Phineas and His Little Brother

by DrHankryZone13

Phineas Flynn is half of Danville's Dynamic Duo and Joey Flynn is younger and steadfast. Despite his disability, Joey always had his older brothers (and sister) there for him... Ratings may change per chapter ;)

1. Walking Lessons

"C'mon Joey! You can do this!"

Phineas Flynn spoke encouragingly trying to coax his little steadfast brother to try walking to him on the metallic leg he and Ferb built before the Brit went to spend the rest of the month at his grandparents. The said child, Joey, shook his head vigorously in fear while clinging on to the backyard's tree, trembling while balancing on his real foot.

"I…I can' it big brother!" Joey cried, tears filling his big eyes. "I'm scared!"

Phineas went over to the 4 year old and laid a hand on his shoulder. "Don't be little bro," The older boy said soothingly with a soft smile. "Look, I know it's gonna be scary at first, but trust me! You'll get used to it and soon you'll be walking or running on twos like me and Ferb and Candace!"

Joey sobbed and a slight bit of hope filled his eyes. "I will?" A noticeable smile formed at the corners of his mouth. Seeing that his comfort is working, Phineas grinned. "You bet Joey!" He replied enthusiastically. Joey then started to stand on both feet but was still afraid. "But what if I fall?"

Phineas chuckled and ruffled the younger boy's hair. "I'll always catch you if that happens!" Seeing the sense of doubt on his brother's face, Phineas decided to play it coolly. "Besides, I never miss you know?" He scoffed as Joey giggled in delight. The older boy smiled and held out his arms as the younger one wobbly took his first step. Joey gulped nervously and looked at Phineas who continued to wear the kind smile he always wore. With much encouragement, Joey moved on to the second step, this time, on his metallic foot.

"That's it! You're doing great Joey!" Phineas cheered. "Just a little farther and a bit faster! You can do it!" Joey grinned brightly and walked faster until he was held by his older brother. Phineas held him close and patted the toddler's shoulder. "Now that wasn't so bad right?" He soothingly spoke gaining an eager nod and reply from Joey. "Yup! And I wanna run too big brother!" Phineas chuckled and stood up. "Sure, and we can have a race too if you wish!"
