(*Note: Phineas and Ferb or any of the other characters do not belong to me they belong to Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh. This is my first story so please cut me some slack since I'm not a very good with writing )

Isabella was sitting on the sidewalk, crying. Phineas had dumped her. The worst part is he lied to her. He told her he loved her with all his heart. She felt like dying. Somebody sat next to her, it was Ferb. He saw she was crying and offered his handkerchief to dry her tears. Iz took it gratefully, wiping away her tears. He asked her if she was alright.

-"How can I be alright? If your brother just dumped me for Gretchen! My friend, because she was hotter and less annoying." she said, in a tone if disgust. Then saying some Spanish curses under her breath.

She was quiet, and then she spoke again:

-"Am I really that annoying and ugly? Please tell me Ferb, I need to know!" resuming to cry.

-"No Isabella, you're perfect. Don't listen to what Phineas said to you." he whispered to her ear.

-"you really think so?"

- "I know so"

Ferb knew what it felt like to not be loved back from a special person in their life. Vanessa broke his heart in France in the 6th grade. He really loved her, or so he thought.

He wiped away a tear from her pretty heart-shaped face. They caught each other's eyes for just a moment and Isabella saw a small glint in Ferb's eyes. She thought she saw him blush slightly. Then the moment ended abruptly. She sunk into his arms sobbing quietly and rested her head on his shoulder, letting her long silky black hair caress his bare arm. Now she felt a little bit better.

He would give anything for Iz to love her like he did. Phineas was such an idiot to not see her as more than just a "friend" before. Now annoying and ugly, those were two words that couldn't describe Isa. She was beautiful and smart.

Ferb was angry with his brother, he didn't respond in any way to anything that Phineas directed at him. Still Phineas didn't seem to understand at Ferb's sudden change of attitude towards him. He was really oblivious and shallow.

"Ferb, what's up with you? You don't seem to want to 'talk' to me. Are you mad at me?" – Phineas asked Ferb one day at breakfast.

Ferb just continued to eat his cereal.

"Ferb, I asked you something…"

He had it, Phineas had to stop being to ignorant. He got up with so much force that he knocked the chair backwards.

"Why? Are you serious? You don't realize what you've done have you?"

"Does this have something to do with Isabella?"

"Yes it does! She was so hurt when you dumped her! Especially because of the things you said to her! She practically wanted to kill herself!" His voice had risen to a scream. Then he stormed out of the kitchen, leaving Phineas speechless, he'd never seen Ferb so mad.

The next morning Isabella went to knock at the Flynn-Fletcher home, to her dismay Phineas was the one that answered it. He seemed really ashamed. She asked if Ferb was home, he was so she went up the stairs to his room. Ferb opened the door just a crack to see who it was. Once he saw it was Isabella he opened it wide to let her in. she wandered into the room looking around at what he had, though there was a lingering smell of Ferb's cologne, Calvin Klein.

"Umm…hi?" Ferb said still in his pajamas (boxers and a shirt)

"Oh yeah, what I came here to tell you was…" she started, she was nervous and the fact that Ferb was still in his pj's wasn't really helping.

But, just when she was going to confess that she loved him, she decided not to. Perhaps it wasn't the right time.

"Just... thanks for being there last night to console me, I really appreciate it."

Ferb's heart sank; he really thought Isabella was going to tell him something different, maybe that she loved him.

No she couldn't. Not yet, she still wasn't sure that he really loved Ferb, maybe it was just friendship mistaken for affection and lack of somebody to love. But inside she knew that wasn't it.

She left the house regretting not telling Ferb what she felt.
