Resolution

Christmas was over and done with. The presents had been opened, the eggnog drunk, and more Christmas memory's made. Phineas and Ferb had of course put on the grandest Christmas party ever seen complete with a thirty foot tall chocolate fountain. Needless to say everyone had immensely enjoyed there Christmas. Now however on New Years eve Baljeet thought deep in thought. He really needed to do something about Buford who had smashed his favorite Christmas present before he could even use it.

Buford at heart he's a good person but he really has been less and less bearable lately. He thought to himself.

What I need is to be more assertive he thought bitterly. He looked at the clock it said 11:58 two more minutes until the New Year. Baljeet concluded that this is what his resolution had to be starting tomorrow he would stick up for himself.

The next day Baljeet woke bright and early. He showered walked out the door and down the street to Phineas and Ferb's home. He walked into the backyard to see Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella already hard at work with today's crazy thing. It looked a little bit like a floating playground. He picked up a hammer and went over to help them. After about twenty minutes the door to the yard swung open.

Buford walked in dressed in his usual clothes (that they were all convinced he never washed.) He strolled confidently over to Baljeet.

"Alright, nerd listen I'm in a rush to other appointments today so I'm just going to give you your wedgie and be one my way." Buford said reaching towards Baljeet.

"No." Baljeet said shifting away from him. Everyone froze instantly looking over to them.

"Did, Baljeet just stick up for himself?" Isabella asked Phineas who nodded his face frozen in a shocked expression.

"What, did you just say to me?" Buford asked using his best intimidating bully voice.

Baljeet however was not backing down.

"I said no Buford I'm done being your punching bag, you can either be my friend or leave me alone." Baljeet said flatly.

Everyone was still frozen in surprise the group thought Baljeet's gonna die now.

It was so quiet and you could cut the tension in the yard with knife. Buford stood a little dumbfounded by Baljeet's new found bravery then he smiled and held out his hand.

"I can respect that." he said as they shook hands.

"You mean your not going to beat me up?" Baljeet asked a little surprised himself. Buford broke out laughing which lasted for a few minutes before he managed legible speech again.

"No Jeet I'm not you stood up for yourself and I respect those who stand up for themselves. Why do you think I respect Ferb so much?" Buford said.

Phineas vaguely remembered when Ferb knocked Buford out after the brawl at the mall and chuckled to himself.

Baljeet was stunned but Buford simply shrugged and headed out the gate saying something about other appointments.

Everyone seemed to recover and went back to building Baljeet did to. He was more than surprised at Buford action but pleased as he went back to work. It seemed that this year was going to be much better than the last.
