Am I doing too many dream sequences? Review and tell me! BTW this is a daydream and/or vision type thing.
Phineas' pov
I dreamed I was missing. You were so scared.
"Where's Phineas?" Ferb asked anxiously.
"He must have gone down over the canyon." Suzy told him.
"We need to go look for him!"
"No!" Suzy yelled. "No. It's either him or your Dad. Choose one."
But no one would listen – cause no one else cared.
"We don't need you. We don't want you. You will never belong with us." I stared at who I thought were my friends in disbelief. No.
After my dreaming I woke with this fear – what am I leaving? When I'm done here?
I looked over at my friends. They were all discussing what we would need. I saw how they were arguing, like the plan was going to work and everything would go back to normal. Like if they didn't do something they knew was wrong they would be okay. Like they would live a long and fulfilling life. Unlike me.
So if you're asking me I want you to know –
When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Don't be afraid – I've taken my beating, I've shed but I'm me.
I smiled for Isabella, and Ferb. I wanted them to think that it would be okay. I knew that the optimism I'd stored up inside me wouldn't last much longer. I wished I could go back and change what I'd done so none of this would happen and I wouldn't have to die.
"Hey you okay?" Isabella asked gently. I wanted to tell her so bad. But I couldn't, because if I said it out loud, it would be true and I would have to do it.
I'm strong on the surface, not all the way through.
I walked up to the others. "No." I said. "You can't just walk in. You need to get rid of the guards and cameras first." They nodded and listened as I told them my plan.
I've never been perfect – but neither have you.
I handed Ferb my watch. "Here. You can use this as a smoke bomb or something." I said.
"I don't have the tools to reprogram it. Watches don't blow themselves up." He said.
"When they get dropped in a building's transformer they do." I grinned. I wished my plan wouldn't involve a canyon – which probably proved my nightmare was true. I wanted to live so bad, but I couldn't do what Carter told me was the only way to keep – it – from happening to me.
So if you're asking me I want you to know –
When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
"There's something I've always wanted to know." I said to Isabella. She turned those beautiful - ? – eyes on me.
"What's that?" She asked.
"Why do you where a bow all the time?" I asked.
"My Mom makes them for me. She says I have to wear one all the time. I'm not sure why. Maybe cause me Dad likes it or whatever." She said. Something was weird about that. Wait a minute –
"You have to wear this all the time now, you get it?" My dad said harshly. I nodded. "Cause if you don't then you'll be able to do things that make you a freak. And we don't want that, now do we?" I shook my toddler head nervously.
'Things that make you a freak' – he meant my powers. That must mean – "Hey Izzy, can you take it off for a sec? I want to see what you look like without it." I asked sweetly.
"Well I don't know. My Mom was pretty serious when she said 'all the time'." Isabella said.
"For me?" I asked innocently.
"Well – okay." She said. Wow I can't believe that worked. She took it off. I searched her face for some sign she was a Shadow.
"How do you feel?" I asked. She smiled ecstatically.
"Amazing! It's like a giant clasp around me was –"
"Was finally removed and now you can move freely for the first time." I finished. Izzy smiled.
"Exactly." She said softly. I smiled back at her. I knew it. Wow, when Mom said we were living with people who had things in common with us she wasn't kidding.
"Hey Lovebirds! Get over here and plan the break in with the rest of us!" Suzy yelled. We blushed and got up. I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if Izzy was really my girlfriend. I pushed those thoughts away quickly. We were just friends. Just friends.
"You need to get your powers under control. You're evolving too quickly." My dad said. I pushed away from him with my surprisingly strong 2-year-old arms.
"I thought that was what the headband was for." I muttered. This was getting to a dangerous level. He wanted me dead. Or turned into a mindless zombie weapon. I may have been a toddler, but I wasn't stupid.
"Yes but you can't hide behind it forever. Sooner or later you're going to get too strong for it to suppress your power. Did you see those flames in the bathroom? Do you want that to happen again?" I shook my head. "Didn't think so. You need to get under control soon. You're not the only Shadow in this family. And if you don't learn to suppress your powers, I will punish you for it." And by punish, he meant kill. Time to go. I opened my mouth and exercised my 'powerful' lungs.
"MOOO-MMMYY!" I yelled. "DADDY'S HURTING ME!" Dad glared at me.
"Not yet. But he will be."
