GENERAL POV

Perry looks at Candace and then turns his head towards the bed. Isabella steps forward, a hand just barely touching Perry's back to steady him.

Perry's right arm is in a sling, and his tail has been wrapped in gauze and taped to his back to keep him from moving it. He's having a hard time walking with the pain, but he struggles to keep it together, so he doesn't worry anyone. Besides, he's worried enough about Phineas and Ferb.

"How…how is he?" Isabella stutters.

Candace turns away from Ferb in order for the two to see him. Isabella's face pales and she spins on her heel and darts out of the room. Candace winces and looks over at Perry. His face is stricken with grief and pain, how much of it from seeing Ferb and how much from his own injuries, she's not sure. His normally vacant and clueless eyes are already filling with tears.

"Perry?" Candace whispers, concerned.

The platypus looks over at her as the first few tears begin slipping down his cheeks.

"He needs you right now, Perry."

He nods and carefully hops onto the bed next to Ferb, taking his hat off and settling down in the crook of Ferb's broken arm. His eyes rise to meet Candace's and she gives him a small smile.

"I'm going to go check on Phineas, OK?"

Perry nods, and then blinks in confusion as a look of pure terror hits Candace's face.

"What am I going to tell Mom and Dad? I'd tell them the truth, but they'd be so angry at us and never let us out of the house again…..Gosh, Perry, they might send you away."

Perry winces visibly at the thought, and then winces again from the pain he got from wincing the first time. This cycle continues for a few moments until a huge gasp from Candace makes him stop and jump two feet in the air.

"Oh my gosh, Perry we could be taken away from them for child neglection!"

Perry's jaw drops to the bed and he looks at Candace in shock. He doesn't want to be taken away from the kids, but even he has to admit that this is a bad scenario…. and probably a real one, too. (It is. Happened to one of my friends)

"That settles it," Candace mutters. "I need to come up with a fake story."

Perry gives Candace a sympathetic look and she starts to leave. She hesitates with her hand on the doorknob, and then strides back over to the bed and gives Ferb a peck on the forehead. She wipes her thumb over his hair, brushing away most of the blood that had seeped over onto his skin. She wipes it on the towel under his head.

"God, Perry, I hope he makes it."

Candace rubs Perry's head gently, avoiding the larger cuts that are visible on his fur. The platypus gives out a small chatter and Candace backs out of the room. She closes the door and turns around, literally running into Dr. D, who is carrying a first aid kit.

He offers her a tissue for the tears that had snuck their way onto her cheeks and Candace smiles, taking it from his hand.

"I can't thank you enough, Dr. D," she says, blowing her nose into the tissue a second later.

"Thanks, but I feel like I could've done something to prevent this," he murmurs glumly.

Candace glances at him with a confused look. "How so?"

"If I had gotten here sooner, I might have been able to-"

Candace cuts him off with a shake of her head. "There was nothing you could do. I'm just glad that you were here at all. Who knows how bad they would've been if you hadn't been here," she says, trying to gulp back the lump in her throat.

Doof smiles weakly and heads into Ferb's room with his first aid kit. Candace, as soon as the door closes, slides onto the floor and puts her head in her hands, letting her sobs overcome her, all the while wondering how it's possible that a person's body can produce this many tears.

A gentle hand on her shoulder a minute later makes her look up. Jeremy offers Candace a small smile, and then drags her to her feet by the elbows. He gives her a tight hug and whispers firmly in her ear: "They'll make it. I promise."

"You can't promise me something like that Jeremy. Besides, it's not Phineas I'm worried about. I mean, I'm worried about him, but Gretchen said he was doing OK."

Candace casts a glance back at the closed door, and then turns her attention back to Jeremy. "I'm more worried about Ferb at the moment. You haven't seen him, but it's….he looks awful Jeremy, he really does."

Jeremy looks over Candace's shoulder at the door, and then raises her chin so that his eyes met hers. "You know he'll be OK."

"I hope so."

Jeremy kisses her tenderly on the cheek and then raises his eyebrows. "So, what are you going to tell your parents?"

"I'm not going to tell them anything," Candace says quietly, and then tells Jeremy what she had told Perry about the child neglection. His eyebrows rise several times throughout the whole explanation, but when Candace finishes, he nods.

"I don't like it," he says, beginning to pace, "but I agree that that's probably the only way. I won't say anything, as long as you promise to be careful."

He looks at Candace sharply, and she nods. "Of course I'll be careful, silly."

Candace reaches over and takes Jeremy's hand into hers, and together they walk into what they think is the living room. They stop in their tracks as they reach the entrance and look at each other, immediately overwhelmed by the sheer number of kids, teens and animals occupying the area.

Every friend of Phineas, Ferb and Candace, friends of those friends, and even friends of those friends, are squeezed into the tiny living area. The only ones that Candace and Jeremy recognize immediately include the Fireside Girls, Isabella, Stacy, Jenny, Baljeet, Buford, Irving and Albert. After a few minutes of searching, Candace finds Django and then spots his and Jenny's cousin Sara. Jeremy meanwhile sees Coltrane in the crowd, and he turns to Candace.

"Mind if I go talk to Coltrane?" he asks sheepishly.

Candace shrugs. "Go ahead."

Jeremy smiles, then darts away. Candace continues to search the room, and though she doesn't find any more people that she knows by name (amazingly, Love Handel is nowhere to be seen, though Candace was sure they had been the ones playing the musical accompaniment), she does spot Pinky, Isabella's Chihuahua. After doing a double take to make sure it really is him (it is, surprisingly enough), Candace disregards everyone in the room, and searches the place for a quite area.

Though the task seems impossible, eventually she finds an area near a closet with a giant placard that says 'NORM' on it. No one is around, so she sits on the floor and pulls her phone out.

The ground starts rumbling and shaking before she can even open her phone, and she looks up in confusion as a giant robot walks out of the closet, declaring "My name is Norm."

Although the robot looks familiar, Candace can't place him, so as soon as "Norm" passes her, she flips open her phone and, with a deep breath, presses speed dial #1.

So, what did you think?

Hey, we were in Doofs place. I had to put Norm in there somewhere. (-=

Wait til you see the story Candace comes up with (or did I technically come up with it?) It makes no sense.

Oh, about the "Jenny and Django's" cousin thing, I found out that they are actually related. i had thought that for a long time, but i have now been proven correct! it makes sense, when you think about it. but yeah, that's why i put that the way that i did.

The next chapter includes a very obnoxious person (I think) who all Phinabella fans hated at the end of the movie cause of the mind erasing. take a wild guess.

Please R and R, and thanks to all of you who have!
