The alarm broke off the silence at 7:00am. A red-headed Phineas Flynn got up and switched it off.

"Oh boy, you know what day it is today is Ferb?" The boy said enthusiastically to his stepbrother, Ferb Fletcher, whose bed was across the room.

His sleepy brother smiled at him though inside he was feeling rather upset. It was the 'Boys Ask Ladies L-omething" where the boys are required to ask girls out to go for a dance near Danville's lake. The only girl Ferb had in mind to ask was Vanessa. How he fell instantly in love with her the first time he met. How for the fact that though he was usually a very focused man, he fell prey to her beautiful eyes. Her soft, brown hair- Oh, how wonderful and amazing it was to see it dancing gracefully as the wind blows. When he laid eyes on her, it was like the birds were singing, like the everything in the world disappeared, like the world couldn't anymore-

"… So have you decided who you wanted to ask out yet?"

Ferb had not realised that he had been so spaced out just thinking about Vanessa. He stared at Phineas and looked down at his bed sheets.

"I was thinking of asking- Ferb, are you okay?"

Phineas realised how his brother looked so distant, so upset. That made him feel uneasy. Ferb looked out of the window. He couldn't think of going out with anyone else but Vanessa. The problem was he had no idea where she could be. Sure, Danville's a small city but there are still thousands of people living here.

"If I'm not wrong, you are thinking of a girl that you want to ask out for the dance but the problem is, you can't find her. Am I right?"

Ferb was impressed with his stepbrother. Sure, they weren't blood related. But they were so close you could say that they were two peas in a pod. He gave a tiny nod at Phineas.

"Ferb, I know what we're going to do today," Phineas declared.

Candace Flynn looked at her calendar.

"Oh boy! It's Saturday a.k.a Boys Ask Ladies L-omething a.k.a Jeremy's going to ask me out for the dance," the teenager squealed to herself.

She fancied Jeremy Johnson very much. Though they were only dating but weren't officially girlfriend/boyfriend yet, Candace could not stop dreaming about him. Heck, she even came up with names for their children.

Just then, Candace heard her phone ringing. Checking her caller ID, she realised that it was her best friend, Stacy, calling.

"Hey Stace. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh," Candace tried to hold her excitement.

"Candace, I gotta tell you som-"

"I can't wait for Jeremy to ask me out to the ball," Candace interrupted.

"Candace, you really need to-"

"We're gonna dance and sing and maybe even kiss."

"Seriously, you've got to-"

"Oh, it going to be so wonderful," Candace couldn't help but smile at the thought of it.

"CANDACE! JEREMY ISN'T GOING TO ASK YOU OUT!" her best friend snapped.

Over the line, Stacy clamped her hands to her mouth. Okay, that wasn't breaking down the news gently like I planned, Stacy thought.

She could here her friend struggling to find the right words to say.

With all her strength, Candace finally said, "Wha-What?"
