So, I saw the episode of Phineas and Ferb that aired on Monday and I have to say that it was both funny and creepy. To avoid spoiling it for people who haven't seen the return of the renegade rabbit I won't talk about it but I will say this, Isabella is getting more and more desperate, she completely jumped to conclusions based on ONE SENTENCE that Phineas said and I didn't even see the romantic implications until Isabella almost pointed it out but I digress. Before I hit up the reviews I should tell people something … or clarify seeing as I already said it, the story board for this story has already been written so is you request something, chances are, it's not going to happen unless I already planned it, sorry. Now on to the reviews.

Yarthayaj'knaushtavdhladleklwa: You worry me, you know that.

Irresistiblecookie: Maybe, only time will tell.

Renner15: Sorry, I can't tale requests for this story seeing as it's basically all planed out.

Phinbella-cute1: Well this story is supposed to be fast, I want to keep it under 10 chapters. As for Isabella, well she has nearly given up … I'm trying to remember what was in this chapter but it is alluding me at the moment. And thank you for the clarification.

LadyJeda25reader: Actually I'm thinking of ending the chapter right here and postponing it another month … you know I'm joking, right?

(Ferb's POV)

(The next day)

I groggily opened my eyes, I didn't sleep very well on the couch. Mom and dad were curious as to why I was sleeping on the couch, but after saying that Phineas was upset, they didn't question it. I got off the couch and made my way over to the kitchen. There I saw Phineas eating breakfast and I assumed that he had cooled off. I got a bowl from the cabinet and began pouring myself some cereal. "Good morning Phineas." I said, as I sat down.

Phineas looked up from his breakfast to leer at me. "What makes you think I'm in any mood to talk to you?" He retorted.

I let out a sigh and shook my head. "Looks like you're still caught up on that."

"Excuse me?" He said as he slammed his hands on the table. "You stole the love of my life from me! You expect me to just get over that?"

"First off, people lose their crushes all the time Phineas, there's no need to get upset about it and second-"

"It wasn't just you taking her, it was that you took her behind my back without even telling me; you knew that I loved her!"

I shook my head. "And secondly-"

"Secondly, she's more than just a crush Ferb, I've had feelings for her since the day I met her!"

I looked at Phineas, surprised for a few moments, before shaking my head. "No … no, you've only liked her for a few months."

"No Ferb, I've always felt something for her that was more than just friendship; it's only in the past few months that … you know what, it's none of your business."

"It is too my business!" I retorted. "You're my brother and it's import-"

"IF IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO YOU, THEN WHY DID YOU GO AND MAKE OUT WITH HER TO BEGIN WITH?!" Phineas snapped.

I sat there in shock for a moment before getting up and putting my now finished bowl of cereal in the sink. "Let's just hope that you can put this aside in time for the movie."

"I'm not doing it." He retorted, causing me to quickly look at him, shocked.

"But you have to, you're the lead male role, we can't do the movie without you."

"Then it looks like you'll have to take my place then and be with your damn girlfriend." He got up and stormed out of the kitchen leaving his bowl on the table.

"I need to solve this … and I need to so it fast."


(Ferb's POV)

(A short time later)

I was standing in front of Isabella's front door thinking about what I should tell her. "Should I tell her the truth? … no, I have a solemn vow to uphold, I can't tell her that Phineas has been in love with her this whole time … so how do I do this without hurting her feelings?"

Just then, the door opened without provocation revealing Isabella. "Oh, Ferb, you're here early." She grabbed me by the collar and dragged me inside. "I guess you were just eager to see me." She purred as she dragged me over to a nearby couch.

"Actually." I began as I got free. "I wanted to … um …"

"What is it?" She asked as she reclined on the couch.

'I am so not getting on another couch.' I thought as I took a step back. "I was wondering … why did you fall for me?"

"Well that's obvious." She said as she sat back inviting me to sit next to her. "For starters, you're an extremely helpful person, you've been trying to get Phineas to notice me, even though he has absolutely no interest in me."

'You're joking right?' I thought. 'The only reason I did that was because Phineas is my brother.'

"Always looking to help people." She said as she taped the seat next to her.

I let out a silent sigh and sat down next to her as she snuggled up to me. 'Once again, that's Phineas, I'm not really "looking" to help anyone, and I wouldn't turn someone down if they asked for help.'

"You're so creative, you were the one who thought up the idea for the movie that you and Phineas are doing today."

'Are you serious? That was a joke, Phineas was the one who acted on it and thought up an entire script that could make it work without revealing his feelings for you.'

"And you're just so optimistic." She said as she snuggled her head into my chest.

I immediately stood up and gave Isabella a quick nod. "I'm sorry Isabella but I just remembered a previous appointment, I must be going now."

" All right." She said unhappily. "When should I come over to work on the movie?"

"We're … putting it off due to technical difficulties." I said with a grin.

She looked at me, a little depressed. "Well okay, I just hope you find the solution to the problem soon."

"I hope so too." I said before waking out. "I really hope so."


(Ferb's POV)

(A short time later)

I was sitting in the food court in the mall, thinking out loud while drinking a smoothie. "Well this is a fine kettle of fish I'm in, Isabella thinks that she's in love with me but she only sees qualities that I don't possess … and she's still in love with Phineas."

I shook my head and sighed. "So I need to get Isabella to realize that she's really in love with Phineas … and to make Phineas finally admit his feelings for Isabella. The only person I know who would even think that would be possible is Phineas, himself and even he would be skeptic."

"Skeptic about what?" I heard Buford ask as he walked over.

"Oh, hi Buford, I'm just going through a little crisis right now, nothing too serious."

"Tell me about it." He said as he sat down. "Who knows, I might be able to help."

"Yeah, and Perry might be a secret agent who disappears every day to fight an evil pharmacist."

"You honestly think that Perry is a secret agent?" Buford asked in surprise.

I looked at him annoyed. "Yes Buford, I really think that my platypus who doesn't do much is really a secret agent."

"Wow Ferb, you …" Buford froze. "You were being sarcastic, weren't you?"

"No shit Sherlock." I retorted.

"Well then, tell me and we will see from there." He said as he crossed his arms.

I let out a sigh and shook my head. "Well … During a conversation Phineas and Isabella had, Phineas said that he didn't want a romantic relationship with her-"

"Let me stop you for a moment." Buford interrupted. "I know all about Phineas's crush with Isabella and he probably meant that he didn't crave a relationship with her but wouldn't mind one."

"Wait … since when do you know about Phineas's feelings for Isabella? … And where did you hear that he doesn't crave a romantic relationship with her?"

"I've known about it for some time, he's had those feelings for her since they were kids."

I paused and thought to myself for a moment. "He did say something about having feelings for her since he met her … but his feelings for her were more than that."

"Really?" Buford asked. "Huh … must have happened recently. But I digress, go on with the story."

I cleared my throat and continued. "Well, here's how it went."


Well, that's the end of that chapter and I have other stuff to do so I can't stay and chat.
