Chapter 3- Even If I'm Different

Phineas smiles and held out his arms for a hug, "yes it's me." He whispers.

Isabella eyes tear up and she tackles him to the ground hugging him tightly she rubbed her head against his chest, Phineas gasps and fell over. "Whoa!" He laughs.

Isabella pulls away and she looks at his cute smile he always made, "oh Phineas! I never knew you would really come back!" She exclaims and hugs him tighter.

Phineas struggles to get free, "Isabella! You're crushing me!" He chocked.

Isabella instantly let go and she stood up, "oops sorry." She giggles and looks at his white wings behind him. "Wait...why do you have wings?" She asks.

Phineas moves his wings so he could see them, "oh yeah..." He laughs and flaps them a bit so he was hovering above the ground, "I got them when I died. I'm still new to the flying thing though." He admits and landed.

Isabella was astonished, "why can I touch you and feel your warmth and everything?! Aren't you suppose to be dead?" She asks.

Phineas nodded and he walks up to her and took her hand, "Here let me put it this way, it's like I'm in a different body. I can feel pain, I have a heart, I have everything from my old body! Oh and I have wings. The wings are a mark that I'm an angel. But only certain people can see me." He explains.

Isabella blushes thinking about what he said, "hmmm if you have everything from your old body, does that mean you can have kids?" She asks.

Phineas folds his wings and he shrugs, "actually I honestly don't know. I-I think I can, but I guess I'll find out." He replies.

Isabella smirks and she puts her hands together, "you'll find out heh? Sooo that means you want kids." She giggles.

Phineas rolls his eyes and folds his arms, "getting off topic here!" He growls.

Isabella giggles, "I know I know! Ok so why can I see you?" She asks.

Phineas flinches noticing something strange he flew into the air and he grabs her carrying her, "you're not scared of heights are you?" He asks.

Isabella looks at him her eyes sparkled she could feel her heart starting to beat fast. "No, not when you're holding me." She whispers and presses her head against his chest.

Phineas blushes and he held her close to him as he flew to her house, he slowly landed and he set her down folding his wings. Isabella looks around noticing that she was at her house, "why did you take me here?" She asks.

Phineas points at the door, "because your mom is worried about you." He replies.

Isabella sees her mom push open the slide door and she ran out to Isabella and hugs her, "Isabella! You're back I was so worried!" She shouts.

Isabella looks at Phineas who was smiling but she could see disappointment in his eyes. she doesn't see him she thought and looks at her mom. Vivian grabs her wrist and pulls her toward the house, "come on Isabella! We need to get you inside!" She shouts.

Isabella struggles trying to release her hand from her mom, "Phineas!" She shouts noticing that he was about to fly away. "Please don't leave me!" She whimpers.

Phineas turns and looks at her he sighs and flew into the air, I'm sorry Isabella but I have to go. he thought.

Isabella watches him fly away she sighs sadly and she pulls away from her mom and walks to her room slowly she opens her bedroom door and plops down on her bed staring at the sealing. "He is still oblivious even as a human angel. I just wish he was seen by everyone." She whispers and closes her eyes.

Phineas landed on a cloud and he lays down on it, "I wonder why she wanted to know if I could have kids?" He asks himself and looks over the cloud at his house noticing how everyone was heading to bed, "it's very late...I don't know what to do." He whispers and gets an idea.

Isabella was on her bed relaxing, she heard something and opened her eyes to see Phineas above her smiling.

"Hi!" He yells.

Isabella screams and covers her mouth quickly, she pushes him off and sat up, "Phineas! What are you doing here?" She asks.

Phineas looks around her room, "well I uhh was bored because only you can see me soooo I uhh was hoping I could stay with you in here tonight?" He asks.

Isabella mouth dropped and she quickly closed it she looks away blushing, "I-I don't mind at all!" She shouts excitedly. he's actually wanting to stay with me tonight! It will be so awesome! she thought.

Phineas sat on the floor playing with his wings, he felt someone next to him and he turns around to see Isabella feeling his wings. He blushes and let's her feel them. Isabella eyes were large with curiosity she looks at the shiny white feathers they felt like silk they were so soft, "I'm starting to wish I died so a I can get wings!" She admits.

Phineas instantly folds his wings and he shook his head, "don't even say that Izzy! Many things I wish I could change about this! Like no one can see me!" He growls.

Isabella was surprised by him getting mad at her, "that's what confuses me, why can I only see you so far?" She asks.

Phineas sighs, "well because before I died you were the one there with me the whole time, and when you were at my grave crying it's like you summoned me to come back." He explains and stood up, "therefore I am your protector!" He yells and gets into a battling position, "I'll take on everyone who tries to harm you!" He yells.

Isabella blushes and pulls him back down, "Phineas you need to rest. It's almost 2:00 in the morning." She laughs.

Phineas nodded and he leans against the couch and he tries to fall asleep.

Isabella looks at him she felt like her heart was melting she just loved how cute he looked when he slept, she giggles and sat down next to him she presses against him and closes her eyes. Phineas wakes up from feeling Isabella, he looks down at her and blushes. Phineas wraps his arm around her and he pulls her closer to him, "goodnight Isabella." He whispers and falls asleep.

••••••••••The Next Day••••••••••

Phineas woke up with Isabella holding him tightly as she slept, Phineas blushes and didn't move not wanting to wake her. Phineas perks up hearing her mom calling Isabella's name. Isabella opens her eyes tiredly and she looks around noting that she was holding Phineas she blushes and pulls away, "sorry.." She laughs and stood up, I guess I should go see what she wants." She explains.

Phineas stood up and he flapped his wings happily, "I'm going to get some clothes from my house too!" He shouts and flew out her window toward his house. Isabella watches him go she smiles and walks downstairs to her mom.

Phineas crashed into his house not use to landing yet, he groans and turned over he looks at his bent wing and growls, "ugh! I hope that doesn't affect my ability to fly." He whispers and hears a chattering sound he turns around to find Perry staring up at him. "Perry!" He shouts and picks up his pet, "do you see me?" He asks.

Perry made the little chatter sound to reply. Phineas laughs and pets Perry, "awesome so that means Isabella isn't the only one that can see me!" He whispers.

Phineas walks into his house he went upstairs to his and Ferb's room and he looks around noticing how different it looked everything looked so gloomy it was sad. Phineas set Perry down on his bed and he went to his dresser he opens it up and looks through it trying to find some clothes to wear. He grabs a red short sleeve shirt and he fixes it so his wings could fit through it, he slipped the red shirt on and looks at the bold words written on it 'carpe diem' He sighs happily and puts on some dark blue shorts, "there! Now I'm fit for the weather!" He shouts and moves his right wing to look at it he feels the feathers a lot of them were broken from crashing into his house. Phineas feels around his wing to find where it hurt the most, right when he hit the middle he tensed up, "yep! That's the spot! Ok...it hurts more than I expected, maybe I should try to fly and see what happens." He whispers and flapped his wings hovering above the ground a bit before his wing gave out and made him fall back to the ground. Phineas gasps at the pain and he looks at his bent wing, "great! Now I'll have to travel by walking! How am I suppose to get use to flying if I can't fly?!" He yells then froze when he heard someone close the door he instantly folds his wings and tries to hide.

"P-Phineas? Is that really you?" A voice asked with a sad tone in it.

Phineas bites his lip and he slowly turned around to see his brother staring at him, Phineas closes his eyes and nodded slowly. Ferb sprinted up to him and hugs him, "I can't believe it's really you! This is so amazing! You're alive!"

Phineas pulls away, "actually Ferb that's not technically true, I'm still dead. I'm just a different Phineas reborn into an angel." He explains and folds his arms, "I need your help Ferb, my wing is broken and I can't fly." He explains and shows him his right wing, "do you think you could help me get to Isabella's house?" He asks.

Ferb nodded and grabs his back pack and went to help Phineas.

Phineas and Ferb got to Isabella's house safely and he made Ferb knock on the door sense Vivian can't see him. After a few seconds the black haired mother opened the door and she smiles, "oh Ferb! Look how much you've grown! How are you? It's been so long since I've seen you! Well after the accident no one has heard from you..." She trailed off.

Ferb turns around to look at Phineas confused, Phineas smacks his head, ugh I'm going to have to explain everything to him. he thought.

Ferb chuckles, "it's only been a week Mrs. Garcia Shapiro. Can I come in? I want to see Isabella." He asks.

Vivian smiles, "of course!" She shouts and walks into her living room and calls for Isabella.

Ferb walks into the house with Phineas beside him, "nice job Ferb!" Phineas says

Ferb gave a thumbs up and sat down on the couch with his brother looks at his bent wing and raises an eye brow, "hmmm are you sure you broke it?" He asks.

Phineas shook his head, "no actually I'm not sure I did or didn't, all I know is that it hurts extremely bad, it's bent in the wrong way and, I can't fly anymore." He replies.

Isabella walks downstairs to find Phineas and Ferb she smiles and walks over to Phineas, "whatcha doing?" She asks.

Phineas blushes and tries to hide his broken wing, "nothing! I was just waiting for you."

Isabella turns to Ferb and her expression changed to an annoyed look, "why are you here?" She asks.

Ferb snorts, "well excuse me! Am I not wanted here or something!? It's not my fault stupid here broke his wing!" He growls.

Isabella gasps, "wait you can see him?!" She asks

Ferb nodded, "of course I can! He's my brother!" he growls and points at his wing, "oh and I came here only because of that." He mumbles.

Isabella turns to Phineas seeing how he was hiding his wing she gets irritated and pulls Phineas's wing out from behind him to look at it, "Phineas! What did you do?!"

Phineas sighs and looks at his wing, "like I said yesterday, I'm not use to flying so I sorta crashed into my house." He explains.

Isabella snorts and grabs the back of his shirt and pulls him to her room, Ferb stood up and follows them.

Isabella drags Phineas into her room and she made him sit down on her bed, "stay there! I'm getting the first aid kit." She mumbles.

Ferb sat down by his brother and smiles, "why are you staying here with Isabella? Why not come back home with your real family?" Ferb asks.

Ferb's question made Isabella mad she grabs the first aid kit from her closet and stomps up to the bed she slams it down and looks through it.

Phineas was shocked by her reaction to the simple question he got asked, "ummm you ok Isabella?" He asks.

Isabella was just mumbling things to herself, "peachy!" She growls.

Ferb was confused, "Phineas, what is your answer?" He asks.

Phineas looks at Isabella then back at Ferb, "I-I can't...I'm Isabella's protector, and I can't leave her." He whispers.

Isabella eyes sparkle and she blushes and wraps his wing up in a bandage, "ok I don't want you using this wing until it's fully healed!" She stated.

Ferb was disappointed by his answer, "o-oh ok I'll be on my way, mom is probably wondering where I went." He whispers and left.

Phineas watches him go he sighs and turns to Isabella, "thanks Izzy." He whispers very upset but didn't show it.
