Hey Cookinators, IrresistibleCookie here with chapter 2 of NGIT – Picks and Chooses! This is the final chapter of Act I; act II will be chapters 3-5/6, it depends.

Friendly reminder: Phineas and Ferb are OOC in this, very OOC; you'll see it in this chapter. Some mild-ish swearing in this chapter.

Let's go! Don't forget to R/R!

I don't own P&F.

Isabella's POV

Finally, it was morning and I would now have a chance to tell Phineas and Ferb. Morning seemed like years before it came, and yet here I was, standing outside their door. I decided to pick a choice in my head before blurting it out loud without thinking.

Good choice, Izzy.

Wha-who are you?

I'm your inner voice; I'm here to guide you through the hard times.

Okay...who should I choose?

I won't tell you.

Aw, c'mon; just give me descriptions!

Okay, fine.

Thank you!

Phineas is a red-head with a triangular face. He has a hyper personality, always knows how to brighten up your day, and is the mastermind behind the blueprints. Ferb is an introvert who usually prefers to be alone. He is referred to as a ladies' man by others. He is usually (almost) always quiet, and when he speaks, he usually gets interrupted by Phineas, the talkative one of the two. When someone is feeling sad, Ferb comes to his senses and (omit) tries to solve a (the) problem. Phineas is oblivious while Ferb isn't. Phineas will go to extreme lengths to gain what he thinks is love, while Ferb's simple gestures and actions can brighten up a relationship. That's all I know; it's up to you to choose. You take care, now; bye!

I had made my decision not even halfway through. It's now or never.

Phineas' POV

I had a crush on Ferb, and that was final! I don't know when or how I developed this crush, but it was there! I already knew that I had a crush on Isabella from the start...but seriously, isn't this illegal or something?

Well, not technically illegal; we're not blood-related.

I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't realize Ferb walking in our room, looking very concerned and worried.

Ferb's POV

I had run downstairs to catch my breath as I was hyperventilating. I know what you're thinking, 'Oh, Ferb, the quiet guy, panicking!'

Well, everybody shut up; it's who I am, okay! Yes, I can admit there's something different with my sexuality, yes, I can admit that I'm scared. But that doesn't stop me from being who I am!

Anyways, I'd calmed down enough to come back into the room where Phineas was still seated. I opened the door and found him worried and exhausted. As soon as he sensed my proximity, he immediately started freaking out. He tried jumping out the window, to escape, but luckily there were prickly bushes underneath that prevented him from jumping. If he had jumped, he would have landed in the bushes, coming out with cuts and scars, and possibly bruises. So he had to say 'no' to that option and turn around to face me, as I was in a state of worry and concern.

"What do you want, Ferb?" he spat out harshly. He probably wanted me out of his sight, but I chose not to leave.

"I-I just wanted to check on you, seeing as you haven't come out of your room since we came back from Bella's house." I replied.

He suddenly locked eyes with me, narrowing his eyes. He gave me a suspicious look, as though I was disabled or such.

"Wait, 'Bella'!" he exclaimed.

I realized my mistake; I had blurted out my nickname for Isabella in front of Phineas. That would seem suspicious, wouldn't it?

"Yes, I said 'Bella'." I admitted.

"You idiot!" he exclaimed once more.

"What did I do?" I defended.

"You sneaky bitch, you have a crush on Isabella! Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about!"

I listened to his last sentence and countered back.

"Oh yeah! What about your crush on Isabella, huh?"

I could tell that he couldn't take it anymore, so he thought for a few minutes for a counter-back. He punched me in the face, hard! Why the hell would my brother, out of all people, punch me in the face? That seemed questionable.

So I responded back by punching him back in return. That return punch brought up a fight, and boy, was it brutal!

After 10 minutes, we stopped fighting and looked around ourselves. Nearly everything was destroyed in some way. There were broken shards, broken objects, Phineas' boat bed was torn in such a way that it couldn't be mended; my bed was in the same condition. You could say a tornado had happened and it had messed up our room.

After looking around a bit more, our eyes landed on the doorframe, and standing in the doorway was...

...our mother.

"PHINEAS AND FERB, YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!" she bellowed. From the other room, you could hear Candace (who had returned from college for unknown reasons) 'celebrating her victory'.

Isabella's POV

I stood there for a few minutes, then came to my senses.

"I can't do this!" I thought, running away to the house, entering it, and running upstairs to my room.

After panicking for a little while, I came to my senses and decided to finally tell them the truth. Just then, I heard yelling coming from their house. It was their mom.

After a few minutes of waiting (just in case), I quickly got out my phone and texted Ferb.

Hey, what happened?

Nothing much, Mother punished us. She said she was so mad, she couldn't think of a punishment.

Can you and Phineas come over in 10 minutes? I have something to tell you.

K. Bye.

I put away the phone, feeling a bit more nervous than eager.

Phineas' POV

"Hey, Ferb," I shouted from across the room. "What was that about?"

"Bella (I glared at him) wants us to come over in 10 minutes; she wants to talk." he replied.

"We should talk." I declared.

"I think so, too." he agreed. "Let's blurt out at the same time."

"3," I counted down. "2...1!"

"I'm in love with you!" we admitted simultaneously. "Wait, what, you're in love with me?" we continued. "This is not good, What about Izzy/Bella?"

"Wait!" Ferb exclaimed. "Izzy? Are you serious?" My face flushed.

"Let's go to her place and wait." I quickly said, hoping to change the subject.

We left faster than a speeding bullet, both our faces flushing with embarrassment.

When Izzy finally opened the door, she looked scared and nervous; and gorgeous, because seriously, that booty though.

Isabella's POV

"So...I...um...have crushes on both of you," I began. Both boys gasped. "And it's time for me to choose my lover. I've thought of this for a long time now, and, I choose..." Both boys held their breaths. "Ferb..."

Said boy breathed out a sigh of relief, while Phineas turned around and ran away crying. I then felt bad for him.

Ferb's POV

"I also love Phineas..." I whispered, quiet enough so hopefully Bella wouldn't hear.

So, that's the final chapter in Act I. Find out what happens next in Act II! What will happen to Phineas?

Hope you enjoyed!

My name is IrresistibleCookie (even though I'm not what the username seems) and I'll see you all in the next chapter! Munching out since 2014.
