16-year-old Phineas Flynn watched as his 16-year-old stepbrother Ferb Fletcher put a crème color button up shirt on and he arched a brow, "Going somewhere fancy?" Ferb sighed and rolled his eyes as he shook his head, "What's going on, dude? You, mom, dad and Candace have…"
"If you must know, I'm taking Isabella out for dinner," Phineas' eyes widened, "You know, the girl who used to come by every day to see what you were doing and then dropped a letter off three years ago, and you haven't opened it yet." Phineas frowned as he looked at his dresser and spotted the unopened envelope, "I went to her a few days later and talked to her. We've been dating ever since," he then turned and looked at his stepbrother, "And just so you know, the reason we are all laughing at you is because you're as blind as our grandfather when it came to Isabella." Phineas frowned as Ferb walked out of the room and slammed the door behind him.
Phineas stood up and walked over to his dresser and picked up the envelope. Opening it, he began reading the letter, "Phineas, it pains me…no, it doesn't. I've been in love with you since we were eight and you constantly ignored me. I am sick of being ignored! If you think your stupid inventions are more important than I am then you can have them! I will never come over ever again! Goodbye, Isabella Garcia-Shapiro," he sighed and shook his head as he put the letter down on the dresser and he heard his parents, sister and Ferb all in the living room laughing. His eyes narrowed as he put his shoes and jacket on and walked out of the room.
Phineas walked down the street as the cold winter air blew, "Assholes…that's what they all are, just a bunch of assholes."
"Phineas," he stopped and looked back to see the 16-year-old Katie Parker walking up to him, "Are you okay?" Phineas frowned and nodded, "No, you're not." He looked at her in confusion and Katie sighed, "You've been like this for…well for a few years and me and my parents hear what Candace, Ferb and your parents do…how they laugh at you and tease you because of Isabella and how everyone else isn't talking to you."
"So why are you talking to me?" Katie frowned, "I thought you Fireside Girls always stuck together."
"We usually do," Katie sighed and shook her head, "But a short while after Isabella gave you that letter, I said something at one of our meetings. How we can't avoid you and treat you like that and well…apparently, the girls forgot the all for one and one for all rule. I was kicked out of the Fireside Girls that day." Phineas frowned and Katie slightly smiled, "But hey, I was just about to head home for dinner. Why don't you join me? It might be fun and you'll be able to get away from your family for a while."
Phineas smiled and nodded, "Yeah sure, but are you sure your parents won't mind?" Katie smiled and shook her head as she and Phineas started walking down the street.
The two walked through the front door and Katie's parents looked up and smiled and her mother said, "Katie, you brought a guest," she looked at Phineas and smiled, "How are you doing Phineas?"
"I'm fine Mrs. Parker, thank you for asking," Katie's parents looked at him and he sighed, "Really, I'm fine,"
"If you say so, son," Katie's father sighed, "I suppose you'll be staying for dinner?"
"Uh…if it isn't too much trouble."
"Of course not, honey," Katie's mother smiled, "Come in, dinner will be ready shortly." Phineas nodded and he and Katie sat down.
After eating and helping clean up, Phineas walked out of the house and Katie followed him. The two teenagers stood on the front steps, "Are you going to be okay?" Phineas half smiled and nodded, "Are you sure? I could ask my parents if you could stay for the night."
"I'll be fine, Katie, really," Katie sighed and nodded, "See you in school tomorrow?"
"Yeah," she hugged him and Phineas' eyes widened, "Just try your best to ignore your family okay?"
Phineas sighed and hugged her back, "Okay, I'll try," the two separated and Katie walked back inside while Phineas walked away from the house.
Katie looked out the window and watched as Phineas walked down the street and she sighed, "Why didn't you invite him to stay for the night?" she looked back at her parents in confusion, "We wouldn't have minded if he stayed for the night. You know his family is just going to harass the poor boy when he gets home."
Katie frowned and sighed, "I know mom, but Phineas is too prideful to ask to spend the night. You heard him, he was afraid of causing trouble when we invited him for dinner." She sighed again and started walking towards the stairs, "I'm going to get ready for bed." Without waiting for a response, Katie started to walk up the stairs.
Phineas walked through the door and his parents, Ferb and Candace looked up, "Hey loser," Candace laughed and Phineas rolled his eyes, "Where were you? Oh wait, crying like a baby because you lost Isabella."
His family started laughing at him and he growled, "I was having dinner at a friend's house, you dumb fuck!" everyone looked at him in shock and gasped, "Now if you want to try and make me feel lower than dirt then I say bring it."
Lawrence stood up and walked over to his stepson, "Now see here Phineas, we don't use that type of…"
Phineas grabbed him by the arm and flipped him and put him in a headlock, shocking the family again, "Fair warning you piece of shit. Ever since Isabella stopped coming here, I took up martial arts and I'm a black belt in five different styles of martial arts!" he let him go and he looked at everyone with narrowed eyes, "So if you assholes want to fuck with me I'm warning you that you'll either end up in a hospital or at the morgue!" he glared at Ferb with an icy cold stare in his eyes, "You're probably going to want to sleep down here tonight. I can't promise you'll wake up in the morning if you come to the room," without waiting for his family to say something to him, he walked towards the stairs and ran up them.
Phineas sat on his bed and tried to calm himself down. He sighed and fell back onto his bed and dug his phone out of his pocket. He sighed again and began writing a message. Hitting the send button, he stared at his phone for a few minutes before it vibrated and he read the message, "Why? Did something happen when you got home? Katie," he half smiled and rolled his eyes, "You don't have to put your name, I know it's you and yes. My family started with me as soon as I got in."
He hit the send button and waited for a few minutes. The phone vibrated and he looked at the message, "Yeah, I guess you're right. Yeah, my parents said sure, but you better hurry before they go to bed." He lightly smiled and wrote back, "Okay, thanks. I'll be there in a few minutes," he shoved his phone his pocket, stood up and grabbed his backpack. Shoving some clothes into his backpack, he opened the window and jumped down and began walking down the street.
Katie opened the door and saw Phineas standing on the other end, "Hey, thanks for letting me stay for the night."
"Don't mention it," Katie softly smiled and stepped aside, "You might want to come in before my mom sees you standing out in the cold and yells at you." Phineas nodded and walked inside and Katie closed the door before she started walking towards the stairs, "C'mon, I'll show you to the guest room." Phineas nodded and followed Katie up the stairs.
The two walked into the guest room and Phineas looked around, "Sorry it isn't much, but it does get you away from your family for the night."
"Yeah, thanks Katie,"
Katie smiled and nodded before hugging him and Phineas' eyes widened, "Don't worry about your family. You only have two more years and you'll be far away from them."
Phineas sighed and hugged her back, "Yeah, you're right,"
Katie separated from the hug and swiftly kissed Phineas' cheek before turning around and walked out of the room. Phineas half smiled and closed the door and kicked his shoes off before he changed into his night clothes and got in bed and fell asleep.
Katie and Phineas walked down the street towards the school as snow lightly fell from the sky. Phineas looked at Katie and half smiled, "Thanks again for letting me stay last night,"
"Don't mention it, Phineas," Katie half smiled, "I wouldn't let you stay in a place where everyone hated you and my parents wanted me to ask you to stay last night after dinner." Phineas nodded and they continued to walk down the street.
The two walked down the hall of the school to their lockers. While opening their lockers, Buford Van Stomm and Baljeet Tjinder walked up behind him and Buford grabbed Phineas by the shirt, "Hey dinner bell, do you really think you can threaten people and get away with it?"
Phineas narrowed his eyes and Katie looked confused, "Phineas what is he talking about?"
"He assaulted his father for no reason last night," Baljeet crossed his arms and Katie looked at Phineas in shock.
Phineas sighed and shook his head, "Yeah, I've been studying marital arts after Isabella stopped coming over and I'm a black belt in five different styles of marital arts. I was just defending myself," he looked at Katie and frowned, "I know you hate violence and…"
"Let him go," Katie glared a Buford and narrowed her eyes, "Let him go Buford, or I swear you'll be sorry."
Buford laughed and glared at Phineas, "What? Your little girly friend is trying to…"
Phineas grabbed him by the wrist, twisted it and flipped him on the floor and kicked his side. Buford groaned in pain and Phineas shook his head, "Just stay down. It'll only be worse if you try to stand." He looked up at Baljeet with narrowed eyes, "You want some too Tjinder?" Baljeet held his hands up and he slowly backed away, "Let the others know what you saw." Baljeet nodded, turned and quickly walked away from them, "Fucker,"
He turned and put his books in his locker and closed it, "Are you okay?" Phineas looked at her in confusion, "You just beat up Buford and you're acting like it was nothing."
"Yeah, I wasn't going to be pushed around," he sighed and shook his head, "I know you hate violence and I'm sorry I had to do that with you here, but…"
"It's fine, Phineas," Katie slightly smiled, "You were just defending yourself, nothing wrong with that." Phineas sighed and nodded before the two of them walked away from an injured Buford.
Phineas sat at his desk and scribbled in his notebook when he felt someone tap him on his shoulder. He looked up and saw Katie sitting next to him with a small smile, "Need a partner?"
"Yeah, sure," Phineas smiled and Katie scooted closer to him and the two of them focused on their work.
Katie and Phineas sat at a table in the cafeteria and ate their lunch and laughed with one another, "Hey Katie," they stopped and looked up and saw Isabella and the other Fireside Girls standing in front of them, "What are you doing with this idiot? He beat up his father last night and he beat up Buford earlier." Katie narrowed her eyes and Isabella rolled her eyes, "Just come sit with your friends. He isn't worth the…"
"Shut up," Katie warned and the girls looked shocked, "He didn't do anything but defend himself! And you guys aren't my friends, you kicked me out of the Fireside Girls when I said something about Phineas!"
She started panted and Phineas half smiled and rubbed her back, "Calm down, Katie. We don't want to cause a scene." Katie took a few deep breaths, "Better?"
Katie sighed and half smiled, "Better, thanks."
"Whatever," they heard Adyson Sweetwater scuff, "Just don't come crawling back to us when he hurts you," they looked up and saw the six of them walk away from the table.
Katie sighed and shook her head, "Idiots," she looked over at Phineas and saw a frown on his face, "Hey," he looked up in confusion and Katie half smiled, "Don't listen to them. I know you won't hurt me on purpose," Phineas frowned and nodded, "Now c'mon, we need to finish eating lunch because I have gym next,"
"Yeah, and I have history," the two teenagers continued to eat and talk to one another.
School had ended for the day and the students walked away from the educational building and went their separate ways. Katie and Phineas walked down the street as a cool wind blew past them. Phineas took his scarf off and put it on Katie. The blonde faintly smiled and shook her head, "You know my mom's going to yell at me for having this, right?"
"Nah, I'll come inside with you and just let her know I didn't want you getting cold," Katie smiled and rolled her eyes.
The two teenagers walked through the front door of the Parker house and saw that Katie's parents weren't home. Katie looked at Phineas and handed him his scarf, "Thanks," Phineas smiled and nodded before wrapping the scarf around his neck, "Uh…if you want, you can stay here until my parents get home. You know your family is going to give you a hard time when you walk through the door,"
"I know, but I'll be fine," Phineas assured with a smile before hugging her. Katie's green eyes widened, "Thanks for the offer though,"
Katie sighed and half smiled before hugging him back, "No problem Phineas, just know the offer is always opened if your family gives you a hard time," Phineas nodded, broke from the hug and walked out of the house. Katie smiled and shook her head, "See you soon Phineas."
Phineas walked through the front door and saw his parents, Candace and Ferb staring at him. Linda stood up and glared at her son, "Why would you attack that poor boy in…"
"I was defending myself," Phineas narrowed his eyes, "You know, something you fucking morons haven't been doing for the past three fucking years. I never knew Isabella liked and at this point, I don't give a damn. The only people who have been nice to me are Katie and her parents. So the rest of you fucking morons can jump off a bridge and die!" Ferb and Lawrence jumped up and star running towards, only to be cut short when Phineas punched them across the jaw, "I thought I warned you morons I'm a black belt in five different styles of martial arts,"
"Phineas," Linda took a deep breath and Phineas looked at her, "I'm sorry, but if you're going to resort to violence like this…you can't live here anymore." Phineas' eyes widened as Ferb and Lawrence stood up and rubbed their jaws, "I'm sorry, but if you're going to lash out like this, it's best if you just pack your bags and leave."
"But I'm only sixteen and…"
"That's not our problem, Phineas," Linda narrowed her eyes, "Go pack your belongings and then get out."
"But it's the middle of winter and we've got that bad snowstorm heading this way and…"
"Again, not our problem, now this is your last chance. Go pack your belongings and get the hell out of here," Phineas sighed, shook his head and walked out the house, slamming the door behind him.
Phineas sat under a bridge and shivered as the cold wind blew and snow began to fall. He rubbed his chest as his teeth clattered, "Fucking bastards…just for defending myself." The wind began to howl and Phineas shivered again, "Well…it looks like I'm going to freeze to death and no one is going to give a fuck about me and…"
"Phineas," He looked up and saw Katie and her parents walking over to him, "Phineas, what are you doing out in this storm? You're going to freeze to death,"
"P…P…parents thre…threw me out," Katie's eyes widened and her parents looked angered, "Th…they sa…said if I…use v…v…violence then…then I ha…ha…have to leave,"
"Phineas…honey, why don't you come home with us, it's going to be twelve below tonight and you don't look like you're prepared for that," Katie's mother offered, "C'mon honey, the car is right across the street," Phineas nodded and stood up before the four of them walked across the street.
Phineas sat on the bed in the guest room with his forearms resting on his lap, his head down and his shoulders slumped over. Hearing the door open, he looked up and saw Katie walking into the room, "Hey," Phineas smiled and waved, "How are you feeling?"
"A bit better, thanks," Katie half smiled and nodded before sitting next to him, "And uh…thanks for um…getting me out of this storm,"
"No problem, Phineas," Katie smiled and stood up, "C'mon, my parents are sleeping and there's a horror movie marathon and I want to watch it," Phineas half smiled and nodded before standing up and the two of them walked out of the room and down the stairs to the living room.
The two teenagers sat on the couch in the living room with the glow of the TV screen being the only source of light in the room while the screams of terror from the horror movie that was currently playing filled the room. Katie leaned up against Phineas and Phineas wrapped his arm around her as the two teenagers continued to watch the movie while the wind howled outside and the snow continued to fall from the sky.
Katie's parents walked down to the living room the following morning and saw the two teenagers on the couch sleeping with their daughter sleeping on top of Phineas and Phineas had an arm wrapped around her. The two walked down the rest of the stairs and Katie's mother walked over to the sleeping teens and threw a blanket over them and the two adults walked into the kitchen.
Phineas moaned and opened his eyes to see Katie sleeping on top of him and his eyes widened, "Oh crap…I hope Mr. and Mrs. Parker didn't see this and throw me out because…"
"We wouldn't dream of throwing you out in the middle of winter, Phineas," he looked up and saw Katie's parents walking out of the kitchen, "Not only will that be wrong, but Katie will resent us,"
"Oh…so uh…are you guys mad that me and Katie slept down here last night?"
"Not at all," Katie's father chuckled and shook his head, "And you shouldn't feel worried about this,"
"Yeah, thanks,"
"Also, you're stuck there until Katie wakes up," Phineas' eyes widened and Katie's mother chuckled, "Yes, Katie is not easy to get up, and since the schools are closed because of the snow, we see no reason to wake her up." Before Phineas could argue, Katie's parents turned around and walked away from the two teenagers.
Phineas sighed and looked down at the sleeping blonde on his chest and he wrapped an arm around her and rubbed her back, "Guess I can't complain, it is a snow day after all," he yawned and slowly fell back asleep.
Katie looked out the window and watched as Phineas shoveled snow from the steps and walkway. She sighed and heard her mother say, "It's good to see your friend is helping around the house," Katie frowned and nodded and her mother walked up to her and looked at her in confusion, "What's wrong Katie?"
"I'm mad at Phineas' family for throwing him out in the middle of winter like that,"
"I know sweetie, your father and I aren't happy about it either," they looked out the window and saw Phineas walking up to the house, shovel in hand.
Katie moved away from the window and walked up to the door and set the shovel aside before picking up the back of rock salt, "Phineas why don't you stay inside for a few minutes to warm up?"
"I will after I lay some salt down," Phineas smirked, "If I wait, it'll be that much harder. So I figured I can take care of it now," Katie sighed and nodded before Phineas turned and walked out of the house again.
Katie and Phineas walked down the freshly shoveled sidewalk as the cool air blew past them. Phineas looked at Katie and saw her shivering slightly. He half smiled and took his jacket off and wrapped it around her, "Phineas, are you trying to get sick or get me in trouble?"
"What? I wouldn't feel right if you're cold," Katie half smiled and rolled her eyes, "Anyway, I want to thank you again," Katie looked confused and Phineas sighed, "You and your parents saved me last night when you didn't have to and…"
"Stop right there Phineas, it wouldn't be right if we left you out in the cold like that and you know you could've come to the house instead of sitting in the middle of the storm like that." Katie frowned and laid her head on Phineas' shoulder and Phineas wrapped an arm around her shoulders, "I know you don't like to be a bother or anything, but you were more than welcome to come back to the house last night."
Phineas half smiled and lightly kissed the side of her head, "Yeah, I know Katie,"
Katie smiled and nuzzled closer to Phineas, "Good," Phineas lightly rubbed Katie's back as the wind began howling, "We uh…we better get home before my mom decides to ground us," Phineas nodded in agreement and the two of them turned around and walked down the street.
Katie and Phineas walked through the front door and Katie's parents looked up from the couch, "Katie, why are you wearing Phineas' coat?" her mother asked and arched a brow.
"It's my fault Mrs. Parker," Phineas sighed, "I saw Katie was cold so I gave her my jacket. I wouldn't have felt right if I left her freezing like that," Katie's parents looked at them and Phineas frowned and sighed, "I uh…I'll just get my coat and um…be out of your hair."
He was about to take his jacket from Katie when they heard Katie's mother sigh, "Phineas, it's good to see you care for Katie, but she has her own coat and you shouldn't let yourself get sick over nothing," Phineas nodded, "Good, now you two better stay in, another snowstorm is coming,"
"Oh come on, I just shoveled and…"
"Calm down, Phineas," Katie smiled and lightly rubbed Phineas' back, "Me and my parents appreciate you doing that, but no one can control the weather," Phineas sighed and nodded before the two teenagers sat down.
Phineas stared out the window of the guest room as he leaned against the wall and crossed his arms. He sighed and he heard the door open, "Hey Phineas," he looked back and saw Katie walking into the room, "What'cha doing," Phineas gave a small smile and waved and Katie slightly frowned, "Sorry, I didn't mean it,"
"I know Katie, it's just…I haven't heard that for three years," Katie nodded and walked up to him and the two teenagers stared out the window as the snow began to fall, "Am I wrong?" he looked at Katie and saw the confused look on her face, "For not noticing Isabella's feelings and everything?"
"Well do you feel wrong?" Phineas frowned and shook his head, "Good, because you're not. You were just…a little oblivious, that's all," Phineas gave a small smile and Katie shook her head, "It isn't your fault Phineas, instead of dropping hints, Isabella should've just told you and not make you out to be the bad guy."
"Yeah, you're right," Phineas sighed and sat on the bed and Katie sat down next to him, "I guess we're going to have a four-day weekend,"
"And you say that like it's a bad thing," Katie softly smiled and Phineas smirked, "Don't worry Phineas, we all need a little vacation away from school."
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Phineas sighed and shook his head, "Anyway, are we going to have another movie marathon?"
"Duh," Katie smirked and stood up, "It's not every week we have a four-day weekend." Phineas rolled his and stood up and the two teenagers walked out of the room and down the stairs.
Katie and Phineas sat on the couch, watching TV when Katie yawned and leaned up against Phineas, forcing him to lay down with her on top of him. Phineas looked down in confusion, "Uh…Katie, I don't think your parents will appreciate if we sleep down here again,"
Katie smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry Phineas, my parents won't mind," she nuzzled closer to him, "Besides, I'm just getting a little comfortable," Phineas sighed and shook his head before wrapping an arm around her and the two of them continued to watch TV.
Katie's parents walked down the stairs and saw the two teenagers sleeping on the couch. Katie's father sighed and shook his head, "Are they going to make a habit out of this?"
"Oh hush," Katie's smiled and rolled her eyes, "You know that Katie has had a crush on Phineas since they were three, and that spoiled brat Isabella and her mother moved into the neighborhood and she practically bullied poor Katie to stay away from Phineas," she walked over to the two teenagers and draped a blanket over them before the two adults walked into the kitchen.
The two teenagers moaned as they opened their eyes. Katie looked up and slightly smiled and nuzzled closer to Phineas, "I told you that my parents wouldn't mind,"
"Yeah, you did," Katie scooted closer to Phineas and Phineas arched a brow, "Are you okay?"
"What? I can't get a little more comfortable?"
Phineas sighed and nodded, "Don't you two look comfortable, like a couple of young lovers," they looked up and saw Katie's mother walking into the living room and Katie's eyes widened and her cheeks began to turn a bright pink, "Oh relax Katie, I didn't say anything about you having a crush on him since you were three,"
"Mom,"
"Whoops, I guess I did," Katie's mother laughed before turning around and walked back into the kitchen.
Phineas looked at Katie and frowned, "So…you had a crush on me too?" he sighed and shook his head, "Damnit Katie, I'm sorry, I guess I am the bad…"
"Phineas, stop, you had no idea about my crush," Katie sighed and nuzzled closer to him, "When I was ready to tell you, Isabella moved into the neighborhood and she bullied me to stay away from you. I joined the Fireside Girls when I learned they would be helping you and Ferb with your projects, but after every day and meeting, she'd bully me some more,"
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Katie frowned and Phineas rubbed her back, "If my best friend was being bullied, I'd like to know and…"
"I was afraid, okay?" Phineas looked confused and Katie sighed, "I thought you had feelings for Isabella and that you'll take her side over mine and it'll ruin our friendship and…"
"But I don't have any feelings for her outside of a former friendship," Katie looked up in disbelief and Phineas sighed, "No, I didn't. I was actually working on those projects to impress this one girl. She's been my best friend since we were in diapers and when she stopped hanging out with me, I got upset,"
"So…you had a crush on me too?" Phineas slightly smirked and nodded, "So what do we do about that?" Phineas cupped his hand on Katie's cheek and the two teenagers inched closer to each other.
Their lips touched and Katie wrapped her arms around Phineas' neck. The two soon separated and a light pink hue crossed Katie's cheeks, "So…what does this mean?"
"Well…we could try dating," Phineas suggested and rubbed the back of his head, "I mean…" before he could finish, Katie wrapped her arms around Phineas' neck and pressed her lips again.
Katie separated from Phineas and slightly smiled, "You talk too much, Phineas," Phineas chuckled and Katie nuzzled closer to him, "I guess we can date, it might be nice,"
This is something I'm going to be working on. I don't know where I'm going with it, but for those who are wondering, Katie and Phineas are my favorite characters so apologies in advance to anyone who likes anyone who will be bashed in this story. Enjoy everyone.
