The ABCs of Ferb Fletcher
A is for Aquaintances
Most of the time, Ferb didn't mind having the same friends as Phineas. But sometimes he felt like a tag-along, and that his friends only put up with him because he was Phineas's brother.
B is for Brother
When they were first introduced, Ferb couldn't believe he had to share his father, room and pet with Phineas. But not long after this red-haired nuisance became his best friend.
C is for Caddy
It was evil of him, but Ferb couldn't help snickering as Phineas hit the golfball into the water and threw his club in after it. Then something dawned on him.
"Hey! That's my iron! Hey!"
D is for Danville
Danville was, honestly, a lot less exciting than London. When Dad described it, Ferb knew he would die of boredom within a week.
He soon discovered that with Phineas, "bored" was not an option.
E is for England
No matter where he lived, his home would always be in England. He grew up there. He ate, drank, slept, and attended school there.
And besides, that's where his Mum is buried.
F is for Family
Sure, Dad was a bit clueless, Mom was always busy, Candace never shut up, and Phineas was the Energizer Bunny on steroids. But once you lived with them, their faults faded into the background.
G is for Gallant
Ferb loved hiking at Grandpa Clyde and Betty Jo's house every year. Sometimes he'd go so far ahead of the group that he could experience hiking as nature intended: solitary and silent. Then everyone would catch up, and the cycle of noise-quiet-noise would start again.
I is for Influential
"Come on kids, why don't you try 'em? They'll make you feel real good," a rough-looking man stated, holding out a handful of pills.
The group began to debate amongst themselves. Only Ferb walked straight up to the man and took a pill.
"No," Ferb replied, throwing the pill to the ground. "I don't want your stupid pill." He stomped on it, and walked away.
If he had looked back, he would've seen his friends following him.
J is for Jester
Ferb had no idea that his costume for Isabella's party would attract so much attention, especially female attention.
After all, he had been joking when he told Candace they invented "for the ladies."
K is for Kidnapped
"9-1-1. What is your emergency?"
"My name is Ferb Fletcher. I've been kidnapped and locked in the trunk of the car. I have no idea where I am now and I'm very scared."
"Okay, Ferb, do you know who your kidnapper is?"
"Yeah."
"Who is it?"
"My stepbrother's dad."
L is for Lollipop
Although the sweet confection was well enjoyed, there would be no hesitation in sharing if some unfortunate soul were to drop his.
M is for Mother
"Your mum was the sweetest, most generous, kindest human being I ever met," Lawrence pulled his son into a hug. "Just like you."
N is for Natural
It was extremely tiring explaining that his mum had a genetic fluke that made her hair green and that he had inherited it, especially on the first day of school every year.
O is for Overachiever
Maybe he was hardwired that way, but Phineas noticed that whatever he did, Ferb tried to (and normally succeeded in) do ten times better. Almost like he was trying to show him up.
P is for Perry
Ferb really wanted to tell people that he chose to own a platypus so that no matter how awkward he felt, he knew something would be more awkward in that situation. But whenever someone asked, he'd reply, "It's much cooler than owning a dog or cat."
Q is for Quiet
It became a Danvillian adage: The Flynns are talkers, and the Fletchers are listeners.
R is for Robin
When the six broken bodies showed up on the Flynn-Fletcher's doorstep, it was Ferb who insisted on taking them to the veterinarian.
It was Ferb who spent his whole spring nursing them back to health.
It was Ferb who taught them how to fly.
And it was Ferb with tears in his eyes when he released them.
S is for Schizophrenia
Nobody suspected anything. In fact, everyone suspected Candace of having a mental disorder.
When he complained of voices, they blamed stress. When he complained of strange things, they chalked it up to needing sleep.
It wasn't until he pulled a knife on Isabella during school that he was diagnosed.
T is for Theatre
As of late, Ferb's repertoire consisted of : The Phantom, Marcellus, Van Helsing, Jem Finch, Barrel, Baby John, Grantaire, Johnny, and multiple chorus member roles.
And this was sure to expand.
U is for Uncoordinated
Normally Ferb moved with grace. But every once in a while, especially during sports, he would trip or swing to early or late, sending the whole gym class into an uproar.
V is for Vanessa
Although he'd only seen her twice, she had captivated him. So much so he often found himself staring off into space thinking about her.
W is for Wisdom
If anyone ever had a problem, they could go to Ferb and he would help. Even adults went to him for advice, even though they didn't admit it.
X is for Xavier
He met Xavier the first day of kindergarten, and they became fast friends. When Ferb moved away, they became pen pals. One day, he got a letter from Xavier saying:
Dear Ferb,
I'm gay. Please don't hate me.
Your friend,
Xavier
To which he promptly replied:
Dear Xavier,
I could never hate you.
Your Friend,
Ferb
Y is for Yabbo
Ripped, torn, and falling apart, the bear was on its last legs. However, it always mysteriously went from the garbage to inside Ferb's pillowcase.
Z is for Zest
"That's why I put up with you," Ferb told his brother, who was snoozing next to him under the tree, "You make my life exciting."
