Sorry for taking so long to post something. I was gonna posted stuff after I finished them but I just got so tired of waiting.

Tp, tp, tp, tp, tp...

Ferb's shoes pounded against the floor as he ran through the hallway. But as fast and as long as his legs were, they were snails in comparison to his heart. He couldn't have heard right. There had to be something...something else! But the words echoed in his head like a scary nightmare and he flew the door open to find them, much to his complete dismay, to bare the truth. The world seemed to go black as Ferb's feet tiredly stumbled across the hospital room, despite the warnings of the doctors nearby. He pulled back the curtains to find two bodies covered by thin sheets. His mom and dad.

When Phineas, Perry, and Candace managed to catch up with him, via cell phone teleportation, they stopped, surprised to find him kneeling over his father's motionless body. Sob after sob escaping him as a river of tears flowed down his face. Phineas immediately ran to the aide of his brother, his own tears flowing down his face as Candace made her way to Linda's body.

As the three orphans mourned the loss of their parents within the tragic car crash, Perry looked about the room. It wasn't that he didn't care. He was hurt by this as well. Who wouldn't be? But he was there when he heard the police man explaining the car crash to the kids. And it wasn't just the Flynn-Fletchers that were harmed. Perry wandered over to the other side of the room where two other beds were. He could feel his stomach lurching and his heart begging heaven to tell him that he was living a dream. But the cold dead hand of his nemesis that laid limply out from underneath the sheet, shattered the reality of the platypus' mind. As hard it was to believe, Heinz Doofenshmirtz had finally been killed. Out of all of the explosions. All of the physical exertion. He had finally died. Perry tried to hold back his tears, but it was useless. How could he be celebrate or be happy about this? Heinz was more than a nemesis, after all. He was a great friend. Almost family, to the platypus. And as the secret agent walked a little ways further, he saw Charlene's body in the same position as well. Fortunately for Vanessa, whom Perry found in another room nearby, she was still alive, only unconscious.

Ferb had seen Perry come into the room and followed after. When he caught up with the platypus, he saw Vanessa's body and wasn't sure if his heart was lifting in relief that she was alive, or cringing and wincing in the pain of seeing her laid up like this. He scooped up his platypus and walked over a bit closer. And it took her nearly sitting up and groaning in pain before Ferb even realized she was awake.

"Vanessa-!", he exclaimed quietly as she laid back down.

"Ugggh... Oh my gosh... What... What happened?", she blinked up dazedly at the boy in front of her. "...Ferb?"

Ferb sighed. He knew it would be hard to explain this to her. But he did as best as he could. How his parents were on their way to open up the antique shop. The policeman. The car crash. The death of their parents. How she had managed to survive.

"What was going on?", he asked.

Vanessa blinked a bit more. Her head aching as she tried to remember. Her whole body hurt. She explained how it was the day she'd leave her dad to live with her mom. They accidentally ran into Charlene before the appointed time but decided to go ahead and send her back. The only thing they needed to do was get her backpack at her dad's place. They climbed into Charlene's car and drove over and as she and her dad were arguing, Vanessa stretched out in the back seats, neither adults were paying attention as their car collided with Linda and Lawrence's.

"I.. I can't believe this... They're actually..", Vanessa's eyes only went to the floor as tears welled up in them. She blinked out a few and then looked back at Ferb, as if looking for hope in his own crestfallen face. "Ferb.. What's gonna happen to us?"

Ferb was only silent for a moment. His mind scanned through the possibilities. It wasn't long before he reached a conclusion. And with it in mind, he gently took Vanessa by the hand, hoping she could see his confidence behind the wall of tears in his own eyes.

"We'll stay together.", he said, surprising her some. "You, me, Candace, Phineas, and even Perry. I'm eighteen. I'm old enough to live on my own. I'll have you guys live with me. You and I are old enough for jobs. I'm sure we can work out something."

"F..Ferb..", Vanessa only uttered, otherwise speechless at the idea.

Not to find it absurd or of fault. It actually seemed flawless. But the only problem in her mind was...where? It was quickly solved though, as she remembered her dad's penthouse. Not just rented out. Oh no. The whole kit and kaboodle, bought and paid for. And because it was the headquarters of an "incorporation", Vanessa, would then, be the heir to it in his death. She explained this to him and the two smiled, happy with their plans. It wasn't long before it was shared with the Phineas and Candace and agreed on as well.

It was perfect. Odd. Probably rough. But that was the funny thing about Life that the foursome will learn. Life isn't supposed to come on a silver platter. It's a double-edged sword. You can walk the slippery and narrow path, adverting disaster this way and that, but you will get hurt. One way or another. But it's in those hard times and those pains, that you will actually have the right to say, "It's just life.", and know what Life is like.

I know what you're probably thinking. "MURDERER! SHE'S AT IT AGAIN!" But you know, Shakespeare had a good point when he made his everlasting novels tragedies! And so I stand by my decision on this! I love Heinz, I do. (To heck with Linda and Charlene.) But his death just makes everything so freaking awesome! X33
