"Isabella wait up!" Phineas turned around to see Gretchen, Adyson, and Katie running up.
"What's up?"
"What's up with you recently? We've barely heard from you and people are starting to think you're dating Phineas?" Katie asked
"I'm not don't worry. We're just good friends."
"Still if you're going to make a move on Phineas we want to hear the gossip on it. We've been waiting for this to happen since forever."
"Well as I said don't worry. Why do you girls care so much? How much do you think I like Phineas?" Phineas tried to make it sound almost rhetoric so they wouldn't suspect he didn't actually know.
"Are you kidding us chief? You wanting to date Phineas has been almost every other conversation in one way or another since we've met you." Gretchen said
"It was annoying at one point but at least there's always a goal for the fireside girls to achieve." Adyson added
"I'm surprised you still have a crush on him after all these years." Katie commented "Like it's one thing if you didn't see him every day but you do and all the times you asked him to a movie or dance and he brought Ferb. And then there was when he ignored you in Paris. Had you two not had that song at the end I would have worried for you mental health." Gretchen and Adyson gave the blond girl a look to shut her up.
"Sorry about that Isabella. Are you okay?" Phineas's head was spinning. Isabella liked him? Isabella liked him! Why did she like him, all the guys in school wanted to date her? Why didn't Phineas notice when she was asking him places? Why didn't someone tell him so he could not bring Ferb? There was so much Phineas was thinking about he finally snapped back to reality when he found Adyson shaking him.
"Hey she's coming back to us. Welcome back Isabella!" Gretchen said as Phineas emerged from his thoughts
"Yea, yea I'm fine."
"So is there any Phineas gossip you were going to tell us before you zoned out?" Phineas thought on it then smiled.
"Before this time next week, Phineas will ask me out." The girls looked shocked but nodded happily and continued to their next class. Today was Thursday. Phineas knew what he was doing this weekend as soon as he became himself.
Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella were all able to take the bus home and went straight to the Flynn-Fletcher house to do homework and hang out. Phineas was lying on Ferb's bed with Isabella in his and Ferb in a computer chair while they watched T.V. He pulled out his phone
Hey Isabella He listened as Gitchee Gitchee Goo played from the other bed. He looked back at the T.V. as he saw Isabella give him a strange look out of the corner of his eye. He turned up the volume on Isabella's phone. Out of nowhere Taylor Swift started playing. Phineas let the "You Belong With Me" ringtone play until the end.
Umm Hey Phineas. I'm in your bed lol. What's up?
Just wanted to inquire about your choice of ringtone for me on your phone Phineas watched Isabella look at the phone and turn a light shade of pink before smiling and quickly text a reply. He also noted Ferb's look of amusement at them texting behind him
Coming from someone who has "Gitchee Gitchee Goo means I Love You" set for me shouldn't be talking
Perhaps our phones are trying to tell us something.Phineas put his phone away and was just able to make out Isabella read the text and stare at him slightly confused before she put hers away too with a smile.
"Hey Ferb why don't you help me make us some food."
"You have two unbroken hands."
"Is that any way to talk to someone better looking than you?" Ferb gave him a really? face "I didn't think so. Comeon Isabella is a guy now she has to try eating everything without caring." Ferb smiled and got up with his brother. After they got downstairs Phineas trapped Ferb into the corner. "Okay Ferb how come after all these years you never told me Isabella liked me?"
"Isabella likes you?" Ferb asked innocently but with a devious smile.
"Oh don't give me that. You let me drag you all those places when Isabella was asking me. You didn't think to hit me upside the head, or directly tell me?"
"Well.." Ferb looked down a bit "Sorry bro. She wanted you to figure it out by yourself. I think she underestimated your ability to not take a hint."
"It's no problem Ferb. I can't seize yesterday any more than I have but there is always today tomorrow and every day after that." Ferb nodded slowly not knowing where his brother was going "So when I get to be a guy again I'm asking Isabella out. Think you can set up something nice for that? Dinner on the harbor or I don't know all I have is stuff from movies." Ferb put a hand on his brother's shoulder.
"You ask her out for the night after you're back to normal and I'll handle the arrangements for you. Now I believe it would be rude for us to keep that hungry boy up there waiting." Phineas nodded and began work on the food arrangements which were mainly sandwiches with as many different things on them as they could manage.
