10. Final Masquerade: Part 2
A/N: Here's part 2. How was the cliffhanger? Well, shit's about to go down and humour is about to go up in the final part of Act III! When Genders Swap c2 will be up soon; sorry for the wait!
Tell your mom I said hi!
Phineas' POV
"Phineas?"
I snapped out of it, "Y-Yeah, Ferb?"
"Whatcha' thinking about?
"Nothing!" I quickly replied.
"Phineas,"
"I thought you would be mad because I know you get angry when you are beaten at games." Phineas started crying.
"Wait!" Ferb looked at the director, "Am I supposed to get angry right now?"
"Yeah…" replied the director.
"Oh, okay then." Ferb turned towards me, his eyes narrowed and teeth gritted, "You will pay, Phineas!"
I gulped once again and stood up.
Ferb's POV
I hadn't gotten this angry since yesterday! It feels so good to be the new me again! And the new me is out for revenge!
Hearing Phineas' gulp of pain makes me smile. He's about to get hurt,
Real bad.
Without hesitation, we tore our shirts off for no reason and took up a battle stance.
"Wait!" I shouted.
"What?" Phineas sighed.
"Why are we doing this?" I asked.
Phineas' eyes went wide. "I don't k-"
"PHINEAS AND FERB, GET DOWN HERE, NOW!"
Candace broke down the door, "Get down here, n- What is going on here?"
Gee, I never thought I would hear that phrase again for a while, but apparently I was wrong.
"N-nothing! Nothing at all! Just busy, busy, busy!" Phineas rapidly scratched his ear, trying to convince our sister, as quick as possible to avoid us getting into more trouble.
Candace paused, then shrugged, "Oh, okay then. I'll just GET MOM 'CAUSE YOU TWO ARE BUSTED! Ha, it works!" She ran away, cackling.
Phineas and I glanced at each other with worried - No, scratch that! - horrified expressions on our faces.
A few seconds passed before the pitter-patter of footsteps sounded. A second later, Candace appeared by the door again.
"Maybe this will help." She picked both of us up by the shirts and carried us downstairs. Mother and Father waited by the couch.
Phineas' POV
"We heard Candace yelling. What's up?" asked Linda, "Same as last time, huh?"
I gulped.
"I can tell." Linda looked over at her oldest, "Candace?"
"Phineas and Ferb were about to fight each other, shirtless!" replied Candace.
Lawrence gasped, "Boys, is that true?"
I uttered a "Y-Yes, Dad.", while Ferb just nodded.
"Backstory time." Linda ordered, than paused. She sounded exactly like someone she knew, but couldn't quite place a finger on it.
Realizing her mistake, she corrected herself, "Let me rephrase that." said Linda, "Spill." She focused her attention on us. Lawrence did the same, as did Candace.
"Gang broke up from hatred." I simply replied.
"Why?"
"Long story, actually. We…"
General POV
An eternity later…
"...And that's pretty much it!" Phineas finished, "We're done."
The two stopped.
We'd ran away at the worst time. Mom and Dad - Hell, maybe the rest of our family - were going to kill us!, Phineas thought.
"We're going to d-"
"Wait!" Ferb exclaimed.
"What?" Phineas was pissed.
''Isn't this-" Ferb grabbed his head and held it.
"Where we got intimate!" / "Chapter 3!"
"What?!" Ferb turned around, "Chapter 3?"
"Yeah…" he replied, "What's the matter with that?"
"This is not the time for breaking the fourth wall, k?"
"But Ferb,"
"Don't 'But Ferb!' me!" He mimicked Phineas' whiny voice.
"Stop acting like an immature brat, Phineas. Get on with your life! Stop watching Naruto*! Your children - if you have any - won't like this kind of behaviour!" Ferb wouldn't stop dishing out insults and whatnot. "You know what! Let's travel to the future and see how it turns out, huh? Right-Phin-Phineas?" Ferb stopped.
"Phineas?" Ferb was worried, "What's wrong?"
Phineas was shaking, and whimpering, tears threatening to fall.
"Phineas?" Ferb repeated, stepping closer to him.
"Phin-"

"GET OUT OF MY LIFE!"
Phineas' POV
"Phineas?"
"YOU HEARD ME; GET OUT OF MY LIFE!" I repeated.
"Phineas," Ferb started, "this isn't like you. Why are y-"
"BECAUSE I'M SICK AND TIRED OF Y'ALL-"
"Y'all?" Ferb asked, chuckling.
"YES, Y'ALL! YOU GUYS-"
"Better."
"-ALWAYS BUG ME AND SEE ME AS THE OPTIMISTIC, OBLIVIOUS KID! I'M NOT!"
"Phineas, you need to calm down or el-"
"NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! YOU GUYS MADE ME LIKE THIS! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"
With tears streaming down my face, my rage soaked up my emotions and gave me an intention.
An intention to kill.
Well, to punch, as if there wasn't already enough unfunny drama in this comedy-I mean, story!
So I did what was best at the moment.
Once again, I punched my brother.
"BITCH!" I spat out.
IrresistibleCookie's POV
The scene shifts towards a basement, more specifically, a table. On that table was a laptop; someone was using it. The camera turns to find a male typing these exact words on the screen of his precious device.
That male is the author, the writer of the fanfiction you're reading right now.
He shifts towards the camera and gives a smirk before responding.
"Cue *crappy* slow-mo action scene."
Ferb's POV
"Get back here, Ferb!"
I'm so stupid. I ran away from the demon, the demon who was once my brother.
"I said get BACK HERE!"
What am I doing?
"If you don't, I will...umm, well I'll think of something!"
It's time.
"I WILL FUCKIN' KILL-OOF!"
Phineas fell back, clutching his neck in pain.
The camera shifted to show me holding a pocket knife in one hand, my phone in the other. I don't know why I have my phone in hand…
I kept running, Phineas hot on my tail.
Within a few minutes - due to the speed I was running - I was back home. I burst through the door and shouted, "MOTHER, MOM, MOMMY, MAMA, HELP!" I burst into tears, "PHINEAS IS TRYING TO KILL ME!"
"Candace?" Mother asked.
"No, it's Ferb!" I replied.
"Ferb?! Get your butt in your room right n-"
"No time!" I ran into my parents' room and slammed the door shut; locking it and pressing my back against it as a barricade. As soon as I settled down, the door was fiercely being pushed open by Phineas.
The camera shifts to show the other side of the door. Phineas rips the lock off and continues pushing.
With all the strength that I had, I pushed the door closed, Mother helping.
I eventually gave up as Phineas successfully opened the door.
"How'd-When did you get so strong, Phineas?" I asked in between breaths.
"I guess I've always had it in me; I guess I just never knew how to let it out." He, too, was panting.
"That's what she said." I responded.
"Oh, shut up!"
All of a sudden, the door opened. Isabella, Baljeet and Buford rushed in.
"What happened?" Isabella asked.
"We heard noise from your house," Buford said.
"Which was really loud." Baljeet added.
"And you three wanted to check out what was happening?" I assumed.
"Well, yeah." The three replied simultaneously.
"Well, Phineas here is trying to-"
Phineas placed his hand over my mouth, "Don't you dare, Ferb," He threatened, "or else I will kill you!" He took his hand off my mouth.
"Which is what he's trying to do to me." I finished.
Mother glared at him, "Phineas, how could you?"
"Fuck." I heard him mutter. He innocently looked up at her with pleading eyes.
Phineas' POV
"Mom, I'm so, so sorry!" I faked a tear, "I don't know what's gotten into me - maybe it's just stress - but I promise; I will never do that again!"
"Phineas, honey," she replied, getting closer to my face (which I'm not proud of), "when will you ever learn - that never works on me."
I was taken aback, "H-How?" I asked
Mother stared straight into my eyes, "I raised you; I basically know all your trucks."
Isabella raised an eyebrow, "Trucks?"
"Tricks; sorry, autocorrect." Linda corrected herself.
The now-defunct gang glanced at one other with expressions that said: "She's crazy!"
"Now; Phineas, honey. You realize that you're in big trouble, right?"
"Right, Mom." I muttered. I caught Ferb smirking at me from the corner of my eye.
"You're in trouble too, Ferb - so stop smirking.
Ferb's mouth slowly dropped down. I snickered at his reaction.
"Now, will you three-" She pointed at the three standing by the doorway, "-leave, please?"
"Yes, Mrs. Flynn-Fletcher!" The three replied, heading downstairs. As soon as we heard the door close, Mom glared at us.
"Now, what's your punishment."
* - don't own :P
Well, I guess this chapter - including part 1 - is technically 2000 words! Added up - minus author's notes - it totals to *gets out calculator* 2730 words, so…
Camera shifts, party scene going on.
PARTY!
