Hi guys! Were you on edge after last time? I'm still not loving this chapter, but whatever. Please review and tell me why it is good/bad.

Also, just saw Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars. I almost feel like crying. Yeah, it was that good. But, only if you've actually seen the movie; this whole episode will probably go over kids heads. But, totally really good anyway. I promise no spoilers. Just funny background characters, some interesting-ly funny observations on the movie, AU casting I wouldn't have guessed (see MY Twelve Dancing Princesses, it's literally what they did!), and Dan and Swampy sneak themselves in again. But there are definitely a couple little things I wish happened, and one BIG thing I wish didn't. Well, they told me right off the bat, this was in no way canon. Yeah, they actually said that. I had to explain what "canon" meant to my little sister. Anyway... PM if you want to talk nerdy to me.

I awoke to sunlight shining through my window, along with the honks of Danville traffic. I ran my hands through my messy hair. Suddenly, I heard a soft little sigh, and I looked to my side. Isabella. She was sleeping soundly, her beautiful hair surrounding her. The blanket had sunken low enough to see her creamy skin, but it was still high enough that it covered her breasts and below.

I sighed. She's mine, I thought to myself. She's mine, because I'll never let anyone else have her. It was wicked and improper, but I let my hands slide down her bare body. I leaned forward, and left a very prominent mark on her neck. My hands were moving up to her chest, when she suddenly slapped them down onto her skin.

"Whatcha' doin'?" She purred sexily. I didn't answer, just smiled. She smiled wickedly too. "What? No 'good morning'?"

"Good morning." I said gently.

"We can shower, and then you can make me breakfast and-"

That incessantly chatty girl. I kissed her. Her arms wrapped around my neck, as I sucked on her lower lip and let her tongue in. I felt her fingers on my chest, pulling me closer to her and tracing my skin. It was extremely heated, especially under the covers, and I felt both our hearts racing. When Isabella took one leg and wrapped it around my waist, I knew exactly where this was going. I finally had my Isabella back.

I broke the kiss and she grumbled in protest. "Bella…" I panted. "Bella, I lov…"

"Ferb! Hey Ferb!" Phineas called. I muttered angrily to myself. Why now? We'd have to stop and she'd have to hide.

"Ferb!" The door banged open. "What the hell?"

Phineas was standing right there. It was like in that one second, time stopped and went on forever. But, it eventually unfroze. And we all started screaming. I was so totally taken aback by Phineas' sudden arrival; there was no other reaction. Isabella was shrieking at the top of her lungs in a high voice, while diving under the blanket to cover her bare body. Phineas was going back and forth from trying to be polite and give us privacy, to staring at us, trying to verify if this was real life.

"What the hell?" He repeated. Phineas didn't swear often. I could tell he wasn't mad; he was so genuinely surprised that it was the first thing that came to mind.

I, on the other hand, was angry. "GET OUT!" I yelled, and he finally stopped his awkward peek-a-boo behavior and dashed out of the room.

Isabella frantically fanned herself. "I'm going to faint." She cried softly. "I really think I'm going to faint!"

I grabbed her hands. I rapidly tried to soothe her. "It's okay, love, it's not the end of the world, relax, it's fine." She still looked horrified. "I'm going to talk to him." I stood up and pulled on a pair of boxers. She was shaking. I'm going to kill him.

I stormed out of my room. Phineas was pacing out there, hand on his forehead, as if he was puzzling over something. "What is wrong with you?" I asked angrily.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? What did I just see?" He questioned.

I jumped down his throat at that. "Did you see anything?" If he did… I'm going to punch him in the nose.

"What?" He said, confused.

I sighed in frustration. "Did you SEE anything?" I said, adding the extra emphasis.

"What… no. No! I saw no part of Isabe… of my ex-girl… of our frien… of HER." Every term he tried to use to describe Isabella made him uncomfortable.

"Good." I sighed.

"Okay, what is going on? No, actually I saw what is going on. You and Isabella were in your room… kissing… while naked." I winced as he looked at me. "You can't deny it, Ferb. You have her fingernail indents all over you. So please, explain."

I had nothing left up my sleeves. "Isabella and I are friends with benefits. Surprise?"

His face twisted up. It was a mixture of some anger, but mostly confusion. "Why didn't you tell me? You don't tell me anything anymore!" He said angrily.

"Phineas, this was important for us to keep secret." I said. "And we tried. We really tried. But, somehow, everybody, including you, found out."

"So everybody except me knew?" He asked dryly.

I winced again. "Yes, but it was like… Isabella still liked you then."

"Well, does she still like me now?"

"No."

"Then, why haven't you told me?" He asked loudly.

"This is a recent thing. We totally stopped after I started dating Vanessa."

"And now you're not… ohhh." He said.

"She never cheated on you or anything." I didn't add that I had cheated on Vanessa.

I think we were both cooling down. We sat down next to each other in the kitchen. "So, is this a thing? Do you two instantly restart this after failed relationships?" I shrugged. I wanted to be more than friends or friends-with-benefits with her, but I'm not right now. "How many times have you two… sorry, this is getting weird."

"A lot." I answered. "It happens a lot." I suppose there was some sort of male bravado in there, showing that instead of chasing after an engaged woman, I had a beautiful girl at my beck and call.

"Okay, here's my biggest question: why Isabella? I know she's pretty, but she's practically our sister. Even when we were going out, she was still more of my best friend than my girlfriend." Phineas asked.

I smiled to myself. "You don't get it. That's the best part. She's my best friend. We already know each other inside and out, so it was easy to bare our bodies to each other. And our hearts."

"Oh, Ferb…" I turned my head and Phineas was actually… chuckling. "You're in love with her, aren't you? Isn't that the one rule you aren't supposed to break?"

I stiffened up. "Actually, we had more rules."

"Ok." Phineas said, ignoring me. "How long have you been in love with Isabella?"

"I… I have no idea. If you asked thirteen-year-old Ferb if he liked her, he'd honestly say no. And so would fifteen-year-old Ferb, eighteen-year-old Ferb, and so on. I don't ever remember falling for her. My view of her has never even changed. I just know I realized one day that I love her. It's as simple as that."

"Maybe you should go get her then." Phineas smiled. "And tell her I'm not mad, or grossed out, or jealous, or whatever." Phineas seemed to realize the situation was still awkward, and he went into his own room.

I slowly re-entered my own room. Isabella, now fully dressed and struggling to get her high heels back on, flashed her eyes up to me. "What are you doing?" I asked her, dumbfounded.

"Leaving." She said gloomily. "I can't believe this. I only live across the hall, and this is going to be my longest, most painful, walk of shame ever."

"I explained everything to him." I said, trying to soothe her embarrassment.

She ignored me. "I can't believe how much I've embarrassed myself recently. The skimpy clothes… the flat-out drunkenness… plain stupidity! Plus, Phineas, PHINEAS, just caught us making out! I should be thankful it was just that! Not to mention all my friends probably think I'm a slut! 'Oh, she's finished with Phineas, now's she moved on to Ferb.' Gah!"

Isabella collapsed back onto the bed. I sighed and offered her my hand. She took it and I hoisted her back up.

"Thank you." She said. "See, you're always there for me. You're such a good friend." Friend. Ouch. I could be her friend, but I could just as easily be more. "You said we needed to talk. So…"

"I want to be friends-with-benefits again." It sounded so strange once it left my mouth. But, truthfully, I wanted to go back to that indefinable relationship we had after we had first made the deal, but before we broke it off. The relationship that had made me realize I love her in the first place. As of right now, I didn't want labels. I love her, and I think she knows it. But we don't need a label.

"Okay." She said calmly. "I do too." When I looked into her eyes, I saw she felt the same way.

I took her hand and led her to the door. "Why were you happy last night?" I asked quietly, smiling to myself.

"Because of you." She answered.
