Well here it is, the final chapter to this extensive story you guys have all helped me write. It has only taken me about, say nearly 7 months to write it! This chapter isn't quite as exciting as the others, but you have to give me some slack because I'm very sick with the flu right now. Literally, I'm lying next to a laptop typing with one finger. But thank you guys so much for all the reviews I've received, now it it's up to a whopping 164! Well enough of this, you guys must be ready to read.

**Disclaimer**

I don't own Phineas and Ferb!

Chapter 10: The End

Phineas POV
Isabella and I slowly walked back across the street, each with a very red but smiling face. I had mostly recovered from my injury before, but Isabella was still limping from her ankle, so I was holding on to her to ease her pain. I glanced at Isabella to see her beaming and looking up towards the sky. A few new tears were streaming down her face, but I knew that they were because she was happy.

I had never seen Isabella cry so much in one day. The only other time I could ever remember her crying was on that deserted island when we had traveled around the world. I hated to see her like that, and when she was crying today, but it was okay right now.

This day must have meant a lot to Isabella if she was crying so much. I guess she had been waiting a long time for us to get together. I only wished I could have figured it out earlier and saved Isabella the pain and disappointments I must have made her go through.

We had crossed the street now and were walking up my driveway. I stopped walking and turned to face Isabella.

"I know I already said it, but I'm sorry Isabella," I said, "I didn't mean to make you wait so many years for me, I should have figured it-" I was stopped as Isabella quickly leaned in and kissed me. Wow, this summer was going to be very enjoyable.

When she pulled away a few seconds later, she responded, "You don't need to apologize, Phineas. It was long, but now we're together and you've made me the happiest girl alive. I love you so much." And she stepped forward and hugged me tightly. I hugged back and lifted her off the ground a bit, making her giggle.

"I love you too, Isabe-" I stopped short when I heard … was that a lion roaring? Isabella and I parted, and I looked around, searching for any source of the noise.

"Did you hear that?" I asked Isabella, who was now looking confused as well.

Isabella opened her mouth and was about to speak when the roar came again, much louder this time. Isabella grabbed my hand and squeezed hard, I could see worry appear on her face. Yep, that was definitely some sort of wild animal. This time it was accompanied with a screaming Baljeet.

"Baljeet could be in trouble," I thought, and I advanced with a slightly trembling Isabella to the gate. The roar came again, and Baljeet made another scream, a little quieter this time. Isabella gave a jump and squeezed my hand again. I looked at her with wide eyes before turning to the gate and slowly inching it open.

"RROOOOAAARRR!" I jumped back from the gate and backed into Isabella. She screamed and hugged me, burying her head into my neck. I hadn't seen what was in there, but the gate was now slowly creaking open and...

Baljeet was facing away from us at the gate, and next to him was Ferb laughing like a hyena … laughing like a hyena? Where was the lion? Then it hit me. Ferb must have shot himself with the animal noises ray! I sighed in relief and let go of Isabella, who turned to see Baljeet and Ferb as well.

"Ferb! You freaked us out!" I shouted, although I wasn't really angry, just still tense. Both of them turned around to see us walking in through the gate, Isabella still clutching onto me.

"Its okay, Ferb just got hit with the animal noises ray," I explained to Isabella in case she didn't understand. She didn't let go but nodded her head.

Ferb smiled, then let out a few seagull cries, but they suddenly became high-pitched screams of the word "Seagull".

He stopped short, then yelled "Gorilla!" in a deep voice, disappointment appearing on his face.

"It finally wore off!" Baljeet exclaimed, letting out a deep breath. "That was way longer than when you two were hit with that angry ray, even longer than that horrid 'drunk' ray you hit me with!" He then realized that Isabella and I had just returned. "You guys are back! Did you apologize, Phineas?"

"I think they did more than apologize," Ferb commented with a smug grin, noticing our position. Both Isabella and I blushed, and she finally let go of me and moved away.

"Shut up, Ferb" I said jokingly, punching him lightly on the shoulder. I decided to let Isabella tell them about what had just happened between us. She told them about how I had come to apologize but that she spaced out too long to answer, and that she had fallen down the stairs trying to apologize but I had swooped in and saved her, taking an injury for her. Isabella then told them how we had we had made amends, and she thankfully left out the most surprising and enjoyable part at the end.

When she was almost done explaining, I noticed Buford walking behind us through the same gate that we had just come through, holding something in his hand. Where had he been this whole time?

"So neither of us even know or remember why or what we were fighting about, but Phineas and I have fixed it, now we're back to being best friends." Isabella finished. "Maybe even more," she said smiling at me with a twinkle in her eye.

I smiled back and stared into her eyes. Our eyes were glued to each other, and we were slowly moving towards each other, forgetting about everybody and everything else, until...

"I said, how come you guys aren't mad at each other anymore?" asked Buford rather roughly. He was now in front of us, standing next to Ferb and Baljeet.
I snapped back to reality, pulling my eyes away from Isabella's deep blue ones.

"Oh, uh, we made up," I responded, "Didn't you here Isabella's explanation?"

"More like made out," Ferb said slyly. Isabella blushed majorly, but she couldn't help but smile.

Before I could come up with a comeback, Baljeet interrupted my thoughts.

"Actually, Buford may have something to say about how you became so angry," Baljeet said.

"What do you mean, Baljeet?" I asked, but as I asked, Buford seemed to tense up for some reason.

"Uhm, well you remember how we made that emotion machine thingy before your fight?" Buford asked, looking at everything but Isabella and me.

"Yeah, and for some reason that happy emotion didn't even work on us!" Isabella anwered.

"...Well, um, it actually did work," Buford replied, looking like he would rather be anywhere else in the world but here. I raised an eyebrow.

"I just, um, accidentally, well, you know, zapped you guys with an angry ray instead of the happy one," Buford sputtered out quickly, although Isabella and I both understood. We stood there for a moment, taking it in.

"Wait - so you hit us with an angry ray?!" Isabella finally exclaimed, looking shocked. Buford cowered and nodded.

"That means that Phineas and I were only fighting because of the machine - which means we would never have fought if we had the choice!" she said exuberantly. "It wasn't either of our faults!" she said happily, turning towards me and smiling.

"Well I hate to say it, but I guess I should probably be a little sorry for doing that," Buford spoke up, probably grateful of Isabella's positive reaction. "So I went home and made these for you two."

Buford stepped forward and handed us two pieces of paper each. Baljeet's face twisted in pain when he didn't receive anything. I read one of my little tickets - THIS TICKET GOOD FOR ONE BULLY-FREE DAY. Now I could see why Baljeet had wanted one.

"I kinda hoped you guys would forgive me for that - you can use those whenever you want and I'll stop bullying you for the rest of the day. So is that okay?"

"Thanks, Buford, but I don't need your tickets." I handed the slips of paper back to Buford, who took them confusedly. "See, it was bad that Isabella and I had to fight, but in the end, I discovered something that I may have never figured out if not for our apologies." I glanced at Isabella, who smiled and gave me a little nod.

"Because of the fight, I learned that Isabella likes me - no, that Isabella is in love with me." Isabella reddened, and I could see shock appear on the rest of the gang's faces, excluding Ferb. Probably not because they were surprised Isabella liked me, but because I had somehow understood for once.

"And I figured out, that I think - no, I know that I love her back now," I finished, stepping up close to Isabella and putting my arm around her. "I'm actually quite grateful that the fight happened, completely because of the outcome, so you can keep those tickets, Buford."

Everyone, even Ferb to a point, was staring wide-eyed at me. What were they so amazed about?

"So you actually caught on?" Baljeet finally asked.

"Yeah, I guess so!" I replied.

"You can take mine too, Buford," Isabella added, stretching to give her tickets to Buford without moving away from me.

"Could you give those tickets to me instead?" asked a pleading Baljeet.

"Nope, runt, I've already got 'em," Buford responded, smirking. "Harsh luck!"

"Oh please! Please, I need them!" wailed Baljeet, who had fallen on the ground and was now holding onto Buford's shoe.

"...Oh fine! But only one!" Buford said, handing a single ticket to Baljeet.

"YIPPPEEE!" Baljeet screamed, jumping up and performing some weird nerd dance.

"And I'm only giving you that because-" Buford stopped talking when Baljeet made a happy scream again and ran out of the yard.

"Hey nerd, get back here! I wasn't finished explaining why I gave you that!" And with that Buford ran out after him, leaving just me, my brother, and Isabella in the yard.

We all stood there for a bit, and I was just still wrapping my mind around all the new changes, although, it still felt like I was forgetting something. And then it hit me - if Isabella and I were going to advance our relationship to the more-than-friends stage, I had to make it official.

"Hey Ferb, could you go inside? I have to ask Isabella something important" Ferb flashed me a thumbs-up, then retreated into the house.

"What is it, Phineas?" Isabella asked sweetly. I let go of her and instead took her hands in mine.

"Well I've been thinking, this means we're going to start dating and stuff, right?" I asked.

"I really hope so!" she said, nodding eagerly.

"Well then, Isabella, I have to ask you a question to get us to that stage. Will you be my girlfriend, Isabella?"

Isabella shrieked and ran into me, pushing us over much like when she fell down the stairs. We hit the ground again, which hurt a bit, but not as much as before.

"YES, YES, YES!" she said over and over again, not aware that we had fallen. She then started giggling uncontrollably and kept on squeezing my body. And then she opened her eyes and realized we were on the ground.

"Oh no, did I hurt you again?" she asked worriedly.

"A bit, but its okay." I struggled to reply due to her weight on me. "But I wouldn't have it any other way." I said, smiling at her.

"Well, I know just how to make it up to you, boyfriend!" And with that, Isabella leaned forward and pressed her lips against mine for the fifth time that day, sealing the perfect memory with a perfect kiss.

"I love you," I whispered into her lips as we lay on the grass, entangled in each other's arms.

"I love you too," she mouthed back, her hands on both of my cheeks, trying to pull me closer.

Somehow, the sun had already begun to set, and we hadn't even had lunch or dinner yet. But it didn't matter, because this memory and day were going to be remembered forever as the best day we had ever had. To think that all of this had started because our hands had been merged into one, forcing us to stay together. Maybe that random green ray of light that had struck us wasn't so bad after all.

The end. I hope you all liked it or loved it, I know I did! Please leave your reviews about what you thought of it, and if there is anything you thing I could do to improve it or my writing.

Dragonpus16294: Glad you thought it was funny! I checked out your account by the way, and it looks awesome, especially that PnF: Across the 2nd Dimension redo. It looks great!

Guest: You probably figured out where Buford was by reading the story. And my next story may include those! (see below)

The next story you might want to try is "Christmas Bliss", but you don't have to read it during Christmas. And then there's "Frozen Reality" which just barely came out and will be updated every Friday!
