''Ah.. Ferb, what exactly are we going to do today?''

Resting under the tree in our backyard seems like what we do every summer.

''Bye boys, I'm going to the mall to buy some things, then I'll head over to Isabella's mum's tonight. You wanna come along later?'' Mum winked, while walking to the car.

''Sure, sounds great to me.''

''Alright then, get ready by 6. I'll see you boys later.''

''Hey Ferb, what are we exactly going to do today?''

Ferb shrugged and took out his assignments.

''Hey Ferb, put those away, we have next week to do it!'' I held up a timetable and pointed to next week, where there was a strike, stating: Homework week .

Ferb put those away. ''Then what are we going to do?''

''I dunno.''

''Exactly'' He extended his hands back to his homework pile.

''Wait Ferb,'' He looked up. ''I know what we're going to do today.''

''Does it involve Isabella?''

''H-How'd you know?''

''You are looking at her house, duh.''

Both of us got up and crossed the street to our across-the-street girl neighbour.

Rapping the door 3 times, Isabella answered in her fireside uniform.

''Hey Phineas, what'cha doin'?''

''Huh, since when have you stopped using my pet name?''

''I dunno, probably because I miss saying your full name. Come in''

She gestured us to the living room.

She sighed.

''Take a seat.''

Sitting down in the living room that I occasionally visit brings back certain memories I had with Isabella, like planning blueprints, eating her mum's famous lasagna, sleeping with her on the couch.. Hey, where'd that last part came from?

''So Izzy, what's wrong? You look kinda depressed..''

''No, its just that my entire extended family is coming over tonight because of some stupid family gathering''

''And what's wrong with that? And your skirt...''

She looked down and pressed down her skirt.

''Sorry you had to see that.. It's the skirt I have been wearing since 12'' she blushed deeply. ''Anyways, it's just that, my cousing Jerry is coming over, and I hate it when my mum compares my achievements with him! Blah Blah Blah.. Jerry got 100 for his trigonometry test.. Blah Blah Blah.. my Isa only got 87.. Blah Blah Blah.. you should learn more from him.. Blah Blah Blah.. marrying him would be a better choice than Phineas..''

''Was that last part your opinion or what your mum says?''

''Just exaggerating.''

''So.. you.. don't like me?''

''No! Just that.. you know, he's so smart.. I wish I can just forget about him!''

''Then what's with the fireside uniform?''

''Oh, we just came back from our meeting. I was planning to take a shower. Anyways, have you seen my diary? I've been trying to find it yesterday.''

''Is it the one that is pink in colour and some crumpled pages because of tears?''

She covered her mouth.
