Today is Saturday.

The sun is shining.

Perfect day to collect sun rays for solar panels.

Jeez, Physics has really taken a place in my head.

''Phineas? Are you done?'' A voice shouted from outside the door.

I gave my hair a little comb, which is useless, since my hair is.. well.. like that.

''Coming,'' I opened the door, revealing the fireside girls and Isabella on the wheelchair. ''Hey, you didn't wait for me!''

''Well, you were taking a long time to get ready, and Isabella was tired of getting stuck in the ward for 1 hour, when she can be doing stuff like studying.'' Gretchen rattled.

''Alright, come in, let's get you ready for your date.'' I said to Isabella.

She looked at me, puzzled.

''Huh?''

''Erm, let's just say, let the girls help you.''

''What are you talking about, Phineas?''

''Nothing much, just get changed!''

''Ok?''

She got in and the girls got themselves busy with grabbing stuff for Isabella.

Isabella just looked at them working while seated in the wheelchair.

When they were done, Isabella was just literally shining, with a pink dress.

''Perfect!'' they cried.

Isabella seemed to finally understand what is happening.

''Oh...'' 

She paused for a moment, seemed to be thinking of something and then opened her mouth.

''Phineas, can I ask you something?''

''Yeah, sure, go ahead.''

''Were you dating Gretchen while my memory was like.. haywire?''

I felt my cheeks burning.

Gretchen's too.

''No, I'm just asking, it's fine. It's not like I'm going to damn the both of you for dating.''

''Well,'' I began slowly. ''Yes, yes, we did..''

''Did you kiss?''

My cheeks really couldn't take it anymore, it felt like fire.

''Congrats, Gretchen!'' she turned towards Gretchen.

Now, its my turn to get puzzled.

What the heck is going on?

''You just earned yourself your first kiss patch!''

Oh.

''There's a patch for that too?''

''Yeah, of course. I got it.'' Isabella pulled out her sash from her belt and detached one. ''Oh, and Ginger got it too. She's just shy to show it.''

I turned towards where Ginger was supposedly was.

But all I heard was a slam of the bathroom door.

Isabella sighed.

''But you guys weren't official?''

''Of course.'' Gretchen pushed her specs up.

Isabella looked at me.

''Of course, Isabella.''
