I don't own anything except for Phineas and Candace's dad, their stepmom, Ferb's mom, the teacher, and the story itself. Also, all of their heads are normal shaped. I love Phin's triangle head and Ferb's tetris head but I want their heads to be a normal head shape, please no hate. This is an alternate universe story so Phineas and Ferb will be different from what they are in the show also, there are no pairings, just friendship as well as hurt/comfort. Hope you enjoy it!

Phineas' POV

Buzz...Buzz...Buzz

"Hello?"

"PHINEAS VINCENT FLYNN, WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU AT THIS HOUR?!"

"I'm walking home from school?"

"Well, get your butt home soon or else you're in big trouble mister, GOT IT?"

"Yes dad, I'll be home in ten minutes." Geez old man, you really do have to make my life miserable now do ya?

I never asked for this life, all I wanted was a life filled with sunshine and happiness. I did have that life till my mother died in a car crash when I was four. My father, Anthony Flynn, was heartbroken. He and my mom were high school sweethearts. After my mom's death, he started to drink and drank so much that we would almost go broke and not have enough for groceries and bills. He also turned abusive and hurt me and my older sister, Candace. Candace was and still is very protective of me. She would hurt anyone who touched me, including our dad. Whenever our dad was drunk, Candace would take me to her room and keep me there till our dad went sober, but that was never for very long. As I approached my fifth birthday, my dad started to date this Australian woman named Nicole Wilson. Nicole is just as bad as my father, maybe even worse. She's really hateful but just like my father, she is abusive and alcoholic. Both of them abuse me and Candace physically and mentally, causing my severe depression and Candace's protectiveness over me being very strong. To make things worse, she married my father when I was seven, making her my stepmother. Sometimes I wonder what my life would've been if my mom hadn't died, maybe my dad would still be kind...just like he used to be.

As I approached my house, I felt my stomach clench, knowing something bad was going to happen. When I opened the door, there he was-my lazy, abusive, dishonest, and alcoholic dad, and wants my money to buy more beer.

"Where's your money?" My dad asked in a cold tone.

"You don't need it!"

"Neither do you." Just as those words left his lips, my stepmom walked up beside him.

"You heard him you bloody idiot, give him the money."

"I don't have to listen to you, Nicole, you're not my mom and I'm going to use this money to get away from you two!" I screamed at them, running up to my room but not before hearing my dad and stepmom calling me selfish brat and worthless idiot. Just as I slammed the door to my room, I heard my phone buzz and when I picked it up, I saw that Candace was calling.

"Hey Candace, are you doing okay?"

"Phin, I'm fine, I should be worrying about you! You have to deal with two alcoholic and abusive people every single day."

"That's true. Man, I wish Mom didn't die in that car crash thirteen years ago, Dad was actually nice back then."

"I hear you little brother, I wish she was alive too." The day my mom died was the worst day of my life and I remember it clearly.

Thirteen years ago

I was only four years old when it happened. My mom had gone out to visit some friends for the day. She was only supposed to be gone for three hours but when four and a half hours have gone by, she still wasn't home. As I was playing with some blocks, Candace was watching DuckyMomo and our dad was reading the newspaper when the phone rang. Our dad got up to pick it up, hoping it was Mom but he got a totally different person.

"Hello, am I speaking to a relative of Linda Flynn?" Our dad was baffled on why someone was asking if they were talking to a relative of his wife.

"You are speaking to her husband, who are you and how can I help you?"

"This is the Danville Police Department, Mr. Flynn, I have terrible news. Your wife...she was in a car crash and...didn't make it, I am so sorry." Our dad's face went white as he hung up the phone. Being the curious four year old, I walked over to him to ask where Mom was .

"Daddy, where's Mommy?" He looked down on me and said.

"Mommy's not coming home...ever." Just as he said that Candace, nine years old at the time, walked up and stood beside me. She knelt down and told me something that would haunt me to this day.

"Phineas, Mommy's gone, she died meaning...she's no longer alive." When I heard those words, I started to cry loudly. Candace picked me up and started to comfort me as our dad went up to his room, not saying a word. I didn't know this at the time but little did I know that this time two weeks from today, he would become a totally different person.

Back to the present

As I remembered the day my mom died, tears started to come out from my eyes. Candace somehow knew I was crying and tried to comfort me.

"Phin, it's okay. Even though she's gone on Earth she is still somewhere." I was confused, where would Mom be if she's dead?

"Where?"

"Our hearts, Phineas, she loved both of us very much."

"I know but still."

"Yeah. Ever since then, neither you, me, and Dad have been the same, especially you and Dad."

"I still don't know why he has the need to hurt me…"

"I don't know either but I love you as well as Jeremy and Amanda, they care about you too!" I smiled softly, my brother-in-law and niece are the only people other than my sister to actually care about me. "Listen, I have to go, Amanda needs me. Love you little bro."

"Love you too sis."

The next day

Ferb's POV

Today was a new day at a new school in a new country. I moved here with my mum and father over the summer from England. My life has always been great with both of my parents spoiling me rotten, I mean I am their only child but I still want to be treated like a normal person also, people thought that my unique hair color was pretty cool so I was pretty popular at school. As I was walking to my first class, I saw a red-haired boy who was given weird looks by other students. From the looks of it, he wasn't very popular. When I approached my first class, I noticed that the boy was in that class as well. I walked in and was immediately noticed by the teacher.

"Class, we have a new student. Would you mind coming up to the front and telling us a bit about yourself?" I nodded and walked up to the front of the classroom.

"Hi, my name's Ferb Fletcher. I come from London, England. I love to read and play what you guys call soccer, it's called football in England."

"Very nice, Ferb. There's an open seat next to Phineas, you may sit by him." The teacher pointed her finger towards the red-haired boy I saw earlier. I walked over to the empty chair and sat in it. The boy named Phineas glanced at me but soon looked away from me and focused on the teacher. "Class, we are starting a new project. With the person sitting next to you, you get to research any country you would like. Include its primary religion, language, food, etc., I will pass out a paper explaining the project. Create a powerpoint on the research you find and cite the websites you get your information from." This project sounded fun, maybe I can learn more about the United States or my red-haired partner can learn more about the United Kingdom. The boy glanced away from the teacher and looked at me.

"Looks like we're working together."

"Yeah, looks like it. I'm Ferb and you must be Phineas?" The boy nodded.

"That's me. Say, what country would you like to research?" Phineas said with a big smile that seemed fake.

"I would like to know more about the United States." Phineas gave a thumbs up as the teacher passed out the rubric.

"I'm willing to help you know more about my home country, let's get started." As I was researching on a computer, Phineas was researching on his phone when I glanced over at him and saw tears stream down his face.

"Hey, you okay?" Phineas looked up from his phone and glanced at me.

He gave a smile that looked pretty fake. "Yeah, I'm okay, let's work on our project." For the remainder of the day, the fake smile and the tears couldn't get out of my mind. I knew at that moment, I had a mission: to figure what is wrong with him and fix it.

Hey guys! Here is the first chapter of my new story! I hope you liked it! Couple of things, there are no pairings in this story, just pure friendship as well as hurt/comfort. Also, please don't pressure me to write the next chapter immediately after I publish one, I'm human just like you and to add to that, I'm a senior in high school so my main focus is school. If I have any free time, I'll write the next chapter. See you guys later, bye! ~Aurora
