Ferbnessa

Ferbnessa is the het ship between Ferb Fletcher and Vanessa Doofenshmirtz from the Phineas and Ferb fandom.

Canon
In “I Scream, You Scream”, Ferb and Vanessa first encounter each other at Blueprint Heaven. Vanessa greets Ferb, who is typically silent, but the pair end up with mixed up blueprints. After Phineas discovers this, he questions the mixup due to Ferb’s usual focus. In a flashback, it is then revealed that Ferb became smitten with Vanessa at first sight. The pair later have another encounter in “The Chronicles of Meap.”

In “Vanecessary Roughness”, Ferb spots Vanessa at the Superduper Mega Superstore. He tries to help her obtain the Pizzazzium Infinionite she’s trying to track down for her father. Vanessa initially rejects his help, wanting to prove herself to her dad. However, Ferb persists, and she later learns his name while the pair are searching in a ball pit. Vanessa is later endangered by a lawnmower, and Ferb rescues her and gets the Pizzazzium to her dad. In gratitude, Vanessa kisses Ferb on the cheek, leading to a repeat of his smitten moment from their first meeting.

In “Summer Belongs to You”, Vanessa runs into Ferb again when he and his friends are traveling around the world. After their ship saves her from a fatal fall in Japan, Ferb pulls her aboard and she joins the group. They later travel through Paris by motorcycle and make their way to the Eiffel Tower. After Vanessa complains about her relationship with her dad, Ferb offers her some advice. Later, he goes to buy her a flower, only to return just after she’s left with her newly arrived dad.

In “Act Your Age”, Ferb and Vanessa are revealed to have become a couple ten years in the future. Vanessa shows up to pick up Ferb for a date, and the two give Phineas a ride to catch Isabella as she’s leaving town. When Phineas and Isabella kiss, Vanessa acts surprised, and Ferb questions her as to whether she really didn’t know that they liked each other. Vanessa admits to teasing her boyfriend, replying that “Everyone knew.”
