The music room at the high school was located in the basement of the high school, the only place big enough to fit all the music instruments. Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella were enrolled in the music elite program. Those who were in the program took a well-rounded course of band, theory, chorus, composition, and music appreciation. Many of the tri-state area's local bands were in the program.
Isabella rushed downstairs to the music room. Once she reached the room she all but threw her belongings into the corner and ran to the guitar. The other kids followed soon, some sitting in the chairs at the back of the room to compose, others making their way to various instruments to practice or write songs. When the bell rang their teacher, Danny (he didn't want to be referred to as anything else), addressed the teenagers.
"Hey everyone, since this is the last class any of you will have this school year, we are going to have a mini concert. You have twenty minutes to polish up your creations and then we will all listen to them together."
Isabella went back to what she was doing. She had already finished her major song for the year. Her main focus right now was to write a song to go with the poem she wrote last period. If all went well, she had a song to perform at the talent show and give Phineas a hint at what was going on with Raquel.
Unfortunately, luck wasn't on her side today. She strummed and arranged and rearranged, yet nothing seemed to be good enough. Every time she thought she had a good melody, she would add the words to it and find it wouldn't fit. It was too rock and roll, too bluesy, too depressing, or some other extreme. When the twenty minutes were up, Isabella trudged back to a seat at the back of the room and sat down. When it was her turn to perform, she did it flawlessly despite her mood. She numbly listened to the other performances, clapping when necessary, all the while still trying to figure out a tune to accompany her song. Before she knew it the final performance was being announced.
"So there is about five minutes left in the school year" Danny announced, "That is just enough time to squeeze the final performance in. Ferb has written a piano piece for us all. Give him a round of applause!"
Ferb walked up to the front of the room and sat down in front of the piano. Isabella prepared to go into back into her thinking haze, but when the first notes of Ferb's piece began to play, she could only listen in awe.
It was perfect! It had a lounge-like jazz feel to it, and Isabella felt it hit her feelings right on the nose. After a couple minutes, she tried adding the words from her poem to the melody. She was surprised to find they fit almost perfectly. A wide grin made its way across her face as the song came to a close. After applauding for Ferb, Danny made a final speech about keeping the music alive, but Isabella was too busy being excited. As soon as the bell rang, she caught up with Ferb amongst the hundreds of students celebrating the end of the school year.
"Hey Ferb! Can I talk to you for a second?" Isabella asked when she got in earshot. Ferb slowed down and turned to look at her. Since Ferb had yet to become a man of more than a few words, she took that as her cue to continue.
"So I wrote a poem in Creative Writing today and I wanted to know if maybe the song you just performed could be the music and my poem be the lyrics. It's perfect and that way I have something to perform at the talent show."
Ferb just looked at her for a second, then nodded slowly.
"Thanks Ferb, you are the best!" Isabella exclaimed. She said goodbye to Ferb and made her way to the buses. She had approximately 5 hours before she was set to perform, and she had a lot still to prepare.
