Isabella hummed to herself as she finished pulling back her hair with a bright pink bow in the same gingham print as her sundress. She didn't have class until the afternoon, which gave plenty of time to hand out fliers that morning. She grabbed a lighter pink cardigan and pulled it on before slipping into her heels and grabbing her book bag and a

Lilo was in a denim skirt with a red t-shirt with her favorite movie's logo emblazoned upon it, Night of the Evil Zombies 4. Her tennis shoes sounded quietly on the sidewalk as she moved toward her next class, but she did stop when the pretty girl held out a flier to her. She couldn't help but grin.

"This carnival is going to be awesome, one of my friends thought of it. Are you going too?" She bounced a little bit from foot to foot, and just the faintest edge of her tattoos could be seen from beneath her sleeves.

[adoresphineas]

Isabella tilted her head a little at the girl, but still smiling back. "Oh! You know Phineas and Ferb?" she asked. Well, just because she was handing the flier to someone who already knew about it, that didn't mean she wasn't being efficient. Right?

She nodded her head a little and laughed. "I am... It would be really strange if I was doing so much to advertise it and not going myself."

[meansfamily]

"I know Phineas better than I do Ferb." She moved out of the way to the girl's side so that she wouldn't have to obstruct her from handing out fliers to people who didn't know about the impending awesome. "Well, some people are more shy. There's lighting guys in theater 'cause there's guys that love theater but don't want to be onstage, you know?" She shrugged and moved to hand the flier to a guy that was walking by, pointing out the time before bouncing back to the other girl's side. "Crap, I didn't say my name. I'm Lilo, it's nice to meet you!"

[adoresphineas]

Isabella handed another flier out as the girl moved to hand hers to another person. Isabella shrugged off the first comment easily thinking she was in a class with Phineas.

She had just passed out another flier when the girl introduced herself. Oh... Isabella made sure her smile remained on her face and shuffled the stack of fliers around so she could offer her hand. "I've... heard a lot about you. I'm Isabella, it's nice to meet you too."

[meansfamily]

Taking the hand, Lilo couldn't help but grin broadly. "Oh my gosh, you're Isabella? Well no wonder he's stupid about you, you're so pretty!" She grinned at Isabella, oblivious to any awkwardness.

[adoresphineas]

Oh... Isabella felt her cheeks burn and she smiled a little more. "Ah... Wow, thank you..."

This was a little strange, but it could have been worse... The girl could hate her. "That's really sweet of you..."

[meansfamily]

The blush made things click into place in Lilo's head, and she blushed a little in turn. "If he told you about how he and I sort of tried to date, it was for maybe two hours tops, and I told him he was an idiot because he kept talking about how awesome you are the whole time and I told him that he really needed to shoo and ask you out." She grinned. "And he did! How'd he do it?"

[adoresphineas]

"Ah... Yeah, he didn't tell me much..." Isabella affirmed, now having completely forgotten about handing out those fliers in her hands. "Ah, he said you told him something of the sort... I guess I should thank you, huh?"

She smiled slightly as she felt her ears burn now. "Um... well, he had me meet him out in the quad... And told me he was writing a song about me... Then, kind of... Sort of.. Confessed and all that? It still kind of feels like a dream, honestly."

[meansfamily]

"You don't have to. It's kind of obvious when there's a guy in denial." She listened and grinned. "That sounds like Phineas. He doesn't really ever do things halfway, does he?" She couldn't imagine him just asking a girl out. It didn't seem his style.

She squeezed Isabella lightly on the shoulder. "I'm just glad you two are together, you're all glowy."

[adoresphineas]

"Well... You know, for him? That sort of was the halfway way to do it..." Isabella giggled. "But... it was kind of perfect. I didn't need anything else..."

She brought her free hand to her cheek as she couldn't help but giggle again. "I... thank you. It means a lot, you know? I felt really bad when he told me things fell through with you... Because I just wanted him to be happy, you know? But... oh my goodness. This has been something I've dreamed about for nearly ten years now... How ridiculous is that?"

[meansfamily]

"He wrote a song about you! The guy I'm dating now, I asked him if it was okay that I was calling him my boyfriend and he said it was because I'm his girlfriend." She twirled a finger in her dark hair, swaying a little.

She grinned at how happy Isabella looked. "That's not ridiculous, that's awesome. I wish it'd happened sooner for you guys, but it happened at all, right? That's great! And he is happy. You make him happier than I ever could."

[adoresphineas]

"Oh? You're dating someone now too? I'm really glad for you," Isabella replied, noting how happy Lilo looked when she talked about her boyfriend. "It looks like both of us are glowing."

She ran her fingers through her hair and nodded her head slightly. "Ah, yeah.. I mean, late is better than never... Thank you... I know I said it before, but it's so surreal... It's kind of surreal, really."

[meansfamily]

"Yeah, I met him while I was still sort of upset about the whole Phineas thing. Don't feel bad - I liked him, and I get why you do, but he wasn't for me, you know? He's so yours." She grinned and bit her lip. "Besides, I'm with Max now, and he's... kind of dreamy, really." She liked that they were both glowing. That meant she and Isabella could be friends.

"Your dress is pretty, you know. And surreality isn't bad, right? Just different?"

[adoresphineas]

Isabella was able to snap out of her ridiculous giddiness long enough to hand out a few more fliers, but still grinning over at Lilo as she spoke. "Sounds like you really like him... I'm happy for you."

Random compliments like that always caught her off guard. She looked surprised for a moment before smiling brightly. "Oh! Thank you! I like your shirt... But you know, I think the third one was a little better than the fourth, personally..."

She paused and looked thoughtful. "Surreality isn't bad... It's just... strange. And makes it hard to be sure that this is all real."

[meansfamily]

"Oh, I do. I'm happy for you too, you know. I was hoping you wouldn't hate me for touching him or something like that. He's a good friend, and hopefully you won't mind being friends with me too?" She sounded awkward because she felt it; she'd never been good at making friends at home, and she certainly hadn't acquired any new skills in the brief time she'd been at school.

Laughing, she shook her head. "The fourth is so goofy, though, it automatically becomes more fun. And it's real. I'd pinch you, but that's just mean."

[adoresphineas]

Isabella handed out a few more fliers, her smile softening a bit. "I was jealous, I'll admit. Like... Really jealous. But you know? I tried the dating thing back in high school, and I'm not that much of a hypocrite..."

She nudged Lilo slightly with her elbow, smiling. "I think we'd be pretty good friends. I'd like that."

She held out her arm and nodded her head. "Go for it. Please. I've been having people pinch me all week to make sure I believe it's real. I have a couple of bruises to prove it," she joked. "And you're right... The fourth one is really goofy... But after that one, the sequels just got really ridiculous."
