Chapter 4

3 years has passed and summer has just started, "hey Ferb!" A 17 year old boy yelled , "Ferb! Hey Ferb! FERB! Wake up!" He yells and throws his pillow at the green haired teenager. "Ferb! Get up! I know what were going to do today!"

Ferb groans and sat up, "Phineas why must you wake me up this early everyday?! It's summer! We sleep in!" He complains.

The redhead shook his head and threw another pillow at his brother, "no sleeping in! I have the whole day planned! Just you and me building more cool stuff like we have always done!" He replies.

Ferb growls and he threw the pillow back, "stop throwing pillows at me! Ugh! Don't you have some royal duties to do? You are the prince remember? Plus you're suppose to be getting married sooner or later. That means I won't be there to build things with you." He explains slipping on his green blue teeshirt.

Phineas snorts and folds his arms, "pfft! Yeah right! If I get married I'm going to ditch my 'wife' and go back to you. Plus I don't love anyone! You are suppose to get married to the one you LOVE! So I'm safe!"

"Phineas you're a prince the rules are different. Ever since mom and dad met and became king and queen they changed the rules. The prince will get married to a princess the parents pick and will have the wedding immediately!" Ferb corrected.

"Can we forget the stupid rules and just go outside and have fun?" Phineas asks.

Ferb sighs, "fine." He groans.

Phineas put on his dark grey shirt and he put the red coat with the white spotted edges on top of the short sleeve shirt. "How do I look?" He asks his stepbrother.

"Like a young king!" Ferb replies and walks downstairs.

Phineas quickly grabs his crown and puts it on before sprinted down after Ferb.

Linda waves at Phineas, "hi sweetie! Have fun outside! Just be careful around those pesky desperate girls. You're saving yourself for a princess remember that!" She yells.

The redhead just waves and walks out of the castle with Ferb.

"Ok here's what I'm thinking, we should build another tower on the castle for guests to rest in!" Phineas suggested and gave Ferb the blueprints of his idea.

"This will be fun! But why are we going over here?" He asks referring to the town.

"Well first of all I'm starving and I've heard of this awesome restaurant downtown so I wanted to go and eat there!" Phineas explains.

"Yeah I'm pretty hungry too. So I guess we can stop by, but for a take home meal. We don't want everyone freaking our over you." Ferb laughs.

"There it is!" Phineas shouts pointing at a building that had tables set up under the roof. "It looks fancy let's go!" The prince yells and ran into the building.

Isabella had been working in this restaurant for 2 years now and she has been getting use to it. Even though being a waiter was very hard and frustrating she was always happy. Today her hair was tied back in the bow Phineas gave her 3 years ago, she hasn't seen him since but she never lost hope. Isabella puts on her white waist apron over the uniform dress she always wore at work, it wasn't much but she didn't care. The young teenager walks to the kitchen and grabs the coffee pitcher she walks outside to the tables, "hey, I'm Isabella and I'll be your waiter." She whispers looking at the notebook getting ready to write down the orders.

"ISABELLA?! Is that really you?!" A familiar voice shouted.

Isabella looked over at the two teenagers sitting at the table her pupils shrink when she sees the cute redhead sitting there looking at her she gasps and drops the pitcher, "P-Phineas?! Oh no!" She shouts and ran back inside the building.

"Well that was awkward." Ferb laughs.

"Yes, yes it was." The prince replies.

Isabella sprinted into the bathroom and she slammed it shut locking it instantly she fell to the floor and leans against the door. Why now! Why here?! Phineas out of everyone I know! Phineas had to see me like this! I've waited 3 years to see him again! And when I see him again it's when I'm in a uniform! This is so embarrassing! I've been hopelessly in love with that boy for 3 years now and when I finally see him it has to be the worst time! I look ridiculous as a waiter! But Phineas he looks so hot! He's changed so much, his hair is longer and it's curled at the tip! He looks just like a gentlemen and a prince, why did this have to happen to me?! she thought and and buries her head into her knees, "ugh! Why! Why! Why! Why!?" She yells, no I have to do this! I'll just do my job and be their waiter but make no eye contact with Phineas. she thought and walks back out she opens the door and walks over to the prince, "I'm sorry for my actions, if you prefer a different waiter then I'll go get Ginger."

Phineas smirks and he sets his hand on his cheek, "nope! I like you being our waiter." He replies.

Isabella stiffens up, dang it! she thought and picks up the coffee pitcher.

"Here let me help you." The prince suggested and grabbed some towels and wiped up the coffee from the ground.

"Thank you your majesty, that was very kind of you." Isabella whispers and pulls out the notebook, "may I take your order?"

Phineas nodded and smiles, "I'd like pancakes to go. Oh and Ferb here just wants juice." He replies.

Isabella nodded slowly and turned around.

"Hey! Is that the bow I gave you when we were 14? You actually kept it!" Phineas pointed out.

Isabella blushes but quickly hides it and walks off.

"Ok something's up here, why is she ignoring me?" Phineas asks his stepbrother.

Ferb shrugs and kept reading his book, "remember what mom said stay away from the girls, especially Isabella! Isabella is poor, and you're still forbidden to meet with her."

Phineas wasn't listening only daydreaming, "she's so beautiful. Her hair is curled and it looks very pretty pulled back! I can't believe I forgot about her until now! I must of crushed her heart and that's why she won't talk to me, I promised her I'd never forget her and I did!" He yells frustrated.

Ferb rolls his eyes, "Phineas! Get over her! If Linda sees you near her she will throw her into jail! I know you like her and all but you got to forget about her."

"No Ferb! I'll never do that!" Phineas snapped.

Isabella came back with a box she handed Phineas the box and gave Ferb his juice, "sorry about the delay." She apologized.

"Don't apologize, it wasn't long at all." Phineas replies.

Ferb finished his drink and he stood up, "come on Romeo we got to go." Ferb stated and grabs Phineas's wrist and dragged him.

Phineas glances at Isabella then back at Ferb rage filled him and he pulled away from Ferb and ran up to Isabella, "Isabella, please stop." He whispers and makes her face him, "Izzy it's me! D-Don't you remember me?" He asks.

Isabella couldn't hold it in any longer tears filled her eyes and she hugged him, "of course I remember you! I've missed you Phineas! It's been so hard to live without you!" She cries into his chest.

Phineas smiles and he hugs her back, "I've missed you too. Every night I dreamed about you and every day I thought about you. But after a year I started to forget...I'm sorry I forgot. If I remembered I would of snuck out to see you again." He apologized.

Isabella pulls away and she looks into those deep blue eyes of his, "oh Phineas, I forgive you. Just promise me you won't forget ever again." She begged.

"I promise." He promises and scratches the back of his head nervously, "umm Izzy, I-I know the queen forbid us from meeting or talking to each other but I was wondering if you would like to meet me every day again. I'm 17 and I can leave the castle when ever I want now so don't worry about me sneaking out anymore." He asks.

"YES! Oh..I mean, yeah sure whatever" she giggles and ran inside.

Phineas turns around to see Ferb glaring at him, "what?"

"ARE YOU CRAZY?! MOM WILL BE PISSED IF SHE FINDS OUT ABOUT THIS!" He screams.

"I-I know but Isabella is my only true friend and I can't let mom break our friendship apart." He replies and walks back to the castle.

Isabella finished work after an hour she walks out of the restaurant and looks at the castle she could see Phineas and Ferb building something up there. I see Phineas is still an inventor, he's very smart and he should be an inventor when he's older instead of a king. she thought and went home, she took off her apron and uniform setting them on the table she grabbed her regular clothes and places them on her bed she took out the pink bow that was holding her hair back out so her black hair fell down on her shoulders. Isabella looks at her clothes on her bed and she sighs. "This is crazy. I don't know why I'm doing this, probably because I love him. Ugh! I can't believe I still love that boy after 3 years." She groans and put on the purple short sleeve shirt, it had pretty black swirly designs on the sleeves. The young teenager sat down and put on the black skirt, "much better." She giggles and brushes her hair before tying her hair back into a ponytail with the bow Phineas gave her.

Phineas finishes the new tower and he slid down the roof he jumped off and did a front flip and he landed on his feet throwing his arms in the air, "yeah! Did you see that Ferb? I totally just landed that!" He bragged.

Ferb rolls his eyes and took the stairs down the tower he opens the door and walks over to his stepbrother and punches his shoulder, "you are stupid."

"Hey! It was faster!" He laughs.

"Ok so what you're saying is jumping off a castle tower was faster then taking the stairs?" Ferb growls.

"Exactly!" Phineas replies and walks away, "oh and Ferb I'm going to see Isabella, keep me covered and tell no one." He says and ran off.

Ferb rolls his eyes and walks back into the castle.

Phineas ran up to the restaurant to find Isabella sitting on the wood fence rail looking up at the clouds. His heart stopped when he sees Isabella. Holy cow, Isabella looks hot! I wonder if she is the same Izzy I fell for. he thought and slowly walks up to Isabella behind her he smirks and grabs her pulling her back into a hug, "hey princess!" He laughs.

Isabella gasps and she glares at Phineas, "don't scare me like that! I could of mistook you for a kidnapper." She giggles.

"Oh come on! I would never kidnap you, even if you are very pretty." The prince replies.

Isabella blushes and she looks away, "you think I'm pretty?"

"No I think you're hot!" Phineas corrected.

Isabella's mouth dropped her face turned bright red and she hides behind her hair, "I-I didn't think you thought of me like that."

The red head grabs her hand and pulls her to him, "Izzy I think you are the most gorgeous girl in the whole world! I would tell you what else I think but they aren't very innocent." He admits blushing slightly.

"Not innocent heh? Well I guess I'll find out later." She giggles and presses against him resting her head against his chest.

Phineas let her lay on him for a while until he realized everyone was staring at them by their faces he knew they were shocked. "Uhh..let's go somewhere more private." He suggested and walks to the meadow they use to meet at.

The Jewish girl ran after him she giggles and tackles him to the ground, "gotcha!" She laughs.

Phineas rolls over and stuck his tongue out at her.

Isabella laughs and got off of him she looks at the beautiful meadow she sighs happily and sat in the tall grass. "You know Phineas once we were separated I came here everyday to remember the times we were together." She admits.

The prince blushes and he sat down next to the teenager, "I wish I could of came here, but my mom locked me in the castle. I guess she locked me in so I would forget about you." He sighs.

Isabella turns to him and kisses his cheek, "but you didn't forget Phineas."

"What do you mean?"

"You remembered everything once I said my name, so deep down you never forgot." She explains.

Phineas smiles widely, "I forgot to ask how's your mom?"

"M-My mom?"

"Yes, how is she?"

"S-She uhh...d-died." Isabella stuttered.

"What?! No! I'm so sorry Isabella! This is my fault! I should of been there for you and your mom! I'm the prince I'm suppose to take care of my people! Especially your family!" Phineas groans and he pulls on his hair.

Tears ran down her cheeks, "Phineas she had a disease that we didn't have medicine for back then. Not even you could of saved her." Isabella whispers and turns to Phineas. "But before she died her last words were about you. She told me to never loose hope and that she wanted you to take care of me." She explains.

The young inventor turns to his friend and he smiles he uses his jacket to wipe her tears, "I would risk my life for you, I will protect you with all my heart." Phineas cooed.

Isabella narrows her eyes and she looks at the prince dreamily, "Gitchee Gitchee Goo." She whispers not even realizing she was day dreaming out loud.

"What was that Isabella?" The prince asks.

She instantly snapped out of it "Oh! I-I umm didn't say anything." She lied putting her hands behind her back.

"Oh ok." Phineas chuckles and pulls her close to him he wraps his arm around her and held her.

Isabella looks up at him she sighs lovingly and she lays her head against his arm, "Phineas."

"Yeah?"

"Are you married?"

"Heck no! I'm not marrying a princess! I want to marry you-r kind of people!" He caught him self.

"Thank goodness. I thought I was too late." She giggles.

"Nope, hey I have an idea!" Phineas shouts.

"What?" She asks.

"I want you to dress up like a princess and come with me to the castle, I'll lie to my parents and make them think you're an actual princess so they'll let you stay with me in the castle!" He explains.

Isabella face palms herself, "last time we did that your mom forbid us to even make eye contact."

"Yes but you were only 14 then! You've changed a lot since then! I mean look at you! They could easily fall for you being a princess." Phineas admits.

"Ugh fine! Give me a few minutes and I'll be back in a princess outfit." Isabella mumbles and walks off.

Phineas waits for Isabella to return he looks up at the clouds and tries to make creatures out of them.

"So how do I look?" Isabella asks walking up behind him.

Phineas turns around, "I bet you look a-a-a-a..." He stuttered his mouth was wide open his whole face was bright red.

Isabella giggles and she looks at the short blue sparkly dress she was wearing. "Is it too immodest?"

"No way! You look so good I'm drooling." Phineas admits not taking his eyes off of her.

"Wow really? Thanks Phin!" She giggles and puts a silver tiara on her head. "Let's go."

Phineas snaps out of his cute trance and he follows her. Did she just call me Phin?! Phin...I like it. Ugh! why can't she be a real princess?! I would propose to her right now if she was one. She doesn't even realize how much I love her. he thought and looks at Isabella.

Phineas gets to the castle and he makes the guards let them in, "ok Isabella I'll let you stay in the guest tower we just made."

"Ok. But remember I need to change my name." She reminded.

"You can be Jasmine or Sophia." Phineas suggested.

"I like Jasmine." Isabella admitted and waited for the queen and king.

Once his parents came down Isabella bowed respectfully, "mom, dad I want you to meet my friend, Princess Jasmine."

Queen Linda eyes lit up, "you're a princess?! Perfect! You can marry my son!"

"Wait what?!" Isabella gasps and she instantly stood up straight, "you're kidding right?"

"No we've been looking for a perfect pretty princess like you for many years now and we finally found the one! You Jasmine will be Phineas's wife! Phineas go show her to her room right now!" Linda ordered.

"Ok I'm so confused." Phineas admits and walks up the stairs escorting Isabella.

Isabella was smiling so widely it was scary looking. She was holding back her screams and squeals of joy. I'm going to marry Phineas! I'm going to marry Phineas! ILL BE AN ACTUAL PRINCESS! she thought excitedly.

Phineas took her to her room and he opened the door, "here is the guests room. You will stay here until my mom changes her mind and I'm sure she will." He groans annoyed.

Isabella walks into the room and she looks around, "wow! It's so big!" She giggles.

The red head nodded slowly, "well I guess I should get going now, I'll see you in the morning Izzy."

"Phineas wait." She whispers looks at the floor.

"What is it Isab-" Phineas was cut off by Isabella running over to him she wrapped her arms around his neck and smashed her lips against his.

Phineas's arms flew up and he backed up against the wall. His eyes were as large as a plate and he couldn't stop blushing.

Isabella grabbed him tighter refusing to pull away this was the best moment of her life. I've waited so long to do this! I'm not letting this moment end just yet. she thought and kisses him rougher.

Isabella finally pulled away and she quickly turned away from the prince so he didn't have to see her expression.

The prince was standing there still frozen and love struck he opens his mouth to say something but before you knew it he faints.

Isabella hears him hit the ground she rolls her eyes, "you've got to be kidding me." She groans. Maybe I should of warned him before I decided to kiss him like that. she thought.
