Not Him




Other Isabella and I walked inside to see the gang glaring at us.

"What?" We asked.
"We saw them run away and we heard Isabella crying! What was that?" Candace asked.
"Phineas?" Ferb asked. He was looking at us and pointing at our intertwined hands.
"Phineas, please tell me that's our Isabella." Candace said as everyone's eyes grew big.
"No, I'm from here. Your Phineas is my boyfriend." Other Isabella stated.

Everyone gasped in surprise. Candace and for some reason, Baljeet, fainted. Ferb fell back in shock.

"What?" We asked again.

"Isabella...from here...is your girlfriend?!" Stacey exclaimed, filling in for Candace.
"Why, Phineas?" Jeremy asked, also filling in while tending to Candace.
"I...guess this Isabella just has more in common with me..." I shrugged.
"Dinner bell, they are the same!" Buford exclaimed, taking the chance to give Baljeet a wedgie.
"I always knew Isabella had a thing for you. I mean, everyone knew." Vanessa said.
"Well apparently I didn't." I said.
"It was so obvious!" They exclaimed.

"Guys...it's ok. Whatever." Isabella said as she came in through the door.

The other me had his arm around her waist and was holding her close.

"Phin, are you ok?" Other Candace asked.

The Others weren't speaking much in this conversation although they were clearly surprised.

"Yea, sis." Other me muttered. Apparently he went by Phin.
"I see you two have become...a couple too." Other Candace noticed. "Although I always thought it would've been you and..." Her voice trailed of as she avoided Other Isabella's look.

There was an awkward silence as we just stared at each other. Other Isabella and I stared at other me and Izzy and vice versa. The rest of them just stared at us.

Isabella looked hurt while Phin looked torn. I glanced at Other Isabella-who I decided will be Izzy- and she wasn't showing any emotion at all. Her face was blank as she stared at his arm around Isabella's waist.

"You good, soldier?" Izzy whispered.
"Hurt but ok. You?" I whispered back.
"Same." She said, smiling sadly.
"Y-You're not really into me, are you?" I asked.
"I'm as into you as I am into Doofenshmirtz." She rolled her eyes and I smirked.

I didn't know who Doofenshmirtz was but seeing her sarcastic smile made me think of Isabella before I had to stupidly make such a big deal of that kiss. But...it looks like Isabella didn't mind.

"So, why're we pretending to be a couple?" I asked.
"I wanted to see if Phin would finally tell me how he feels but...I guess not..." She said, looking down.
"I-I'm sure he will." I said.
"Yea, right. He's got cute little Bella. Why would he want a tough soldier like me?" She sighed.

I put my hand on her shoulder and stared at her seriously.

"If you're anything like my Isabella, then I'm sure you have the same great qualities." I told her.
"You think so?" She asked, looking at Isabella.
"I know so." I said, fiercely.
"Thanks..." She smiled.

She went over to her sleeping bag and sat down. Phin was sitting on mine next to Isabella so I just sat on his. Everyone was still staring at us. Luckily, Candace chose that exact moment to wake up.

"Oh my gosh. Jeremy? Stacey? Is that you? I just had the weirdest dream where I was in this weird world where Phineas and Isabella didnt get together." She said, dizzy and spinning her head.
"Uh, Candace...?" Jeremy said and pointed to us.

Candace saw us and looked like she was about to faint again. Ferb also woke up, less noisily than Candace, and stared at us, blinking his eyes hard until Vanessa had to get him to stop.

"Well, it's getting late so we'll just be heading out." Other Candace said and Other Jeremy got up with her. "Care to join us, Phin? Soldier?" She asked them.
"I...I'm gonna stay here tonight." Phin said, looking at Isabella. She blushed and turned away.
"I'm sleeping here tonight too, Sir." Izzy said, quickly, grabbing my hand.

She squeezed it tightly. I could see her resisting not to look at Phin. I looked for her and saw he wasn't even looking our way.

"Izzy, are you alright?" I heard Phin ask Isabella.

Izzy?! That was the name I used for her! Ok, fine, I was using that name to refer to the Other Isabella but I do not appreciate anyone else using it.

Again, Isabella didn't mind or even notice that he'd called her Izzy and she just nodded.

"I'm fine, Phin." She said.

Phin?! I thought I was the only one she called that name?! Ok wait. Get it together, Flynn-Fletcher. You're calling him that too. So whatever. I don't care, Isabella...

I noticed the Other Ferb glanced worriedly at Ferb and they exchanged looks.

"Something the matter, Ferb?" I asked. He shook his head.

I looked over at Isabella and and my heart dropped. Isabella had her head on his shoulder and her eyes were closed while he smiled a stupid smile at her. Like there was no one else in the world but her.

"Um h-hey, are..are you tired?" I asked Izzy. "I-I don't mind if you lay your head on my shoulder."
"Who do you think I am? Why would I want to-" I cut her off and pointed subtly at them.

Her eyes widened and she immediately looked at me. She cringed as she tried to lay her head on my shoulder.

"You can hold my hand but you can't do this?" I asked, smiling.
"Shut up." She muttered. "I don't show emotion. I'm a soldier."
"But your war is over, right? Doofenmits-"
"Doofenshmirtz."
"Doofenshmirtz is in jail, right? There's nothing to fight."
"Get this! There is always something to fight!" She hissed.
"Shh. Ok fine. Just here." I calmed her down and took her hand.

I felt her loosen up and she sighed.

"What are we doing? I thought we were going to get over them...but..."
"We can't, can we?" I said and she nodded.
"It hurts, Phineas. It hurts. I don't like them together." She cried.
"It's ok. W-We'll get them back. Don't worry." I comforted her.

This time, I felt someone staring at us and I saw Phin and Isabella turn away. I saw that sneaky glance.

Isabella, just wait. I'll get you back and I'll show you how much I love you...
