For the past few years now Isabella Garcia-Shapiro has had a strange reoccurring dream. She did not have it every night, sometimes she would have it several nights in a row and then not have it again for a few months. She dreamed that she and Phineas, and a few of their friends were in a laboratory type room, and they were all waiting for something to happen. While waiting Isabella grabs Phineas and kisses him, and just as Phineas tries to tell her something important a great white blinding light fills her vision and she wakes up.

Although Isabella had never seen such a room she imagined that this is how her first kiss would happen. She had almost given up on such an event happening with Phineas because they had started hanging out more often, just the two of them, and just as friends. She had always kept hope though, because around the same time these dreams began, Phineas had started acting strange around her. Some days he would hug her as soon as he saw her, other days it seemed as though he had to use all his will power to not look at her.

Isabella was glad all that was in the past. Phineas had kissed her, and it was better than all the first kisses she had imagined. Phineas was going to be her boy friend, and he would buy her stuff and take her nice places. Isabella knew she had Ferb to thank for her good fortune; he had undoubtedly convinced his brother to decide how he felt.

Isabella had thought the night before was a dream until she had received a text message from Phineas shortly after ten am. It was short, and sweet. It read; Good morning. Isabella could not think of more two perfect words. Isabella had squealed with joy causing Pinky to jump off the bed in alarm.

"Phineas kissed me last night!" she told the stunned Pinky, "and I'm going to be his girlfriend!"

Isabella had a quick shower and breakfast and was now on a three way call with Gretchen and Adyson.

"-and then, he kissed me" Isabella said with a dreamy look on her face.

"On the lips?" Gretchen asked eagerly.

"Yup"

"Lucky" Gretchen cooed.

"Ya, at least the guy you like has finally noticed you." Adyson added angrily.

"Oh, ya, 'bout that..." Isabella began

"Don't tell me, he's on the other team..."

"What? NO! Adyson, it's not like that, it's just there's this really pretty older girl and well I saw them together last night and..."

"Ah, No! I don't want to hear it, lalalalala, not listening, lalala..." Adyson had liked Ferb for a few years now and she did not want to hear about him liking another girl.

"Fine I won't tell you." Isabella said rolling her eyes at her friends' dramatics.

"I want to know" Gretchen asked eagerly, she was a bit of a gossip hound.

"Tell us about the kiss?" Adyson asked hoping to change the topic.

"Umm, ok, it didn't last very long, but his lips were very soft." Isabella suddenly felt uncomfortable, she didn't want to explain the electric shock she had felt when Phineas had grabbed her hand, or how she shivered all over when he had kissed her, it was all very personal, her most sacred treasure.

The sound of a car coming down the street caught her attention and she walked over to the window. It was the van that belonged to the weird doctor guy, Isabella watched as the beautiful brunette from the night before got out of the van and walked through the gate into the yard.

"Hello, Earth to Isabella..." Gretchen was trying to regain her friends' attention.

"Wa-what?" Isabella asked stunned, she had forgotten her friends were on the phone; Vanessa's arrival at the Flynn-Fletcher house had captured her attention.

"What's going on girl you just zoned out on us?" Adyson asked.

"Oh, nothing, listen girls I'll call you later, stuff to do."

"Oh, sure, bye."

"Bye Isa."

Isabella hung up and got ready to go over and visit Phineas, or as she liked to think of him, her boy friend. Today she had on black capris and a pink flowing top, and her pink converse. By the time she was ready to go over Vanessa had long since gone.

"Whatcha doin'"? She asked walking through the gate.

Phineas was lying on a lawn chair under the tree that dominated the backyard, he was reading one of his many books for his AP English class. A small stack of books were also placed beside the chair, and on top of that rested a glass of lemonade.

"Hey Isabella" he said with a smile, looking up from his book. "I'm doing some of my reading, need to finish this book for tomorrow, but I'm almost done."

"Oh, well that's good."

"You look very nice today." Phineas complimented her

This made Isabella blush deeply, "thank you."

"Would you like a glass of lemonade?" he asked her.

"sure."

Phineas placed a bookmark in his book to hold his place, and set the book down on the lounge while he went inside to fetch a glass of lemonade for Isabella.

"Hello Isabella."

Isabella jumped as the voice pulled her from her thoughts. "Oh Ferb you scared me."

"Sorry, I just wanted to say I'm happy for you."

"Aw thank you, but you know I couldn't have done it without you."

"I know." Ferb said with a smile.

The two friends laughed and Isabella suddenly felt more at ease. She understood why Adyson liked Ferb, he was kind, and understanding, and a great listener. However she had seen the way he had looked at Vanessa the night before and knew that she herself had probably looked like that while staring at Phineas. She wanted to say something encouraging, something like "I'm sure she likes you too," but even saying the words inside her own head sounded hallow and untrue. Thankfully she didn't have to say anything because Phineas had just returned with her glass of lemonade.

"Thank you." Isabella said taking the cool glass from Phineas, surprising herself by not dropping it.

Ferb observed the interactions between the awkward couple in amusement. Suddenly it seemed they no longer knew how to relax around each other anymore even though they had been doing it for years. With a secret smile on his lips Ferb walked off to enjoy his brother's frustrations in private, and wondered what Vanessa might be up to.

Vanessa entered her father's apartment to find it in a disastrous state. Papers still floated about the room and landed on top of the debris left behind by her father's inator. Vanessa stood in the door way mouth gapping open.

"Dad?" she finally called out, "are you in here?"

A nearby pile of papers suddenly shook violently as her father's head emerged from the wreckage.

"Oh, hello Vanessa, and you brought me my pan back too!" said Doof to his daughter.

"Ah, yeah, your pan and van, back home safe and sound." Vanessa said with a smile. "Here dad, let me help you out." Vanessa laid down the pan on a nearby table then proceeded to pull her dad from the pile of paper and debris.

"Thank you Vanessa." He said sounding more defeated than usual.

"No problem dad. So what was it today?" not that she actually cared but Vanessa knew it made her dad feel better if she appeared to take an interest in what he was doing.

"Well actually it was kind of something for you." He admitted.

"Oh?" Vanessa asked with genuine curiosity. Since when did her father's crazy inventions ever centre on her?

"Yeah, I was trying to find you the perfect guy so your heart would never be broken again." Doof was too defeated to think of a good lie, he felt like being honest was the right thing to do for once.

Vanessa was taken aback, she couldn't remember the last time her father had put herself before his own needs.

"Oh, dad, that's a sweet thought but, that is all part of life. Felling sad is just as important as felling happy." Vanessa explained. "I am old enough to make my own decisions, and I have no intentions of diving into another relationship, you have to promise me you won't interfere in my relationships again."

"I-I promise." Dr. Doofenshmirtz said in his defeated tone.

"Okay, good, now let's get this mess cleaned up." Vanessa said with an encouraging smile.

"Oh good, we can try out my new clean-up-inator!" the doctor exclaimed with glee.

Vanessa merely rolled her eyes.
