Phineas and Isabella
Requested by: Cute as a button22 & kittycatpony
16-year-old Phineas was sitting in the coffee shop. He'd only been here for fifteen minutes but he's already on his third cup. He was waiting for Ferb and Gretchen to show up. They were all going out to the movies then dinner. 'A double-date to help ease the nerves' he begged of his brother the other day. He was also waiting for someone else. The one person to cause him so much anxiety he felt it necessary to try to drink his way through the coffee shop's menu.
Isabella walked in, smiled, waved and practically floated over to him. "Whatcha' dooin'?" She asked as she took a seat. Phineas' eyes went wide, he tried to smile back; to him it felt more like a grimace. Isabella reached over and patted his hand. "Gretchen called, they'll be here in a few minutes."
Phineas nodded. "Wouldyoulikesomethingtodrink?" He rambled. Isabella blinked at him. "Could you repeat that, a little slower please?" She said and tried not to laugh at him. Phineas tried to stammer something intelligent but couldn't. 'Why can't I talk to her today? What's so different from yesterday?' He thought to himself. 'Today she's your DATE!' His mind screamed at him.
He saw his brother's black car pull up outside. Ferb and Gretchen stepped out and headed through the door. Phineas raised his hand in greeting and Gretchen came over as Ferb went to get drinks. After just a few minutes Ferb came back with four beverages and some treats.
"Thanks Ferb." Phineas said and reached for a treat. Gretchen smiled at her boyfriend as she stepped closer to him. Ferb noticed that there were a couple of empty cups on the table. "How long have you been sitting here?" He inquired of his younger brother. Phineas checked his watch. "About fifteen minutes or so... not very long." He said rapidly, he could feel the caffeine kicking in and he was getting jumpy. Ferb's eyebrows disappeared into his hair.
As Gretchen and Isabella were talking they saw Ferb clasp something into Phineas' hand. The shorter male looked up at his brother. "What's this for?" He asked. Ferb smiled back. "Later. Trust me."
"What did you give him Ferb?" Isabella asked as she tried to see what Phineas was given. Gretchen let out a small giggle and covered her mouth with her hand.
"Ferb. I demand you tell me..." Isabella crossed her arms over her chest and looked at the British step-brother. He stood there a moment and smirked. Gretchen stepped between the two strong-willed friends. "Just a package of mints... for... later." She said with a smile as she saw both Phineas and Isabella blush.
