Ferb ran a hand through his hair. He was currently sitting on his bed with his cell phone to his ear, listening to the various comments from the girl across the street. Right now she was telling him about how her father had set her up with some boy name Paolo.

"Ferb…"

The boy ignored the whisper.

"Ferb…"

He clicked his tongue in hopes of ignoring it.

"Fer-erb…"

He snapped his head around and found Phineas sitting on his own bed staring him down. Ferb pulled the phone away from his ear before sharply responding, "What?"

Phineas tilted his head. "Who are you talking to?"

Ferb pinched the bridge of his nose and threw his head back before snapping it back into place and responding. "Isabella."

Phineas' eyes widened. "Isabella. Isabella? The girl across the street Isabella?"

Ferb frowned. "How many do you know?"

Phineas ignored his snide remark and pouted. "Wh-why'd she call you? I-I mean. What are you guys talking about?"

Ferb rolled his eyes. "Her father set her up on a date tomorrow. End of discussion." He stated before resuming back to his phone call.

Phineas froze. A date? With a boy? Not that there was anything wrong with that but…

Phineas' head shot up. "A DATE? B-b-but I thought we'd start dating together! I…don't mean that me and Isabella w-would start dating. It's j-just…you know. It'll feel weird if she has a boyfriend. Not that she shouldn't but…" he turned back to see Ferb staring at him angrily.

Phineas panted. "Ferb…do you think our relationship will be awkward if Izzy gets a boyfriend?"

Ferb smiled. "I can imagine it would…"

Isabella's muffled confusion came out of the boy's cell phone. Ferb's eyes widened, "Oh not you Isabella. Just helping Phineas solve a problem."

Problem? Ferb called it a problem.

Phineas trembled. "Ferb? Problem? You think it's a problem too right? I-I…"

SMACK.

"Owww…" Phineas said softly while rubbing his cheek. "Why'd you hit me?"

Ferb rolled his eyes and urged Phineas to continue.

"Y-yeah. It's a problem. So I'll just go over and talk this out with Izzy. W-w-wait…" He turned back to Ferb. "Isn't this the part in the cliché movie where the brother of the crazy best friend prevents the crazy best friend from going over a bothering the girl because he's holding the girl back from true love…or something like that?"

Ferb shrugged.

Phineas nodded. "Okay…just gonna go confront Izzy…no. Not confront. Just chat about her date tomorrow. No strings attached…"

And with that Phineas was rushing over to Isabella's house.

Phineas titled his head when he reached the girl's window. Was Isabella crying? He softly tapped on her window. She ran over and opened it and helped him in.

"I-Izzy. Are you alright?"

The girl looked up. "Hmm. Oh yeah. Peachy."

"So…you have a date tomorrow with Paolo. Isabella and Paolo. D-doesn't that sound a little Lizzie McGuire to you?"

Isabella giggled causing Phineas to smile wider.

"You know I think you're the only guy who can say that…"

Phineas chuckled. "Hey! That show was cool. Although I saw most of it tied up to a chair on days that Candace would babysit me but no matter."

Isabella giggled louder.

Phineas grinned. Had Isabella always been this easy to cheer up? He doubted it. Maybe she just enjoyed his company. "So. About tomorrow…"

Isabella placed a finger over his lips. "No worries. I bet Paolo's a loser anyway."

Phineas frowned. "I doubt that Izzy, he's probably-"

"Sshh…to quote you Phin, Stop doubting."

Phineas smirked. "When did you become the coolest person in my life?"

Isabella blushed and looked away but quickly turned back to face him. "The same time you became the coolest person in mine."

The two sat in silence for a while before Isabella heard her parents outside her door. Her head shot up.

"Phin, you have to go! Now!"

"Wh-what?"

Isabella was now pushing him towards her window. Phineas turned back to face her and gripped her shoulders. Isabella blushed softly. Her eyes widened as he kissed her cheek. "Wh-what was that for?"

Phineas smirked, "Just wanted to return the favor…"

Isabella blushed as she watched him climb down her window.

"Bye Izzy!" Phineas yelled waving up at her.

Isabella leaned against the window frame and sighed, "Bye Phin…"

Isabella sat on the couch as she listened to her mother.

"So. What do you think of your father setting you up with that boy?"

Isabella rolled her eyes. "I think my 'daddy' should stop meddling in my life and mind his own business"

Vivian sighed, "Roman wants the best for you."

"I've got the best for me. Don't tell me you agree with him…"

Vivian shook her head, "No. I know you love Phineas and I do not deny that he loves you but-"

Isabella cut her off. "Mama. You see this cheek?" she said pointing to her right cheek.

Vivian nodded in confusion.

Isabella continued, "This cheek just had the lovely embrace of Phineas Flynn's lips against it."

"Wait. He kissed your cheek?"

Isabella nodded smugly.

"Why couldn't you just say that?"

"Because it didn't sound romantic enough saying 'he kissed my cheek'"

Vivian frowned, "When was this?"

"A couple minutes ago."

Vivian eyes widened. "W-was he in your room?"

"Yes mama. But it was strictly PG. He's too sweet for anything more…yet."

"Yet?"

Isabella giggled, "I'm going to be an adult one day y'know."

Vivian rolled her eyes, "Fine. J-just prepare to meet that Paolo boy tomorrow."

Isabella shrugged, "Can't I just not go?"

Vivian shook her head. "No. No mi chica. But you will one day have to tell your father how you feel. You can't just expect him to go away…"

"Why not. He disappeared ten years ago. I'm sure he can do it again."

"Isa. You can't possibly mean that."

Isabella threw her hands up. "Mama, can't you see he doesn't care about me! He doesn't care about you! He's a selfish man who only cares about himself!"

Vivian shook her head. "Right now the only one being selfish is you, Isa. You refuse to even try to bond with your father."

"No. I tried. Then he responded by insulting the love of my life, insulting me, and then setting me up with some random boy despite the fact that my heart belongs to someone else! I've tried but he's too stubborn to listen!"

Vivian sighed before placing a hand on her daughter's shoulder, "Isa, I'm pretty sure you'll always love Phineas and there is nothing that could change that but remember Roman's always going to be your father. Forget about his relationship with me, he'll always be half of your genetics and that's not going to change. You're going to have to live with it Isa. But on the otherhand, you could just run away with Phineas, can you not?"

Isabella nodded.

"But I doubt he'll want to start a life with a girl if it requires both of them to be stripped away from their families. Phineas isn't going to let you run away from your problems either, Isa. Now you can either face them now, before it's too late and live happily ever after. Or you can wait until the last minute and possibly lose everything, even the man that you love."

Isabella bit her lip and wiped a tear from her eye. She clutched her knees to her chest. "M-mama, how do you know all this?"

Vivian turned back to face her daughter and smiled sympathetically. "Let's just say I learned the hard way. I don't want you to make my mistakes, Isa."

Isabella nodded as these words rang through her head.

"Don't make my mistakes…"
