A/N: Welcome back, readers! I know it's been awhile, but I've been trying to step away from FanFiction and write original works. It's been hard, but I'm going to get there one day! Thank you all for your support!

By the way, yesterday was my birthday, so, in reversal of tradition, here's a present for you all.

Phineas and Ferb stood in the hall of the church. Any moment Gretchen would come to lead them in, but for the moment, they were alone save each other. A double wedding, Candace had insisted, was a terrible idea, but the brothers had been adamant. Neither, at the moment, felt they could be adamant about anything. After all, this was marriage they were talking about...

"Ferb, I don't think I'm ready."

Ferb just adjusted his tie.

"I mean, I've never been good at romance- yeah, yeah, laugh all you want- and, after all she's gone through, Isabella really deserves someone who can, you know, understand-"

"Phineas."

"Yeah?"

Ferb turned to look his brother in the eye, "I wasn't going to laugh."

"Oh."

After a moment Phineas spoke, "You know, Vanessa needs you."

Ferb spun around in surprise.

"I know you're not a big talker, but that's one of the many things she loves about you. She needs someone who listens to her."

Ferb stared, stunned. "How is it you're so intuitive about everyone except Isabella?"

"Same reason a rollercoaster can be built and destroyed in the same day."

Gretchen opened the door to the hallway, "You two ready?"

"As we'll ever be. Carpe diem?" Phineas said, tilting his head in indication of the door.

"Carpe diem."
