"Hey Ferb, whaddaya wanna do today?"
Ferb was startled- first, because he had been completely absorbed in his book when Phineas had posed this question, and second, because he very rarely had too much say in the daily projects. Phineas was the idea guy. Ferb was the engineer. It was just how things worked. But apparently, after two years, his brother was experiencing a lapse of imagination. The first two summers, they had been up to their ears in extra blueprints that they made up in their spare time, so they had continued during the school year- Winter Break, Spring Break, weekends, holidays snow days- now, they had exhausted their pre-planned projects before July, and had simply decided to "wing it" this year.
The green-haired boy contemplated this for a moment; there were several things from science fiction movies he would like to try a hand at...
He flipped through the pages of his novel, stopping at and pointing to a picture of a hovercar.
Phineas seemed intrigued by this, probably because he wasn't much of a sci-fi buff as his brother. He definately wouldn't have thought of that.
"Ferb, I know what we're going to do today!"
As per usual, Candace was freaking out over some minuscule detail or another- today it was whether her hair was "Too orange-ish" or "Too red-ish" for Jeremy's liking. The fact that they had been going steady for six and a half months didn't seem to curb her anxiety that he would "stop liking her" for whatever minimal reason- at least, until she caught a glimpse out the window of a launch pad,a red station wagon with steel-reinforced wings-
Candace was out the door before her mother's number was completely dialed.
Candace didn't particularly like manhandling her mother-but at times it was a necessary evil. Like now. Now was DEFINITELY necessary. The boys were just BEGGING to be busted-souping up the FAMILY CAR to make it FLY? That was out of the question. So here she was dragging the woman who birthed her down the sidewalk on their street, up to the gate, and into the backyard.
She knew already that it would be gone. It didn't stop her from trying, of course, but somewhere in her 'heart of hearts' she knew that she would never hear the sweet sound of her mother saying-
"I SEE it!"
The teenager snapped out of her reverie at the sound of her mother's voice, answering everything she had been praying for for the past two years-could this be real? Could the boys actually be BUSTED?
"Hard left, hard left!"
The red station wagon barely grazed several rooftops.
"You call that left?"
Finally, after the two boys made it back to the launch pad in peace (much to Ferb's relief-if Phineas had been harmed on his watch, especially when he had suggested the project, he never would've forgiven himself) the boys were enjoying a toast of lemonade to a job well done, when-
"PHINEAS DANIEL FLYNN AND FERBIAN ANDREW FLETCHER, GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!"
The brothers glanced at each other nervously-everyone knew that when Mom dragged out the full name, you were pretty much doomed. But they came down anyway- really, where else could they go?-and stood at attention as Mom grilled them about dishonesty, dangerous situations, the whole shebang.
Ferb could only hope it wouldn't end too badly for them. Because if Phineas got hurt, he would've broken a very important promise.
SunsetofDoom here, back from the grave! Haha. Yes, people, I know it's short. This is kind of a teaser chapter, to attempt to get people to actually read it. HAHA IT WORKED. Unless you're not reading this. But then who am I talking to? Wait, what? AHHHH MY BRAIN.
So, this fic will be a bit dramatic, painful, and hopefully heart-wrenching. Apparently when I outlined it for my friend, she wanted to cry. So if you want to read a happy, cutesy, puppies-and-kittens fic, IT'S NOT THIS ONE. DO NOT PASS GO. DO NOT COLLECT $200.
On to business. I do not own the characters of Phineas and Ferb, and I have no affiliations to Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh
This ginormous, pain-in-the-ass fic is dedicated to my friend Brianna, who idea-bounced with me, helped me overcome my uncertainty, and gave me the name of my villain. Bri, hun, this one's for you! :)
Second chapter is in the works.
