(Erick's POV)
(The weekend of Thanksgiving)
The sun is shining, it is warm out (which a miracle seeing as it was snowing all week), and we were putting the finishing touches on the welcome home party for Isabella and the others. I on the other hand was waiting for a certain someone to ask me about a certain dance coming up. Some people say that I should just ask her myself but every time someone says that I remind them that I am not a student at that school. But I digress, the entire group is going to be here and I am thinking about a girl. I could tell Phineas was excited seeing as this would be the first time since early summer that the entire group was at his house (Phineas, Ferb, Buford, Baljeet, Me, Irving, Django, Isabella, and the fireside girls). When the sign was finished I decided to ask Katie about the Dance "so Katie any good school events coming up that you are interested in?"
She let out a small laugh "none come to mind Erick"
I saw everyone else try to hide their laughter and I gave them all a playful glare. We all took one last look at the 'welcome back' when a familiar yet slightly different voice caught everyone's attention "What'cha'doin'?" we all looked to the gate to see Isabella and the other three fireside girls that also went to that fancy girls school, everyone's attention however was currently on Isabella (well every guy's attention anyway). Like all the other girls she had grown some, but unlike the other girls she had … 'grown' slightly. And although it wasn't much it was enough to give Baljeet a bloody nose, which made him run into the house in utter embarrassment.
As we all laughed at Baljeet I looked back to the fire side girls to see how the rest of them had changed something hit me that made my eyes widen "my god" I whispered.
It was at that moment that I noticed Katie holding my arm trying to get my attention "hey Erick there's a dance coming up in a few weeks and seeing as you're not a student at our school and would need to go with someone to go to the dance at all I was wondering if you wanted to go as my friend to … you know … get in the dance"
I chuckled a little and smiled "I'd love to"
(Phineas's POV)
I noticed a few things when I looked as Isabella. First that she had grown … in more ways than one, second that I really missed her more than I thought, and third … that statement I gave Rica Halloween night … was now a lie. "ARG!" Erick shouted grasping his ears and collapsing to the ground.
Katie (who for some reason was now on Erick's arm) helped him to his feet "What's wrong?" she asked.
Erick grasped his head in pain "I think someone just shouted in delight over a sentence that was obvious since two chapters ago" every one gave him a confused look "forget it"
"Okay" I heard Isabella say. I looked over to her and for some reason I felt the need to go over to her and … well kiss her.
"ARG! They shouted again" we all looked to Erick and started to assume that he was going crazy.
"Well like I said before What'cha'doin'?" an idea immediately popped into my head.
"Well" I started "looking at how everyone's changed in the past few months, it might be a good idea to make a time capsule so we can see what we used to look like some years from now" everyone seemed to think that it was a great idea so Ferb immediately got started on some plans while I tried to sneak away "I'm going to see how Baljeet is doing" I said going into the house. As I entered it rushed into the kitchen thinking that no one would be in there, sadly I was wrong but it was Baljeet so I just ran with what I said earlier. "Hey Baljeet you okay?" I asked.
"Physically, I will be fine" he said weakly.
"What's wrong?"
He sighed "It's just … Isabella gotten so much more attractive hasn't she?"
I gave Baljeet a scared look "I'm not allowed to think about her that way seeing as I now have a girlfriend"
Apparently he didn't hear me since he just kept on rambling "such beauty, such intelligence, such kindness, such leadership, such perfection"
I looked to the ground 'ya I'll say' I hit myself in the head 'I shouldn't be thinking about her that way I have a girlfriend'
"STOP SCREAMING" Erick shouted from the yard. I shrugged it off and started to walk to the back yard but what Baljeet said something that took me by surprise.
"Yet she only has eyes for Phineas" I froze and slowly turned around.
"Okay there loud gasps that time" I ignored what Erick said and continued to stare at Baljeet.
"Can you say that again Baljeet?" I asked.
Unfortunately this time he heard me but apparently forgot who he was talking to "Isabella is in love with Phineas, has been whole life, but all that idiot see's when he looks at her is a friend, not a girl that is obviously in desperate need of his affection" I was … okay I was curious about how Baljeet didn't recognize that he was talking to me but I didn't question it at the moment.
"How many times has Isabella tried to get … Phineas's attention?"
"Every day she came over she would try to flirt with him, tell him her feelings, or ask him out but every time he would misunderstand what she was talking about and break her heart even more … Phineas is an unworthy ######## who get arrested for all he's put Isabella through" I was taken aback by Baljeet's comment but I decided that enough was enough.
"Baljeet … please look at who you are talking to" he turned around and the biggest expression of fear appeared on his face.
"Oh … Phineas … how long have …" he broke down to his knees "I'm sorry I insulted you oh please don't tell Isabella what I said, she will kill me"
"Should I not tell her that you said that she loves me or that you called me an ########?" I asked glaring down at him.
"She will kill me for either and rip out my soul for both"
I got to one knee and glared Baljeet in the eye "do you know how complicated you just made my life?" he shook his head "Rica is never to find that Isabella likes me understand?"
(Erick's POV)
I shivered as a cold sensation found its way down my spine.
(Phineas's POV)
Baljeet nodded and got to his feet "I really didn't mean to insult you Phineas I just …"
I sighed "I understand Baljeet, let's just go outside and get started on the time capsule" I helped him clean up the tissues he used and we made our way out side to work on the time capsule. When we finished we were all tasked to find something to put in it, something that represented us. It was decided that we would all find something at home and put it in the time capsule tomorrow, and then burry it next week after Rica had a chance to put something in it. But as … insisted by Ferb and Erick we would take a group picture now and put that in first.
"Alright now, everyone get into position" Irving said as he manned the camera. It was decided that the fireside girls kneel in front, Django, Irving, Buford, and Baljeet would stand next to the center group, and the center group consisted of Isabella, Erick, Ferb, and myself, with Ferb and I standing in the center.
"Hold on a second" Ferb said "I think that Isabella and Phineas should stand in the center" I stared at him with a look of shock.
"Why?" I asked.
Erick stuck his head out from the other side of Ferb and answered "Because you two were the first two in this group"
"Ya and even though you and me are the ones that come up with and build most of the things we do as a group I think the two founders are more deserving of the center than the two brothers" I (reluctantly) agreed with Ferb and he and Isabella switched places for the picture.
"Okay smile everyone" Irving hit the timer and ran for his spot. We all silently counted down in our heads as the time grew close. Just as the last seconds counted down Isabella through her arms around me and pulled me into a hug, Thinking quickly I hugged her back and put on a slightly digger smile for the camera, and just like that the picture was taken, after which we continued to enjoy the party.
So who known's what Erick found out? Just like before if you know then don't tell because I want this to be a surprise too. "what's changed?": It's not really something that's changed but when I was typing this part (and the next one for that matter) an idea popped into my head. The idea was to completely change this chapter and take the time capsule idea and turn it into a one shot. But unfortunately that would mean that I would have to rewrite this chapter with a completely new idea and add in more stuff to make this a successful one shot. So I canned the idea. I might take it up in the future or I might not. Feel free to use it yourself. Remember if you know either what Ferb found out or what Erick found out keep it to yourself and don't spoil it.
