[So, pretty soon here, the time will come. A legendary time. A time of great importance. A time of - am I getting all philosophical again? P.S. - Acorn Dr. is where Katie lives, and where I used to live.]
A cool summer breeze blew across Danville as Phineas walked down Acorn Drive. It was really a beautiful day. The birds were singing, it was sunny out, but Phineas had other things on his mind as he walked up the driveway of his childhood friend's house. Phineas touched the glowing orange button with the tip of his index finger. He heard the electronic recording of a bell ring from through the door. A tall woman with blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail answered the door.
"Why, hello, Phineas. What brings you here today?"
"I'm here to see Katie, if she's not busy." The young inventor sheepishly rubbed his neck.
"She's up in her room. Please come in." She ushered Phineas into her house. "Katie's room is upstairs, second door on your right."
"Alright, thank you." Phineas quickly ran up the stairs and walked down the hallway. He lightly tapped on the mahogany door.
"Who is it?" Katie said.
"Me."
"Define 'me'."
"Just let me in."
Katie giggled from behind the door. "Fine." The knob turned and Katie appeared on the other side. When she saw Phineas her smile receded. "Why are you here?"
"Can you come with me? I just need your help with something."
"What?"
"Katie," Phineas sighed. "I know you love me."
"Oh."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I knew if you found out and you didn't feel the same way, it would ruin our friendship. So I just never said anything."
"Well, we have some things to fix first." Phineas held out his hand to Katie. The young girl smiled and grabbed it. They took off out the door. This was going to be crazy...
"So, I figured the first thing we try to do is get you back in troop 46231."
"Phineas, for the eighth time, this is nice, but you don't have do do this."
"Well, I also figured this could be some time to catch up. It's been a while since we talked." On the inside, Katie was screaming her head off. Time alone with Phineas! Finally! This could be it, the moment where- "So, where do we start?" Phineas interrupted Katie's thoughts.
"Huh?"
"To get you back in 46231, where do we start?"
"Oh, well, I guess we should talk to Gretchen. Considering she's the new troop leader."
"Alright, let's go."
"Where?"
"The Fireside Girls lodge, of course."
"Wait, Phineas, I think you might want to look somewhere else..."
10 Minutes later, at the Fireside Girls secret clubhouse...
"Here we are!" Katie said, motioning towards to clubhouse.
"Great!" Phineas exclaimed. Katie began knocking on the door, but it simply slid open.
"That's weird, it's open." They entered the dark clubhouse still hand in hand, "Gretchen?" They heard a slight weeping sound from the back corner. "Gretchen? Gretchen are you okay?"
"Not really."
"Well what happened?"
"The- the other girls, they left the troop!"
[What will happen next? Will Phineas and Katie ever get together? Why am I asking you all these questions?]
