Let me start off by saying I'm sorry for being so late on updating this story. Someone stole the sugar cookies again and I've just been bummed out. I will no longer be leaving out my everlasting plate of surge cookies or any for the remainder of the story. Other than that I wont be updating this that frequently until I finish one of my other stories so I'm sorry about that too.
Skypan: I hope to make the second date more interesting than the first, (I'll explain later in the chapter).
PianoMan5: Once again, thank you.
Guest: I'm glad it made your Monday, I hope this makes your Wednesday.
Pregnantnun227: A. your the reason I'm not leaving out the cookies anymore B. you misspelled sick.
OC RADIO FM 365: Thank you for understanding.

(Phineas's POV)
I awoke early the next morning about an hour before the alarm was supposed to go off. I had trouble staying asleep from the stress of not knowing what to do on my first date with Izzy. In the end I just decided to stop trying and get ready early. As I was brushing my teeth an idea hit me. I quickly finished up, gargled, and ran into my room. I quietly got my cellphone and walked out without waking Izzy or Ferb.
"I so hope he's awake right now." I said quietly to myself as I started dialing the phone.
It rang a few times before I heard a voice on the other end, "Hello?"
"Hi Erick, before I go to why I called, may I ask why your awake this early?"
"I always wake up early so I can talk with my uncle before he has to leave for school."
I paused. "I forgot that he's all you have."
"I have my friends, and I have Katie too. But enough about me, what's up with you?"
"Firstly you need to promise not to mention what I'm about to tell you to anyone."
"Unless it's illegal then yeah, I promise."
I breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. You see, yesterday I asked Izzy out on a date."
"You don't say."
"Yeah and after thinking it over for a while she said yes."
"She thought it over for a while?" Erick asked in a very confused tone.
"Yeah, and she also doesn't want anyone to know about it until I officially make her my girlfriend, so you have to keep it a secret."
There was a long pause before I got a response, "O … kay"
"Thank you, now I need to know about what I'm supposed to do on a first date."
"Well, what do you have planned?"
"We're going to the park."
There was another pause, "Your going to want a follow up, something to do after, but not a finisher, just a second task."
I took a deep breath. "What do you recommend?"
"I recommend you come up with an idea yourself, but an idea would be a movie."
"I already saw a movie with her just yesterday."
"Seeing a movie is a versatile thing. The guy upstairs used to go out every weekend to see one."
"Who's the guy upstairs?" At that moment I heard thunder come from outside. I walked over to the window to see it had started raining. "It wasn't supposed to rain today, was it?"
"I take partial responsibility for that."
"Why?"
"No reason. Now back to your question. The first date is about having fun, the mentally taxing stuff doesn't start until the second date."
"What happens on the second date?"
"Now its important that you wait to ask her for a second date. Now seeing as she is staying with you for the week, I think it would be okay to ask her tomorrow morning."
"But what about the second date?"
"Cross that bridge when we come to it my friend."
There was another crash of thunder, this one was louder and closer. "Do you think it would be okay for me to change the date from the park to the movies?"
"Why are you asking me?"
I laughed into the phone, "Okay thank you. Remember, don't tell anyone." I hung up the phone and ran upstairs.
When I got there I saw that Izzy and Ferb had already woken up. "Hi Phineas, what'cha'doin out of bed so early?" She said from the air mattress.
"Couldn't sleep. I was anxious about … today." I picked my words carefully because one thing I learned from T.V. Is that I should not look desperate. "Speaking of which, looking at the weather, would you mind us seeing a movie first?"
Izzy got up and walked to the window and saw how much it was raining, "Wow it's really coming down out there." She turned back to me, "Yeah, sure, I'm okay with a movie. Just let me get ready first." Isabella got up, grabbed her bag, and walked over to the bathroom to change.
When she was out of the room I walked over to Ferb. "Hey bro, can you give me some pointers on what to do on the first date?"
Ferb looked at me for a moment before talking. "The first date is about having fun, if you manage that then it's a success."
"Is that all?"
He shook his head. "No you have to make sure NOT to make a big move on her on the first date. It's almost the same as hanging out, so don't go too far."
"Alright, thanks." I made my way over to the door, "I'll tell you how it goes later."
(Ferb's POV)
I watched my brother run out of our room, If only he knew how Isabella felt about him. I sighed and walked over to my dresser, I wonder if I should have warned him about the second date?
(Phineas's POV)
(Some time later)
By the time we made it to the theater it was pouring down so hard that people without an umbrella looked like they just came out of a pool. Izzy and I took an umbrella with us as we left, so we didn't look as bad as we got into the theater. "I'm glad we were able to get out of the rain." I said as we got inside. "So what movie do you want to see?"
"Why not the romantic one that we didn't see last time we were here?"
I laughed a little. "Yeah, it seems a little more appropriate now." I walked up to the counter and purchased two tickets. We walked over to the concession and were taken by surprise by who we found there.
"Django? Is that you?" Izzy asked getting Djangos attention.
"Oh hi guys. What brings you two here? He asked.
"We're here to see a movie, why else would we be here?" Izzy responded.
Django laughed a little. As we got closer I noticed that there were bags under his eyes and he was almost fighting to keep his eyes open, "Did you get enough sleep? You look really tired."
He sighed, "People warned me about my second date, but I thought they were all grossly over exaggerating … I found out the hard way that they were actually rather accurate."
We both looked at him in shock, "But I thought that it was supposed to be about having fun?" Izzy asked.
Django sighed. "Yes and no, yes in the matter that you SHOULD be having fun, no being … the second date is rather ... stressful."
"How so?" I asked.
"The first date is about having a good time with the other person while the second is getting to know that you like who they are."
I raised an eyebrow, "Sounds easy if you've been friend for a while."
"You have to remind them, without being reiterative."
I froze, Izzy knows me almost as well as Ferb does, how on earth am I going to impress her on the second date?
"Django? Could you not talk about that right now?" Izze asked.
"Why?" He asked.
Izzy didn't answer him, she just leaned her head on my shoulder and smiled.
"Oh ..." He looked around in fear, "So what movie are you to here to see?"
"We're seeing that new romance one that just came out a few days ago." I answered.
He looked back and forth between us before the cashier gave him his popcorn, "I … guess I'll see you guys later than." He walked off.
"Phineas?" Izzy asked as she held my arm.
"Yeah?"
"This kinda feels like a second first date."
"What do you mean?" I asked as I tilted my head.
"I mean if the first date is about having fun and just hanging out then we did that yesterday."
"But that was just the two of us hanging out, right?"
She looked away from me for a moment. "Well now that I think about it, it actually did qualify as a first date." She paused, "Just the two of us hanging out at the mall and movie theater, having fun with each others company."
"Well were here now, so why don't we see the movie that way it doesn't matter which one was our first." She gave me a look that said I was missing something, "It does matter, doesn't it?" she nodded and mouthed the word 'yeah,' "Well I think it would make more sense if our first date was more enjoyable than the 'we did just hung out' thing so ..."
"Don't say it's my choice Flynn."
"I think yesterday should qualify as our first date." I said quickly. "But this isn't really what I would have in mind for a second date."
"That's okay." She said as she hugged my arm. "Just make sure that our second one is better and I'll let yesterday qualify as our first."
"You don't have to worry about that." I said as we got our popcorn. Yeah, you don't have to worry about the second date at all, that's my job.
I really didn't feel comfortable with having the romantic time they spent together on date day not count as their first date. It qualifies as a first date in every sense of the word so why would they not count it? I would like to say that I can't promise frequent updates of this story until one of my others is complete. However I have come up with an idea, starting tomorrow, I'm going to fix up one of my past stories (by fixing up I mean removing spelling errors and maybe make some minor changes to make it more interesting but not changing the story). The story I'm going to fix up is "The New Girl." I will fix up one chapter per day and hopefully make it look like it wasn't done by a five year old. I'm doing this because I do want to write something everyday but I can't due to school. So this is the best I got for you.
