(Sabrina06) Chapter Two: The Note Joke:

"Did you send the message?" Phineas asks, looking around the table at the Fireside Girls, minus Isabella.

"Of course." Gretchen smiles.

"Does she suspect anything?" Phineas says, nervously playing with his ear.

"No," Adyson says. "Nothing,"

Phineas grins. "Great,"

Gretchen's phone buzzes. Everyone turns to her as she picks up the phone and reads the message. "She's going to be here in five minutes."

"We can't let Chief see us!" Katie exclaims.

"Alright let's leave before Isabella comes." Milly says.

Five minutes later…

"Girls?" Isabella says, looking around the empty ice-cream parlor. She walks to the cashier. "Um, have you seen a group of six girls in here?"

"As a matter of fact—"

"Isabella?"

She turns around to see none other than her long time best friend and crush, Phineas Flynn. She blushes instantly. "Hi Phineas, whatcha doin'?"

He grins, and shoves his hands into his pockets. "Oh, you know, getting ice-cream."

"Cool," She smiles.

"Yeah," He smiles. "What are you doing here?"

"Well… I'm supposed to meet The Troop here, but apparently I got the wrong ice-cream parlor." She looks down at her phone, re-reading the messages. She shows the message to Phineas. "See! It says it right there."

"Huh,"

"Yeah, weird right?"

"Totally." Phineas scratches his ear nervously.

She watches him. "What did you just do?"

Phineas looks up at her in surprise. "Um…"

"You just scratched your ear! You do that when you're lying or are nervous. Phineas, what do you know!?"

"I, uh…"

Her eyes light up, putting everything into place. "The girls aren't here but you are. No one is here but us… you are playing with your ear! Phineas…"

Phineas grins, sheepishly. He then grabs the flowers from the table he's standing next to them and hands them to her. "Happy April Fool's Day, Isabella."

She looks down at the flowers, curiously. "Is this a joke?"

Phineas gives her a small smile, shaking his head. "No joke."

And then he kisses her.
