How Act Your Age Should Have Ended

==Transcript==
"I could have been your girlfriend," Isabella lamented in song form.
"I could have been your fella," Phineas carried on as if he were right there, singing alongside her. He imagined them riding a tandem bicycle together. "We might have been an item—"
"They would have called us 'Phinabella!'" Heart wrenching at the thought, Isabella pictured in her mind watching a beautiful sunset on the beach in Phineas' arms.
"I would have held the door for you," Phineas reminisced, "I would have shared my umbrella."
"Something something else contrived that rhymes with Phinabella!" Isabella tried, accidentally forgetting her line.
"Rhymes with Phinabella!" Her miscue was aptly repeated by her backup singers, her former selves.
"We could have been together, all you had to say was when!/And though I wanted so much more, I guess you'll always be my friend./What might have been…"
Her car was now passing the sign that read, "You are now leaving Danville (Come Back Soon.)" To Isabella's eyes, it might as well have said, "You are now leaving Phineas."
"What might have been," she repeated to herself with a sigh. Then her eyes fastened on something up ahead. It was another sign. She couldn't remember there being any more this close to town.
"You may never see him again," the letters spelled as they came into view at freeway speed.
That's weird, Isabella thought to herself. Then she saw another sign just beyond.
"You're just gonna keep driving away without saying goodbye?"
And I'm sure that I've never seen that sign before, she thought, even more confused. Once again to her surprise, there was another sign after that.
"Seriously! This is your last chance! You might never see Phineas ever again!" And another. "This is forever we're talking about!"
Isabella stomped on her brakes. "That's it! I'm going to drive straight back and see him!" With her newfound resolve, Isabella quickly made a U-turn. "Thanks for the signs, Ferb!" she shouted out the window.
Ferb waved a hammer where he stood, placing the last few nails.

"So," Baljeet stated nonchalantly, "I heard Isabella is off to Tri-State State." He paused there, taking note of Phineas' reaction.
"Oh, wow, really? Huh." Phineas reached for the bread. "I haven't seen much of her this summer."
Buford, not caring about the current conversation, interrupted. "Why do parents buy such weird food? Everything's light, low, non, free, or diet."
Phineas turned back to Baljeet. "So, she's leaving?"
"Yes." Baljeet couldn't stifle a smirk. "Heh, I always thought the two of you would end up together."
"I wish! I am so in the friend zone, there."
"You are—kidding, right?" asked Baljeet. "You do know she had a GIANT crush on you for ages?"
This was news to Phineas. "Uh, no?"
Belittling Phineas was reason enough for Buford to join in. "Oh, come on! It was so obvious! 
She came over to your house every day for eleven years just to see what you were doing!"
"When she looked at you, her pupils actually formed little hearts! Like, I do not know how that is physically possible—she changed her eyeballs!"
Glancing back and forth, Phineas mumbled in shock. "I don't believe it! Ferb?"
Ferb simply nodded.
Phineas was floored. "W-why didn't you guys ever tell me?"
"I think that every time somebody did, something highly illogical would always erase your memory."
"Oh," Phineas shrugged, his usual smile returning to his face. "That's a relief. For a second there, I thought you guys had been holding this significant little detail back all these years for some lame reason, like 'we are guys, we don't talk about feelings,' or something like that."
The others chuckled nervously. "Yeah," Baljeet said. "And what about you, Mr. Carpe Diem? If you really liked her, and you really believe in seizing the day, why did you not just ask her out, like, forever ago? That seems wildly out of character for you."
At that, Phineas' face fell.
"Phineas?" They got no response. "Phineas…"
"I think we just broke his brain," Baljeet hypothesized.
"Either that," said Buford, "or the heat of that long-sleeved shirt is gettin' to him."
Phineas was welcomed by the timely chime of the Garcia-Shapiro family restaurant. "Phineas, honey, how are you?"
"Hi, Mrs. Garcia-Shapiro, is Isabella here?"
"Oh, no, sweetie. She's gone."
"Gone? Like, driving—car—school—gone?"
"Gee, that's oddly specific. Were you two by chance singing a song together a minute ago?" 
Before Phineas had a chance to respond, she continued, "It's too bad you didn't get to see her off. You know, since you were kids, she's had a huge crush on you!"
Phineas sighed. "So says Baljeet, Buford, and Ferb, Nana Shapiro, the guy I passed walking his dog, that huge billboard sign that I swear wasn't there yesterday—I wish everybody had decided to tell me this like, yesterday, or something."
"Hey, Phineas!" A customer had just spotted the young man from a table and shouted out to him. "Did you know Isabella has had a crush on you since you were kids?"
"See?" Phineas gestured for Mrs. Garcia-Shapiro.
"Can we drop you anywhere?" Ferb asked.
Phineas thought about it. "As a matter of fact..."
A minute later, they had pulled up alongside Isabella, who didn't notice Phineas standing outside her car until she heard a tap on her window. There was that goofy grin she loved. "Phineas?" She rolled down her window halfway before changing her mind and stepping out of the vehicle. "What are you doing?"
"This." Holding nothing back, Phineas took her face in his hands and brought her lips to his. Pleasantly surprised, she leaned into him, forgetting all else.
The cars behind them honked. One angry driver shouted, "C'mon, it's green! Time to go!" But the young couple, engaged in blissful first kiss, was completely oblivious to the outside world.
"Hey, give 'em a break, will ya?" Another driver yelled. "We've been waiting for years for this to happen!"
"Huh?" The first driver gave them a second look.
"I never knew she had a thing for him," Vanessa announced over her shoulder.
"Seriously?" doubted Ferb.
"Nah, I'm just messing with you. Everyone knew."
She was right. Already several dozen people had gotten out of their cars to watch. "You guys! Phineas and Isabella are finally together!" realized the first driver enthusiastically, apparently over his previous anger.
Finally, the two lovers broke apart, blushing a little when they saw the large crowd they had drawn.
"Three cheers for Phinabella!" someone shouted. "Hip-hip hooray!"
"Hip-hip hooray!"
"Hip-hip hooray!"
Phineas backed up slightly. "This is getting kind of awkward."
Isabella pulled him back. "Shut up and kiss me some more."

Vanessa pulled up in her expensive convertible. "Hey, Ferbs, you ready?" Ferb climbed into the car and gave his girlfriend a smooch. "Hey, Phineas!" she added.
"Hi, Nessa!" greeted Phineas. "Where you guys going?"
"Oh, Ferb's taking me out for Ukrainian food."
"Have a nice time," Phineas said. "If you happen to catch any of those Russian dubbed episodes that haven't aired in English yet, don't tell me any spoilers!"
"Wouldn't dream of it," they waved. "See ya!"
