An unlikely friendship

A/N This is a short one-shot I came up with and decided to write down, not having any real purpose. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Phineas and Ferb and all characters from the actual show do not belong to me, they belong to Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh.

*Sigh* Phineas was sitting in the science room all by himself, his latest invention having been unsuccessful yet again.

"What in the world is wrong with me larely?" He asked out loud, angry at himself. This was the 3rd version of the invention already, and it still refused to work properly.

His latest invention was a miniature version of a Tesla coil called the 'Flynn Coil', which would be able to send electricity over a vast distance. After finding out that the moon-cow station's power generator was having issues, and not finding the time to go up there and fix it manually, Phineas instead decided to find a way to send electricity to the moonbase directly from Earth. The idea of the Tesla coil came to him after watching the Uncovery Channel, and seemed like a good idea.

After building it, the boy tested it out, and the first one blew up instantly. Then, he re-designed and re-built, and was confident that it would work, only to have it drain the city's power, causing a hour long blackout.

Today, he had spent every minute in school improving and building it, even getting some warnings from teachers as he wasn't paying attention. He was so caught up in his work that he didn't even notice the bell ring at the end of every lesson, and had to be reminded by Isabella to go to the next classroom.

After the final period, which was science had ended, he decided to stay behind for a bit longer and finish his work. After working on it for enother two hours or so, he finally sighed in defeat. "Why won't this stupid thing work, I give up!" He finally shouted in frustration, ready to head home and think of something else that might work.

He then heard the door being opened, and a man in a white lab coat and wearing a purple tie walked into the room. "I could have sworn that I took my house keys with me boford I left school, now where-" his ranting was interrupted once he noticed Phineas, and was slightly startled by the boy's presence.

"Um, hello? I wasn't really expecting for anyone to still be in here, you are one of my students right? Phineas was it?" Dr. Doofenshmirtz asked him, not sure what to make of this situation.

"Yes, that's me, sorry for suprising you like this, I'm headed home now any way" Phineas responded in a low voice.

As he was about to leave, Dr.D stopped him "It's no problem really, but I must know, why were you in here?" Doof asked him, taking his keys from the desk.

Phineas sighed before explaining himself "Becouse of this-" he then took the Tesla coil out of his backpack and held it in both hands, and also showed Doofenshmirtz his papers with the calculations "I've been trying to get this thing to work for like the past 3 days, but no matter what I do it won't transmit any electricity..."

The pharmacist eyed the invention and then the papers, before taking them into his own hands and examaning them very carefully. Phineas wanted to take his invention back and head home, certain that his teacher would have no clue what to do with it. Doofenshmirtz then smiled and said in an impressed voice "You built this? You did a good job but I think I know where the problem is, you made a mistake here in you calculations-" Doof then corrected the mistake "-and you wired it wrong. Let me just do this and...this.. There we go!" Dr.D triumphantly exclaimed after tinkering with it for a few moments.

He handed the invention to Phineas. "Try it!" He beckoned. Phineas then turned the invention on, and was delighted to see it transmitting a high ammount of electricity. "All you have to do now is set to where you want the power to go, and viola!" Doof finished.

Phineas smiled widely. "Wow, that's amazing! But, how did you know what the problem was, aren't you just a science teacher?" Phineas asked him, impressed that the man had fixed his invention like it was child's play.

Doof smiled at the boy. "Well, I used to make a lot of -inators back in the day before I started teaching, so you can say that I'm kind of an expert for this sort of thing" he explained to the boy with a proud voice.

"You're an inventor?" Phineas asked, to which Doof nodded "Awesome! I had no idea my science teacher was this cool, mind showing me some of your inventions? I got some time before I have to head home!" the boy asked him with enthusiasm, wanting to see some of the man's work.

Doof was at first suprised by the offer, before he too smiled widely "Sure thing kid, I can show you a trick or two that might help you out, plus I have a lot cool stuff back home! That is, if you're up for it?" Phinesas nodded, and the two made their was to Doof's building, where they discussed several of the man's inventions.

And so, an unlikely friendship between a former evil genius and a enthusiastic young inventor was formed, the two having a lot in coommon than meets the eye.

End notes : I suprisingly really enjoyed writing this, and might do more one-shots. What do you guys think?
