The Begging...
~Vanessa's point of view~
31st of August.
Ferb's 18 birthday
That's what I saw in my calendar this morning. And I smiled. I had a plan for that day, a brilliant plan.
...
I knew that Phineas and his girlfriend, Isabella, were organising a surprise party for Ferb. Just after their school, Ferb is going to go to his little apartment. Then a big cake and dancing till sundown.
And after that my plan comes alive.
...
~Few hours later at Ferb's~
- Happy 18th! - a loud cheer came from the room. It was full of Ferb's friends, they were all very happy and carrying big presents.
- All the best, old bro! - that was Phineas. He gave Ferb a big friendly hug. And the present. Keys to his own car!
- It's a present from me and parents. I hope you'll like it!
After that the whole crowd of people was wishing Ferb the best day ever and all that stuff.
But he was looking for just one girl, Vanessa. But he couldn't find her anywhere.
''I guess she's not coming...'' - he thought to himself.
Suddenly, he felt vibrations in his pocket. A message. He couldn't hear the ringtone cause the music was so loud. Ferb took out his phone and looked at the screen.
'Vanessa'
Happy birthday! I'm so sorry that I'm not with you but I'm still working.
It'll take long so don't wait for me with the cake.
Maybe we can meet for a coffee tomorrow? xo
How he loved that xo at the end of each message... That's too bad that she's working. ''I'll call her later''.
Meanwhile, Isabella brought the cake. It was big, 3 layered, green as Ferb's hair. Everyone loved it.

They were dancing and having fun. Around ten pm people got tired and slowly the apartment was getting emptier and emptier.
At eleven there were only Ferb and Phineas. Isabella went home earlier because she was feeling not too well.
Brothers went to the garage to see the new car.
Ferb could definitely see Phineas's hand in this project.
- It's not just any car. It has all the cool gadgets you designed for the cars in the old days of our summers.
You can even go to the Moon in this car! - and a big smile appeared on Phineas's face.
- You remember Meap? And that time we went to the Moon to try the best ice-cream ever?
- Yes. Yes, I do. - with age Ferb became more talkative but he was still a quiet man of few words.
- It's just shame that Vanessa couldn't come... I know you like her.
- Yeah. But we are meeting for coffee tomorrow.
- That's good. Ok... I have to go now. I think I need to check if Isabella is alright. Happy birthday again! Bye!
- It was really good to see yea, Phineas. Thanks again for the car. Give my best to parents. Bye!
Ferb pushed the button near the door and closed the garage. He went upstairs, to his bedroom, to finally call Vanessa.
''I just hope she's not asleep yet''
He just found his phone and was about to dial the number he knew by heart. Suddenly, he heard the doorbell.
''It's probably Phineas. He forgot something again. That is it this time. A blow torch, a scarf...''
While he was walking down the stairs he listed the things his brother keeps forgetting.
By the time he got to the door there was about a thousand of them.
He found the keys and opened the door.
But it wasn't Phineas who was standing on the doorstep...
