I hope everybody's ready for what's about to happen... because it probably isn't what you think.
I wish I could wake up to something natural for once in my life. Birds gently chirping or the sun's rays landing on my face. Instead, I grew up with Dad's bizarre singing to himself or Phineas' preset alarm clock, and now, I'm in the heart of the city. So it's far more likely to awake because of traffic or noisy neighbors.
The cars woke me up today. They were especially noisy. An accident or something must have occurred. I groggily opened my eyes. I was too tired to get up. Thankfully, today was Sunday. I would be able to rest for a little while before Phineas decided to do anything today. I yawned and turned to the other side of my bed.
"Good morning."
I fell out of my bed. I was so surprised I fell onto the ground, in a tangled mess in my blanket. If I were anybody else, I would've screamed.
"Sorry, did I scare you?" Isabella asked sweetly.
I scrambled to get myself up and untangled. "What are you doing here?" I hissed.
Isabella blushed a little. I looked her over. Why was she here? Why was she wearing my shirt? Where was Phineas? Did she stay here all night? What was she doing here?
Isabella was refusing to look at me again. She finally faced me. I frantically gestured to her outfit. Isabella glanced down at it. "Oh, right, your shirt. Well, you went to sleep, and the dress…" I glanced over at her pink dress. "I can't really put it on by myself." Then how did she wear it last night? "And I was really sleepy, and the bed was right there and… I'm really sorry Ferb! This will never happen again!"
"I can't believe you!" I declared. "You slept over? Do you want Phineas to find out? I mean, what's the matter with you? Are you in love with me?"
"What?" Isabella said.
My eyes opened wide. I didn't mean to say that. I swear I didn't. I was super annoyed about what she did. And that last question happened to correspond to my thoughts on why she did it. Thoughts that were totally obscure and inaccurate. I awkwardly ran my hands through my hair. "Forget it." I muttered.
"No." said Isabella haughtily. "No, I'm not."
Now I couldn't look at her. I just couldn't. Meanwhile, she was angry. She grabbed her shoes and dress and her bra, I think. Then, she opened the door and stormed out. I guess Phineas wasn't there. I didn't hear anything. I quickly followed, but she had already left the apartment. God, the girl would rather her love discover her secret than walk a foot away to her house at night, but she's perfectly fine with strolling out there wearing nothing but my shirt in the morning. Women.
I figured I might as well change into my clothes and get ready for the day. Everything hurt a little, especially my back. I tried to look at it in the mirror. Damn, oh no, Isabella! She had clawed up my back like an animal. Great. It really stung, but I decided to ignore it.
I ate some cereal for breakfast, before I went looking for Phineas. As soon as I finished chewing, the door opened and he came in, along with Buford and Baljeet. I gave them both smiles. I haven't gotten to spend much "guy time" with anybody recently.
"Hey, you're up!" Phineas said brightly. "I can't believe you slept so late. When I got home last night, I think you were already asleep." I gulped. "Then again, I came pretty late. I was hanging with Byoof and Jeet at his place."
"Hey man!" Buford said.
"So what are we doing today, Phineas and Ferb?" asked Baljeet.
"Why don't I ever get to pick?" whined Buford.
"Ok, Buford, you can pick today." Said Phineas.
"I know, I'll take all you sissies down to the gym. You need the training." Said Buford.
"No thank you, Buford." Complained Baljeet.
"Come on! Don't you want some actual muscles to impress your little girlfriend?" Buford questioned.
Baljeet glanced down at his arms, which could be compared to chicken bones. "Alright." He said begrudgingly. "Phineas and Ferb?"
"That's sounds fun, right Ferb?" Phineas said. I nodded complacently.
After getting to the gym, I can't say we had a lousy time. I quite enjoyed hanging out with the guys. We played basketball and Buford coerced us into doing the things he loves, like lifting weights. Between the activities and the musky air of the workout rooms, we actually got sweaty. It was a good thing we brought a change of clothes. We were changing in the men's locker room. Luckily, there weren't many, in fact, almost zero, other sweaty men in there besides us.
"I feel mighty enough to climb another mountain!" Baljeet said boldly, as we changed.
"You see, you wimps, you don't HAVE to be as pathetic as you seem." Buford said.
"Buford, be nice." Said Phineas.
I turned my back towards them, but I smiled. I like it when we just hang out. It's pressure free. I listened to their playful banter as I changed. They kept babbling; I wasn't really listening. I had just taken off my shirt, when I heard Buford whistle, like he was impressed with something.
"Damn Ferb, who have you been riding?" He said.
Shit. SHIT SHIT SHIT! I pulled my new shirt on and tried to face the guys without turning red, like nothing had happened. All three of them were staring at me; Baljeet looked surprised, Buford looked gleeful, and Phineas looked confused.
"I… I'm not sure what you're talking about, Buford." I stammered.
"Ha, don't even try it!" Buford pulled my shirt up again. "I don't think these are 'self-inflicted'." He poked one of the scratches and I let out a little hiss of pain.
Phineas stared at me. "Ferb?" He asked. He sounded so hurt. Oh my god, I had betrayed him. What was wrong with me?
Buford clapped his hands together like he had just won a million dollars. "Ferb's been a bad boy, hasn't he? Finally, one of you has grown a spine. So, who'd you bang?"
"You didn't feel like this was worth telling us, Ferb?" Phineas asked sadly.
"Does this mean your relationship is better than mine?" Baljeet asked.
"Let me guess. Was it that girl you made friends with? Wynne? Or that one you've been chasing? Vanessa? Was it someone we don't even know? OR was it someone we DO know? Was it Gretchen? Did you hump Gretchen?" Buford cried.
"Quit being vulgar Buford." Said Baljeet.
"I know, it was Ginger!"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Baljeet yelled as he flew at Buford.
Buford started running from his angry friend. "And you slept with Ginger just to mess with Baljeet!"
"You should have told me!" declared Phineas. "I tell you everything!"
"Will all three of you just shut up already!" I shouted. The guys froze in their positions. Thank goodness, they were giving me a migraine.
"Who did you sleep with?" They all said together.
I scratched my head. Now, what was I going to say? I couldn't just lie. "Alright, before you say anything, I DON'T have a girlfriend, and I did not have sex with ANY of the girls Buford listed." I ran my hands through my hair. "I sort of, set up a deal, with one of my friends."
"Not Ginger?" Baljeet timidly asked.
I shook my head. "One of my SINGLE friends."
"Wait, so you have a fuck buddy?" Buford asked in surprise. I nodded slowly. He whistled again.
I turned to Phineas. "And that's why I've been acting strange and secretive recently. I didn't like hiding anything from you, but she really wanted it to be secret. She's probably going to kill me for even telling you guys."
"Why would she?" Phineas piped up. I raised an eyebrow up at him. "We know you have a friend with benefits now. But we don't know anything about her. And we aren't going to mess with you two."
I stared at him in surprise. This isn't really how I thought he'd react. I expected disgust and disappointment.
Phineas seemed to notice my surprise. "Look, bro, I tried to find a way to help you with your girl troubles, but obviously, you're handling it on your own. I'm just glad you told us. And now, you can even tell me if you want me out of the house or anything like that." So telling Phineas might actually reduce my stress. I nodded slowly.
"Cool, let's go home." Said Phineas.
"Hey, do we know her at all?" Baljeet asked as we left.
I was going to shake my head no, but I stayed quiet. They seemed to take it as a no anyway.
"Can you hook me and Phineas up too?" Buford asked. We responded by hitting him.
The guys took the news amazingly well. The only problem was… would Isabella?
BUSTED! Well, by the guys. There's still a lot more story to tell. How's Isabella gonna react to the guys finding out? Will the guys learn Ferb's hooking up with Izzy? Review!
