Phineas' POV(1st person)
In the dim light, I examined Isabella. Her wounds were not good.
Can you stand? I asked her, realizing how insensitive it must have sounded
She tried, but fell over. Something had broken somewhere.
"Come over here, help me stand her up." I stood on Isabella's left side.
Ferb walked over to me and stood on the other side.
"Isabella, can you hear me?" I asked her
"Yeah." It seemed like an effort even for her to speak.
"Alright, wrap your arms around us and we'll get you up." We knelt down and she put her arms around us.
"Now, very slowly, we are going to stand." While gripping her waist, both of us slowly stood up. It was slippery with her blood.
"Alright, on my count, one..."
Perry got up from his chair. He knew what he was going to do.
He'd need the proper gadgets, though.
In a recess behind a superhero suit in his lair, there were several less high-tech gadgets. He rummaged through the dusty collection until he found what he was looking for.
He sat back in front of his computer and rechecked the location of his owners. No mistake. They were in the worst spot for thousands of miles around.
Perry sighed. The trouble was not getting there.
The problem was getting out, and getting out unscathed.
Time was running out. They were running out of places to go. Eventually, if they stayed in the complex, they would be caught. After that...Ferb shuddered.
Despite that, he couldn't help but feel elated because they had pulled off an impossible escape. And he'd overcome his fear of heights!
They turned another corner and-
-took down two robots. The two didn't stand a chance.
For the first time in a long while, Ferb felt scared. Something he hadn't felt since...
The night windy and cold, three-year-old Ferb was warm and cosy in his London home. Crawling around but never far from the fireplace, Ferb sensed something was wrong with his Dad. Mom...
He didn't want to ask about Mom. Somehow his Dad always avoided the question.
But he knew. Even he could remember the day she fainted and was taken from him. Taken to a place to get well, Dad had told him. He'd lost track of how many get-well-soon cards he'd made for his mom.
The phone rang. He wasn't tall enough to reach it. Pity. He wanted to try his new vocabulary. His dad picked up the phone. 'Hello?
Whatever was said, his dad was obviously concerned. "Yes...yes...I'll come now." He put down the phone and dashed for the door, Ferb tagging along. 'Where we going?"
His dad didn't answer. He merely opened an umbrella and took Ferb to his car.
They drove at breakneck speed. Ferb could not remember him driving faster. And he used his horn, too. That was another first. Usually, Lawrence was very tolerant.
They stopped in front of a white building. Lawrence clearly wanted to make a dash for the lift, but they stopped in front of a counter. 'Lawrence Fletcher, and this is Ferb, here to see..."
"Ah, yes. Go on, and hurry!"
Lawrence practically jumped into the lift. He and Ferb were the only ones there.
"Dad," Ferb said, "what's happening?"
His dad turned...and Ferb was stunned. He'd never seen his dad look so frightened before.
"I'm scared, son. I'm really scared..." he broke off, to dry his eyes
Ferb didn't know what was going on, but he was scared too. This was worse then the monster under his bed.
The doors dinged open. Level 9, the sign directly ahead said. Arrows branched off it. Wards 900-911 were to their left...They dashed off in that direction.
They burst into ward 909. The first thing Ferb saw was his mum...but was it her? She looked so different. She'd lost all her hair.
"Oh, my god, my dear..." Lawrence just let his tears fall on her immobile hand.
The nurse came in. Lawrence asked her, "What happened?"
"Her lung's collapsed, caused by the cancer. We tried chemo, everything, but now we can only hope. I've given her 100% oxygen, but I don't know if that'll be enough."
"Oh man...you can't die, you must see Ferb grow up, finish school, get a girlfriend..."
I will fight the monsters for you, Mom. Ferb added.
A tear rolled down her eye.
Take me to your heart, take me to your soul, show me what love is, show me wonders can be true...remember? Please, dear..." The tears were flowing now.
The heart monitor flatlined. Unlike in the movies, this was silent.
The doctors were automatically summoned. They left Lawrence and Ferb outside and sealed her bed off with a curtain.
After what seemed like an eternity, they re-emerged. Lawrence looked at them.
They shook their heads.
It was only later, at his late wife's bedside, he found a piece of paper with the scrawled words "They say nothing lasts forever, we're only here today..."
He was crying has he added his own two lines, the ones he always sang in their song: "Love is now or never, bring me far away..."
That was his tribute at her funeral.
Hazelton remembered only bits and pieces along the way. A plane crash he survived. How someone found him afterwords and told him the truth, the horrible truth. That his family was dead and that someone had killed them. So he learned how to take revenge on them. How to foil their drug-dealing attempts. How to scare off their new recruits. How to ruin them. And how to kill them.
