Phineas and Ferb were sleeping soundly when Phineas stirred. He was half awake when he smelled something. He was fully awake, now. He got out of bed, went to the other side of the room and started shaking his step-brother awake.

"Ferb, wake up." he said. Ferb didn't stir. "Wakie, wakie, sleepy head." he tried again. Ferb rolled over and made a soft moan. "C'mon, Ferb, it's morning."

"Who is it?" Ferb said in a moan.

"You know who I am." Phineas answered.

"Mom?" Ferb asked.

"No, it's Phineas, your step-brother."

"Then go away."

"Ferb, do you smell something?" Phineas ask ignoring his step-brother's comment. Ferb sniffed the air. He was bout to go back to sleep, but instead, sat up. "What is that?" Phineas asked.

"Smells kind of like turkey." Ferb was silent. "Phineas, what day is it?" Phineas grabbed a calendar and Ferb's cell phone. Ferb looked at the cell phone and then at the calendar. Ferb got a small smile on his face. "Phineas, has it occurred to you that we don't have school today?"

Phineas thought about this. Candace or his mom usually wakes them up. He looked at the clock. It was 10:30!

"Yes, why is that?" he asked.

"Take a look." Ferb handed his the calendar with a circled date.

"Is that today?" Phineas asked.

"Yes, do you notice anything?" Ferb said, his smile growing.

"Well, it's a Thursday." Phineas said. "It's the last Thursday of the month."

"And what month is it?" Ferb said looking like he was about to scream in delight.

"Doesn't say." Phineas said.

"It's my second favorite day." Ferb hinted.

"Is it your birthday?" Phineas guessed.

Ferb thought about this. "O.K. my third favorite day."

"I'm stumped." Phineas said.

"Phineas, it's the last Thursday on November, we don't have school, and the smell of turkey's in the air!" Ferb said like he was about to burst.

"I know I should know this…" Phineas said.

"Macy's makes a whole big parade for this!"

"Ferb, it's obvious you know it and I don't. Also, you're about to burst, anyway, why don't you just tell me?"

Ferb grabbed Phineas' shoulders and shook them. "IT'S THANKSGIVING!"
