{Phineas}

As I watched Isabella's eyes widen, it hit me that she really had forgotten my birthday.

For my past twelve birthdays, she's never forgotten one. Apparently this year, it was not the case.

"Phineas! I-I'm sorry! It slipped my mind and-and I- tomorrow, you and me. We can do something together! I'll make it up to you, I promise!" She exclaimed, her eyes wide with panic.

I looked away. I couldn't bear to look at her knowing that she'd actually forgotten. Actually, scratch that. I couldn't bear to look at her because she was on a date with Django.

I knew Django had liked her for a long time and I had always approved but now, I wanted nothing more than for him to disappear and Isabella just be with me. I wonder why after all this time, he decided to make a move and it's when I find that I love her more than anyone or anything in this world.

"It's fine, Isabella. You don't have to." I muttered.
"No, no! It's not fine! I'm really sorry! It slipped my mind! I've never missed your birthday before so tomorrow, it's just you and me, Phin." She said and took my hand.

I glanced down and smiled. I noticed Django frown but he came over and wished me a happy birthday.

"You need a ride back, Izzy?" He asked Isabella.

My eye twitched at the mention of someone else using my nickname for her.

"Oh, yea, I guess I need a ride." She giggled and my heart stopped.

Crap. Why was she so cute...

"Cool. I'll take you home." He said and took her hand. She hesitated then smiled.

I was glad that it was dark because my face was burning.

"Are you guys dating?" Ferb asked in my place.
"Yes." Django said proudly.

Isabella didn't look at me. I felt a headache coming on.

"Ok, well, see you tomorrow. Phineas, come on." Ferb said and I followed him.

"Phineas!" Isabella yelled.

I turned around.

"We...we still on for tomorrow?" She asked.

I nodded. I couldn't find my voice. At least not now that I had to process that my best friend forgot my birthday and was now dating one of my close friends.

I followed Ferb to his car and just slept all the way home.

When I woke up, I was in my bed.

"Hey, Phineas."

I looked over and saw Ferb sitting up in his bed with a book.

"Hey, Ferb..." I replied.
"Don't you have that date with Isabella? You might want to get ready because she's coming in half an hour."

I jumped up.

"Ferb! Why didn't you tell me?!" I yelled.
He shrugged. "I didn't want to wake you."
"Oh, and when were you going to wake me?! When she was here and having a nice cup of tea?!" I exclaimed.
"Well, she does fancy my tea and biscuits." He said, focusing on his book.
"Ferb...." I groaned.

I got up and threw on my yellow sweatshirt with the orange stripe and blue jeans. I ran my hand through my hair and declared myself ready.

"Hey, Phineas!" Isabella threw open the door and beamed.
"Hey, Izzy, let me just-"

"Hey, Phineas."

I looked up and saw Django standing behind Isabella. I forced on a smile.

"Hey, Django. What are you doing?" I asked.
"I'm hanging out with you guys today." He smiled.
"Great." I gritted my teeth.
"That's ok with you, right?" His smile faltered.
"Not real-"
"Of course he's ok with it, silly!" Isabella giggled.
"Of course." I faked another smile.
"Sweet." He said.

As much as I liked Django, I didn't really want him with us today. I didn't want to be a third wheel when it was supposed to just be Isabella and I to make it up for my birthday.

"Hey, Django, actually I need a favor." Ferb spoke up.
"Sure, Ferb, what's up?" Django asked.
"I need help with this project I'm working on and I need your art skills. I wasn't the best at art." Ferb lied.
Django hesistated but Isabella smiled and nodded. "Well, if it's for art..."
"It's in the basement." Ferb said.

"See you later, Isabella." Django pecked Isabella's cheek and then followed Ferb downstairs.

"Well, guess it's just us." Isabella smiled as she threw my shoes at me.
"Hey!" I laughed and caught them.

I tied them on and we raced downstairs. I grabbed Ferb's keys but Isabella stopped me.

"Ah, ah, ah! Today is my treat, remember? My treat, my car." She said.
I grimaced playfully. "I have to ride in your pink car? Ewwww."
She laughed and hit me lightly. "Shut up, jerk, and get in."

I got into the side seat and soon we were off.

"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Paris." She answered.
"What?!" I exclaimed.
She laughed. "I was kidding. We're going to the art museum! I know you love Mr. Brown's giant art! You couldn't stop gushing about it that one summer."

I beamed. I did love his giant art. I mean, it was so cool and big and you could really see the detail and time put into the pieces.

When we got there, Mr. Brown was at the front door.

He waved to us and we walked up the stairs towards him. "Hello, Isabella! Hello, Phineas! It's always a pleasure to see you!"
"Hi, Mr. Brown! I-"
He put up a hand to stop her. "No need to tell me. Django told me and I'm really happy! I always thought you'd be a great match for my son! You're diligent, kind, gentle, brave, and an inspiration to my son! Just take a look inside! Some of his works have made it beside mine!"

He whipped out two tickets and handed them to Isabella. "For my son's beautiful girlfriend."
She blushed. "Thanks, Mr. Brown!"

I grimaced but again, I forced another smile for Isabella. I really did like Mr. Brown. In fact, I liked everyone in Danville. But...I was just liking his son a little less than everyone else.

We walked inside and I sighed in relief at the cold air conditioning.

"Come on! I want to see the Rolling Donut Hills!" Isabella exclaimed and pulled me towards the balcony.

She smiled in awe as she stared at the hills that were glazed with dozens and dozens of different kinds of donuts. It was one of Mr. Brown's main exhibits.

"Hey, look! That must be one of Django's exhibits!" Isabella pointed behind us at large "piece of paper" that had a drawing on it.
I smiled. "That's the drawing that Django wanted to give to his father when we were kids and we ended decorating the Desert Less Sahara."

Django's art was quite like his father's. It made a statement, not just by being large, but because it had a purpose.

I frowned when I saw a giant and familiar bow that was near the large drawing.

"Hey, that looks like my bow!" Isabella exclaimed and sloped over to where a tour guide was showing off the art.

"Last on the tour is the Exhibition by the infamous Django Brown who, just like his father, has continued making large art. This exhibition is called 'Schoolboy Crush'. This was inspired by little Django's kid crush who he made everything related to her. He won't tell us exactly who this girl is but we know that she must've been very important to him because he made 19 pieces for her."

Before her speech was over, both of our faces were red, but of course for a different reason.

"Hey, Izzy, wanna go check out Mr. Brown's giant replica of the forest from 'A Midsummer's Night'?" I asked.
"Oh, I haven't see that one yet! I heard it was really cool because there's a giant Queen Titania and the donkey she had an affair with while King Oberon is watching from the trees! There's also a large clearing where people sometimes have picnics and parties and festivals! My cousin had her birthday there once but I was sick and couldn't go."

I chuckled at Isabella's excitement. "Let's go!"

We showed our V.I.P tickets to the guards in front of the door and entered. Luckily for me, there was a small birthday party being held but they were leaving which meant we would have the whole place to ourselves. Or at least until the next party was held in the next hour.

"Wow! Look at this detail! And look at the Queen's crown! Mr. Brown is so amazing!" Isabella shouted in excitement.
"Come on! Let's go to the clearing!" I said.

She followed me and we stared in awe at the large pool that was surrounded by willow trees and a cliff and tire swing that you could jump off of into the pond. There were also tiny lights decorating the trees and I silently cheered for the romancy feeling.

"Sweet googli moogli, this is awesome!" She shouted.

For the next hour, we jumped into the pond from the swing, sang stupid songs loudly and off tune, and played hide and seek within the large forest.

"Come roll down the hill with me!" Isabella grabbed my hand and before I knew it, I was rolling down the hill like a dumpling.

When we reached the bottom, I had a huge headache and couldn't see straight but when Izzy appeared beside me with a huge smile, I felt fine again.

"This is so cool! I haven't done that since we were kids!" Izzy giggled.
"Did you have fun?" I laughed at her childishness.
"I always have fun with you, Mr. Boredom Buster!" She laughed.
"I'm glad." I smiled.

We laid there and just stared at the luminescent fake stars in the sky.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Isabella leaned over and she pecked my cheek. "Happy birthday, Phineas!"

I blushed and smiled. "Thanks, Izzy."

"So...did you have fun?" She asked.
"Why wouldn't I?" I asked.
"Good! Then I declare this birthday successful!" She declared.
I laughed. "Thanks, Izzy. Um, I was wondering....are you-"

I heard a buzzing noise and Izzy pulled out her phone. "Oh, sorry, it's Django. I need to take this."

I sighed and watched as she walked a few feet away. I could still hear her conversation.

"Hey, Django! What's up?"

"Oh, I'm with Phineas right now! You knew that."

"Oh, you're done? Um, ok. I guess I can come pick you up."

"No, I know that you have somewhere to be."

"Stop that. I'll hang out with you tomorrow."

"You know that I missed his birthday and that's why I'm hanging out with him!"

"I know I said that you could hang out with us but you wanted to do arts and crafts with Ferb!"

"Ok, whatever! It's not arts and crafts!"

"I'm not yelling! You're yelling!"

"Will you just shut up?! I'm coming!"

She hung up and then shrieked. She walked back to me and fell down beside me.

After a few seconds, I spoke up. "So...trouble in paradise?"
She huffed. "No..."
"Was he...yelling at you?" I asked.
"No...maybe..." She looked away.
I turned on my side so I was facing her. "Do you even like him?"
"Well, y-yea....I mean, I understand...his situation..." She mumbled.
"And what situation is that?"
"Um...the-the...friendzone situation...?"
"Someone friendzoned you? How? You're the most amazing and beautiful girl I know!"

She laughed lightly. "Shut up. You're just saying that because we're friends and I helped you with your inventions."

I sat up and looked down at her petite figure that was laying down and was looking up at me with those cute blue eyes of hers.

"Don't think that. You really are an amazing person. I mean, you got so many scholarships because you're great at everything and everyone loves you because you're sweet and kind. And that thing where every guy in Danville loves you? Well, that's because along with being amazing, sweet, and caring, you're also really pretty and I mean, those eyes could make any guy fall hard and I'm no exception to it."

Isabella stared at me and I blushed. I didn't mean to tell her that I liked her. It just slipped out because I got so worked up on telling her how I felt about her.

"Um, wow...t-thanks, Phineas. I...didn't know you thought so highly of me." She blushed, smiling.
"Well, yea...I-I..." I sighed and just let it out. "I love you."

Her face burned red.

"Um, Izzy, are you ok? I'm sorry, that was bad, huh. You're already with Django, what was I thinking. I'm dumb, don't worry about it." I smiled nervously.

"Fudge nuggets, Phineas, I've been waiting so long." She whispered.

I felt her first before I saw. She wrapped her arms around me and kissed me. It was a deep kiss; almost desperate.

I pulled her closer and kissed her back. It was sorta like both of us needed this.

"I knew it."

Ok wow I think this is the longest chapter but anyways ooh mystery voice any guesses?
