A/N Here is the next little chapter I came up with, and I must say that this is (personally) the best idea so far! +I am shocked that a few people didn't know about Perry and Stacy, watch the episode 'Happy Birthday Isabella!' and it will all make sense. Any way, onto the story!

Disclaimer: Phineas and Ferb and all characters from the actual show do not belong to me, they belong to Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh.

The Awards Ceremony Speech

Phiness was sitting behind his desk, the paper in front of him still blank. The 30-year-old inventor sighed; the awards ceremony was tomorrow, yet he could not come up with a decent speech. Frustrated, he buried his nails into his head and groaned loudly "Argggggh!" He then let his head fall onto the desk, and closed his eyes.

Moments later he heard the door on the other end of the room open, so he opened his eyes, lifted his head up and turned towards door. He spotted his lovely wife standing there, bearing a concerned expression "Phiny, are you alright? You've been in this room for over 4 hours now!"

Phineas smiled softly and responded "I'm fine sweetheart, no need to worry. I just can't seem to come up with my speech for tomorrow is all"

The man turned back towards the desk, took the blank paper in hand, and sighed. Isabella then walked over to him, and wrapped her arms around his neck, trying to compfort him.

Phineas spoke up "I just don't know what to write! This speech has to be perfect, otherwise I'm gonna make a complete fool of myself! " his voice sounded very upset.

"That's ridiculous! You're putting way too much pressure on youself" Isabella stated.

"Well of course I'm putting a lot of pressure on myself Isabella. I mean we came all the way to Switzerland for this awards ceremony, yet I can't even come up with a decent speech! I'm going to look like an idiot tomorrow unless my speech is perfect!" He then sighed sadly.

Isabella then asked him "Why don't you just explain how you came up with this invention or something like that?"

"Becouse it wasn't even my idea to begin with!" The man explained.

"Oh? How so?" Isabella asked him curiously.

He though on how best to explain it to her. "Well, you remember my old mentor right?" He asked.

Isabella responded "How could I forget? I mean the man installed a self-destruct button on our dishwasher!"

Phineas chuckled "Yeah, he did love his buttons. Any way, as I was saying, I had to find a way to fuse metal and wood together, but I just couldn't figure out how. So then I called him for ideas, and he showed me his old Combine-inator that basically does the same thing as my wood/metal fuser, only that it works with anything! If it hadn't been for him, I would never have completed this thing"

Isabella thought for a moment "Well, if you think so highly of him, why not thank him, I'm sure he'd be happy knowing that you look up to him so much"

Phineas jumped a bit, and made a cheerful expression "That's it! Isabella you're absolutely right, it just wouldn't be right to leave him out of this!" Phineas then picked up his pen "Let's see, dear..." he then began mumbling to himself as he wrote. Isabella smiled, and kissed him on the cheek before leaving the room.

Phineas was very nervous. In a few moments, he would have to go on stage to accept his award and give a speech. After Isabella had left the previous night, the man had spent several hours making his speech, not willing to go to bed until it was done.

Isabella saw his nervousness, so she placed a compforting hand on his leg and gave him a reassuring smile.

The man on stage then spoke up "And now, I humbly invite Phineas Flynn to join me on stage, and claim his rightfully deserved award!"

Upon hearing it, Phineas stood up and made his way on stage, the audience applauding him all the way. The man on stage passed him the award and shook his hand, then motioned for him to go to the speaker's stand. The inventor's heart was pouding as he stared at the audience, and at several cameras that were broadcasting this important event.

The audience fell silent as they eagerly awaited his speech. Phineas took one final deep breath, smiled, then began:

"Dear friends, inventors, fellow scientists. I am truly honored to have been chosen for this award. Ever since I was young, I had always dreamed that one of my inventions would one day benefit mankind. Here I stand before you, living that very dream. I worked tirelessly in order to create this wood/metal fuser, and seeing my work rewarded to such an extent gives me a feeling unlike any other, however-" Phineas paused briefly, making the audience wonder what he was going to say next.

Phineas looked at Isabella, who in turn gave him a reassuring nod. The man smiled, turned back to the audience, and continued "-however I can not by any means take all the credit for this invention. You see, while it is true that I did make the invention presented to you, the concept for it belongs to a man without whom I would not be where I am today. This man offered me help whenever I needed it, taught me things I never even knew existed, and provided me with advice throughout my entire career. I am talking about none other than my old mentor, brilliant inventor and good friend Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz! So without further ado, I would just like to say the following to him; Thank you!"

Phineas then bowed his head, and the audience applauded him once more. His speech may have been short and rather unusual, but it came from the heart, which everyone in the room was aware of and knew to appreciate.

Back in the Tri-State Area, an old pharmacist who was watching the live broadcast, couldn't help but smile, happy to be appreciated, and a sense of pride running through his heart.
