Description
The aftermath of the inevitable breakup with Isabella and Everett.

Headcanon: In spite what "Act Your Age" may lead you to believe, based off these lines ("I haven't seen much of her over the summer" and "I sort of gave up when we got into high-school"), Phineas and Isabella's friendship does not diminish over time; in fact, Isabella giving up pursuit and moving on sort of strengthens their bond (The reason why they don't hang out much during the Summer of AYA is simply because Isabella was too busy preparing for college and working - whenever she HAD the time to visit Phineas and the others, by JOVE she would). They start doing everything together for a while, up until Isabella starts dating Everett (or whoever; he's basically a placeholder). Again, their friendship doesn't diminish, but Phineas DOES start to feel...awkward. He does support the two, but he's also feeling as though there's something wrong with Everett.

Of course he couldn't be jealous. Because that would be ridiculous. Everett was a great guy. And Isabella loved him. All that mattered was that they were happy; and yes, Phineas DID get just as annoyed as Isabella when her friends would bring up how she and Everett were not exactly a good match.

Their friends ended up being right. They were sooooo right. Turns out Phineas was so busy being supportive that he failed to realize (even though part of him KNEW) that Everett wasn't exactly the best person. Everett wasn't a monster by any means, but he had lived a sheltered life thanks to his overbearing parents - dating Isabella, their family friend whom his parents emphasized was an overall perfect human being like Everett was, kinda broke the camel's back somehow. Long story short, Everett cheated on Isabella with a girl by the name Mara.

He did this for several months before the truth came out; Everett managed to apologize, but the damage was already done. Isabella gave up on finding love at all after that. And she couldn't even be angry at Everett - in spite everything, she still had feelings for Phineas while she was with Everett. It was almost as if the Mysterious Force Candace had gone on about was making Isabella pay the consequences for her own disloyalty. Yet that doesn't stop Phineas from comforting her in any way he can.

So, recently it was revealed that "Act Your Age" isn't actually "canon" per se. At least in the timeline of Milo Murphy's Law. Which just begs the question - does this mean that it's not canon in the Dwampyverse overall, or does MML take place in an alternate timeline? The world may never know...

Regardless, the fact that AYA isn't canon is a blessing. I loved that episode, but I AM aware of it's flaws, particularly when looking into Baljeet and Ginger's relationship and how it doesn't really tackle the whole "manipulating the situation" mentality. So it's nice to know that the story is a take it or leave it sort of tale. Soft canon, if I may.

It also confirms my theory that Dan and Swampy worked these stories in such a way that technically every ship is canon, which is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, this means that there's no need for fans to argue, since technically one way or another all ships are canon...on the other hand, that also means that the obscene and morally reprehensible ships are ALSO canon. I also feel like this type of thing can and WILL backfire - it's nice for a shipper such as myself to have so many options, yet this may cause people to become all the more pretentious. Because, obviously, there HAS to be a canon ship - and that ship is THEIRS.

So while I'm for this approach, I don't exactly entirely agree with it. Regardless, the step to making AYA not canon is very interesting, and I'd love to see what that sparks. XD Phinabella is amazing, lemme tell you.
