Best friends for Ava

Chapter 1: Maybe someday...

This story is not offical in anyway for the Phineas and Ferb series.

8 years ago...

Airports, no matter what day and age, are too busy for anybody to ignore. They're as busy as it gets, the waiting is terrible, and just down right unplesent. However, one young man is trying his very best to keep a smile on his face and look forward to his destination. And that young man is one named Lawrence Fletcher.

"It feels like we're only a few steps away from America! And all we have to do now is get on the plane! Let's go, son."

He then proceeds to get on his flight, but as he moves, he feels a bit of a tug. While Lawerence is trying to move on, his little boy, who's hand he's holding, isn't willing to move. He's not even willing to look at his father. All that little Ferb Fletcher is doing is staring down at the ground.

"Ferb, we have to get going! You don't want us to miss our flight, do you?"

Ferb stays quiet. He doesn't want to say anything to his father. He doesn't even want to LOOK at his father.

"Come on, Ferb. We have a new life to start! But we can't start it if we don't get on that plane. You remember Linda, right? From our last trip over there? Well, we get to spend alot more time with her and her kids! We'll have a new family waiting for us! Doesn't that sound great?"

After hearing hat his father just said, Ferb finally raises his head. Lawrence can now clearly see that this whole, Ferb has been crying. His face is all red and wet from tears, it's without doubt that Ferb doesn't want to move to America.

"Ferb! What's the matter?"

"But...but...but what about Ava?" Ferb asks. "I'm never going to see her again!"

THAT's the problem. Lawrence has completely forgotten about Ava, Ferb's closest friend. He remembers how close Ferb and Ava were. Thinking over the two of them in his head, it even made Lawrence drop a tear from his eye. But, what they have to do simply has to be done. Being a good father like he is, Lawrence knows exactly what to say. He bends down on his knee to lower himself to Ferb's lever, and looks him in the eye.

"Ferb, I know you're going to miss Ava. I'm gonna miss her too. But what happened can't be changed. We're gonna have to go to America and move to Danville. But let me promise you this. One day, we'll come back here and try to find Ava for you. I know it'll be hard since her mother won't let you two stay in touch, but I promise you that you'll see her again. So cheer up."

Although Ferb is still very upset, he's decides that he can't cry much more for now, and begins to stop. He looks back up to his father, and answers his promise with a simple nod.

"Alright then. Let's say goodbye to England then and say hello to the United States of America! It's a shame Linda doesn't live in Canada, but hey! What can you do?"

Now that he's talked his son into moving, the father and son finally board on their plane to start their new life. After a long wait on the plane, it finally takes off. Lawrence got lucky and got a window seat, allowing him to watch the people and buildings to get smaller and smaller as they take off.

"Ooh, they really do look like ants, don't they?" Lawrence says with a smile. "Goodbye, England! We''ll come visit again someday! Come on Ferb. Say bye to England."

Ferb looks over to the window and sees as the plan gets further and futher away from the ground. He looks down, from his dad's window and sees just how small everyone is getting already.

Then, he quietly says..."Goodbye...Ava."

His father can still clearly see that Ferb isn't going to let this escape from his head, as he knows just how close Ferb and Ava were. But, what he told his son was no lie. Lawrence Flecther meant what he told Ferb, and he hopes that one day, he will meet Ava again. Someway. Somehow.

In the present day time...

When is the time of the day when kids are smiling and cheering when they're at school?

The answer...is when it's over for the day. After a day that seemed to have lasted forever, the children dash out of the school like it was on fire! Normally they only run out like it there's an ice cream truck outside. The reason for this is because today, it's the first day of March Break! Meaning no school for 9 days (including weekends). This is especially nice for two young geniuses who enjoy making FULL use of their day. And the names of them are Phineas and Ferb.

After everyone else runs out and tremples anyone too slow to leave (such as Baljeet), Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella become the only 3 to calmly walk out of the school. Even though their great summer had ended quite awhile ago, they still manage to keep going with their amazing adventures.

"So Phineas. What do you and Ferb plan on doing for March Break?" Isabella asks.

"Oh, what WON'T we do? We've been planning so much for the next summer already that we've got enough projects to keep us busy this break. Isn't that right Ferb?"

With an excited look on his face, Ferb smiles and pulls a set of scematics right out of his backpack.

"What about you, Isabella?" Phineas asks.

"I've agreed to help watch over a Fireside Girl who'll be-"

"Out of my way, nerds."

Without a fair warning, their friend and bully, Buford, shoves Ferb out his way to get out of the school. Not realizing his strength, he unintentionally knocks Ferb down, which makes him drop his plans.

"You ok, bro?" Phineas asks.

Without actually answer, Ferb gets up and nods to his brother.

"Here, let me get those for you." Isabella says, refering to the scematics Ferb dropped. "Oh, and you dropped your wallet too. Didn't know you had one."

So Isabella bends down and picks up the and wallet Ferb. But as she grabs his wallet, something drops out of it. She figures it's money that slipped out. So she picks it up too. But Isabella quickly finds out that it isn't money at all. It's actually an old torn picture of a little girl.

"Hey, Ferb. Who's this-"

Reacting very quickly, Ferb snatches the picture a holds it so the other can't see it. "IT'S NOTHING! IT'S NO ONE! IT'S NOTHING!"

Wanting to keep his picture hidden, Ferb shoves the picture in his pocket and walks off without his friends. But, he's forced to come back to Isabella so she can pass him the scematics h dropped before walking away. THEN, he walks back to her so he can get his wallet back, then walks off. Then, one more time, he walks back to her.

"No Ferb. You didn't forget anything else." Isabella says.

Giving her the thumbs up, Ferb, once and for all, walks away, leaving Phineas and Isabella alone.

"Phineas, what was wrong with Ferb there?"

"He seems to really value that picture." Phineas explains. "But he's never told me anything about it. I don't even know what on it. I've always figured it's best not to ask him about it, so it's left like that."

"Well, when I saw it, I saw a really young girl, but I only got a real tiny glimpse of it. Maybe it's of an old crush?"

"Trust me, we'll be showing a lot more respect to him if we don't bother thinking about it."

Naturally, Phineas and Isabella are now very curious about the picture. But like Phineas suggested, they've decided to try their best to not worry about it. But they really have no idea just how Ferb feels about his precious picture. The picutre of his oldest friend. The picture of Ava.

Being the only thing he has left to remember her, he must see to it that it never leaves his side. Not even for a moment.

My next big story! YAY!

I'm still writing my other big story, "The Honeymooners", but once that's done, I'm moving straight to this one. So chapter two will take a while.

I've been thinking that I'd like to take a break from writing my usual PhinBella based stories, and decided to write one that's less about romance and more about friendship. This story will not just be about Ferb, but as you may have guessed, my FIRST, and for now will be my ONLY, Phineas and Ferb OC. This story, I hope to include musical numbers, plenty of comedy, and if I can, maybe even a Doofenshmirtz sub-plot.

And that's all 'm gonna say to you. Won't even tell you who the hell Ava actually is. Why? Because I"M EVIL! HA!

Here's chapter one as a little preview, and you'll see the rest after "Honeymooners" is done. Happy readings!
