Laibert

Note: Albert is fourteen here.

Chapter 1
Laia Flynn was at the library researching Greek worship. She was carrying a huge pile of books to the checkout - but she ran into a boy! He was blond, with glasses. They both shuffled through the books, each apologizing to the other. Then Laia asked, "What's your name?" "Albert." "Irving's older brother?" "Yep. He says you resemble Phineas." Laia blushed and handed him a family photo. Albert studied it, then gave it back to her. "So there's a dance for the solstice coming up and..." Albert trailed off. Laia smiled. "Sure! I've been looking for a date to this thing since I heard." "Me too." They both turned red, and Laia checked out her books and left. She dropped off her books in her room and left for the mall with Candace, who was coming with her and Stacy to pick out dresses for the solstice dance.

Chapter 2
A few minutes later, Laia was modeling a green evening gown with gloves. Both of the others approved, and Laia put it in a bag she had brought. Candace and Stacy chose short pink and purple dresses. The three walked to the checkout. Candace paid, and they walked to the family car, where Linda was waiting. They drove off, & the girls chatted about the dance the whole way home. Laia daydreamed about Albert for a while, as the dance was at nine. It was one. Then Phineas opened the door. "Hey, Laia, wanna test our new machine? It lets you know who's perfect for you." "Sure." Laia followed him to a machine. She stepped inside. A wheel spun and scanned her. "Name: Laia Flynn. Gender: Female. Searching Tri-State Area males..." It stopped - on Albert! Phineas turned slowly. "Wow." Laia blushed. "I'm going to the solstice thing with him." Phineas said, "Cool. I'm going with Isabella. Ferb's going with Vanessa." Laia looked at Ferb. "You do realize she's like six years older than you?" "I know."

Chapter 3
Seven hours and fifty minutes later, Laia was wearing her dress and gloves, with green wedges underneath. She was wearing a green choker and her hair was up in a bun. She boarded the family car. She started calling Albert. "Hey, Albert. It's Laia. Yes, that Laia. You ready? Okay, bye!" Laia hung up.
