A/N: Welcome to Chapter 2 of A New Life. Quick recap: Edward has just moved into Danville and met Phineas and Ferb. The characters are in their teens in this story BTW. Anyway, let's get on with it!
"So, first day of summer, what do you usually do Edward?" Phineas asked.
"Umm, I listen to music, game, learn how to play acoustic guitar and upgrade my watch to do helpful and cool stuff. How 'bout you?" I replied
"We build cool stuff to have fun with our friends and there's usually a song involved. Basically, we Carpe Diem."
"Carpe Diem? That means seize the day right?"
"Yeah, cause why let a day be wasted?" He replied "Say, would you like to come over to our backyard, meet our friends?"
"Ok, I guess. Just give me a minute, I need to grab something" I said nervously, going inside to grab my Stetson and take my jumper off. It was hotter than I thought it was gonna be!
Current location: Phineas and Ferb's backyard.
For the walk over and about 10 minutes after, Phineas explained in detail what he, Ferb and their friends, and occasionally their sister did during summer vacation and listed a few highlights of the past years. I had a look of confusion mixed with disbelief on my face, it seemed impossible. But impossible was apparently normal here, something I was gonna have to get used to (not very successfully, I might add)
"When you're friends with us, summer rocks!" Said Phineas.
"Yeah, I kinda lost my joy for summer a couple of days ago," I explained "Broke up with my ex because of the move."
The girl in question was Leah Doherty. I missed her, especially because of last summer. Mum and Leah's dad had arranged a vacation to Paris. It was brilliant… but now I had 'Our Last Summer' by ABBA stuck in my head.
"That's rough, but maybe you'll meet someone else." Phineas suggested.
"I- maybe, but no-one will be able to replace her," I replied "I mean, we thought it was true love… but obviously not."
Phineas looked as if he just had a eureka moment, and I realised that I had probably just given him an idea for the day.
"Hey Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!" Phineas exclaimed "We're gonna build a machine that can predict a person's next relationship!"
A/N: End of chapter 2. Finally got around to finishing it! Forgot to mention, but this is an AU where the episodes from Quantum Boogaloo onwards didn't happen. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Join me in chapter three as Edward meets the rest of the gang, and we see what relationships are predicted!
Remember to ROCK ON!
