Chapter 5: Run and Run As Fast as you Can!
Isabella's Point of View
Phineas and I were just sitting down far away from the town hoping that German soldiers weren't looking for citizens far outside the town. We decided to hide in a small cave that seemed unknown to the population of the town. I wanted to move to France, where my expertise in French linguistics would surely come in handy, but Phineas disagreed saying that the closer they were to the Time Machine the faster they would be found by Ferb (if he ever came).
"We can't just leave Isabella," Phineas said. We were having another argument. Even though it was my birthday and Phineas had sworn to do whatever I wished, he didn't want to leave and never have the possibility of being found by Ferb.
"Yes we can Phineas," I said. "If it makes you feel any better, we can leave subtle clues as to where we've gone and maybe Ferb has rounded up the gang and is coming to rescue us."
"The chances of Ferb finding us are phenomenally small. I mean, he doesn't even know where we landed."
"Yes he does," I said.
"He does?" Phineas asked.
"Yes he does Phineas," I said drastically. "I'm the reason that Ferb isn't here with us right now."
"You… Wha?" Phineas said with a horrified expression on his face. "ISABELLA GARCIA-SHAPIRO, WHAT DID YOU DO?" I flinched when he yelled at me. I felt guilty for doing this to Phineas, but it had to be done.
"I kicked him out of the Time Machine before the portal to your backyard had closed," I said hanging my head. Guilt swept over me and I almost couldn't even control my emotions.
"Why would you do something like that Isabella?" Phineas asked.
"I saw some explosions begin to happen and I didn't want any of us to be in the Time Machine, I thought that we would land in your backyard like Ferb, but we were too late, we landed here, and the Time Machine who knows where, assuming it survived and all," I said truthfully, guilt kept me pinned in front of the Goddess of Truth, (meaning I couldn't lie to Phineas at all).
"I suppose you did everything for the best," Phineas said. "I'm sorry I yelled at you. I just panicked when I thought that Ferb would be lost in some horrific time period and all that."
"It's okay," I said.
"No it isn't," Phineas said angry at himself. "I yelled at you!"
"Phineas we're all doing the best we can," I said comfortingly. "You're just letting panic and fear creep into your head and that's understandable." That got Phineas to stop talking now didn't it? In fact it turned out that Phineas just wanted to think about some things.
"But how does he know we were here?" he asked me.
"I saw him notice that the code had changed," I said. "Ferb looked at me and nodded as if he wanted me to kick him out. So I did betting both of our lives on the fact that he would be able to find us again and-" I stopped hearing foot steps running towards us. Phineas noticed that I had stopped and looked up to wonder why. He heard them to.
"It might be Ferb by now?" Phineas said more to himself than to me. We left our cave to see if it was indeed Ferb. We ran instead into a German patrol.
"Uh, Ph- Ph- Ph- Phineas," I said in a panicked voice. "I know what we're gonna do today."
"And what's that?" Phineas said in the same type of voice.
"We're gonna run for our lives," I said and Phineas nodded his head and as one we turned and ran deeper into the forest with the German soldiers only catching us when we came to a river that we couldn't ford.
"Nicht bewegen!" they shouted. We turned around and raised our hands above our heads. Oh god Ferb, hurry up already!
HUGE CLIFFHANGER RIGHT HERE! Sorry if anyone is disappointed about there being no Doofenschmirtz and Perry in this storyline. I've never really took an interest in writing about them, but I did for one story I'm writing which will be coming out soon I hope... Well anyway back to this. If you were wondering what Nicht bewegen means, it means: Don't Move! Well, stay tuned for Chapter 6!
