We played card games for a while.
Another hour or two at the most.
It was fun!

There were laughs, and giggles, -some teasing here and there- but it was all in good spirit.

After we had played a few rounds of "Spoons" the boys were hungry, so we ordered a pizza from this fancy pizza place a few buildings down that happened to deliver.

It was the best pizza I ever had, and way better than the pizza we got back at home in Danville.

I bet that stuff would taste like cardboard compared to this.

I read on the little brochure that was left in our room, that all their ingredients were grown locally and organically, and always fresh.
That's why it tastes better.

I don't think I'll ever want to eat pizza back at home again, unless I make it myself.

"Hey, want to watch a movie?" Phineas asked as I came back from the bathroom and plopped down onto his bed.

"Sure." I responded as I thought of how to set my master plan in motion.
Well, how to start planning my master plan, I still have no idea what to do.

Maybe if I managed to convince the boys to let me pick the movie, I could pick one that was a roman-
No, that's stupid.

Maybe I should just ask him why he's acting weird.
That would be easier than thinking up a complicated plan that might give me an answer that isn't correct.

"What should we watch?" I asked the boys.

Phineas was quiet for a moment.

"How about..." Phineas began as he started smiling.
"Space Adventure adventures in sp-!" He started to sing loudly as he jumped up and held his arms out dramatically.

"Shh!" I shushed, -holding a finger to my lips. "Your parents are probably sleeping in the other room." I added in a hushed voice.

"Oh. Right." Phineas said sheepishly as he let his arms drop, then he started singing it much more quietly. "Space Adventure, adventures in-!"

Thankfully, Ferb interrupted him this time with a firm, "No." from his bed.

I find it amusing that Phineas still enjoys watching those old space movies that have been around since we were kids. Maybe even before that.

He says it's because he likes to study the special effects, and all that, but everyone knows he loves more than the computer generated characters.

"But, Ferb I thought you loved those movies." Phineas said, -sounding rather disappointed as he sunk back down onto his bed next to me and looked at his brother, who simply shook his head.

"Oh." Phineas said before turning to me. "You like them, right Izzy?" He asked hopefully with pleading eyes.

Noo! I must resist! I must say no!

"I-..." I started as I looked at Ferb as an attempt to resist Phineas' blue eyes.

This morning I had given in, and I can't do it for the second time today.

Honestly, I was starting to strongly dislike those movies.
We've watched all of them so many times, I've lost count.

Ferb desperately shook his head with wide eyes as if saying, "No, don't do it. Please!"

"Not...really..." I hesitated as I brought my eyes back to Phineas.
"Not many girls enjoy space movies. Including me." I added carefully.

Phineas' eyes widened.
"Wait. Your a girl?!" He asked incredulously, -leaning closer as if to get a better look at my face.

My eyebrows shot up, and I leaned away from him.
He truly can't be serious.
"Your a girl?!"

I sighed tiredly.
"Really?" I asked in a sooo not amused tone of voice.
It was like an "are you serious?" kind of tone.

I've got my work cut out for me if I'm ever going to break his obliviousness.

I don't think Ferb could help himself.
He laughed out-loud as I stood up.
He laughed clear as a bell, and I'm sure everyone in the rooms around us could hear him.

I shot an angry glare in his direction and he stopped abruptly.
"Sorry." He muttered, -still trying to hide a smile.

"Wow. Phineas. That is not funny." I stated seriously as I stared at the white ceiling and tried not to let my eye twitch.

No wonder it's been so hard for him to notice me. He hadn't even thought of that fact that I was the opposite sex of him, and the other boys! That I was a female and he was male!

Wow. This boy...
What have I gotten myself into?

Wait. Don't answer that.

"Yeah...you know what? I'll be right back." I said calmly as I started walking towards the other room.

"No, Izzy. Wait!"Phineas said after me as he reached out and grabbed my wrist before I could go anywhere.

"It was a joke." He explained, -half laughing as he pulled me towards him.

I only gave him a questioning look.

"It was a joke. I was just kidding." He emphasized as he brought his shoulders up before letting them drop.

"Could've fooled me..." I muttered as I dropped down on the bed beside Phineas once again as I heard Ferb snicker from his bed as he kept reading his book.

I don't know exactly what it is that he finds so amusing about this, but I sure am starting to think he knows something I don't.

"It would be completely awkward if you secretly weren't female." Phineas added seriously.

I only sighed dramatically.
"Let's just watch your movie." I said,
-giving in to his idea and waving my hand dismissively as I fell back onto the bed.

"Hmm. Okay." Phineas said as he shrugged and sat up against the pillows near the head up the bed, and putting his long legs in front of him, -which almost touched my stomach even when I was at the foot, because he was so dang tall.

Phineas grabbed the remote and turned on the tv before making his way to Netflix and signing into the account the three of us shared.

I saw he had picked my profile, so I sat up and made my way to the head of the bed before sitting next to him and seeing what he was doing on there with all my girly chick-flick and romance movies, along with some comedies.

"Whatcha doin' on my profile?" I asked him almost flirtatiously -as always.

"I thought, that since all my profile has is space movies, -which you don't like- we could pick a movie from yours." Phineas explained as he held out his hand as if he wanted me to take it.

Okay. This is getting weird.
He is acting more like himself now, but...completely not like himself at the same time, and I can't figure out what it is. It so out of character for him.

Yet, I would never pass up an opportunity to hold his hand, so I didn't.

"Your acting weird." I stated suspiciously as I let our hands fall between our legs.

Phineas gave me a puzzled look before Ferb -surprisingly- spoke up.

"He's in looove." He teased with a sing-songy voice as he smirked, and looked over the top of his book.

This hit me right in the face.
Was he joking?
Maybe finding an answer to my question won't be so hard after all.

But, Ferb doesn't usually fool around, so does that mean-?

"I am not!" Phineas shot back defensively as he chose a movie, and glared at his brother.

"What?" I asked quickly, -turning my upper body to face both boys.

"Nothing." Phineas answered -quick to dodge the subject.

I'm not letting him get away with this.
I'm going to find why he's acting weird.

"Oh, no no no." I said as I shook my head and smiled. "I want to know who my best friend is in love with."

Uggghhh! I've been trying to put in this super cute part, but it's taken two chapters to get to it!
Maybe three. I don't know, but I'm getting close, I hope.

Have a great day/night!
