would not let on that I was upset about my brother and best friend getting together. I rolled over on my back and let the flower I got for her lay on me stomach. "So what do I do with you?" I said looking at the flower. I got up and walked over to my closet and pulled out a scrap book on all of our adventures. I looked through the book and found the section that I put my favorite memories in, like the trip around the world, when we herded the stamped of cow's, the haunted house, I froze for a second then continued picking out my favorite memories, I quickly realized that they all had one thing in common, "Isabella has been with us in all of these" I looked back to all the other memories and found that ether Isabella was barely in the memory or not at all, "have I … been in love with her … this whole time?" now I couldn't just throw the rose away, it was by far the most important memory I had of Isabella yet, 'the day I lost my chance with her' I took the rose and the scrap book and locked them in my special chamber where I keep all of my special surprise inventions. After I locked it away I walked back to my bed and slowly closed my eyes "why Isabella? Why did you choose my brother instead of me?" I slowly slipped into a deep sleep.
End flashback
"Hey Phineas?" I snapped my eyes to attention.
"What?" I asked.
"I asked you what you did with that flower." I turned to look at Erick then shook my head.
"I got rid of it"
(Django's POV)
We made it to the roller rink with absolutely no trouble (not that I expected any). I was happily sliding along on Phineas and Ferb's newest invention but the thought of the place and that tape kept coming into my mind. 'What is that all about? Why did Adyson steel from stores? What does Connor have to do with all of this? And what am I going to do when I find out the truth?' These thoughts were quickly taking over my mind, so much so that I didn't realize who I was about to run into.
"DJANGO!" I heard someone scream as I ran into them.
"Sorry sorry I didn't mean to-" I was caught by surprise by the person I ran into "Adyson?"
"You really need to pay attention more Django" she said making her way to her feet.
"I'm sorry Addy I was just … thinking"
She looked down as a sad look crept its way across her face "Please don't call me Addy" she said softly "so what were you thinking about?"
I froze for a second 'should I tell her what Connor has told me so far? Or will that only get her in trouble?' "What exactly happened between you and Connor?"
She continued to look sad "you shouldn't get involved, just … stay away" she made her way over to who knows where as I continued to think.
'What really happened between those two?'
(Baljeet's POV)
I was sliding along as my anxiety slowly got the better of me 'Ginger and Mishti are here, what if they see me with the other one or something worse happens'
I continued sliding until half of my worst fear came true "Baljeet there you are I've been looking all over for you" Ginger said as she came up to me.
"Oh hi Ginger" I said with a whole lot of nervousness.
She laughed and grabbed my arm "I've really missed you"
"I've really missed you too"
She laughed again and smiled at me "hey Baljeet there's … something I … wanted to talk to you about" I gave her a confused look as her smile slowly faded "I … I know about you and your friend Mishti"
I could swear that every bit of heat vanished from my body "what are you talking about?" I asked her.
"I saw her kiss you and I know that the two of you are friends so …" she didn't finish. She just kissed my cheek and rushed off.
I was frozen for a few seconds as I felt a pair of eyes staring at me, I turned around slowly to see that it was Mishti who was staring at me from a good 15 feet away with the most shocked look on her face, or should I say that that's what I saw before she continued moving like she didn't see a thing "how can this day get any worse?" as if to answer my question Buford came and gave me a strong shove.
(Buford's POV)
I laughed as I watched Baljeet go flying across the rink, into a skate rake, causing a whole bunch of skates to fall on him, and if that weren't enough, about ten servings of cookie's fell on top of him attracting every kid in the building to run over and jump on the pile 'I really wouldn't want to be him right now' I thought to myself. As I turned around I realized that I would probably rather be him than me at this moment.
"Buford!" Brigitte said in her accent that I could just get lost in for hours, she was with her fellow fireside girls at this moment (being the French ones and Isabella) but I really didn't notice any of them "how could you bee so mean to that boy!"
"I uhhhhh"
"You are such a brute, bully, monger, and on top of all that a horrible person" now I was certain that I would rather be Baljeet right now, I felt a sharp stinging sensation in my chest as it was quickly joined be a sharp stinging sensation on my face. "American boys are such a waste of time" she said trailing off.
"Tell me about it" I heard Isabella say right behind her.
'Boy Phineas won't be happy to hear that' I thought.
(Erick's POV)
I was sliding along with my girlfriend – sorry friend talking about when we should have our next date "So how about a movie?" I asked her.
"What movie?
"Hmm … your choice"
"Friday sound good?"
"Got nothing planed so sounds great" I grabbed her hand and continued sliding until we were greeted by Phineas.
"Hi Erick, Katie, on your second date I see"
Katie giggled and shook her head "no, this doesn't count as a date, it's only a get-together"
"Whatever" Phineas turned 180 degrees and started sliding away when Katie called out to him.
"Phineas?" she said causing Phineas to turn around "what do you plan to do about the whole … Isabella thing. Phineas looked to me with slightly nervous look.
"Ya I told her Phineas, but don't worry she is extremely trustworthy" I reassured him.
He nodded his head and looked back to Katie "Well the thing is … I don't plan to do anything at the moment"
"What?" Katie and I said in unison.
Phineas pulled up his right sleeve and pointed to the patch on his shoulder "well as long as I have this I shouldn't have a problem with my emotions now should I?"
I grasped my forehead "Phineas that's only a temporary solution, and on top of that I'm thinking that you might need to vent out the surprised emotions more often than expected"
"Why?"
"Because your emotions are stronger than I originally anticipated so they might build up faster"
Phineas playfully rolled his eyes "what's the worst that could happen?"
I turned my head to the side "I don't know" I whispered.
"Don't worry, if anything seems out of the ordinary than I will take off the patch and go directly to you" I was not reassured but I knew that I couldn't do much to persuade him "good then you two enjoy your date planning" He turned around and slid away.
(Phineas's POV)
As I slid away from the happy couple my phone rang indicating a text, I slowed down and pulled it out to look at who texted and saw that it was Buford "Hey Phineas I overheard Isabella talking about how she doesn't like American boy's that much" I shook my head and sent a reply.
"So?" I knew Buford understood what it meant and I didn't bother to look at his reply text.
(Ferb's POV)
I watched as Phineas was talking to Erick and Katie about something and showed them his shoulder 'what are they talking about?' I wondered. I shook the thought from my head and told myself that I would talk to him about it later tonight.
(Django's POV)
(6:45)
I was on my way to the secret hideout thing that I found earlier with one thing on my mind 'I need to get to the bottom of this' It took me around ten minutes but surly enough I made it safe and sound. I checked to make sure that no one was looking and I opened the door and entered. As I walked in the lights turned on and I saw a familiar face.
"Hello Django" Connor said sitting at the desk.
"I need the whole story about what happened between the two of you and I need the truth"
He looked at me with a slightly confused look "you mean you don't care about the fact that she was a thief?"
"As long as the 'was' part of that sentience is true then no I can't say I do" he laughed.
"Well I can't say that I cared at the time either, so let's just get right to the chase. As you know Adyson was a thief and a good one at that."
"So what does that have to do with her now? Did she have a reason or did she just do it for fun?"
He looked at the wall "For the money most likely … she never told me"
"You knew?" I asked in shock.
"Ya, at first I didn't think much of it but as the time grew on I asked her to stop because … it just didn't sit right with me anymore"
"Why didn't you care at first?"
He smiled at me "let's be honest, I am not one who cares about the rules that much now am I?"
"No, no you aren't"
"Then let's continue, yes it started to get me concerned because I wanted her to not spend her life in jail, so I asked her to stop"
There was a long pause before my curiosity got the better of me "and?"
He smiled at me "and she yelled in my face" I was shocked "she said that she will do what she wants and it doesn't matter what I think" I shook my head in disbelief "yes yes she did. One day I got so concerned that I threatened to call the police on her if she didn't stop"
"And let me guess, she broke up with you and said that if you tried she would just tell them that it was just you trying to get revenge"
"You really are a smart one Django"
"Do you know if she steels anymore?"
He shrugged "who's to say, maybe, maybe not" I started walking out of the hideout "where are you going?" he asked.
I stopped for a second and turned back to face him "to do what's right" I finished walking out of the hideout.
(Ferb's POV)
It was now bed time and my brother and I were in bed getting ready to fall asleep when I noticed my brother reaching for his left shoulder "what's wrong with your shoulder?" I asked him
He looked at me surprised "Ah … nothing" he scratched his ear signifying that he was lying
"Really?" I said squinting my eyes "Then how come you were showing it to Erick and Katie earlier?" now I got him, he couldn't hide it anymore.
He looked left to right frantically and started scratching his ear "it just itches a lot and I wanted to know Erick's professional opinion"
I glared at him "Phineas I can tell when you're lying remember? So why don't you tell me the truth?" he was clearly shocked by my action but he sighed and slowly started to speak.
"Well the thing is … I've been thinking about getting a tattoo" I was shocked, a tattoo? That was it? I gave him a 'go on' look "I was thinking about getting the phrase 'Carpe Diem' tattooed on my left shoulder and I wanted Erick's and Katie's opinion on it … long story short they said it wasn't a good idea" well I knew that Phineas wasn't lying about this … can't say that it made me feel better though.
"Think it over, I would suggest waiting a few years seeing as you're still too young for a tattoo"
"Why does every one say that? I'm going into junior high, how am I too young?"
I shook my head "look Phineas just get some sleep and well talk about this in the morning after you give me your idea"
He shook his head "sorry Ferb I already have my idea for tomorrow"
I started to get sad "well then be sure to wake me up before you get started and I will help, okay?"
He tilted his head in confusion "don't you have a date with Isabella in the morning or something? I distinctly remember overhearing something about the two of you going out Wednesday morning or something" He was right Isabella wanted me to go with her in the morning to try and make Phineas upset about her not being there.
"Oh that's right, thank you for reminding me"
"You know Ferb" Phineas started while looking at the covers in front of him "you should really pay more attention to Isabella, I mean she has been waiting for you for a long time and now that you two are finally together it almost seems like the two of you are hardly together at all"
Now that is something that would get to Phineas in the wrong way, I didn't want to get him mad at my just jealous "let's get some sleep we can argue about this in the morning" 'I hope'
(Phineas's POV)
'I can't believe that worked. I completely fooled my brother into thinking that I want a tattoo (now that I think about it, it might be a good idea at a later date but not right now). However I can't take off the patch now Ferb would definitely see it and think something's up. What's the worst that could happen, I mean how bad could it really get if I leave it on for one night' I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
The next day proceeded like any other (or at least any other that would happen nowadays), I woke up before Ferb, Ferb left on his date, people came over to enjoy one of my ideas that I prepared in advance, I would listen to Baljeet talk about how he couldn't contact either of the girls he was cheating on – I mean in love with, the project mysteriously disappeared, Ferb came home sucking face with Isabella (quite disturbing actually), and Ferb and I would go to sleep. The following day was more or less the same except Ferb had to go out with dad for this antique thing so he wouldn't be back till Saturday so he left early, then there was the fact that Isabella wasn't there either, that was disappointing a little, but other than that the day preceded like a normal day, that is until night.
"Phineas" I heard a voice call. I looked around and saw nothing so I closed my eyes again "Phineas" I got up and started looking for the source of the voice but couldn't find it "Phineas"
"Just show yourself already" I said to the air. As I saw something step out of the shadows I immediately regretted calling out to the voice. I immediately took several steps back and pressed myself against the wall "wha-what are you doing here?" As I looked at the figure I realized that it could only be one person, "Isabella?"
"Oh Phineas, I came here to tell you that I love you" she took a few steps closer and it pressed her hands against me, but as her hands touched my body they just passed through me.
"You're … you're not real" I said in an almost panicked tone.
"Of course I'm real Phineas" she closed her eyes and slowly brought her face to mine.
"You're not real" I said to myself, she didn't stop, she just grew closer and closer "You're not real" I said again. Her lips pressed against mine (or would have if she was really there), she slowly motioned as if trying to make out with me "you're not real" it seemed like the only thing me saying that accomplished was making noise, which was something that I didn't want to do at this hour. It was at that moment that I realized something, I haven't taken my patch off in days this was probably a result of that, I ripped off the patch and surly but slowly the hallucination disappeared "I need to talk to Erick" I said. Before I could get back in bed however I was filled with emotions of pure pain and misery, Voices appeared in my head and continuously said the same thing over and over again 'she will never love you, you aren't worthy of her' I shivered as I tried to make my way into my bed (and failed). I took the patch, tore it in two and applied half of it to my shoulder as the voices slowly came to a stop, "I really need to talk to Erick" I said before slowly trying to get to sleep.
And that's all she wrote … and that is also the longest I've ever written for fan fiction. But anyway I don't have a "what's changed?" portion so … I guess that's it.
