Upon reaching high school and the height of teenage hormones, Phineas and Isabella's friends were quick to accuse the pair of being a couple.

Phineas denied the allegations, stating that he and Isabella had agreed to remain 'just friends.'

Isabella didn't recall such a conversation.

She was disheartened, understandingly. At the time, she had paled considerably, but said nothing. Phineas didn't seem to take notice.

Their friends had simply brushed them off, snorting in disagreement, stating, "Yeah, we'll quote you on that at your wedding."

They did.
