Summary: "I'm sorry I need to leave, but I think that we both need time, so I'm leaving for the city where I can forget it all." Only one problem, what city is that? And Phineas has to find her, or lose her forever.

A/N: Hey all, new plan on writing stories. Once a week, I'm going to pick a story at random using my iPod. Then I write a chapter and post it as a way to get these stories back on the road. :)

Also, I just had a thought. In real life: I have a friend who likes us to call her Isabella. Her real name is Christine. I had no idea about the latter until recently... MASSIVE CONFUSION! What the heck happened here?

Also, sorry for not updating this in a while. I got sick just as I steeled my resolve to try to work more on my stories.

I do not own Phineas and Ferb... All © goes to Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh.

Chapter 8: Orphanage Oh Orphanage

Christine followed the man down road and into a car the man said was his. He drove steadily through Tel-Aviv, dodging most of the midday traffic before stopping at an old looking building on the far side of the city in what appeared to be a Synagogue, only it was built for people to live in.

Without saying a word, Christine knew that this was her destination. An orphanage. She had assumed that she would be put in there sooner or later, just not after so long.

The man waved her forward as he walked up the front steps where he was greeted by a woman.

"Hello," the woman said. "Welcome to the orphanage. Long time no see. How are you?"

"I'm fine, thank you," the man replied. "But, there is this girl I found in the park, she has no parents. So I brought her here." It was then that the woman looked past the man's shoulder and saw Christine standing there, looking on at their conversation interestedly without looking like she was listening in on the conversation.

"Hello young one, what is your name?" The woman asked.

"My name is Christine ma'am," Christine replied. "Is this where I'm going to be staying from now on?"

"Yes Christine, it is. You will have tons of friends here, who are all in the same situation as you. So no need to feel left out. Thanks for bringing her Sam, I'll make sure that she gets taken cared of. And if any luck is with her, she'll have a loving family to be with forever," the woman said before pushing Christine up the steps and through the doors into who knew what? But then again, it is an orphanage. What's the worse that it could be?

Phineas' train pulled out of Shanghai quickly and much better than the one he took into Shanghai where it kept breaking down. The train picked up speed as the countryside flew by. Phineas stared out the window as he watched farmers working in the rice paddies, trying to grow enough food for themselves as well as meeting government mandates.

After watching this boring scene go by for almost half an hour, Phineas pulled out his sketchbook and a picture of Isabella. "Isabella. Now if only you knew just how silly you sound when you say that I don't value you more than anything..." Phineas smiled as he picked up his pencil and began tracing the photo that he had brought along. Phineas stopped soon afterwards. Something didn't feel right to him. Why would Isabella just put her memories in a small box. Phineas picked up the box that had a copy of her memories in it and just stared at it. "You know, if this wasn't so terrifying, I might actually enjoy being on this trip."

Phineas put the box away and continued tracing the picture of Isabella. Hoping she was still in Lhasi. But of course. She wasn't.

As always:
