Phineas and Ferb

Baby Adventures of Phineas

Chapter 1: The Flower

Fanfiction Summary: Just short chapters on Phineas's life in the past. Get a look into what Phineas's life was like as a toddler, before he ever met Ferb. How did he see the world around him? What did he think of his sister & mother? What crazy adventures would he get himself into?

Disclaimer: Phineas and Ferb does not belong to me. It belongs to Dan Povenmire and Jeff Swampy Marsh, who have done an amazing job with this show the past 8+ years. Here's to 8+ MORE years!

One-and-a-half year old baby Phineas Flynn sat in his playpen, with his crayons and coloring book, and looked around him. Everything looked so big to him. He had no idea what to expect to happen. All he could do was giggle and wave happily to his mother and sister as they walked by him.

"Hi Mommy!" He shouted in his baby voice. His massive intellect - which would show in his later years with "The Summer" - was already showing, as he began talking even before he turned one. He wasn't always coherent, and he still lacked the ability to speak really intelligent sentences - and at times he would even ramble - but the ones he could speak impressed everyone who met him.

Linda knelled down and kissed her son on the forehead. "Hello, my little angel. What have we here? As we coloring?" She started speaking in baby voice which for whatever reason thrilled him. He laughed and clapped his hands. "I'm going to do some work outside. Would you like to play outside?"

"Outside!" He shouted. Linda picked him up and carried him outside with her. She set him down next to the big tree and went to work on the garden. Phineas sat there for the longest time watching Linda garden and Candace play with Stacy. He didn't want to bother her, but at one point he squealed randomly and drew Candace's attention. In a rush, she and Stacy went over to sit next to Phineas.

"Hi Phineas!" Candace said as she picked up her brother and hugged him, and placed him in her lap.

"Hi Candy!" He shouted as he blew her a kiss. He couldn't say her full name yet, so "Candy" was the nickname.

"Phineas, this is my best friend Stacy. Say hi to Stacy. Stay-cee." Since he was still learning to speak, both she and Linda would help him by pronouncing words before letting him try to say them.

"This is my sister Candy!" Phineas raised his right hand and pointed it at Candace. Then he pointed at Stacy. "You be nice to Candy!"

Stacy laughed. "Candace, you never told me your brother was so cute!" Stacy tickled underneath his chin, and he just let out a loud laugh.

"He's alright, I guess." Candace joked.

"Here, Phineas." Stacy reached into her pockets and pulled out a tiny flower, and she pinned it into his shirt. "That'll make you look irresistible!"

Phineas looked down at his shirt. He giggled briefly, but then looked back at Stacy, visibly confused. "What is it?"

"It's a flower."

Phineas blinked twice. "A flower?"

"Yeah. People give each other flowers as little gifts. You know, as a way of saying 'I love you."

Phineas blinked again, but this time he also smiled and giggled.

"Girls!" Linda called. "I'm making cookies. You want some?"

The girls cheered loudly. Candace put Phineas back on the ground, and she & Stacy ran into the house behind Linda. Phineas was all by himself. It was then that he noticed the garden; there were several already bloomed flowers there. He stood up all by himself and started to walk. At one-and-a-half, he was also starting to walk by himself too. He struggled at times, and often he found himself plopping back on his behind, but Candace didn't start learning until she was two, and Phineas was already ahead of her.

He approached the flowers and picked three out from the garden. He then waddled towards the door and managed to bump into it. He couldn't quite open it so instead he proceeded to bump a few more times hoping somebody would hear. Finally Linda opened the door and saw his son standing there with the flowers in hand. "What are you doing, Phineas?" She said with a laugh.

"Flower!" He shouted happily and giggled as he held the flowers up.

"What?"

"Flower!" He said again as he walked inside. He transferred one to his other hand and held it up to her. "For you, Mommy." She took the flower in hand.

"Aww...Phineas, you're so sweet." She said as she leaned down to kiss him. Phineas laughed as he then walked towards Stacy and Candace.

"Flowers for you, Candy! And friend!" He handed the other two flowers to them. They each took one and exchanged looks.

"Candace, have I told you that your brother is so adorable?" Stacy asked as Candace picked him up and cuddled him in her arms.

"He is, isn't it? Yes you are! Yes you are!" She baby-talked to him; Phineas again giggled cutely. "But Phineas, what's the meaning of this? You didn't have to give Stacy a flower."

"Well..." He started as he looked at her, Candace, and Linda respectively. "I didn't want anybody to be sad."

"What?"

"If I didn't give her a flower, she woulda been sad, and I don't like nobody to be sad." Phineas answered, waving his arms around as he talked. It was a reactionary habit, one that he didn't even realize.

"Oh, Phineas." Linda joined Candace in hugging her adorable and loving infant son. "Phineas, you are such a sweet little boy."

"I love you Mommy." He replied as he leaned in close and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Candace and Stacy predictably "Aww'd" the moment.

"And we love you too. But you didn't have to give us these flowers, you know."

Phineas appeared confused. "I didn't?"

"No."

"But this girl-" he pointed to Stacy. "She said that we give flowers to say I love you."

"Well, yeah I said that. But I didn't mean it's the only way people do that. People do a lot of things to say I love you."

Phineas looked around the room at each of them, remaining silent. He then looked back at Candace again before going back to Linda. His eyes reverse-crossed slightly, as he also does as an infant.

"What's wrong with him?" Stacy asked.

"I think he's confused. All this excitement and he's having a bit of a hard time making sense of it all." Linda responded. He took Phineas out of Candace's hands. "I think I'm gonna put him down for a nap." She carried him upstairs and put him in his crib with his stuffed animals.

"Do you like your flower, Mommy?" He asked sweetly with a frown on his face.

"I love my flower, Phineas." She said with a smile, smothering him with kisses as he giggled. "I'll treasure it forever. But you didn't have to do that for me. I love you no matter what, and you don't need to do things like that to show it."

"Really?"

"Really. Now go take a nap. You've definitely earned it." She gave him one more kiss as she put blankets over him and tucked him in. He kept giggling until he was safely tucked in, where he yawned, closed his eyes, and started falling asleep. As Linda walked away, faint snoring could be heard from the infant. She couldn't help but stand at the door and watch Phineas go into dreamland. A big smile came across her fac; she eventually turned the lights off and closed the door, giving him the privacy of dreamland all to himself.

End of Chapter 1

There you go. Chapter 1 done. Told you, they're just short bursts of different situations of toddler Phineas. Some chapters will be longer, but this'll probably be as short as they come. It's not supposed to be a big story or anything serious. Just something short and cute I wanted to do. What do you think?
