A/N: This is not a sequel to "Phineas and Ferb's best Christmas Adventures Ever", since that and "New Adventures" don't take place in the same universe, so to speak.
Disclaimer: Phineas and Ferb does not belong to me.
It was a cold, snowy, bright day in Danville. It was four days before the big holiday, and everybody was hustling about in the Tri-State Area getting their last minute Christmas shopping done. Everyone was getting themselves into the Christmas spirit, even those that lived on Maple Drive.
For everyone on that block, Christmas was their favorite holiday (with the exception of Isabella Garcia-Shapiro and her mother, who celebrated Hanukkah as well as Christmas) and they were all awaiting, with baited breath, for the arrival of old Saint Nick. And nobody was looking forward to that big day more than Phineas and Ferb. And for more reasons than one.
For one, this would be Phineas's first Christmas with Isabella as his girlfriend. He couldn't wait to spend the most wonderful holiday of the year with "the most beautiful and adorable girl in the world". He loved saying that about her, and surprisingly, it didn't annoy anybody in the family, perhaps because they all knew it was meant to be.
"Well, Ferb, it's only a few days until the most wonderful holiday of the year." Phineas told his brother gleefully, as the two boys got out of bed, and looked outside at the falling snow. "And this isn't just any Christmas. No sir, this year, it's my first Christmas was Isabella as my girlfriend. She's so cute."
"So I've heard." Ferb replied, simply brushing it off. He didn't mind that Phineas had been constantly talking about Isabella since they had gotten together early in the summer, though he wouldn't mind him not talking about it every once in a while.
"I just don't know what I'm going to get her for Christmas. I want to make sure that I get her everything and anything she wants. And I don't care what anybody says."
"But you know how she is when it comes with trying too hard to show her your feelings for her."
"I know. But it's Christmas. She can't possibly say anything about it. Anyway, she invited me to spend the day with her at her house. I better get over there." He rushed to the closet and immediately got dressed. When it came to Isabella, he didn't waste any time doing anything. He came out in just seconds with his trademark orange shirt and blue shorts on, grabbed his winter jacket, and rushed downstairs. After grabbing some breakfast, he bolted for the door. "See ya later, Ferb!" He could wait to spend the day with his "little cupcake". "Mom, Dad, I'm going over to Isabella's! I have my phone with me if you need me!"
"OK, have fun, dear!" Linda called from the kitchen. When it came to Isabella, the family was rather lenient with what he did with her, because they knew that Phineas and Isabella never had any intentions of doing anything bad with each other. They just loved each other's company.
Phineas trudged through the snow and made his way across the street to Isabella's house. It was freezing outside, but that didn't stop Phineas from making his way through the 6 inches of snow on the ground to her front door. When he arrived, he knocked a few times on the door, and waited for an answer. After a few moments of waiting, Vivian finally answered. "Oh, hello Phineas!" She shouted excitedly, obviously thrilled to see Isabella's future husband. "You're looking wonderful today. Are you here for your playdate with Isabella?"
"You know I wouldn't miss it for the world." He replied with a smile and a big blush.
"Let me get her for you. She hasn't stop talking about you since-"
"PHINEAS!" Came a loud but joyful scream from the inside of the home. It turned out to be Isabella, as she came rushing out the door to hug her soulmate. "You're here!"
"Y-You know I wouldn't miss you for the world...but you're crushing my spine!" He said, gasping for air. Isabella loosened her grip on him, but still nuzzled into his neck.
"Come on, kids. Inside you go." Vivian led the two kids into the house and closed the door. She helped Phineas take off his winter clothes, and led him and Isabella upstairs into her room. "You kids have fun. I have to make a few phone calls downstairs. Tell me when you get hungry."
"Thanks, Mrs. Garcia-Shapiro." Phineas thanked as Vivian left them alone.
"Oh, and Isa, go easy on him, please."
"Yes, Mom." Isabella replied sarcastically as Vivian closed the door behind her. As soon as they were sure she was out of their way, the two started laughing as Isabella lunged to hug her love. "Finally, we're alone."
"I love spending time with you, Isabella."
"Aw, you are so sweet." She nuzzled herself into his neck again. Phineas took a good look around to see what they could play with.
"Wow, you sure have a lot of toys." He said, observing her room. "What should we do first?" He turned to face her so she could answer his question. Unfortunately, for him, all she was focused on was him. She was staring love-struck into his eyes.
"Did anybody ever tell you you have such a cute face?" She said, giggling. He wrapped his arms around her as he laughed with her.
"Yes, as a matter of fact. You have, many times. And I never get tired of hearing it."
"And I never get tired of saying it." She replied, kissing his cheek. "Did I also say that you have such an attractive butt?" She was joking with him as she said this, so it was a surprise to see that his facial expression had fallen.
"Yes, yes you have. Again, many times." She slowly loosened her grip and started backing away. Little did she know that he was joking with her, too. "Oh, come on. Lighten up, Isabella. You know that doesn't bother me anymore. Don't look so nervous." He turned around and tackled her to the ground, holding her tightly as the two laughed for a long while. Staring into her beautiful eyes took Phineas's breath away. He had never felt as he felt with Isabella with anybody else before, and he never intended to. "You know I love you, Isabella, and that I would do anything to make you happy."
"Yes I do..." Hearing those words struck a chord with Isabella. She knew full well that Phineas would risk anything - even his own health - to please Isabella, and that's what bothered her. She didn't care for any romantic treatment from Phineas. All she wanted was for him to love her the way she loved him. And he did, he really did, even though he never could show it. "And...Phineas, that's kinda what I wanted to talk to you about..."
"What's the matter?" He turned to face her.
"Well, Christmas is coming up. You know, carol-singing, decorations, presents-"
"Presents! Oh, that reminds me. I haven't had a chance to go Christmas shopping for you, yet. You gotta give me a list of all the stuff you want for Christmas...oh wait, that's right. You-You don't celebrate Christmas, do you?"
"No, but that's not what I wanted to talk to you about. Look, Phineas, I know what you're going to do. You're going to go out of your way to buy me whatever you think I want for the holidays."
"Duh! Isn't that what the holidays are about?"
"No, Phineas. The holidays aren't just about gift-giving. They're about spending time with the people you love. And I-I know you love me, alot."
"So you're asking me not to get you anything for Christmas?"
"That's right. And I know that it's going to be hard for you because you're so determined to make me happy. But all I'm asking for you is to at least try. Just try not to let your feelings get the better of you."
"But, I want to get you something for Christmas. Please, Isabella, just let me."
"No. I don't want any materialistic items from you this year, OK? Promise me."
"B-Oh, OK. Fine, if it'll make you happy, I won't go out and buy anything for you for Christmas."
"Thank you." She tightened her hug on him, and in a blaze of pure feeling, she picked him up and wrestled him onto the bed. Both were laughing hysterically and loving each other's company. They wrestled and tickled each other for several more minutes until finally, they both calm down and simply decided to spend some time lying on the bed and holding each other.
It was no secret to anybody that Isabella and Phineas were madly in love with each other. Both loved the feeling of being next to each other. They completed each other. Neither could do without the other, and that's why Phineas fought so hard to please her, for fear that one simple mistake could drive her away forever. That's also why Isabella fought hard to convince him otherwise, because she was afraid of losing him forever.
After lying in bed, staring at each other for what seemed like hours, Phineas decided that he needed to get back home and spend time around his family & other friends. So, they said their goodbyes, kissed each other one last time, and parted.
As Phineas was leaving the house, he looked up at the window to her room one more time, and blew a kiss to it. His mind, by this time, was filled with mixed thoughts over what to do with Isabella and the upcoming holiday. "So, Isabella says that she doesn't want me to get her a present this year." He said to himself as he walked home. "Well, if that's what she wants, then-" Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, his brain having generated a painful thought for him. "Wait a second. What if this is a trick?" Once again, Phineas was allowing his feelings and fears to overtake his better judgement. "What if this is all just a cruel trick to catch me off guard. I'll show up on Christmas day without a present for her, and she'll probably have the biggest possible present to give me! She'll be like..."
(Cue Flash Forward)
"What do you mean you don't have a present for me!" An angry Isabella shouted to Phineas's face, as she held up a big wrapped box that she had gotten for him.
"B-But you told me that you didn't want me to get you any presents this year."
She scoffed. "And you believed me! Wow, you're even dumber than I thought!"
"But-"
"If you don't even have the decency to even buy me a present on Christmas, then I don't know why I fell in love with you!"
"Isabella, please! I'm sorry!" And soon enough, he found himself being pushed out of the door of Isabella's house.
"Oh, and by the way, your butt is not cute! I was just saying that to be nice. In fact, it's repugnant! I can't stand the sight of it." She said angrily as she slammed the door in his face, which not only hurt him, but it also started to cry.
"Isabella I'm sorry! Please, let me in! I promise I'll get you all the presents you want! PLEASE!" He screamed, banging on the door in a desperate attempt to earn her love back. But it was all in vain. She didn't open up, despite his constant knocking.
(End Flash Forward)
He opened his eyes and screamed. He panted heavily, trying to regain his breath. "Oh my gosh! It's just like summer all over again! I-I'm going to let her down and she'll never let me forget it! Unless..." Letting go of his wild anger and frustration for a moment, he started formulating a plan. "Unless I can get her everything that she wants for the holidays. Yeah. Then she can't say that I don't do anything nice for her, and I'll make sure she doesn't say that my butt's gross in any way!" He started laughing maniacally as he trudged away from Isabella's house.
From that moment on, his mind was set on one thing and one thing only: making Isabella happy. He knew that she would be the girl he would marry and be with forever, but was so afraid of disappointing her that he would put himself in harm's way just to see a smile on her face. Unfortunately, what he still didn't understand was that she didn't want him to go out of his way just to make her happy. But, he would soon learn that lesson the hard way.
There are two wondrous weeks of our winter vacation
Before New Years and school come to end it
So the holiday challenge for kids of all nations
Is finding a good way to spend it…
Like maybe…
Turning our beds into dual toboggans,
And sliding down the ski jump tower
Building a snowman the size of colossus
Or giving a Yeti a shower
Staging a snowball fight, with giant catapults
And snow angels that really fly
Rocking a Christmas carol, wrapping a present
Or just shoveling snow off the drive!
This could possibly be the best Christmas ever!
(This could possibly be the best Christmas ever!)
And the forecast says that next year will likely be
a million and six times better,
So make every minute count
jump up, jump in and seize the day,
And let's make sure that in every single possible way,
Today is Gonna to Be a Great Day!
Chopping down a Christmas tree and stirring up Eggnog
Playing with friends in the snow
Hanging up lots of Christmas decorations
Or kissing someone under the mistletoe (You know you want to, Isabella)
Little Drummer Boy, a little dreidel toy
Giving cheese to a mouse
Writing a list of desires, warming up by the fire
And wrecking Cleveland's old house!
A missile fuselage fell and destroyed Cleveland's house. The floorboards started tilting as the bathtub started slipping. The bathtub fell to the ground, breaking on impact. Strangely enough, nobody was in it. "Oh, that's right. Cleveland moved."
This could possibly be the best Christmas ever!
(This could possibly be the best Christmas ever!)
And the forecast says that next year will likely be
a million and six times better,
So make every minute count
jump up, jump in and seize the day,
And let's make sure that in every single possible way,
Today is Gonna to Be a Great Day!
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Let's put our heads together and design a master plan,
We may miss dinner, but I know mom will understand...
We got our mission and some pliers, yogurt, gumballs and desire,
A pocket full of rubber bands, the manual on handstands,
A unicycle compass, and a camera that wont focus,
A singing angel and a snowboard, here we go! (this is Ferb-tastic)
This could possibly be the best Christmas ever!
(This could possibly be the best Christmas ever!)
And the forecast says that next year will likely be
a million and six times better,
So make every minute count
jump up, jump in and seize the day,
And let's make sure that in every single possible way,
(Best! Christmas! Ever!)
This could possibly be the best day ever!
(This could possibly be the best day ever!)
And the forecast says that tomorrow will likely be
a million and six times better,
So make every minute count
Jump up, jump in and seize the day,
And let's make sure that in every single possible way,
(Seriously this is gonna be a great day)
This could possibly be the best day ever (Today's Gonna be a Great Day!)
This could possibly be the best day ever (Today's Gonna be a Great Day!)
End of Prologue!
Please note that this is NOT a sequel to "Phineas and Ferb's Best Christmas Adventure Ever" because that and my "New Adventures" series do not take place in the same universe. (Of course, the theme song is still the same) Anyway, prologue is done, and I hope to have the entire thing finished before Christmas Day! Wish me luck!
Next Time: Candace gets to meet her new boyfriend's parents. Will she hit it off with them?
Expected Update: Not sure, but I plan to have the entire story done by Christmas Day.
A/N: Remember, Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation Extended Edition airs tomorrow, as well as the premiere of "Take Two with Phineas and Ferb!"
