Well, I am new to all of this, so I'll simply say hello and hope that you all like what you read.

Disclaimer: I do not own Phineas and Ferb

Prologue: Video Journal

Phineas sat in his chair silently just staring at the camera. He was defeated; for the first time in his life, he did not know how he was going to solve this problem. "Why did I do it?" was the only thought that was crossing his mind.

"Hurry up Phineas," Isabella told him, " we still have to make our final preparations for the assault." Phineas sighed; if only she was his Isabella. This Isabella had been battle hardened by his alteration to the timeline.

The assault Isabella was referring to was going to be at dawn. It was going to be a last ditch effort to change the dystopian future that Phineas and Dr. Doofenshmirtz had created. "If Perry had only stopped us, none of this would be happening right now," Phineas thought to himself.

Phineas looked at the Isabella that was peering into the room with deep regret in his eyes. "Rodger that," was the only response he could muster up.

She began to walk away; he could hear her yelling commands to Squadron 46321 down the hallway. He sighed, collected his thoughts, and finally pressed record.

"This is never what I intended. All I wanted was to get Isabella back; needless to say, I failed epically. I used an overcomplicated -Inator to solve a simple problem. Candace and Ferb were right; not every problem can be solved with an invention. If only I had listened to their pleas to my reason," Phineas sighed and continued, " I should have just gotten Isabella flowers or chocolates and told her that I didn't mean it. That I would try to be less like my oblivious old self and become a better boyfriend and listener. Maybe I would have followed this logical answer if I hadn't seen Isabella kissing someone else within hours of our breakup. I thought that I had lost her forever, so I turned to the only person that would be willing to help me; my old high school Chemistry teacher, Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz. His Back-in-Time-inator seemed like an easy solution to my problem; how wrong I was," tears were beginning to well up in his eyes, but he willed himself to continue. "How was supposed to know that changing the events of our trip around the world on the Summer Solstice in 2010 would cause a chain reaction that would lead to this future? Why am I telling you all of this? Well, tomorrow we begin an assault on The Overlord that we will most likely lose. If the world's last hope fails tomorrow, I want everyone to know who is responsible," he paused and took a deep breath, "I, Phineas Flynn, am responsible for the post-apocalyptic future that you are living in now."

Phineas couldn't hold back the tears any longer. He was sobbing uncontrollably now with no signs of slowing down. He was only able to utter one more phrase before he had to stop the recording.

"How did I cause so much suffering?"

Let the rampant speculation begin!
