"Phineas! Ferb! For the last time, summer vacation is over!" Linda called from the bottom of the stairs."You two better not make me come up there!" At that moment, the two teens slid down the railing.
"Morning, Mom! What's for breakfast?"
"Good morning, Mum."
"Good morning Phineas, Ferb. I made eggs with bacon and bagels."
"All right!" Phineas ran into the kitchen.
"Bacon!" Ferb ran after him.
"Good morning, everyone!" Lawrence called.
"Mornin'!" Phineas managed to say in between bites.
"Good morning, Father!"
"Ferb! Slow Down!" The green-haired teen looked at his mother, mouth opened, about to bite into the bacon.
"I haven't had your bacon in a long time. You never cook it." Linda shook her head.
"You two got everything ready for the first day of school?" The brothers nodded.
"Hey," Phineas looked around. "Where's Perry?" Ferb shrugged.
"Boys," Linda called. "The school bus."
"Huh? It's here? Well, alright then," The boys quickly finished their food, grabbed their bags, and headed toward the door. "See ya later!"
"Bye!"
"Have a good day! And Ferb," The British born teen turned to his mother. "Please be careful. If anything happens - "
"Will do, Mum! Don't worry. Nothing will happen!"
"And if anything does happen," Phineas smiled smugly. "I'll protect him."
"You'd better protect yourself first, shrimp." Ferb replied, flicking his younger brother on the forehead. And with that, the teens stepped out the door.
~Doobie Doobie Doo Ba!~
Perry sat on the chair in his lair, facing the screen. He folded his arms.
"I don't need a partner. I can handle Doof on my own."
"Perry - " Monogram started.
"I'm one of the strongest agents here. You said it yourself."
"Per - "
"I don't need a partner when I'm so strong!"
"Your last three missions didn't go so well - "
"That doesn't mean anything! Remember the last time I had a partner?"
"This time, your partner will be an animal - "
"I don't need nor want a partner!"
"Agent P, you are getting a partner, whether you like it or not!" Perry, letting out a loud growl, stood up and slammed his fists onto the dashboard. It broke in two, and made the screen go off. Monogram walked up from behind the wall.
"Perry the Platypus!" he shouted. Perry turned around, and growling, stormed out of the room. Monogram looked at the dashboard and sighed.

"Ferb! I'm a freshman!"
"Phineas! I'm a sophomore! The step-brothers fist-bumped.
"Hey, Phineas!" The redhead turned around and saw Isabella standing in front of him. Before he could speak, she sauntered closer, wrapped her arms around they boy's neck, and leaned in close. Isabella and Phineas were nose to nose. Phineas laughed.
"Now what are you doing?"
"What, me? Just talking to one of my best friends. How bout you? Whatcha doin'?"
"Talking to you! Aren't you glad to finally be in high school?"
"You bet!" Isabella let go, and turned. "Hey, Ferb! You glad to be a sophomore?" Ferb noded. "Hey, thought you were talking more?"
"I am."
"He is. Hey, we should be getting to homeroom. Don't wanna be late on the first day."
"I'm nowhere near my homeroom." Ferb waved goodbye, turned around...and ran into a blue-haired girl.
"Whoops! Sorry about that, miss!"
"No, no, it was my fault. Should've watched where I was going." Ferb stared at the girl. She stared back.
"Oh, my gosh." Ferb stated, suddenly shocked. He stepped back.
"What's wrong?"
"Y-you...We...we know each other…"
"Are you sure? 'Cause I don't think - " She paused, also stepping away. "Oh! Oh my gosh, I have met you before. Aren't you - yes, you're - !"
"Jamie!" A blue-haired boy marched up to them and grabbed the blue-haired girl's hand. "We've got to get to homeroom! Stop talking to strangers!"
"But - wait - Jay - gah!" She turned back. "Ah, um, I'll talk to you later, Ferb!" He waved, a strange look on his face.
"Who was that?" Phineas inquired.
"...That was - "
"Guys!" The boys turned to Isabella. "The bell - " The second bell rang.
"Oh, damn!" Ferb ran through the hall.
"Bye!" Phineas ran toward his homeroom.
"Later, Phin!" Isabella ran in the other direction.
Alright, recap time (yes, I'm still doing this)!
