Love's Full Blossom

This is the seventh story in contributor/author Tiberius64 (Klingon64 on FanFiction.net). It is preceded by Celestial Feelings, If Summer Only Lasted One Day, An Interplexing Future, The Terran Empire, A New Star is Born, and Balance of Terror (which was a prequel to The Terran Empire and occurred in that parallel universe). This story is the shortest to date by Tiberius64 (consisting of only 2 chapters) and is the first since If Summer Only Lasted One Day to deal entirely with a Phinbella plot--in this case, the marriage of Phineas and Isabella. The events of the story happen 10 years after A New Star is Born (2025).

Chapter 1: The Proposal
The date is April 15, 2025. Recollecting the events of 14 years prior (Celestial Feelings), Phineas and Isabella's confessions of love are reiterated; we are reminded that they had both risked their lives together on a number of occasions together and had grown closer as a result. It is said that they had also won some marching band contests in high school; they even graduated college in 3 years each due to Phineas' positive influence and encouragement to them all. Phineas had overseen the construction of the Flynn-Fletcher Starship Complex and had Meap and his kind (nicknamed Species 1 like Phineas and his friends in the ex-Terran Empire Universe used to call them) make first official contact with earth on April 5, 2020 (the same day that his ex-Terran Empire Universe friends had in 2010). And yet, despite such accomplishments in life, one major one was missing: him and Isabella becoming permanently bound in love by marriage.

Getting back to April 15, 2025, Phineas and Isabella live separately in the same apartment complex; Phineas works part-time with the starship fleet and part-time patenting his inventions, while Isabella works at the Flynn-Fletcher Academy    with new recruits. That night, they both decide to go to dinner together at the new Chez Platypus restaurant in town (which had been inspired by Phineas and Ferb's from 14 years prior). They both arrive via transporter. They greet Buford, who is the part-time greeter at the restaurant (whenever he was not aboard the USS Constantine or some other ship as Chief of Security) before entering and going to a table. They are waited upon by Ferb (who is with Vanessa and a part-time waiter at the restaurant). After taking their orders, Phineas and Isabella get to talking. Isabella says that Vanessa is lucky to have Ferb, to which Phineas reminds her of the irony that her father is (or used to be) am evil scientist who threatened their lives several times.

Isabella suddenly begins to remember how they know Perry's affiliation with the OWCA (the events of the canon Across the 2nd Dimension) and her first kiss with Phineas, which Phineas begins to remember as Isabella talks about it. They both also remember being hit with the Amnesia-inator, reasoning that its effects apparently are not permanent; after Isabella points out that Phineas looked very pleased in that moment, Phineas is honest that he enjoyed that kiss. Suddenly, he becomes uneasy and begins to nervously ask something of Isabella. He then pulls out a ring and propses to her. In a surge of emotion, she says yes and hugs the life out of him for what seems like forever. After the long hug, Isabella recounts how she had waited since childhood and Phineas remembers how 14 years prior, he had promised her that she would be Mrs. Flynn someday (Celestial Feelings). He once again apologizes for the fact that it took him until the second-to-last day of summer vacation in 2011 to realize her feelings (as he had only begun to like her not too long before). Isabella then mentions her fantasies in "Phineas-Land" from childhood, to which Phineas says that he had also fantasized a few times of romantic setups. Phineas toasts to "the undiscover'd country" (a reference to Shakespeare's Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, Act III, Scene I)--the future. Ferb, comes back with the food and points out that many people in the back had caught the two in picture and in video; neither care, as both know of the events to come.

Chapter 2: The Wedding
The date is June 14, 2025. It has been nearly two months since the great proposal between Phineas and Isabella. Preparations for the wedding have been made; at the same time, the new USS Phineas-A ( Registry# : PF-01-A), the second starship to carry the name Phineas, is ready to be christened and given a shakedown. It is planned that after the wedding ceremony, Phineas will go up to the nearly-complete Spacedock to christen it with a bottle of 2000 Vintage Dom Perignόn. Due to the mass turnout expected at the wedding, Phineas and Ferb had to build almost an arena (which they put in the Flynn-Fletcher backyard) to accomodate everyone that had to use food replicators to synthesize all necessary food for the guests. At 5:45 of June 14, Phineas and Isabella wake up to shower and prepare themselves for the wedding. Both arrive at the Flynn-Fletcher household at 8:00 AM via transporters due to the congestion already present. Ferb, the best man, finally lets the crowds in at 11:00 AM. By 12:30, the wedding is soon to start (Buford readies the pipe organ while the aged Love Handel prepares themselves, too). By 12:45, the pastor, Larry Lamb, is on the stage and ready.

He begins with the following prayer [original story text]:


 * "Father God, we thank you for the opportunity for all of us to be here and bear witness to the matrimony of two of your children on this day. And Father, I pray that these two take each other for better or worse and love each other for their whole lives. May they hug more, kiss more, and keep this sacred vow that you first performed in Eden. May they love each other more than they love themselves. May they honor each other and you in all they do as they raise a family. In Christ's name we pray and lift them up, Amen."

As he finishes, Buford begins the bridal march on the pipe organ while Phineas walks in with Ferb (the best man) and Isabella with the members of the Fireside Girls (Adyson holds her dress while the others, all unmarried, are flower girls). Irving, the Ring Bearer, brings the rings forward as Phineas and Isabella get to the stage. The vows take place as follows [original story text]:


 * "Do you, Phineas Flynn, take this woman to be your wedded wife, forsaking all others, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, so long as you both shall live?" Phineas, with a mile-wide smile on his face, said "I do." "Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, do you take this man to be your wedded husband, forsaking all others, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, so long as you both shall live?" "Isabella, with tears welling up in her eyes and a cheek-to-cheek smile on her face, answered "I do." Pastor Lamb smiled warmly and looked at the two. "I hereby pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Flynn—husband and wife. Mr. Flynn, you may now kiss the bride." Isabella and Phineas slowly pulled in, looking into each other's teary eyes before saying simultaneously "I gitchee gitchee goo you." They then kissed slowly and passionately yet somewhat briefly as all in the audience stood up and cheered enough to rock all of Danville. Just then, Danny from Love Handel called the time, and the aged band, in one of their last performances, played You 'Snuck 'Your 'Way' Right 'into' My Heart.

After this, Phineas carries Isabella to the Captain's Yacht, which flies upward towards the almost-complete Spacedock, where Phineas will perform the christening ceremony for the Phineas-A. Others arrive via other shuttlecraft or go home to see it all broadcasted on TV. All passengers disembark and go to the dining hall for the reception. From a pneumatic cannon, Phineas sends the bottle of 2000 Vintage Dom Perignόn at the seal on the ship's hull (which is shaped like Phineas' head, like the badges), where it breaks, thus christening the new vessel. At this, everyone applauds as Love Handel, in one of its last performances, performs the song Faith of the Heart. The story ends with this [author's closing comment included]:


 * Phineas and Isabella's dreams had become a reality at long last. It had been 14 years since they confessed to each other how they felt and Phineas' promise to Isabella had been solidified, as she was now Mrs. Isabella Flynn. They would go on to have children, being the first of their friends to do so (except for Jeremy and Candace, who already had Amanda, their first child). Phineas once more told Isabella "I love you, Isabella." In her cute flirty way, she replied "I love you, too, Phineas." They both kissed as the sun rose behind them from the rear window. Meap was also watching in his little ship, and saluted everyone through the window before warping off back home…


 * Yep, this does it, people! These two are officially married and bound by their love in an even deeper way than before. Now these two can express their affections towards each other in a number of different ways, as well as more ways, with no shame. This is was the final voyage of the non-married couple; their lives, and their histories, will come into the hands of their new selves. To them, and their posterity, do I commit my future. They will continue the voyages they began, journeying to all the undiscovered countries, boldly going where no man…where no one…has gone before.
