(Isabella's P.O.V.)

Perry's been acting rather different lately. I'm not sure if it's around me, or if it's all the time. But the way he does act, I never see him acting like that to Phineas and Ferb…..

I think to how he's been acting, the way he's snuggling up against me, and the flower in my hand.

I think and think and think, and something pops into my head.

Perry's has a very intelligent brain, so what if…

I blush slightly at the thought.

Later, Phineas, Ferb, and I go inside to have lunch. Perry had fallen asleep, so I lay him down on the floor.

I finally suck it up, and get the courage to tell Phineas what I think.

"Phineas, there's something I need to tell you."

Upon hearing that, Candace choked slightly on her food. She looked at me from across the table.

I knew what she was thinking. I subtly shook my head. She seemed to notice.

"What is it, Isabella?" Phineas asked me.

"I'm not sure if it's really true, but it sure seems that way," I said. Candace leaned on the table, while Ferb didn't move.

"It feels so weird just saying out loud, so I'll whisper it."

I leaned over to him and whispered in his ear. Candace leaned in, but Ferb pulled her away.

I sat back and began blushing. Phineas sat there for a while, then finally said, "Perry bikes up a tree?"

Candace gave me a quizzical look.

He obviously misheard, and that little miscommunication was making it that much harder.

I sighed, my blush growing brighter. "No, I whispered again, Candace leaning in again, only to have Ferb pull her away.

Finishing, I leaned back again. Phineas sat there, apparently taking it in. I hope he heard me right.

"Oh," he said calmly. His eyes suddenly widened. "OH!"

He got the message.

"Oh, thank goodness!" I say in relief. "I was afraid I'd have to draw you a picture!"

I walk out of the room, unsure of what to think, and I leave my friends to soak it up.
