Phineas and Isabella

Prologue
(Isabella walks onstage and talks to the audience)

Isabella: (To the audience) It was a clear night. My party had finally been set up. We were so excited, my first Sweet 16 party. My mother finally agreed that I could make it a little old fashioned, and those who weren't invited could come, as long as they wore masks.

(Phineas enters and faces the audience)

Phineas: (To the audience) My family had hated the Garcia-Shapiro's for years. It started when our ancestors had gotten into a feud... I'm not sure how, but I had to swear I'd hate them as much as my family did.

Isabella: (Turning to Phineas) My family weren't bad people! No... I had to promise that same thing. I don't know what it was over, either. (Back to the audience) Anyway, at my party, a lot had happened.

Both: (To the audience) How was I to know I'd meet the love of my life that night?

(Both give each other a glance, turn in opposite directions and walk offstage)
