Disclaimer: I do not own Phineas and Ferb

Late at night, a young boy was taking a bath, he appeared to be talking to some imaginary friend.

"My friend came over to play, we played superheroes, I was the Black Power Ranger, he was Batman" said the boy

The boy's father, Phineas Jonathan Flynn, was playing guitar in the next room when he noticed his 5 year old son talking to himself.

"Shaun, you alright in there buddy?" asked Phineas

"I'm okay dad" said Shaun

Shaun turned to face his imaginary friend.

"Can I ask you a question?" asked Shaun

Phineas put down his guitar and entered the bathroom.

"Alright, time to hit the hay" said Phineas

Phineas helped his son out of the bath and wrapped a towel around him.

"Can I wear my bug pyjamas tonight?" asked Shaun

"Ah, the bug pyjamas are downstairs, but the fire truck ones are good to go, will they be alright?" asked Phineas

"Please?" asked Shaun

"...Okay" said Phineas

Phineas gave his son a kiss on the forehead and left to get his son's pyjamas.

"Be right back" said Phineas

When Phineas was gone, Shaun faced his imaginary friend once again.

"Does it hurt to be dead?" asked Shaun

Meanwhile, Phineas was on his way back upstairs with his son's pyjamas in hand.

"Animal" said a woman

Downstairs was Phineas' loving wife, Isabella, and her sister, Maria. They were hugging each other and broke apart when Maria called Phineas an Animal.

"What did I do now?" asked Phineas

"Do you want me to tell him?" asked Maria

"Only if you want to die" said Isabella

Maria ignored Isabella's comment and faced Phineas again.

"Well, you impregnated my sister again" said Maria

"Bitch!" said Isabella

"What? I thought you wanted me to" said Maria

"Why? Because I said don't?" asked Isabella

"You were so afraid to say anything, the kid could have been born before he even noticed" said Maria

"You're not pregnant" said Phineas

Isabella smiled and nodded her head.

"And you told her before you told me?" asked Phineas

"She's a witch..." said Isabella, before Phineas interrupted her

"No argument here" said Phineas

"...She took one look at me and guessed...say something" said Isabella

Phineas didn't know what to say. Isabella left the room to get a drink.

"So, she's six weeks pregnant so the baby's due between May and June, so Gemini, cool, Einstein was a Gemini" said Maria

"Could you go upstairs and help Shaun with his pyjamas?" asked Phineas

Phineas went into the kitchen.

"This really is great, I've been thinking about having another kid, I've been trying to bring it up" said Phineas

"Really?" asked Isabella

"Yes, but this time, you have to take some time off work" said Phineas

"We can't afford that" said Isabella

"Sure we can, I'll just work overtime" said Phineas

"No, I don't want you working those hours again, you come home in a trance and you're completely useless to me" said Isabella

"Ouch, look, I'll be fine, okay, I'll just tell Teddy to get somebody else for the day" said Phineas

Isabella realised something.

"Oh god, Phineas, I completely forgot, no wonder you seem pissed off" said Isabella

"I'm not, don't worry, look, I gotta go change, put on something cool" said Phineas

Phineas gave Isabella a kiss.

"I love you" said Phineas

Phineas went to leave the room but stopped at the door.

"I'm not gonna be a lineman forever, I promise you that" said Phineas

"What do you mean?" asked Isabella

"Have you seen my job? A monkey could do it" said Phineas

"Yeah, but they're gonna move you into the office soon" said Isabella

"No, I mean when we first talked to each other about what we wanted to be, I said a lot of stuff about what I was going to be, I just want you to know I wasn't giving you some kind of line, I meant it" said Phineas

"Phineas, I know you meant it, but I didn't marry you because I thought you were going to be successful, I know you will, but that wasn't the reason" said Isabella

"I never even wanted to be successful, I just never expected to be so..." said Phineas

"So what?" asked Isabella

"...So ordinary" said Phineas

Phineas left the room, he went to Shaun's room to see him sleeping, Phineas pulled the blanket over Shaun's shoulders, set the alarm clock and kissed Shaun on the head, on the way out, Phineas switched off the light. Shaun must have heard something because he raised his finger to his mouth and Shushed whatever he heard. Phineas, Isabella and Maria left the house to go to a party.

"Hey, what are the odds of a successful, single man at this thing? Doesn't need a GED" said Maria

The trio arrived at a house a couple blocks away, Phineas encountered his old friend, Buford.

"Hey Dinnerbell, how you doing?" asked Buford

"You would not believe the day I've had" said Phineas

Buford led Phineas to the drinks, he handed Phineas a can of beer. A man walked up behind Phineas.

"Hey, Flynn, how you liking the neighbourhood?" asked the man

"It's nice, I actually grew up not far from here, my family still live at Maple Drive" said Phineas

Another guy walked up to the group.

"Hey, did any of you guys see them crank dealers hanging out by the..." said the guy, before Buford cut him off

"What is Lenny doing here? Bobby, did you tell Lenny you were having a party?" asked Buford

"Yeah, why?" asked Bobby

"Why would you invite this Jack Off?" asked Buford, walking toward Bobby

"Yeah, laugh it up Buford, laugh it up" said Lenny

Meanwhile, Maria was looking at some party guests.

"Not attracted to...not drunk enough for...WHOA, yikes" said Maria

A couple hours later, most guests had left, Phineas was sitting on the front porch checking the two way radio he had set in Shaun's room. He saw Isabella gesture him to come in the house, and he did. When he was inside, he sat on a chair while a group of friends, which also included Maria, sat around a coffee table.

"Have you ever heard of people being operated on while under hypnosis?" asked Maria

"Nah, I don't believe in that type of stuff, people who say they have been weren't really hypnotised, they were just playing along" said one of the guests

"Then how can they have a scalpel in them without bleeding or making a sound?" asked Maria

"Bullshit" said Buford

"Then how about this, in college, I saw a fellow student have a 2 inch needle jabbed into his arm while under hypnosis" said Maria

"Bullshit" said Buford

"What I want to know is how someone who went to college could believe all that superstitious crap" said Phineas

"It's not superstition, I'm practically a licensed Hypnotherapist" said Maria

"Oh, practically licensed, isn't that just like saying 'I don't have a license'?" said Phineas

Isabella pinched Phineas' arm.

"This may come as a shock to you, but just because you spent your whole life in the same city, doesn't mean there isn't a larger world out there, doorways that you haven't even opened" said Maria

"Then why don't you prove it, hypnotise someone" said Buford

"Yeah, try it on ME" said Phineas

"No" said Maria

"Why not?" asked Phineas

"Well, for one thing, you're hostile" said Maria

"I'm not hostile, do I seem hostile to any of you guys?" asked Phineas

Everyone mumbled in agreement.

"Thanks for having us, it was a great party" said Isabella

Isabella tried to stand up, but Phineas grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to her seat.

"No way, this is just getting good, come one Maria, hypnotise me" said Phineas

"No way, you're drunk" said Maria

"I'm not drunk" said Phineas

"You're not supposed to mesmerize someone who's been drinking" said Maria

"Come on, educate the savages" said Phineas

"And it won't work with that uncooperative attitude" said Maria

"I swear I will follow every instruction to the letter" said Phineas

Maria stared at Phineas and Phineas leaned forward.

"What's the worst that could happen?" asked Phineas

"Someone turn out the lights" said Maria

That does it for this chapter, I hope you enjoyed
