{Isabella}

I could've sworn that was Adyson back there. And Johnny, too.

The tacky clothes threw me off but Adyson was not one to lie. And just looking at her cold eyes brought me to shivers.

"Hey, Izzy! Want to come over? Mom's making tacos!" Phineas asked.
"Your mom's tacos? Always!" I smiled and skipped over to him.

We walked to his car, even though I knew it was Ferb's, and got in.

We laughed when he turned on the radio and the Ducky Momo theme song  came on.

Ducky mo, ducky momo

Ducky mo, ducky momo

Ducky mo, ducky momo

He's your very friend

Whos the happy time toy-toy

For every girl and boy-boy

Who's the fuzzy enjoyment

Make fun with Ducky momo

Ducky mo, ducky momo

He's your very best friend!

Phineas and I were almost dying of laughter, even long after than ended and then "King for a Day" came on.

"Ducky Mo! Ducky Momo!" Phineas sang.
"He's your very best friend!" I sang back.

"Ahem."

We turned towards the voice and saw a very agitated Ferb in the driveway. Phineas gulped and I giggled softly figuring he didn't ask permission.

Ferb held out his hand and Phineas laid the keys into his palm. Ferb pushed us out and then rushed out of the driveway.

"Uh...ok so I didn't ask..." Phineas mumbled, blushing.
I laughed and ruffled his hair. "Come on! Last one inside is a rotten ducky momo!"

I pushed past him and raced into the house, beating him by a few seconds.

"Izzy! Not fair!" Phineas exclaimed, taking a seat next to me.
"Whatever, I won." I giggled.

"Hello, Isabella! It's nice to see you!" Mrs. Linda said.

She always wanted me to just call her Linda but it seemed impolite without a title.

"Hey, Mrs. Linda! Phineas said you're making tacos!" I said.
"Of course. Nothing but the best for my sons' best friend." She smiled.

I beamed, not even caring that I was getting friendzoned by my crush's mom. I really loved her tacos. Almost like my mamá's.

"Oh, yes. Phineas, no driving for a week." She told her son.
"But mom!" He said.
"No buts, mister! Left us worried sick! And Ferb's girlfriend has been waiting for an hour for him to come pick her up." She stopped him.
"Nessa's coming over?" He asked.
"Vanessa?" I asked. I liked her.
"Yes. Now do you want to wait for them or eat now?" She asked us.

I was hungry but I also wanted to wait for them.

"Wait." I said.
"Eat." Phineas said at the same time as me.
"Wrong answer, Phineas sweetie, you pig. We're waiting." Mrs. Linda laughed.

I laughed with her as Phineas blushed, pouting.

Suddenly, my phone vibrated in my pocket and I pulled it out. I stopped breathing for a second when I read the name.

Adyson Sweetwater

Please no. Not now.

Phineas was staring at me, concerned, but I didn't want him to worry and let myself relax.

I excused myself and walked out to the backyard.

"Hello?" I answered.
"Isabella." She said.
"Um, yes?" I refused to let myself go weak and instead, stared at the old oak tree.
"I was wondering if we could get together tomorrow and have a talk. There's an offer I want to make and I know you can't refuse it." She explained.
"You...you want to make a deal?" I asked.
"Yes." She replied.
I gulped. "I, uh, I'm doing something with Phineas tomorrow." I lied.
"Cancelled. You don't have a choice." She said and then I heard the harsh beep as she hung up.

I tucked my phone back into my  pocket and smelled the fresh air. I almost choked on that nice 'fresh air' when Phineas snuck up on me.

"Who was that?" He asked.
"Oh, uh, it was Ginger. She just wanted to ask me something." I said

I struggled not to tuck my hair behind my hair. I knew Phineas knew that was what I did when I was nervous and lied.

Phineas looked suspicious but luckily, he kept quiet. "Ok, well, Vanessa is here. Wanna go in?"
"Sure!" I grinned and walked inside.

I spotted the brunette woman sitting at the counter beside my other best friend and I beamed. Vanessa was so cool. Sometimes, I wanted to be her.

"Hey, Isabella." She smiled.
"Hey, Vanessa!" I exclaimed, sitting next to her.
"You know, I've been wondering which one of my sons would be the first to give me a grand-child now that Candace has given me my first." Mrs. Linda smirked slyly.

Ferb and I blushed. Phineas tried to say something but nothing sensible was coming out. Vanessa was just laughing.

"Isabella, dear, would you mind taking a few to Vivian? Lord knows Luis cannot cook." Mrs. Linda laughed.
"S-Sure, Mrs. Linda." I said and took a container from her.
"Well, I hope you enjoyed dinner but I know your mother worries extremely about you. Phineas, be a dear and walk her over." She said to her son.

Phineas hopped off his seat and swallowed the last of his taco meat. I followed him as we exited his house.

We were quiet as we walked across the street. When we arrived at my house, he still didn't say anything.

"Good night, Phineas." I whispered.

I leaned in to kiss his cheek. I didn't feel the usual warmth. His cheek was cold and his eyes were sad.

I sighed internally and turned to leave. He grabbed my hand but didn't look at me. I waited to hear what he wanted to say.

Finally, he whispered, "I wish you'd tell me things. I care about you so much. I hope you know that."

Then he left.

I stared after him. He didn't look back. Even when he disappeared into his house, I still stared after him, his words echoing in my head like a loop.

"Isa? You're home! Come inside, mija!" Mamá opened the door and pulled me inside.

I didn't say much to her and Papá but it was fine with them. I went up to my old room and didn't even flinch at the extreme pink.

As I went to bed and my eyes couldn't stay open anymore, I let hope crawl it's vicious way into my heart and fill me with a feeling that I hadn't felt in years.

Hey sorry these past few have been bits of fillers but still sorta important. I was going to add more to this but I'm tired lol anyways I promise that I'll try to add the real plot soon.
