Episode 2: Part 3
(Phineas v. Ferb)
A/N: Hey all. Myron Greenleaf here. :) Anyway, welcome to Episode 2 Part 3 of Switching Personalities.
I would like to thank every person that reviewed last time. And I'm gonna start asking once again for people to review. I see dozens of people click on this story, but not many people review. So please review.
Phineas woke up not to the alarm clock, but to his brother waking him up on the floor. The alarm clock was past the time it was set to go off. Ferb probably had turned it off earlier.
"Hey Phineas, are you okay? I woke up and then I just found you on the floor?" Ferb asked. Then sat up straight and blinked. "Whoa, this is weird."
Staring in shock, and not finding it within himself, Phineas just sat up and nodded, stretching to get the kinks out of his back that develop when one sleeps on the floor.
"Phineas, why is it that I'm talking, and not you?" Ferb asked, confusion showing on his face. Well, isn't that a first?
Still, Phineas couldn't find anything to say, so he just shrugged again.
"Yeah, this is going to get very weird throughout the day," Ferb noted.
Thinking that Ferb forgot, Phineas pointed to the backpacks leaning against the wall near the door to their room.
"Oh that's right..." Ferb facepalmed himself. "We have school beginning today as well..."
As if on cue "PHINEAS! FERB!" Linda Flynn-Fletcher called up. "Time to get ready for school! Candace is already up and ready!"
"You want to answer her, or not?" Ferb asked, trying to get his brother to talk more. Phineas desperately wanted to say yes, but already found his head shaking 'no'. With a sigh, Ferb responded. "We'll be right down!"
"Ferb?" Linda called back up, obviously confused. "Is that you? Where's Phineas? Is he still asleep?"
"No, he uh..." Ferb didn't know what to say. He had this huge urge to just talk up a storm, which was weird because usually Phineas was already doing so. "He just doesn't want to talk right now..."
Ferb could hear Linda shrug and begin to walk away while muttering "Well that is certainly strange..."
Ten minutes later, Phineas and Ferb were racing out the door, apples in hand as they raced each other to get on the bus. Ferb won because Phineas took the time to stop to allow Isabella, their neighbor on the bus before himself.
Ferb decided to sit next to Baljeet while Phineas took a seat next to Isabella. Buford was in a seat on the bus. Not that anybody would try taking a seat next to the local bully.
"Hey Phineas, what'cha doin'?" Isabella asked using her catchphrase that Phineas would hear every day of the summer.
Still unable to find the will to talk, Phineas just waved to his seat partner. Isabella thought this was weird. But wasn't in for what she was about to hear.
Ferb looked up over the seat. "Hey Isabella."
This left Isabella in shock. "Hi... Ferb... So why is Phineas not talking and Ferb talking?"
"No idea," Ferb admitted. "We just woke up like this, me talking too much while Phineas here isn't talking enough. Phineas nodded his head in agreement.
"What?" Baljeet popped his head up. "I heard that Ferb is talking more than Phineas. Is it true?"
"Yes," Isabella said sadly before turning back to Ferb. "So do you guys want help to fix it?"
Phineas nodded his head, Ferb replied. "Sure."
"Good that's settled then," Isabella said. Isabella and Baljeet turned their heads to Phineas, waiting for his catchphrase to come out.
...
That was when Ferb spoke up, not sure why he was saying anything in the first place. "Hey guys, I know what we're gonna do today."
"Okay, this is going to be such a weird day..." Baljeet commented. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
