I don't know where or why I got this idea from, but I decided 'what the heck? I'll write it'. And so ta-da! I did. It is a oneshot, but I encourage people to please R&R. Enjoy! XD I don't own P&F or the song.

Vanessa was sitting at her apartment, tapping her fingers against the table and staring at the clock. There were tearstains still on her cheeks, but she wore a slight smile. She was glad for him, she was glad things were finally working out for him at last. The only problem was, she wasn't supposed to find out.

It all started earlier that day. She went to her favorite restaurant to grab a quick lunch, and when she sat down she thought she saw Ferb sitting across from her… with another woman.

I bet you'd never guess who I saw tonight,
Guess you didn't see me in those low dim lights,
I knew who she was…
By the ring still on her hand.
Sure looked like you wanted to be her man.

Vanessa took a wild guess that the woman Ferb was sitting with was his exfiancé, Maria. About a year ago, Maria broke off the engagement and broke his heart. Vanessa became his closest friend at that time and helped him piece his heart back together. As time went on, she thought of him more then a friend and by the way he acted, he seemed to think the same way about her.

She was reading their lips and watching their facial expressions. Judging by the way Ferb's face looked, he looked relieved and happy. Much to Vanessa disappointment, he took Maria's hands and formed the three words Vanessa would love to hear him say to her…

"I love you…"

So I guess that means that things are better.
Must not be so bad at home,
I thought it looked like you were leaving but it don't.

And I heard you tell her you still love her,

So it doesn't matter what you say.

I saw it all from a table away.

As Ferb and Maria leaned in closer, Vanessa couldn't take watching them anymore, so she grabbed her lunch to go and headed home. Tears were dripping down her face as she drove home. Her feelings for Ferb didn't matter anymore. Perhaps if she'd said something sooner, this wouldn't have happened. But that's not the worst part…

I thought she was pretty,
She's nothing like the things you said.
The woman you described couldn't even turn your head.
The two of you look lost inside a world all your own.
Like you couldn't wait to get her alone.

After Vanessa got home, she cried out her sorrow into a pillow. She loved him so much and she would've stayed with him until the end. But now it was too late. He was going to take back his ex and live happily ever after… without Vanessa.

So I guess that means that things are better.
Must not be so bad at home,
I thought it looked like you were leaving but it don't.
And I heard you tell her you still love her,
So it doesn't matter what you say.
I saw it all from a table away.

After consoling herself and calming down, she decided to sit at the table and await his return. She didn't have to wait too long, about a half hour after she walked through the door, Ferb walked in. He saw her and gave her a small smile, but as soon as he saw the tear stains on her cheeks, he frowned,

"What's wrong, Vanessa?"

She thought that she could lie her way out of this so she wouldn't have to admit to what she saw. But she could never lie to him,

"I saw you…"

Ferb raised an eyebrow, "Come again?"

"I saw you today… at the restaurant… with Maria."

"You… you did? What did you see?"

"The both of you were talking, and you both looked very happy. And… I saw you say that… you loved her…"

"Anything else?"

Vanessa shook her head, "I left right after that…"

Ferb sighed and sat down beside her, "I suppose you think that I'm going to take her back, huh?"

Vanessa gulped back her tears, "Yes…"

"Well… I didn't."

And I heard you tell her you still love her,
So it doesn't matter what you say.
I saw it all from a table away.

"But…" Vanessa spoke, "You said that you still loved her…"

Ferb nodded, "And I do… I'll always care about her but… not the same way that I care about you…"

Vanessa looked up as he took her hands, "But… why did you see her then?"

"She came over to me, to see how I was. And to make sure I still didn't have feelings for her… because she met somebody new."

"She did?"

"Yes, yes she did."

Vanessa smiled, "Well I'm happy for her then."

Ferb chuckled, "But you've never met her before."

"It doesn't matter… and about what you said before, about you caring about me?"

Ferb remained silent.

"Please, Ferb I need to know… do you love me?"

Ferb stayed silent for another moment before smiling,

"Yes I do… I've loved you ever since you helped me get over, Maria. My feelings for you have only grown, I just only hope that… you feel the same way."

Vanessa smiled, "Well it's your lucky day, Ferb. Because I love you too."

Yes you're gonna stay,
A table away.

With their feelings finally confirmed, they both leaned in closer and let their lips slowly meet for a long awaited kiss.

It's short I know, and I'm not even sure if I like it... but whatever, it's for you readers to decide. The song is called From A Table Away and it's by Sunny Sweeney. I could've ended it two ways, the happy way or the sad way... I chose the happy way. :D Okay please review, let me know what you think! XD
