Chapter 1: Ignorance

The final hour before spring break had just ended. The Flynn-Fletcher brothers and their group of friends rushed out of the mundane building and raced to the school's parking lot. They all drove off and went out to eat at a restaurant not too far from their campus. Most of them were happy about their last day of classes and were looking forward to a week of relaxation. Of course, the definition of that word could vary depending on the person.

The two siblings had created dozens of plans to keep themselves entertained. They had formed several projects they couldn't wait to test out. However, during the conversation, some of the brothers' peers would give the one with red hair a strange look. Throughout the years, a few members had to pass on the giant ideas. The older they became, the more dangerous the projects seemed. When the problem was mentioned, Phineas would explain safety procedures had always been explored and pointed out with a joyful laugh they all saw and experienced the ecstasy of completing something assumed to be impossible. However, some still remained uncomfortable.

The childhood companions piled into one car. Ferb had his license and would often drop everyone else who lived in the same neighborhood. Everyone continued to chat widely in the moving vehicle. They agreed to participate in the inventions the next morning. Today was a day to kick back after a long week of being drilled useless information and massage hands that became sore from scribbling notes.

The Flynn-Fletcher siblings returned home. They greeted their sister, who was in college and had already started her break. She chatted away mindlessly with her long time friend on her cell phone. The boys gathered their dirty clothes from the week and placed them in the laundry room. Ferb went to go use the computer while his brother went to the living room.

Phineas turned on the TV and began to watch one of his favorite programs. He didn't often pay much attention to the colored box for hardly anything interesting was on for a boy with such intellect and creativity to enjoy. He'd much rather spend his moments outside with friends and family.

Even though everyone in his class moved on to drama series, reality TV, and adult sitcoms not meant for their age, the young adult still reveled in his cartoons when he had the chance. He use to take pleasure in the activity with his stepbrother, but even the one with green hair stopped going out of his way to watch the program. Phineas sat by himself and laughed at the same jokes he heard already but still appreciated the show for its originality.

His sister passed by but stopped when she noticed what program her brother was watching. She was about to mention something to him when she decided to not get involved. She thought back and remembered she use to enjoy a child's cartoon when she was the same age as her sibling was now. She continued with her way out after her cell phone rang. She screamed with excitement when her plans for the afternoon were still take place.

When the cartoon was over, Phineas turned off the TV.

The two brothers were alone for dinner. Both their parents and older sister were out. When they had finished, they placed away the leftovers in the fridge and washed their dishes. Ferb walked upstairs to take a shower first.

Phineas did not mind. He took a seat on the family's couch and flipped through the channels. A platypus came around and took a seat next to him. The pet appeared tired after a long day. Phineas giggled a bit with childlike delight; he was curious to know what the mammal had been doing after seeing him so overworked. When he turned his attention back to the screen, he sighed; there wasn't much on tonight for his pleasure. He wished he could go out and hang around with some friends but all were busy with their own schedules and activities.

He wanted something interesting to happen; the night was too nice to be kept indoors. Now that he was older, he did not have as early of a curfew nor did his body begin to shut down after dinner. He had a burning desire to go on an adventure like he did when he was a kid. He longed for the action and joyous days of summer from his youth with his friends.

He was soon startled when he heard the front door slammed. Looking up, he saw how furious his older sister appeared. He didn't know why she was home so early. He recalled the college student made plans with some of her buddies for the evening and were to stay out until late. When she did return home, she were to be charge of her brothers if anything series were to happen.

"Is everything ok, Candace?" Phineas asked his sister in a concerned tone.

"Don't talk to me!" she snapped. The younger teen was stunned. He had never seen his sibling so upset before. He could see anger in her lovely sapphire eyes, but despair hid poorly in back. She appeared as though she was ready to cry. He stood up and repeated sincerely, "Candace, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Nothing!" she argued.

"I didn't know 'nothing' could be so emotional." the boy remarked with a small laugh.

"You wouldn't understand." she countered a little calmer.

"Did you have an argument with your friends? Is that why you're home earlier?"

"Not now, Phineas."

"Maybe you should go and talk with them. They may be able to forgive you-"

"And why is it MY fault!"

"Ok, if it's not then it's not. But, Candace, I don't know what started all this, but you can't stay mad at them forever. They can't stay mad at you forever."

"That's not the way the real world works."

"Well, then, you should make it your way. Who's to say what can and cannot be?"

Candace took a seat in the kitchen with Phineas entering as well. The girl placed her head on the table and tried her best to block out her brother. What happened earlier was still fresh in her mind. She was developing a headache. She didn't want to be lectured on the weekend at the start of her break, especially from the young teen. She couldn't take what he was saying much longer. She became far beyond annoyed at the matter he spoke about.

Bolting from her seat, she finally shouted, "Damn it, Phineas! Your overly, childish view is pissing me off!"

Phineas was shocked about what was yelled at him. He never seen his sister so furious before. He also never heard her swear. He was completely unaccustomed to the entire event.

"Candace I-" the teen was about to say something when the girl cut him off, "Just shut up and leave me alone!"

The young, female adult left and ran up the stairs. On her way to her room she passed by her stepbrother, who came out of the shower in a fresh pair of pajamas and had no clue about what took place.

"Don't. Say. Anything." she warned the one with green hair in a low voice. As she moved on, her phone went off. She walked away and said to the other line in more of a worried tone, "Stacy, I don't know how to explain it! I was with Jeremy and… it all happened so fast!"

Ferb assumed his stepsister was acting like her usual self. He shrugged it off and walked towards the laundry room to leave his dirty towels for washing.

Xxx

Depressed about the event, Phineas sighed. He knelt down and petted the platypus after the mammal made a sound. The adolescent was left to reflect about the matter on his own. He didn't mean to upset his sister even more. He only wanted to help.

The angry words screamed at him earlier echoed in the back of his mind.

Phineas opened the fridge to get a bottle of water. As he searched around, he quickly noticed his family was out of milk. He knew everyone would want something pertaining to the dairy product when morning came around. Rather than bothering his parents or someone else who had a license to drive, the boy decided he would go retrieve one himself. He believed it would also be the best if he left the house for a bit; he wanted to allow his sister to calm down after the fights she has been in.

The boy strolled over to the garage to grab his bike. As he placed on his helmet, he saw his pet had followed him. Smiling, he knelt down and assured, "Don't worry, Perry; I'm just going to get some milk. I won't be long."

He hopped on to his vehicle and went on his way. A full moon laid out in the vast dark sky doted with many shiny stars. The boy was able to see where he was traveling with ease. The air was cold and crisp. He was glad he was taking some time outside. Like a child waiting in line for a thrilled adventure ride, this was the action Phineas had been craving for. He rode over hills and bumps with bliss as his legs peddled with ecstasy. He arrived at the store with no problem.

Catching his breath, Phineas parked and chained up his bike at a rack with plenty of spaces available. He took off his helmet and tied it to the handles. Not too many people were out at this hour. He went inside and found what he was looking for instantly. After paying for the product, he exit the building and was ready to leave. Just before he had the chance to unlock his bike, someone snuck up from behind.

The mysterious stranger quickly pulled the boy into the shadows. He had a firm grip around the adolescent's torso and chest. Phineas tried to break free but before a word could be uttered, the same man placed his free hand with a cloth underneath the young adult's nose. The teen tried to fight, but soon found his eyes growing heavier and heavier. His form became tried and did not respond to any commands from his groggy mind.

Dead asleep, Phineas fell into the arms of a kidnaper.
