I'm wicked sorry for a late update guys, especially after getting so many reviews on the last chapter. You ever have one of those weeks where suddenly everyone decides to dump random work on you? Well, that was this week for me. This might be a little shorter than you wanted.

Ferb stared at himself in the mirror of the bathroom, as he tightened his bow tie. If he somehow managed to get through this day, he would literally be able to take on anything. All the days had gone by so quickly, and wedding day was here.

He looked no better than he had this morning. Dark circles, pale face, and a total air of depression. He was the walking dead. It wasn't just because he was tired. It was because Ferb knew watching this happen might be the hardest thing he'd ever do.

They were all already in the church. Wedding guests were filling the seats right this minute. A few rooms had been roped off as dressing rooms for the groom, the ushers, the bridesmaids, and… the bride.

Isabella. Ferb could still picture her crying, from this morning. Seeing her as upset as he felt inside. And he could still feel her kiss, and the desperation they had exchanged.

Ferb suddenly felt really weak. He splashed some water on his face. No matter how he felt, he was staying through this whole ceremony. He had to be strong enough.

Ferb opened the bathroom door, and saw a girl standing there, the look on her face clearly expressing that she had been waiting for him. That, and the crossed arms, with a tapping foot.

"There you are, Ferb." Gretchen said.

Ferb faintly smiled at her. She looked really pretty, all dressed in pink.

"I've been looking for you. I tried calling you, multiple times." She said. "Don't you check your phone?"

Ferb realized he hadn't. He stuck his hand in his pocket. Funny, it wasn't there. He checked in the other pocket. Once he realized it wasn't in either, he began scanning for it. Why couldn't he find it? Actually, he couldn't remember where he had left it. He definitely had it at the dinner, and then afterwards… oh no. He must have left it at Isabella's.

"What's wrong, Ferb?" Gretchen tilted her head at him. "Lost something?"

Suddenly she threw something towards him. Ferb quickly reacted, and caught it. His cell phone. Shit.

"Don't worry," Gretchen said deviously. "I found it."

Ferb gulped.

"Ok, Mr. Man-of-few-words, start talking. Because guess where I found this? Isabella's room."

Ferb turned away from Gretchen. What quick lie could he think up to remedy the situation? But Ferb didn't want to keep lying to Gretchen; she was his friend. He didn't want to keep lying to Phineas, or to Isabella, or to himself. He couldn't do this anymore!

"Gretchen, I have to tell you something. But, please, promise me you'll keep it a secret!" Ferb pleaded.

Gretchen was a little surprised. She had come to chew Ferb out, but she would still listen to him.

Ferb squeezed his eyes shut and took a big breath. "My phone was in Isabella's room because last night, she and I made love."

Gretchen was a little shocked that Ferb had just outwardly admitted it to her. Isabella hadn't.

Ferb wrung his hands together. "You're probably shocked; I would've been too if anybody had told me all this would have happened from a little white lie. You see, we all knew that Isabella loved Phineas as a child. She wanted to keep in touch with him after she moved. I tried to remind him to, but Phineas always has his head in the clouds. I felt bad for Isabella; this kind of thing had happened before. So I decided to write her. But, she loved Phineas so much. I knew how happy she would be if Phineas wrote to her. So I fibbed and said I was Phineas."

Gretchen noticed that Ferb was beginning to sound more hysterical with every sentence.

"I didn't think it would hurt anyone! I just wanted to keep in touch with Isabella, make her happy, and not bother Phineas! Before I knew it, I had been pretending to be Phineas for 10 years! Isabella returned and fell right for Phineas. I realized too late that," Ferb hung his head, "I was in love with her."

"Wow." Said Gretchen. "Why haven't you told Isabella?"

"I did. She was very angry, but we ended up sleeping together! I just, we can't be together without hurting Phineas! I'm basically forcing her into this marriage!"

"Ferb, I know all of this."

Ferb stared at her. "What? How?"

"Isabella told me." Gretchen said. "Don't be mad at her! She did the same thing you did, confessing after I confronted her."

Ferb just continued to stare.

"What I was asking was, why haven't you told Isabella you're in love with her?" She said.

"Huh?"

Gretchen groaned. "You idiot! You know you love Isabella. But she doesn't! The poor thing is a mess because she thinks you hate her, while she's madly in love with you!"

"What? Why does she think that?" Ferb exclaimed.

"Ferb, I know you don't usually talk that much, but think back. Have you EVER outwardly told Isabella you love her?"

Ferb paused to think. Had he ever told Isabella he loved her? He had signed some emails with love. He had mentioned sacrificing it. He had whispered it to her door as she fell asleep. But he had never actually told Isabella that he loved her more than anything else in the world!

"Oh god." Ferb slapped his hand to his forehead. "I haven't. I can't believe it! I haven't!" If he let Isabella go without telling her he loved her, it would be the biggest mistake of his life! He had to tell her! He just had to! Before she became Phineas' forever. Right now! "Gretchen, where is she?"

"In her dressing room. But Ferb," Gretchen said. "The wedding is literally about to start!"

"I don't care!" Ferb said, running out of the room. He suddenly stuck his head back in the room. "Gretchen, you can't tell anyone about this. Especially Phineas."

"Wait, Ferb…" She called, but he had already run off. "Only Phineas can fix this." And she quickly and quietly went to find the last face of this mess.

Ok guys, so what happens next? I hope it's you typing a review!
