Give me a break here folks. I've been having a stressful and busy summer okay? Busier then my school year. Fun right? -_-
Well here you are, the next chapter. I'm working to update all of my stories right now so expect updates soon on all of my stories that are in-progress.
Lily's POV
I watch Ferb turn away from me with a pang of sorrow. The truth was, I've not talked to Phineas or Ferb in almost a year. Not since I rescued them from Doofenshrimtz. I frowned deeply before turning away and making my way back to my home. I looked leaped up onto the window seal and looked inside.
I guess you could say I was happy here. I'm allowed to come and go as I pleased and I have loving owners that keep me warm and safe. It's nice here. But…
I guess I still felt loyalty toward Phineas and Ferb. I mean, after that whole ordeal with my past that involved humans, then they took me in and took care of me, they were like saints! To me anyways…
I look down at myself to see the familiar necklace that my mother had given me with a sigh of sorrow. It was not just a necklace anymore; it was my way of talking.
Turns out I had a knack for inventing stuff and fixing stuff around to make them work how I wanted it too.
"Hey Lily."
I look down at the sound of a familiar voice. I forced a smile. It was my friend and Phineas' and Ferb's pet Perry.
The two of us became great friends after I helped him with his owners then he helped me find a home of my own. I really owed him a lot, he learned to be friends with me, even after a deceived him for so long.
"Hey Perry." I replied, leaping down onto the ground beside him and sitting down. "What's up?"
"Nothing. Just finished an early morning mission." He replied.
I smiled, I was not an agent anymore but I'd been helping Perry out once in awhile when I felt it was needed. And Perry always seemed to be happy to have me along when I came.
"Cool." I nodded, accidently letting a note of sadness drop into my voice.
I hope he won't notice! I thought in alarm.
But of course, Perry did. He just gave me a long look. "What's wrong?" He asked.
I shuffled on my paws uncomfortably. "Phineas and Ferb." I murmured sadly.
Perry gave me an understanding smile; he stepped closer to me and rested his hand on my head, patting it a few times with a smile.
I glared at him at this, even though I was supposedly full grown now, when Perry was standing on his legs, he was still taller than me. He liked to tease me or I guess in this case, cheer me up. It annoyed me when he did this because it made me feel short. I swiped playfully at his hand and glared at Perry playfully.
"Don't even think about trying that again." I warned, grinning.
"But it cheered you up." Perry reminded me.
"More like annoyed!" I growled playfully.
"Cheered you up."
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!" I slapped him across the face with my tail; it was not meant to hurt but instead to get a bunch of cat fur in his face. Perry hated it when I did the tail slap thing.
Perry responded by spitting and brushing off his mouth then glaring at Lily. "Your funeral if you do that again." He warned playfully.
"Fine." I replied, grinning.
"Whatever, I'll see you later." Perry stated, walking away.
"Bye Perry!" I called before turning away and padding into town to go meet up with some friends.
~2 weeks later~
Phineas' POV
It had been two weeks since Lawrence had stormed out, and in the two weeks, there had been no sign of him, no calls, no nothing.
In that two weeks though, Ferb had not seen his father either, he had begged mom to see him many times but she refused. I felt really bad for my step brother, I mean, his dad was his only living blood parent.
When he had been just a little kid, Ferb had lost his mother when she mysteriously disappeared. No one ever found her and she was assumed dead.
Now Ferb was being kept from his dad, though he did not show it, I knew he was in depression, and I felt worthless, because I had no idea how to help him.
Then, at dinner that night, my mom told all of us, Candace included, to stay for a second.
"Lawrence is coming by tonight, we are talking about what has happened." Linda explained.
I nodded slightly though inside, I was celebrating, maybe everything could go back to normal now.
"That means I need the three of you stay in your rooms for the night." Linda added.
"You don't need to tell me mom. Tell them." Candace stated, pointing to Ferb and I
"Candace, I don't need to hear your ridicules stories about what these two do each day." Linda snapped before sighing. "Boys, promise me-"
"Were going upstairs mom, night!" I cut off quickly, motioning for Ferb to follow. Ferb got up and followed without a word.
"What was that about?" Ferb asked.
"I didn't want to lie to mom…" I began.
"So you're saying we're going to listen to what they have to say once dad comes over?" Ferb guessed.
"Read my brother, read my mind." I replied, smiling.
Ferb's POV
Phineas and I got dressed in our pajamas for the night and waited in silence, my step brother and I took turns looking out the window for any signs of dad's car. For about 2 hours, we saw no sign of dad, it was close to 9:00A.M when I noticed Phineas getting tired he kept yawning and his eyes were glazed over with exhaustion.
"Phineas, you can go to bed if you want." I whispered to him.
"No Ferb. I can stay up." He told me, but he yawned again causing me to give him a skeptical look.
"No, got to bed." I told him firmly. "I can get the information okay?"
Phineas hesitated for a moment before sighing. "Fine."
Phineas crawled into the bed and curled up under the covers.
"Night Ferb." Phineas muttered for me before his breathing slowed, indicating he was asleep.
I watch Phineas sleeping for a second with a small; he was cute when he was asleep. Not cute as in looks, but cute as in innocent and sweet. I guess when you're sleeping it did that to you.
Not even 5 minutes later, I heard a car pull into the driveway. I hurry to the window and look outside to see my father walking up to the house. I smile slightly, hoping this would work out for the best before hurrying out my room, silently of course and down the hall.
I passed Candace room and heard chatting up a storm with…. Stacy. No surprise there. I kept going to the hallway and peered down to see Linda letting my dad in.
"Lawrence." Linda greeted her voice curt.
"Linda." Lawrence replied, his tone the same as Linda's.
At least they are not biting each others' throats out. I thought.
"Are we going to talk?" Linda asked.
My dad gave a nod and they went into the living room. I took the chance to sneak downstairs. Once on the last step I stopped and hid against the wall, thankful that it was there for cover while I could still listen.
Linda's POV
I walked into the living room with Lawrence and sat down on the coach with him. I poured some tea for us and we drank in silence. For about 15 minutes, neither of us said anything, we just sat there, slowly drinking the tea I made. Finally, I broke the silence.
"Nice tea." I stated carefully.
"It's okay." Lawrence replied to me, his voice cold. I mentally flinched at his tone but ignored it otherwise.
"So…" I stated, not really knowing what to say, the truth was, I wanted to make up with my husband so things could go back to normal, but I was too worried to say anything.
"Linda." Lawrence stated. "I think its best if we…"
"Get back together and act like this never happened?" I asked, hopeful.
"No, it would be best if we got a divorce." Lawrence replied.
Ferb's POV
My heart stopped at what my father said. A million things began sweeping through my mind, but the one thing that stuck, was divorce equaled me leaving, and me leaving Phineas. I couldn't do that! We were brothers! Best friends! Partners! I can't be taken away from him!
While my mind had been swimming, my Linda and my father must have been talking because all of a sudden, Linda was hysterical.
"You can't do that! What about Phineas and Candace, they'll be affected by all this as well!" Linda exclaimed.
"It's best that we split up Linda and you know it. The kids are affected by the fighting just as much as we are." He sighed, "And since Ferb is my kid…"
My heart stopped dead at what my father said next. "I'm taking him with me back to England."
