Phineas, Linda and Candace Flynn got in Linda's car. They were leaving on holiday for the week. Ferb and Lawrence Fletcher waved to them as they left.
Abigal Satoshi (their next-door neighbour) was sitting on her window seat, sketching a vast, snowy landscape. She saw Ferb walk to his backgarden, turned to a fresh page in her sketchpad and began to draw the boy.
Ferb turned and looked up to Abigal just as she turned her dark eyes back to the page. The young boy spoke with a strong English accent, "What are you drawing, Abigal?"
This brought Abigal's attention to him once more, "Nothing you would be interested in." Her tone was soft, calm and silky. A lock of vibrant pink hair fell out the open window when Abigal turned her head sharply back her sketch book.
"Oh, really?" Ferb asked, his tone incriminating.
"Yep!" Abigal flashed him a rarely seen, cheeky grin.
Ferb was about to reply to the grin when Lawrence came out to the side of the house and joined the conversation, "Are you two having an argument?"
"No." The two children replied in unison.
"We were just having a discussion..." Abigal told Ferb's father without looking up from her drawing. From her continuous hand movement, she was either colouring or shading.
"Oh, what are you drawing?" an intrigued Lawrence asked.
Abigal sighed and replied to the question exactly as she had answered it before.
Before the two below the window could say anymore, a nasal voice called Abigal. Abigal rolled her eyes and apologised for having to leave, "COMING CARL!" the girl who was still a mysterious figure with most shouted.
There was an awkward silence between the father and son. Until...
"You like her." Lawrence told his son plainly.
Ferb shot daggers at his father who took this as his cue to back away...SLOWLY!
(Hey. It's me, the author. I just want to say that this was written at 10pm and then written in and between my lessons at school so I'm sorry if it sucks, I was kinda pressed for time. Anyway, BACK TO THE STORY!!)
Abigal returned, "Sorry about that," She grinned sheepishly, "My dad and Carl were being idiots and trying to cook, but they mucked that up badly. They made a huge mess and I had to help them clean it up and then show them how to cook." She picked up her drawing, made a couple of tweaks and adjustments then smiled to herself.
Ferb was confused by this, but was also intrigued. He walked to the front door of Abigal's house, knocked and was let in by Carl. He made his way up to Abigal's room. It wasn't too hard to guess which one was Abigal's. Her door was shut, music was blaring and the door was covered in drawings, stickers and photos. He knocked on the door and got a reply.
"Just a sec!" Abigal shouted over the music from inside.
The door to her room opened, but no one was near it. Ferb peered inside the room and saw that it wasn't very tidy. The floor was covered in crumpled up pieces of paper (Some drawings, some notes and some full pages of writing which were obviously stories that had been scrapped), wires of all kinds –some not even being used- and assorted books and drawing utensils. The purple walls were covered in posters, drawing and photos, mostly of people and landscapes.
Abigal was standing in front of the wall which was right behind the door(there was literally a wall behind the door so the door opened but not fully since there was a wall across the back...you get it now??), putting her latest picture up on a frame. When she came out from behind the wall, she froze. "Er...What are you doing in here?!" She asked Ferb, who was still standing in the doorway.
Ferb just blinked and glanced in her direction before giving the strange room another sweep with his eyes. His eyes rested on her desk which was against a wall, underneath another window. It had a laptop on it which had a document open on it which was covered in typed words. He didn't have time to try and read it since Abigal closed it suddenly, "Don't look at that!" She hissed.
"Sorry.." The confused boy said, still standing in the doorway. He walked around the perimeter of the room, looking at the drawings. He stopped at the snowy landscape that was being drawn earlier, "Where's that?"
Abigal's attention was taken from checking the laptop to the picture, "It's my hometown. I miss it, but I like it here." She smiled at Ferb, who was still looking at the picture. The mysterious girl then realised that the secrect frame above her bed was still uncovered. She ran to her bed and stood in front of the frame, just in time.
"What are you hiding?" The suspicious young boy asked.
"Oh, nothing you would be interested in!" Abigal's voice wavered as she spoke.
The two kids had a staring contest to see if Abigal would move and let her obvious crush see the frame. Unfortunatly, Abigal lost. She moved away, head hung on defeat. The frame was full of drawings of Ferb and the edge was covered in different pictures of hearts stuck on it, "Woah..."
Abigal had gone as pink as her hair. She was sitting on the window seat which was also above her bed. She looked out the window to see Perry go down on of his entrances to his lair. This brightened her mood a bit since it could be a good excuse to get the boy who now knew her secret out of the house. This thought gave Abigal that empty feeling in the pit of her stomach.
