Song used: Dress and Tie by Charlene Kaye featuring Darren Criss.

"So. A karaoke night huh?" Phineas drummed his fingers on the steering wheel as he pulled up to Isabella's house. He put the truck in park, looking over at his friend. He smirked. "I dunno Izzy; doesn't sound like much of a friend date to me."

"It's a great friend date!" She returned the smirk. "Unless of course you don't think it's a great friend date because you're scared I'll out karaoke you."

He snorted. "Oh come on Isabella." He pointed to himself. "We both know who the real karaoke champ is."

"We'll see. There's a first time for everything, remember?"

"We're talking about your plans here, not mine."

Isabella reached across the front seat, gently shoving him. "Very funny. See, my plans are the ones that never fail."

"Technically, it didn't fail; we still got into the yacht club that night."

"Whatever."

The red head chuckled. "Okay Izzy. Karaoke night. What do I have to do?"

"Pick me up in an hour."

"Fair enough. Anything else?"

"One more thing…" her eyes trailed upwards to the mud stained backwards baseball cap. "We dress up. Slacks and tie for you, dress for me."

"Ugh. Izzy, why? Can't I just wear what I'm wearing?" He motioned to the jeans and orange and white striped hoodie.

"No. My terms this time, remember?"

He sighed. "Fine." He went to say something else, only to start as his best friend reached across the front seat again, plucking the baseball cap off his head. "Hey!"

"I'm also holding this hostage until after tonight. No hats allowed."

Phineas gave an exaggerated groan, staring at her. He chuckled. "Wow Izzy; when you plan a friend date, you plan a friend date. I tend to just wing it."

"I've noticed. Which is surprising for you." She twirled the hat on her finger, unbuckling before opening the door and hopping out. "See you in an hour?"

"See you in an hou—wait a second."

"What?"

"What are we going to sing? I mean, we should at least sing one duet tonight right? You know, after I beat you."

"A duet?" Isabella blinked at him, her cheeks pinking.

"Izzy? You alright?"

She shook herself. "Yeah. F-fine. Duet song. Uh…"

"Here." The red head turned on the radio. "First song that comes on, we sing as a duet. How's that?" She nodded wordlessly, ears perking up as a song came over the speakers.

Every night I walked the streets
never dreaming what could happen…

"Huh. Dress and Tie."

"You know that song?"

"Kinda. I hear it on the radio a lot." Phineas motioned to the speakers. "Will that work?"

Sad and so lonely
I saw in the mirror my reflection…

"Y-yeah. That should work." The teenager shook herself again. "Yeah. That'll definitely work."

"Cool." He smiled as Isabella shut the passenger door and he rolled down the window, slowly pulling away from the curb. "Bye Izzy; see you in an hour."

"Bye Phin." She smirked as he drove down to the end of the street, making a U-turn in the middle before driving back up, pulling into his driveway. Isabella waited until he was inside the house before turning on her heel, running up the front walk and into the house.

"Isa? Is that you?"

She paused, one foot on the staircase. "Yeah Mom!"

"How was Phineas?"

"Good!"

"How was school—"

"Sorry Mom! Phin and I have a friend date tonight; I have to get ready!"

Vivian smiled, shaking her head as her daughter ran upstairs. "Ah friend dates. Hopefully they will turn into more soon."

"What to wear, what to wear, what to wear…" Isabella rummaged around in her closet, throwing various outfits onto the bed. She pulled a pink dress from a hanger, studying it. "Ugh. So six years ago." She dove back in, tossing out several more outfits. "It has to be perfect; I can't just wear anything." She plucked another dress from a hanger, holding it up. "Hmmm…"

She stood up, pulling on a green summer dress. She studied herself in the mirror, singing. "I'll wear that dress if you wear that tie and Phinny we'll dance through the night—" she giggled, pulling the dress over her head and tossing it to the side. "Nope. I need something else."

Isabella stepped back over to the closet, pulling aside several different outfits before her eyes landed on something in the very back. "What's this?" She reached a hand back, grabbing the piece of clothing and bringing it out to the light. "Oh yeah; I forgot about this dress!" She grinned, holding it to her before twirling back to the mirror.

Cause no one's got what we've got going

"Happiness never held onto me until you helped me see, that together we're just better off." She grinned, throwing the blue dress over her head, studying herself once more. Her grinned widened. "Perfect."

"Oh my heart's been tried time and again, I always thought that it was me but—" Phineas paused, placing a tie, slacks, and dress shirt on his bed. "Why am I singing that?" He shrugged. "Oh well; must be stuck in my head from earlier." He unbuttoned his jeans, stepping out of them as he grabbed the slacks from the bed, pulling them on.

"I've never been more sure that you're for me. Izzy please don't—" he laughed. "Wow; that's really stuck." He walked back over to his bed, grabbing the dress shirt and buttoning it up as he looked in the mirror. He removed the tie from over his shoulder, making sure it was tied properly. "I'll wear that dress if you wear that tie and baby we'll dance through the night, cause no one's got what we've got going—" he pulled down on the knot, making sure it was tight. He grinned. "There. Perfect."

Don't be cruel to me
oh I've wanted more
but I've been wrong before—

Phineas cut the engine as he pulled to a stop in front of Isabella's house, making sure the truck was in park before climbing out. He walked up the front walk, doing a quick dance step before ringing the doorbell. "So much learning to lose—"

Isabella opened the door a second later. She grinned up at him. "But you're not a day to soon."

"So say you feel the same and we'll never be lonely anymore." The two sang the line in unison.

He laughed out loud. "You too huh?"

"Yeah. Catchy song." She stepped out onto the front porch, closing the door behind her before digging around in her purse. "Now where did I put my keys?"

"Catchy song, or were you just practicing for later?"

She smirked. "Who says you weren't practicing? Even though I'm definitely going to beat you. Oh, here they are."

"You clean up nice Izzy."

Isabella locked the front door, turning around to face him. "So do you." Phineas stared at her a moment. "Ph-Phineas?" He grinned, grabbing her hand and practically hauling her down the front walk towards the truck. "Phin, what are you doing?!"

"I wanna see what you have planned for tonight." He stopped outside the truck, opening the passenger side door. "After you."

"Thank you very much." She climbed inside, buckling in as he closed the door, coming around to the other side and jumping in. "Why do you always do that?"

"Do what?"

"Jump inside."

He shrugged. "Why not jump inside? It's more fun that way." He turned on the engine, slapping the radio off before pulling onto the road. "Okay Izzy, where are we going?"

"It's a surprise."

"Well I know that." The red head blew a raspberry as he pulled onto the main road. "But I need to know where I'm driving in order for us to get there."

"Don't ask questions." She reached over, gently shoving him. "Keep driving and I'll give you directions. You'll see when we get there."
