First I will say that I was not talking about Ferb when I was talking in my last authors note and what I was saying was that they really fit one of the symptoms even though they don't have it. But I will drop that conversation because I know it will turn into a full on argument. In other news I finally got motivated enough to continue typing this story. I know that it may seem like it's loosing it's luster but it has been going on for a very long time and I originally only planed to update it in between other stories (I didn't even think it would get this far). In other news I hoe to finish this some time within this chapter or the next. I'm sorry that it's ending but if you look at my profile then you will see that I'm working on several stories and have some more planed … actually I have many stories planed. I would also like to thank everyone for reviewing, I have finally broken the 100 review mark and I couldn't have done it without all the support that you gave. Speaking of reviews lets get to them.

14AmyChan: Things get better.

Skypan: Like I said I do have it on the list. How can someone be going g crazy if they already are (I mean that in a nice way) but no he was never called Paul.

PianoMan5: Yes asburgers is a real thing it is as my mom said I high functioning form of autism.

Pregnantnun227: Glad to hear it.

FanficCriticTheThird: I'm guessing it's you and I was actually referring to someone else and an entirely different symptom, I do know the diference between antisocial and quiet.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything or anyone except Erick and Peter.

(Phineas's POV)

I sat there in shock at what I just heard, "Erick … spent his entire childhood ..."

"Alone, yes. I wasn't even able to visit him" Peter finished.

"Why not?" Isabella demanded.

Peter sighed, "the trip was over an hour by car on a day without traffic. Unfortunately that never happened" Peter brought his hands together under his chin, "he has gotten slightly better over the years but he really improved some time between when we moved here and now"

Isabella looked over to me, "I'm guessing that it was because he met Phineas and Ferb"

I looked over to Isabella, "he didn't seem to eager to get to know us when Ferb met him"

Peter sighed, "well whatever the case can I leave you two to handle it? I'd do it myself but I need to work on homework and I believe it has something to do with his friends"

I smiled, "we'd be happy to, that's actually why we're here"

Peter smiled and stood up, "thank you, if you need any help then I will be in the kitchen" and with that he walked into the kitchen.

I stood up and offered a hand to Isabella, "shall we?"

She grabbed my hand and I helped her up, "let's"

(Katie's POV)

I looked around at the group of people who were staring wide eyed at me, "and that's why he can't actual fall in love, he's been alone all his life so he's closed himself off. In the entirety of the time I've dated him I've never seen him show true affection" I looked to the side, "I guess it's because he's been to afraid to fall in love"

Ginger glared at me, "then why did you decide to date him if you knew that he would never love you?"

I looked to the side and sighed, "because he was the one to ask, he knew that I liked him and wanted to … I guess you could say he wanted to return the favor"

"What favor?" nearly half the group asked.

I smiled and looked to the side, thankfully Ferb answered the question for me, "you were the one to get him to be friends with all of us"

I nodded slightly, "he was … to himself and didn't want to got to know anyone and I wanted to get my 'befriend the new person' patch and I was very persistent with it. Eventually I wore him down and … I was the first of us he talked to" most of the group looked at me confused, "Erick doesn't talk to people unless he is friends with that person or mortal enemies" I looked up to the sky, "that very day I he spoke to me I … it just happened, the feeling of him finally opening up to me after only a few days, I felt … love"

Adyson glared at me, "if that's the case then why did you break up with him?"

"Because I knew that no matter how much I felt for him he would not feel the same for me. We never spent time together and I could just see the unwillingness in his eyes" I sighed and looked to the ground, "and on top of that I knew he was thinking the same thing. He wanted to tell me on our third date to be courteous and keep me happy but ..." I looked away, "I know that I put him in a bad mood because I refused to make him go through with it and I know that he will probably be angry at me for a while for ending it like I did"

"IDIOT!" Gretchen called causing everyone to look at her in shock. "Sorry … I didn't mean to be rude but ... your wrong … very wrong"

I sighed and gave Gretchen a look, "and how would you know?"

"Because he told me and Phineas that he was in love with you"

I was struck speechless then Ferb decided to speak, "Erick isn't the type of person to lead someone on like that, that look in his eyes … was probably fear"

"Fear of what?" I asked shyly.

"Fear that he would mess up … like he always does"

I looked away, "are you sure that he is in love with me?" I asked weakly. Gretchen nodded.

I contemplated something for a bit then stood up, "where are you going?" someone asked.

"To set things right"

(Phineas's POV)

Isabella and I were at the door to Eric's room, "you want to go first?" Isabella asked me. I let out a laugh and opened the door. Inside was dark and quiet. I could see Erick on the bed looking at the opposite wall, "Erick?" Isabella said as she stepped in. Erick turned to look at us then turned back to the wall, "I'm sorry" there was no response, "I'm sorry I mentioned your parents without actually knowing about the situation and … I believe it might be my fault that Katie dumped you"

I looked at Isabella in disbelief, "what are you-"

"If I had waited five seconds before kissing Ferb then Phineas would have not needed those patches and I wouldn't have needed someone to talk to when Ferb ended it"

I wanted to object but … she was kinda right. If she had waited five seconds then I would have asked her out and I wouldn't have needed to have Erick help me with the emotional suppressors which took him away from planing a date with Katie and an actual date with Katie. Later on Isabella got dumped by Ferb which made her sad and asked Katie to help her feel better which also made them miss a date. But I objected anyway, "you couldn't have know what would happen"

Isabella let out a tear, "but it was a stupid idea anyway for me to try to make you jealous"

Again I agreed with her but I didn't want her to feel bad, "you were desperate, if anything it's my fault for not noticing that you were in love with me"

Isabella didn't smile, "I could have told you a long time ago, I should have told you a long time ago and just took the pain of waiting a day for you too come up with an answer"

"Then you would have been in pain for a day"

"As opposed to several weeks?" I remained silent.

Moments later I heard a … laugh come from Erick, "wow I can't believe Phineas is trying to take blame for Katie breaking up with me"

"Erick? Why are you laughing?"

He rolled over and sat up, "because Isabella thinks that she is the reason why Katie broke up with me"

Isabella looked at him curiously, "she broke up with you because you didn't spend time together right?"

Erick shook his head, "she broke up with me because she thought that I was going to break up with her"

We both tilted our heads to the side, "what?" we both said simultaneously.

"I fell in love with Katie a short time after I met her, I just never knew how to show it so … I never did" Erick looked to the side, "if you looked at our relationship from the outside then it would look like I was just leading her on to attempt to make her happy, which is a contradiction in and of itself" Erick sighed, "she used the excuse that we weren't spending time with each other as an excuse to break up with me before I broke up with her" Erick dropped his back onto the bed, "I guess I deserve this for not telling her that I love her sooner"

"Erick?" Isabella and I turned around to see Katie behind us, "did you just say-"

"Maybe we should leave them alone" Isabella whispered to me. I nodded in agreement and we walked out of Erick's room and closed the door behind us.

(Erick's POV)

Phineas and Isabella had just left leaving Katie and I alone, "Erick … did you just say-"

"I love you Katie" I finished for her, "I've loved you for a very long time and I …" I looked down and paused, "I just didn't know how to show it to you"

When I looked up Katie was no more than an inch from me, "Erick" she said as she put her hands on my shoulders, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"It's okay Katie" she pushed me down on the bed and laced her hands around the back of my neck.

"Oh Erick" she said as she climbed on top of me. I was afraid for a moment that she was about to do stuff that we weren't supposed to do until we were older but my fears were put to rest when she brought her head beside mine, "thank you" she whispered.

I brought her to my side so we were lying in bed properly and we just stayed there in each others embrace, "I love you Katie" I whispered into her ear.

(Phineas's POV)

(The next day)

Ferb and I were sitting under our tree as always but today was different. Instead of a daily group activity that broke the laws of physics, everyone already had something else planed. "So Ferb, what are you planing for your date with Gretchen today?"

He looked at me and smiled, "I plan to take her to the most romantic restaurant in the entire try-state-area"

I laughed a little, "sounds like a plan, I plan to take Isabella to-"

"Hey Phineas, what,cha,doin?" I looked over to see Isabella and Gretchen had arrived.

"Hey Isabella, I'm just waiting for my girlfriend to come over here so I can get a kiss from her" Isabella giggled, slowly walked over to me, kneeled down, and pressed her lips against mine. When we finally separated I noticed that Ferb and Gretchen were already at the gate waiting to go on there date. "Oh Ferb before you leave do you know what Erick and Katie are doing for there third date?"

Ferb smiled, "I think they said something about … a drive or something"

I looked at him confused, "Erick cant drive"

"His uncle is taking them"

"Doesn't sound that romantic then" Isabella said.

The smile disappeared from Ferb's face, "apparently today is Erick's fourteenth birthday and he wanted to take Katie to see his mother"

Ferb knew that Isabella and I knew Erick's story and what he meant be that, "then remind me later that we have to plan him a small surprise belated birthday party for him tomorrow" Ferb pulled out his notepad and made a note then he and Gretchen walked out the gate.

"So what do you have planed for us today?" Isabella asked as she ran her hands around the back of my neck.

I wrapped one of my hands around her back and pulled out my phone with my other, "go to Paris France"

"Paris France located"

Again I would like to advertize my other stories so please go to my profile and take a look at the ones in progress. And on top of that another idea for a story came to my head while writing this chapter but seeing as I've already done one where Isabella openly confesses her feelings to Phineas I'm kinda on the fence on this one. I was debating with myself on whether or not I was going to put more about Phineas and Isabella's trip to Paris but in the end I decided that enough people have done something like that and I'll use the scene I wanted to put in there somewhere else. But other than that this is the end of the story Why? But don't fret because I still have more stories in the wing, all you have to do is vote on them on my profile, or just go to my profile and see which stories I'm currently working on. But alas I thank you all and hope you enjoyed this story. Now I must recalibrate myself to another frequency so I don't think about this incredibly long story when writing others. … I forgot the cake pie didn't I? … no there was something about it in chapter 5. P.S. Everyone who read this may have a peace of cake-pie.
