"Oh, Candace, dear," Linda called from upstairs.

"Yes mom?"

"Before you go, can you check on the boys if they need me to buy anything for them? I'm running to the market for more toothpicks and colored foil."

"Got it," Candace called back.

"PHINEAS!" she shouted as she walked up the giant rose. "I'm going out soon to pick up Jeremy and Mom wants to know if-" An audible crunch fell on her leaves as she suddenly came to an abrupt stop.

"Gee Isabella, we've been together for three years now and I just wanted to no fi...I can't say it like that, she'll see the typos," Phineas muttered. "Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, I've been your friend for so long and you've been mine for just as long and I was-no..."

"Phineas?" Candace quietly asked. She turned down onto the green ramp and crouched behind a yellow daffodil topiary.

"Isabella, I want to be you friend-your boyfriend-no your husband for the rest of my life. I really want this, and I hope-AGH!" Phineas grabbed his triangle shaped head and sat thinking on one of the beautiful fountains along the outskirts of the circle. "Isabella, life was so much simpler when you'd just show up and ask me, 'Whatch'a doin'?'. Can't believe that began almost 13 years ago. Isabella, getting to know you through those years were the best of my life, I can't believe that we're already at this point. Even as I talk to you confidently as your boyfriend I still get nervous talking to that beautiful girl in the amazing raven black hair with that amazingly round face and just lovely eyes and that sweet voice, I guess it's why I haven't been open about my crush for you for ten years. I know it seems impossible, but, will you marry me?"

"Just use that," Candace spoke up. Phineas jolted out of his dazed stare and turned to face his older sister. "It sounds perfectly natural, and she loves you that much. You and her belong together, it shouldn't be this difficult. Just look at her straight in the eye and speak with that confidence she fell in love with you for. It'll be much easier once she says yes."

"Thanks Candace," Phineas said with a smile. The Flynn siblings hugged tightly, Phineas thanking her vivaciously. "What are you up here for?"

"Mom wants to know if you need anything, she's going to buy supplies."

"Tell her that we need some extra vases and napkins if possible."

"MOM!" Candace yelled to the car in the driveway. "PHINEAS NEEDS SOME NAPKINS AND VASES FOR THE PARTY!"

"OK DEAR!"

"I'll head down with you, it's a sturdy structure, and Irving's watching it down the stem so we should be good, and thanks again, Candace."

"No problemo, little brother."

Hi guys, hopps here. I know it's shorter than last chapter, but I hope the quality meets up with last one. If you're wondering, the story takes place 3 years after Act Your Age, Phineas and Ferb and the gang just left college, Candace finished law-school, and linda is very much aware of the boys' adventures form when they were younger, so linda asks for their help in planning a party. Sorry if that was a bit redundant, but I didn't really say it in the story. And I'm pretty sure that I can have Isabella next chapter.

Hopping out,

Hopps
