Chapter 1
Monday morning. He rubbed his eyes trying to wake up properly after being annoyed with a very disturbing hammer noise. It was that time of the day when Ferb Fletcher realized he was still living with his best friend and step-brother, Phineas Flynn. They were settled in a great looking apartment very close to their college, Tri-State State. It was big enough to settle around five more people in there, but that way they could just keep all their old inventions they did when they were kids. Ferb saw his brother working on what it appeared to be a project for school, he knew Phineas could've spent the entire night working on it without even realizing, pointing out how oblivious he was.
Phineas heard his brother waking up and turned around. "Hey, bro! Did I wake you up?" he said. Ferb just gave him a displeased look and before he could say anything, Phineas continued.
"Sorry Ferb, I'm just giving the last touches to this 'baby' right here" He pointed out his new invention and turned his head to the window. "I didn't even notice when it dawned, by the way, what time is it?"
Ferb, now standing up, was already grabbing his clothes to get ready when he just pointed the clock on the drawer, letting Phineas know that it was about time to get going.
"Oh boy! It's so late! I promised Isabella I would be picking her up 20 minutes ago, she is going to kill me!" Phineas said while running all over his room looking for a pair of jeans and a shirt to wear. He made his way to the bathroom and watched Ferb doing the same thing. He pushed his brother out of his way and entered before Ferb could do it.
Ferb sighed and couldn't help to smile after seeing Phineas acting so weird since he started dating Isabella. He sat on his bed while remembering the day his brother realized he had serious feelings for their beautiful and charming neighbor.
Phineas was walking his way home from his evening classes when he saw some guys across the street making fun of a young lady for being part of the Fireside Girls Troop. Even though he knew a lot of girls that could be related with that, Phineas turned his head just to notice that it was Isabella García-Shapiro who was being bullied by those guys. Suddenly the normal, good nature Phineas Flynn started to feel the anger run all over his body, he felt the need to crack those guys' heads on the sidewalk and embrace Isabella for protection. He made his way and stood right in front of her.
"You better stay away from her" he said with a furious look on his face. Isabella, standing behind him, was trying to hold her tears fearing for what those guys could do to her loved one. The bullies laughed at Phineas and started to walk closer to them attempting to teach him a lesson. Before they could do anything, Phineas pressed a button on his watch and it threw a laser that made the guys disappear.
"Gee! That was a close one, don't you thi-" before he could finish, Phineas turned around and found Isabella hugging him tightly in gratitude, making him smile and hug her back. They separated from each other when their eyes met and everything in the background just went silent. He got lost in her big blue eyes and felt his heart rate increase like it had never done before, making his cheeks turn red. Isabella giggled by his reaction and without hesitation, placed her hands on his face and brought it closer to hers. They both closed their eyes as their lips met and sealed their love once and for all. When they broke the kiss, they realized Ferb was just standing across the street watching them with a smile on his face. He gave Phineas a thumbs up, in which he answered with a big smile.
They have been together now for 2 years and since then, Phineas has been trying to be the perfect boyfriend for her. Ferb knew that his brother could be the most confident, brave and creative person he have ever met, but when it comes to Isabella, he immediately becomes the clumsiest person in the whole Tri-state Area. Ferb was happy to see his brother acting this way for his girl, he knew that if he had that special someone he could fly to the moon and bring it down just for her.
"Please forgive me Izzy! I was working on my physics project and I didn't notice how late it was, I'm sorryyy!" Phineas said walking behind his girlfriend. Isabella sighed and without looking at him, answered.
"Phineas, honey, it is the third time you forget to come and pick me up at the time we agreed, you are always late" she said. Her eyes were about to drop some tears but she hold them. "It makes me think that you don't care enough about me..."
"Don't say that!" he said and stood in front of her grabbing her shoulders. She looked up. "Isabella, I promise I'll never be late again but please, PLEASE don't say that again, ever. You are the most important person in my life, okay?"
"I believe you" she smiled and kissed his cheek. "I love you"
"I love you too, Isabella"
"Hey, where's Ferb?"
After classes, Ferb stopped by his locker to grab some books he needed and his coat. 'Maybe I can stop by the coffee shop on my way home' he thought.
He closed his locker and found a person standing right by his side, a beautiful young lady with big blue eyes, glasses and brown hair. Ferb dared to look at her carefully, it was obvious she looked way too different than before.
"Gretchen" he said. The girl instantly blushed after hearing the British green-haired boy pronounce her name.
"Hello Ferb" she said and smiled. "I see that you are about to leave, and I was wondering if you were up to doing something tonight, you know, like a d-date".
His eyes widened in surprise. He saw the girl looking down her feet embarrassed on what she just asked. Ferb didn't show it, but he panicked for a few minutes without knowing what to do next. The last time he tried to date a girl it was a total disaster, even though he didn't say or do anything to mess it up, something inside him insisted it was a bad idea. He has known Gretchen since they were kids and he wouldn't like to mess up whatever kind of relationship they had. Suddenly after a few minutes of silence, she spoke up.
"I'm sorry, I should've guessed that you were already busy. I suppose you get this kind of requests every day." she mumbled without looking at him.
"Excuse me" Ferb said. He turned around and walked outside the building, leaving Gretchen alone. She felt like an idiot for even trying. When she decided to leave the aisle, someone behind her cleared his throat, making her turn her head back to see the green-haired boy holding a rose.
"I apologize for being rude, but it appears that I have unfinished business I need to get done back in my apartment," he said and walked a bit closer to her to place the flower in her hand. "Can we discuss this some other time?"
She sighed and took the flower. "Sure, Ferb, see you around." she said with a small grin and watched him leave. Her expression changed right after he walked out the front door.
"Hey girl! Whatcha doin'?...Gretchen?" Isabella said while she was coming near to her friend, "What's with the rose?"
"Ferb…" Gretchen sighed and lowered her head.
"Oh my god, Ferb gave you that flower!? That's great!"
Gretchen's tone got higher. "No, Isabella, it's not. I asked him out again and he gave me this so that I wouldn't feel bad with his rejection."
Isabella placed her hand on Gretchen's shoulder, trying to support her. She knew her friend had been in love with Ferb since they were young, but he never showed interest for her or for any girl in town.
"On the other hand," Gretchen looked back at the rose on her hand. "he has always been polite and charming when it comes to reject girls, not only me but all girls who have tried before". She smiled and glanced at Isabella. "Maybe there's a reason for that".
Something deep inside Ferb kept insisting over the years that he needed to focus on other stuff different than getting a girlfriend. It wasn't that he didn't care, he just couldn't get serious with someone who couldn't cause a spark in his heart. There has only been one person capable of causing his heart rate to increase in an accelerated time frame. The moment they crossed eyes for the first time was just enough to realize that she was the one and only for him. Her name, was Vanessa Doofenshmirtz.
