Caught in a Storm: A Phinabella Story

Chapter 1: To The Park!

It's a normal summer Sunday and Phineas and Ferb, with the help of their best friend and neighbor Isabella, had finished their project of the day. Today's invention was a super-powered metal detector that locates buried metals and retrieves them upon command. That's what it was planned to do. However, they had not gotten a chance to use it because it was mysteriously vaporized by a stray beam from way off in the distance.

"Huh. I expected something like this would happen, but not before we would at least get to use it..." Said Phineas. Even as a boy of 11 years, he and his 12 year old step-brother Ferb had created countless amounts of inventions that either defied the laws of gravity, physics, or something else that proves nothing was impossible to those with creative minds.

Of course, almost none of their inventions would've been completed without the help of the 12 year old Isabella. She would walk through the gate to the boys' backyard and ask "watcha doin?" in a cute and somewhat flirty way. She also has a major crush on Phineas, who seems to be far too oblivious and/or wrapped up in his work on the daily project to notice, much to Isabella's disappointment. She never gives up, hoping one day he'll catch on.

Disappointed, Ferb looks at Phineas with a questioning look, as if asking what to do next. Phineas goes over to him and whispers "Start drawing up some ideas for tomorrow. I have something I need to take care of." Ferb nods and walks into the house, still disappointed.

As disappointed as his brother, Phineas slumps against the tree in the backyard and lets out a sigh. "I wonder why our inventions disappear every day? It's like something or someone just keeps blasting them every day..." He says. Isabella decides to sit next to him, not TOO close, and says "Yeah it's really weird. But I guess you should count yourself lucky sometimes. You would probably get in big trouble if your mom saw any of them." Phineas chuckles at this, causing Isabella to smile slightly.

"I don't see why Candace makes such a big deal out of it, it's not like we're hurting anyone." He points out. Isabella nods in agreement. They sit there for a few moments in a slightly awkward silence. Then Phineas asks "Hey you wanna go to the park or something?" As he stands up and reaches his hand out towards her. Though surprised by his sudden offer, she calmly replies "Sure, beats sitting here all day." And grabs his hand as he helps her up. As they walk towards the gate, Isabella notices that they're still holding hands. She blushes slightly as she notices and wonders to herself why he didnt let go yet. Not that she wanted him to, she was enjoying every second of it.

As Phineas was leading Isabella to the park, he, too, noticed that he hadn't let go. However, he wasn't wondering why. He was doing it on purpose, and glanced back to see Isabella smiling and blushing slightly. Her eyes met his for a second and he smirked slightly right before she looked away, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Was he... Smirking?" Isabella thought. "Is he planning something?"
She realized she said the last part out loud, and hoped Phineas didn't hear it. He did, however, and simply responded "Yes. Yes I am." and turned and smiled at her as they reached the park. Hearing him say that the way he did and seeing his smile eliminated any worries Isabella may have had.

Chapter 2: All This Time

The park was surprisingly empty, almost no person in sight. They stopped near a tree away from the few people that were there. Phineas sat down, and Isabella did the same. He let go of her hand, much to her dismay, and sat with his hands folded.

"You took me to the park just so we could sit under a tree?" Isabella asked, slightly ticked off because they could've just sat in his backyard. "Well I thought that we could sit back and enjoy the beauty around us, not being surrounded by fences and a house."He replied. Isabella was about to say something but decided not to. "He has a point... It is beautiful out here. " She thought to herself. "The pretty flowers, the peaceful scenery, the-" her thoughts were interrupted by an arm wrapping around her. Phineas' arm. He had apparently moved closer to her while she was thinking. She blushed and smiled widely, and Phineas, noticing, smiled too. Neither spoke a word for a few minutes.
