HEADCANONS NOBODY ASKED FOR, Phinabella high school edition! :3
Shout out to @authenticcadence18 and FrsdGirl for writing some of the most INCREDIBLE Phinabella fics out there, do yourself a favor and check their works out on Archive of Our Own!
Isabella gave up on Phineas after he got hit by a “Forget-about-it-ilizer-which-was-my-idea-not-Doofenshmirtz’s” (courtesy of Rodney) RIGHT after she confessed her feelings for him. Again.
The only people she directly told, other than the ex-Fireside girls, is Ferb because she accidentally left her group chat messages open while he was returning her right-handed flange tuner that they’d borrowed for a project.
Phineas‘ realization that he had a crush on Isabella came about more gradually. It started when she came to his backyard less often because of her many many extracurriculars, but he couldn’t quite figure out why that was more upsetting than Baljeet rarely showing up because of college, or Buford missing out because of his extracurriculars.
One day, Candace makes an off-hand comment about how Phineas talks about Isabella so lovingly and so often, they might as well be dating. Her slumber is later disturbed by a panicked phone call from Phineas at midnight, because he’s finally realized his own feelings. Our boy’s in pain.
Phineas takes Isabella out for ice cream every year on her birthday, and at least one member of the staff will refer to them as a couple on a date. Cue the blushing and denial.
Phineas and Ferb once built a machine that grants your greatest desire during their sophomore year, and it was Phineas’ turn when Isabella arrived. He claimed that he didn’t get anything from the machine, but everyone else was silently cracking up because they knew what he really wished for 😉
Isabella and Phineas once fell asleep on each other during a long plane flight and Ferb has photographic evidence. He’s waiting until the wedding to use it.
Speaking of Ferb, he and Isabella started referring to each other as ‘milord’ and ‘milady’, respectively, after they worked on a medieval school project together during their freshman year, which made Phineas wonder if they were secretly dating even though he knows that Ferb wouldn’t do that to him.
Phineas almost asked Isabella out to prom- he went as far as putting her favorite flowers in her locker as a surprise- but chickened out at the last second.
Dakota and Cavendish accidentally hypnotized Isabella into thinking she was 10 years old again during a trip to Danville High School (they were trying to find the Milo gang, but got lost), so she spent the day pining for Phineas. Luckily, the ex-Fireside girls and Ferb figured this out before any major damage was done, and Ferb built a device that would undo the effects.
When Baljeet (college freshman at the time, only 14) and Zack (also a college freshman, but he’s 18/19) bump into each other between classes, he finds out that Zack and Melissa have actually been dating since the end of their high school sophomore year, and passes this information off to Buford, who brags to Ferb that he should start referring to Phineas and Isabella as a couple, because then they are guaranteed to get together. It worked with Zalissa, after all.
To talk him out of it, Ferb had to tell him about Isabella giving up and Phineas’ newly-found crush, and threatened to pinch him if he told anyone without Phineas or Isabella’s permission. Buford never brought it up directly after that, and Baljeet didn’t know about the ‘situation’ until AYA because of this 👀
During their senior year, after Ferb went on a “date” (aka secret OWCA stakeout op) with Vanessa, bailing on his movie plans with Phineas and Isabella, the aforementioned duo ended up going to the movie together. Just the two of them. They had a VERY good time, and there may have been some slight armrest sharing.
Phineas wrote a song- for himself and the Ferbtones to sing- about Isabella, and it’s the sweetest but most embarrassing thing ever. It’s currently hidden in Phineas’ binder because he still doesn’t want to show it to his girlfriend but he doesn’t have the heart to throw it away.
