A/N

Before anyone go's an lectures me about how long it's taking me to update, keep in mind I have school and homework to deal with.

So yeah, next chapter. Whoopee. (Sorry, really tired at the moment)

Lawrence's POV

I really thought Linda was the perfect women; she was funny, beautiful, and wonderful in my eyes. At least she was.

Now, I looked at her like she was just some mom I pass in the grocery store. Nothing special.

It was really sad, but it was the truth. The fights had pushed me so far I guess my eyes opened to new doors, including my views on Linda. And, the fact was, I really didn't care about her that way anymore. Not as a wife, mate, partner…

She didn't make me happy anymore.

This was the hard truth. I figure it would be best if I would just move on, maybe be happy. I never really loved it here in America. Don't get me wrong, I never hated it, I just… it's not home.

England. That's where I wanted to be now. Not with Linda, but with my home town. Maybe I can find a new woman there, get a better job maybe. I don't know, but I just didn't want to stay.

As I told Linda my plan, wanting a divorce and moving back to England with Ferb, I could see the shock in her eyes. It made me feel guilty for a second. Deep down, I knew Linda still really cared for me, the family, despite the fights, she was just trying to stay strong against me and around the kids because she wanted to seem strong.

That still didn't change my mind. I figured it was time for me to go before Linda began screaming hysterically again.

I got up slowly. "I'll be back tomorrow night to pick up Ferb. Tell him tomorrow morning to get packed. Our flight leaves in 2 days." I turned to leave before a hand gently grasped my shoulder. I looked back into Linda's eyes, tears glistened in them and sorrow stung each spot in the white. My stomach dropped some.

"Don't leave, please. I really will miss you." Linda begged. "And… what about the kids? They will be destroyed by this!"

I sighed sadly. To think, only a few months ago, a Friday night like this would be us, laughing and bonding like normal. Being maybe a little silly and loving to each other, me being me and Linda being herself, as our own kids had fun, or there definition of it anyways.

That is no more. I thought I don't care about her like that anymore, and as for the kids, Ferb is a step sibling, nothing more than that to Candace and Phineas. Sure they will be sad, but they will get over eventually.

"No. My decision is final." I replied sternly, no regret in my voice. "I will be back tomorrow. Goodbye Linda." I turned toward the door and walked outside to my car.

Ferb's POV

I couldn't believe. I just couldn't believe it. Here I was, sitting here, having heard everything, and I still couldn't believe it.

My dad was forcing me to move back to England with him!

My mind was whirling with confusion on what to do now. I didn't want to move England! I wanted to stay here! Even if I was born in England, I was raised in America. It was what I was used to. It was where my friends are, where I grew up, and my mother figure and my sister figure and….

Phineas.

I felt my stomach churn heavily at the thought. Phineas and I, we were partners, best friends, brothers. Leaving him wouldn't feel right. We did everything together, it was like… I don't know... We're two puzzle pieces that fit together. Different shape and form but fit together perfectly.

Phineas and I were very different. I knew that. I was quiet and more of an inventor by the blue print and went along with anything. Phineas was imaginative, creative, thinking outside of the box type. In some ways, we were opposites, but hey, opposites attract. Phineas and I are a great example.

Phineas and I also shared many things. Our love to invent new things, things that haven't been invented, our more peace loving nature and interests in general. The same.

How am I going to tell this to Phineas? I thought, getting up slowly, not trying to make any noise to alert my now… wait… the sobbing Linda. She's not my mom… if they are getting a divorce. It wasn't official yet, I knew, but it felt wrong to refer to someone as mom or step mom when a divorce was fast approaching.

I turned and crept up the stairs quietly and silently, my mind turning back to Phineas. He's not going to take this well. I realized. Phineas really seemed to care for me, and the feeling was mutual to him. I have to be calm, if I'm all out of character going in there, he'll get worried right off the back. I thought, taking a deep silent breathe to calm myself. I had to be calm. Calm.

Lily's POV

I sat on the fence of my house, looking out toward Phineas' and Ferb's house. I watched curiously as a car drove out of the driveway. I watch the car pass by to see it was Ferb's dad/Phineas' and Candace's step dad. I frowned deeply. That was first time I had seen him in two weeks, and judging by his face, he not happy.

I had no idea what was going at the Flynn-Fletcher house hold, all I knew was, Phineas and Ferb haven't been out for weeks working on a project. Friends of the brothers had simply been going inside for short periods then leaving, even Isabella. Lawrence hasn't been around for weeks. Come to think about it, I haven't passed by Perry either, if I did, he probably could explain what was going on. Instead, I was left with nothing but un-clear clues and un-sure guesses.

Whatever was going on, it was deeply worrying. That was for sure.

I was tempted to go see what was up, but I held back, it wasn't my place or business to go and find out. So instead, I leaped down, off of the fence and hurried into my house.

Phineas' POV

I was drifting in and out of sleep fairly easily. I managed to sleep heavily for like five minutes, and then I would wake up. I finally gave up on the idea of sleep, for now anyways. I was too worried to hear about how things went with my mom and Lawrence. I sat up and yawned, I looked down at the foot of my bed to see a familiar blue-furred pet there.

"Oh, there you are Perry. I haven't really seen you today." I stated, reaching out to pet the platypus gently. "You seem to be disappearing less though lately, ever since Lawrence left." I frowned slightly at the thought. "He'll come back though." I stated, though I trying to convince myself more than anyone.

Luckily, Perry chattered a reply. I chuckled, normal response from Perry. I watched as Perry closed his eyes again and feel back asleep. Have Perry kind of made things better. Pets tended to do that.

I yawned again, getting ready to try sleep again, before Ferb came in.

I was slightly relived to see him, it meant that I could finally know what happened, sleep forgotten, I stood up calmly and stared at him, meeting Ferb's calm blue eyes.

"What happened?" I asked curiously, at the moment, I wasn't that worried though. Ferb was seemly calm which had to mean nothing too bad happened.

Boy was I off.

Ferb rabidly explained what had happened, apparently it went fine at first, and then went downhill from there. When Ferb finished, telling me that Lawrence was forcing him to move back to England, I nearly collapsed from shock.

"What!" I cried, trembling slightly before recovering myself. I breathed heavily and looked desperately at Ferb. "What about us? How can they just go along with this without asking us? Did Lawrence even think about you, me, and Candace?" I questioned.

Ferb nodded sadly, a frown now on his face. I couldn't tell what he was thinking though. All I knew was that Ferb was just as upset about this as me, and was trying to keep calm for me, most likely anyways.

Ferb broke into my thoughts. "Linda brought it up, but dad didn't seem to care. He just said his decision was final."

I shook my desperately at the answer and began pacing back and forth. What would happen now? I was just going to lose Ferb and the only person I ever referred to as father? Just like that? I never knew my real father. He left before I could remember him. My mom and sister never talked about him either.

I was barley aware of Ferb watching me pace, I didn't really care though, all I cared about was finding out some way to try and keep Ferb and me together. To keep my family together. Without Ferb and Lawrence, the family would feel broken, and nothing but that.

Lawrence, like I always said and thought, Lawrence was the only person I referred to as 'father.' I couldn't image life without him. He was my father. Not my step father. My father.

Then there was Ferb. He was not just my step brother, no, he was my best friend, my closet friend, the person I trusted the most, the person that always cheered me up and made me laugh… he was my brother. That described him perfectly; I cared for him like that. We were brothers. The only difference was, we never fought.

Siblings always had their fights. Me and Candace always do and Ferb has gone at it with Candace once or twice. But Ferb and I… I can't even think of the last time him and I had a fight. We also got along the two closet brothers in the world.

I couldn't lose him.

"Ferb… what should we do? " I asked, looking up at him desperately. "Do you have… any ideas?"

Ferb's POV

I looked at the ground as Phineas turned his gaze toward me. I really didn't know what to do; all of my ideas involved us losing some part of the family. Most of which was us being separated. The problem is, without some complicated project that would take too much time to build, we would lose family.

But I can't leave Phineas… we need each other. Besides, my dad is not the same person if he's just going to leave like this out of nowhere, and Linda and Candace I'm not as close to as Phineas. And I doubt my dad would just let me stay with them, beside, it would feel too weird around here without may dad. I guess that leaves me one choice.

"Phin, I think it's best if we… run away."

Phineas looked up to me in shock. He stood up, staring at me in question.

"Why?" He asked.

My heart dropped slightly as if I finally realized what I had just suggested. I mean… I was fine with it… somewhat… but I just stated it out of the blue as if Phineas would be okay with it. I mean… he would be losing family too. And Isabella, even if they weren't 'officially' together yet.

"I mean… that's one idea…. I mean-"

"Ferb, I think I agree with you. I mean… no matter what we do, with the time left and under these conditions… well lose some sort of family… right?" Phineas asked me. I nodded reluctantly, not wanted to make Phineas have a biased answer thanks to me and just agree to this because I suggested it.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Yes." Phineas replied, getting a few things together for us. "I mean, it's not going to get better now and… we can't live with each other. Were too close. I don't want to lose you Ferb. You mean a lot to me."

"Same." I replied.

"Our parents have been fighting for awhile now; it won't just change now, especially since your dad has gotten into his mind that the only way out of this is to move away back to England. Which won't solve anything." Phineas replied stubbornly.

"I know."

"And… well… maybe if we stay away long enough our parents will get back together again? And besides, will be fine out there as long as we stick together."

"I guess that's true." I replied, smiling. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Phineas gave me his optimistic grin. "Of course!"

I gave my younger step brother a smirk. "Fine, then tell me what I should do to help."
