It was 6:15AM the next day. Everyone had arrived, but looked really tired which wasn't too surprising, all except Mandy who had an early night sleep. We find Billy, Mandy, Grim and Irwin waiting at the bus stop, not far from them was Mindy, Sperg, Pud'n and Junior.

Billy quickly walked to the four. "So, what are you gonna do?" he said with a stupid grin slapped across his face.

Junior shrugged his shoulders. "Whatever we can do at a village I suppose."

Pud'n flinched. "Probably avoid all the bugs and smelly strangers like I did last time."

"Make every kid eat dirt!" Sperg then pointed to Billy. "Starting with you, big nose!"

"That's none of your business loser!" scoffed Mindy as she rolled her eyes.

With that, Billy made his way back to Mandy and Irwin. "We're gonna have fun!"

"Yeah right." Said Mandy sarcastically.

"I know! Isn't it gonna be fun?" said the excited Irwin, oblivious to Mandy's sarcasm. He then leaned closer to her. "Best part is that you and I can get some alone time." He said trying to sound seductive but came out sounding nerdy. Mandy responded by punching Irwin in the stomach making him fall onto his knees.

After about fifteen minutes, the bus arrived, and all the students walked into it and got onto their chosen seats. Billy and Mandy sat next to each other, Irwin and Junior were behind Billy and Mandy, Sperg sat next to Pud'n on the opposite side, Mindy sat with another popular girl at the far back and Grim sat on his own near the middle. After a few minutes of safety instructions which no one listened to except for the nerds, the bus began to drive off.

Billy constantly talked to everyone he was near, Mandy just looked out the window ignoring Billy, Irwin was playing with his calculator, Mindy was fixing her makeup, Sperg was flexing his muscles, Pud'n was eating a chocolate bar, Junior played on a portable console and Grim was taking a nap. Every other student was either talking, playing on electronic devices or eating snacks.

But surprisingly, the bus had stopped. This confused everyone, they were not expecting a sudden stop at another bus station, it was scheduled to only stop at two service stations and this was neither of them. It was at that point, the door opened and there a fresh new face entered the bus.

It was a boy with a triangular shaped head, red spiky hair, blue eyes, he wore a yellow and orange striped t-shirt, denim shorts and a pair of dark blue and white shoes with long bright blue socks. He carried a green backpack behind him.

"Alright class." Said the Principal as he stood up and faced the students. "I forgot to mention this, but we are having an exchange student for this trip, I understand it's a little bit odd to have an exchange student for a fieldtrip, but we figured it would be a good idea to try something new."

The principal then placed his hand near the boy. "And coming from Danville... this is our exchange student, Phineas Flynn."

"Hi there." the boy named Phineas responded, with a few hellos here and there.

'Danville!?' Thought Mandy with slight intrigue. 'That's the town the Ruby was stolen from.' She looked at the boy who walked further along the bus.

Phineas noticed that the only seat available was next to Grim, who had woken up a few minutes ago. "Uh, hi." Phineas said looking a little surprised.

"Hey." Grim replied as he moved onto the next seat to let Phineas in.

"Can't say I see a tall talking skeleton every day." Phineas said as he sat next to him.

"Always a first time fer everything. Names Grim"

"Nice to meet you."

The bus ride continued once again, and everyone went back to their usual antics, only this time, Grim kept up his conversation with the new boy. Mandy herself, looked on at Phineas, since he was from the town the Cyclops Ruby was stolen, she wondered if he knew anything about it, she sighed doubting it and went back to looking out the window.

About an hour passed and everything felt the same, only this time Grim had laughed a few times, his conversation with Phineas had changed from small talk to pretty much becoming good friends having a great time.

"Did she seriously do dat!?" Asked Grim with an amused look on him.

"Yeah, we seriously didn't expect Candace to be scared of snakes, the moment she saw the toy in the bathtub, she immediately shrieked and jumped out the window, if it wasn't for that large Bouncy City we had set up before hand, she would've gotten hurt. But the look on her face was priceless."

"Man, ya got one heck of a life. Was she mad?"

"Mad doesn't even describe it!" Phineas replied. "She looked as if she was going to explode into flames of anger. It was only meant to be a light-hearted prank, but man was I bruising."

"Did she actually beat you up?"

"Not really, she just crushed my nose again, Ferb managed to get away in time, he didn't need to outrun her, just me. But I had so much trouble breathing out of my nose for a solid week."

"Hey, be tankful it wasn't Mandy ya pranked, she would've fed ya to the dogs."

Mandy herself looked on over to Grim and Phineas, she then rolled her eyes at how pathetic they were.

"Boy, Grim's sure getting along with the new kid. Better than us." said Billy.

"Meh, if he annoys me he'll be the last friend Grim has."

After about two hours on a bus, it finally stopped at a place called Wrail Village. A very old looking village that had a lot of train-themed locals and names.

All the students slowly made their way out of the bus, where they saw their classroom teacher, along with three more teachers, the Principal and finally a sweet old woman. "Welcome to Wrail Village! Here, we take great pride in our rail services across the state. I hope you enjoy yourself for the next two weeks. My name is Amelia. Shall we escort you to the small camp?"

Later, we find the kids outside a bunch of log cabins in a large campsite just behind the village, the insides had smooth wooden floorboards, soft beds, polished windows, each with a small plant pot and one or two air fresheners, each cabin had about ten bunk-beds, meaning twenty kids for each cabin, more than enough room. Mandy felt as if she could live here, she did have a small guilty pleasure of log cabins, but she wasn't sure why.

"I trust you'll find these rooms and beds to be to your liking." said Amelia "Now allow me to show you around the village!"

As the kids began to follow the old woman and teachers back to the village, Mandy felt a strange sensation, she looked around, seeing the trees, the buildings, the mild weather and the sky. For some reason, she was feeling a dreadful sense of déjà vu, but why?
