Forgot to add an intro so here it is!! These new ships are my nemesis but also kinda digging the Phinema while it lasted haha!! We've experience a LOT of stuff through this book, but still no fights... maybe in this one? We're takin' care of things in this chapter though! hehe hope you enjoy!
The text message that popped up on Emma's phone surprised her over anything else. It was from Phineas. Well, Phineas' number.
P - "Ya know, Em, we've known each other for just a few days but I can't help but think you're the one for me. ;)"
She was taken aback at first, but then realized it was probably his lovestruck side kicking in. She sighed and threw her phone down on the bed, laying back and sprawling her arms and legs to the sides, closing her eyes and breathing. 'When's this living nightmare going to end?' she thought, pulling her knees into her chest and rolling onto her side.
She remembered the look in his eyes when he kissed her as his real self, and she couldn't help but find it endearing, but then remembered not only Ferb, but her friendship with Isabella. She knew what she had to do, and she knew who she was shooting for.
With this conclusion, she finally found enough peace to fall asleep on the covers.

At the Flynn-Fletcher house, things weren't going by so smoothly. Phineas was in his 'pink' stage, and Ferb was trying very hard not to beat him up.
"You think Emma likes you of all people? She's way out of your league, bro! Give up, she's mine!" Phineas growled.
Ferb inhaled deeply, trying to contain himself, but then Phineas pushed him over the edge.
"Her lipgloss tastes like strawberries, too... can't get enough of it." he smirked, and Ferb's face turned as red as a fire engine.
"OH, THAT'S IT, JERK!" he yelled, running into Phineas and pushing him against the wall. "Talk about her in that way one more time and you're not gonna live to see another kiss." he hissed.
Phineas snapped out of it. "Ferb? What are you doing?!" he asked, his eyes widening in fear.
Ferb backed away. "Your... lovestruck self... was being idiotic." he cleared his throat.
Phineas saw the sadness in his brother's eyes. "About what?"
"Em-" he started, but then remembered he had to play along. "Isabella."
"He was talking about Isabella? That's weird, usually he only talks about Emma..."
Ferb felt himself shaking. "No big deal. I'm tired." he mumbled and changed into his pajamas, then hopped into bed and looked at the wall so he didn't have to think about his brother kissing his future girlfriend.

The next morning, Emma woke up to her phone buzzing over and over and over again.
"Who the crap is up at 5:30am?" she wondered, yawning and picking it up.
F - we need to talk
F - come over please
F - sorry if this wakes you up lol
She freaked out and jumped out of bed a little too fast, feeling the blood rush to her head and she felt dizzy and fell backwards on her bed. She giggled and sat up for a minute before rushing to her dresser and slipping on her classic teal, baby blue, and white striped sundress and bow before rushing out the back door and through the gate.
Ferb was waiting for her.
"Come on, Phineas is at the store getting parts, I need to talk to you this second." Ferb said, dragging Emma by the arm to under the tree.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" she asked, looking worriedly into his big, blue eyes, captivating her more by the second.
"Look, my brother's kissed you twice already without your permission, and I just thought I would show you how someone who really loves you can kiss like." he said, shooting her a wink, tongue-click, and finger point before taking her by complete surprise.
Emma's brain was about to explode from happiness, but the overwhelming feeling of peace washed over her. She kissed him back, and the kiss lasted for a good minute before they were both satisfied.
"Whoa..." was all that Emma could muster after what had just happened.
"If you liked that, just wait till after all this drama is over. Oh, look, Phineas is back!" he winked and walked out from behind the tree.
"Hey, Ferb! Who's that?" he asked, seeing the side of Emma's dress behind the tree.
Emma sheepishly stepped out.
"Hey, Em! Morning!" he grinned and started getting tools out. "Come here, you two, I need some help sorting these out!"
The other two looked at each other and chuckled before walking over to Phineas.
"Hi, Ph-Ferb... whatcha doin'?" Isabella asked, walking into the gate to find everyone else there too. "Oh, hi, Phineas. Hi, Emma." she said with a small smile.
"Hi, Isabella!" Phineas grinned, hoping for things to go back to normal.
"Mhm, morning." she nodded towards him and went up to Ferb. She kissed him on the cheek, and Emma felt her face boil with anger, but she swallowed her pride... or tried to...
"Oh, Ferby, I couldn't stop thinking of you last night! That text you sent me was so... romantic..." she sighed happily and leaned against Ferb's chest.
He went frigid and looked at Emma with a sympathetic gaze. Phineas looked up from the tools.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"Nothing, Phin. What do you need help with?" Emma asked, the jealousy starting to get to her.
He looked at her and she saw the pink flash in his eyes again. The jealous side of her was excited to see how Isabella would feel after seeing this, but another, nicer part of her was scared that she was going to lose her best friend.
Phineas winked at Emma and stood up. "Who cares about building stuff when I have you, darling?" he smirked and grabbed her hand, spinning her around. Out of nowhere, a song came on and they started dancing.
Isabella's face turned cherry red and grabbed Ferb's hand. "Dance, baby." she grinned and the other two started dancing. Emma and Ferb shot each other a nervous gaze but both went with it.
Phineas brought out a rose from nowhere and put it in Emma's mouth, and she giggled and kept dancing. Even if Phineas wasn't an option, Emma loved dancing and as long as he didn't try kissing her, she was okay with it.
Isabella kept nervously glancing over at the other couple and the jealousy was burning inside of her.
After they had finished dancing, Emma and Isabella laughed.
"That was fun, let's do it again!" Emma grinned. "How about... we switch partners?" she looked hopefully at Ferb, who winked at her.
Phineas snapped out of his phase. "Huh? What happened?"
"Just roll with it, Phineas..." Emma whispered, and he nodded confusedly.
Isabella hesitated. "Okay, I guess we can switch partners..." she said, looking at Phineas who was giving her a nervous grin. She giggled and her feelings for him came back as she ran over to him.
"Hi, Phineas..." she said, starting to enter PhineasLand as he took her hand.
"Hi, Isabella! I missed talking to you." he whispered. Ferb and Emma saw this and they ran behind the tree to give the other two a moment.
Isabella tried to be mad, but she couldn't deny the feelings for him that were still there. "I- I missed it too." she smiled softly. 'Why would Emma let me dance with Phineas? Doesn't she like him?' she thought, and everything started to click. "Stop the music!" she said.
Emma and Ferb looked at each other confused and stepped out from behind the tree.
"What's up?" Emma asked.
"Can we tell each other the honest truth?" Isabella asked, holding Phineas' hand still.
"Yeah, of course! We gotta clear the elephant in the room..." Emma giggled and sat down in front of Isabella.
"You mean, the elephant in the backyard." Ferb corrected, and Emma slapped his hand softly.
"Oh, don't be such a know it all, Ferb!" she giggled, and he held her hand behind their backs.
Isabella inhaled deeply. "Can we talk about what happened the other day? Why did you kiss Emma, Phineas?" she asked, turning to the boy beside her, who was burning bright red.
"Uh... I-" he started, and looked at Emma for an answer.
"Look, it's complicated. We were at the park so I could find out if he liked you or not, Isabella. He got shot with this green ray, and then he turned into a different person...ality... and kissed me. I tried so hard to push him off, because I knew it was wrong. Phineas has had this weird side that's been obsessed with me and we aren't sure why, except that it was from that ray." Emma explained, and Isabella nodded.
"A GREEN RAY? You couldn't have said anything earlier?" she scoffed.
Emma furrowed her brows. "Well, it was kind of hard to SAY SOMETHING when you were busy KISSING THE GUY I LIKE!" she exploded, and everyone looked at her.
"Yeah, well, so were you!" Isabella stood up and clenched her fists.
"At least I didn't use your special nickname for him!" Emma stood up as well, and the girls were now inches away from each other, staring murderously into each other's eyes.
Phineas and Ferb looked at each other and frantically stood up as the two girls starting slapping each other silly.
"NO YOU'RE A CHEATER!" Isabella screamed.
"YOU'RE A FERB STEALER!" Emma yelled in reply.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! What's up with Blondie and Girly?" Buford asked, walking through the gate with Baljeet in tow.
"Not now, Buford..." Phineas whispered, holding Isabella around the chest so she couldn't move her arms. Ferb was holding Emma's arms still by pinning them to her sides.
"LET ME AT HER!" Isabella screeched, and Phineas covered his ears in time for Isabella to jump out of his grasp and lunge at Emma, leaving a large scrape down her face.
"OWWWWW!! OOH, YOU'RE GONNA GET IT NOW!" Emma roared and tackled Isabella to the ground as the two scratched and screamed.
"GO BLONDIE! GO GIRLY!!" Buford screamed, and the other boys looked at him horrified.
"Don't encourage them, ya dingus!" Baljeet said, looking at the girls again.
"What? I like fights!" Buford shrugged, and the other boys facepalmed as they approached the ball of fire on the grass.
Ferb pried Emma off barely and both girls had a few nasty scratches.
Isabella snapped into her normal self first. "What the-? Emma... oh, no, I'm so sorry! I just-" she said, and Emma surprised her and started cracking up.
"Is she-?" Baljeet pointed.
"OH, MAN!! That was HILARIOUS!!" Emma doubled over, holding her stomach.
"...if anyone needs to go to the Smile-Away Reformatory, it's probably her..." Buford pointed at the laughing blonde.
Emma stopped laughing slowly and stood back up. "Sorry, guys... I get... laughing fits sometimes... over stupid things..."
Ferb looked at her like she had just gone 'Candace'.
"Isabella, I'm so sorry, I just... can we get 'Catfight' patches now?" she snorted, and Isabella couldn't help but laugh with her.
"YOU'RE A GENIUS EMMA!" she laughed, and the two girls were laughing together just as fast as they had gotten in a fight.
"What the gitchee gitchee goo just happened?" Phineas asked, pointing to the spectacle in front of them.
"Uh... I think we're okay now?" Ferb whispered.
"Hey, girls... what's going on? Are you... friends again?" Phineas piped up.
"Yeah, of course! Duh!" Isabella said, patting Emma on the shoulder, and Emma wrapped her arm around Isabella.
Everyone was majorly confused, but the good thing was that everything was good now. Or, so they thought...
Woo! That was a lot of emotion to write! Holy moly we had a kiss scene, a dance scene, AND 2 fights!! What in Gimmelshtump just happened?!? Anyways, hope you enjoyed this, and I'll be posting tomorrow! Night everyone!
