Sadly, the only thing I could do all summer was follow that arrogant, too-perky Isabella and the rest of the Fire Side girls. Stupid parents, why'd they have to make me 'get involved'? I was perfectly happy in my room, listening to my music and drawing my characters. I made up stories all the time; my walls were covered in doodles of dogs, cats, birds, and just about any animal you could think of.
As I trudged behind the rest of the troop into a random yard, I flipped my black bangs back in front of my right eye; I wasn't goth or emo, but I still didn't mind hiding one of my deep brown eyes. My mother constantly nagged me to push them out of my eyesight, but I only did when she was around.
"Watcha doin'?" I inwardly growled at the annoying troop leader; that voice of hers was pure torture to me. Peering around the others, I spotted a boy with messy red hair and a taller boy with green – wait, green? - hair. The shorter one looked up at Isabella and shrugged.
"Dunno yet." The green-haired boy shrugged along with him. I just raised an eyebrow at them. What could they possibly do? That's when he saw me.
"Hey, you don't look familiar, you new here?" As he talked to me, I looked away from the blue platypus that had appeared around the corner of their yellow house and at him. Something happened, I'm not sure what it was. Whatever it was, though, caused me to look away with a small, silent nod. I looked at him from the corner of my eye and I saw him smile. "Cool. I'm Phineas, and that's my brother, Ferb. He doesn't talk much." With a dismissing nod, he noticed what I had been studying. "That's our pet platypus, Perry," he announced. I smiled up at him. A hint of color came to his cheeks before he snapped his fingers. "Ferb! I know what we're gonna do today!" he shouted. Isabella, annoying as ever, jumped in.
"What is it, Phineas?" she asked sweetly. Just kill me now, I begged inwardly.
"We're gonna make an animal transformer!" he replied. Her eyes widened.
"Cool! I can get my Become-One-With-Animals patch!" Seriously, these stupid Fire Side Girls had a patch for everything.
