Canon[]

Vanessa has a crush on Johnny as shown in "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together" where her father Heinz, goes through her address book to invite all her friends to her 16th birthday party. He mentions inviting Johnny in particular and noting that Vanessa had drawn hearts next to Johnny's name. However, Vanessa is immensely displeased, since Heinz has once again put the party together as though she were a little girl rather than a teenager. Somewhat fortuitously, however, a mishap with Doofenshmirtz's rocket turns the party decorations into something actually appealing to Vanessa and her friends, including an impressed Johnny. Vanessa later leaned on Johnny, who seemed to reciprocate her affections, and soon the two were seen dancing together at Love Handel's concert.

The two later attended a party in a junkyard together in "Brain Drain", with Vanessa awkwardly greeting Johnny when her mom dropped her off. Johnny commented on this fact, only for Vanessa to warn him that her father would be picking her up and might have an even worse method of transportation. Vanessa was later impressed as Johnny showed her the setup for the party, which included a number of surveillance cameras. The two are later seen dancing together and enjoying the party when Doof calls to let Vanessa know he's on his way to pick her up.

Later, when Doof unexpectedly lands in the party and takes over the DJ table, Johnny recognizes Vanessa's father only for Vanessa to deny this. However, with some assistance from Perry the Platypus, Doof manages to pull off a successful DJ act. Johnny then comments that he's actually somewhat impressive. Vanessa retorts that she, and not her boyfriend, is the only one allowed to make such a claim about her dad.

Johnny, Vanessa, and several of their friends later go on a camping trip in "Skiddley Whiffers", only for Doof to disguise himself in an effort to join in on their activities. After Vanessa manages to make her father leave, Johnny comments on the strangeness of their visitor, to which Vanessa agrees. Doof later returns, prompting another comment from Johnny that Vanessa agrees with. Eventually, Vanessa explodes at her father and exposes his identity to her friends, puzzling Johnny who was under the impression that Doof was a pharmacist.

Shortly thereafter the group of friends are menaced by bees and discover belatedly that all of them are allergic to bee stings. Fortunately, Doof had not retreated too far at the time, and was able to intervene and save the teens by luring the bees away. After observing this, Johnny comments on Doof's apparent insanity, an assessment that Vanessa once again finds herself agreeing with. Sadly, Vanessa and Johnny's relationship would come to an end in "Minor Monogram", with Vanessa breaking up with him over the phone after hearing him declare that a video game was more important to him than her. Afterwards, as she discussed the matter with her father, Vanessa complained that Johnny was immature and lacking in both aspirations and personality.

In "Doof 101", Johnny and Vanessa met each other again in high school, where Johnny is revealed to be angry and depressed because of Vanessa's breaking up with him, despite Vanessa saying they didn't date for much time. Later, Doofenshmirtz turns out to be their new science teacher, and Johnny properly introduces himself to Vanessa's father. Unfortunately for him, Doof fully remembers that Vanessa dumped Johnny, and Vanessa once again asserts that she and Johnny were barely a couple. Things only get worse from there, as Doof's lesson on DNA accidentally results in Johnny becoming mutated so that he has ape and lizard features.

At her father's request, Vanessa joins her classmates in trying to find Johnny and ends up being the one to locate him. She tries to reason with her mutant ex-boyfriend and denies Johnny's accusation that she hates him. Unfortunately, in the midst of her effort to convince him that they can still be friends, Perry-also involved in the search-appears and startles Johnny, who seizes Vanessa and runs off with her. Johnny soon begins carrying Vanessa up the side of the school clock tower, dramatically yelling "Sanctuary", much to Vanessa's annoyance, who calls him dramatic and states that it's why she broke up with him.

Vanessa pleads with Vanessa to release her, but he ignores her. Fortunately, she is later able to catch a needle containing an antidote to the transformation fired by her father and jabs it into Johnny, who returns to normal. Perry saves Vanessa from falling, and she then turns around and saves Johnny from falling as well. Johnny takes her action as a sign that they might become a couple again, despite Vanessa's protests to the contrary.

Johnny's hopes are apparently in vain, as ten years later Vanessa is seen to be dating Ferb Fletcher.

This section is in need of major improvement. Please help improve this article by editing it.

Despite being the first love interest introduced for Vanessa, Johnny seems to be a contender, if not the title holder, for her least popular. This may be due to the fact that the creators, after featuring the couple in only three episodes, had them break up with Johnny’s poor behavior being the cause. Johnny didn’t even appear in the episode where the breakup occurs, and was swiftly gotten over by Vanessa in favor Monty Monogram. Johnny, meanwhile, proved quite toxic over the breakup-despite being responsible for it-in his most significant appearance after it occurred.

Ferbnessa and Montessa both enjoy much greater popularity as het ships for Vanessa. There are 2 works tagged for Johnessa on AO3, putting it in a distant third behind the other two.
