Sitting at the table, Phineas eagerly told his mother what they were doing in the backyard. "That's great, Phineas." Linda said, taking her son's words lightly. She had gotten used to those fantasies. Mostly Candace's, but sometimes Phineas would tell her something as well.

"Mom, Ferb and I are taking our friends with us to visit some of Ferb's old friends next Tuesday," Phineas brought their plan up. "His dolphin friends."

"Phineas, you have such a great imagination," answered his mother, apparently not believing what she had just heard and shaking it off with the perception that Phineas must be fantasizing, as usual. She left the table, leaving the childrens there.

The gang discussed a little more on the planned trip next Tuesday, and just as the topic began to turn to their love for Perry, the platypus crept underneath the table, going unnoticed.

Isabella was taken by surprise when Perry hopped into her lap unexpectedly. Staring at the gorgeous creature, she was completely stupefied and speechless, with only one thing on her mind: speak of the devil. I wonder why he jumped into my lap and not Phineas's, though.

The redhead saw that, and he remarked, "Hey, I think Perry likes you, Isabella." Isabella petted the platypus for a while, and then Perry shifted over to his owner Phineas.

Isabella was struck by the one word Phineas had said. The word is "like". Like? Well I like you, Phineas. A lot, more than you can even start to imagine. But you could never tell, even with me giving those all-too-serious hints. Day after day, week after week, month after month, summer after summer! And now you see that your pet like me, but no, you don't see that I like you a million times more than he likes me. Oh, when will you do?

She moved closer to her crush, who allowed her to cuddle on his shoulder without a word. However, the girl knew he was only being his kind and friendly self; there were absolutely no romantic feelings involved the way the boy saw it. He didn't show any affection toward Isabella.

They all went on talking. Ferb had veen taciturn throughout the entire talk, simply listening to others. He left the table and headed upstairs right after the discussion had come to an end.

Ferb had always wanted to write a song to express his unrequited love for his pet (and vice versa), but after the second dimension incident, it was really hard not to write about Perry without writing something relating to him being a secret agent. He don't want to write that kibd of stuff, because if he really did, Phineas and Perry would know that he had known Perry's secret, and Perry's secret would be revealed to the redhead, too.

But now the perfect idea came to him. Like a bolt out of the blue, it struck him. He had finally found the way to word it, and it doesn't involve disclosing his forbidden knowledge.

The Brit was back rather soon with a notebook in his hand. He sat down and wrote, in cursive, in his notebook, with a pen between the pages. Phineas got curious and asked, "what are you writing, Ferb?"

Ferb, having just finished writing, showed Phineas his notebook so that his stepbrother could see what he was writing. "Oh, it's a poem about Perry" -Ferb shook his head- "oh yeah, a song about him," Phineas corrected himself. "I think I should have gotten it right the first time." Phineas added, "anyway, that is quite cool."

They played a couple of board games. In one game, Buford had attempted to cheat by switching his card with one of those on the board; nevertheless, Ferb caught him as the bully was just about to reach out.

I can see what you're trying to do; you can't hide from me. You ain't all that sneaky, no. So just don't do it, unless you want anybody else to notice it, said Ferb through his hard glare. Embarrassed, Buford ditched his initial intention, even though there were actually nobody else than himself and Ferb who knew.

After their friends had left, Ferb strummed a bunch of chords on his wooden acoustic guitar. He decided on the chords very quickly, and he wrote them in his notebook, above the corresponding lyrics. Then he wrote the chords on another page again.

"So you want to borrow my room to record a song?" Ferb nodded, and his sister continued, "but why don't you just do it in you and Phineas's room?"

Ferb gave an expression, but Candace could not decode his message at first. She had to think for a moment before she finally got what he was trying to say. "Oh, you meant that my room has better acoustics." Ferb gave her a thumbs-up.

Candace said, "all right then." She left her room, but of course, not before reminding her younger stepbrother, "but Ferb, don't you mess with my things." The Brit gave another thumbs-up, meaning "for sure I won't". He proceeded to start recording the song as soon as Candace closed the door.

He played the guitar as he sang. It wasn't long before he had completed with the recording. He went out of the room with his guitar and his laptop, which has the final edited and polished recording of this original song of his, Nonverbal.

Ferb showed Phineas the song, and they uploaded it onto Ferb's blog. People around the world started to listen to the song right away, and the downloads skyrocketed overnight. Nine million downloads within twenty minutes of the uploading of the song.

Perry gave the song a listen in his hover car the following day, on his way to Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, his destination to fight evil every day.

Well, technically speaking, it was not really "every day", since Doofenshmirtz would sometimes call in sick, in which case Major Monogram would still send the secret agent platypus to his place, and Perry would end up taking care of his terribly sick nemesis. It had been always like that.

Additionally, the evil scientist's schemes weren't all " evil. Some of them were just silly and made no sense.

The very first time he heard the song, the platypus fell in love with it. Ferb wrote song for me, that's perfect. Honestly, what is said in the song is exactly what I feel. And the music is so beautiful, even if it's just Ferb and his guitar. I am so going to make a cover of this one.
