Phineas opened his eyes slowly as his head stopped spinning. He was a little alarmed when he found he couldn't move his body at all except for his head. His vision was a little blurry, but he could hear a voice.
"Oh, good, you're awake," Heinz said relieved as he approached, and Phineas' eyesight cleared, "Glad to see you're okay."
"Ugh," Phineas groaned weakly, "Where am I? Aren't you that pharmacist that built the machine that almost caused that apocalypse?"
Heinz groaned in frustration, "I'm not a pharmacist. Just leave it at you remember me from that night, and I saved your life."
Phineas shrugged- -mentally since his shoulders were stuck in the cast- -, and that's when he realized his body was in a cast. Heinz grabbed a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and he scooped a spoonful. Phineas realized without the use of his arms, he can't do anything on his own. Realizing Heinz's gesture, he opened his mouth, and Heinz gently fed him.
"So, as you can see, I have you in a full body cast because you, well, broke a lot of bones...like every bone in your body. You'll have to stay here until you can move again, and until then, I'll take care of you. You're going to be pretty helpless for a long time while you cover. If you want to sit up a little bit, let me know, and I'll adjust your cast a bit so you're able to sit up a little," he explained as he gave Phineas spoonfuls of soup.
Phineas didn't have to chew the noodles and chicken all that much, but still, he swallowed before speaking like the polite, mannered sweetheart he was, "What about my family?"
Heinz gave a small huff of thought. He hadn't even thought about his family. Oddly enough, Perry the Platypus went missing. He'd explained he couldn't break his cover in front of Phineas.
"Dr. D?" Phineas asked as the scientist he carefully positioned the cast so that the boy was at least leaning against a pillow, "I was wondering if I could call my sister."
"You don't have use of your arms," Heinz remarked.
"Her number is in my cellphone. Could you find it and just hold it up to my ear for me? Please? She must be so worried about me. It's been hours since I fell, and I'd like to let her know I'm at least alive."
Heinz sighed, and he grabbed Phineas' cellphone- -he'd placed all of Phineas' necessary belongings in a box when he cleared his pockets before he put the cast on- -. Heinz went into his contacts- -after spending thirty seconds of trying to figure out Phineas' phone- -he scrolled along. Giving Phineas a look of confusion, Phineas realized he didn't know the name of his sisters. Sure the night with the pharmazombies happened, but nobody really got to know each other's names. After a small giggle of embarrassment, Phineas provided Heinz with the name he was searching for. After tapping it, he held the phone up to Phineas' ear.
Marissa had given up waiting by her phone for a call, so she was sitting on her bed drawing as usual. She jumped and accidentally made a large mark across her drawing when she suddenly heard Phineas' ringtone. She looked down at her paper at the mark she'd made. She shrugged and giggled. Good thing it was the rough draft. Hearing the second vibrate, she jumped off the bed- -throwing all her drawing stuff all over the bed and on the floor- -and rolled to the dresser where she had her phone charging.
"Hello?!" she answered.
"Marissa?"
"Oh my gosh...Phineas! Are you okay? Where are you?!"
"Calm down, Marissa. I'm fine...well sort of."
"You haven't been kidnapped, have you?"
"What? No! Okay, listen up. You remember when we fought the pharmaceutical zombies, and we met Dr. D?"
"Yeah."
"That's where I am. He found me on the ground I guess, and he took me home with him to patch me up."
Marissa didn't know what to think at this moment. She was glad her brother was alive and seemed okay, but why call her from there if he's patched up now?
"Can you come home now?"
"Not exactly. You see, I'm in a…" Phineas was nervous to say, "full body cast. All my bones were broken from the incident I guess."
Marissa's eyes widened, not only at her brother's injuries, but that he wouldn't be able to come home for DAYS. The silence worried Phineas, but he heard her gulp. Heinz then took the phone.
"Hello?"
Marissa cleared her throat, "Sorry, I just, um, how long will- -Wait you're that- -"
"If you say pharmacist, I'm going to scream," Heinz warned.
Message received, Marissa nodded, "You're that guy that helped us build the vortex sprayer. Anyway, so you saved my brother?"
"Yup."
"And, um…" Marissa bit her lip, "how long will my brother be staying in your care?"
"Probably until he recovers, which might be a long time. You can visit if you'd like. You remember where I live?"
There was no answer…
"Hello? Marissa Flynn?"
Still no answer.
"Miss Fly-," Heinz was interrupted by the knock of the door, "Hold on a second."
Heinz went to open the door, and Marissa stood there a little out of breath.
"Wow, did you run all the way here?" Heinz asked.
"No, I have an app on my phone that can take me where I want to go. However I hadn't remembered the app until I'd already started sprinting," Marissa answered, catching her second wind, seeing Phineas.
Phineas shook his head with a smug grin, "Oh, Marissa."
Just a notice: this story will probably have really short chapters compared to some of my stories...so deal with it lol. Anyway leave me a review.
