"Now, this is a ship." Piper said in awe as she looked over the edge of the ship they built. It towered over the houses of the neighborhood.

"My, she's 'yar'." Phineas agreed and turned to his brother. "Is she ready to sail?"

Ferb gave him a solute. "She's ship-shaped in Bristol fashion."

"What's does that mean?"

"What does 'yar' mean?"

"Phineas! Ferb! I need your help!" Baljeet called up to them as he entered the backyard.

The trio used a pulley elevator to get down to the ground so they could talk to their visitor.

"Hey, Jeet." Piper greeted him once they reached him. "I thought your friend Mishti was visiting from India?"

"She is, but... she is different now." He told her.

"Different how?" Questioned Phineas. "Did she turn into a werewolf or something?"

"No, she is... a girl!"

The red-head paused gor a moment before smiling. "She was probably a girl the whole time."

"Let me explain: four years ago, back in India, we use to have such a good time together. Playing soccer and playing in the mud..."

"And she never ever showed any kind of werewolfism at all?"

Piper giggled. "Focus Phineas. She's not a werewolf."

Baljeet continued. "Five minutes and 48 seconds ago, back in my home-" He told them how he was in the bathroom and he opened the door to see Mishti looking and sounding more girly than before. "So, after hiding in the bathroom, I jumped out the window and came over here as quickly as possible. I do not know how to even act in front of a girl. I do not even know what girls like!"

"You act fine in front of me." Piper pointed out.

"Yes, but I'm never alone with you. You're always building with Phineas and Ferb so it's easy to just see you as one of them."

Phineas hummed. "Isn't it, like, sugar and spice and everything nice?"

"That is what they are made of. I do not want to build one. Duh."

Phineas turned to the Ablino. "Piper, you're a girl."

"Well spotted." She sassed, making Ferb chuckle.

"You could tell us what girls like, can't you?"

Piper thought really hard for a moment. "U-um... well, I know I like my grandma. And I like you guys and your family, building crazy things and all the adventures we go on. I like music too, and the stories that Grandpa Reginald tells us whenever he comes to visit. But, that's just me. I don't know about other girls. I've only ever hung out with Isabella and I know she really likes romance."

Phineas grinned. "Oh, yah! Like in that movie we watched last night! Dinner, music, candlelight, and all on a romantic cruise over the ocean blue." He looked at Baljeet. "Lucky for you, we happen to have a ship right here. Ferb, cancel the giant bottle, I know what we're gonna do today!"

They got the ship moved to the harbor and put into the water. With it now ready to go, people quickly started boarding.

"For your safety, Mishti, I invite you to hold on to the rail." Baljeet offered as they went to the edge of the deck. "It appears to be very clean, which I know is important to you now that you are a girl."

Mishti just looked confused.

Phineas came out and looked over the railing to see the Fireside Girls on tge dock. "Hey, Isabella! Whatcha doin'?"
