Perry, the Matchmaker

Part 1

It was a snowy February day, a few days before Valentine's Day. Phineas, Ferb, and their family were at Danville hill, a skiing resort. Everybody was skiing and having a great time.

"Hay Ferb!" Phineas told his stepbrother on top of the snowy slope. "Watch this!" The boy slid of the hill, gaining speed every second. He let go of the poles and hung ten on his skis. "Check this out!"

Ferb covered his eyes with his hands, fearing for the worst. Phineas laughed and returned on skiing normally.

"You know that I'm super careful Ferb." He said. "I would never get hurt on purpose." Ferb looked again, sighing with relief.

The British boy then looked up. He saw two teenagers down below paying for some hot dogs at the hot dog vendor He then noticed the girl who looked familiar to him, was it the girl who he secretly had a crush on? He kept staring until he felt someone nudge him. He looked to see his stepbrother by his side.

"Go down bro!" Phineas encouraged him. "Go on and meet her. You won't know unless you try." Ferb nodded and got on his skis, and slid down.

"Good luck Ferb!" Phineas called after him. "See what she's like!" He too, slid down then.

Vanessa and Johnny have just brought two hotdogs for themselves. Ferb hid behind a snowy branch.

"I'll get us some hot cocoa okay Vanessa?" Johnny said.

"Okay Johnny!" Vanessa responded. She then kissed him. "Come back when you can." Johnny then went to get some. Ferb then emerged from the tree branch.

"Oh hello," Vanessa said. "Ferb right?" Ferb nodded. Vanessa smiled, glanced at the hot dog vendor, and then looked back.

"Want a hot dog?" She asked. Ferb nodded, not believing she was speaking to him like this. She went to the vendor and paid the guy. She then gave the hot dog to Ferb.

"Here you go." Ferb took it, then the two took a bite out of their own.

"Want to go for a slide?" Vanessa asked when they threw their wrappers in the trash. Ferb, once again unbelieving, nodded. Vanessa offered her hand. He grabbed it as the two headed towards the ski lift.

"I'm sure Johnny won't mind as he's buying our coffee."

As Johnny approached, he saw the two skiing down the mountain together. He couldn't believe it, what was his girlfriend doing hanging out with a little kid? He sat down at one of the benches and took a sip.

He got up when they were done, but to his surprise, they went down again. They did it again and again. He sat back down.

Johnny was getting impatient. When they went up again the tenth time, he threw his cup down and pushed hers off in anger. He then had to mop it up for littering.

Phineas then looked around. Candace and Jeremy were sharing a cup of coke.

"Hay Candace," Phineas stated. "Where's Perry?"

"Who cares?" She sighed dreamily. "At least I know where Jeremy is…I don't really care."

"Morning Agent P." Major Monogram greeted the agent platypus who sat in his chair. "Today Doofensmirz is…" Carl came on screen then letter in hand.

"Sir." He interrupted. "You got a letter." Monogram looked at him.

"Can't it wait Carl" He asked the intern. ""I'm lecturing Agent P on today's mission."

"Well okay." Carl went off screen. Monogram continued.

"Anyway," He said. "Before I was so rudely interrupted, Dr. D is…" Perry listened contently. "Doing nothing. He's just sobbing on his bed all day without an explanation. As always, we need you to find out what he's doing and why's he's sobbing. Good luck Agent P." Agent P saluted then was off. Carl appeared on screen again.

"OOOH!" He screeched with interest. He had Monogram's opened letter, reading it silently. "Sir, you have a secret admirer!" Monogram snatched it from him.

"Give me that!" He commanded. "It's probably my mom again. She always sends me Valentine's Day cards."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes Carl, I'm sure." He looked at the letter, and then looked surprised, almost disgusted.

Johnny couldn't take it anymore! When Ferb and Vanessa went up the lift for the 15th time, he stood up, grabbed his skis, and went up after them.

"So Ferb." Vanessa told him as the boy got prepared. "I really enjoyed this." She smiled. "Ready to go down one last time today?" Ferb nodded. "Did you save your best action for last?" Ferb looked up and smiled.

Johnny tapped Vanessa on the shoulder. The girl looked at him, he wasn't happy as he was tapping an angry foot on the snow. Vanessa pretended a smile.

"Oh hey Johnny!" She stopped when it was no use. She sighed.

"Look!" She said. "I know you're angry at me right now, and I'm sorry. It just that Ferb, I was supposed to go down with him just one time, but we were having so much fun, and we…"

"So you abandon me, is that what it was?!" Johnny barked.

"Johnny no, it's just that…"

"Vanessa! I sat, and waited for you for 45 minutes." He looked at Ferb. "And you chose this guy to hang out with, a kid?!" He pushed Ferb to the ground. "Get away from my girlfriend, shortly!" Ferb stood up, dusting the snow off his snow pants. "You honestly thought that she was alone? Your type, huh?"

"Johnny."

"Well you're just wrong little man! Love isn't a game, so I say, just go to your mommy and leave my girlfriend alone!"

"Johnny!" Vanessa stepped up. "Why are you acting like a creep? It's not what you think, we were just..." She then lost her footing, and tumbled down the hill! Both boys' eyes grew big as she screamed for help.

"Vanessa!" Johnny shouted. He got on his skis and was about to go down when Ferb beat him to it. Johnny growled as the boy waved to him, going after the tumbling teenager. Johnny then went after him.

"Oh no you don't!" The boy teen bumped Ferb's skis. "She's mine!" He bumped into the boy's skis until the British kid was heading to the trees! The teenaged boy laughed. Everyone gasped.

Ferb's eyes grew wide as he came closer to the trees. He tried to pull back, but it was no use. The poor boy hit tree branch from tree branch. He then flew off. He tumbled until he fell flat, face first, in the cold snow. Everybody came rushing in. Johnny gasped and stopped.

"What have I done?" Quickly, he began going in Ferb's direction to see if he was all right.

The green haired kid spat out the melted snow in his mouth. He then looked up to see the flying Teenager, screaming for her life. Quickly, Ferb struggled to his feet, and ran. Her opened his arms, and caught Vanessa! Everyone cheered as the Goth girl smiled. Johnny stopped.

"You saved my life." She said. She then kissed him. Everyone oohed, except Johnny who only growled, and slid away. "My little green haired wonder." Ferb just stood there, not moving from his spot.

"You saved her Ferb!" Phineas cheered. "Congrats brother of mine; I knew you could do it!" The British kid then smiled.

Inside his nemesis's apartment room, Perry looked around. Dr. D was nowhere in sight, where was he? Then he heard a faint crying from Dr. D's room. Curious, the platypus went to his bedroom door. He heard it louder now. He opened the door.

He was shock to see Dr. D sobbing on his bed. Thinking it was a trap, he tiptoed to the bed.

When he was beside it, he was surprised that no traps sprang up yet. He looked at Dr. D, he was still crying. The agent mammal sighed, and hopped on his enemy's bed to see what the matter was. He went to the mad scientist's side.

Dr. D noticed his nemesis, but looked down sadly.

"Well Perry the Platypus," He spoke. "It that holiday again, Valentine's Day. Millions of people are celebrating it with their sweethearts… except me!" He cried in his heart shaped pillows. Perry felt sorry for him. Dr. D looked at the three picture frames beside his bed. They were pictures of his past girlfriends. First he looked at the whale loving girl.

"Elizabeth..." He then looked at the girlfriend who was all over Perry. "Margret." Finally he looked at the girlfriend who liked evil as much as he did. "Miranda. All gone!" He cried some more. "And I can never see them again. Please, Perry the Platypus; I want to be alone. No evil today, just leave a sad guy who can't be with no one he loves on Valentine's Day alone! Just leave!" Perry looked at him sadly, hopped out of his bed, and exited the room.

The platypus walked down the hallway feeling sad. True he hated his nemesis, but he hated to see the doctor not himself as well. The platypus felt sympathy towards his nemesis. He sighed sadly.

Suddenly, the semi aquatic mammal had an idea. He snapped his fingers, and raced to the elevators.

Ferb got Vanessa some flowers, and some chocolates in a heart shaped box from the supermarket. When the cashier asked if he was too young to be buying stuff for his sweetheart, he simply said "Yes, yes I am." The cashier then shrugged and told him the cost.

When he got to her backyard, he heard her talking to Johnny. He hid himself beside the house.

"Again Johnny, I'm sorry!" Vanessa said. "Please don't break up with me."

"Look Vinnie." He told her. "That boy of yours is like ten, eleven years old. Too young for you. You're 16, that's a little awkward don't you think?"

"Well yeah but Johnny that was a play date, not a date date!"

"So, you're saying you don't really love him?"

"Heavens no, he needs to understand that I'm not interested and that he's too young." Ferb gasped and looked sad.

"So, you rather be with me?"

"Yes. I rather be someone my own age." She hugged and kissed him. "I love you Johnny."

"I love you too Vanessa." The two kissed again. Ferb felt like his heart has broken into a million pieces.

He threw the flowers and chocolates and the ground, and went home.

On the way, he sadly began kicking a pop can. His eyes were filled with tears. Phineas wondered what was up. He went up to his sad stepbrother.

"Yo Ferb!" He said. "You don't look so good. What's wrong? Come on, you can tell me, your only stepbrother. What's eating you huh?" Ferb didn't listen; too many things were on his mind at the moment.

He really wish he was taker and older, just old enough to be with that chick. Why did he have to be young and short? He wanted to be 16 just like her, not a scwany little eleven year old. He sighed; by the time he reaches 16, Vanessa may be married to him and possibly have children already. Oh, how he wish he could be older and teller.

Then, something hit him. He could make a machine that could make him look older! He ran to the backyard with his idea in mind.

"Ferb"? Phineas asked. "Ferb, what're you doing, Ferb?" He watched as his determined stepbrother go into the backyard.

"Ferb?" He followed him.

"Are you ready to make Go- Karts today Ferb, and race then with our friends across Dansville?" Phineas asked. He was hoping that building Go- Karts would lighten Ferb's mood. Ferb ignored Phineas and kept working. Phineas looked puzzled.

"Ferb what the heck are you doing?" He looked as he stepped on the blueprints. He picked it up and looked at it.

"You want to be older? Ferb, why? Oh, I get it. You want to impress that teenager. But Ferb, are you sure getting older and taller will solve it? I mean, shouldn't you just be yourself? This doesn't sound like something you'll approve of. You know you're making a huge mistake." Ferb put his helmet on and went inside.

"Ferb, I think you should stop this. Mom won't like it, Ferb!" It was too late, the British kid pressed the button, and the door shut, then it began to shake and rumble, Phineas took cover. It stopped and Phineas watched as the door open.

Phineas's jaw dropped as someone stepped out.

"Ferb!" He started. "What have you done? You're…you're… older and taller!"
