Title: Coming Back Home
Date: 19/09/15 – same day
Time: 4:25 am – 6:15 pm
Phineas sighed as he got into the car taking one last look at the house he had grown up in, then he look at the backyard. There was no way when he said to Ferb on the first day of Summer twelve years ago that they were going to make a roller coaster that he could have known that they were going to have such an insane and eventful summer.
He smiled as he remembered everything that they had done over the years in that backyard, he laughed at how insane they had driven Candace insane since their inventions kept disappearing before their Mum could see them. Candace never did bust them. She had given up by the time she was eighteen.
When he had finally found out why their inventions kept disappearing it made a lot of sense even with the memories from the 2nd dimension, he was a little shocked when he found out but then again it made a hell of a lot of sense when he thought about it. He started the car and drove away, if he had turned around one last time he would have seen a platypus wearing a fedora watching him drive away with a sad smile on his face, it was shocking how fast Phineas and Ferb had grown up.
Perry walked inside trying to get his head around the fact that Phineas was going off to college and Ferb would be leaving soon and taking him (Perry) to England with him. Even Ferb had changed over the years not that Perry had noticed, one minute he was just getting to know Phineas and Ferb after they had brought him home and then suddenly Phineas was off to college and Ferb was going to be leaving soon. He couldn't believe that twelve years had really gone that quickly.
"Hey Perry. I take it Phineas has already left," Ferb asked walking into the kitchen, he had already said goodbye to his brother earlier that day after they had finished building one last invention. Perry was staring out the window thinking over everything that had happened since Phineas and Ferb had brought him home. Which seemed like a very long time ago.
"Yeah he has. Am I the only one that's just realised just how much time has really passed," Perry said turning around to face Ferb, he had been so happy that he had been able to tell Phineas and Ferb that he was (well had been) a secret agent and wasn't just a mindless platypus that didn't do much. He couldn't believe that they had known for about two or three years now. He had retired a while ago so he was free to tell them, he did sometimes go and check on Doofenshmirtz as well as Vanessa just to see how they were doing.
"No, you're not the only one. I can't believe that I'm going to be going to college soon, it seems like yesterday that we had brought you and Phineas said that we should build a roller coaster," Ferb said thinking back to that first day of almost twelve years ago, they certainly didn't have a boring summer. It was probably the most eventful summer he had ever had, and it had been followed by many more just like it. Ferb was always amazed at the idea's Phineas come up with.
"Do you mind coming with me to England?" Ferb asked getting something to eat from the fridge, Perry smiled when he realized what Ferb was making, somethings really would never change no matter how old they got which was comforting in its own strange way, Phineas and Ferb had both changed a lot over the years though there was always certain things that stayed the same, like Phineas' insane imagination and Ferb's amazing talent at finding a way to build whatever crazy idea Phineas had come up with.
"Of cause not. Besides things would be boring without you or Phineas around," Perry replied making Ferb smile knowing what Perry was talking about, it was going to be strange to be away from Phineas they had always been together and couldn't stand to be apart for more than hour.
Though even that was torture. He didn't know when he was going to see Phineas next but he had feeling it wasn't going to be for awhile. He never thought in the short span of fifteen years he and Phineas would have become this close over such a short time.
Ten Year Later
Phineas sighed happily when he saw the "Welcome to Danville" sign, it seemed like forever since he was last here even though it had only been ten year it felt like sooo much longer. He had tried his best to keep in contact with everyone over the last ten years, the only person he spoke to on a near weekly bases was Ferb, it was closest thing they would get to actually being able to see each other, ten years was the longest time they had ever spent apart.
Phineas gulped a little when he stopped in front of his parents' house, his Mum's car was in drive way, everything looked almost exactly like it did when he had left ten year ago.
He sighed and got out of the car only then did he see Isabella's, Baljeet's and Buford cars parked not too far away, he sighed a little when he saw that Ferb's car wasn't there. Oh well. He couldn't help but smile as he walked up the drive way to the front door, he was about to push the door open when he was tackled by a blueish green blur that was none other than his pet platypus Perry that he hadn't seen in ten years.
Phineas stared down at Perry a little shocked at being knocked to the ground. He had been a little shocked when he found out that Perry was a secret agent which triggered his memories of the adventure he had in the 2nd dimension. He smiled and hugged Perry who chattered, he had missed Perry, it had been strange waking up in the morning and not seeing Perry or Ferb but it was something he had gotten used to but it didn't mean he didn't miss them anymore. He had missed his family and friends a lot over the last ten years.
Though the person he had missed the most was Ferb. Perry got up and pulled Phineas to his feet, pulling Phineas towards the door, Phineas yelped when he stumbled pushing open the door getting everyone's attention, Perry smiled and went back to playing dumb, not everyone knew about the fact that he was a secret agent. Everyone looked up when the front door opened a man with a triangle head with red hear wearing an orange and yellow shirt under a leather jacket with tan shorts and combat boots.
There was no way that this man was their Phineas it just wasn't possible. Phineas looked up after he had managed to get his balance and by some miracle not face plant. That's when he noticed everything was dead silent and looked up and saw that everyone was staring at him like they didn't know who he was but then again he had changed a lot over the last ten years, he had a bit of a growth spurt and had actually filled out bit which was nice. He helped when he was hugged from behind then pulled up the stairs and into his old room.
With Ferb
He was a the shopping center doing a food run since they seemed to have run out of food which wasn't strange at reunions like this, they had one ever five or ten years, the meeting place was usually in Danville since it was covenant. After high school they had kept in contact with each other as best they could given how busy they all were. Ferb had finally asked Vanessa out soon after he had graduated from college, he had asked her to marry him about six or seven months ago.
Baljeet and Ginger were still together and were going to get married soon, they had been dating since their senior year of high school. Ferb couldn't believe just how much things had changed in the last ten years, it was hard to wrap his head around the fact that he had graduated from college and was going to be starting a business with Phineas who had hadn't been in ten years but talked to more than any of their other friends.
It had been hard not having Phineas around to begin with but he had slowly gotten used to it after while having Perry with him made it a little easier but that didn't mean he didn't miss his brother any less. After he had gotten everything he had made his way home, when he arrived he got everything out and started to walk towards the front door when he noticed that Phineas car was parked on the street, he dropped the bags he was carrying near the mail box and ran up the drive way to the already open front door to see Phineas was standing just inside.
plineas had his back to the door so he didn't see his brother run up to him and pulled him into a hug before pulling him up the stairs and into their old room, he didn't see Perry smiling as he watched Ferb dragged his shocked brother up to his room. Ferb dragged Phineas into their old room the door locking behind them not that either of them noticed.
Phineas turned around and pulled his brother into tight hug, it had been far too long, Ferb smiled as Phineas pulled back and pulled in him towards his old bed making him sit down.
"How have you been?" Phineas asked as he sat next to his brother on his old bed, he looked around the room not that much had changed, there were a few more photo's scattered along the walls and the desk seemed more cluttered then he remembered it being, it had changed but was still the same as well just like him and Ferb. They had changed a lot over the last ten years but there would always be something that always stayed the same and never changed.
"I've been good, things have been boring without you" Ferb said as Phineas leaned against his brother wrapping his arms around him, he yelped a little when he was pulled onto Ferb's lap letting him rest his head on his brothers shoulder it was his way of reassuring himself that this wasn't a dream and he wouldn't wake up in his dorm room alone and a half finished paper that needed to be handed in in two days, it had been a long ten years.
Phineas' P.O.V
I smiled at the response. I knew it was Ferb's way of saying that he had missed me. I had missed him a lot over the last ten years. I think the inventing is going to have to wait a little while. I haven't been able to invent anything in the last ten years, all I've been able to do is come up with idea's but I haven't been able to actually build them, not without Ferb who has changed a lot since I last saw him, I think he's taller and has filled out a bit more. His voice is also a little deeper then I remember it being. Other than he was still the same.
He was still my Brother.
"Yeah, things have been boring without you too," I replied as Ferb rested his head on top of mine, I could tell that he was smiling even though I wasn't looking at his face, he pushed me away holding me at arm's length and studied me before we started laughing, after a good five or ten minutes of laughing Ferb lied down on my bed pulling me down with him, I sighed contentedly and rested me head on his chest, it was good to be home again.
I think after a while of listening to Ferb breath I fell asleep, not that I meant to of cause, I was just so tired after the drive here that I couldn't keep my eyes open. I was woken three or four hours later when Ferb moved to sit up but stopped when he realised that I was using his chest as a pillow, I sighed when I felt his arms tighten around me a little. I groaned when he shook my shoulder I didn't want to get up, I perfectly content where I was.
"Come on Phineas, dinner's ready," Ferb said I groaned and sat up or at least tried too, my arms gave out on me, not being able to hold my weight after being curled in one position for so long, Ferb just laughed and helped me sit up. It seemed like my limbs were made of jelly and couldn't hold me up, I found that out the hard way when I went to get off the bed I found that I wasn't able to stand, Ferb had to help me stand and we made our way down stairs, everyone looked up when we entered the kitchen.
Normal P.O.V
"Ah you're finally awake. I take it you had a good sleep. Phineas are you alright" Linda asked wondering why Ferb was holding his brother up, she had gone to check on them earlier and was surprised to see them fast asleep on Phineas' old bed, Ferb's chest being used as Phineas make shift pillow. She had smiled and closed the door not wanting to disturb them. She knew how close they were and most likely needed the time alone and the sleep, since she was sure they would both be tired.
"He's just tired. His arms and legs aren't working at the moment," Ferb said chuckling at his brother, who was rather cuddly at the moment, he sometimes got like this if he hadn't been sleep well. Isabella, Baljeet and Buford all laughed at their friend, it was clear that he hadn't gotten much sleep since Ferb was pretty much supporting him. They knew what Phineas was like when he didn't get enough sleep, it was always amusing to watch Phineas when he was in this kind of mood.
"In that case go back upstairs, the both of you could do with some more rest, we'll save you some," Isabella said seeing how tired Phineas was and knowing that trying to separate the two when Phineas was like this was a bad idea and she could tell that Ferb also needed a bit more time alone with his brother before he was willing to share him with anyone. They always found it strange how the two acted after they had been separated for a while.
Ferb just nodded and walked back upstairs carrying Phineas who wouldn't let him go, it seemed he wasn't exactly in the land of the living and kept on muttering something.
Once Ferb was upstairs and had put Phineas on his bed, he locked the door and went to join his brother who had climbed under the covers, he took off his jacket and slide under the covers not at all shocked when Phineas used his chest as his pillow his arms wrapping around his waist making him chuckle at how clinging Phineas was.
They had found out that if they were separated for more than 45 minutes to an hour Phineas would get ever fidgety, when they were back together again he would be very clingy almost like he was scared Ferb would disappear, it was a little strange but he had excepted it a long time ago and besides when Phineas was like this he had an excuse to hug his brother. He understood why being separated for more than an hour had this sort of effect on them.
Ferb had a feeling that the inventing would be held off for a while since Phineas was so clingy, it was a good thing that the gang were in town for the next month so they had plenty of time. Ferb promised himself that they would never be separated for this long again. The last ten years had been torture, the nearly weekly phone calls helped a little but it was still torture. He was amazing at how much had changed in the last ten years but how much had also stayed the same.
Phineas was still the same boy with a big imagination and an even bigger heart, Ferb sometimes wondered how he even come up with half of those things they were just that insane but also very fun. Ferb knew that they had driven Candace up the wall with their inventions, it was strange when they found out how and why their inventions disappeared by the end of the day normally before their Mum could see it which annoyed Candace to no end and to think it all began twenty-two years ago on the first day of summer vacation with the words:
"Hey Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today,"
Everything after "With Ferb" I wrote this morning, it seemed like it needed something more. The ending has also changed quiet a bit. I had originally planned for Phineas to get an idea then for them to go into the backyard and start building it, but when I got to coping it onto my computer it didn't seemed right I wrote the current ending.
I got the idea from another story that Phineas and Ferb couldn't stand to be apart for very long because they were pretty much two half's of a whole person so ten years would have been absolute torture. I come up with the idea of having Phineas become very clingy after they had been separated for a long time due to something that happened when they were younger I will write something about it if anyone is interested.
That's why it says there won't be any inventing for a while since Phineas is very clingy at the moment, no that I think about it this seems more like a chapter story then just a one short. I might end up writing a second chapter later on today, I don't know how long this story could be but it will probably focus mostly around Phineas and Ferb spending a lot of time together after being apart for ten years. Along with Perry of cause. I will be able to get a lot more in regards to my stories since I'm on holidays as of tomorrow and don't go back until October 6th.
On another more exiting note: my DBZ story Chance Encounters Change Everything or C.E.C.E for short has as of right now (12:41 pm 20/9/15) has 5,013 views. Thank you to everyone who has read the story, its completely mind blowing at how popular the story is. For those of you who have been wondering about chapter 10, I have written it, thought its not completely finished yet it will be up soon. I have also started on chapter 11 which should fix the continuity issues with having Goten, Pan and Trunks in the story.
I have also started to rewrite the first chapter, it should fit the story a bit more. I don't know wether I should replace Darkly Dreaming's chapter 1 with mine or just post my rewritten chapter 1, which I will most likely do and just leave a note at the beginning of chapter one that says there is a rewrite. I will replace it if people want me too and repost original chapter as a sort of one short. I'm not really sure what to do yet.
Anyway I hoped you enjoyed the story. Please review and tell me what you think. Thankyou for reading and have a good day/night.
