Isabella shifted uncomfortably in her seat. She and her father were currently sitting at a booth in a small restaurant waiting for Paolo and his father.

Isabella rested her cheek in her palm, her father was going on and on about Paolo as if he was so amazing.

"And I heard that Paolo is going to study political science too! And he's going to…"

Isabella sighed as a stranger popped his head into her view. He was about her age probably a little older; he had long flowing brown hair and sparkling hazel eyes. To say that he wasn't attractive would be lying.

However, she was in no way attracted to him.

"Hi I'm Paolo." He said confidently as he stuck his hand out.

Isabella nervously shook it. Just then, Paolo's father came to accompany them. Paolo sat down next to Isabella and she moved down swiftly. She glanced over at her father and his friend, they were currently whispering about various things. One in particular being how cute the two teens looked together.

Isabella cleared her throat and got up to grab a drink of water from the bartender. Paolo kept his gaze locked on her as he got up and followed her.

Getting annoyed, Isabella whipped her head around to face him. "Leave me alone." She sneered at him.

Paolo took two steps back but kept his eyes fixed on her. "You don't want to be here do you?"

Isabella was caught off guard. She instantly felt guilty for treating him like that. She had hardly known him as was being terribly rude.

"I-I'm sorry…"

Paolo chuckled and shook his head. "Don't be. I'm not exactly fond of this arrangement neither."

Isabella raised an eyebrow. "Why's that?"

Paolo blushed as a grin slowly crept onto his face. He nervously rubbed the back of his neck, showing the first sign of nervousness since he had arrived.

"I-I kinda…like someone…"

Isabella's eyes widened. "You do?"

He nodded. "Yeah…Magdalena. S-she's the awesomest girl in the whole world. Not to mention my best friend…"

Isabella smiled. "That's so sweet. She's the oblivious type isn't she?"

Paolo looked up in surprise. "O-oblivious? Um…yeah. How did you know?"

"I'm going through the same thing. I'm in love with the most carefree and charming boy-my best friend-and well…you know the rest."

Paolo smirked, "So we are both, how you say…friend zoned?"

Isabella gave a smirked in return yet sadly nodded. She took a deep breath before asking, "W-why don't you just tell your dad about Magdalena? He'll probably continue to harass you with dates if you don't…"

The boy raised an eyebrow, "I could say the same thing to you…"

The girl scoffed, "N-no you can't."

"And why not? You're here too are you not?"

She nodded.

"So have you told your father about your feelings towards…?"

"Phineas."

"So have you?"

"H-he knows."

Paolo folded his arms. "I take that as a no. Well why don't you?"

Isabella threw her hands up, "What do I say, huh?"

The boy frowned, "Your feelings."

The girl sighed.

"Do you love him?"

Isabella looked up, "Of course…"

"And he feels the same way, no?"

She squirmed. "I-I think so?"

He put a hand out, "Let me rephrase that. Is he willing to do anything for you?"

"Y-yeah."

"Then he loves you, no?"

Isabella smiled. "He loves me."

"Then who is your father to stand in the way of your true love? Of your happiness?"

The girl nodded. "You're right. B-but how do I…?"

Paolo shrugged. "That's for you to figure out. Now if you may excuse me I have to go tell my father about me and Maggie."

Isabella stood in shock as she watched the boy walk away. He was right. It felt weird to take advice from a stranger, however it seemed wrong not to. Phineas loved her and she loved him. Why couldn't it just be as simple as that? But no. It had to be that her father did not approve, he had to be the one who couldn't see her reason.

She shook her head before walking back to the booth.

"Y'know, You and Bella would make beautiful children." Roman stated.

Isabella scowled at this before sitting back down. Her father smiled at her but she refused to meet his gaze. She turned back to Paolo, "I thought you were telling your father…" she whispered.

He shook his head. "Not here. Later at home."

Isabella nodded.

"So Paolo, how do you feel about my daughter?"

Isabella frowned, only her father could make an awkward situation more awkward than it already was.

Paolo gulped, "She's nice. But not really my type…"

Both parents frowned.

Roman scratched his head, "Oh?"

"N-no offense to you. I-I'm pretty sure that Isabella feels the same way, right Isabella?"

The raven-haired girl stood up, "Excuse me, I need some fresh air…" The girl speed walked out to the patio. She closed her eyes and sighed. Stupid Paolo had to place her in that situation!

"Clearing your head…?"

She swiftly turned around. "Ph-Phineas?"

The redheaded boy rubbed the back of his neck, "Yeah h-hey…"

"What are you doing here?"

He smirked, "Would it sound creepy if I said I had a tracking device on you?"

Isabella grinned, "Yes, yes it would. However I think it's a sweet gesture."

He smiled. "I just wanted to make sure you were having fun on your date. Not too much fun, but y'know fun…"

Isabella rolled her eyes, "So you wanted to make sure I had fun on my date by crashing it?"

"Well…when you put it like that, It sounds like I did something wrong!"

The girl giggled into her palm. She smiled as she met Phineas' gaze. "I'm glad you came…"

"But you're on a date."

"So? This right here is the most fun I've had all night. The. Most. Fun."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah…"

Phineas smiled as he wrapped an arm around Isabella's shoulder. She looked up at him and smiled. "Now honestly, how did you find me?"

He chuckled, "Let's just say I think your mom wanted me to spoil your date…"

Isabella smiled as she rested her head on his shoulder. "You think so?"

He nodded.

Isabella giggled silently as looked up at the moon above them.

"Izzy…?"

Phineas' voice cutting through Isabella's thoughts. She turned to face him, "Hm?"

"D-do you think that maybe…I should go?"

She frowned, "Why?"

"Because you're on a date with Paolo and I-"He was cut off by her lips on his. When she finally pulled back he stood in shock.

She placed a finger over his lips. "Correction. I'm on a date with a charming boy named Phineas Flynn."

He smiled as he leaned against the railing. "Is that so?"

Isabella blushed, "Too straight forward?"

Phineas laughed, "Actually…no. But enlighten me. I-If you like me? Which you do, right?"

She nodded.

"Then why are you on a date with another guy?"

Isabella froze. He was right, here she was being completely inconsiderate to his feelings as well. "It's complicated…but wait. Y-you like me too?"

Phineas sighed. "I-I don't know. I think I do. I mean I'd do anything for you Isabella, now if that means I like you then I do. This entire thing is new to me, however, I know that when I stand close to you or when you kiss me I get this weird tingly feeling. And you wanna know the freakiest part? I kinda like it."

Isabella blushed before hearing her father call for her. Her eyes widened as she turned back to Phineas, "I-I gotta go. See you…"

"Tomorrow?" He added.

She nodded as she bit her lip, Phineas noticed but didn't comment he just gave her a small smile as watched as she hurried off to her father. He frowned. Something was bothering her and he was determined to find out.


Author's note: Sorry for not updating sooner guys! I've been super busy but anyway you can kinda think of Phineas and Isabella as kinda a couple right now...it's complicated. And to add insult to injury, that was originally supposed to be Ferb who she sees on the patio but I felt like putting in a mushy-romantic moment so I replaced our loveable green-haired Brit with his equally adorable American stepbrother. So yeah, I'll try to update as soon as possible but don't hold me to it! So anyways, thanks to all my readers and reviewers (and all my fans/supporters on deviantart) so yeah, thanks and enjoy!
