Hey, this is my first Fanfic, so please commet but please no major flamers. Elliptical was my beta reader, she's amazing so, woot. Tell me what you think, Phineas and Ferb Episode, "Battleships."
Chapter 1
I Know What We're Going to Do Today
Phineas and Ferb were sitting under their tree, reviewing their daily ideas with no real interest. "Teach Perry tricks; create a sound-proof bubble, New Holiday… Day, I don't know Ferb, none of them seem good," Phineas said, putting their blueprints away. He sat back down and stared at the grass, pondering their daily activity. Lawrence then entered the yard and noticed his bored children doing nothing.
"Hey, boys, what'cha doing?" he said.
"I don't know dad, for once we're out of ideas," Phineas replied. Then he noticed his father was holding something. "What's that?" he asked, pointing at the game box that Lawrence was holding.
"Oh, this? This was my favorite game from when I was a lad," he said, putting down the box to show Phineas and Ferb. It depicted a duel between two WWII type battleships.
"Battleships?" inquired Phineas, opening up the box to examine the game closely.
"Yes, it requires a lot of strategy and patience, think you two can play?" Dad challenged, before chuckling and walking off.
"Well, Dad did suggest we play this, let's give it a whirl," exclaimed Phineas. The two spent about five minutes setting the game up before sitting across from each other and beginning. They were halfway through the game when Baljeet, Buford, and Isabella walked into the yard. Phineas was sweating profusely and scanning his board worriedly, while Ferb was sitting back against the tree with a hint of a satisfied smile on his face.
"A…" Phineas began to stutter, looking up for any sign of change in his brother's face. "Five," he finally decided. Ferb drew his hand slowly across his neck, indicating a miss with glee. Phineas lifted the white marker grudgingly, and placed it onto the board.
"Hey Phineas, what'cha doin'?" Isabella chimed in as Ferb began his guess. Both of them looked up to see their friends.
"Oh, hi guys, we're playing an old board game our dad showed us. Ferb's doing very well, but it's all part of my master plan," said Phineas, giving his brother a wicked smile.
Ferb replied by rolling his eyes.
"Hey, where's Perry?" Phineas asked them all, looking around.
"Perry's absence won't end your defeat," Ferb piped in before announcing, "J6." Phineas looked down at the board, and gave a frustrated yell.
"Hit, you sunk my battleship." Phineas sighed. Ferb gave another smile, and chuckled softly. "You know, Ferb, I wonder if you could beat me in a real battleship duel. Wait, that's it! I know what we're going to do today!" he said, after realizing that the battleship was his last.
"So, let's start that giant version now," Phineas said, trying hard to cover up his previous loss. "We can be on teams, two versus two. Since Ferb won this round, I'll pick my partner first." Isabella's face lit up, and then became downcast when Phineas chose Baljeet; since Phineas said he'd need someone nearly as intelligent as Ferb to beat him. Ferb chose Buford, whose aggressive nature could help in a war against his brother. "Isabella, you can keep score, how's that?" Phineas said.
"Sure, no problem," sighed Isabella. She went over and sat by the fence while Phineas and Ferb began building the ships. "Maybe Perry will help me… Perry? Perry? Phineas, where's Perry?"
"Oh, he already vanished today, don't worry," Phineas replied while welding the hull of the Aircraft Carrier, which was named the S.S. Perry. Ferb's carrier was the S.S. The Platypus and both had Perry on their flags, except Ferb's was muted color. Meanwhile, Perry was sneaking away behind the house to begin his Agent P. mission.
