This is the result of being REALLY bored and wanting to write some PnF stuff before I got started on more exciting stuff...
For those watching me, I'll get to "The Same Neverending Story" when I can. For now, I gots meh priorities.
Anywho, this is my own little aftermath for Magic Carpet Ride. For those who haven't seen it, go find it on youtube or you're not gonna get any of this stuff.
Disclaimer: Are these things even needed anymore? I'm pretty sure we're clear on who owns PnF and who doesn't...
WARNING: Phinerb yaoi and mediocre writing ahead.

This was about the third time Phineas and Ferb passed along lyrics to each other. It had been mere hours since they'd returned home from their Chinese dinner, and the family had long since gone to bed. It was now 11 PM. Unlike their parents and sister, Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher were still awake, as they were far too pumped with adrenaline from their latest project of the day; their magic carpet ride. Well, it wasn't really "Magic". It was technically mechanical, and hovered, but 'Magic Carpet' was a little more commonly used than 'Hovering Carpet'. Phineas and Ferb were thrilled to see their father so happy that afternoon, but they'd enjoyed the ride just as much. Their heads were still spinning from the altitude and freedom, and they loved every bit of it.
So now, still remembering their 'magical' ride, they were passing along lyrics to a song they'd thought of earlier. They liked it. It gave them something to do since they weren't tired in the slightest.
The red-headed boy mindlessly pet their sleeping pet platypus laying by his side as he smiled up at the ceiling.
"LOVE that song."
Ferb passed him a 'I'm glad.' sort of look.
"I'm glad we thought of it." Phineas murmured proudly.
Ferb's eyebrow rose at this, as if to say, 'We?'. Phineas passed a playfully annoyed glance to his step-brother.
"...ok, I'm glad YOU thought of it, Mr. Glory-Hog." He teased.
Ferb stuck his tongue out at him. Phineas stuck his tongue out back at him in response teasingly. He always enjoyed their nightly 'conversations', even when annoyance was thrown in there. Ferb was a lot more expressive and talkative behind closed doors, but usually only to family. Mostly him. And it made him feel really special to be one of the few people Ferb would talk to more and be expressive around behind the scenes. Sometimes, even the special as in "that funny feeling you get in your...liver or something" that your dad always asks you about when giving you the ever 'enjoyable' conversation about the Birds and the Beejees. The thought always made the red-head laugh even though the thought made his stomache twist in an awkward discomfort. But even that made him laugh.
After reclaiming their tongues, they both looked back up at the ceiling. The green-haired pre-teen folded his arms behind his head, using them as a pillow dispite him already having a pillow.
"Wasn't today great, Ferb?"
Ferb nodded. Of course it was. It always was when your step-brother was a near genious and was nice enough to abuse your mechanical talents in the right way.
"It felt really nice to be that high and be out in the open at the same time. Kinda like the feeling you get when you're on a high building, minus moving and flying."
"And upchucking." Ferb muttered.
"And the upchucking." Phineas agreed with a laugh.
Sighing to themselves, they both sat in silence for a few minutes. Images of rememberance flashed through their minds like a slide show, and they enjoyed every minute of it; their father enjoying his popcorn on the couch watching Pinhead Pierre, Buford and Baljeet enjoying the view...or trying to...Isabella enjoying the view-although, Ferb knew the view she was enjoying wasn't the city, rather her dorito shaped friend-Phineas doing dare-devil tricks that almost made their father faint a few times, and of course, Ferb being "King of the World". They both loved the experience so much. Too bad when they tried it after dinner, nothing happened. They figured it had something to do with the color change...anyway, it was rather dissapointing they couldn't do it again.
...but they did have the technologies backed up. Reinstalling them would take a mere 10 minutes for them. And that's when the idea hit the little red-head.
"...you wanna do it again?" Phineas suddenly asked.
"What?...Well, I don't see why you would want to, but if it amuses you..."
Phineas' eyes widened a bit when Ferb rose his fist to punch his stomache, clearly confused by the order to words. Phineas very quickly sat up.
"Nonononono! Not that, Ferb! The carpet thing!" He franticly scrambled out before his brother could hurt himself, a very slight laugh in his tone.
Ferb's fist fell back to the bed.
"...oh...well, next time, be more specific. I could have hurt myself."
"Sorry...but that was kind of dumb to try to do." Phineas laughed nervously.
Ferb rolled his eyes without a response, his cheeks flushing a light pink in embarassment.
"Anyway, the carpet thing. Wanna do it again?"
Ferb shrugged.
"I suppose, but didn't we have something else planned for tomorrow?"
"I meant now."
Ferb's eyebrow rose at this. This was an unusual request, even for Phineas. He'd never imagined Phineas would want to sneak out because he was bored...maybe later in life when he was a rebelious teenager rebeling against Linda and Lawrence for whatever angsty teenage reason...maybe...but now?
"...now? Phineas, it's 11 o' clock at night."
"I know, but I'm bored and I can't sleep. Who knows? Maybe the excitement will tire us out."
"We could just drink warm milk."
"...I like the carpet idea better."
Ferb rolled his eyes a bit.
"Of course. Milk is too simple for you...Phineas, I'm not going to sneak out at night just because I'm BORED."
"Fine, suit yourself."
Phineas, still in his orange PJ's and socks, slipped out from under his blanket and out of his bed. Ferb quickly sat up when he saw his brother heading for the door.
"Where are you going?"
"To ask Dad if I can go for another ride. You're welcome to come with me."
Ferb sighed. Phineas still wasn't aware that half the time he went to Lawrence for anything at night, he either wasn't paying attention or he was half asleep. So he couldn't help it when he gently slipped out from under the covers and followed his pointy brother down the hall and into their parents' room, also still in yellow pajamas and socks. Both parents were turned over away from the door, their backs turned to the boys entering the room. They both often wondered how Linda managed to sleep when Lawrence had one of his snoring fits, like he was having now, without earplugs. Candace always guessed she'd simply gotten used to it.
Ferb soon found Phineas at his step-father's bedside, gently poking his back. Though Ferb momentarily thought it useless, he heard his father mumble and snort for a bit before he turned over to face Phineas, slightly startled.
"Whowhat-...oh, phineas...y-you startled me..." The Brit half yawned.
"Sorry, Dad. Me and Ferb couldn't sleep. Would it be ok if Ferb and I took the carpet for a spin to tire us out? If we're back by midnight?"
Ferb stood waiting for the no. But of course, Lawrence was never in his right of mind when he was this asleep-if he was, Ferb had the most leniant father in the universe-so he just waved his hand and turned back over.
"...o-oh, yeah, sure...just be back before sun up..." He quickly yawned, most likely thinking it was a dream...or a lack-of-sleep enduced halucination or something.
"Thanks, Dad. We will." Phineas whispered excitedly before rushing out quietly.
Ferb passed another glance to Lawrence before heading out. Even in all his extensive 11 year old wisdom and knowledge, he might never be able to figure out if he knew what was going on when he was half asleep. After that little bit of confusion, he followed his brother downstairs and down to the garage, fully prepared to discuss the sheer lupole Phineas used to get his wish. He knew he probably wouldn't ever get to that, though, knowing Phineas.
This was going to be a long night.
And now that that's over with, I'm gonna go get chapters 2 and three that are already finished. Hope you enjoyed it! R+R and let me know what you think. Peace! 0w0
