Smell that? That's the smell of a story that's approaching it's climax. That's right this awesome story is almost done and I personally cant wait to see everyone face … okay I think I've been through the face thing before, but who cares. Please note that just because I say the story is almost over doesn't mean that this is the last chapter. And now for the reviews.

Skypan: there is going to be a much bigger misunderstanding somewhere in this chapter, you get a cookie if you can find it. Please tell me that you're joking about that last part.

DizzyPirate: Well like I said the last chapter was supposed to go along with the one before it but I ran into a time issue.

PianoMan5: Thank you.

FanFicCriTicTheThird: I have lived in this room for five years and I have NEVER cleaned it until my dad just told me.

14AmyChan: He will need something more than luck. He would need a deus ex machina, too bad I'm not in a giving mode.

DT: Do I really have that many spelling errors? I will have to fix that.

(Ferb's POV)

I was siting at the breakfast table with Phineas preparing for the most important day of the summer; the day when I would finally get together with Gretchen. Albeit I felt sad for Isabella that Phineas didn't feel the same about her as she does for him but there isn't much I can do about that without breaking my moral code … again. I was half done with cereal when I looked up at Phineas and started thinking, 'I have to somehow make this up to Isabella. She's going to be so broken because I was wrong about Phineas wanting to be with her' I took a scope of what was left of my cereal, 'should I tell Phineas that Isabella is in love with him? I know I promised Isabella that I wouldn't but … no, Isabella know's Phineas's tell. She'll be able to tell when he's lying and she'll get upset if I ask Phineas to fake it' I took another scoop of cereal and contemplated the depths of my failure, 'should I really be doing this? If I made Isabella feel so bad then do I deserve to be happy?' I sighed and finished my cereal 'I cant just go up to Gretchen and tell her that I love her but we cant be together because I want to punish myself, I will just have to think up a way to make this up to Isabella' I stood up and placed my bowl in the sink.

"So Ferb, ready to get this day started?" my brother asked.

I sighed, "I guess so. I just don't feel that optimistic after failing while helping Isabella"

Phineas smiled, "I'm sure that she'll get over him eventually"

I shook my head "she will never fully get over him after being in love with him for so long" I paused and closed my eyes, "because I told her to not give up"

Phineas frowned, "well one should never give up on something that they feel is right. I'm sure that eventually this idiot will come around and Isabella will be with the boy of her dreams"

I looked at Phineas without moving my head, "how can you be so sure?"

Phineas smiled gently, "because she's Isabella, I bet half the guy's in school are going gaga over her"

I let out a small laugh; it is true that most of the guys in school had a crush on Isabella but all of them knew that she had eyes only for Phineas … maybe after all this I can help her get someone else. "So how do you plan to cheer up Isabella?"

"I'm going to take her to that park with all of our ride like inventions. How do you plan to tell Gretchen you love her?"

"Take her to the park, confess, make out with her hopefully, take her to the movies, take her to dinner, and finally kissing her on her front porch"

Phineas looked up at me, "kinda simple and cliché, don't you think?"

"I'm not as imaginative as you are"

(Phineas's POV)

I finished Breakfast and was on my way out the door. I was afraid that I might lead on that I was in love with her but I was feeling pretty confident in the emotional suppressor that Erick had designed (I was even more confident because I helped with the design). I double checked to make sure that the patch was on then I proceeded to Isabella's house. When I got there I took a deep breath and nocked on the door.

As the door opened I was greeted by Mrs. García-Shapiro, "oh hello Phineas, here to see Isabella I imagine?"

I nodded, "yes Mrs. García-Shapiro"

"Well ..." she looked a little downcast, "Isa's not in the best of moods right now, and she want's to be left alone"

"Well that's actually why I'm here, I was planing to take her to the amusement park to cheer her up"

"Oh you taking her to the new one that just opened?"

I shook my head, "no I plan to take her to the older one in the center of town. Well it's not actually that old seeing as it opened only at the start of the year"

Mrs. García-Shapiro smiled, "it's okay with me just ask Isa"

"Thank you" I said as I walked in the house, "I'm guessing she's in her room?" she nodded and I rushed down the hall.

As I got closer I heard a voice come from the other side of the door. After a moment I decided (against my better judgment) to listen in on what it was saying, "I cant believe he doesn't feel the same way"

'must be Isabella talking about that boy'

"It wasn't only that Ferb promised but that I really thought that after all the time we spent together he would at least feel something towards me but … he doesn't" it was at that point that I heard her cry. I took a deep breath then waited a few moment before knocking on the door. "Go away mom, I don't want to talk about it"

I playfully rolled my eyes, "It's not your mom Isabella"

There was some silence before I heard anything, "Phineas?"

"May I come in?"

A moment later Isabella opened the door. As I looked at her I saw her eyes were bloodshot from her crying and her hair was in a mess, "what brings you here?" she asked.

I sighed then looked her in the eye "Ferb told me all about the boy that you were trying to make jealous"

I almost could have sworn I saw a worried look on her face but ignored it seeing as she couldn't possibly be worried right now, "everything?" she asked slowly.

"Everything but his name" Isabella … sighed I guess then invited me into her room.

"Do you think what I did makes me a bad person?"

I scratched my chin (or there lack of), "we all do stuff that we're not proud of at some point in our life"

She smiled then looked down, "do you want to know his name?"

I lifted Isabella's chin and smiled, "that's for later, right now I'm going to try to cheer you up by taking you to the PF amusement park"

Isabella looked confused, "but wont your girlfriend get jealous if you spend time with me?"

I face palmed, "for the hundredth time, I'M NOT DATING GRETCHEN!" Isabella stared wide eyed for a moment then laughed, "what's so funny?"

"Your reaction" she said after she finally caught her breath.

I shook my head playfully, "besides, Ferb is on his way to ask her out right now"

"Ferb? Really?" Isabella asked.

I nodded, "ya" I took her hand, "now let's get a move on, we have a park to get to" as I garbed her hand I felt a brief jolt of warmth and joy shoot up my arm and one thing suddenly became apparent, my body was starting to work up an immunity to the emotional suppressant.

(Ferb's POV)

I was at the park waiting for Gretchen to arrive; I had called her on my way over and she said that she would happy to spend the day with me. Albeit I was still nervous but not as much as I was earlier. I was sitting under a tree much like the one we had at home when I saw her arrive. I took a deep breath and readied myself, 'this is nothing to get uneasy about, it's only … the day tell the girl I love how I feel about her' I shook the thought from my head and waved to Gretchen showing her where I was.

"Hi Ferb" she said as she walked over to me, "you wanted to hang out?"

I took a silent breath, "yes … I also wanted to talk to you about something"

She took a seat next to me and looked me in the eye, "what's wrong?"

I paused, "you remember... a while back when I was dating Isabella?"

"Ya" she said quietly.

"Well … I was actually helping her make … someone jealous … I feel like an idiot for agreeing to something so wrong and … even more so that it took me so long to actually come to my senses and tell her that I was uncomfortable with helping her with her plan"

There was an awkward silence, "I'm guessing the person in question was your brother"

I nodded, "the worst of it is that her plan didn't even work, Phineas doesn't love. I would feel better about a horrible plan backfiring if I hadn't promised Isabella that Phineas would one day fall in love with her"

Gretchen froze, "you know in all the time I spent with Phineas I don't think I ever asked him whether or not he was in love with Isabella" (A.N. I looked through my whole story and couldn't find one instance where Phineas tells Gretchen how he feels about Isabella. Am I wrong? … on that note when did Gretchen tell Phineas that she was in love with Ferb? I really need to spend less time between chapters)

I sighed, "it doesn't matter, I couldn't find a single hint that Phineas was jealous or anything like that. it would have been obvious if he did, Phineas is terrible at hiding things and he can't lie to save his life"

"Ya ..." she said softly, "so you stopped dating Isabella because you thought that her plan was a bad one?"

I took a silent breath, "there was another reason"

"Really?"

"Ya" I paused "I stooped because I thought I was pushing the girl I loved into someone else s hands"

"Ferb?" she said softly.

"Gretchen ..." I looked her in the eye, "I love you" she pushed me to the ground (she's surprisingly strong for someone so small) and started making out with me.

(Phineas's POV)

Isabella and I had made it to the park quite some time ago and were now waiting in line for the coolest coaster ever, "Phineas?" Isabella said softly ""why did you really want to take me to the amusement park today"

I looked at her and smiled "like I said I wanted to make you feel better about getting your heart-broken by that boy you had a crush on"

Isabella's gaze turned into a leer "your lying"

I paused and noticed myself scratching my ear 'but I'm not … oh' I remembered that I had also planed to tell Isabella that I was in love with her. I took a silent breath and came up with a story "I wanted to talk with the manager about a new ride that Ferb and I had been planing"

Her leer tightened and she continued to look me in the eye, "okay" she said as she looked back to the ride that we were about to go on.

'I guess I should count myself lucky that Isabella doesn't know that I learned to lie, otherwise she would have known I was keeping something' I took a silent breath as we got on the ride. A few rides later it started getting dark and people were starting to leave, "looks like things are starting to get packed up"

"Phineas?" Isabella said as we made our way to the exit, "I told you that I would tell you who it was that SI was in love with remember?"

I sighed and took a few steps in front of Isabella, "I remember but ..." I closed my eyes, "there is something that I would like to tell you first"

"What is it?" she asked.

I took a deep breath and readied myself for what I was about to do, "Isabella … for the past few weeks … I've been feeling something that I've never felt before ..."

"What is it?"

I took another deep breath, "let me clarify it a little, I've understood a feeling that I've been having my whole life" there was silence, "I'm ..." I squeezed my eyes tight "I'm in love with you Isabella" as I expected Isabella was speechless and I figured that she was uneasy about me liking her so I continued, "but I know now that you don't feel the same way about me so …" I loosened my eyes "I removed my feelings for you" okay so I'm lying again and there only suppressed but I figured Isabella would feel a little more comfortable if I told her that I wasn't in love with her. I turned around and opened my eyes, "so … who was the boy that your in love with?"

I noticed Isabella's eye's starting to tear up and sadness was written all over her face, "Phineas ..." she let out a few tears, "I've been in love with you"

I felt a surge of odd emotions run throughout my body; pain, relief, self disappointment, anger, and some others that were unidentifiable due to the patch that was on my shoulder "Isabella … I'm-" before I could finish Isabella ran, I wanted to run after her but something in me was holding me back. I reached for my shoulder and pulled off the patch, threw it n the trash, and looked in the direction Isabella had run off in, "what did I just do?" I asked myself as I took hold of a good chunk of my hair.

Okay that's the end of the chapter. Now I must ask you all a serious question; should I change the story so that Baljeet end's up with Ginger instead of Mishti? I wrote that chapter back before I saw the new years special so … please tell me if you want me to change the story or leave it like it is. On top of that I'm going through the story and attempting to correct all the past spelling errors, if you have one that you really cant stand then please tell me so I can correct it.
