Today I'm celebrating. What am I celebrating you might ask? Well two things; one this is the twentieth chapter that has been posted for this story, secondly I start school soon. Now I know that this usually isn't something to celebrate but I do get to be away from my parents so that's always a win right? But that's a story for another day. Today I am writing this chapter but first I must mention something; I beleave that people have misunderstood what I said when I asked if I should make Baljeet be paired with Ginger instead of Mishti. What I asked is should I rewrite that chapter and repost it so that it is favoring BaljeetXGinger instead of BaljeetXMishti? I'm asking if I should rewrite the chapter, not should I make it that later in the story, but judging from what people said they do in-fact want me to make it BaljeetXGinger so I will do rewrite that some time this week unless people specify that they want me to do it sooner or not to do it at all.

Hot4dbz: If Isabella didn't come up with that plan then I wouldn't have much a fanfic right now would I?

14AmyChan: He has to make a pit stop first.

Skypan: If you're annoyed now then you'll be really annoyed at what happens next.

PianoMan5: Isabella ran because she misunderstood what Phineas said … or Phineas lied and Isabella beveled him.

Pinkpeacock: that's what I plan to do.

FlowerPower: My question was should I go back and change the story (which I will do some time this week).

FanFicCriTicTheThird: If your O button is broken then how did you spell awesome with only one O?

Phinbella-cute1: You have made me hungry for sweets, I must noe get some and postpone the posting of this chapter.

Starry09: Give me some examples and I will correct them.

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


(Ferb's POV)

I was siting on my bed thinking about how well the day went; Gretchen and I did all the stuff that I wanted us to do today and to top it all off I actually managed to ask her to be my girlfriend. And to make it better, she said yes. I looked to the ceiling and thought to myself, 'I wounder how Phineas and Isabella's day went? I mean it's not like something horrible happened to them right? The absolute worst thing that could happen is that Phineas want's to get some space from Isabella because he is weirded out because he doesn't return her feelings. Albeit the best thing that could happen is that Phineas says that he doesn't return her feelings' I sighed, 'why was I wrong? Where did I misread my brother? I could have sworn that he would develop feelings for Isabella if he didn't have them already. I mean half the time we had a plan and Isabella needed help with something Phineas would always drop our current idea and do whatever Isabella wanted us to do' I continued to look at the ceiling until I heard a loud bang on my door, 'now what could that have been?' I got up and walked over to the door to listen to what was on the other side. What I heard was whimpering of some sort. "Hello?" I said as I opened the door. As I opened it I saw Phineas lying down grasping his right foot in pain. "Phineas!" I shouted as I swung the door the rest of the way open, "what happened?"

Phineas turned his eyes to look at me, "I think I might have broken my foot"

I continued to stair at him, "how?"

"I attempted to kick down the door"

"Why?"

"Because I wanted to express my anger"

"Again, why?"

"Because I'm angry"

I rolled my eyes, "yet again, why?"

"Because you neglected to mention that the boy that Isabella was in love with just happened to be me"

I sighed, "I'm sorry but I did promise Isabella that I wouldn't. I thought Isabella was just being irrational in her fear that you would not feel the same way about her but now I see that … hold on why are you angry about this?"

Phineas worked his way to his feet and continued to stair at me in anger, "how many years has Isabella had a crush on my?"

I scratched my chin, "from what I can figure, she has had a crush on you since the day she met you until two years ago, at which point she fell fully in love with you"

He leered at me then limped to his closet, "and how many people knew about it?"

I scratched my chin again, "well … everyone" Phineas looked at me wide eyed, "I found out about a few days after, but it took her friends somewhere in the neighborhood of a year to find out because they never expected her to fall in love at such a young age. Baljeet, Buford, and Django found out three years ago about her crush, and Erick … found out the day he met Isabella because she was, and I quote 'so damn obvious about it'"

Phineas looked down in shame, "and I've been breaking her heart everyday haven't I?"

I walked over to my bed and took a seat, "you would actually be surprised, she hasn't tried everyday so she would only get her heart broken when you didn't understand that she was trying to go out with you on a date" I closed my eyes, "I guess her heart was really broken when she found out that you didn't return her feelings though" I looked up expecting to see Phineas looking down in shame but what I saw was a pair of shoes on a collision course with me head, yet strangely enough all I was unable to contemplate what was happening until they actually knocked me off my bed, "what was that for?"

"For assuming that I don't have feelings for Isabella" Phineas said as he continued to look through his closet for something.

I scratched my head, "what do you mean? You upset because I jumped to a conclusion? I know that you're not in love with her"

Phineas turned his head to glare at me, "what proof do you have that I don't love Isabella?"

I thought to myself for a moment before realizing what he was saying, "Phineas … you love Isabella?"

He sighed, "ya I love her. It took me a while to realize what the feelings were but I am in love with her"

I looked at him with a shocked expression for a moment the shook my head, "when did you find out what the feelings meant?"

He looked down and to the side, "when I saw you kissing her"

I froze for a moment then realized something, "impossible, when I was dating her I asked you if you loved her and you told me you didn't"

Phineas looked at me confused, "you never asked me that"

I froze and looked back through the story, "yes I did, I asked you in chapter two if you were in love with anyone"

Phineas gave me a look, "that was before you kissed her Ferb"

I froze again, "you seemed fine with me dating her at many points"

Phineas got up and pulled a box out from under his bed, "take a look at these"

I took the box and opened it and saw a bunch of patch like things, "the experiment that Erick asked you to partake in?"

Phineas shook his head and walked back to the closet, "there not something that Erick wanted to test. Thee emotional suppressors"

I slowly turned my head up to look at Phineas, "you told me they were for a test that Erick wanted to run"

"I lied"

"You cant lie without me knowing it, you have a tell"

Phineas let out a small laugh, "you don't think that I'm capable of learning how to loose a tell?" after Phineas finished his sentience he lifted up his hand and scratched his ear.

My eye's went wide, "who told you?"

Phineas looked back to the closet "Buford"

"When?"

"The day after you kissed Isabella"

"Why?"

"I didn't want you to know that I was jealous"

"Again, why?"

Phineas turned to look at me with his eyes wide with anger, "I WANTED TO BE HAPPY FOR THE TWO OF YOU!"

I was shocked and Phineas turned back to the closet. After a few moment I turned my head up to look at him, "I'm sorry" no response, "so what are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for something I wanted to give Isabella the day I was going to ask her if she wanted to date"

I face palmed, "this wouldn't happen to be the same day I started dating her would it?"

"I was on my way over to to ask her the very moment you kissed her"

I face palmed again, "I'm sorry, I wanted to … I have no excuse for what I did"

"Then I'm not angry"

My head shot up, "what?"

"I've made plenty of mistakes during this whole dilemma. I shouldn't have suppressed my emotions, I should have told you about my feeling for your girlfriend and that I was okay with it, and I defiantly shouldn't have told Isabella that I completely removed my feelings for her"

"You told her what?"

Phineas sighed, "I thought that she would not want to be my friend if I loved her and she didn't love me so I told her that I was no longer in love with her."

"Which is why you're trying to find that item so that you can tell her that you've always loved her"

Phineas sighed, "that would be the reason"

I looked at the ceiling, "you know what Phineas?"

"What?"

"All of this could have been avoided if Isabella waited a few more moments before kissing me"

"Ya if only-FOUND IT!" Phineas got up and rushed out the door.

"Good luck brother, I would like to see you and Isabella happy for once"


(Phineas's POV)

I ran out of the house with only one thing on my mind; telling Isabella the truth. I had lied to her to much and now I had driven her away with my selfishness and obliviousnes. 'you know that if you tell her the truth there is a very good chance that she'll be angry' "I know I know but if I don't-" 'you could make up a lie like you restored your memories when you found out that she loved you back' "I know but this is Isabella and she deserves the truth, if she's mad at me then I'll just have to deal with the consequences of my actions." I took a deep breath and knocked on the door to Isabella's house not expecting a warm welcome.

The door opened and Isabella's mom greeted me, "oh hello again Phineas, here to see Isabella I assume?"

"Yes Mrs. García-Shapiro. I'm here to talk to Isabella"

She glared at me, "care to explain why she is crying?"

"The short version? She misunderstood something I said"

"Can you give me the long version?"

I sighed and took in a deep breath, (A.N. Don t read this if you have bad eyes) "IfiguredoutthatIwasinlovewit hherjustaftershestarteddatin gFerbsoIdecidedtokeepmyfeeli ngsasecretunfortunatelyIsabe llawasdatingFerbtomakemejeal oussoIwoundupmakingherupsett henGretchenandIwentoutonadat ebutIdecidedthatIdidn'tlikeGretchenthatwaysoItoldh erthatIdidn'tlikeherthatwaybutIsabellaan dFerbthoughtthatGretchenandI weredatingsoIsabellagotsadbe causeshethoughtthatIdidn'tlovehersoFerbdecidedtostopd atingherandtellmeaboutIsabel la'splanonlywithouttellingmewho itwasthatshewasinlovewithsoI gotupsetthatthisboywhoIlater foundoutwasmedidn'tshowsignsofloveforIsabellas otodayItriedtomakeherfeelbet terbytakinghertotheparkatwhi chpointIfeltthatIhadtotellhe rthatIlovedherbutIalsotoldhe rthatIwasoverherbecauseIdidn 'twanthertonotwanttobefriends withmebecauseIlovedherbutIfo undoutthatIwastheboyshefelli nlovewithandsheranoffcryingb eforeIgotthechancetoapologiz eandhereIamtryingtotellherth atIstillloveher" I panted grasping for air and looking at Mrs. García-Shapiro hoping that she would let me see Isabella"

"I'm sorry Phineas but could you say that again?"


(Isabella's POV)

I was on my bed crying my eye's out, 'why? Why did I have to come up with that stupid plan? I drove Phineas away and now he doesn't love me anymore.' I continued to cry thinking about how much I messed up when I heard a knock on my door. "I don't want to talk about it mom" I said as I turned away from the door. I heard the door open and someone walk in, "I said I don't want to talk about it" I heard someone walk over and I closed my eyes tight, "please leave"

"But I need to tell you something first" I turned around as I heard the voice, it was Phineas, he had come to talk to me.

'He probably came to tell you that he doesn't want to be friends anymore seeing as you're in love with him' I sighed as I heard my subconscious speak, it made sense and I believed it, "Phineas I know what you're going to say and …" I froze, "I don't want to lose our friendship"

"Isabella" he said sadly.

"I was stupid to date your brother to make you jealous. I probably deserve to have my hope taken away from me"

"Isabella" he said again.

I shut my eyes tight "I don't deserve someone like you as a boyfriend"

"You deserve someone better" I opened my eyes and looked at him on the verge of crying, "I'm not about to condone trying to make someone jealous but … I've been hurting you for years not to mention … how cowardly I've been"

I looked at him curiously, "what do you mean?"

"I've been hiding my feelings for you because you were dating my brother and I wanted to be happy for you but … no matter what was really going on I should have told both of you instead of hiding it … not to mention ..."

"What?"

"I lied … about removing my feelings for you"

My eyes widened and my heart started racing, "you … still love me?"

Phineas sighed, "I will always love you Isabella, I just thought that it would be awkward if you knew that I love you so … I'm sorry"

"Phineas" I said weakly.

"I was weak and didn't respect the feelings I had for you and I don't blame you if you don't want to date me because of it" he reached out and handed me a pink rose, "a few week's ago I wanted to give you this and ask if you wanted to date but I saw you kissing Ferb and thought that you didn't like me like that" I slowly took the rose, "I know that I've made some bad choices but this time I'm going to go through with it even if I don't think I have a chance, Isabella? Would you be my girlfriend?"

I closed my eyes softly, "Phineas" I whispered.

"Yes Izzy?"

"Can you come closer?" as he leaned in I grabbed his collar and pulled so hard that he fell on the other side of me, before he could realize what was happening to him I kissed him as passionately as I could while some tears escaped my eyes, "yes" I whispered before kissing him again. I was kissing him so passionately and ferociously that I didn't give him the opportunity to kiss back, I wanted to express myself and now that I had Phineas I was going to help myself. After what felt like an eternity of bliss I finally separated from him to let him breath, "I love you Phineas" I said as I wrapped my arms around his neck and dug me head into his chest.

He wrapped his arm around my wast and pulled me closer,"I love you too Izzy"


And that is the end of chapter 20! I know that everyone here is thinking 'that was a great story' but truth be told people are forgetting about something. I'm not going to tell you what it is that you're forgetting but here's a hint; I'm not giving you a hint. Good luck and I plan to write the next chapter sometime next week and change the part with Baljeet so that it ends up being BaljeetXGinger instead of BaljeetXMishti some time this week provided I don't have to much homework. That is all for now. See you tomorrow.
