Is It Too Late For Love? (A Phinbella Story)

Chapter Three: Operation: Get The Paper!

(A/N: As promised, here's your Buford POV! He calls Isabella "Izzy" for a reason you're gonna need to find out.)

BUFORD'S POV

I'd do everything for Izzy. Anything. For that beautiful girl. And now she asked me to do something for her, so I need to make it count. I don't want to hurt anybody anymore. Heck, I even use Regular Gum instead of Tuff Gum now!

Anyway, as I searched for Lia, who reminds me of Izzy, I stumbled upon Lia's sister, Kyla, who knows everything about her sister, duh, and who could help me in finding her. What a coincidence!

"Hey, Buford." Kyla said.

"Hey, Kyla." I replied.

I told her about how Lia stole something important from Izzy. She got a bit angry when she heard Lia's name, which, she explained, was because they hated each other. She then pointed to the library, and said "Lia has her own hiding place in there, under the biggest bookshelf. It's her award for winning more badges than any Fireside Girl in the world. Even more than Candace Flynn or Isabella herself! Now, go, quickly! The password is 28161!"

I ran to the library, where I entered the password on the side of the biggest bookshelf, and it moved to the right, revealing a passageway everyone saw, but only few know how to enter.

LIA'S POV

I hid as soon as I heard footsteps coming from the passageway. I peeked out from my hiding spot, to see Buford searching for something. Probably the paper. But, well, I had it in my hand.

Poor Buford.

"Lia, I know you're in here somewhere! Kyla told me everything." he exclaimed.

I decided to stand up and reveal myself.

"Hah, you're gonna need to hurt me if you want to get this." I taunted him, showing the paper in my hand. I haven't read it yet, but after this boy goes away, I will.

I saw Buford struggling to keep his bulky fist from punching me. I suddenly noticed his big muscles.

I turned away and said:

"I have 500 badges for a reason, Buford. You can't touch me."

BUFORD'S POV

I swore to Isabella that I won't hurt anyone. I'll keep that promise. But still, I wanted to get that paper! I want to find out who Isabella likes! I just really wanted to get to be important to Izzy.

I stepped forward, only to trigger a trap Lia probably set.

"Screw that paper, I'm getting out of here, as soon as you set me free from this net." I said.

Lia's eyes brightened up. "Good!"

Then, after she set me free from the net, I took the paper from her and ran. Kyla once told me that Lia was easily tricked. Turns out it's true!

"Curse you, Buford!" Lia screamed.
