PnF - Hidden love

Prologue

Usually, Phineas Flynn was a energetic, optimistic kid who could find the joy and excitement in any summer day. However, today he felt the exact opposite; completley depressed and not because the day was ending.

It was because he was about to lose his best friend.

Phineas and his stepbrother, Ferb stood sadly by as they watched Isabella and her mother load up the last of their things into the back of their car. Slowly the 10 year old girl turned toward her friends, her eyes still red and puffy from crying and he immediately spoke up.

"I wish you didn't have to go."

She looked at Phineas with a large amount of remorse. "So do I Phineas, but you know how important this job is to my mom. I can't just stay here just because I want to." Isabella attempted to smile, but to no avail.

After giving a quick hug to her, Phineas dug into his pocket and pulled out a necklace with a small heart-shaped pendant connected to it. "Here, take it." Phineas said, placing the small item into her hands.

Isabella looked up, confused until he spoke again. "It's just someting I made yesterday. I want you to have it." Phineas cracked a small smile. "There's also someting written on the back."

Tears started to reform in her eyes, and she immediately embraced Phineas again, holding him tightly. He returned the hug, both hoping that they could stay that way forever, together in each other's arms. Unfortunately, the honking of the horn brought them back to reality and she was forced to break apart from him.

"Thank you" she managed to utter through her tears. "It's beautiful." For a second, she wanted to say something else, something that she desperately needed to get out. Instead she turned toward Ferb and gave him a quick hug. After that, she took one long last look at Phineas then stepped into the car and drove off.

Phineas watched until the car was out of sight and then heavily sighed. Ferb put a hand on his brother's shoulder and tried to cheer him up. "Don't worry about her Phineas, I'm sure we'll see her again someday."

"Yeah…" Phineas stared at the spot when the car had last been seen. "Ferb, I think I'll be out here for a bit longer."

Not saying anything more, Ferb walked back into the house, leaving Phineas to grieve in silence. "Goodbye Isabella." He whispered, and stared once more into the sunset.

As they moved father and farther from her old home, Isabella's tears started to subside. Still clutching the necklace, she finally stopped crying long enough to read what was written on the back of the charm that Phineas gave her.

No matter how Dark your day seems, happiness can
always be found when you need it the most.
Live, Laugh, and Love because life's troubles
can never keep you down.
Just smile, and keep moving forward

After reading this, Isabella started to smile. Noticing this, her mother finally spoke. "Don't worry Isa, everything will be fine." She said in a calming voice.

Isabella looked back at her mother and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Yeah, I guess they will be."
