Phineas and Ferb

Baby Adventures of Phineas

Chapter 8: The Girl Across The Street

Disclaimer: Phineas and Ferb does not belong to me. It belongs to Dan Povenmire and Jeff Swampy Marsh, who have done an amazing job with this show the past 8+ years. Here's to 8+ MORE years!

Phineas was coloring in his coloring book in the living room. There was a knock at the front door; Linda went to answer it. At the door was Vivian with her infant daughter Isabella. "Oh hi Vivian!" Linda turned to Phineas. "Phineas, Isabella's here for your playdate!"

Phineas looked up curiously from his coloring book. "Play?"

"That's right." Linda replied as Vivian put Isabella down on the ground right next to Phineas. "Isabella's been dying to come over and play with you." Isabella giggled and clapped her hands.

"Izzy!" Phineas yelled excitedly as he reached out his tiny arms and hugged the little toddler. "Can I play with Izzy, Mommy?"

"Of course you can. Vivian and I are going out to have coffee and Candace is up in her room. You two enjoy yourselves."

"And Isa, you be a good girl with Phineas, OK?" Vivian said, as the little toddler giggled in Phineas's direction. The two ladies left the house leaving the two babies in the room to interact with each other. Phineas stood up on his wobbly little legs.

"what do you wanna do?" Isabella said happily to him.

"Wait! Present!" He yelled as he raced out of the room into the backyard. In the garden, he grabbed a little flower and ran back inside and gave it to her. "Flower! For you!" He giggled as Isabella took the flower from him and smiled.

"Thank you!" She shouted and resumed giggling. "I like flower!"

"What else can I do for Izzy?" He said gleefully. "I wanna do nice things for you so you love me!"

Isabella was taken slightly aback by this. Despite her young age and underdeveloped mind, she still had a strong understanding of general concepts, like Phineas did. And that included the desire to make people happy. Isabella held her tiny arms out towards Phineas. "Hug!" She shouted.

Phineas was startled, but quickly regained composure and giggled at Isabella. "Hug!" He held out his arms as well and walked towards her. He plopped his tiny rear end on the ground and the two of them embraced warmly. "You're pretty, Izzy!"

"You're cute!" Isabella said loudly.

"What can I do for Izzy now?" He asked sweetly, still hugging the girl. "Can I make food?"

"Food?"

"Yes! Mommy always gives me food! And now I wanna give you food too!"

"Do you know how?"

"No! But I can do other things!" Phineas propped himself up and ran into the kitchen. Candace came down the stairs and found Isabella sitting on the floor.

"Hi Isabella." She said in a sweet tone. Isabella giggled as Candace approached her and picked her up. "Where's Phineas?"

"Kit-chy!" Isabella said pointing to the kitchen. "He's doing something!"

"What's he doing?"

"I dunno." She answered honestly and then laughed again. Candace carried Isabella into the kitchen and saw Phineas rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what to do.

"Phineas..." Candace said, getting the boy's attention. "What are you doing?"

"I'm making food for Izzy!" He answered cheerfully.

"What?"

"Mommy said that I had to be nice to Izzy, and I like Izzy, and I wanna be nice to her. I wanna make food but I dunno how. Candy, I need help!"

Candace laughed and walked over to her brother. She picked him up into her arms. "I've got a better idea." She carried them both out of the kitchen, up the stairs, and into Phineas's room. She set them down on the floor next to his toys. "Why don't you show Isabella your toys? I think she wants to play with you, not have you do stuff for her."

Phineas shot his gaze at Candace and laughed. "OK Candy." With that, Candace left the room to let the two infants play with each other.

When Candace returned later, she discovered her baby brother coloring with Isabella and laughing alongside her. "OK, so I drawed this!" Phineas held up his picture. It was a crudely drawn picture of a puppy. "It's a doggy! Look!" He ran over to his pile of toys and pulled out the stuff dog that was bought for him (in The Toy Store). "I got a doggy too!" He laughed. "OK, what did you draw, Izzy?"

Isabella put her crayons aside and held up her picture. It was a triangle; it was supposed to be Phineas. "Look!" She shouted. Phineas observed the picture.

"It's a triangle!" He responded, giggling.

"It's you!" Isabella said back. Phineas again studied the picture, and after a long wait he finally broke out into laughter. Isabella then pointed towards the door at Candace. Phineas turned and his face lit up.

"Candy!" Phineas shouted.

"What are you guys up to?" She asked sweetly as she walked into the room.

"Pictures!" Phineas and Isabella both held up their drawings to show Candace. She giggled.

"I see Phineas drew a puppy dog..." She said; Phineas laughed. "And I see Isabella drew a triangle."

"No no no!" Isabella shook her head rapidly, then pointed at Phineas.

"W-Ohhhh you drew Phineas." It drew another laugh from Candace. "I see now. Very cute!"

Isabella and Phineas both looked at each other before breaking out into raucous laughter. They shared a cute hug which drew an "aww" from Candace. "Candy...I'm sleepy." Phineas said as he followed it with a yawn. "Can Izzy take nap with me?" Phineas gave Candace puppy dog eyes, which drew giggles from Isabella. Candace smiled warmly and looked at Isabella.

"Isabella, Phineas needs a nap. Would you like to join him?" She asked her; Isabella's face immediately lit up and she nodded rapidly. "OK then." She picked both babies up and placed them carefully in Phineas's cribs and tucked them under the blankets. "Do you guys need anything before I let you sleep?"

"Yes! Can you give me my stuffed bear please? And you can give my stuffed doggy to Izzy!" Phineas said gleefully, looking lovingly at Isabella. Candace obliged, finding the stuffed bear and stuffed puppy and handing them to Phineas and Isabella respectively. "Thank you Candy."

"Sleep well, guys. And let me know if you need anything." Candace said as she leaned down and gave them both a kiss before leaving the room. She shut the lights and closed the door slightly, allowing them their privacy. Phineas looked at Isabella and giggled.

"Night night Izzy!" Phineas said as he followed Candace's lead and gave Isabella a peck on the cheek. Isabella soon followed and kissed Phineas before the two of them embraced each other, closed their eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

A couple of hours later, Linda and Vivian returned home. Candace explained what had happened and took them to Phineas's room to show them the sleeping Isabella and Phineas. They were pretty much how Candace left them - hugging each other and their toys and sleeping soundly, with only faint snoring from Phineas. Linda and Candace silently aww'd at the scene and took pictures with their cameras.

"Oh, aren't they just adorable?" Linda said. "Vivian, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Yes, I think those two are going to be great friends. He's so sweet." Vivian responded. "I can already hear the wedding bells."

"Don't you think you're overreacting a little?" Candace said. "I mean, they are just babies."

"Oh Candace, come on. Admit it." Linda nudged her daughter in the arm. "This tugs at your heartstrings."

"Well, it is really cute. And Phineas does like to get people to smile. I think you're right. I think they're gonna be real good friends."

"What should we do? Should we wake her so you can take her home?"

"You know what, Linda? Why don't we just leave them alone for now?" Vivian suggested which was followed by agreements by the other two. So they left the lights off and left the hallway to go back to the kitchen, extending Isabella and Phineas's private, quiet, and incredibly adorable time together.
