Instead of watching football with the rest of my family I have decided to type another chapter. Ya I'm currently typing a chapter on Thanksgiving. To the reviews!

Skypan: Ya I kinda feel bad for what I've done to him but I take solace in the fact that what I will do to him is much worse than what he's faced so far. … how do you have school on a day that close to Thanksgiving?

14AmyChan: Actually (laughs) Erick is incapable of being full on anger (and he is quite upset about it) he can only be pissed off and annoyed but he can't feel full on anger (that part ant the end two chapters ago when he threw his phone against the wall was him honestly trying to find a way to not listen to Irving). As far as Erick knows Isabella got over Phineas and fell in love with Ferb after Phineas broke her heart so severally.

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

(Phineas's POV)

I had made it home from Erick's house and was currently getting ready for bed. I stopped as I was about to open the box that Erick returned to me 'how long am I supposed to keep using these?' I sighed and opened the box intending to only take a look at them. When I opened it I saw a note that Erick left for me. I picked up the note and read it,

Phineas

You can't rely on these forever. This process isn't natural so at some point your body will work up immunity to them. I recommend trying to find someone else to try to get over Isabella. I know that it won't be easy but after the suppressors stop working it will be more difficult so please don't stall. And don't worry about not being able to fall in love, the patches only inhibit the love you have for Isabella so you can still fall in love with other girls.

Your friend

Erick TribulationisFactorem

I looked at the letter with mixed feelings of fear, discomfort, and entertainment that Erick had actually used his full name, but my attention quickly turned to more important maters 'so my body will eventually work up an immunity to the patches … and I have to find myself a girlfriend … I think he left out the part where I have to walk on water' I shook my head and decided that I would wait until at least tomorrow to put on a patch so that I would have more time until my body worked up an immunity. I walked over to my bed and tucked myself in 'what kind of girl could possibly replace Isabella?'

(Gretchen's POV) (A.N. Please don't hate me)

I was about to head to sleep for the night ready for the week without any of the other fireside girls. I was still one year to young to go on the camping trip so I was forced to stay behind and hold down the fort. "Hi Teddy" yes I still sleep with a stuffed bear "I guess that it won't be so hard without all the other fireside girls, I mean I will still get to hang out with Phineas and …" I froze "Ferb" I whispered. Yes I have been in love with Ferb for a long time but I never had the nerve to tell him, and after I heard that he had no emotion for me I just … pretended that I had no emotion for him (not easy) I wish I had a device to suppress emotion or something, but alas, asking Phineas and Ferb to make something like that would surly reveal my emotion's for Ferb (or at least hint to them). And now he was dating my best friend, and I didn't even have any excuse to be mad at either of them, I never told Isabella about my feelings for Ferb and as for Ferb … well, we can't always get what we want now can we? But I digress; I must now go to sleep.

A little short I know but it is Thanksgiving so I am still supposed to be on vacation and taking it easy. Time to tell you "what's changed?": I bet some of you are wondering why it is that I decided to make Gretchen be in love with Ferb, well to be honest I thought that this story could use a little more pain and Gretchen was the perfect candidate. I apologize to anyone who thinks that I should stop with the pain because it will only get worse from here (or better, depending on your point of view). And now it's time for a new segment that I would like to call "Sneak Peak!": this a segment where I will give you a little sneak peak of a story that I have planed. Today's sneak peak is from the first chapter of 'The Light Within the Darkness" enjoy. (please remember that it is a sneak peak and that it will only be a part of a chapter)

As I walked over to the gate to see who it was I heard a voice come from the other side "Phineas …" it said weakly. Recognizing the voice, I ran the rest of the distance to the gate and threw it open. As I did, I looked down in horror as I saw the water sprite Isabell lying motionless on the ground "Phineas …" she said again.

I reached down and picked the tinny water sprite up "Isabell …" I said worried "what happened?"

She slowly opened her eyes and smiled "Phineas … I finally found you" I got more worried hearing the strength in her voice fade.

I started walking over to the tree cradling Isabell in my arms "Yes Isabell, you found me, now tell me what happened"

Her smile disappeared as she started to whimper "I …" she looked away from me "I … don't remember"

My eyes widened as I heard her speak "what do you mean?" I asked.

She brought her arms to her sides and started shivering "I … I can't remember anything"

I was shocked by what she just said, but at the same time confused "Isabell, if you can't remember anything then how-" I was interrupted by a dagger streaking right by my head and imbedding itself in the tree.

I slowly turned my head and saw a hooded figure standing on the fence "that was a warning shot" it said. It pulled out another dagger and pointed it at me "give me the water sprite or the next one won't be"

I looked at Isabell then back to the mysterious figure "what do you want with Isabell?" I demanded.

So how did you like it? There is a lot before and after it so don't think that that's all for the first chapter. … now the authors note is getting longer than the story, I will end it here.
