It's going to be a little while before I update. Please review. I am always looking for ideas. :)
"Who's there?"
The trio stopped in their tracks and turned towards the fence. Did they hear a question or were they just hearing things?
"Hello?"
It was definitely real. Isabella walked toward the fence, trying to look over to see who it was that asked the questions. Phineas shook his head and walked over to the struggling girl. He grasped her waist and lifted her high enough to see over.
"Oh, hello. I thought I heard someone over there. Who are you?" The curly brunette girl asked.
"Hi! My name is Isabella. I live across the street. There are two other people here with me that actually live in this house here. Would you like to meet them?"
"It would be nice to meet some people our own age here." She glanced up at the sky. "I think we can come over for a few minutes to meet you properly." She tapped the other two girls who followed her to their gate.
Phineas was struggling to keep Isabella up, but slowly put her down on the ground as the girls walked through their back gate. They were wearing the same black clothing they arrived in.
"This is Phineas and Ferb." Isabella began. They both just nodded their heads as she continued. "Like I mentioned, they live here. What are your names?"
The older blonde spoke up, "I'm Faith, this is Lynn," pointing to the brunette, "and the young one here is Serenity."
"I am not that young! We're only 4 years apart!" Serenity argued. Faith just rolled her eyes at the outburst.
"How old are you? I'm just curious." Ferb spoke up. Isabella and Phineas were shocked at how quickly Ferb decided to speak in front of the newcomers.
"Oh, I'm 11. I turn 12 in a few days! Lynn, here, is 14 and Faith is 16."
"We have a sister that's your age, Faith! Her name is Candace." Phineas mentioned. "She should be home soon, if she's not already home. Would you like to meet her? That way you would know someone closer to your age too. She could introduce you to Stacy and Jeremy."
"Sure." Faith didn't seem very enthusiastic. Isabella couldn't hold her question any longer.
"Where did you guys come from?"
"Well, I could give you a smart-ass answer, but we just met you so I'll let it slide. We've moved all over the place, but we're originally from Steel City. We jump around so often that I don't remember the last friends we had." Lynn answered. "But, I think this is where we might stay for a while. Longer than the others. Our dad might have found a decent job this time, as long as-"
"Lynn!" Faith interjected, giving Lynn a look that seemed to translate to, 'don't go there.' Phineas, Isabella, and Ferb had confused expressions on their faces. What was she going to say? She glanced at the sky before continuing. "Anyway, thank you guys for letting us come over and introduce ourselves. Our parents don't really like us going outside, let alone meeting anyone our own age. We should get back before our mom notices and before dad goes to work."
"Your dad works at night?" Isabella asked.
"Yea. Graveyard shift at the hospital and sleeps during the day. He doesn't mind it. I mean, he is used to it anyway, might as well find a job that fits that." Serenity mentioned. At this point, Phineas' mind is going into hyperdrive. Up at night, asleep during the day, hospitals have supplies of blood...is he a vampire?
"Nice to meet you then. See you around." Ferb quickly said as the girls turned and walked out their gate to their house. "Alright, shall we take the flying devices off before we completely forget about them?" This broke Isabella and Phineas out of their thoughts.
"Oh yeah! We don't want to lose these, but we may need to make more." Phineas said as he started to take the device off of Isabella's back. Ferb took out a notepad, wrote down a few words, returned it to his pocket, and walked behind Phineas to take the device off his back. Once the devices were put back in the box, Ferb decided to take it back to the garage, leaving Phineas and Isabella alone in the backyard, when they heard a familiar chirping from behind them.
"Oh, there you are Perry." Phineas said as he bent down to pick him up.
"See, I told you that he always comes back around dinner time." Isabella smirked as she walked over to Phineas to pet Perry on the head. She was standing rather close to Phineas and he noticed, but decided not to say anything.
"So, what do you think of those girls?" Isabella questioned.
"They seem nice. I'm glad we got to at least meet them. My mind won't go too crazy now. What do you think of them?" Phineas asked Isabella as Ferb quietly walked back in the yard.
"They're still rather mysterious, but seem nice. I want to know more about their parents. Like, why do they move around so much and what was Lynn going to say before she got cut off? I would also like to know how they met and where they come from. Am I just too curious or what?" Isabella explained.
"You are fine. I would also like to know more about them." Ferb added, startling her. "Ha, I got you jumpy now! Success!"
"Ferb, you are a stange one." Isabella chuckled. "But, I need to get home now. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye, Phineas!"
"Bye Isabella!" Phineas blurted out before she closed the gate.
Dinner and getting ready for bed was a blur for the two brothers. Nothing was as eventful as meeting the girls next door.
Once again, sorry for it being so short. Ran head first into the ever dreaded writers block. I'll continue this soon. I would love to know what you guys think.
