The red-headed sixteen-year-old was nervous. I was her first day at a regular school since she was ten. She sat in the back of her parents' small truck. Her mom glanced up in the review mirror and smiled.
"Don't worry Eliza, you will be fine" Her mother, Marianne Thornberry said.
"Who starts school a month and a half in to the new school year" Eliza asked sulking slightly.
"Lots of kids do poppet" her father, Nigel Thornberry said with his thick British accent, "Besides we meet with the principal first"
"Oh yeah like that will be fun" Eliza muttered
They pulled up in front of the High School building. There were lots of kids hanging out in front of the high school.
Marianne parked the car. The three got out, Eliza set a quick pace. Some of the jocks noticed her.
"Check out the new kid" laughed a boy with short spiky black hair.
"Leave her alone Daniel" A girl with chestnut colored hair and glasses called out. A green haired boy was standing behind her.
Eliza stopped and watched for a moment.
"Why did you have to use my full first name" Daniel asked
"Simple you are being a jerk" The girl responded, "By the way Mrs. Starwirk (A/N: pronounced Star-wirk) wants to see you in her class room right now"
"Aw" Daniel started
"Danny language" the girl said.
"Whatever Gretchen" Danny said as he took off for the building.
"Come on Ferb let's get inside and see if we can find Addy" Gretchen said grabbing the green haired boy by his wrist, and then she called over her shoulder to a raven hair girl who was kissing a red headed boy, "Izzy PDA, and come on!" (A/N: PDA is the abbreviation of Public Display of Affection)
Eliza's parent caught up to her. They continued to the office.
They were ushered into the principal's office.
"Well it is unusual for a student to enter the school a month and half after school begins" Principal Allen said, "Due to Eliza's transcripts I will have a student who has all the same classes show her around"
"So you mean I have to lead around" Eliza asked, slightly irritated, as she pushed her glasses back up.
"Not really" Mr. Allen said, as the first bell rang, "and by the way we have a no bullying policy here at Danville High."
"So will she have a homeroom class?" Marianne asked
"Yes she will" Mr. Allen said, the tardy bell rang and the announcements came on.
The four in the office waited until the announcements were over.
"Okay I will call up your student guide" Mr. Allen stood up and put on the intercom, "Mrs. Saxon can you please send Gretchen Adler-Wareden (A/N: pronounced War-den) up here?"
The four in the office heard a collective 'ooh' from classroom which he had buzzed.
"Sure thing Mr. Allen" Mrs. Saxon replied.
In about five minutes they heard a knock on the door.
"Come in Miss Adler-Wareden" Mr. Allen call.
"You wanted to come to your office sir" Gretchen said
"Yes I want you to show young Miss Thornberry here around the campus, she has all of the same classes as you" Mr. Allen said
"Of Course sir" Gretchen said.
She is very formal with adults, I wonder why Eliza wondered.
"Okay you two better get to the next class" Mr. Allen said
"Yes sir," Gretchen said, "Come on we don't want to be late for Mr. Warrick's class."
Eliza followed the girl to the classroom. The teacher looked up at her. She handed him her schedule. He sat her next to a husky boy with a buzz cut.
It was the same in the following two classes. She had met Buford Van Stomm, Baljeet Rai, and Alex Morris. Then it was lunch period.
"Come on Eliza, hmm… that wouldn't be short for Elizabeth would it?" Gretchen asked
"Yeah my full first name is Elizabeth, but I would prefer it if you would just call me Eliza" Eliza said
"Fine by me" Gretchen said, picking a table where the red headed boy was sitting talking with the green haired boy from earlier.
A few seconds after Eliza and Gretchen sat down, a raven haired girl sat down next to the red, triangle headed boy.
"Hey guys Whatcha doin?" She asked.
"Hey Izzy chorused Phineas, Ferb and Gretchen
"Did you two get in trouble with the PDA earlier?" Ferb inquired.
"No we weren't caught" Phineas said with a sly grin.
"Hi who are you?" Isabella asked Eliza nicely
"I'm Eliza Thornberry" Eliza responded, "I just started today"
"Thornberry as in 'Sir Nigel Thornberry's Animal World'?" Isabella asked
"Yeah he is my dad" Eliza said
"Cool" Izzy said.
Five more girls and three guys joined them.
"Eliza this is Holly Wilson, Milly Holtz, Katie Nelson, Ginger Hirano, Adyson Sweetwater, and you have already met the guys" Gretchen said, "By the way that is Phineas Flynn, Isabella Garcia-Shapiro and Ferb Fletcher"
"You forgot to mention that Phineas is Izzys Boyfriend and Ferb is your Boyfriend" Katie pointed out.
"I was getting to that Katie" Gretchen said starting to chuckle, "Eliza there is something you should know about the seven of us girls"
"It was hard to ask Izzy on our first date" Phineas said "Not with you guys around"
"You were so oblivious to her crush for a very long time" Adyson said
"Even then you and Izzy dragged Ferb and me on your guys first date," Gretchen said, "That made that very awkward for the two of us for a while, but any way that is not the point, we were in a Fireside Girls Troop for a long time, that why all of us have the same bracelet on our right wrists"
The Seven former members of Danville Fireside Girls Troop 46231 lifted their right arms to show that they indeed had matching bracelets.
"Wow what did you get those for" Eliza asked.
"Exceptional show of unity for a troop" Holly said.
"We are one of few former Fireside Girls to ever get this honor" Milly said.
Just then a phone went off. It sounded like the Mr. Slushy Dawg jingle.
Damn it, stupid phone Gretchen muttered in German, then switching to English, "Hang on I have to take this"
Gretchen stood up and answered her phone. She listened for a bit. She nodded. She hung up and came back to the table.
"Well Ferb do you remember when you asked if I had work today?" Gretchen asked her boyfriend
"Yeah" Ferb said
"Well I don't and I won't for a few weeks" Gretchen said
"You weren't fired were you?" Isabella asked her best and oldest friend.
"No, someone decided to torch the restaurant last night" Gretchen said quietly
This was greeted by silence form everyone including Eliza.
"Was just the one you work at" Baljeet asked
"No three more were hit on the same night, the police are looking at the security tapes right now and they are going to be bringing in the current employees for questioning. If they didn't like the food so much why didn't they just file a complaint with corporate" Gretchen said softly
Isabella, Ferb and the other Former Fireside Girls looked at one another. They knew that she was upset and angry.
"Yo G, Coach says we got practice now" Danny said coming up to Gretchen
"Fine, I am coming" Gretchen said standing up.
"Hey Gretchen" Isabella called out
"Yeah" Gretchen responded
"Do you mind if we watch the practice?" Isabella asked.
"No you guys can come" Gretchen said then bolted off for the locker rooms.
"What sport does she play?" Eliza asked
"Field and Ice Hockey and Lacrosse" Phineas answered.
"But aren't those usually boys sports?" Eliza asked
"Danville High has an anyone can try out policy, we have a couple of guys on the volleyball team" Ginger explained
They arrived at a large playing field. The boys had class after lunch, so they went to get their stuff for the class. Eliza noticed that there were two hockey goals at opposite ends of the field. There were several people in hockey uniforms already out on the field. A new player came out and joined them in warm-ups. The player had a number 26 on their back. The players were just passing the brightly colored pucks around and shooting them in to the empty goals.
"She's pissed" Adyson noted, as Number 26 shot several goals with a hard, sharp slap of her stick.
"I can see that Adyson" Isabella said
They watched as the coach put them into a mock game.
"No a good idea, I feel bad for whoever has to play goalie against Gretchen" Katie said
The bell rang and no one moved. Eliza was confused.
"Don't we have class now?" Eliza asked
"Nope, Study Hall for those of us who have the 'A' schedule" Milly explained.
"Okay but what does that mean?" Eliza asked
"The 'A' schedule has Study Hall right after lunch, the 'B' schedule has Study Hall after this period and the 'C' schedule has the last Study Hall of the day which is the last period" Phineas explained as he watched one of the goalies get nailed in the chest with a puck.
"She is pretty damn pissed" Adyson said.
"No kidding" Eliza said, "She moves fast"
They watched the same goalie get nailed in the groin with another puck. Everyone winced especially Phineas and Ferb.
That had to hurt they thought. And they were right the goalie had fallen to the ground holding his groin.
"Sorry Danny, I didn't mean to hit your there" Gretchen said taking off her helmet.
"I know you didn't" Danny wheezed.
"Aw hell" Gretchen said followed by several swear words in German.
Isabella heard the German and recognized a few of the words.
"If you guys thought she was pissed before, she is extremely pissed now," Isabella said "I feel bad for whoever has her as a partner in sparring practice in Tae Kwon Do"
"She takes martial arts" Eliza asked surprised, as the small built girl didn't seem like the type to take martial arts.
"Yeah she's a black belt, she's been one since we were ten" Isabella said, "She often helps me with the new movements that my level learns"
"Isabella only started a year ago" Phineas said to Eliza's puzzled look.
"Incoming!" Shouted a player on the field, and everyone in the bleachers ducked as a puck came whizzing over their heads.
"I'll get it since you nearly took off the heads of my boyfriend, my best friend, my longtime friends and my new friend" Gretchen said coming up in to the bleachers, "Everyone ok?"
"Yeah" They all replied.
"Bunch of idiots, they know better than that" Gretchen muttered as she picked up the puck.
"Can't they get suspended for that?" Katie asked.
"Yeah they can get suspended for doing that, I will talk with the coach" Gretchen muttered.
A couple hours later the final bell rang. Eliza walked outside of the main school building. She immediately spotted her parents car.
"How was your first day Eliza" Nigel asked his daughter.
"Cool I guess, Mom, Dad can we check out the local martial arts dojos?" Eliza asked, as she had taken martial arts starting when she was 13. Eliza had taken her classes via webcam.
"Sure thing Eliza" Marianne said, pulling away from the curb.
"Thanks mom" Eliza said smiling for the first time in about three months.
Eliza's younger brother Donnie sat quietly in the backseat next to her.
"How was your day Donnie" Eliza asked him
"Good, someone tried to tie me to the flagpole" Donnie said quietly.
"Why?" Eliza asked
"Because I am the new student" Donnie siad, "can I take martial arts classes too?"
"Of course you can Donnie" Nigel said.
Two hours later…
The Thornberrys walked in to the dojo. They were greeted by the teacher. The teacher introduced herself as Mia.
"So you want to sign your daughter and son up for classes" Mia asked
"Yes, Eliza has made it to the fourth belt rank, and Donnie has never taken any martial arts classes" Marianne confrimed.
"Well my black belts are doing some pratice time, so we can use this time to get Eliza and Donnie uniforms and the proper belt ranking" Mia stated with a bright smile.
This took only five minutes. So Mia took them to watch the black belts pratice. They noted that a Blue belt with raven colored hair was watching the black belts.
They saw a black belt flip her oppoenet. Her short chestnut colored hair hanging in her face as she helped her fellow black belt up. The girl black belt looked over at the Thornberrys. She told the guy that she was taking a break for a few mintues.
"Hey Eliza" The girl said
"Hey…..Gretchen?" Eliza replied recongizing the girl
"Yeah, before you ask I am wearing contacts like at lunch and study hall ealier" Gretchen stated, "I don't want my glasses getting broken"
"That is understandable, oh and this is my mom, dad, and my brother Donnie," Eliza said gusturing to each as she introduced them.
"Nice to meet you" Gretchen said and then she called the Blue Belt over," Izzy come here"
Isabella came over to where Gretchen and the Thornberrys were standing.
"Hey Eliza" Isabella said, "I overheard so no need for introductions. So Gretchen you feeling a bit more relaxed?"
"No" Gretchen replied, "But at least Ferb and I are going out tonight"
"Did you just?" Isabella began
"Yes I just told you about a date but reminder no texting me tonight" Gretchen interrupted.
Isabella laughed as Gretchen glared at her.
"You have the tendency to disruptively text" Gretchen commented.
"Disruptively text?" Eliza inquired chuckling slightly.
"When she knows about a date she constantly sends texts to whoever let her know about the date" Gretchen said laughing.
"Why is it only me?" Isabella asked
"Because you have been with your boyfriend the longest Chief" Gretchen replied, calling Isabella by her old status with the Fireside Girls.
"Chief" Donnie asked confused.
"Wow I called you by your old status with the Fireside Girls" Gretchen commented, "and I haven't done that in years"
"You are the only person who hadn't slipped up since we entered High School until now" Isabella noted.
"Ah Freshman year was the year we exited the Fireside Girls, well we became 'Senior Advisors' due to the fact we had earned more patches in one year than most troops earned in a year" Gretchen commented.
"Phineas and Ferb had a major part in that," Isabella stated
"Yeah and collectively we earned at least 104 'Help thy Neighbor' patches each, and all together we earned 729 'Help thy Neighbor' patches in one summer. The made a new rule about that patch thanks to us. I will check and see if it is retroactive" Gretchen commented
"Gret do you need to get back to class" Isabella inquired.
"Nope it is just practice for the black belts" Gretchen replied, "By the way have you finished your homework?"
"Not yet, I have a few more problems to do for Mr. Simmons" Isabella siad.
Gretchen started chuckling. Isabella flushed a bright red. Eliza noted that the two probably had been friends for a very long time. Marianne and Nigel watched their youngest daughter interact with other humans after so many years.
"Gretchen I need your help setting up for the next class" Mia stated
"All right Mia," Gretchen said.
Isabella sat down with Eliza. Marianne and Nigel watched the martial arts class's teacher and Gretchen flipping down thick heavy padded mats down on the floor. They also checked the mats on the wall to make sure the mats were secure.
"Do you want me to go get the gear" Gretchen inquired.
"Yes go and get it please" Mia requested.
Gretchen went to go get the protective gear. Mia glanced over at Isabella and back at the direction Gretchen went.
"Izzy is there any problems with Gretchen" Mia asked the raven haired girl.
"Yes, someone troched several of the Mr. Slushy Dwags" Isabella replied.
"Oh that's not good" Mia commented.
"I know and she has been in a dark mood all day since she got the call" Isabella noted, "I want to know who did it so that way I can ask the punk why he did it."
"Isn't arson punishable by law" Donnie asked
"Yes, yes it is, but they need to prove without a reasonable doubt that someone did it" Eliza responded.
"Okay" Donnie commented queitly.
The two Thornberry children followed all instructions in their respective classes. When they returned to their new home they found two surprises there. One was the oldest Thornberry child standing in the kitchen. The second one was a notice that said that there was going to be a welcoming party to welcome them to Danville.
"I haven't seen you in ages Debbie" Eliza said as she rushed forward to hug her sister.
"It is good to see you too dwebilo" Debbie replied with a broad grin on her face.
Okay there we go end of chapter 1 or end of the first P&F/Wild Thornberry crossover. I will write more only if I get at least two requests for me to continue. Any way Review if you wish
