I didn't receive any reviews, but I decided to go ahead and put up Chapter Two. It occurred to me that Chapter One might be too short for you guys to really review. So, without further ado, Chapter Two!

Hehe, that rhymes.

Disclaimer: I do not own Phineas and Ferb or Shugo Chara! I do, however, own the plot and the original characters.

Chapter Two

Another Dawson? - Phineas

As Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher sat beneath their tree, planning that day's endeavour, there was a commotion at the house next door. Doors opened and slammed, and the sound of running footsteps filled the air.

"What have the Dawsons done this time?" Phineas asked his stepbrother.

"I think they've adopted another one," Ferb replied, speaking for the first time that day.

"I wonder what country this one's from," Phineas murmured, standing and walking over to the fence that separated their yard from the Dawsons'. He rose up on tiptoes and peeked over the fence. A tall, black-haired Japanese boy - just a few years younger than Candace - stood by the door of the Dawsons' little house.

"Hey, Sasuke!" Phineas called to the boy.

Sasuke turned and waved at Phineas. "What are you boys up to today?"

"We're still in the planning stages," Phineas replied. "What are you up to?"

"Waiting on my parents to get back from the airport. They're picking up the latest edition to the family."

"What do you know? Ferb was right!"

"Isn't he always?"

"Yeah, I guess so. What country is this one from?" Phineas asked.

Sasuke smiled as the Dawsons' car pulled into the drive. "You'll see," he said before running to meet the vehicle. He opened one of the doors, and the new addition hopped out.

It was a girl with winter blue hair and blue eyes. She looked to be about thirteen, the same age as Phineas and his friends. The girl squealed when her feet touched the ground. "You have a Japanese maple tree?" she cried in astonishment.

"Yes, yes we do," Sasuke replied.

"You stole that from me!" Phineas called playfully. "Get your own catchphrase!"

The girl was already halfway up the Japanese maple when Phineas first spoke. She paused on a branch, leaned out from it, and waved at him. "Konichiwa!"

Japan again? Phineas thought as Sasuke called, "English, Touki-chan!"

"Oh, right!" the girl said. "Hello!"

Phineas waved back before turning and calling to his stepbrother, "Yo, Ferb! Come meet the newest Dawson!"

Ferb rose from his spot beneath the tree and joined Phineas at the fence. The girl jumped down from the tree and came to the fence, standing across from the stepbrothers. "So you two were also expecting me?"

"Not until five minutes ago," Phineas said. "I'm Phineas, and this is my stepbrother, Ferb."

On cue, Ferb waved at the blue-haired girl. She smiled and said, "My name is Hinamori Touki, but if I understand correctly, my name here is Winter Hinamori."

"Alright. Winter, then."

"Yes. Winter."

"Well, do you want to come over, Winter? The gang should be here soon. We could introduce you to everyone."

Winter turned back to the Dawsons. Mrs. Dawson smiled and said, "Go on, Winter. We'll have Sasuke take care of your things."

"What?" Sasuke cried, faking horror when a smile was clearly visible on his face. "I'm going away to college at the end of the summer, and this is how I'm treated?"

Winter laughed as Phineas opened the gate between their yards and waved her through. He latched the gate behind her and followed her to the center of their yard. Casting a glance around the area, he noticed that a certain semi-aquatic mammal was missing. "Hey, where's Perry?"

"Who is Perry?" Winter asked.

"Oh, he's our pet platypus," Phineas explained. "He tends to disappear a lot."

"You are aware that a platypus has a poisonous bite, yes?" Winter asked in her broken English.

"No, no I didn't."

Winter furrowed her brow as she attempted to find the right words. "He is tame enough apparently to not bite?"

"Yes," Phineas said. "At least, I think so. My Engrish isn't very good."

"Engrish?"

"Engrish is slang for broken English," Ferb explained.

"Yeah. So, like, if your English isn't exactly correct, it's said that you're speaking Engrish," Phineas said, elaborating.

"I understand," Winter said. Then a look came across her face, one that said that she'd just remembered something very important. "I will be back quick!" And with that, she ran to the fence, swung open the gate, and returned to the Dawsons'.

Well? Can you possibly review this chapter? And if I spelled konichiwa incorrectly, please let me know! I have no clue how to spell it, and I feel too lazy today to go Google it.
