Chapter 5

Isabella released her breath again. Her hiccups were gone. "That's better," she said. She approached Phineas and Ferb. For some reason everyone around her began laughing.

"Hey, Phineas?" she asked.

Phineas turned around with a huge smile. He chuckled, "Oh. Hey, Isabella. What's up?"

"Well, you know that secret admirer note? I know who wrote it."

"Oh do you?" Phineas said in an unsure way.

"Well, I-" Isabella was interrupted by Phineas and Ferb's snickering.

"What's so funny?"

"We don't know. We just all of a sudden feel like laughing!" They both started laughing out loud along with the rest of the kids in the hallway.

Isabella looked around she didn't see anything funny. She looked down at her outfit and looked in the mirror of Phineas' locker. There wasn't anything funny about her.

"I wanted to let you know that the secret admirer note was-"

Soon the boys were both practically on the ground laughing. Isabella started to get mad.

"Oh! My sides hurt!" Phineas continued laughing. "It feels as if some hands just out of no where came over and are tickling my stomach without stopping!" The whole hallway was laughing on controllably, but no one knew why.

"Phineas! Will you just listen to me!?" Isabella cried. "I left you the secret admirer note! I'm your secret admirer! It's me! Isabella Garcia-Shapiro! Understand!?"

Phineas and Ferb stopped laughing and looked up at her. Isabella's face softened. There was a pause, then Phineas and Ferb both started cracking up again.

"Why won't they take me seriously?" Isabella asked aloud, knowing that if she asked them, they wouldn't answer.

Phineas stood up wiping a tear from his face.

"Phew! The bell's going to ring soon. Better get to class." They both skipped off laughing their heads off along with the rest of the school like a pack of hyenas.

Isabella looked down sadly. She wanted to cry.

(Song time! It's a sad love song)

Meanwhile…

"You are too late, Perry the Platypus! Everyone in the tri-state is now laughing hysterically! And now it's your turn!" Dr. Doofenshmirtz held his breath and aimed the pump towards Perry and sprayed it. Perry jumped out of the way holding his breath as well.

Dr. D barely shouted trying not to release his breath, "Get back here Perry the Platypus!"

He continued spraying. "Perry the Platypus, you must have a huge lung capacity. You haven't given up- oh no! I breathed it in now I'm going to- hahahahahha!" Doofenshmirtz began laughing.

"Now, I'm going to- hahahahhahahahahah!" Dr. D grabbed his stomach. "Oh! This hurts! Oh!"

Still laughing hard, Doofenshmirtz grabbed the pump and continued spraying the gas everywhere.

"You can't hold your breath forever Perry the- hahahahahhah! What is with the word 'platypus' it's such a funny word. Who came up with it?"

Perry's face was turning blue. He couldn't hold his breath any longer. He finally released it. Dr. D immediately began spraying again. Perry accidentally inhaled and began chatting in a chuckling sort of way.

He jumped around trying to avoid Doofenshmirtz. Dr. D grabbed him and spun him around, thus him crashing into the sofa. Perry hit his head pretty hard. Though it was more painful than ever, he continued to laugh.

"Perry the Platypus, you broke my couch!" There was a small pause and then the two both started chortling again.

Perry had to think quickly on how to get rid of this excruciating laughter. He tried to think of sadness, which was difficult to do due to the fact that he could stop chattering in joy. He thought of tears. Tears were made of salt water. Maybe the smell of salt water would mellow the mood.

The platypus looked around the room and spotted the souvenir beach snow globe that Dr. D had mentioned before, had actual salt water from the beach in it. Perry grabbed it and took the spray pump.

"Perry the Platypus- oh there's that funny word again!- what are you doing!?" Doofenshmirtz said through his laughter.

Perry broke open the snow globe and poured the water in. The strange pump- inator machine would turn the liquid into a gas and spread the smell over the tri-state area.

Perry ran to the window and pumped the smell of salt water into the air. Then, he pumped it into the room.

The two breathed it in and the laughter stopped.

"How did you do that, Perry the Platypus? That doesn't make any sense. How could the ocean make people stop laughing?*" Doofenshmirtz asked.

Perry shrugged. He jumped out the window and parachuted down to the ground. He noticed his hat had a couple of roses stuck to them by their thorns from the cage. He took them out and held them between his teeth as he landed.

"And that doesn't make any sense either! You didn't have that back pack when you came in here!" Dr. D called. "Aw well. Gee, I feel a kind of sadness right now. All that laughing really makes you tired."

Back at school…

Candace's laugh soon faded. "That was weird. What was so funny? All of a sudden I feel kind of sad."

Vanessa's giggle calmed down too. "Oh brother. That was probably my dad again."

"How can you tell?" asked Stacy.

"If something ever weird happens just clear out of the blue, it's definitely him."

"Did you guys notice something? I haven't tried to bust my brothers at all today!" Candace exclaimed.

"So?" Stacy asked.

"So! I need to do something about that. They are so busted when I get home for that robot dog! I'm not going to bother with Principal Tom today." Candace cried.
