"Hey Phineas, whatcha doin?" I said walking through the gate into Phineas's backyard as I always do. He quickly flipped over a couple of papers he had on a stand and turned around with a smile to face me.

"Oh hey Isabella." He scratched the back of his ear "We're just doing nothing so I guess you could go home and we'll call you if I find out what I'm going to do today." I was a little surprised he didn't have an idea for today. But what really mattered was that he wanted me to leave.

"You sure you don't want to help the fireside girls get some patches or something?" I asked hopefully not really wanting to leave. He looked kind of upset about something

"No, no we'll just call when we know so just don't worry about it." He was looking a little nervous but I decided to shrug it off still a little hurt he didn't want me there.

"Okay. No prob. See you later I guess." I walked out the gate to the side of his house. Phineas didn't even want me there on my birthday of all days. I don't know why I bother anymore.


I went back to my house and up to my bedroom to fall onto my bed. I had really been expecting Phineas to remember I hadn't even thought to try to set up a party myself. I still couldn't believe he forgot, it's not like we've known each other since we were 3 or anything. Man the years fly by when you're not being noticed. I looked at my phone. No texts. Okay now I would have thought I would get at least one happy birthday text. I decided to text Gretchen asking if she wanted to hang out and go shopping or something. I wasn't going to do nothing just because I didn't have a party planned. Out of nowhere I got a text from Phineas.

Hey Isabella, we're done now. Come on over.

It was nice he wasn't just getting rid of me before but he still forgot my birthday. I decided to not answer his text for a little bit. Maybe he'd figure out why I wasn't for himself. I laughed at this. Phineas was good at figuring out math and science but he seemed to lack the ability to figure out people. After a couple of minutes of me daydreaming I heard my phone ring again. It was Phineas. But I wasn't in the mood. After a couple more minutes my phone rang again. This time it was Gretchen. I couldn't ignore everyone on my birthday.

"Hey Gretch what's up?" I asked

"Any particular reason you're ignoring me?" Phineas asked trying to put on his best annoyed voice.

"Umm I wasn't ignoring you." I lied "So whatcha doing?" I asked again trying to change the subject.

"We finished what we were doing so come on over. We're in the house so you can use the front door. See you in a little bit." He hung up before I could say I wasn't in the mood or ask him why he had Gretchen's phone. I brushed my hair which was already a mess from lying down and started walking over to Phineas's house. There wasn't any noise in the backyard, or anywhere really which was weird even if they were inside. I walked up to the door hearing some quick footsteps inside before it suddenly quieted. I opened the door into the empty room until I heard.

"SURPRISE!" I couldn't believe how many people were able to hide behind the Flynn-Fletcher's furniture. Phineas walked up to me and showed me small birthday tiara before placing it on my head.

"Come on, you know I wouldn't forget your birthday." He walked with me as we said hello to everyone in the party which was surprisingly most of Danville.

"I can't believe you got all this set up after I left." I said happier than I'd been all day.

"Well most of it was already on its way when you were there which is why I sorta kicked you out. Sorry about that." I was still amazed at the party. The backyard had a full stage which had a DJ playing. There was a buffet which encircled the entire yard. Love Handel was walking in to do a couple of songs. All in all it was even better than Candace's intimate get together.

"You're forgiven. Sorry I your ignored text and call." Phineas just shrugged. He wasn't really mad at me for being mad at him. I had thought he forgot my birthday.


The backyard ended up becoming basically the dance floor but there were still plenty of people inside. I had fun walking around the party. At some point a big bouncy house (not as big as Phineas and Ferb's but it was pretty good) showed up as well as various arcade games, a bowling area, a Foosball table (I kicked Buford's butt, again), a heated pool, and even a giant floating baby head. I walked around with Phineas at first but I spent a good amount of the party with the Fireside girls. I think I over trained them because they're getting pretty close to beating me at those arcade games. Eventually Phineas, Ferb, the Fireside Girls, and I all ended up at a table, which we took the liberty of piling with food for ourselves, and talked while listening to the music. Out of nowhere we heard a familiar electronic tune come on as well the DJ's voice

"Okay well I would love for this song to be sung by the real Phineas and Ferbtones but they're really hard to get a hold of and.. What?" He put a hand to his ear as though talking to someone. "We're actually in the lead singer's backyard? Well has anyone seen Phineas so he can get up here and sing?" A light aimed itself at Phineas who stood up surprised, apparently not expecting the DJ's idea. He walked over to me.

"Would the birthday girl like to come and sing on stage with me?" His face had the most amazing and inviting smile ever, but I was a little hesitant.

"Are you sure you don't want someone else to sing it with you." His smile didn't falter at all and his hand extended for me to take.

"There's no one I would like to sing this with more than you." I blushed. Not that anyone would blame me. I took his hand and he led me to the stage which still had the background beat to the song playing, waiting for us to start singing.

After we finished we hopped off the stage. I couldn't help but notice how much Phineas was staring at me. I even decided to comment on it.

"Why were you staring at me? I don't have something on my face do I?" Dear god please let there not be half a chocolate cake's frosting around my mouth.

"What? Oh no." He took another look at my face. "No your good. I was just.. looking at your eyes I guess." He was scratching the back of his neck nervously. I felt myself blushing. Out of nowhere Phineas tripped and fell onto a table dragging the table cloth and all that was on it to the ground. I took a step forward to make sure he was all right and tripped over the same wires he had seconds prior. My hand instinctively went out in front of me to break my fall but the second they hit the broken glass they gave out resulting in my face landing right into the aforementioned glass.

"AHHHHHHHH!" I screamed despite having tried my hardest not to. I heard Phineas yell over my own scream.

"Ferb call an ambulance!" His tone softened as my own screaming ended "Don't worry Isabella I'm right here." I could feel him holding me but I wasn't going to open my eyes which were in excruciating pain. I continued to hear the shouts of everyone else but they quickly became more distant and I blacked out.
