Chapter 1: New Summer, New Life

In the small city of Danville, Tri-State Area, lives two step-brothers, heads full of ideas. Fourteen year old Phineas Flynn-Fletcher walks through the hallway of Tristate Junior High, opens his locker, and takes out his books for the last time. As he walks toward his last class, He meets up with Baljeet, one of his friends. "Hey, Baljeet."

"Hello Phineas. Are you ready for Algebra?"

"Actually, I'm just waiting for school to be over."

"Oh. Already ready for high school?"

"No. I'm talking about summer vacation."

"Ah yes. The time of year that anything can happen."

"You got that right. Let me guess, you're going to study as you help us with our inventions."

"Yep. By the way, what are you going to invent today?"

"Well, school has given me a lot of ideas and I don't know which one to do. Maybe I'll ask our friends and see what they want."

The two friends enter their class, taking their seat just as the bell rang. Their teacher comes in and starts their last lesson before summer vacation.


In Science, Isabella Garcia-Shapiro doodles on her notebook while her teacher talks about Earth. She is wearing a white t-shirt edged with purple, purple skirt, and blue sneakers. A butterfly pin sticks in her hair, and she is wearing purple nail polish and eyeliner. She stares at the drawn picture of Phineas, her mind starting to drift in space. Her friend, Katie, with one long ponytail, sees her falling into space, and wakes her up by whispering, "Isabella!"

"Huh?"

"You were starting to phase out."

"Oh. Thanks."

"No prob'." She goes back to paying attention, but Isabella asks, "How are you and Ferb doing?"

"Oh, our relationship is going great. He says he's got a plan when school's done, but he kept it a secret."

"That's great." Isabella smiles, then it falls. "Just great."

Katie looks back, and notices her sadness. "Hey, don't worry. I'm sure Phineas will spot you sooner or later."

"I know, but no matter how much I try to show Phineas, some so obvious Buford can see it, he is still so oblivious to see it. It's like he doesn't want to have a deeper relationship."

"I'm sure he'll turn around. I don't know how or when, but he'll turn." Katie said.

The bell rings, and everyone rushes out of the classroom, ready for summer. Isabella and Katie walk down the hallway, and Katie says, "Hey, I heard that Sally tried to ask him out."

"What?" exclaimed Isabella, anger starting to boil.

"Whoa, don't worry. Phineas declined her, so I'm guessing he still likes you."

"Oh." She gasps and says, "Look, there he is."

Katie looks down the hall and sees Phineas closing his locker. She turns to her friend and sees that she is staring at him with love in her eyes. Katie smiles, walks behind her and pushes her toward him. "What are you doing?"

"Giving you the courage to talk to him. This quiet has gone too long."

"But how do you know if I'm ready?"

"I have my ways."

"But-but-" Before she can say anything else, her friend gives her a push, and she stops in front of Phineas. He looks over and says, "Hi, Isabella."

"H-hi, Phineas." Isabella said, blushing a little.

The boy looks over her shoulder and says, "Hey, Katie."

"Hey."

"By the way, Ferb told me to tell you that he's meeting you at the steps of the school."

"Thanks. I should get going. Don't wanna leave my man waiting." She walks off, leaving Isabella with the redhead. She rubs the back of her head, and asks, "So…what are you going to do when you get home?"

"I don't know. I was hoping someone would suggest something and maybe an idea will pop in my head."

The two walk down the hall and Isabella notices that Phineas seems taller. "Uh Phineas, I've been wanting to tell you something…for a while."

"What would that be?"

"Well, I just wanted to say that-" She was interrupted by Buford, walking out of the detention room. "Hey guys." He has a thin mustache, buffed up, and a chip in his tooth, the number one bully in the school.

The girl growls quietly, and Phineas says, "Hey Buford. Finally out of that detention room?"

"You know, it's not all that bad. Hey Isabella."

"Hi Buford."

Phineas asks, "So Isabella, what was it you wanted to tell me?"

"Nevermind."

"Okay." They continue walking, the boys talking about the great things they might do this summer with their friends, and Isabella thinks, So close. I was so close.


A blue fur platypus walks across the floor of his home. Suddenly, his watch beeps, and he checks it to find it flashing red. Looking around, he quickly slaps his brown fedora on his head, standing on two legs, and quickly run to a bookcase and pulls a book out of it. Like a secret entrance, the bookcase moves, revealing an elevator with yellow and black tape across it, saying danger. Perry chatters, and thinks, Come on. Can't he just keep an eye on the elevator systems? Perry runs outside, making sure no one's there. He jumps onto a patch of grass and slips into a clear tube heading deep into the earth. When the tube ends, he falls and lands comfortably on the red chair. He looks up the gigantic screen where a man with white hair and mustache, with a unibrow, waits for him. "There you are, agent P."

Perry nods, and Major Monogram continues, "Doctor Doofenshmirtz has been quiet for a week now. A little too quiet if you asked me. I need you to go see what is…not happening and…put a stop…to it. I think."

Agent P salutes and runs to his hoverjet and starts it. He flies out a jet tube, and heads for the city.


Heinz Doofenshmirtz finishes up his latest invention and says, "There. This should be a real party."

"Sir." He turns and looks at his robot companion, Norm. "what is it, Norm?"

"What exactly is the project you're working on?" the robot asked in his all too cheery voice.

"Hold on Norm. Can't you be patient? I'm waiting for-" Suddenly, his door brakes apart, and Agent P flies through the opening, taking out his grappling gun. Doofenshmirtz looks at him and says, "Perry the Platypus, Why'd you do that? I had that door the way I like it. Now pay up."

Perry drops his gun and takes out his wallet. He hands the doctor some money and he says, "That's more like it. You know, I think I liked it better when you crash through the wall. At least that is cheaper."

He hears chattering, and Heinz turns to see Perry waiting for something. "Don't worry. I'm not going to trap you."

The platypus looks at him confused, and Doofenshmirtz walks to his project. "Let me introduce you to the Summerinator. It can create a party or a relaxing day in your own home. Why are you just standing there? If you want to know, I'm taking a small break from evil. Most people do get tired getting beat up almost every single day."

The platypus looks around, then walks to the invention. He chatters, and Doofenshmirtz announces, "Now, let's get this party started." He presses a green flashing button, and the invention hums to life. A white light flies out, and envelops the whole room. Palm trees sprout from metal, a concession pops up, and people appear, music in the air. Everyone starts dancing to the music; flashing color lights from nowhere circle around, and Perry slaps some sunglasses on.

"Oh, yeah!" yelled Heinz.


Isabella grabs a pamphlet from a stand, and looks at it. She smiles, runs to Phineas, and says, "Phineas. You know about the dance tonight, right?"

"Yes."

"Well, I was wondering if you were going."

"Uhh, well-" He sees his brother waving him to come, and says, "Could you excuse me?" He runs to Ferb, and asks, "What is it, bro?"

Ferb, who over the years has grown more social, talking more often, says, "You should go to that dance."

"But what if I don't want to? I thought we were going to build something today."

"Phineas, you should go. I think Isabella would really appreciate it if you do."

"Are you saying this because you're going?"

"Of course I'm going. I think it'll be fun, especially with Katie. That was my surprise to her."

"But why should I go?"

"I think you will find something about Isabella that you never knew."

"And you do?"

"Bro, just go, okay?" He walks away, and Phineas heads back to a waiting Isabella. He finds her talking to Katie, and sees her walk away in the direction Ferb went. The boy stops by Isabella, and says, "So, about that dance, did you want to go?"

Brightening a little, she says, "Well, only if you're going."

"Okay then…I guess I'll meet you at the entrance."

"Okay. See ya then." She walks away, and when Phineas she's her vanish, he walks back and takes out the same pamphlet. Walking down the sidewalk to his house, he checks the time and theme of the dance , and accidentally runs into Adyson. She drops her stuff, and Phineas says, "I'm sorry about that."

"That's okay, Phineas. I'm just lucky none of this stuff was fragile." After she grabs her last book, she asks, "So, what project are you going to do today?"

"No project today. I'm going to the dance tonight."

"Wow. I never thought I would hear Phineas say that." Adyson said with a smile.

"Stop that. My brother suggests I should go with Isabella."

"Really? Well, I hope you have fun at the dance." She walks away, smiling as she thinks, So oblivious.

Phineas watches her go, and asks himself, "What is with her?" He resumes his travel, walking through his neighborhood. When he gets home, he finds the house dark, and a note with his mom's handwriting.

Dear Phineas and Ferb

Your father and I are at a convention. We'll be home later.

From Mom

The redhead rips the letter and throws it away. Looking at the rooms again, he finds it strange and unfamiliar. He hears a knock, and opens it to find Irving. "Hey Irving."

"Hi Phineas. How was your day?"

"It was great. I see that you cooled off from your fanboy craziness."

"Yeah well, teen years bring new experience. And when I reviewed my past, I see that I was crazy back then. May I come in?"

"Sure. If you're hungry, there's food in the kitchen." Phineas moves out of the way and Irving comes in. He looks around, and says, "Wow. This place is quiet."

"Yeah. Ever since Candace left for college, it has been a little too quiet. Every day, when I build something, I always expect my sister to come out and try to bust us, but…I'll admit, I miss it. It's just lonely here."

"Yeah, where did the days go?" The nerd looks at Phineas's hand, and sees a book. "What's that?"

The redhead looks raises his hand and sees the title, 'Vampires and how to detect them'. "Oops. I guess I forgot to give Adyson her book back. And it looks like she's interested in the bloodsuckers."

"Vampires?"

"Yeah. I better get this back to her." Phineas walks back out as Irving heads into the backyard. "Ahh, such great memories." A shadow appears from behind the tree, and Irving freezes. When it vanishes, the nerd takes out his gun he created himself, and slowly walks to the tree. He leans against the bright side of the tree, breathing hard, then, after taking a calming breath, swiftly turns to the other side and points his gun at…empty air.

"What?" Irving looks around; keeping his gun pointed ahead, but still doesn't find anyone. After putting the gun away, he says, "I must be seeing things." He walks to the familiar fence and door and opens it, but quickly turns around, checking one last time. Finding it still clear, he sighs and walks off to find his friend.

In the branch of the large tree sits a figure, watching the nerd go. She has paper white skin and blood red eyes, and is wearing a black skirt with jeans underneath, along with a black shirt with a skull on it. On top of the shirt is a black jacket, and on top of her blonde hair is a large hat that covers most of her face. She takes out a piece of paper in her pocket full of pictures, and checks all of them. "Let's see, he doesn't seem to be the One, so he must be…Irving Lene Hallow. A nerd friend that was a fanatic to the One and his brother. I wonder if he can tell me where the One is." The girl hops off the bough and softly lands on the grass. She slowly moves her exposed hand into the sunlight, and immediately her hand starts burning. She quickly takes it out of the sun, rubbing it. When her hand stops burning, the girl takes out some gloves from her pocket and puts them on, then her sunglasses. She walks into the light and heads out of the yard, to the nerd.

Irving stops his walking, realizing he doesn't know where Adyson's house is. He thinks of all the houses he does know, and was about to walk the nearest one when someone behind him says, "Uh sir?"

Irving turns around and sees a beautiful girl standing in front of him. "Uh…"

"I was wondering if you could help me with something."

"Uh buh da huh..." he stuttered.

"Are you okay?"

"Uh yeah. I'm fine." he said after calming himself.

"Uh, okay. Do you know where your friend is right now?"

Irving calms down before talking, then says, "Which one? I have a couple miss…"

"Maria. And I'm looking for Phineas Flynn."

"Oh. Well, he went to return something but will come back in a short while."

"Okay, thanks." Maria walks down the street, leaving Irving behind. After a while, he makes up his mind and calls, "Maria, I-" but stops when he sees empty road. "Where'd she go?"


The redhead knocks on the door of his friend's house, and Adyson answers it. "Phineas?"

"Hey Adyson. I forgot to give you your book back." Phineas hands her the book.

"Thanks. I was wondering where this went." She puts the book on the desk and asks, "Why don't you come in?"

Someone calls from the kitchen, "Adyson, who's that at the door?"

"Just a friend, Mom!" after closing the door, she asks, "Can you help me with something?"

"Sure." They head upstairs and Adyson opens the door to her room, and Phineas first sees posters all over the place. Everywhere he turns, a vampire stares at him, as well as some movie posters. "Uh, why exactly are you interested in vampires? By a lot?"

"Uh, let's just say that my life had a little run in with one. So, who're going to the dance with?"

"Isabella."

"Ohh. Well, do you want my opinion for the dance?"

"What would that be?" Phineas asked.

Adyson puts on an orange and yellow sweatshirt and asks, "Does this look good on me?"

"Yeah. It really brings out the-wait. What are you dressing up for?"

"The school's DJ just cancelled on them so they're paying anyone with the skill. So, I told them I'll do it, and I'll get a hundred bucks when the dance is over."

"I didn't know you can play DJ."

"Yeah. I've been practicing so I can get my DJ patch. Should I go with a beret or this trucker hat?"

"Go with the trucker hat, and can we get back to your opinion?"

"Oh, yeah. You do you know how to dance, right?"

"Of course. Some of your patches had dancing in it."

"What about slow dancing?"

This catches Phineas by surprise, and he stutters, "Well, Uh…I do know some, uh, moves."

"Great, because at the end, that's what I'm playing. Isabella will love that."

"Why?"

"Well, Isabella has an interest in soft music. She thinks it brings out the true feelings of everyone."

"Okay. Anything else?"

"Halfway through the song, take Isabella out into the night and tell her how you feel."

"What do you mean by that?"

Smiling, she says, "I mean tell her your true feelings about her."

"My true feelings about Isabella? Izzy and I are friends."

Adyson laughs, shocking Phineas. "Really? Just friends? Phin, unlike some, I see the look you get when Isabella is around. Especially when alone."

Phineas doesn't say anything, and the DJ continues, "Just trust me, okay?"

"Alright. I'll give it a shot."

"Great." She looks at her mirror and examines the jacket. "You know, I'll just stick with the hat."

"I better get back home and get ready for the dance." He walks toward the door, saying, "See ya later."

"Later Phin."

After exiting the house, he checks the time and walks back home, enjoying the summer-like weather. When he was about to unlock his door, Phineas spots something on the ground in the yard. Curiosity growing, the redhead walks to the light and picks up the object. In his hand is a rock smoothed out to shape a triangle, or a fang, red, and about the size of his hand. "What this doing here?"

He pockets the gem and heads inside his house, walking to his room.


Outside Danville is a large mountain with one cave. The cave might look ordinary, but if someone walks inside, they would find detailed carvings, and deeper in the cave, columns stand out with bats at the top, their wings touching. A light grows as you walk deeper, and the cave opens up to reveal a town made of rock. Pale beings walk through the streets, bright eyes of red full of joy. On the far side is a grand palace with stone bats on columns watching the entrance. Inside, a man sits on a large throne the top forming into a bat. The man, like everyone else, is pale with sleek black hair in a ponytail, large fangs, and golden eyes, unlike the rest. He is wearing a black shirt and jeans, with a trench coat on top of it. He stares ahead of him, not moving a muscle, except for his breathing. A man walks in, bows, and says, "Your highness, the scout has returned."

"Bring him in." he said, voice as soft as silk.

The herald nods his head and exits. Soon, the scout enters, a man of early twenties with blonde hair, and stops in the middle of the room. "Your Highness."

"Allen. What news do you bring?"

"I went to the nearby city just like you ordered, and after a whole day searching, I finally found the key."

"Good. Now where is it?"

"Well, your highness, I don't have it with me."

"Why is that?" The man said, his voice dangerously calm.

"Because a boy got it before me."

"Well, why didn't you just get it back? He is a puny, weak boy ."

"Yes, I know, your highness. But when I got near, I sensed something strange."

"Strange?"

"By strange I mean familiarity. The aura strengthened when the boy picked up the key. I don't mean to offend you, but I think he might be the…One in the prophesy."

The king raises an eyebrow, then gets up. He walks down the steps, and stops in front of Allen, who is still bowing. "Rise."

He does, and the king says, "The One."

"Yes, the One."

"Out of curiosity, what does this boy look like?"

"He looks like all the other humans, with I would have to say cherry red hair, tan from I guess working out in the sun a lot, and his eyes are green. And he looks about fourteen."

"So, a fourteen year old boy might be the One. And he has found the Key. Allen, I have a new assignment for you."

"What is it, your highness?"

"I want you to keep an eye on the boy. I want you to watch his every movement, his every surrounding, and everyone he comes in contact with. Leave nothing behind. If he shows any sign that he is becoming the one, report to me immediately."

"Yes, your highness." Allen said, and he speeds through the palace and the town with his vampire speed. The king walks to his study in the palace, and looks out to the town. "The prophesy is coming true. But it will not be complete. I will have the One on my side, and if not, he shall fear the name of Count Dracula."
