Disclaimer: I do not own Phineas and Ferb

Ferb's POV

"Phineas! Hold on!" I screeched to my younger step brother as he was tossed and rolled in the powerful churning river below.

I hurried after my brother along the bank of the river as Phineas fought for his life in the raging rushing water. I can't let him die! I thought desperately as I chased after him.

"Phineas! Just swim! Try to get back to shore!" I glanced around and saw the grey shape of a cat running at my side, keeping pace with me. I had almost forgotten Lily had tagged along. Even though I could hardly stand her these days, I was too worried about Phineas to tell her to leave. Besides, Phineas needed all the help he could get right about now.

"We've got to swim Lily." I told the cat preparing to jump in.

"Are you crazy?" Lily hissed at me. "You could get yourself killed! I am not letting you jump Ferb! We just got to get ahead of him downstream and catch him there while you are tied to a rope."

"I can't let my brother die!" Ferb argued.

"I know, now come on." Lily said, hurrying as fast as her leg could carry her downstream. I sighed, gathering all of my strength and speed before hurrying after the cat.

I can't believe I let this happen! If only I had not suggested running away in the first place! We would both be safe, but apart. There was no winning here. We had to leave. I know it was the right choice. We had to or else we would never see each other again!

Please don't let Phineas die because of me! I have to keep him safe!

All of sudden, and I was surprised I even noticed it, Lily stopped, dead in her tracks. I was confused at first.

"Run! You worthless excuse for a…" I paused and spotted what Lily was staring at. Why did we even leave in the first place! I thought again.

The raging river was leading my little step brother straight for a 20+ feet tall waterfall.

Nothing is clear in this chapter; this is, in a way, a sneak peak for what is to come in this story. You just gotta wait and see when this fits into the chapters ahead.

Oh and this is a squeal to Friend or Foe, though I recommend reading it before this story, it is not a have to. You will most likely understand the story if you do not.
