So, first PxI fanfic, whoo hoo. Elliptical returned as the fantastic role of............ Beta Reader. Also, I will enjoy writing this due to the amount of sidetracts it will include, I got the idea for a rambly side-trackish story from a book i read "Three Men In a Boat (To say nothing of the dog". Please RxR
Twelve year old Phineas Flynn woke with a start, the alarm clock whining in his room. Phineas frowned as he looked across the room at Ferb, who was also just waking up.
"Looks like the alarm clock wins this round," Phineas groaned, marking a tally on a wall chart, there were a lot more tallies under "Us" than "Alarm Clock". "We need to be ready today Ferb, remember what is planned today?"
Ferb replied with a blank stare, and Phineas smacked himself in the forehead.
"My new year's resolution...?" Phineas prompted. Aggravated at Ferb's blank stare, Phineas leaped from the bed and shouted, "Isabella you moron! Today's the day I planned to…" he stopped, blushing. Ferb's face broke into an amused smile, and he chuckled.
"I know silly, just messing with you," he said, getting out of his bed and resting a hand on his step brother's shoulder. "And it'll work."
"You know sometimes being silent is annoying," Phineas replied. Together the two stepbrothers got dressed and raced downstairs for breakfast, Phineas' head spinning as the two ate their cereal. His mind was racing at the prospect of what he was going to do, and yet mentally he braced himself, today was not the day to get cold feet. Candace walked down the stairs eventually, and greeted the boys with a curt hello. Ferb responded, but Phineas just sat and stared into his cereal.
"What's with him?" Candace interrogated, and Ferb responded by simply holding up a calendar. "Oh… that's right today's when he..."
"Sh!" Phineas uttered, and Candace stopped.
"Well, I just hope you don't have anything over dramatic planned," Candace said casually, loving to cast dispersions on their plans.
"Well, not really, but we have most of our friends in on it, except Baljeet, he had an odd reaction," Phineas surmised, and remembered back to when he asked Baljeet to help him.
Flashback
"Hey, 'Jeet, I need help with something, come here," Phineas said quickly as Baljeet walked by their yard. Baljeet leaned in as Phineas began to whisper and showed him a complex diagram.
"!!!" Baljeet screamed, and he ran out of the yard, across the street, down the sidewalk, all the way home, into his room, under the bed, through the secret tunnel, pass the coded door, and into his Panic Room. Baljeet locked the door behind him and began to sob profusely.
"…That was odd…" Ferb observed, and the two continued to plan.
End Flashback
"I'm not too worried though, Baljeet will come around," Phineas said, and together he and Ferb got up from their breakfast and walked out the door, leaving Candace alone in the kitchen. They headed into the backyard, where there were quite a decent amount of people in the backyard; Phineas was pulling out all the stops for this big idea. There was Buford, Irving, the guy who delivered stuff, the fireside girls, Perry, 2 Guys N The Park, Love Händel, Mr. Fluffypants, and Jeremy.
"Excellent, your all here, thank you for coming," Phineas began, "you all know why you're here, I've been collecting your various services for this day one at a time. Today is… the day I decided, five years ago, to tell Isabella how I feel about…" he stuttered to a stop. Ferb then took the microphone, and pushed his brother aside.
"Don't day anything, and please don't have him repeat it. It's still awkward for him, but you know Phineas, he's gonna see it through," Ferb said, shaking his brother out of his reverie. Phineas smiled and mouthed "thanks" before taking the microphone back.
"So, we all know what we need to do. Ferb, Buford, Irving, the fireside girls, and I will stay here and work on the master plan. Love Händel, 2 Guys N The Park, and that cat… will distract Isabella should she get near to the house BY ANY MEANS NESSESARY. Joe will get us all the materials then join up with the musical group and the cat for distraction duty. Jeremy, you keep Candace from contacting mom, think you can do that?" Phineas said this all while his face was turning deeper and deeper red. Jeremy saluted comically, in an attempt to calm him down, and Phineas smiled. The order was given to break, and the groups of people separated into their respected jobs.
"Hey, where's Perry?" Phineas inquired, looking around for the platypus in a stab at normalcy. But the little greenish monotreme was nowhere to be found. Phineas decided it wasn't important, and continued with the overall plan for Isabella.
(Sorry, no Perry plot, it will take away from focus.)
