Epilogue: Greater Impact, Truth Told
"Se-ra," La-an said to me as we drove away from the Flynn-Fletcher house, on our way home, "Do you think we'll ever see them again?"
"Highly unlikely. I have a feeling that what happened the last two days was a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
"Well, I'm going to miss them."
"Gonna watch Phineas and Ferb with me from now on?"
"Of course, now that I know it's real!"
Speaking of real, I thought to myself, Will the world I return to show any signs that I was there? Highly improbable, I reasoned with myself. What would me going and meeting Phineas and Ferb have any impact on the outside world?
A short drive later, we stopped at a gas station to get a break when Teri called me. Apparently there was a new episode planned for Phineas and Ferb that had just been released, and that I had to hear the news right away.
I glanced at the T.V. screen, irritated by my brother's delay and my cousin's jabbering, and noticed it was tuned to that very promo.
"When a teenage girl gets lost and finds herself in Phineas and Ferb's backyard, what adventures will they have? Who is this girl, and how does she know them? Coming soon to the Disney Channel."
I gasped, and nearly dropped the phone. "Sera, why does the girl look like you, only cartoonish?"
"Well Teri, I guess this means that I should tell you about my day. . . Not that it'll matter because in a few days, every person who has cable and watches the show will know. . ."
"What?"
"You're staying at Grandpa and Nana's right now, aren't you?"
"Yeah, but—"
"Mom's driving us down there the day after tomorrow, I'll tell you then."
"Fine, but Sera?"
"Yeah, Teri?"
"How do you think La-an enjoyed his last couple of days?"
"Oh him? You'll have to ask him yourself."
