Phineas and Ferb: A Stitch in Time
Chapter Four: The Few, The Proud
Phineas's POV
I stood there in a state of shock and disbelief, mainly because part of me believed him. No way, that can't be true. Then he thought back to all of the times he had traveled through time and if this was indeed his son than it he would be able to do the same thing.
"O-k? You're my son?" I finally forced myself to say. Adrian nodded in agreement and I looked over at Ferb who was staring at both me and "my children". Finally he spoke,
"Well, they all have genetic characteristics similar to yours…" I stared at him, wondering what was going on.
"So, what are you do-" he began to say but was cut off by Julia who had just gotten the point. Adrian and Angela rolled their eyes as Julia squealed, "DADDY!"
"What do you guys want?" Ferb asked for me. Even though I gave him a help me look he just let Julia squeeze the life out of me. It wasn't the most comfortable thing he'd ever experienced but seeing it as his only way out, he finally returned the hug. Then he turned to his other kids and asked, "Yeah, what do ya guys need?"
"Well, the thing is, dad, I mean you, invented a device the measured whether or not the timeline was correctly oriented and well, someone went back in time and change the timeline." Adrian quickly replied. I tried focusing on him but another part of my mind was stuck on the fact that all my kids shared Isabella's characteristics too. She likes me? Do I like her? I'm so confused! Then, I realized I had zoned out, and Ferb tapped my shoulder, "Uh, Phineas?"
"Oh sorry, wait a sec, if the timeline's changed shouldn't you guys have changed with it?" I asked. Adrian then point to his watch and replied,
"You invented this to protect us from that but you didn't have time to finish his own watch or mom's watch, but it's our job to fix the timeline and we need your help!" This was too weird but he had to help, but not yet he needed to rest.
"Ferb, I know what we're gonna do tomorrow!" I replied as Ferb wrote it down in his book. I glanced over at Adrian, who was a little disappointed we wouldn't start now but was looking forward to some rest. So they snuck them in, agreeing it would be better if his parents didn't see their future grandchildren. Candace even walked in once but was too busy day dreaming about Jeremy to notice so we locked our room for the first time and went to sleep.
Adrian's POV
This isn't the sort of thing you say to your father but, what the hell? The fate of the future isn't something you sleep on, no matter how tired you are. It was midnight and I was still wide awake, I looked over to Phineas, Ferb, and my sisters wondering how they could sleep. I continued to shut my eyes and pretend, to just keep trying but his father had trusted him with this mission. He couldn't fail, it wasn't an option. Finally, he drifted to sleep, only to be disturbed by nightmares.
Phinea's POV (Dream)
"Would you like to go to the Night of the Falling Stars Girl's Choice Dance tonight?" Isabella asked still in her lab coat. It sounded like a wonderful idea after we changed out of our space suits.
"Sounds like fun!" I replied. Then I worried about our schedule, but me and Ferb usually keep evenings open for friends.
"Really?" Isabella asked cheerfully. I glanced at Ferb and asked, "Ferb, How's our nine o'clock?" and once Ferb gave me the thumbs up, "Ok we'll be there!"
"Both of you?" Isabella asked in a quizzical fashion. I couldn't understand but she sounded a little disappointed.
"Yeah, why don't you come over and we can all walk over together!" I said, a giant grin on my face.
"Sure, no prob." Isabella replied sadly.
The dream ended, but I stirred so slowly to see Julia curled in a ball next to me with her thumb in her mouth. This was all so much for him to take. How could he be so stupid not to realize that Isabella liked him? The only thing was, he had always liked her too. He just never wanted to come off as weird or anything, never wanted to show his true feelings out of embarrassment. Now he did for the sake of the friendship and for the fact that every time he wasaround her he just couldn't do it. Flynn, what have you gotten yourself into? I had to find some way to fix the timeline, but I wouldn't be able to do it until I find out what needs to be fixed and the differences between the two timelines. I'd have to talk to my alternate future self, Ferb could do some research, Isabella and the fireside girls could help too. Buford would inevitably come with Baljeet and they needed a computer geek to hack into some mainframes. Buford would add some security even though he's coward, he can fight. He stayed up about an hour planning the process, and then he fell asleep and went back to dreaming about Isabella.
Adrian's POV(The Next Day)
Oh what a long morning, getting all the troops assemble and trying to get Isabella to focus on the fireside troop. Now everyone had know the plan, the first step would be to find out what happened to Phineas, using the eye cameras they installed when shortly before their trip around the world, according to phineas they would still work. Then we would lock onto his genetic signature and transport him to codename "Haven", or the room that's timeline proof. Then we'd get future Ferb, find out where the stitch happened and erase it from history.
"All right, everyone ready?" I asked, everyone quickly responded. The portal opened and we all stepped through.
"All, girls, move, move, move! Set everything up!" Isabella ordered her troop as everyone began to run to their places. Baljeet began to research the history, while the fireside girls installed the separate work stations phineas and ferb had build. He described it as the most terrible thing he'd ever seen. It was World War Three, even America had been invaded, but all nuclear arms had been disabled by some experimental French weapon. The lines had been drawn and it was a fight to the finish. The casualties lists were unbearable. Julia and Angela burst into tears but being a fireside boy I managed to keep my cool.
"Don't worry we're gonna fix this." I comforted them. Then Baljeet screamed out that he had found Phineas. Everyone gathered around the screen and waited for the screen to load. What they saw shocked everyone.
