December 25th…

Phineas Flynn nervously stood on the doorstep of the Garcia-Shapiro home, with a gift wrapped box hidden behind his back. He knows very well that usually his girlfriend Isabella and her mother do not celebrate Christmas, but it always makes him feel better to get her a gift, since he normally can't afford eight days worth of gifts for her Hanukah celebrations.

"Phin! Merry Christmas babe!" Isabella exclaims after she opens the door. They lean in and give each other a gentle kiss before entering the household. The house had gone back to normal since Hanukah ended, even though Mrs. Garcia-Shapiro made it a point to put up Christmas lights on the house every year.

"Merry Christmas to you too Izzy. I hope you like what I got you this year…" he says, handing her the box that had been behind his back.

"Phin, you know I'm gonna love…" she begins, tearing into the paper and opening the box. "Oh my Gosh! How did you know?" she exclaims upon seeing the contents inside. She quickly pulls out the black mesh football jersey with a sewn on 43 on the front and the name POLAMALU on the back. Phineas had seen her eyeing it every time they went past the sports store in the mall.

As she tried it on, Phineas could see that she hadn't gotten the second part of her present, which was still lying in the bottom of the box where he had hid it. "I know how big a Steelers fan you are, and this was the only one they had in your size. But you might want to look in the box again sweetheart." he explains as she quickly puts on her jersey. Curiously, she picks up both halves of the box and gasps loudly at the next surprise.

"Is this…what I think it is?" she asks slowly, caressing the rectangular piece of laminated paper in her hands.

"You think correctly Isabella. Ferb and I still get residual royalties from those 'Perry the Platypus' inaction figures, so I was able to get us two tickets to the Super Bowl in Arlington. I'm just hopeful that either the Steelers or the Packers get there. Though with that loss to the Patriots, I'm not too hopeful." Phineas responds as Isabella roots around in the hall closet for his present.

"You guys will do just fine, and to prove it…" she says, pulling a box of similar size out of the closet. "…I thought this might help perk up your spirits." she finishes with a smile as he cautiously takes the box from her.

"What did you get me Izzy?" he asks as he carefully opens the box and nearly drops it upon pulling the delicate tissue paper back. Inside the box is a blue mesh football jersey much like the one he got her, except with a gold circle and the number 52 inside it, on the back is the name MATTHEWS. "How did you know?" he asks, clutching the jersey to his chest like a sacred relic.

"I knew you already had the home Aaron Rodgers and away Charles Woodson jerseys, and ever since that game where they played the 49'ers where they wore these, I knew you wanted this one. Somehow this throwback is cute in an old school kind of way." she replies with a giggle, which is cut off as he launches himself at her and gives her a tight bear hug.

"I love it! Thank you so much babe!" he exclaims, still crushing her to his chest.

"You're…welcome Phin. I can't…breathe!" she chokes out. He immediately releases her and plants a tender kiss on her trembling lips as an apology. Phineas takes the tags off and puts on his new jersey, proudly running his hands over the embroidered embellishments on the jersey.

January 23rd, 2011...

After watching an exciting NFC Championship game between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears, which saw Phineas lose his voice ecstatically screaming when Green Bay intercepted a pass with thirty-seven seconds left to go in the game. That sealed a 21-14 victory for the Packers and a trip to the Super Bowl.

During the game, there were several times that everyone in the house thought that Phineas was going to have a nervous breakdown. All were ready to jump on him when Aaron Rodgers threw an interception with the Packers on the six yard line going into the end zone in the third quarter.

In fact, Ferb indeed did jump on his brother when Packers Nose Tackle B.J. Raji intercepted a pass and returned it eighteen yards for a touchdown. Phineas had leaped to his feet and began dancing around, until Ferb tackled him back onto the couch, rolling his eyes playfully at his brother.

As Ferb and Gretchen tried their best to calm an ecstatic Phineas down (he had now raced outside and began dancing in the driveway), Isabella giggled with Candace as they settle onto the couch for the AFC Championship game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets. Candace didn't have a dog in the fight, with her beloved Chiefs having been taken out in the Wild Card round.

"You know, if the Steelers win this, it's gonna be a long two weeks for you two right?" Candace asks as the Jets kick off to start the game.

"I know, but we're both mature enough to separate our fanhood from our relationship. If the Steelers lose, I have no problem cheering for the Packers right along side Phin." she responds as Pittsburgh begin to mount an epic nine minute and six second touchdown drive.

The game progresses, with Phineas finally being corralled back into the house and plopped onto the couch next to his girlfriend. Silently he's cheering for the Jets to win, because he doesn't want anything to be awkward for the two weeks between the Conference Championship and Super Bowl XLV.

His hopes for a peaceful two weeks is evaporating quickly as Halftime begins, with the Steelers jumping out to a 24-3 lead. Isabella's on Cloud Nine at this point, already picking out what she's going to wear when they go to the Dallas area. This feeling begins to evaporate as the Jets mount a comeback, including sacking Ben Roethlisberger in the end zone for a safety midway through the fourth quarter.

"Come on! Where are you O-Line? Just stand there and watch him get plastered why don't ya!" Isabella screams, gaining several shocked stares from everyone but Phineas. The screams of frustration grow louder as the Jets drive down and score another touchdown to cut the lead to 24-19.

However, the Steelers were able to run out the clock, and as it hit 0:00 Isabella went ballistic. She danced and shouted both in English and Spanish. But as her team accepted the Championship trophy, both she and Phineas slowly turned to face each other, and both smiled wickedly at each other.

"Go Pack Go!" Phineas shouts, waving his Cheesehead around in the air.

"Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go!" Isabella retorts, proudly twirling her "Terrible Towel".

"This is going to be a long two weeks." Ferb dryly quips as the two stare each other down.

February 6th, 2011...

For the past two weeks, Phineas and Isabella had been using his wrist mounted teleportation device to go between the DFW Metroplex and Danville to soak in as much of the Super Bowl activities and hoopla as they could. Everything has been amicable, with a little bit of playful teasing, including Phineas filling Isabella's locker with green and gold confetti and Isabella retaliating by hanging a poster of Steelers Safety Troy Polamalu over his bed.

Finally the big day arrived, and both were anxious and excited to get down to Arlington. Each was clad in the jersey the other got them for Christmas, with Phineas having painted his face equally green and gold.

"You ready to go sweetheart?" Isabella asks when she arrives, eschewing her traditional greeting.

"I was born ready. I didn't get to see the Packers win Super Bowl Thirty-One, so this is going to be that much sweeter." he replies, placing his Cheesehead firmly on his head and tapping the coordinates of the stadium into the device.

"I so love your enthusiasm Phin, I hope you have that same enthusiasm when the Steelers are again hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. We're on the Stairway to Seven my love." she retorts with a smile. He gives her a wink as they clasp hands and teleport to a spot right outside the entrance to the stadium.

"Wow! Look at all the people!" Isabella squeals when they get their senses about them. Indeed, the plaza they had landed in was filled with at least ten thousand people milling about.

"I know! I know the stadium can hold up to a hundred thousand people, but to actually see it is mind blowing! This is going to be epic!" he replies, taking her by the hand so they don't lose each other. They spent the time until the gates opened milling about, catching glimpses of the various celebrities arriving and talking with other fans from around the world.

Finally they are allowed inside and the sheer size of the venue completely overwhelms them. All they can do stare at is the enormous replay board hanging over the field. They find their seats and get settled in. Both raised eyebrows when the National Anthem was botched, and both cheered loudly as the teams were introduced.

With all the pre game pageantry over, the ball was kicked off and the game got underway. Neither team scored, leaving both Phineas and Isabella to groan at missed opportunities. It was the Packers who got on the board first with a twenty-nine yard touchdown pass that sent Phineas into hysterics. Twenty-four seconds later, Phineas again was going crazy as the Packers intercepted a pass and returned it thirty-seven yards for another touchdown.

"Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Nick Collins baby!" Phineas screams, though Isabella could barely hear it over the deafening roar of the crowd. All she could do is shake her head in disgust, the game isn't going to her liking so far. The Steelers got on the board a little later with a thirty-three yard field goal to bring the score to 14-3.

But later in the quarter, Isabella was left to again shake her head in disgust. The Packers drove down the field and scored yet another touchdown on an Aaron Rodgers twenty-one pass to Greg Jennings.

"Aw come on guys! Go for the tackle not the ball!" she screams at her team, while noticing that Phineas is dancing next to her. The young man is filled with confidence, which is now bordering on cockiness. The Steelers would drive down and get a touchdown with thirty-nine seconds left to go in the half, bringing the score to 21-10. His enthusiasm was tempered a bit with the game ending injuries to Donald Driver and Charles Woodson.

At halftime Phineas got up and went to get some soda and hot dogs since he wasn't interested in seeing the Black Eyed Peas. Isabella enjoyed the performance, but wasn't looking forward to the rest of the game, if the first half was any indication of how it was going to go.

As the second half began, it seemed as if the momentum of the game had switched over completely to the Steelers. The Packers couldn't move the ball, and it was Isabella's turn to dance when the Steelers scored the only points of the third quarter on an eight yard touchdown run by Rashard Mendenhall.

"Oh baby he ran right through that defense like a hot knife through butter! Let's go Steelers! Make the comeback!" she screamed, turning to look into her boyfriend's now solemn face.

However, the Packers' defense stiffened, and the Steelers kicker badly missed a fifty-two yard field goal. At the beginning of the fourth and final quarter, the Steelers were driving for another score. All seemed to be coming up roses for the Steelers and their fans until…

"FUMBLE!" Phineas screamed as the ball popped out of Mendenhall's arm and bounced to the turf. The crowd exploded as a Packers linebacker picked it up and returned it seven yards. Isabella's eyes were as wide as saucers and her jaw nearly hit the concrete beneath her feet. Phineas began dancing again as the Packers scored a short while later to bring the score to 28-17.

"That was beautiful! Go Pack Go!" he hollered, turning to high five several Packer fans around him, before emulating Rodgers by 'putting on The Belt' in celebration. Isabella rolled her eyes at this, as she hated that specific celebration. Her spirits were lifted however, as the Steelers drove right back, scoring on a twenty-five yard touchdown pass. They tacked on a two-point conversion to draw the game closer at 28-25.

"Oh here we go! I still got faith in you guys! We can win this!" Isabella yelled, turning to high five the various Steelers fans around them. She even playfully wagged her Terrible Towel in her downtrodden boyfriend's face. The Packers were able to add a field goal later however, upping their lead to 31-25 with 2:07 left to go in the game.

"Come on defense! Get a stop and we're the Champs! Go Pack!" Phineas shrieked.

"Let's go Steelers! Do to them what you did to the Cardinals! We got number seven in the bag!" Isabella cried in response. The Steelers were able to move the ball twenty yards from their own thirteen to the thirty-three yard line. The game came down to one play, fourth down and five with fifty-six seconds to go. The Steelers attempted a pass, however…

"INCOMPLETE! YES! WE'RE THE CHAMPS!" Phineas shrieked. Isabella could only watch in stunned silence as the Packers quickly kneeled on the ball twice to run out the clock. Phineas began jumping around, slapping hands with everyone around him, and even hugging his girlfriend tight to his chest and jumping up and down.

"Good game Phin, the better team won tonight." she says quietly before giving him a kiss. They smile at each other as the confetti rains down on the field.

"Good game Izzy. The Steelers are a great team too." he replies, hugging her again. They turn as the Lombardi Trophy is walked to the stage and handed to the Packers' management, head coach and the game MVP Aaron Rodgers. Izzy smiles as she sees the tears well up in her boyfriends' eyes, remembering how she felt when the Steelers won their two Super Bowls.

After everything had died down and they made their way outside the stadium, the pair takes one last look at their surroundings before clasping hands and teleporting back to Danville. They make their way inside Phineas' house, and are met by their mothers, Vivian consoling her daughter and Linda hugging her son in victory.

The next day, Phineas quickly teleported to Green Bay and brought back enough Championship gear for both himself and his mother. Isabella could only shake her head and smile at seeing her man in the white t-shirt and black hat. But no matter the outcome, they both had had a great time with their significant other, and that had made the victory that much sweeter in Phineas' mind.

A/N: Whew…I am so sorry for the extended delay. I was waiting to see what the Super Bowl match-up was, and then when the Packers won, I got caught up in the hoopla of seeing my team win. Thank you again to everyone who waited on this with baited breath, I hope it was worth the wait. Please remember to review if you want.
