Thanks for some feedback. :) I do not own Phineas and Ferb...

Lawrence finished getting dressed and began rubbing his temples. He felt a small headache coming on… probably from the lack of sleep these couple of nights, but he was still going out to spend some one on one time with Ferb. He began putting on his shoes, when Linda walked in. He smiled up at her and she smiled back.

She leaned up against the doorframe and spoke, "Are you doing alright, honey?"

Lawrence sighed, "Far better then last year, or even the years before I suppose."

"You know it's alright to cry. Sometimes it helps release some of the pain."

"I need to be brave for Ferb, love. I don't have time to cry…"

She sighed, "If you need time to yourself to think about her, I can spend time with Ferb later."

Lawrence shook his head and stood up, "I need to spend time with him today. I need him, and he needs me. I think back on that day and sometimes wonder what would've happened if I maybe came home even earlier…"

Linda shook her head and hugged her husband, "Lawrence everything happens for a reason… and there was a reason why you were able to save your son. And for that I am happy…"

"I know, dear… I know…" he pulled back slightly and smiled, "I'm just lucky to have you in my life. And I'm lucky to have the respect from you to feel this way about my previous wife…"

She kissed his cheek, "You have every right to think about her today… now you should get going, Ferb is probably waiting for you."

"Yes, yes, yes… okay we'll be back in a couple of hours."

He went over to the boy's room and looked in. Phineas was playing a game on the bed with Perry at his feet. Lawrence looked around but didn't see Ferb anywhere.

"Phineas my boy, where has Ferb gone off to?"

Phineas looked up from his game, "He went for a little walk down the street while he was waiting for you."

"Thank you, son. I'll see you-"

Before he could finish, he heard sirens driving by right outside. Both Phineas and Lawrence looked out the window and watched as two fire trucks, an ambulance and a couple of cop cars drove by. Phineas hopped off of the bed, opened the window and looked outside.

He gasped, "Oh my gosh! Someone's house is on fire! I can see it from here!"

Lawrence frowned and went over to look out the window. Sure enough, someone's house was on fire down the street. Phineas quickly darted out of the room and down the stairs. Lawrence followed after him and called out,

"Phineas! Where are you going?"

Phineas called over his shoulder, "I want to go see who's house it is!"

Linda heard them shouting and came downstairs, "What's wrong? What's going on?"

Lawrence motioned to the door, "One of the neighbor's houses is on fire. I'm going to follow Phineas to make sure he doesn't get into trouble."

Linda followed behind her husband and soon caught up to Phineas, who was standing right next to the taped fence. He was looking up at the burning house in wonderment.

Linda gasped, "This is Lisa Willow's house… I hope she and the children are okay."

They heard a fire fighter calling out, "Someone get in there! There are two kids still inside!"

Another fire fighter looked up, "Two? The woman said that only one of her son's are in there."

"That Fletcher kid darted into the building before anyone could stop him…"

Lawrence, Linda and Phineas all gasped and stared at each other wide eyed. Did they just say…?

Lawrence called over to one of the cops, "Sir! Is there anyone in the building?"

The cop nodded, "Yes, one of Ms. Willow's children, and witnesses reported a kid by the name of Ferb Fletcher running in as well…"

Lawrence held a hand to his mouth to stifle a cry. His boy is in a burning building? Why on earth would he be in there for?

Linda gripped her husband's shoulders and tried to console him, "It's alright now… everything's alright…"

Phineas looked nervously up at the house and suddenly took a step back when part of the house exploded. He cried out his brother's name and went to cross the police line when a cop caught him and held him back.

Phineas screamed, "No! You don't understand! My brother's in there! I have to help him! Ferb!"

The cop continued to hold him back, "Easy there, son…"

"No! Ferb! No!"

Lawrence went to cross the line as well, but was held back by more cops. He called out, "My son is in there! I've got to get him out!"

"Sir calm down," one of the cops spoke, "we're doing everything-"

Another explosion made everyone turned their heads. The roof caved in and huge flames were visible. The firefighters sprayed their large hose and doused out some of the flames, making it all turn to smoke instead. Once the smoke somewhat cleared, an outline of a young kid holding a child in his arms could be seen exiting the house.

Phineas squinted his eyes and gasped when he saw the kid's green hair, "It's Ferb!"

Ferb held a crying Jeremiah close as he searched for an exit. He took a couple of steps forward and fell back when he felt something shake the entire house. More flames licked through the house, so Ferb quickly stood back up and continued forward. After a minute another rattle from somewhere made the roof fall. He tried to dart away from the falling debris. He felt something hard hit his head but he kept going forward. He saw stars and small black spots, but he also saw something else... sunshine. He ran as fast as he could to the open door and made it out in time. He panted and started coughing violently, but he made his way away from the burning building.

Once he was fully out, a firefighter came running over and gripped Ferb's shoulders before he could fall over. A medic came and took the child from Ferb's arm and walked off. Ferb leaned up against the firefighter and began coughing again. He blinked a couple of times when he thought he heard someone call his name. He turned his head and saw his family looking at him with worried expressions. Ferb went to wave over to him when he suddenly blacked out.

The family watched in horror as Ferb's knees suddenly buckled out from underneath him. The firefighter caught him before he could fall and called out,

"We need help… now!" The firefighter laid Ferb down on the ground and called out again, "He's injured! We need a medic now!"

Phineas looked over the cops shoulder and looked at his brother on the ground. He gulped when he saw Ferb's green hair mixed with a crimson color. He struggled against the cops grasp,

"No! Ferb's hurt! I've got to help him!"

Lawrence heard what Phineas said and looked over to where his son was laying. He looked angrily at the cop, "He's my son! I demand to see him right now!"

The cop shook his head, "We need the area clear for the ambulance…"

Soon enough, two medics came out of the ambulance, carrying a stretcher. The family watched as they put Ferb on the stretcher and carried him back to the ambulance. Lawrence, Linda and Phineas all ran over to the ambulance.

Lawrence called out, "Please… that's my son! I have to… go with you!"

One of the medics nodded and allowed Lawrence to climb in. Phineas stood next to his mom and called up,

"Wait... what about us? We're family too!"

The medic shook his head, "Only one family member may ride with the patient."

The driver closed the doors and raced to the front to drive off. Linda gripped her son's shoulder,

"Come on, Phineas… let's go get your sister and get to the hospital."

Phineas nodded and followed his mom back to the house.

Lawrence knelt down next to his son and looked down sadly at him. Ferb was covered in burns and scratches, and he had blood running down his forehead and down the side of his temples. He knew head wounds tend to bleed a lot... but that was way too much blood to be a regular head wound.

He grabbed his son's hand and gave it a squeeze, "Ferb… Ferb can you hear me?"

Ferb's eyes fluttered open slightly. He looked over at his dad and mumbled, "Father…"

Lawrence breathed out and was slightly relieved, "I'm here, son… you have to hold on a little longer, we're almost-"

Ferb's eyes suddenly closed again and he let out a shuddered breath. The medic looked down at him and called out,

"I need the defibrillator… now!"

Lawrence's eyes grew wide, "Ferb? Ferb no! Please no... wake up!"

His son wasn't breathing anymore and the medics brought over the defibrillator to shock him back to life. He backed away slightly so the medics had space to do their job. The one medic ripped Ferb's shirt open and took the two metal paddles. He looked up and called out,

"Clear!"

Lawrence watched in horror as they attempted to bring his son back to life. Ferb's chest rose up then back down, but he still wasn't breathing.

"Nothing… and clear!"

Lawrence gripped the side of the vehicle as watched. All of these bad memories of the past flooded his mind as he looked at his son. He only hoped that this time this would have a happy ending…

"Nothing… and clear!"

Ferb opened his eyes and saw that he was in some sort of a field. He looked all around curiously and stood up. How did he get here? Where is here? What's going on?

He heard a woman's voice echoing in his mind, "Ferb..."

He looked all around and went to call back, but no words would come out of his mouth.

"Ferb..."

He turned to the direction of the voice and gasped when he saw a woman dressed in a blue dress walking over to him. She had green hair that flowed in the wind and she was barefoot. She smiled at the boy and spread her arms out. Ferb looked at her with wide eyes... he knew her... he knew exactly who she was...

"Mu... mum?" he spoke, finally finding his voice, "is that you?"

She nodded at him, "Yes son, it's me..."

Ferb took a step forward and looked around again, "Am I... am I dead?"

His mother shook her head, "No son, this is your mind. You have a head injury from the accident..."

"What accident? Wait... what's going on? How come I can't remember anything?"

She went to answer, when everything started shaking. Ferb heard several voices flood his mind.

"Clear!"

"Ferb, my boy! Come back to us! Don't give up!"

"Ferb buddy, come on now... don't do this!"

"Clear!"

"Sweetie please... please open up your eyes!"

"Clear!"

Ferb cried out in pain and grasped his chest, "What's going on... who are they? What do they want?"

There was no answer. He looked up and saw the field suddenly fading and his mother was nowhere in sight.

"Mum! MUM! No don't leave me here! NO!"

He cried out in pain again and fell to his knees. Everything grew black and soon he couldn't see or hear anything anymore...

Phineas looked down at his brother and felt more tears welling up in his eyes. Ferb was a palish color, he had scratches and burns all over his body and he had a bandage around his head. This didn't look like Ferb at all.

Lawrence sat in a chair right next to his son and looked sadly at his face. In the past couple of hours, they have almost lost Ferb twice and so far, there hasn't been a change with his condition.

Candace sat in another and looked sadly at her little brother and back at her dad. She can't even imagine what her father is feeling right now. He already lost his first wife in a fire, and now he may be losing his son. This was just too much... way too much to deal with...

Linda stood behind Phineas and kept rubbing his head. She had small tears running down her face as she looked at her ghostly pale son. She wished that he would finally open up his eyes and look at them... that would be a good thing if he woke up.

Phineas sighed, "Why isn't he waking up? The doctor said he should be waking up soon?"

Candace looked up at her brother, "The doctor also said that Ferb's strength is drained and that he's very weak... it may be a day or so before he-"

Everyone jumped in surprise when Ferb suddenly breathed out deeply and moaned. Lawrence leaned in closer to his son and placed a hand on his forehead.

"Ferb..." he spoke softly, "Ferb son... can you hear me?"

Ferb moved his shoulders slightly and his eyes began to blink open. His eyes were half closed and he moaned again in pain. He looked around at everyone and kept a frown written on his face.

Phineas leaned down next to his brother and grasped his hand, "Ferb... Ferb can you hear us?"

Ferb raised an eyebrow and nodded his head.

Lawrence breathed out in relief, "Oh Ferb... we were so worried about you."

Ferb looked at Lawrence and frowned even more.

Linda noticed this and spoke, "Ferb honey, is something wrong?"

Ferb looked at each person and finally spoke, "Yes..."

Candace leaned in closer, "What? Does something hurt? What's wrong?"

Ferb took his hand away from Phineas and looked around with narrowed eyes, "Who are you all, and why are you in my room?"

Uh oh... what's going to happen next? Thanks for reading... review?
