Phinbella Story—An Interplexing Future

Prologue and Chapter 1: The Message

Yes, for all my loyal fans out there (or those who have simply read my two previous stories), this is somewhat of a continuation of Celestial Feelings and If Summer Only Lasted One Day, but I skipped the 3 years of Middle School (since I'm in High School, I think that'd be less exciting than High School). Phineas and Isabella are now freshmen and officially boyfriend and girlfriend! Let's see how it all goes for this school year for them!

Danville High School, 3 years since "the great confession" between Isabella and Phineas…

It was finally here—high school! This now meant Homecoming, football games that were actually exciting, marching band (Phineas and Isabella picked up on band in Middle School), Band Banquet, travelling every now and then for school-related trips, Prom, etc. It also meant more school work and more studying for all, which was only to get harder as school progressed on. School was obviously no issue for Baljeet, Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, and Irving [A/N—sorry for barely featuring him now], but for the others, it would actually take much effort to keep grades up. For them, the words they feared were GPA's, grading periods, standardized tests, SAT, ACT, ASVAP, AP Tests (for those who were in Advanced Placement classes), IB Tests (for the low number in the International Baccalaureate program at their school), and the list went on. Their child life was gone and would never fully resume despite them all being destined to have great futures with little work required for their good future jobs.

This did not, however, stop the usual things from happening entirely; Buford was still a bully (who had loosened up, gotten smarter, but not accepted onto the Football team after the injuries he caused during summer tryouts) to Baljeet (who was still a massive nerd as ever), Ferb maintained his lack of speaking, Phineas still had a big head, Irving continued to keep memorabilia from Phineas and Ferb's activities, and Isabella and Phineas still hung out. The only difference is that now they were able to officially go out as boyfriend/girlfriend, like they were destined to do. Candace was off in college (luckily, a very good local one), now age 19 and working on her Bachelor's degree, so she did not interfere so much anymore in the affairs of Phineas and Ferb (which she had basically stopped doing 3 years ago anyway).

The basic group of friends—Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, Buford, Baljeet, and Irving—shared the same schedule serendipitously:

0 Period: Marching Band (7:30-8:45)

1st Period: Marching Band (8:45-9:32)

2nd Period: Pre-AP English I (9:37-10:24)

3rd Period: Marching Band (10:29-11:16)

4th Period: Spanish I (11:21-12:04)

Lunch (12:04-1:11)

5th Period: Pre-AP Biology (1:16-2:03)

6th Period: Pre-AP Geometry (2:08-2:54)

7th Period: Pre-AP World Geography (2:59-3:45)

With this perfect combination of the exact same classes, they were all able to help each other as needed, work together in groups, etc. In their meeting place under the tree in Phineas and Ferb's backyard, all the friends stood in anxiety. "Nothing could get better, right Izzy?" asked Phineas. "Nope, no it can't" answered Isabella in her softened, love-struck way towards her new official boyfriend while smiling, blushing, and holding his hand. "You all realize that we'll all have to all get up earlier than most other kids here for marching band, right?" asked Baljeet. "Ah, suck it up, nerd! Marching band is for the tough—and I say this after the summer freshmen band camp's hard work" answered Buford. [A/N—marching band is pretty strenuous; I'm in band, so I know].

The marching band 0 Period didn't start until the next day, so the gang all got the necessary rest for this first day of school. "Bye, mom and dad!" said Phineas. "See you boys later!" said Mrs. Flynn. "Knock 'em dead, boys!" said Mr. Fletcher. They all stepped into the hovercraft in the Flynn-Fletcher backyard with their stuff, Phineas piloting it. They ended up at the front of the school after a minute or two. A large crowd of people had gathered in front of the school, all aware of Phineas and Ferb's contributions to society despite their youth, to greet them with a warm welcome. They all dropped their stuff off in the band room and all hung out there, where they had previously decided to meet for anything and everything.

=== Later that Day… ===

After a relatively smooth school day filled with syllabi, lesson plans, and class intros, they all got back to their cloaked and shielded hovercraft and headed home. When they all had landed to walk home the rest of the way from Phineas and Ferb's house, Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella all got off to start the little homework given that day. All of a sudden, a bright streak came from the sky and something hit Phineas and Ferb's backyard. All (including the others) headed out back to see what happened and saw something metallic sitting in a small gorge in the ground. They all approached with care and as soon as Phineas gathered enough courage to reach for it first, it opened up and unfolded into what seemed like a portal with a hologram message appearing before them. "Ooh! Perhaps it is a portal to another dimension!" said Baljeet enthusiastically. "Nah, that's in no way possible" snapped Buford.

Some person wearing rather complicated and high-tech clothing stood as a hologram and said "Help us, Phineas and Ferb! I'm from a rather horrible future in your time and I speak on behalf of the people of earth! Dr. Doofenshmirtz, whom we all thought to be a total failure at evil (and at life), has managed to enslave the whole Tri-State Area with a powerful robotic army and has begun a project of eugenics testing! We need…" the message fizzled some as the last image shown was this man being captured by some fierce genetically engineered soldiers. "They must have used an interplexing beacon to send this message back in time!" said Phineas. "Aw, man! And right after the first day of school, too!" "Told you it was a portal to another dimension" said Buford to Baljeet. Baljeet just slapped his head in frustration. "Man, Buford, you haven't changed too much, have you?" asked Irving, who was given a wet-willy in return.

Candace was relatively free for the day and hanging out at home, so she came rushing out in a less panicky way then she usually did in her teenage years (don't forget—she's 19 at this point). She looked at the portal and damaged backyard and asked "Simple question: what the heck happened here?" "Some metal object came from the sky and hit, turning into a portal that gave us a holographic message from the future" said Ferb. "They must've used an interplexing beacon to do it. This is from a future time" said Phineas. "Well, if you're gonna go into this future and fight some evil…person or people, then I'm coming with you." At that moment, Jeremy walked in, saying "Hey…guys…what happened here?" "Long story, honey" said Candace. "Are you up for traveling into the future to go fight some evil?" "Uh…sure, I guess. I mean, it beats work." The whole time, they were holding hands and smiling at each other as he kissed her on the cheek.

"Ferb, you know what to do" said Phineas, grinning at his brother. "Isabella, are you up for this?" Isabella embraced his hand and said "Until death do us part, which it probably won't" she said, giggling. "Um…isn't it a little early to be thinking…?" before he finished, she gave him a brief kiss on the cheek, making both of them blush very noticeably. After they all rolled their eyes and smiled at the two, they were all going down into the "sanctum" for changing into futuristic battle gear. Phineas and Ferb had recreated The Beak's suit, but miniaturized for individual people. They utilized one new nanotechnology feature, however: self-repair for moderate damage! They all had blaster rifles, lightsabers, grappling hooks, jetpacks, shields, cloaking devices, and the works. "Just to be sure we all get back in time to have time to do our homework and go to bed at a decent hour, I'll activate a time manipulation device that will slow time down here incredibly while we are off in the future. We'll have control of that device from our suits and be able to monitor the events of the present. All right, people, let's move!"

Hope you like it so far! For your information, an Interplexing Beacon is from Star Trek; it's a piece of Borg technology that can send a message back through time or forward in time. A Cloaking device is something that many alien species like the Klingons, Romulans, Suliban, etc. have to make their ships invisible. Like I said in my profile, you can expect some Star Trek reference or sub-theme in my stories! :D
