I do not own Phineas and Ferb or the story to The World's End, also the following story is set when the characters are facing 40 so it's a future fic…enjoy!
Chapter 1: The First Post
Phineas: Let me ask you a question. Have you ever had one of those nights that starts out like any other, but ends up being the best night of your life? I did. I had a feeling I was going to have one of those days when I was 9 years old. In the Tri State Area back where I used to live they had set up 12 pubs and started a thing called "The Golden Mile", the challenge was to go to all 12 of those pubs and have 1 pint in each on them in the course of 1 night. I knew I had to do it with my friends and at the time we all agreed but we all drifted apart after we left for college, luckily I managed to round up everyone once they had turned 21 so we could do what we had always dreamed of. I had some of the greatest friends to help me, there was Baljeet Tjinder, Buford van Stomm, my brother Ferb Fletcher, my girlfriend of the time Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, and me…Phineas Flynn. Baljeet was one of the smartest out of all of us, he always knew the scientific solution to get us out of any situation and I liked him for that. Buford was one of the tougher kids than most of us, he wasn't the sort of person we would usually hang out with but he was very kind hearted and offered protection which was good. Ferb was my wingman and was a brother you could depend on, sure sometimes we had our disagreements but we would shrug them off. And Isabella…she was the most beautiful girl I ever knew and it took me ages to figured out she had a crush on me, she loved me and I'm not being funny but I loved her too.
The Tri State Area was our home town and there was nothing that was going to stop us from completing the golden mile, all we had to do was drink from The First Post, The Old Familiar, The Famous Cock, The Cross Hands, The Good Companion, The Trusty Servant, The Two Headed Dog, The Mermaid, The Beehive, The King's Head, The Hole in the Wall, all before that last glorious pint in The World's End. We took my car into town which I called the beast because if I'm honest she was pretty hairy, we arrived in town, we hit the first pub and we hit it hard! There was drinking, there was laughs, there was controversy, there were ladies, there were shots, there was drama, and of course there was drinking! By pub 5 we were feeling on top of the world and we decided to buy some herbal refreshment from our city's old mayor, none of us had tried drugs before so we were pretty excited. Sadly the 6th pint put Baljeet out of the running so we carried on without him, probably a good thing now that I think about it. I needed some cheering up after that and luckily a certain lady walked in who…looking back Ferb really liked but that didn't stop me. So now let's just say thanks to a Miss "Vanessa" I had lost my virginity to a quite good looking girl. Isabella did keep looking at me funny for the rest of the night but luckily she got over it by pint 8, sure that makes me sound a bit like a jerk but these things happen I guess. By pint 9 we decided to pause and try out the drugs in my backyard…which is where it all went fuck up, Buford passed out on the sidewalk when we tried to go to pub 10 so in the end we blew off the last 3 pubs and headed for the hills that were close by. I remember sitting up on that hill with blood on my knuckles, beer down my shirt, sick on my shoes. And I remember knowing that I would never feel that good again, and you know what…I never did.
Phineas finished telling his story to all the other people he was talking with, they were all sitting in a circle listening to him tell that story for the past 5 minutes.
Host: Well thank you Phineas, now are there any questions for him?
One of the people in the circle put up his hand and looked to Phineas
Person #1: Are you disappointed?
Phineas: About what?
Person #1: That you didn't make it to The World's End
Phineas: Know I'm not disappointed, I mean what happened in the past is in the past and it's not like I can do it again
Phineas then thought about how he was a bit disappointed that he couldn't try again, but then a light bulb went off inside his head
Phineas: Or can we?
Phineas suddenly had a wide smile on his face, he waited until his session was over and he ran straight back to his apartment. He was living in L.A along with everyone else but they had already moved on with their lives and were earning a living. Phineas got dressed in one of his favourite striped shirts that looked a lot like the one he wore when he was younger, a pair of blue jeans, and this cool black jacket he bought from some guy in the street. He began to think about who he should ask first and realised that he should start with who he thought was a lot easier and that was Buford, from what he remembered Buford worked in a car rental store so he wasn't hard to find
~Buford~
Buford was 38 now with a wife and a child, he wasn't able to get much of a job and the only place he could find work for was his dad's car rental store in L.A., this didn't make Buford happy but he was able to accept his new life. For him that day was just another ordinary day of wondering around looking to help people not really giving much service, until suddenly he saw a figure with a black coat staring at one of the nicest cars they had. Buford took the opportunity and headed over to him
Buford: Hello sir
The figure said nothing
Buford: The car's a beauty isn't it?
Phineas: Yeah, but she's no beast
Phineas turned around to talk to Buford
Phineas: Hello Buford
Buford: Jesus Phineas, it's been a while
Phineas: Yeah I know, how are you man?
Buford: I've been good, how about you?
Phineas: Yeah never better, so how's your wife
Buford: Do you mean Sally?
Phineas: No I mean you wife
Buford: So Sally?
Phineas: Yeah how's she?
Buford: She's ok, coping with the job I have
Phineas: Well good to know you're growing strong
Buford: So are you looking to rent a car?
Phineas: Sadly no, I'm afraid the end is nigh?
Buford: What do you mean?
Phineas: Come on, you know what I mean. I'm talking about what could be the best night of our lives
Buford: You want to try that pub crawl again?
Phineas: Yeah it will be great, we're all going
Buford: What even Isabella?
Phineas: Why wouldn't she be coming?
Buford: Well I thought after…
Phineas: It's alright she's in, but what we want to know is are you?
Buford: Well I'll have to check with my wife
Phineas: Since when have you had to check with your wife?
Buford: Since we got married
Phineas: Come on man it'll be great, it will give you a chance to show off
Buford: Tell you what…I'm in
Phineas: YES! Alright well meet me at the bus station tomorrow at 3 go it?
Buford: Got it
~Ferb~
Ferb was 39 and was doing a lot better than Buford was, because of his construction skill he got a job as a builder and managed to make a name of himself around the city. At the moment h was trying to put together a sky scraper and was close to finishing the last wall, when suddenly he was distracted
Phineas: Knock Knock!
Ferb turned around to see his brother standing in the empty doorframe
Ferb: What are you doing here Phineas?
Phineas: Oohh you're more of a talker now aren't you?
Ferb: I have to talk more Phineas, it's part of my job
Phineas: So are you seeing anybody?
Ferb: No, I'm still on the lookout I guess
Phineas: I'll hook you up sometime, just give me a call
Ferb: What do you want Phineas?
Phineas: Well I know a certain thing we didn't do that we need to finish
Ferb: What are you talking about?
…
Ferb: Oh no not that again
Phineas: Come on man. It will be amazing plus it will give us a chance to bond again
Ferb: I don't know if I like the sound of that
Phineas: Look just come it will be fun, everybody else is in
Ferb: Even Isabella?
Phineas: Yep
Ferb: She's going to go drinking with you?
Phineas: With us! Look just meet me at the bus centre at 3 ok?
Phineas walked out of the construction room
Ferb: What's this all about Phineas?
~Baljeet~
Baljeet had used his smartness to his advantage after college, he was working as a mathematician but was also a real estate agent so he could earn some extra money. He was trying to sell a really nice house to a married couple when Phineas showed, Baljeet asked him what he was doing here as he sort of wanted him to leave
Phineas: Look it's all about closure, I mean why should something as small as getting older affect reaching our goals. You know it could be exciting Baljeet
Baljeet: Right?
Phineas: I mean think about it like a stock take or something
Baljeet: A stock take! You make that sound so much fun
Phineas: Isn't this crawl something you've always wanted?
Baljeet: Well honestly what I really want is for you to get your feet of that sofa
Phineas: Please come on the crawl
Baljeet: I'm not going to just say yes Phineas, I mean you did just barge in forcing me to ask potential clients to leave the building. I mean WTF?
Phineas: Good to see you too, look all you need to know is that Phineas is back on the horse
Baljeet: And what's horse slang for?
Phineas: It mean I'm back on the bike
Baljeet: And what's bike slang for?
Phineas: Bicycle
Baljeet: I'm confused
Phineas: Don't be
Baljeet: OK?
Phineas: Come on man, this is our chance to finally finish what we started
Baljeet: And why would I want to do that? Besides I can't I…have a doctor's appointment
Phineas: Yeah you do, with Dr. Ink…you know Dr…
Baljeet: Drink, yes I get it
Phineas: I mean this is also a good chance to see what everyone else is doing, you can tell them what you're doing and who knows maybe you'll make it to the end this time
Baljeet: So Isabella is definitely coming?
Phineas: Yeah of course
Baljeet: And you convinced her how?
~End of Chapter 1~
