Chapter Text
It was the weekly Fireside Girls meeting,and after customary exchanging of compliments it was time to see which badge they were going to try to get that day from the Fireside Girl Manual.Unfortunately for Isabella, it was the ‘Help Your Enemy’ badge.
The only person who Isabella really considered her enemy was Dr.Doofenshmirtz, and she dealt with him to last her a lifetime.Besides, she can get that badge some other time.Isabella decided to turn the page of the Fireside Girl Manual to see what badge was after the ‘Help Your Enemy’ badge.
“It’s time for us to earn our ‘Underwater Basket Weaving’ badge.”said Isabella,hoping that her fellow Fireside Girls wouldn’t notice that she turned the page of the manual.
But they did.
“Why did you turn the page,Isabella?”asked Adyson.
“I didn’t turn the page.”lied Isabella.
“Yes you did.”said Ginger.
“Well,it doesn’t matter.I’ve decided what badge we’re going for today, and it’s the ‘Underwater Basket Weaving’ badge.”said Isabella,trying to keep the frustration out of her voice.
“What was the badge on the other page?”asked Gretchen.
“Why does it matter?”asked Isabella,the annoyance starting to leak into her voice.
“It’s just that you always talked about wanting every badge,and you skipping over a badge seems weird.”said Ginger.
“I’m going to get every badge!I just don’t want to get the ‘Help Your Enemy!’ badge right now!”snapped Isabella before she realized what she said.
“Isabella,if you get the ‘Help Your Enemy’ badge now, you won’t have to worry about it later.”said Gretchen.
“You’re right.”sighed Isabella.
“That’s the spirit!Now let’s all go get our ‘Help Your Enemy’ badge.”

It didn’t take long for Isabella to get to Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc.Due to everyone turning into pharmacies, and having to use his space shuttle to save Candace,and Vanessa last summer,Isabella knew that Doof lived on the top floor.
“Hopefully this will be quick.”said Isabella,knocking on Doof’s door,while hoping that he wasn’t home.
But he was.
“What are you doing here?Are you selling cupcakes?”asked Doof when he saw who was on the other side of the door.
“No.I’m here to earn my ‘Help Your Enemy’ badge.Now what need help with?”said Isabella,annoyed that Dr.Doofenshmirtz would automatically think she would be selling him cupcakes.
“Oh.Well,I’m getting married this Saturday-“
“Congratulations.Who are you getting married to?”interrupted Isabella.
“Perry the Platypus.”continued Doof as if he wasn’t interrupted. “Anyway,we can’t find anyone to officiate the wedding.So,can you do it?”
Isabella took out the Fireside Girl Manual.Just because she wanted every badge didn’t mean she knew every badge.
“There’s an ‘Officiate a Wedding’ badge,so yeah,I can do that.When’s the wedding?”said Isabella.
“At 3:00 p.m.at Danville’s Secret Wedding Chapel.”answered Doof.
“Don’t they have their own wedding officiants?”
“You would think they would,be for some reason they don’t.So,you doing it?”
“Sure.”said Isabella.
“Okay.See you then!”said Doof before closing the door.
Isabella walked back to the elevator,happy that she not only found a way to earn two badges in one day, but at the same time.Then she realized-
“Isabella, you fool! You, and the gang were going to see the new Space Adventure movie on Saturday!”Isabella said,facepalming herself in the elevator.
“Well, I guess I’ll have to break the bad news to them…Unless….”said Isabella.
Isabella suddenly thought of herself, and Phineas at Dr.Doofenshmirtz,and Perry’s wedding(he couldn’t be a real platypus,right?).Phineas realizing her feelings for him, and realizing that he had feelings for her.The two of them getting together at a wedding.It sounded romantic.
“Hey,kid! You getting out,or what?”came a voice,interrupting Isabella’s love stupor.
“Oh,yes.Of course.”said Isabella,feeling embarrassed.
-
“And that’s how I got my ‘Help Your Enemy’ badge.” said Katie.
“Good job,Katie.”said Isabella,although she still didn’t understand why Katie didn’t like Roger Doofenshmirtz. He so competent that it was hard to believe that he,and Dr.Doofenshmirtz were related.
“What about you,Isabella?How did you get your ‘Help Your Enemy’ badge?”asked Gretchen.
“I’ll be earning that on Saturday.Along with my ‘Officiate a Wedding’ badge.”Isabella said as modestly as she could.
“Dr.Doofenshmirtz is getting married?”asked Holly.
“Yeah.To some guy named Perry.”
“To some guy named Perry?”asked Ginger,trying not to sound concerned.
“Yeah.Probably a tall,dark,snarky Australian with a high tolerance of stupidity.”said Isabella.At least, that was her version of Perry.
“Only you can figure out how to get two badges at the same time.”said Gretchen.
-
“Okay,Isabella, you can do this.After you tell Phineas that you can’t make it to the movie,you’re going to ask him to the wedding.”said Isabella before entering the Flynn-Fletcher’s backyard.
“Hey,Phineas.What ya doing?”asked Isabella as she entered the backyard.
“Hey,Isabella!We’re just done with our latest project!”answered Phineas.
“That’s great! I just came by to tell you that I can’t come to the movies with you because I’m going to be earning my ‘Help Your Enemy’ badge, and ‘Officiate a Wedding’ badge this Saturday.”
“Dr.Dee is getting married!Good for him!”
“Yeah.And, I was wondering if-“began Isabella.
“If we can help you make a gift for him,and his bride?Sure!”interrupted Phineas.
“He’s marrying a man.And actually-“Isabella.
“We can make something for Vanessa too.”suggested Ferb.
“Why?She’s not the one getting married.”said Phineas.
“Oh,what’s the point?”asked Isabella,giving up on asking Phineas to the wedding.
