Phineas was smiling as he made his way back up the stairs to his room. Even though he and Isabella decided against going and "showing off their assets", the time that they spent together, just being able to talk to each other had made the time together worthwhile. Phineas opened the door to his room, finding Ferb typing into his computer.

Ferb didn't turn from the computer right away, but acknowledged that Phineas was there, waving ver the shoulder at Phineas. Phineas rolled his eyes, knowing that Ferb was too engrossed in whatever he was to talk. Phineas began to grab a change of clothing, getting into something more comfortable, a pair of gym shorts and an old t-shirt. Phineas nearly laughed as Ferb's keystrokes were getting faster and faster, knowing full well that Ferb was nearly done writing, most likely some kind of fan story, about one of his shows.

"And... done." Ferb declared, pushing the enter button on his keyboard the last time.

"Whatcha' writing?" Phineas asked, mimicking his girlfriend as much as possible.

"Writing a story." Ferb answered.

"I can see that. How many words this time?"

"Word count says a little over 5,000."

"Nice, better than anything I've ever written." Phineas flopped down on his bed, just relaxing.

"So where have you been?" Ferb asked as he saved his work.

"Hanging out with Isabella."

"Well I guess I should have assumed that one." Ferb turned and noticed Phineas' seemingly euphoria state that he was in. "Apparently something good happened while you were over there. What happened?"

"Nothing, just a really fun evening."

"So did you and Isabella... you know, do it?"

"What? No, we aren't even close to doing that."

"Huh, well from what I could tell, you two were making progress in that direction."

"And how would you know anything about that?" Phineas questioned.

"Well first off, you two have spent even more time than normal with each other. You haven't been having your... problems at night like you were before. And then you come in looking like you just had the greatest experience of your life. Those all seem like signs to me."

Phineas rubbed the back of his head as he thought. "Well, here's whats going on..."

Isabella was typing away on her computer, just browsing through this site or that. She too was in like a happy stupor like Phineas was, and was just now passing the time before she went to bed. As she was going through her list of sites, she was interrupted by a person wanting to Skype her. Instantly recognizing who the person was, she accepted the call, and plugged in the head set and mic that was lying on the desk next to her.

"Hey Isabella."

"Hey Addison," Isabella greeted while she adjusted her mic.

"Whatcha' doin'?"

"Nothing just enjoying the evening."

Addison raised an eyebrow. "You aren't spending your time with Phineas?"

"Well, we were hanging out earlier and he went home a little bit ago."

"So you and Phineas were hanging out earlier?"

"Yes."

"Alone?"

"Yes."

"Without anyone around?"

"Addison what are you getting at?" Isabella asked.

"I'm just collecting all the information I can." Addison answered.

"Oh please. That was an oddly specific set of questions."

"Just asking, but since you asked, I was trying to get to a point."

"And that would be...?"

"Did you and Phineas have sex?" Addison asked flatly.

"What? No! Of course not." Isabella defended.

"Woah, slow down. I was just asking, not a big deal. I didn't mean to poke a nerve."

"Sorry, I know that you didn't mean anything by it. That subject is just kinda touchy for me."

"I can see that. Just you know, at least in this modern enviroment that we live in, people usually have had done it by the time they have reached the time that you and Phineas have reached in your relationship." Addison explained.

"I know but if you haven't noticed, me and Phineas aren't exactly like all the normal people that have relationships. Heck, we are barely like normal people."

"Isabella," Addison called out. "Listen, remember the breathing exercises we had to learn for the 'calm breathing' patch?" Isabella nodded. "Well, now would be the time for you to remember to implement them." Isabella nodded and took a few deep breaths. "Now, you obviously are having some kind of issue. Now, would you care to explain?"

"Well, do you know whats been going on recently right?" Isabella questioned.

"Not really no."

"Alright, so from the beginning."

"Me and Isabella have been working on being more comfortable with each other with the uh, sensitive subjects. We've been just getting more used to being used to the more physical aspects. Ferb raised an eyebrow. Phineas sighed. "I got to second base."

"That's good." Ferb added.

"I know that's good. We've been having sessions where we just relax; I get to massage her chest and she is just enjoying the feeling.

"But that's as far as you've gotten?"

"Well yeah I mean I'm not trying to push anything here."

"And he's been really sweet about not pushing anything I don't want to do just yet."

"But does that make you a little uncomfortable?" Addison asked.

"Well sort of; Phineas is being surprisingly calm with me taking my time but I'm just nervous that one day that he might go too far and I won't be able to stop him."

"Do you really honestly think that?"

Isabella sighed. "No of course not; he would never do anything like that."

"So why are you going really slow?"

"I'm afraid it's just..."

"...bugging me." Phineas answered. "I'm fine with going slow but this is like achingly slow." Ferb just nodded, allowing Phineas to continue. "She's obviously being careful about things; she doesn't want anything to be too quick. I feel like we're just at a stalemate. I mean just the other day..."

"Phineas accidentally saw me naked when I got out of the shower." Addison clapped a hand over her mouth, partly to keep the gasp in, but mostly to keep from giggling like a maniac. "I really don't see how that was funny."

"Oh come on, that's one of the funniest things that I have heard about you two in probably ever."

"Fine whatever, but that isn't all."

"Your joking..." Addison had stopped laughing; she was surprised that there was more to the story."

"Well just a few days later..."

"I had come in here after the shower to put on some clothes. I'm assuming when you caused that explosion, she grabbed her binoculars to see what had happened. Then she turned and saw me in here naked, changing into clothes."

"How do you know that she saw you" Ferb asked.

"Caused she waved at me." Ferb chuckled at his brothers expense. "Then after that we had a conversation about what had happened, and now here we are."

Ferb rolled the air in his cheeks back and forth. "Well, looks like you are in a bind."

"I've noticed." Phineas replied, flopping back down on his bed.

"Look, I really don't have much to say. From all I can tell, this is something that you two are going to have to work that out."

"I know. It's just frustrating. I don't want to sound pushy, but I really think that we can make things work. I'm not asking like we go and do it right now."

Isabella rubbed her temples. "I'm just a little confused. I think that we could move forward, I'm just not sure."

Addison furrowed her eyebrows. "What exactly are you worried about?

"Honestly, I can't actually tell what you are afraid of. If anything, all you seem afraid of is being embarrassed."

Isabella bit her lip in thought. "You know, in all honesty, you're probably right. I mean, I know that nothing is going to happen unless we both agree to it."

"Have you also thought that Phineas is also probably going to be pretty embarrassed about all of this too. I doubt he's like some stupid jocks that think that 'all' of them is the best thing in the world. i bet if you really thought about it, he's probably just wanting to something to happen, but when it comes down to it, he'll be just as embarrassed about moving forward as you will be."

"I'll be honest Ferb, since you asked, I am kinda nervous about if we did move forward. I mean I can imagine about whats going to happen all I want, but I doubt that's exactly going to happen. Just because I'm a guy, that doesn't mean that I don't think about what other people will think of me, espcially about Isabella thinking about me." Phineas sighed and leaned against his headboard.

Ferb stood up and sat across from Phineas on his bed. "Look, I know you and I know Isabella. I'm pretty sure that both of you are both going to be very cautious and nervous about whatever you do next, and that's probably a good thing. I just hope that you two can find a way to make it work. It would be a shame if the progress that you have made so far would go to waste."

Phineas looked at his brother and smiled, his brother returning the gesture.

"Why does it always seem that you always know what needs to be said?"

Ferb shrugged. "Its a gift I guess. Now, it would probably be best that you two talk to each other again, this time, get really involved. Ask some questions and establish what you all are okay with and what problems you have and go from there."

Phineas sighed. "I kinda figured that was next. I thought we had established that before, but sometimes its better to keep talking." Phineas pulled out his phone and began typing away, hoping that Isabella would agree with him.

"So now lets recap what we have discovered." Addison instructed.

"I've been worried about moving forward in the physical aspect of the relationship." Isabella started.

"Alright." Addison nodded for Isabella to go on.

"And after the past few days when Phineas saw me naked and I saw him naked, I got really embarrassed, which has become my problem.

"Right, and now most important?" Addison asked.

Isabella sighed. "I don't need to be worried about being embarrassed, and that I need to be open and transparent. Also I might need to step out of my comfort zone a little so that I can farther and maybe even become more comfortable in the long run."

"Good, it sounds like you figured it out." Addison stopped as Isabella's phone went off. Isabella picked it up and answered the message. "Who was it?"

"Sounds like Phineas has figured it out too." Isabella answered.
