Isabella POV

We ran into the theater just in time. All of the extensive trailers and advertisements had finished, and the first scene was just opening.

The theater was packed with teens eagerly waiting to see the new release, and normally, we would have no chance of finding a place to sit together. Luckily, I had two seats reserved just for us. I glanced at the ticket stubs to find where are seats were located.

"Our seats are G7 and G8," I told Phineas, and he (still holding my hand) led me up the stairs until he found row G. I spotted Ginger and Milly sitting several rows up, but decided to ignore them to have a better chance of romance with Phineas. I wasn't trying to be a bad friend or troop leader, it was just that this oppotunity came, on average, less than once a year. I figured I would make it up to them later.

To get to our seats, we had to make our way through the crowded aisle. As we maneuvered around the people, I couldnt't help but envy the many couples I saw snuggled up against each other. It was possible that that could happen with Phineas and me, but even after the popcorn incident, that scenario was highly unlikely.

After we finally reached our seats, we situated ourselves in them and I realized that there was a problem with my view of the movie screen. A very tall man was sitting in the seat in front of me, and even though my seat was higher than his, I was still unable to see the majority of the screen. I stretched and fidgeted in my seat to get a better view, to no avail. I could have sworn this man was related to Candace; his neck was as long as Ferb's head.

I first thought about moving to another seat, but quickly threw it out. If I moved, I wouldn't get to sit next to Phineas and would defeat the whole purpose of going to the movies.

I then had a brilliant idea (or at least I thought it was brilliant): I could watch Phineas watch the movie! I was quite excited about this plan until I realized that Phineas might think that it would be strange if I was staring at him for two hours straight. I unwillingly pushed the idea aside and pondered some more on what to do.

I then got my best idea yet.

"Phineas," I whispered, slightly blushing. "I can't see the screen at all because of the tall guy in front of us. D-do you think I could scoot over next to you so I can see?" I already knew the answer but I waited for his response anyways.

"Sure Isabella!" he exclaimed a little too loudly, and somebody behind us shushed him. "I mean, sure, that's fine," he whispered back, and he moved the armrest between our seats back up and out of the way.

I smiled and thanked him, then moved right up against him. I don't think he expected me to be this close, because he stiffened when my arm and leg pressed up against his, but he soon relaxed and began to watch the movie again.

Now that I could finally see the movie, I realized I had already missed the first scene. I didn't understand what was going on: they were in some sort of medievel village during the winter, and a bunch of people and creatures were having a fight about something. The movie quickly began boring me, and I wondered why I even picked Stumbleberry Finkbat to go to in the first place. Then I remembered, I only picked it because Phineas might like it.

I decided that now was yet another time to try to show my affection to Phineas. I was already confused and kind of bored, so I might as well try. It probably wouldn't work, but oh well.

Phineas POV

Man, Stubleberry Finkbat was so cool! I was totally engrossed in the movie while I watched all the villagers and wizards battling giant man-eating bats. I didn't realize until now how intense the series actually was, it was pretty similar to the Lord of the Rings. I was so glad that Isabella invited me to go the movies with her, because this movie was awesome.

Right as one of the bats began carrying away a little girl, I felt something on my arm. I glanced down to see what the disturbance was, and widened my eyes at what I saw.

Isabella was playing with my arm, tracing circles and swirls with her fingertips in no apparent pattern. I could only just see her hand in the darkness. What was she doing? I reasoned it was probably some thing that girls liked to do and decided to ignore it to get back to the movie. As I did, however, my heart started beating faster and I felt a blush creeping across my face. Why was that happening?

I kept trying to watch the movie, but it was pretty hard to focus with Isabella stroking my arm and sending chills down my body. I considered asking her to stop, but I actually kind of liked it. Why did I like it? I continued thinking about what to do, while only partially following along with the movie.

I was even further confuddled when Isabella hugged my arm and rested her head on my shoulder. Isn't that what couples did? I darted my eyes down at her for a split second to see her beaming back up at me. I couldn't help but stupidly smile back, but this time I had to ask her what was going on.

"I-Isabella?" I croaked, cracking my voice in the process.

"Yes Phineas?" she answered sweetly without moving her position, sending more chills up my spine.

"What exactly are you doing?" I asked her, unconsciously spacing out my words. "You don't have to move if you don't want to," I said quickly when I saw her expression fall. When I said this, she smiled again and squeezed my arm.

"Well, aren't we really close friends?" she asked me, putting emphasis on the word 'close'.

I slowly nodded.

"Well I'm just trying to show you that I'm your best friend, that's all," she told me sweetly before snuggling up against me even more.

We stayed like that for the duration of the movie. I was now completely lost in the movie and was actually focusing more on Isabella's shiny black hair then the scene at play. The light from the huge screen reflected off of it which made it look like her hair was sparkling. I wondered what it felt like, and was fighting the urge to stroke it and see. She also smelled really good, like a combination of vanilla and flowers. I had never noticed her aroma until today, but I liked it.

Then I snapped out of it.

"What are you doing?" I told myself. "Just stop thinking about Isabella and start paying attention to the movie!".

Unfortunately, I never got the chance to watch more of Stumbleberry Finkbat.

No POV

High above Danville and slowly orbiting the Earth, a satellite that had previously been hit by a beam from the combine-inator was finally ready to fire. (A/N: Remember in the episode Canderemy how Phineas and Ferb were hit by a ray shot from a satellite in space? That's what it is)

Emitting a high-pitched scream, it shot a ray of power straight at the interstate highway going through Danville. The ray bounced off the left mirror of one car and then hit the right mirror of another before heading straight for the theater. It went right through the glass of the sliding doors at the entrance and bounced off the sunglasses of Clive Addison before zipping directly into the theater premiering Stumbleberry Finkbat.

Isabella POV

I was feeling so happy right now! I was snuggling with Phineas and had been for at least an hour, and he didn't seem to mind. He even told me I could keep cuddling, and judging by his still accelerated heartbeat, I dare say he was enjoying it too.

We had switched positions as the movie droned on, now with my head resting on his and his right hand holding my left.

I sighed in contentment for what seemed like the fiftieth time, but it got caught in my throat as I saw a green beam fly across the room. At first I thought it was some weird 3D effect, but that didn't make any sense because there was no 3D in this movie, nor was I wearing 3D glasses. I saw the ray of light bounce off the huge screen projection and head right towards Phineas and me!

I screamed loudly, and with reason as the beam struck our now-intertwined hands. Phineas and I jolted up out of our seats and I felt a strange sensation tingle through my hand. I phased out for a second before coming back to my senses. Wow, somehow nobody had noticed that I screamed, maybe it had something to do with the movie.

"What was that?" I worriedly asked Phineas, straining to look at him in the darkness.

"I don't know," he confusedly replied before moving his hand up to scratch his head-

-Only to find that I was still holding on.

"Um, Isabella?" he asked. "Could you let go of my hand for a second?"

I was just as confused as he was. No matter how much I tried to free my hand from his grip, I couldn't separate it.

"No, I can't," I told him, "My hand feels stuck to yours".

Phineas yanked his arm away from mine, but only succeeded in pulling me into his chest.

"Whoops! Sorry," he said, pushing me away from him, even though I would have been fine staying on his chest.

Phineas pulled out his phone with his other hand and shone it on our hands so that we could see what the problem was. We both gasped. Somehow, that green beam of light had just merged our hands together!
