Oh my gosh guys I am so so sorry you had to wait so long! I hope you enjoy this chapter. I promise there will be at least 3 chapters this week to try and make up for it! Okay?
Ferb's P.O.V.
We get to the house, and then I realize we need to get in through the downstairs window or door.
"Okay we need to be SUPER slow and careful." I warn as I slowly and as quietly as I can start opening the screen door. Phineas silently follows behind me.
We creep up the stairs, making sure not to creak them, and we make our way to our room. I take the pillows out from under my covers and he does too and we put them back. I then sit on my bed and Phineas lays back on his.
"What are we gonna do…" I whisper sadly to myself after a long sigh.
"I don't know… We should probably do what Baljeet was getting at, though." Phineas replies.
My eyes shoot open and I quickly sit up. I stare at him for a second. "Are you crazy? No. That is not happening." I whisper sternly.
Phineas doesn't respond, he just stays there and continues to stare at the ceiling with a blank expression. I look back to the wall where I was originally looking, a nasty feeling setting in my stomach again.
What are we gonna do?
Time Jump - 12 days later
I wake up and rub my eyes. I then look around.
Odd, I wasn't woken up by a pillow… My alarm? I sit up and stop my alarm and look at what I thought would be Phineas, but instead was an empty bed. "Phineas?" I say, but all I hear is silence. "Phineas!" I call again as I run down the stairs and into the kitchen. I spot mom cooking something.
"Oh, good morning Ferb." She greets with a smile. "Uh, Good morning. Mom, where's Phineas?" I ask quickly. "Oh yeah! He told me to tell you. He walked over to Baljeet's house about an hour or so ago." She said.
"Okay. I'm gonna go meet him. Bye!" I say. I run out the front door and throw it shut. I sprint down the sidewalk and when I finally reach Baljeet's house, I knock on the door. I hear a few voices as they get closer, and eventually, the door is opened by Baljeet.
"Ah! Ferb!" He says with a smile. "Hi. Phineas?" I ask. Phineas peeks out from behind Baljeet. "Yeah?" He says.
I sigh. "What are you doing here? Why did you come here so early, and without even waking me up? I thought we were going to solve this together." I ask. "Well, I just figured you wouldn't want to be here while we thought up a plan." He explains.
"Why wouldn't I want to help to figure out a plan" "Because it involves this..." Phineas says nonchalantly as he raises his hands into view to reveal a link of heavy chains.
"What is that..?" I ask. "No. Give me those," I say as I try to reach for them. We try to wrestle the chain out of each other's grip until Phineas yanks it from me and pushes me off of him. "You aren't ever using those, and Baljeet... I'm disappointed in you. Why would you go along with this!?" I ask.
"Well, first of all I'm sorry, okay? I feel bad too, but if we can get his blood sample while he's transformed, run it through the machine and find out what his dad did to him? Then we'd be able to actually help. Besides, if this is effecting Phineas's daily life then wouldn't making him completely himself be a nice thing to have again? Ferb, don't do things for yourself. We need to think of Phineas right now. And he says he wants this done so he doesn't run the risk of hurting anyone." Baljeet rants. Phineas looks at my shyly and nodds in agreement.
I stand there dumbfounded that what he said was true. I do and will feel extremely guilty that this happened, but would this really make things that much better? For Phineas and for me?
"Fine..." I say, giving in. "You will contain him and put him under full-moon moonlight ONE TIME and ONE TIME ONLY. Then, we test the blood. We find a cure. We cure him. Then this entire thing never will have happened and everything is back to normal..." I condition.
"Okay." Baljeet says. "Follow me."
We walk into his bedroom, which looks the same as it did last night.
"So, is anybody gonna fill me in?" I ask.
"Oh, yeah. So what is going to happen is in about two weeks, or the next day of a full moon, we will prepare these chains and chain Phineas... somewhere. We haven't figured that out yet, but we'll do it right as the sunset starts. From there, we monitor Phineas's conditions as well as document them with everything Phineas feels and does to make sure he's okay during the transformation..." Baljeet continues. "And that's when things get tricky. We won't know how strong the wereanimal will be, but he'll be stronger than us and if he manages to escape the chains then we have a HUGE problem. Then, there's getting the blood which will be harder since he will not be happy with it and will fight, squirm and bite at us." Baljeet concludes.
"Well, our bedroom window faces the way the moon rises. So if we could turn the closet thats on that wall into a keeping chamber and put some form of window that the moonlight can get in from, there'd be extra security if he does start breaking or slipping free from the chains..." I suggest.
"Okay. So we'll go with that! I suggest getting started right away so it can be heavily tested and we can be sure of it's security for actual use." Baljeet says.
"Okay. Sound okay, Phineas?" I ask. He nods.
"Okay. Nice seeing you guys! Text me when it's finished; we can start testing at around noon tomorrow."
