Well I just read over the story and let me tell you the one thing that I have said more than anything "how on earth did I forget about that?" I was half tempted to rewrite the whole story but in the end I realized that I could make do with an extra chapter. Another thing I realized was I promised that the climax would be somewhere around chapter 13 or 14 and here we are at chapter 17 and we just got to the good stuff, but I digress, TO THE REVIEWS!
LadyPhoenix07: well you're wait is over.
TheNargana: She might, she might not, you'll see in this chapter.
Skypan: I will quote you on that statement you made in the first line at some point.
Em: In order, … you couldn't make that prediction earlier? Okay calm down a little we all know that Rica is really Isabella in disguise, yes we all know now that Rica is really Isabella in disguise, yes you did but you said it all in one day that happened to come after it was already revealed and on top of that no one ever said that they thought you were wrong some people even agreed with you, have you ever considered decaffeinated coffee? I originally had this chapter done last night but I decided to postpone it just because of your comment (or mostly, I never post more than one chapter of any story in a single day otherwise it would never get read).
EternalxNightxwalker: Well … she got scared.

(Erick's POV)
I was walking around the dance floor looking for someone to talk to (Katie had walked away when we got here for some reason). Eventually I found Buford and Django waiting near the concession table, Buford was devouring all the food while Django was looking around franticly. "What are you two doing here? Don't you have dates or something?"
Django scratched the back of his head "well the thing is …" both Buford and I looked at him waiting for him to continue "I don't think Adyson likes me like I like her"
Buford shot up "but I thought the two of you were-"
"We weren't"
"Really?" I asked
"Ya … I mean I like her and all but … I don't think she feels the same way about me"
Buford was now fully away from the food bar "but you two danced together, that must mean she likes you right?"
Django sighed "just because we danced together doesn't mean anything"
I sighed "what about you Buford? Didn't you come here with Milly?"
He sighed "yes I came here with her but I'm not dating her"
"Still dating that French girl then huh?"
Buford slammed his hand down on the table "her name is Brigitte, and no were not currently dating, we broke up"
"Again?" Django asked sarcastically.
"Yes again, and I don't want to hear nothing about us being that on and off thing couple, because we're not"
I rolled my eyes "whatever" I looked around and saw Phineas sitting on a bench not too far from where we were "hey Phineas!" I shouted to him. As I walked over Buford and Django followed "what happened?"
He looked up at me and sighed "Isabella ran away in tears"
There was a long silence before Buford finally spoke "well we all knew that that was the outcome, and you did have something planned for this right?" Phineas slowly nodded "then what's the problem?"
Phineas sighed "I guess I didn't think it would be this painful" he looked to the ground "I don't even know where she ran off to"
I watched as Django walked away and I shook my head "well whatever the case you have to keep trying"
(Phineas's POV)
I looked at Erick and stood up "I wasn't about to give up Erick" I started walking toward the main hallway "I just needed to wait for her to settle down"
(Isabella's POV)
(Several minutes later)
I was sitting on a bench out in front of the school 'why did I have to pretend to be someone else?' I thought to myself 'why did I have to take advantage of Phineas and Ferb not recognizing me?' I continued to cry until I felt a hand on my shoulder; I looked up to see that it was Phineas; this only made me cry more "Phineas … I so sorry about tricking you I just …"
"I know Isabella" he said slowly.
"What?" I asked looking up at him.
"I know that you're in love with me"
I was shocked "how?" I asked as the tears stopped momentarily.
He scratched the back of his head and looked away "well … Baljeet let it slip out during the welcome back party"
I froze 'note to self: KILL BALJEET' I tried to get up to run away again but Phineas grabbed my hand and pulled me into a hug.
I started to cry again until he whispered something into my ear "Please tell me that you're not going to break up with me"
I froze and looked up at Phineas "you … still want to stay with me?"
He ran his fingers through my hair and pulled out my ponytail "more than anything" he took a step back and pulled out a pink rose "I love you Isabella, I love you more than anything else in the world" I slowly brought my hand to his and noticed that there was something else in his hand along with the rose.
My hand slowly touched his and more tears started to flow "I love you too" I said softly. Before I could say anything else he wrapped my left hand around the rose and revealed what he was holding in his right hand "PHINEAS!" I shouted, it was a ring, a class ring but still a ring, it had a pink gem that looked like it was flawless "how? … Why?"
He smiled "so is that a yes or a no" I nodded my head and he placed the ring in my hand "it's engraved" we whispered I looked at the ring and sure enough it had an engraving 'to Isabella, the girl I've been in love with this entire time' after letting me read the engraving he slipped it on my right ring finger and looked me in the eyes "so this means that were officially going steady right?" I nodded slowly and then he brought his lips to mine, sure we've kisses many times before but this one felt better than any of those other times.
So this is the second to last chapter. The next one will be them (insert spoiler here). Look forward to it. And for those of you who are still curious Phineas only asked Isabella if she wanted to go steady, not to marry him. And I need advice, should I change the rating on this to K+? Well that's all for now. I'll see you again tomorrow.
