Author's Note:

Heya, guys...how's it going? I know it's an early update and all but I suddenly have the inspiration to make this, you know...plus, I already have the idea, just need to improve it. Anyway, I just finished watching "Bully Bromance Breakup" and man...Phineas and Ferb are unstable if they don't build anything... Wow... seriously, just wow...it's funny in a disturbing way and well, let me tell you something, it seems just like Phineas has OCD with building or something... And I also think the Bujeet elementary in the episode is quite clear. Of course, that's just me talking.

Oh well, back to the fanfic...I'm sorry I didn't make the chapter longer but I don't want to give away the element of surprise and I was afraid that if I filled too much information in a chapter, it wouldn't turn out well. Uhm, please ignore the grammar or spelling mistakes in the chapter. Once again, my English isn't really good. Oh well, let's get the disclaimer over with.

Disclaimer: I don't own Phineas and Ferb. They belong to someone else...and I'm not making any money out of this.

Chapter 1: Talking to myself

One week ago…

Phineas opened his eyes and let out a groan as he felt his head hurt like he had just been stepped on by a herd of angry horses. Everything hurt and worse, he couldn't see or hear anything. Phineas' eyes widened 'Wait a minute, I can't hear or see anything?' He sat straight up and winced as pain shot through his body like electricity. 'Okay…sitting up right after you have been stepped on by something or someone is a bad idea' He wrote down his mental note and looked around 'But…where am I?' Everything was pitch black and Phineas couldn't hear or see a thing. It was as if someone had switched off all his senses and he couldn't even realize the surface he was sitting on was liquid or hard soil. Fear wrapped around his heart as he couldn't even hear his breathing. What happened? Where was he? Why was he here? Where was everyone? He opened his mouth to speak, hoping that the sound of his own voice would calm himself down "Hello? Is there anybody here?" He asked but flinched as the sound of his voice didn't reach his ears. But Phineas knew he had spoken, he just knew it from the bottom of his heart. "Nobody's here" A booming voice replied mockingly as Phineas covered his ears, cringing when the strange noise assaulted his eardrums. Who was that? But even in his numb state, Phineas had realized how familiar the voice sounded. He just couldn't put his finger on it. A moment of utter silence and Phineas swallowed hard, trying to sound brave "I know you're here…and I am here as well…Where are we?" Bringing his hands to cover his ears, prepared to face that loud voice again, Phineas was surprised as he listened to the speaker's answer, his voice was much softer this time "No…there is no us. There is only me. And I am in my world" Phineas shook his head in confusion as he tried to understand the voice's sentence. Key word: Tried. "I-I don't understand…I am here as well…doesn't that mean there are two of us?" He asked hesitantly and looked around, trying hard to look through the dark curtain and find a way out. The voice was starting to scare him a little bit.

"Stupid child…you really have forgotten about me, haven't you?" The voice said, anger mixed with unidentified sorrow lingered on the tip of its tongue. Phineas had stood up and was now taking a few steps back, clearly afraid of the voice "I n-never know you…I can't forget what I don't know" He said, his voice wavered a little as the voice let out a bitter laugh. Where was the exit? Phineas thought as his hands waved around, trying to find a wall or a doorknob or something "I'm hurt…you really don't even have a tiny shred of memory about me left" The voice mocked him once again and Phineas shivered as he felt the voice coming closer but he couldn't see or feel anything. He just knew! Panicked, the young boy ran and ran but there was no way he could run and no place to hide. Finally, Phineas collapsed in exhaustion, his breathing was hot and sweats poured out of his forehead. He knelt on the ground, taking a shaky breath and tried hard not to vomit. "L-Leave me alone" He managed to speak weakly and held his shirt tight. His heart was beating too fast for his liking. The voice seemed to ignore him and he could feel a smile growing on the face that he couldn't see "No matter…just relax and enjoy your world" The voice said absently and Phineas felt his eyes grew heavier. "N-no…I don't want to fall asleep" He mumbled as he barely suppressed a yawn. "It was never your choice in the first place…sweet dreams, Phineas…I will take care of things from now on" The voice laughed gleefully and Phineas closed his eyes, falling and falling. Before letting the darkness envelop him completely, the pre-teen voiced his thought out loud "Why does the voice sound so much like my own voice?" Phineas couldn't hear the answer anymore as he felt a pair of warm arms wrapped around him and he fell asleep. The voice chuckled and said quietly, trying not to wake the sleeping boy up "Dim-witted boy. Haven't I told you before? There is no us. There is only me. I am talking to myself…"

Currently…

The thick silence inside the room was suffocating. Neither Phineas nor Ferb wanted to start the conversation first as they only stared at each other in complete silence. The silence was not strange for Ferb but for Phineas, staying stilled and studying something quietly like that wasn't his characteristic. At last, Phineas nodded and leaned against the wall, trying to find a more comfortable position "Hmm…how can I begin this?" He mused to himself and tapped his cheek, ignoring Ferb as the other boy folded his hands and placed them neatly in his lap, concentrated on studying the changes of Phineas. He was pulled out of his thoughts as Phineas clapped his hands together and grinned "Ah, I know how to start this…okay…so, answer this question, Ferb" He paused, watching Ferb cocked his head in confusion but nodded slightly, indicated that the younger boy had had the older boy's attention "Hmm…the question is…if I tell you that I'm about to leave this family, what will you do? How will you react? What will you think? Huh?" Ferb's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he thought of the appropriate answers, his mind was working rapidly to try and understand why Phineas had asked such strange questions.

"Well…" The older boy started and paused, searching for his words carefully before continued in that same monotone "if you said that you would leave the family, then…" Ferb paused once again, taking in Phineas' impatient expression. At least one thing wasn't changed. Phineas was still impatient as ever. "Then…I would leave with you" He finished his sentence and reached out for the glass of water on the nightstand, taking a small sip of water and observed Phineas' reaction. There were too many reasons for his answer. First of all, he wanted to take care of Phineas. He didn't want his stepbrother to get hurt and from times to times, the other boy tended to have a misfortune streak. Secondly, Ferb wanted to know why Phineas left and he knew that staying home wouldn't do a thing. Thirdly, it was one of his more selfish reasons but Ferb wanted to know more about the world. It was true that Phineas and he had travelled to many places but to stay there more than one day…never. He wanted to learn new cultures, study new things, seeing new technologies. Ferb could go on and on the reasons he should leave with Phineas but he knew the other wouldn't appreciate it if he started his rambling and so, Ferb kept his silence, like usual. Watching Phineas from the corner of his eyes, Ferb took another sip of water.

The red headed was staring at him hard like he was evaluating Ferb, his eyes lingered on the older boy's hands and he nodded, seemingly pleased with what he had heard "Alright then…I'm going to leave this place" Phineas announced suddenly. Ferb had already expected this kind of announcement only nodded calmly and placed the glass of water down "When will you leave then?" He asked, found it strangely pleasing not to be interrupted every time he tried to speak something. Phineas eyed Ferb as he crossed his hands and looked at the window thoughtfully. It was the second day after New Year and the weather was nice, if not slightly cold. Phineas could see a few birds flying on the blue sky and he heard someone laughed from the far distance. Turning back to look at Ferb, the younger boy smirked. The smirk was so dark and calculated that the atmosphere inside the room darkened considerably. Phineas' face twisted into something completely different from the carefree expression had just worn on his face a few minutes ago "It depends…when can you leave?" Ferb closed his eyes, tuned out all the noises to focus on thinking only. His face took a concentrating look as he pondered his answer. It turned out the answer was easier than he thought "I will have to pack our things. I think it will probably take about-"

"Hey, boys…look who's with us!" Linda said cheerfully as she pushed the door opened, accidentally interrupted Ferb as the boy was about to finish his answer. Ferb shot his Mother an annoyed look, which disappeared the moment her eyes landed on him. Phineas just looked at Ferb with a look that clearly said 'this conversation is not over' as he turned to face his guest with a smile on his face "Hey, Isabella…how are you today?" Isabella's smile brightened when she saw that Phineas was indeed alright. She hadn't had an easy week. Despite the fact that she did nothing to harm him, Isabella still blamed herself for telling the other fireside girls to place the boxes too near to Phineas, causing them to fall over his head. She had cried her eyes out on the first day and refused to come out of her room until practically every fireside girl came and coaxed her out. She was getting better and better but a part of her still feared that Phineas would be mad at her.

She fidgeted a little; her hands touched the doorframe as she shyly hid behind it. Ferb greeted her with a nod as Phineas chuckled and called out "Why do you have to hide? I'm not mad at you or anything" Feeling a little braver, Isabella stopped hiding and stepped into the room, her pink dress swayed slightly as she walked. "Hey, Phineas, Ferb…what cha doin'?" She asked with a smile. Phineas grinned back at her and answered her question with another chuckle "Well, nothing much…just talking." Phineas finished lamely. He eyed Isabella and dark amusement flashed in his eyes before he commented nonchalantly "You look really pretty today, Izzy". Ferb raised an eyebrow, watching Isabella as the girl became absolutely stilled in stunned silence before her face flushed bright red. 'Is he doing this on purpose?' Ferb wondered as he saw the corner of Phineas' lips subtly curled upward. "U-uhm…t-thanks, Phin" Isabella said shyly.

Linda smiled, seemingly happy with the cute reactions of Isabella "Isabella, would you like to eat with us? I buy enough food for you to eat, too" The woman said and raised her packet, revealing 3 lunch boxes. "Sure, Mrs. Flynn…if you don't mind" Isabella smiled adorably before taking a lunch box from the woman. Taking a seat opposite to Ferb and on the left side of Phineas' bed, Isabella cocked her head to one side and asked curiously "How cha feelin'?" Phineas grinned and watched Ferb before turning back to the girl and answered "I'm feeling great! In fact, I think I might be able to build something if I can get my tool box" Across the room, Candace was silently fuming. Her little brothers were purposely ignoring her, she just knew it! And now, they dared to announce that they would build something in front of their Mom. They were so busted! Candace yelled angrily "Mom! Mom! You heard them! They want to build something! Mom!" She jumped up and down and pointed a finger toward Phineas who was smiling at her innocently.

"Dear...Phineas is injured…I'm sure he can't build anything here…Shh" Linda tried to calm her daughter down as the girl frowned, irritated by her Mother's distrust of her claim "But Mom…" Candace whined. Phineas had been entertained enough by this show and the young boy restrained himself from laughing and settled with a wide grin instead, carefully letting his cold eyes bore into his sister's eyes "Candace…I'm sad…you don't believe me at all…I won't get into troubles, I promise" The boy said sweetly to his sister which did nothing to calm her nerves. Phineas never talked sweetly like that to anyone. Candace's nose wrinkled in disgust. His voice sounded like it had been coated in sugar and it sent chills down her spine. She locked eyes with him and suddenly, Candace gasped. Those were the coldest eyes she had ever seen. They contained only cold hatred, icy rage and dark revenge - a bad combination and those eyes did not belong to anyone let alone to Phineas. Subconsciously, Candace took a step backward, distanced herself from the person on the bed with her brother's face. "Candace, honey…are you alright?" Linda asked worriedly as she saw her daughter's action. Candace gave her Mother a nervous smile and answered hurriedly "Y-yeah, Mom…I'm fine…just remember that I have something to do at home…I will see you later…b-bye" She said and practically ran out of the door, leaving a confused Mother behind. Lawrence just stared at her stepdaughter; his face molded into a confused expression "What happened?" He asked and Phineas shrugged "I don't know, Dad…maybe she forgot to do her homework?" Linda nodded, unconvinced "I will go and check up on her…" The Mother announced and left the two remained boxes on the nightstand "Lawrence, make sure the children eat properly, okay? Especially Ferb…" She said and placed a kiss on her husband's cheek "Love you, honey" She said and walked out of the door as Lawrence absently nodded "Love you, too" He replied and sat down on one of the chairs.

"Are you boys going to tell me what you discussed about?" The man asked after a minute of silence. Phineas chewed his food slowly and swallowed before answered in a cheerful tongue "Just the usual stuff, Dad…nothing to worry about…it's not like I'm planning to leave or anything" He grinned as he heard Ferb snorted slightly but the older boy continued to eat his food, paying only mild attention to the current conversation. As far as he knew, he wasn't included in this. Lawrence reached out to mess with Phineas' hair, which the boy avoided and yelled out, laughing "Dad! You're embarrassing me!" Lawrence just chuckled and teased back, an action which he rarely did "Serve you right for making us so worry like that"

Isabella, who had kept her silence the whole time and was watching the father-and-son interaction, suddenly tensed. Phineas paused and looked at her curiously "Are you alright, Isabella? What happened? You don't like the food?" Isabella shook her head and looked at her lap, the food was temporarily abandoned "N-no…the food is alright…it's just…I'm…" She said hesitantly and pressed her fingers together in an unusual display of shyness "…I'm sorry that the fireside girls have hurt you" She blurted out finally and looked down at her lap, the tremendous guilt weighted heavily on her shoulders. She looked up as she felt a hand touched her shoulder and Phineas was smiling at her with one of his kindest smile "It's alright, Izzy…really, I'm fine now…see? I for-" Whatever he was planning to say got stuck in his vocal as he managed to cough out "I'm not mad at you or anyone" He smiled and Isabella felt her heart soared. He was not mad at her!

Phineas, meanwhile, was observing Isabella's reaction very carefully. He knew that whatever plan he might have later would depend on her reaction and when he saw that she hadn't realized that he couldn't say the word 'forgive', Phineas was confident enough that he continued his next move. He leaned forward and without a word, his lips brushed softly against her cheek. It couldn't be mistaken for anything else than a kiss but it wasn't a loving kiss, either. Chuckling to himself, Phineas leaned against the wall again. He would let the audiences work out what kinds of kiss that was. Isabella, for her part, was too shocked to say anything. Phineas just kissed her! Phineas really just KISSED her! Her eyes automatically snapped to the calendar, checking for the day to memorize it for the rest of her life before her brain repeated again, the knowledge fully sank in. Phineas just kissed her! The girl did the only logical thing she could think of at that moment.

She fainted.

Ferb stopped eating to look at Phineas and Isabella, his eyes locked with Phineas and he gave a small gesture with his head toward Isabella's limp form like he wanted to ask 'Is it really necessary?' Phineas, as usual, could read his thought and nodded pleasantly "Yes, yes it is". Ferb shrugged and looked down as his half-eaten lunch before taking another bite. He guessed it was time for Phineas to realize Isabella's love. Lawrence couldn't contain his amused chuckle anymore and the man gave Phineas a look before standing up and spoke, his amusement lingered in his voice "Please, excuse me, boys…I need to carry the young lady back to her house and explain why she fainted…I don't want people to have any funny ideas after all…" He picked up Isabella easily and began to walk out. Ferb looked up and called out "Father," His voice was louder than usual and Lawrence stopped at the door. Turning his head to face Ferb, the man asked, a little confused "Yes, Ferb?"

Flashed of memories about Lawrence appeared in front of Ferb's eyes. The Christmas' Eve when his Father hugged him, held his hand and before that, his Father was always there to help them, silently and without wanting anything back. He remembered the time when Phineas hadn't been a part of his life, when his Father had just divorced and how the man had tried his best to fill the void inside Ferb's heart. He remembered every bedtime story his Father had told him and he remembered the lullabies his Father had sung him to sleep, the man's voice was bad even if the lullabies were beautiful and Ferb remembered how he felt comforted by those gestures, how he had freely broken down in front of the man without shame. Taking a deep breath, Ferb said with a small smile "Thank you…" Lawrence was still looking puzzled "For what, Ferb?" The boy didn't answer and Lawrence shrugged before closing the door and carried Isabella out. His son was always an odd ball and sometimes, the man had a hard time understood what was running in his son's head. As he was completely sure that Lawrence was out of the earshot, Ferb finished "…for…everything".

Phineas didn't interrupt or ask Ferb any questions, which the older boy felt very grateful. He didn't and wouldn't admit it but leaving was a hard decision for Ferb. Leaving a day was one thing but leaving for who-knows-how-long was a completely different story. Ferb finished his lunch in silence and stood up. Ditching the remains into the wasted basket, he turned around and said abruptly "…give me till Sunday to…prepare" Phineas grinned and nodded "It's fine…I'll still have to wait until I can be out of here anyway…being coped up isn't my style." He looked at the window curiously and asked his best friend/stepbrother "Speaking of leaving… when can I be released?" Ferb didn't reply and instead, he walked to the calendar and tapped on it. 'The day after tomorrow? Good.' Phineas' grin widened slightly. The pre-teen scratched his head, looking very uncomfortable "Ferb? Would you mind giving me the tool box? I think I will go crazy if I don't invent something soon" Ferb didn't comment but instead, he took out the tool box from under the bed, and offered it to Phineas who took it gratefully. Looking around as if he was searching for something, Phineas asked Ferb, genuinely curious "Hey, where's Perry?"

"Ouch! Ouch! OUCH!" Doctor Heinz Doofenshmirtz yelled as he felt a kick from his sworn nemesis connected to his jaw, bringing him to the ground. He screamed to the platypus, one hand holding his cheek gently "What was that for? What the hell happened to you, Perry the platypus?" Since Christmas' Eve, the secret agent had been extremely violent to him. Every day, instead of thinking of a scheme and waiting for his nemesis like normal, Doofenshmirtz had begun to fear Perry's visit. He didn't understand what had happened to the platypus that made him react this strongly. He was sure he hadn't shot him with the Violent-inator. He wasn't sure if he had ever created that machine. Being forced to roll to one side to dodge another bunch, Doofenshmirtz grasped a pipe on the table and blocked Perry's attacks "Look here, I don't know what the hell happened to you but I swear it has nothing to do with me. Hell, I can't even fire anything for the past few days because of you so would you MIND STOPPING THIS CRAZY ATTACK AND EXPLAINING THING TO ME FOR ONCE?" However, apparently, Perry didn't share the same thought and with one swift movement, the agent shattered the steel pipe, making Doofenshmirtz defenseless. The Evil Scientist raised a hand to cover his head in a familiar movement – a reaction that everyone who was often hit in the head had. Perry halted as he looked at the source of his anger, his rage melted a bit as he realized this was the exact position of a child that was often abused or bullied but then his blood boiled again as he remembered Phineas' lifeless form. This man was the one that had harmed his owner indirectly with his useless invention.

His teeth chattered angrily and he grasped the scientist's collar, slamming the man's head into the ground. The man immediately passed out, blood seeped from his nose into the floor and Perry glared at the unconscious Doofenshmirtz once again before turning away. He moved stiffly to the man's latest invention and pushed the self-destruct button, instantly created a small explosion. His watch gave a small beep and he cocked his head to a side and raised his hand, waiting for his boss to give out the next order or announce something. Major Monogram appeared on the small screen as a 3D picture and he cleared his throat. Looking at the mess his agent had made, the Major coughed to hide a nervous smile and he said, trying to keep his voice professional "Err… Good job, Agent P. You can take the rest of the day off…I have some good news for you. Look like your owner has awakened and he's looking for you. Monogram out." Perry allowed a small smile to make the corner of his mouth curled upward and he nodded.

Walking to the edge of the building and jumped down, Perry wondered how the rest of the family was doing. Maybe now that Phineas had woken up, he should be gentler to Doofenshmirtz. Shaking his head, the platypus looked at the city bellow; he would think about that later, now he had a house to go back. But wait a minute; hadn't Candace planned on making him take a bath later today? Perry sighed thoughtfully; maybe he should just visit Phineas directly in the hospital instead of coming home.

As Candace stopped running to take a deep, shaky breath, she felt someone touched her shoulder and she automatically jumped. Turning around, Candace sighed in relief when she realized it was just Jeremy "Hey, Jeremy…why are you here?" She asked and tried to straighten her skirt, feeling ugly since she hadn't put up any make-up today in favor of arriving to the hospital early to check up on her brothers. "Well, I just visited a friend…he had a little accident and well…he broke an arm" Candace nodded her head in understand and looked down, suddenly thought the floor was very interesting. Her distress must have shown on her face as Jeremy abandoned his smile, his face adopted a worried expression "What happened, Candace? Is Phineas alright?" Candace's throat tightened as her brother's name was mentioned but she nodded, unable to form her words. "Then why do you look like that? Candace…look into my eyes and answer me, please" Jeremy gently cupped her chin and forced her to look into his sky blue eyes.

Candace shifted her gaze to meet her boyfriend's and her lips quivered. Jeremy looked alarmed by now; his mind was racing a mile an hour and tried to figure out what had made his love so emotional. He could see the confusion, the sadness and the guilt swirled in those beautiful eyes and before he could react, Candace hugged him very tightly and began to cry. Jeremy, still confused, just patted her back and carefully leaded her to an empty bench. They both sat down and without any words, Candace began to tell her tale. She told him about the Christmas' Eve, how she had been mad because her Christmas was ruined and she hadn't been able to give Jeremy his gift, she told him about Santa, how she had yelled at her brother and how she had felt after that. She told him that she had expected forgiveness, the unconditional kind of forgiveness she had always received from her brothers and she told him about today. She described the chills, how her brother's smiles hadn't reached his eyes, how she felt when she saw the icy rage behind those normally cheerful blue orbs. Jeremy didn't interrupt her, not even for once as he held her hand and listened to her words. Finally, he cleared his voice and spoke quietly "I think I understand the problem…"

Candace looked at Jeremy with red, puffy eyes and sniffed "You do?" She asked, her voice was hoarse because of all the crying. Jeremy nodded solemnly and replied "Yes…the problem is…you haven't expected this kind of reactions from him…like you have said before, you had expected him to forgive you like he always did…and you felt shocked when he didn't." He tightened his hold on her hand as Candace looked down and sniffed. Jeremy continued "…and maybe you haven't completely forgiven him for what had happened on Christmas' Eve…" Candace opened her mouth to speak but Jeremy shook his head, asking her not to interrupt him and she became silent once again "…maybe you just need some time…both of you. Maybe you can do something nice for him, Candace…baking for him, giving him a card…something like that. He will understand…but you will have to admit something to me, your words were harsh…intentionally or unintentionally, you have hurt him. Maybe his wounds need something else to heal and not just medicine and a bed… I'm not trying to accuse you or anything but I'll be honest with you…"Jeremy finished and everything was silent. Candace could feel her heart beat fast when she was sitting this near to him. Candace looked at her boyfriend and bit her bottom lip. Maybe her words had been harsh…maybe Phineas was just as shocked as her when she said that…Maybe Jeremy was right and he just needed some time to cool down. Candace felt Jeremy squeezed her hand gently and she gave him a small, teary smile "you're right, Jeremy…my words…they were too harsh…I will make it up for Phineas…I promise"

"Candace, there…you…are" Linda panted as she caught up with her daughter, sweats ran down her forehead. Jeremy and Candace looked up as they saw Linda walked to the pair, a hand held tightly on her stomach "Why… did… you… run… away? Oh, Hello… Jeremy…" The woman asked between each heavy breath and greeted Jeremy who just gave her a shy wave "Hello, Mrs. Flynn. Nice to see you, too." Jeremy gave Candace a reassuring squeeze and the girl squeezed back before answered in a nervous voice "I'm just…. Happy to see my brother wakes up, that's all, Mom" She laughed nervously but held Jeremy's hand tighter when Linda observed her puffy eyes "Candace…why did you cry?" Jeremy looked at his girlfriend and answered for her "Ah well, Mrs. Flynn… it's just…Candace is happy to see his brother wakes up so she's quite…emotional and she's…err…afraid that her brothers would take it the wrong way so she came out here to… release her tears" He scratched the back of his head and winced mentally 'That's got to be the worst explanation ever…'

Fortunately for the teens, Linda seemed to accept Jeremy's explanation and she gave her daughter a gentle smile "Silly dear, it's okay to cry in happiness, you know…do you want to go back? I think Phineas misses you" Candace glanced quickly at Jeremy and shook her head "I think I'll pass this time…I have something to…err" Jeremy smiled and nodded, encouraged her to continue. Candace took a deep breath and finished her sentence "…to prepare something nice for him when he comes back…" Linda's smile widened and she hugged her daughter "I'm proud of you…" Candace hugged her mother back and said after a moment of silence "…uhm…I'll just go home now, Mom… I'll see you later" The woman nodded and let go of Candace, who had grasped Jeremy's hand and walked away "Bye, Mom…and don't come to the kitchen until I finish, okay?" Linda chuckled and replied "sure, dear…"

As they both walked out of the Hospital, Candace stopped to take out her cellphone. Flipping it opened, Candace pushed the familiar button "Yes, Candace…what is it this time?" Her best friend – Stacy Hirano answered the call almost immediately. Candace played with her red lock of hair, a nervous habit she had developed since she met Jeremy "Hey, Stacy…are you free right now?" She bit her bottom lip, waiting for a reply as she stared at the street, thinking of a plan to make amends with Phineas and Ferb, too. "Yes, I am…do you need my help in anything?" Stacy asked, her voice turned curious suddenly. Candace nodded even though her friend didn't see it and answered "Yeah…I'm trying to…make it up for Phineas and Ferb and…well, I'm thinking of cooking something nice for them…you know…being a sister and all" Candace finished awkwardly. She wasn't afraid to ask help from her friends but this was the first time she had asked Stacy to help her do something nice to Phineas, a fact that she rarely, if ever, did "That's a great idea…Candace…I'm coming to your house" Stacy announced and cut off the connection abruptly. Candace held Jeremy's hand and practically dragged him to her house, feeling very energetic of all sudden "Let's go, Jeremy…It's a race to see who will come home first. Me or Stacy" As she was dragging Jeremy away, she didn't notice the smile on his lips or the mutters under his breath "That's my girl."
