Ferb's pov
Isabella screamed as Phineas, Elina, Sammy, and Beka were engulfed by the thick, toxic atmosphere. I covered my ears and looked at her reproachfully.
"Could you please try to be a little quieter?" I asked, frustrated. "Rescuing people is a lot easier when you're not suddenly deaf!"
"Sorry," Isabella said sheepishly. I nodded and steered the makeshift ship towards the place I had last seen them. Through the windshield I barely saw them being pulled at by aliens. I felt anger rise up in my gut. Oh no they didn't! I aimed, then fired a tractor beam at them. I hit them, not the aliens.
"Nice aim." Vanessa said. I allowed myself a small smile before pulling my brother and friends in. I transported them to the containment unit I'd built to get the poisonous molecules off them. "Once again, how did you build this on such short notice?" Vanessa asked. I made a face.
"It was harder without Phineas, he usually handles all the circuitry and computer stuff," I said. It took me a while to process the fact that I had just spoken more than five words out loud of my own free will. But I didn't have much time to think about it before Buford and Baljeet were forcing me to turn the ship around and go back. I piloted us out of the dimension quickly. Too quickly. I sighed as we entered our dimension at a much-too-steep angle of descent. Oh boy. I thought. Everyone, hang on to something because we're about to crash land from 40,000 feet!
"Thank you," I said. Everyone scrambled to hold onto something as we raced for the ground in a nosedive. I tried to pull us out of it, but I realized the momentum of our exit from the other dimension was too much to stop the fall. Instead, I jumped away from the front of the plane and hung onto a lever that was only there in case of crash landing. We were doing a lot of that today. I closed my eyes and waited for us to hit the ground. The world went pink. Wait, what?
Phineas' pov
I woke up slowly, my eyes crusted over. The world was blurry, and white. And it smelled like disinfectant. Was I in a hospital? I looked around. Nope. Hospitals generally don't let their patients lie on the ground in uncomfortable positions. I sat up and groped around for a hairpin or something to help me pick the lock. That is, if the door had a lock. I walked over to it. It looked like a hand-scanner lock type thing. I placed my hand on the scanner.
"Phineas Flynn. Access granted." A computer voice said. Ferb did pretty good without me. I pouted and crossed my arms. I walked along a short hallway to a big room partly embedded in the ground. I looked at my friends. They were all sleeping like babies. I walked over to a control panel and hacked into the mainframe. I altered the computer sound system to play music and put on a lullaby my Mom used to sing to me when I was, like, two or something. Then I sat on the spinny chair to witness the results of my wicked deeds.
It was really hilarious.
The first to wake up was Buford. Well, sort of wake up. His eyes flickered open and he curled into a ball, sucking his thumb. It was all I could do to keep from laughing out loud. Then Baljeet became conscious and muttered something about Beethoven making babies smarter and I should be playing that. I rolled my eyes. Vanessa rolled onto her back and yelled something like 'Dad turn that !$?&* junk off!' I giggled. People using bad language is always hilarious to me for some reason. Isabella smiled in her sleep and gave an angelic sigh. Wow. She looked so pretty on her back with her arm tucked behind her head I shook my head to clear it. Ferb's eyes flickered and he propped himself up on his elbows. He smiled softly. I put a finger in front of my lips. He nodded. Then we turned to watch the rest of our friends act like idiots (except Izzy) in their sleep. That is, until a door somewhere was yanked open and we heard a very familiar voice screaming
"What do you mean access denied? PHINEAS AND FERB YOU ARE SO BUSTED FOR BUILDING WHATEVER THIS THING IS!" I gulped as everyone woke up and glared at me.
You should probably get going. Ferb said.
"Good idea." I said.
"GET HIM!" Sammy yelled.
Thanks to irken24 for suggesting I go with pink instead of black when the guys were blacking out. And she/he is beta reading this for me so thanks a million! You can add something here if you want. So yeah, awkward silence, I have nothing more to say.
irken24: Very well then. TACOS RULE
