Ok, so i know that previous chapter had little to no real plot meaning or point to it, but that is because I forgot what my idea for my story was. Now I know what it is. I own nothing but what I said I owned. also, sorry this took forever and a day.

Omniscient PoV:

Xanther was sitting in bed playing a new game he found online. It was about a pig trying to save his girlfriend who was taken to the moon. As boring and repetitive as it was, it kept his mind off the stressful facts. He didn't have to think about that Phineas. He didn't have to worry that Phineas might like his sister. He didn't have to protect Phineas for his sake. A lily is a delicate flower, and when it breaks, when she breaks, the destruction is indescribable. Lily had now turned five nice boys into lillies. They all broke her heart, she broke their souls and flesh.

But he didn't, shouldn't, COULDN'T think about it. Not now. Now he was a new kid that was just like everyone else. Even so, he knew he couldn't keep it that way. He knew he would have to get Phineas to like someone else, possibly that Isabella girl. Or did he? Phineas seemed smart, and looked nice, but could he handle a delicate flower? He'd have to find out soon.

Lily on the other hand was not concerned at all about any of the boys. She was trying to join this interesting group known as the Fireside Girls. She thought that she may as well try to fit in and be normal. First she scouted out connections. She called every girl in the troop and asked if they had any gardens, and if they want help with them. She got a yes from Gretchen and Ginger, apparently the two oddest girls in the troop.

After scouting out help for social awareness, she started a new journal. Everywhere that Lily and Xanther lived, she kept a journal. This one started with a quick story about the weather ball. It was relatively short and simple, but got the job done.

In another house down the street, Ferb was researching all that he could about the Llaw family. Apparently, the father was an Engineer and the mother was a stay-at-home mom. They moved five times in that many years, yet never because of a lost job. The girl, Lily, was a straight A student as was Xanther. Both were going to go to the same school as the gang. This information intrigued Ferb, seeing as they both seemed to gain a liking to the group.

After doing all he could to research, Ferb took a nap. Looking up stuff about people was tiring.

Phineas also had some work to do. He was so into this Lily girl that he couldn't stop thinking about her. He had soon finished plans for a giant flower, genetically engineered to produce and shoot out large quantities of flowers and anyone or anything. Surely this would win the heart of Lily.

Isabella was also hatching a plan. She knew that Phineas must like this Lily. She had two options: win back Phin, or make him hate Lily. She decided on the second because the first plan never worked in all the years that she tried it. She would invite Lily to a fireside troop meeting, give her an impossible job, and watch her make a fool of herself. It would work perfectly. At least, she thought.

that afternoon

(no point of view)

Everyone met that afternoon at Danville park. Phineas presented his idea, except there was a problem: it seemed that someone had switched his blueprints with blueprints for a mirror that shows the soul. It was an interesting idea and he decided to follow through.

As they began to build, Lily decided to test Phineas. Xanther had told her about his observations and she would have to see if he could handle her. The entire day she stood next to him, talked to him, and at one point said she was cold... in the middle of the summer. Even so, Phineas somehow produced a jacket and gave it to her. He seemed perfect except for one problem.

The Isabella girl. Lily noticed that Isabella constantly glared at the two children. If Phineas had any feelings for this girl, well, there isn't enough room in a boys heart for two girls. At least, to Lily that was a truth she kept to heart.

Soon the soul mirror was complete and Ferb volunteered first. Inside it showed fish and chips, a soccer ball, and a union jack. Baljeet went next and revealed a hindu statue, curry, and a sandwich; he later said that he was hungry. When Buford went up it showed a wedgie, bad gramer, and a football. Xanther was next up.

Xanther was the first of the four unusual images. All it showed was a blank sheet of paper next to a black sheet of paper. Nobody could or would explain.

Lily also had an unusual one, though slightly less so. It showed a Lily, but it was red and black. Not dying, but naturally black. Truly an unusual sight.

Isabella was the next to go. It showed a conflict of fire and roses. Almost as unusual as Lily's, but different.

Phineas was last and oddest of all. It showed nothing but a rock. It looked like no more that a boring pebble next to home, but Phineas was sweating the entire time it was shown on the mirror. To him it represented his stubbornness and stupidity when it came to love. To everyone else it was a rock.

After everyone went they talked about what they saw. It was an odd sight and many of them disregarded the pictures as things of naught. Even Ferb just laughed it off. But two people knew that all shown was truth: Phineas and Xyloth. Both of them knew the power of the quantum foam that was used to show the "soul" or embodiment of the thoughts of the person. They knew what each others meant too.

Phineas knew that Xanther's papers showed the wisdom and power inside him. Xyloth knew the heart problem Phineas had. They soon talked to eachother.

"Phineas," Xanther said, "I forbid you from liking my sister. She can and will turn you into a flower." This surprised Phineas, but only a little.

"I will fancy who I please," replied Phineas, "It is my risk and I will do what I want."

"You will regret this. I will steal your one friend Isabella if you don't stop. From the looks of it you haven't shown her much respect," countered Xanther.

"You wouldn't," gasped Phineas. He soon realized that Xanther could and would. He then left with everyone else. "We will see who wins this battle," he shouted as he left.

There. Thought I would never finish this. Sorry, I am working on three stories at once, and this isn't high priority. You have two ending to choose from: Phinbella or Painful. Whichever gets more review, (comments, replies, whatever) will be typed by May 28th. Sincerely, your neighborhood einstien.
