YAY! I just figured out how to check how many people read my story and I'm SO HAPPY! I can't believe that many people would read it! Thank you so much! Anyway – back to the story because I'm boring.

Ferb's pov

I rubbed my head and tried to locate the pain that had been so strong when we were in the house. It wasn't there. I looked up at the moon far above the earth and wondered if Mom and Dad were okay. I knew there probably wasn't any chance they could hear me, but I closed my eyes and concentrated hard on my father's face. Father? Can you hear me? I thought to him. I waited, searching for some answer. There was none. Whatever power I'd had in the house was long gone. Speaking of which – I walked over to Candace and poked her cheek gently.

"Wha – Ferb? Why are you *yawwn* awake?" She moaned sleepily from her spot on Jeremy's couch. I stared at her. Really, Candace? You have to ask? I thought sarcastically. She smiled softly. "Oh right. You miss your Siamese Twin." I nodded slowly, trying to hold the look of fear off my face. "I watched them when they caught Mom and Dad." Candace gulped suddenly, in unexpected emotion. "Phineas wasn't with them. But Mom looked really worried about something. Omigosh I can't believe those freaks. I just want to - " she noticed I was still there and smiled sheepishly. "Sorry." I shrugged. I didn't care how bad the words she used to describe them were. I needed my parents back, but more than that, I needed Phineas. I needed to know he was okay. I went back to my 'bed' of cushions Jeremy had made for me and concentrated on my step-brother. Phineas, where are you? I thought, willing it into his mind with all my might. I listened. Please, please, please.

Phineas' pov

Phineas, where are you? I sat up in bed. What the - ? Ferb? Is that you? I thought in sluggish confusion. I hoped it was Ferb, and not just another dream. I needed to know where Ferb was. I needed him by my side. He'd always made me feel not only safe, but wanted, important. He was my real brother as far as I was concerned. Ferb please answer me. Where are you?

I almost laughed out loud when I heard Phineas' voice in my head. I was ecstatic. Phineas! Are you okay? Where are you? We're – My concentration was broken by a crash from upstairs. I heard heavy boots pounding on the floorboards. A scream rang out. Candace, Isabella, and I were instantly on our feet ready to run. Too late I realized our mistake. We were in the Johnson's basement. There was nowhere to run to.

Jeremy burst through the doors and yelled for us to follow him. We all scrambled for the opening Jeremy had left. A man yanked him back and reached for us, but I jump-kicked him in the face. We ran through the glass doors into the backyard.

"Candace you take the kids and get somewhere safe, I'll hold them off." Jeremy said.

"No way! I'm not leaving you!" Candace yelled.

"I love you, Candace Flynn, and I don't want you to get hurt." He said. Candace was stunned.

"You-you do?" she asked.

"Of course I do." Jeremy whispered softly.

"I love you too."

"Yes, we're all in love now let's go before we all get our kistures blown off." I said. Candace, Isabella and I ran towards downtown as fast as we could. We only turned around when we heard the KA-BOOM of the Johnson's house blowing up. Candace screamed, and I had to hold her back from running to help Jeremy. We ran for the city, and soon I was in the lead. I stopped in front of an oddly-shaped building. Doofinshmirtz Evil Incorporated was printed on the top.

"I don't think we should go into a place that specializes in evil." Candace said. "For all we know this could be their headquarters." I shook my head.

"No. I think – " I began. Candace grabbed our arms and hauled us away.

"Come on. Let's find someplace that's actually safe." she said. I moaned softly. I knew something or someone was in that building that was important to me. I could feel it. I broke away and ran up to the door, then staggered backwards as my body once again flooded in pain.

"See? See, I knew it was bad." Candace said, pulling me away. "Let's go." We ran off into the night, the pain fading with every step.

Phineas' pov

I opened the door into the street. It was empty and quiet. I felt the burning connection was disappearing, then it was gone. I fought the urge to cry and stood staring at the street until Heinz came to get me. He walked me back to my room and gave me a glass of hot cocoa, telling me everything was gonna be okay. It was nice, but when he left all I thought about was Ferb.

Hope you like it! Review please!
