Phineas and Ferb: Isn't what it is Chapter 3: Save Our CityFerb, Baljeet and I paired up for the first class project. What did we have to do? Make something that floats in the air without you doing anything besides flicking a switch. Baljeet had no idea how to do anything. He may be extremely smart in math, but god was he dumb when it came to anything that involved technology and building. I got what we were supposed to do, and when told to do it, I could, but otherwise I starred at the contraption blankly.
Mr. Mayor, the mission burns
the zombies are marching, they close on the square
Families are cold, look down at their souls
huddled in camps on the old marble steps of City Hall
Faith in their God, that's all that they've got
Across the room, beyond the pane
the whole world is churning, bleeding and burning, hailstorms and ash
The moon is as blood
over the soldiers who sag in the mud.
Baljeet looked close to tears. I put my hand on his shoulder and watched as Ferb worked on the machine. "Don't worry." I told him and he shook his head. "I'm a failure!" He whined as he put his hands on his head and lowered it in shame. "It might as well be the end of the world!" he said a little too loudly and people snapped their heads back to glare at him.
"Baljeet, I'd stop worrying. Your going to get a great grade, stop freaking out." I told him and he smiled slightly and went back to watching what Ferb was doing.
Save our city
Keep our souls, Lord
Through the rapture
of this world.
I felt bad for leaving Ferb with a huge part of the project but I didn't say anything. The last thing I wanted was him to agree with me and then make Baljeet and I do all the work with not even the slightest help from him. We'd fail for sure if that were the case.
Little boy, I'm just a man, a mere civil servant
against this tyrant God
I've allied with our King, salvation he brings
protecting the city against all the troops Heaven sent
Ferb took a step back and pointed towards the paint and paintbrushes. I smiled at something I'd be able to help with and walked over to the paint shelf and choose Black and shiny metallic silver paints and a dozen paintbrushes and walking back to our table.
but the dead walk again, this is the end.
Oh I'm just a man, my time has come
Long live King Simius! May he deliver us from this nightmare!
And with a blast like the sun
his lips are unwrapped from the barrel of his gun.
I passed the silver paint to Baljeet and took the black paint for myself. The base colour was going to be silver and the details all in black. "You don't, Ferb?" I asked and he nodded. I smiled and looked at Baljeet. "Are you capable of slapping silver paint so it's covering, um that, entirely?" I asked him and he nodded before dipping his paintbrush in the paint.
I sat down in my chair and waited for him to be done. I snuck a peek at Ferb to see was openly starring at me. I twitched a little in my chair and scratched my wrist. I felt really self-conscious.
Save our city
Keep our souls, Lord
Through the rapture
of this world.
He stopped nodding and smiled. Like I passed his test or something. I didn't enjoy it very much, but at least he was pleased with me. That was always something good right?
"What are you doing?" I asked when I decided I had enough. Ferb looked at me with deep emerald eyes and smiled. "Nothing you should worry about." He told me and I rolled my eyes. Obviously it was something I should worry about.
Fought and fell for our great king
we burned alive and boiled
The dragon, red and wrathful calls
We rise and march once more.
Cursed in death, we starve for flesh
Our skin is cooked and curled
We'll eat our skin and smash them in
In Hell, we'll grind their bones.
Baljeet took a stepped back and threw his hand in the air in triumph. "Finished! Yay!" he said as he danced before sitting back down. I took the contraption that was supposed to look like a UFO (Ferb can build but he isn't a visionary) and started to paint any detail that would look cool, or was needed.
Save our city
Keep our souls, Lord
Through the rapture
of this world.
The bell rang and we weren't finished, but considering we have a whole other week to finish, I didn't think we did that bad. Ferb put it away and cleaned up the whole mess we made with the paint. Baljeet just acted like a total hyper loser while we did so, but at least that made me laugh.
Save our city
Keep our souls, Lord God
Through the rapture
of this world.
When we were down, we slipped out of the room and outside, where Andorea and Buford were outside waiting under a tree. Baljeet ran over and Ferb and I walked over without even hurrying up slightly.
Save our city
(Fought and fell for our great king)
Keep our souls, Lord God
(We burned alive and boiled)
Through [the mayor's ruined head, the boy steps through the window] the
rapture
(The dragon, red and wrathful calls)
of this world. [and cries out from the ledge to the people below.]
(We rise and march once more.)
Once we got there, Andorea waved out to a girl with blonde hair with blue tips to come over. She was short and had an extremely angular face. She was wearing a fedora (It's a hat, come on, Michael Jackson had one) with blue skinny jeans and a purple tee shirt with the word "Sarcasm" printed across the front. She walked over with a smile on her lips.
"Hi, I'm Marissa." She told me as she waved. I smiled and returned the wave before telling her, "My names Alika." I told her and she smiled before turning to Ferb. "Where are we going to eat today?" She asked and Ferb shrugged. I sighed before looking at Baljeet. "Where do you want to eat today?" Baljeet looked deep in thought before he threw his fist in the air. "Lets eat a subway!" He screamed and we all nodded before fallowing him to subway.
Save our city [There's a time to pray and there's a time to fight]
(Cursed in death, we starve for flesh)
Keep our souls, Lord God [Anything can be a weapon if you're holding it
right]
When we got there, Buford made a comment about it being lame but shared a table with us anyways. Once we got out food, Baljeet lowered his head in shame so he could ask, "This is lame isn't it?"
Ferb and I shook our heads while Andorea and Marissa told him, "I wouldn't worry about it Baljeet. It's not like your Phineas." Baljeet raised his hand with a small smile on his tan face while Ferb looked like he could punch something out. I guess he really didn't like being compared, or anybody being compared, to his stepbrother.
(Our skin is cooked and curled)
Through the rapture [Defend what is yours, they will not take our souls]
(We'll eat our skin and smash them in)
and so we [it's time now to] rise and fight!
When we were done eating, we slipped back onto school grounds and spent the nest 10 minutes talking under a tree. Baljeet and Andorea talked to each other, while Marissa and Buford talked to themselves, so I talked to Ferb while he listened.
"You don't talk much do you?" I asked as he opened is book. "Well people never really care to listen." He told me and then looked over at me. "Most people don't even listen to what I saw after they ask me if I talk a lot." He added quietly and I nodded. I don't think I would have been able to live in silence like he, but I guess if I was him, I wouldn't have much of a choice.
Save our city!
Keep our souls, Lord!
Rise now and fight!
