Chapter One

Phineas and Isabella were in the attic of their Maple Lane house searching for suitcases. Years had passed since their marriage and the birth of their first child. Despite both making more than enough money to live wherever they wanted and in the biggest house money could buy, they both thought that the best thing to do would be to live where their journey had begun. But today was about preparing for vacation, and that meant searching through the deepest reaches of an abyss filled with medals, trophies, plaques, old projects, hand-me-downs, and things Perry would dig up in the yard and keep them from throwing out. As the couple made it to the deepest recesses of the storage, that just so happened to house the suitcases, they found an old infinite storage capsule that Phineas had made when they entered middle school. After blowing some dust off it, Isabella realized that this one was labeled "Summer Memories".

"Phineas," she questioned. "Do you know what this is?"

A struggling Phineas looked around the three giant suitcases he was currently balancing to see a metal cube in his wife's hand. "Old?"

"Funny. It's that cube of pictures and souvenirs from summers up until a little before we got married." Isabella's eyes became vacant from nostalgia. "Remember, you made it so that we would never forget 'summer: the greatest time of our lives'?"

Phineas set the bags down and made his way over to Isabella. "Clearly I had no clue what I was talking about calling it the greatest time of our lives. How could I have known what adventures would await us in adulthood." He said while pulling his wife into a quick kiss. He took the cube from her hand and pushed a red button on its side. An image of a tree house appeared and the sounds of the forest could be heard from the cube. "Hey that's the tree house before I had to renovate it into a multifamily vacation home!"

Isabella took the cube back from her husband and turned a dial next to the red button Phineas had pushed. The tree house flickered out of existence, giving way to their group of friends at a Phillies game with Mr. and Mrs. Flynn-Fletcher. "Wow Phineas, this is amazing! How could we have let this get away from us so easily? We should call up Ferb and Emily and relive some of the good old days. We could even show the kids what we were capable of!"

…..

Phineas and Isabella sat at the kitchen table across from Ferb and Emily, the cube situated right in the middle of them all. The men each had a Blue Moon and the women Twisted Teas. Emily stared transfixed on the cube, fascinated by what could lie inside.

"So," she began, her voice now more Americanized from living in the States for so long. "This has little pieces and flashbacks to summers as far back as when you were only in sixth grade."

"Right." Isabella answered.

"So Ferb, does this mean that I'm going to get all the dirty secrets of what you did with girlfriends past?" Emily only half teasingly asked.

"Yep." Despite being engaged for over a year, Ferb was no more talkative with his fiancé than he was with his brother, sister-in-law, or random stranger.

Emily was about to give a snappy remark when Phineas interrupted. "How about we just push the random button and see what comes out rather than use the cube to search through Ferb's old escapades?" And with that he pushed the red button and a small green play button on the device. Unfortunately the memory that came out wasn't exactly one he wanted his brother to see.

The memory started with the back off a barely clothed . . . make that not clothed woman running on the beach laughing. Because of the darkness of the scene and sound of waves crashing her voice was unidentifiable. The man who ran on screen next however was easily identified as a 21 year old Phineas Flynn. Knowing what was coming next, Isabella quickly hit the next button on the cube, a deep blush covering both the faces of her and her husband. Ferb and Emily laughed hysterically at what was almost a sex on the beech scene courtesy of Phineas and Isabella.

"Thank God we didn't let the kids see that! Imagine trying to explain that one to them." Isabella moaned in embarrassment.

"Try having your brother know that you've had sex on the beach . . . especially 'cause I've been lying about that during kings years."

Ferb took the cube from Phineas and Isabella. "How about," he chucked, "we start this at the beginning. Back in sixth grade when the only thing that mattered was fishing in the park, building projects in the backyard and roasting marshmallows by the fire with our friends and parents at night? Why not show Emily here just how crazy we could be as kids. Let's show her and your kids why the names Phineas and Ferb were known throughout the Tri-State Area before we were allowed to drive."

"Yea Ferb! I like the way you think." Phineas shouted in excitement.

A/N: now that I've gotten back in the swing of things, I'm going back to writing. As much as I liked the second installment of the Times Change series, I have a feeling that this one is going to be a lot better. Reading the original made me realize that that was my masterpiece so far and I really want to top it. Read and Review! Complements or criticism, all are needed to make this the best story I can write and with months of summer ahead of me I don't think I'll be disappointing you like I did with Winter Reminiscing.
