Phineas Flynn was broken.

Usually a man of such excitement and fun felt drained.

This was the boy that always had a plan, why had suddenly his mind froze? Why at this moment when he needed a game plan more than anything, he was silent.

Phineas figured his best move was to talk to Ferb. If anyone knew anything about how to handle the ladies, Ferb Fletcher was the guy. He had dated a few girls here and there, none for too long, but he had a very good understanding on how they thought. It probably had something to do with his Britishness.

Phin walked down the stairs to the den, where Ferb was watching something on the History Channel. "Ferb" Phineas said, in a low voice, " Can I talk to you?".

Ferb looked up from the TV, and met Phins saw the brokenness of Phins heart, yet was glad that Phineas had come to him. "Of course you can, wanna talk hear or would you rather go get some fresh air?" Ferb said reassuringly.

"I think the backyard would be a good place" Phineas nodded as Ferb turned off the TV. The boys walked outside to the big tree which they planned all their schemes. It seemed fitting that they would talk here of all places.

As they both sat down, Phin took a big breath and started speaking, " First off I am so sorry for snapping at you today. I have been such a mess all day. You're right and you've always been right. I shouldn't have waited so long to tell Isabella. Now though, I'm stuck. What do I do Ferb? I can't stand to see her with Drew, I don't want to wait. Yet that's so rude and self centered of me to do. I'm so confused. "

Ferb looked out into the distance, and sighed. This was such a difficult situation. So many hearts were on the line. " Honestly Phin, I don't know. I don't want you to loose hope though. Love is energy, it can never be destroyed, just converted. Isa's taken her love energy for you, and converted it into love for Drew. It can be converted back though. I don't think you should try to step in, but I do think you should tell Isabella how you feel. If she wants to convert that energy back to you, then congrats. If not you have to accept your fate. Be patient with her, and remember to speak from the heart." Ferb exhaled. He looked at Phineas, seein if anything that he said had registered with him.

" Speak from the heart. I think I can do that." Phineas smiled. " Ferb, you're the best. I should have taken your advice from day one and just told Isabella years ago."

" Phin, you've been in denial for so long. It's really great that now you can come to terms with the truth. You love Isa, don't you?" Ferbs eyes locked onto Phineas's.

" Yeah. Yes. I mean I always had but in a different way then I love you and Candace. More than any other friend I've ever had. Gosh Ferb, how was I this blind for so long? I build insane things everyday and yet I can't figure out how much I loved Isabella until now."

"Well. I think you're a smart boy and can figure it out. This isn't rocket science." Ferb smiled.

"I guess" Phineas said, and then sighed, as Ferb got up to get back to his program.
