Candace sat outside her brothers' room. She knew perfectly well he was in there. But Candace was nervous to approach him. This sounded like a good idea three minutes ago, but now she was doubting her decision.
"C'mon Candace. You can do this." She whispered to herself, placing her hand on her door.
But after staring at her hand on the handle, Candace retracted it. She had no idea how he would respond to what she had to say. She hadn't really gotten to know him. Of course Candace felt bad for it, but could you blame her! It was hard to communicate with someone who almost never talked!
"It's not that hard! You've just got to say 'thank you' and it will be over with" Candace mumbled.
Candace owed him so much more than that. He saved her life! If it weren't for him, she would be splattered over Danville Canyon right now.
"Just open the door Candace."
Candace grabbed the handle and turned the knob. The room seemed normal. Candace didn't know what she expected. Maybe an exploding carrot the size of Phineas' bed or something.
"Ferb, are you in here?" Candace asked shyly.
Ferb's head appeared from the side of the room. Candace fully entered the room to see her step-brother clearly.
"Ferb, I, umm… This is kinda hard to explain." Candace said, shifting her feet.
Ferb stared at her.
"Well, it's just that, well, I owe you one. You saved my life today. Thanks." Candace mumbled.
Ferb continued to stare at her, making her feel awkward.
"I'll just leave. Thanks for your time." Candace whispered and started for the door.
"Candace, wait."
Candace stopped in her tracks. She whipped around to stare at Ferb.
"It was the least I could do. You're my sister." Ferb told her calmly.
Candace smiled. Maybe her quiet brother wasn't so bad after all.
If you didn't already notice, this takes place after "Ain't No Kiddie Ride". I thought it would be a good idea for Candace to thank Ferb for saving her. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed. Please review if you have any suggestions or thoughts! Every review is appreciated.
