It was New Year's Eve in Danville. The Flynn-Fletchers were in town square with the other locals...but Ferb chose to stay home instead. He was currently in bed, trying to get some sleep.
The young Brit knew this year was a wreck for him. Ever since he found out about Vanessa's boyfriend, Ferb lost his talent for being a ladies man. He fell into a depression so big, not even Phineas could cheer him up.
But as Ferb tried to fall asleep, he remembered seeing a store flyer that read 'Go From Geek to Hot Already!' shortly after he heard about Vanessa's boyfriend. And as he finally managed to drift off, Ferb made a silent resolution to himself: become a new person.
The next morning, Ferb stopped by Googleplex Mall for some supplies. He bought some dye, a pair of contacts, and new clothes. He knew Isabella was having a hard time dealing with Phineas, especially since he accidentally poked her in the eye twice when he tried to kiss her. They were currently taking a break from being a couple.
During that break, Ferb decided to cheer up his female friend, so he decided to stop by her house as soon as he changed his appearance.
Isabella sighed as she looked at her reflection in the bedroom mirror. Ever since the kissing incident, she had to wear large glasses, although she didn't mind that at all. Her hair was currently unkempt with stray locks out of place, a sign she needed new batteries for her straightener. She was wearing a black t-shirt, dark blue jeans, and light blue-light grey sneakers, something she thought she would NEVER wear.
Isabella's thoughts were interrupted when she heard a knock on the door. She rushed downstairs and opened the door, only to see a familiar-looking boy right outside. "Ferb?" she asked.
That was Ferb alright. His natural green hair was dyed strawberry-blonde, he used colored contacts to make his dark blue eyes brown, and he was wearing a red hoodie and blue jeans with his usual sneakers. "I heard a certain girl from across the street needs to be cheered up," he said. "Can I come in and help that girl?"
"Sure thing," Isabella replied.
Eventually, Ferb and Isabella were in the living room sitting on the couch and chewing on pieces of 5 Gum. And right now, Isabella was talking to Ferb about her previous relationship with Phineas.
"I never thought Phineas would hurt me like that," Isabella said. "He was always this sweet and loving guy I dreamed about. I can't believe I'm an idiot to ever think he was my future husband."
"Isabella, don't you dare say that about yourself," Ferb replied. "You're not an idiot. You're an intelligent and beautiful girl, and don't you ever forget that. I hate seeing you feel bad about yourself. And if it makes you feel any better, I'll help you get through this."
Wiping a tear from her eyes, Isabella smiled at Ferb and gave him a platonic hug. He hugged back, rubbing her back as gently as he would. "Thanks Ferb," Isabella said. "You really are a great friend."
