A/N: Here's part 2 of the Christmas special the gang have prepared. Once again, expect some Phinbella fluffiness as well as some funny interruptions to their romantic exhibitions. XD Also, this date marks the 2nd anniversary of this fanfic which I started as a 1st person POV type.
*Christmas Eve, 8 PM*
The place was set and the crowds started to pile up at the Flynn-Fletcher's driveway, mostly neighbors and friends from downtown. Cars and trucks piled up their side of the street and the gang knew they were in for a big night. They were used to big crowds – from the backyard beach to the 'Wipeout' style game show they've pulled off. Baljeet, Ginger, Buford, and Milly were at the front yard, doing a headcount of the crowd.
"There must be over a hundred people here!" Baljeet exclaimed.
"I still don't get why we'd host a big ass party in Phineas and Ferb's backyard, it's too small!" his girlfriend riposted.
"If they can build a full blown miniature golf course here, parties like this are easy peasy!" Buford chimed in, "Besides you were the one who suggested this damn party in the first place!"
"He's got a point, you know." Milly agreed, earning her a death glare from the Japanese teen. "What?!"
"By the way, have you seen Bella tonight? Damn she's acting all weird and nervous, it's so not her!" Ginger added.
"Well, we are young adults now honey. We try to act all professional and sometimes we do things we're not used to doing." Baljeet reasoned.
"Come on Ginger," Milly grabbed her friend's arm as they went to the backstage. "I think they're about to line up at the stage now."
. . .
At the backstage, all the ex-Fireside girls in the gang, plus some additional girls from another troop in Danville, have already positioned themselves for the opening act. They were all wearing 'Santa's Elves' outfits with the red noses and jester style shoes. Bella, being the leader of the troop, was pacing back and forth, muttering stuff to herself about not messing up her act. Phineas who was the DJ, was also backstage when he saw the abnormal activity of his girlfriend.
"Babe, stop. You're gonna be alright out there. I love your outfit by the way." He held Bella by her shoulders to stop her from fidgeting around.
"Well I don't. It's quite itchy wearing this body hugging crap you know?" Bella complained, trying to loosen the outfit's sleeves.
"You could wear anything or nothing and you're the only one I'll have my eyes set."
"So you want me to strip off in front of them?" she smirked.
"Of course not!" Phineas blushed, "I mean, if it's just you and me maybe we could do a little dry run?" he smiled seductively, brushing his lips against hers. It was a quick kiss as they didn't want any third party intervention interrupting their love dovey moment. Unfortunately, Adyson came barging in, which prevented them from going even further.
"Alright make out time is over Phineas." she retorted, ushering the redhead out of the backstage.
"Hey! I'm the DJ here, why you pushing me out?" he complained before grabbing the brunette's arms off his waist.
"Because we need Bella to keep herself in check. The last thing I'd see you two doing here is a quickie." the short brunette rolled her eyes. Ever since they were kids, Addy was always that one girl in the gang who's got a brash mouth, saying some clever albeit snide one-liners. The rest of the girls looked away, pretending they didn't hear their fellow Fireside comrade.
"She need me to calm down for later. What part of boyfriend energy don't you understand?" Phineas asked mockingly as Adyson walked away.
"Ahh, don't you bother with her." Holly interjected, "She'll never understand until she actually gets hooked up." The rest of the girls laughed. Once Baljeet radioed them that everyone was already inside, that was their cue to start.
The crowd was all settled inside, waiting for the opening act so they can eat. Just then, the main lights went dim, smoke started to creep from the stage, music began playing, and the stage lights danced in the dark environment.
"GOOD EVENING DANVILLE! ARE YOU READY TO PARTY?" Phineas announced through a vocoder that made his voice more techno-geeky.
The crowd cheered once the smoke settled and a spotlight revealed the girls in their outfits on stage. Phineas, or DJ Red Fox as he's known tonight, plugged in a medley of upbeat Christmas songs for the girls' dance number. The dance itself wasn't too modest, at the same time it wasn't too sexy to be classified as night club dancing. Once they've finished, a round of cheering and applause erupted from the crowd, almost drowning out the background music.
After a couple of icebreakers, courtesy of Baljeet and Buford, Phineas announced that it was time to eat. "Alright guys, before we continue our program, let's feast ourselves to the buffet we have over to the sides!"
As he heard the crowds head toward the buffet tables, the redhead remained in his sound booth. Being the DJ, he constantly had to switch up the music he was playing so he waited for the lines to clear up before he can get his food. It had its perks; the main one being able to grab as much food as he wants without fuss. Just as he left his booth, Bella came beside him with two plates for herself and his.
"Here ya go DJ Red Fox," she smirked, sitting down on a unused equipment case. "I saved your butt from the damn lines out there."
"Thanks babe." he replied as he kissed her forehead.
. . .
The rest of the party went smoothly as everyone was in the holiday spirit. Gifts were exchanged, beer was drunk, and songs were sung in the stage as they waited out for the clock to strike midnight. Some people who only attended for the eating and performances left early with only a handful of people remaining for the countdown. As the party started to die down in terms of noise, save for the occasional make out session, the big timer on top of the stage showed only 1 minute til midnight and that prompted everyone to be on their feet waiting for it to be officially Christmas day.
"3, 2, 1, MERRY CHRISTMAS!" everyone cheered once the clock turned midnight. Fireworks started to shoot towards the sky, displaying a brilliant show of lights to the awestruck crowd. It's been a long while since anything big happened at the famous backyard and the gang sighed happily at the nostalgic moment. Those who were still single cuddled together for a group hug while those who were taken gave their respective loved ones a tight embrace coupled with a warm kiss.
"Feels like we're 8 year old's again." Bella smiled, face to face with her redhead boyfriend.
"Yes, yes it does," he agreed. "Merry Christmas babe." Inching closer, he instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist
Before Bella could reply, Phineas saw a mistletoe overhead and pulled her in for a Christmas kiss. Their needy mouths can't seem to live without each other's touch and taste and it went into a full blown make out session. Once they pulled out for air, the rest of the gang were watching intently at the couple, who gave them confusing looks.
"Uhm..." Ginger started, words didn't seem to be able to describe what had happened.
"What's with the weird looks guys?" Bella raised an eyebrow. The group suddenly left, with only Gretchen staying behind.
"I guess they're not as used to you two getting hot and high like I do." she shrugged.
"Sometimes I think we owe you an apology for going at it like that with you around." Phineas grinned, rubbing the back of his neck. The tall nerdy brunette waved her hand in protest.
"No need for that," Gretchen continued, "Just don't go do some stuff that I wouldn't do like…you know."
Instantly realizing what she meant, the couple blushed in embarrassment before staring at one another, then back to Gretchen. "I...I have no idea what you're talking about girl." Bella denied, but the cherry red tint on her cheeks proved it otherwise. They've never even seen each other naked, let alone have a one night stand.
"Oh well I've got to go now. Merry Christmas to y'all!" Gretchen waved goodbye to the couple as she headed for home.
Bella woke up to the sight of a snoring Phineas in his room. They have slept together while in campus numerous times as she felt protected in the embrace of her lover's arms, toned from all the mechanical stuff he works on at the bus shop. He also gained some weight over the past 4 months that they were dating, transforming from a lanky teen to a young man sporting a dad bod; he wasn't downright fat but at the same time he also packed some muscle in there. She loved him for it as it made his body much more suited for cuddling. Took him 10 years and a girlfriend to start packing up some weight. she often noted to herself; after all, she didn't love him just because of his body, that was only a bonus.
When she tried to get up, she noticed that her arm was tangled with his arms, not letting her go; ever since they started sharing the same bed, Bella discovered that Phineas had been the more clingy one in bed in contrast to her being clingy while in public. He would constantly cling to her arm, wrap a leg around hers, or bury his face against her strawberry scented raven hair.
"Mmm," he groaned, tightening the grip on her arm. "S–stay please?"
"I guess that can be arranged. You have a warm bod after all." Bella said.
The couple stayed in that position for a while longer until Vanessa barged in to inform them about breakfast. Unknown to the two girls, the brothers had a prior talk about spending the morning here in their house while the afternoon would be spent in the other house; in Bella and Vanessa's case, would be across the street and her dad's penthouse downtown, respectively.
"Morning guys! Ferb said breakfast is ready." she smiled. While she didn't attend last night's party, the tall curvaceous brunette arrived a few minutes ago to spend time with her green-haired English boyfriend.
. . .
Breakfast came and went without a hitch, as the Flynn-Fletchers' table was packed. Candace had arrived a few hours after the party was over from her law school in Boston, and they were a complete family once again. She told her stories about finding her true self in law school, as she initially disliked her course. Not wanting to waste the funds put onto her studies, Candace persevered on and slowly but surely, she started to like the idea of being a lawyer. Afterwards, Ferb told his experience of studying back in London. He even hinted at wanting Vanessa to move in with him, much to her delight. She currently works as the HR manager of her dad's bus company – DE Transport Inc; unfortunately, her position made it near impossible to leave and find another one overseas.
As for Phineas, everyone was jumping on him about how he finally got Bella. For the most part, the ravenette Latina told her side of the story, while her boyfriend tried his best not to cringe, to his siblings' amusement. The rest of the day had the couple experience a lot of firsts and that's what they loved about this particular Christmas. They might've spent the holidays together for the past 10 years but this was their first time as a couple in love, without their friends' intervention.
"So how was your first Christmas with me?" Phineas asked, stroking Bella's long raven hair that still had faint blonde highlights from the freshies party. They were at the latter's bedroom, reflecting about their adventures for today.
"You meant our first Christmas as a couple? Pretty damn good, you are the only gift I'd need any holiday." she sighed, then gave him a warm loving kiss. It was her first time initiating a kiss on the lips; usually Phineas was more forward with her but with all her love pouring out for this guy, she wanted to show him that she can be a romantic.
Only pulling out for gasps of air, Phineas found his hands underneath Bella's blouse. With her guiding hands, he started to undress her, not breaking eye contact. A few articles of clothing later, they cuddled together naked. Their bare skin touching against one another, sending feels of love and ecstasy as Phineas kissed her neck; Bella moaning in delight. He continued to caress every inch of her body, knowing his limitations. She felt his calloused hands rather comforting and it made her sleepy – that was their cue.
"I love you, my red fox." Bella murmured with her eyes already closed. She lay on top of her boyfriend, head resting against his warm chest.
"I love you more babe." he replied, giving her one last kiss on her hair.
Bella and Phineas slept happily in each other's embrace; little do they know, that kiss on her neck would become noticeable the next day.
