Phineas and Ferb

Dark Ages

Prologue

Fanfiction Summary: A meteorite falls to Earth and crash lands in Danville. At first, it seems like nothing to worry about. But little do they know that inside this meteorite is an alien lifeform that changes you from the inside out. And sooner or later, it not only threatens the lives of those in Danville, but it also threatens the lives of those in another city. Meanwhile, Candace goes on a journey of enlighment to get over her obsession with busting Phineas and Ferb. I know the summary isn't that great, but believe me, the story is much better. Definitely pairings in here! Phinbella? Definitely. Canderemy? You bet. Someone else & Ferb? Perhaps...but who?

Disclaimer: Phineas and Ferb is not mine; it belongs to Dan Povenmire & Jeff "Swampy" Marsh. The other show I'm crossing over with is also not mine.

It was a cool night in the town of Danville. The kids were all in their beds, sleeping peacefully, the cars were are parked in their driveways, the adults were home, relaxing. All was right.

Two young boys, Phineas and Ferb, were having wonderful dreams about their summer adventures that they have already had, and the summer adventures they would have in the future. The room was completely silent. They were completely care free, vibrant, and hopeful, and totally unaware of the events that were about to conspire in the next several days.

Meanwhile, up in outer space, a small meteor was heading towards Earth. Having been struck by an asteroid earlier, it was now barreling towards the planet, with a target set (not really) on Danville. Flying at speeds of over 36,000 miles an hour, the jagged shaped meteorite plunged into the atmosphere, and eventually made its way into Phineas and Ferb's backyard. It smashed right into the front yard of the home, but everybody in the house was so deep into their sleep that they did not even hear it crash. Phineas didn't even stir.

The next morning, the two stepbrothers awakened early, even earlier than the rest of their family. They opened up their windows and saw the meteorite that made a dent in their front yard.

"Hey Ferb, would you look at that?" Phineas asked, taking a liking to the meteorie. "It's a meteorite. It must've fallen last night while we were sleeping. Wow, we musta been exhausted. I didn't hear a thing."

The two stepbrothers quickly ran outside without so much as getting dressed, and ran right towards the meteorite. They observed it and took a few quick notes. They were so caught up on observing the rock that they didn't notice what was happening inside, or now rather, outside the rock.

Through the cracks of the rocks, some kind of small, black lifeform slowly crawled out of the meteorite. It was like nothing that anybody had ever seen before. It slowly crawled out of the meteorite onto the lawn, and remained undetected as it crawled up to Phineas and hid itself in his shoes. "Hmm, it doesn't look like anything that could've come from our town...or from this planet for that matter."

As the two brothers were running more tests on the rock, their friend & neighbor from across the street, Isabella, who had a huge crush on Phineas, came strolling in with her usual "happy-go-lucky" attitude. "Hey Phineas."

"Oh, hey Isabella." Phineas said cheerfully, still never the wiser to her feelings for him.

"What's with the strange rock in your front yard?"

"That's what we're trying to figure out. Apparently this is some kind of meteorite that fell from outer space somewhere and landed in our frontyard." With each word Phineas spoke, Isabella began gushing more and more, but was careful not to let Phineas see it. "We're running some tests on it to see just what kind of rock it is."

"Can I help?"

"Sure. Help us carry the rock into the backyard and we'll do some more tests." The three were able to carry the small rock into the backyard where they performed even more extensive tests on it, trying to figure out what it was, where it came from, and more importantly, if they were in any immediate danger. Unfortunately for them, the danger wasn't in the rock itself. Instead, it was what was inside the rock, now what was in Phineas's shoes, that was the danger.

Meanwhile, back up in the house, Phineas & Ferb's older sister, Candace, was now awake and on her cellphone with her best friend, Stacy.

"Stacy, can you believe it? Jeremy's taking me out to a movie tonight!" She shouted into her cellphone to her best friend, who screamed back in excitment. "Oh my gosh, I feel like the luckiest girl alive!"

"Well you sure are, tonight! Do you know how strong a relationship gets after a date at the movies!"

"No."

"Well...neither do I. But I'm pretty sure this is huge! What movie are you guys going to see?"

"I don't know. Jeremy said it was going to be a surprise. I can't wait to see what it is! Oh wait a second..." She got up from her bed and walked over to her window; she immediately saw Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella working on the meteorite. She immediately assumed that they had built in when really it had come from the sky. Since she could remember, she had wanted to get her brothers in trouble for their outlandish schemes during the summer. But she could never convince her mom to believe her about any of them.

She was determined to do it one way or another. "I just thought of something. Two somethings, actually. And one of them is pointy. I'll call you back, Stacy." And with that she hung up her cellphone and marched downstairs to the living room where she opened the back door and stormed outside to the three kids. "OK, what are you guys up to!"

"We're running tests on this meteorite that crashed into our frontyard last night."

"Don't play dumb with me, Phineas! I know you and Ferb must've been working all night on this...this...what is it?"

"Well, Candace, I was trying to tell you." Before you so rudely interrupted me. "It fell in our frontyard last night. We're not really sure what it is yet. But once we run some more tests, we'll know for sure."

"Oh. Well..." Maybe I shouldn't have jumped the gun on that one. "I guess there's no harm in that if this thing really isn't...technically yours. Just don't let it get in the way of my date with Jeremy tonight or you guys are gonna get it!" She scoffed and stormed back into the house.

"Ok...get what?"

Ignoring Candace's snappish outburst, the three kids got back to their meteorite.

They ran every test they could think of for the whole day. But, nothing came back. They didn't get any results at all that they could use to help them with their mystery rock. Now, with the sun setting, and none of them any closer to an answer, the three decided to head back into the house to watch some TV.

"Well, guys, I hate to say this, but this day wasn't too eventful." Phineas sighed, feeling dejected that he didn't accomplish what he wanted to.

"Aww, cheer up, Phineas." Isabella said, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder, making both of them blush slightly. "I'm sure if we give it another go tomorrow, we'll get some answers?"

"You think?"

"Sure." She grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. It was a news cast showing a breaking story about the meteorite that had fallen into their backyard.

"Good evening. I'm Tom Tucker."

"And I'm Diane Simmons. Our top story tonight: A meteor shower has hit Danville. Or at least, we think it has."

"Later last night, a rock believed to be a meteor that originated in the Asteroid Belt broke through Earth's atmosphere and landed somewhere in Danville. However, its exact location is unknown and the exact type of rock is also unknown."

"Hey, you don't think they're talking about the rock we found in our front yard, do you?" Phineas inquired.

"They could be." Isabella answered. "But we'll just have to wait and see."

While the three kids were watching TV, they were completely unaware that the mysterious alien that was residing in Phineas's shoes was now starting to make its way out of it, or something like that. A small piece detached itself from the rest and crawled out of the shoe and made its way to the door, remaining completely undetected the entire time. It crawled under the door and went outside to see what else Danville had to offer.

"Hey, I wonder how Candace's date with Jeremy is going?"

Meanwhile, at the movie theater, Candace and Jeremy were enjoying their date, watching "Tropic Thunder". Well, at least Jeremy was. Candace, however, was becoming a bit paraoid. "Candace, is everything alright?" Jeremy asked.

"Huh? Oh, oh yeah, everything's fine. Nothing wrong." She tried to convince him.

"You're thinking about your brothers, aren't you?"

"What? No! No, not at all. I'm not thinking about Phineas and Ferb...and what they might be doing with that meteorite they built!" Suddenly, her left eye began violently twitching. "Uh oh. My "busting" twitch is back!"

Jeremy sighed. "Candace, you promise me you wouldn't think about them once on our date tonight. How are we supposed to make this work if you can't even give up your brothers for one night?"

"No, no, I can! I can! Really, I'm not even thinking about them! Just because my eye's twitching doesn't mean I'm thinking about my brothers! Heck, you're the one who brought them up! How do you like that, Jeremy? Huh!" She raised her voice as Jeremy flinched.

"Hey, shut up down there!" Someone a few rows behind them shouted to her. She turned around and snarled at him.

"Hey, yourself, bucko! I'm trying to make a move on my future husband here! So shut your yap!"

"Shut your yap! We're trying to enjoy the movie."

"Well, so are we."

"Uh, Candace..." Jeremy hoped he would be able to calm Candace down so they could go back to enjoying themselves. "Calm down. You're causing a scene."

"Quiet, Jeremy. I'm giving this poser a piece of my mind." She said obnoxiously to her "boyfriend", who frowned and turned back to the screen. "If you think you're so tough, then come down here and prove it!"

"Maybe I will!"

"Maybe you should!"

"Ahem, excuse me?" An employee said tapping Candace's shoulder. She turned around and hissed before realizing who he was. "We've gotten several noise complaints coming from this seat, and I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you and your date to leave."

"And I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to lose a couple of pounds." She insulted, pointing out that he was slightly overweight. Of course, what she didn't know was that he only looked overweight because of his massive six-pack. "Fatty Ginormous!" She was really angry now, and it was best not to bother her. Jeremy knew this was happening, and was not pleased, especially when the guy took it upon himself to kick them up. He picked them both up by their collars, carried them to the front door, and then literally kicked them out, causing them to land on the cement sidewalk on their stomachs.

"And stay out!" He shouted, but just as he was about to close the door, Candace tried to retaliate.

"Hey, bub! What's the big idea kicking us out like that!" She screamed as she stood up and dusted herself off.

"Hey, I warned you to leave peacefully, lady. But you didn't listen to me. And you called me fat!"

"Because you are!"

"No..." He took off his suit to reveal his amazingly buffed out torso, including his six pack. Jeremy was totally amazed as Candace was at a loss for words. "I'm buff. That's different."

"But...But...I thought you just ate too many cheese puffs."

"For your information, I don't eat any junk food at all."

Candace began to stutter, trying to think of something else to say. But before she could, the guy took out one of those sticks that police officers sometimes carry with them, and struck Candace hard in the head. She was knocked unconscious and fell right to the ground, instantly asleep, snoring loudly. Seeing as his date was totally ruined (and I ain't talkin' about Candace), Jeremy decided to call it a night and started walking home, while the guy went back inside the movie theater, leaving Candace all alone on the ground, sleeping like an animal.

Back at the house, Phineas & Ferb had already gone to sleep. Snuggled up in their beds with their nice, warm pajamas on, it took no time at all for them to drift off to sleep. Unfortunately, that was the beginning of the trouble.

As soon as they were both asleep, the strange, black lifeform that took refuge in Phineas's shoes, slowly crept its way up to the boy's bed. Phineas was always the first one to fall asleep between the two of them, and he would almost never wake up in the night for anything, except to go to the bathroom. Other than that, he slept like a log. But for Ferb, it was easier. So as soon as he heard something stirring around in his room, he opened his eyes to take a look.

Initially, he saw nothing. Even after waiting a couple of minutes for something to happen again, he was sure it was nothing. So he layed back down in his bed and closed his eyes, giving the alien lifeform a perfect opportunity. It climbed onto Phineas's bed, and slowly inched its way to the knocked out boy. It got under the blankets and began to attach itself to the boy's body, starting with his legs. It spread out and stretched to cover his pajama pants, which, tonight, looked alot like his trademark blue shorts. Then it went for his shirt, which was a regular orange T-shirt.

Ferb, once again sensing that something was amiss, opened his eyes and looked at his sleeping brother. The alien was moving around under the blankets, making it look like Phineas was moving his hands under there. Assuming that it was nothing to worry about, he closed his eyes once again, while the alien continued to overtake the boy, inside and out.

End of Prologue.

Well, that's the first part of a very long and very epic story. It is a crossover; see if you can guess what it's crossing over with. And no, it is not a rip-off! It is my unique version and you'll see why later on. I'm not sure whether or not to post it in the crossover section because of certain reasons, so if you can figure out what crossover I'm doing, and you believe I should post it in the crossover section, send me a message either through review or private message. For now, here's a little taste, and if I get enough positive feedback, I'll continue it.

Next Time: What is with this new alien lifeform? And what does it do? Well, Phineas will tell us, one way or another.

Expected Update: Definitely sometime after June 14th, but no guarentees due to finals and regents tests.
