Replacement

Chapter 1

It was a bright and shiny morning as the sun's light engulfed the whole city of Danville. It was summer so the natural cool breeze was a perfect combination to the warm weather. One specific household in the suburbs was the home of the Flynn-Fletcher family. Everyone was sound asleep except for one ten year old boy. Phineas Flynn was a famous young inventor along with his stepbrother Ferb Fletcher. Out of the duo, Phineas was the optimistic, friendly, and overall talkative one while Ferb was the calm collected one. Today was like any other ordinary summer day, but Phineas did not get a wink of sleep the previous night. Why you may ask? Well the triangle-headed boy was busy working on something spectacular for him, his brother and friends for the next day. And people who knew Phineas was that he wanted to make the best summer ever and nothing was going to stop him: not the laws of physics, the refusal of adults, and most importantly not the need to sleep. He has never done it before so he thought it would be a good idea to get some extra project ideas in. So it was now eight o' clock in the morning and he was already outside in the backyard, setting up his materials and tools. Phineas turned his head when he saw his stepbrother walking out of the house and gave him a big grn. "Morning Ferb!"

Though Ferb did not reply, he was the mut of the duo and only spoke his one line a day. But his brother knew how to read his expressions. 'Why are you up so early?'

"I've been working all night to plan for a project today so I'm just preparing the tools," Phineas answered his brother's unasked question. All of a sudden, their gate door opened revealing their neighbor friend.

"Hey Phineas! Whatcha doin'?"

"Hey Isabella! We're gonna be working a high powered motor-" Phineas was cut off by his mother.

"Sorry boys but Ferb has to come with me to the airport. I think it will be a surprise to all of us," Linda said as she came out of the house. The duo looked at eachother with confused looks but shrugged it off as Linda went away with Ferb to her car.

"Deja vu. I guess it's just us again Isabella," Phineas told his best friend. She replied with a loud squeal but then slapped herself across her face.

"Cool. Yeah, totally," Isabella said calmly.

"Oh, that's too bad Ferb had to go. I was looking forward to today's project but *yawn* I guess we have to find something to do," Phineas told her tirdley. Isabella noticed this and asked with concern laced in her voice. "Are you alright Phineas? You sound tired."

"Oh, well I stayed up all night working on the plans for today's project. Just a little tired is all."

"Well do you want me to bring the Fireside Girls Handbook? It might inspire you for another project."

"Sure, thanks Isabella!" As the fireside girl left, Phineas withdrew himself to his tree and propped himself against the trunk. He decided to take a little nap while Isabella returned as his fatigue was getting the best of him as his eyes slowly closed. A few minutes later, Isabella walked back into the backyard.

"I'm back, Phi-" She stopped to notice the snozzing inventor against the tree. 'He looks so cute when he sleeps' Isabella thought dreamily. Everyone knew she had a massive crush on the younger inventor, except Phineas himself. Slowly she made her way to the tree and sat down near him, and because of the movement, Phineas' head dropped to lean on the girl's arm. Isabella tried so hard not to squeal in excitement as to not to wake him up, but her blush was hard to hide. After a few solid minutes, the gate opened once more revealing the neighborhood bully and nerd, Buford and Baljeet.

"Hey Isabella," they greeted.

"Hey guys," she greeted back quietly.

"Where's Dinnerbell and Ferb?" Buford asked, not seeing the young inventor.

"Ferb's at the airport with Mrs. Flynn- Fletcher and as for Phineas, he's right here." Isabella pointed to the sleeping boy. The boys nodded. They all soon heard a car pull up into the driveway and next thing they knew was Ferb and another boy, who looked like Ferb but had blond shaggy hair instead of green and was way taller , walked in. The silent brother saw his normally ecstatic brother sleeping so he decided to wake him up with his homemade alarm clock. Curious, the others watched while Ferb turned it on. What surprised them was that not only did Phineas wake up with a jolt and his hands swung to his ears, but they couldn't hear anything.

"Ferb! Turn that thing OFF!" Phineas yelled in annoyance.

Ferb did so.

"I told you not to use that thing again," Phineas glared at his stepbrother for his only response was a shrug.

"Uh, Phineas… we didn't hear anything," Baljeet spoke.

"It's supposed to be an alarm clock that only I can hear with certain change in settings. The sound is super annoying and I told Ferb never to use it again," the young inventor told his group of friends. That's when he noticed the kid that came in with Ferb. "Hey, who are you?"

"Name's Calvin, I'm Ferb's biological brother."
