The young man, budding artist of eighteen and a best friend second only to Ferb, was peering with sly curiosity, the corners of his narrow lips turned up in a slight grin. Phineas was a breath away from answering when he hesitated, distracted.

It was as if he had stepped out of one of his own masterpieces. Django was the personification of artistic divinity.

With a great deal of effort, Phineas managed to bite back the sensation of awe and replied with a defiant "no."
