As soon as the preteen ran back into the house, another strange beam of light hit the step-brothers newest machine, causing all the emotions to return back to Isabella. But that was after the test was over, and due to the lone side effect of the machine, Isabella was still inside the machine.

Even though I was still halfway between being asleep and awake because of the machine, I could hear a scream from the outside. It sounded a lot like Phineas, and if I was right, he screamed, "No!" I think the whole city of Danville could have heard. But I was stuck so I couldn't tell. I hope Phineas is all right.

5 minutes had passed and Ferb quickly helped Isabella take off her helmet and helped her exit the machine. Isabella was a little woozy.

"What just happened? I feel like I had all my emotions taken away from me, and then quickly replaced as if someone had pushed a reset button. Oh well. Hey, where's Phineas. I thought I heard him scream."

Ferb sighed and turned and pointed to their bedroom.

"Why is Phineas there? Did something happen?"

Ferb decided to tell her. "Isabella, we created this machine so that when you saw the picture of Phineas, he could tell if you liked him or not. Of course I know you love him…"

"Hey, how did you know that," Isabella asked, turning a little red from embarrassment. She thought that only the Fireside Girls and Candace knew of her crush. Ferb gave her a look of, "You can't be serious."

"Isabella, the only person who doesn't know is Phineas, and with this machine he thought he would find out. But for some reason, when his picture popped up all that happened was that the picture turned gray, signaling that no emotion was felt for that person."

"But that's not how I feel at all! I love him!" Isabella quickly covered her mouth, hoping that Phineas hadn't heard. He hadn't, he was in his shared room, trying to block out the world. Ferb looked at Isabella, with the most serious, loving expression he could make.

"I know that, but I'm not the one you need to tell." He turned and signaled that Isabella should follow him. She knew he was right, so she followed him into the house.

I knew that it was a bad idea. I knew it. We should've never built that machine. Man, I feel like an idiot. The one person that I cared about more than Ferb didn't have any emotions or feelings toward me at all. Now, I'll never be able to tell her. Nothing will be the same again. I couldn't take it anymore, so I just starting crying, no sobbing. It hurt too much. I heard a knock at the door. "Go away; I just want to be alone." Ferb opened the door, and stood in the doorway. "Oh, it's just you Ferb." It was hard to say, I was chocking on all the tears that were waiting to fall. He walked up to my bed, sat down and gave me a hug.

"Phineas calm down. I've never seen you like this," he said trying to calm me down.

"Now what I am I going to do? The girl that I love doesn't even care for me, and I bet that's how she has always felt." I couldn't hold back anymore, and just starting sobbing n my brother's arms.

"Now, now, you don't really think that do you," Ferb questioned rubbing my back trying to get me to stop crying.

I thought for a moment. He was right I was being irrational, but the pain was too loud in my ears. "No, I don't." I replied sniffing back a few tears and wiping my eyes on my arm. "I just wish I could tell her, and just maybe see if she might like me back."

"Well don't tell me. You need to tell her."

"I don't think that I can do it."

"Oh, I believe that you'll find that it'll be easier that you think." He turned toward the hall, and Isabella came into view from the hallway. "I'll leave you two alone for a bit. I'm going to start cleaning up." He walked up and quickly left the room, leaving me with the girl I thought didn't care for me at all.

Isabella walked into the room with a sad look on her face. She hated to see Phineas upset, and just seeing him fight back tears only made her want to cry. She sat down next to Phineas, about to speak when Phineas spoke up.

"Isabella, I'm sorry. I wanted to make sure you…" He was cut off when Isabella put her finger on his lips, causing him to stop.

"Phineas, I know why you built that machine. Ferb told me." She could see the pain in his eyes. He was fighting hard not cry in front of her.

"Isabella, I didn't want to hurt or scare you. I just wanted you to be happy. I didn't want to ask you if that was going to change our friendship."

"That's ok. You know those two beams that hit the machine; I think it caused the answer to come up wrong." He looked at her with a quizzed look on his face.

"What?" Phineas hopes were starting to come up again, slowly.

"You see Phineas, ever since I met all those years ago, I liked you. First, it was like the love a brother that I didn't have. Eventually, I started thinking about you non-stop. I was thinking about how I looked when I was near you, how I talked, looking for ways t always be around you. Then I came to realize something. There is only one way you feel about someone when you starting acting the way I did. Do you know what it is?"

Phineas was sitting there waiting for Isabella to continue. His heart started to race. He started to sweat. This was it, we was going to find out how she really felt.

"Phineas, I love you," she screamed, quickly covering her mouth at how loud she said it.

"Y...y...you do?" Phineas asked, his heart racing, with his demeanor changing quickly from depression to being ecstatic.

"Yes, Phineas, I do. I've always had, but I never knew a way to say it, until now."

Phineas didn't know what to say. He was so glad that you could've jumped for joy, but he had another idea.

"I love you to Isabella, and I'm going to prove it."

"Phineas, you don't have to prove anything to me."

"Yes I do and you know how I'm going to do it?"

Seeing as Phineas might get sad again if she didn't agree with him, she shrugged and said,

"I don't know. How are you going to show it?"

"With this," and he leaned in and gave Isabella their first kiss. It was long and sweet. (In fact it reminds of a quote. What was it again oh, yes, "Since the invention of the kiss there have been five (now six) kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind.")
