A/N: Just a quick warning before we get started. This half of the story isn't as good. I kinda rushed through it... But, anyway, enjoy!
The Other Side
"Okay, boys, we're going now!" Linda Flynn-Fletcher called from the car, before slipping into her seat beside the driver. Her husband, Lawrence Fletcher, honked the horn playfully.
"Coming, Mom!" Phineas called. He turned to his across-the-street neighbour, and friend.
"Make sure you take good care of him, Isabella," he told her. Isabella was holding their pet platypus, Perry, nodding as he spoke.
"Don't worry, Phineas," she said. "I'll take the best care of him." Phineas smiled, confident in her word. He and his stepbrother, Ferb, waved goodbye, and ran to the car. Isabella waved back.
"I still don't see why I had to come too," their teenaged sister, Candace growled, crossing her arms, and sinking back into her seat. "Jeremy wanted me to go out with him this afternoon, but I had to say no, because we're going to a stupid theme park that'll take all morning to get to, and all evening to get home from!"
"The boys have been wanting to go to this theme park for a while now, Candace," Linda said patiently to her high-strung daughter. "Your father and I promised to take them today. And I seem to recall you being excited, too." Candace rolled her eyes.
"Sit tight, boys," Lawrence said to Phineas and Ferb, who sat quietly in the back seats beside their sister. "We'll be there in a couple of hours."
"Oh, and let me get one thing straight," Candace lectured, pointing at her brother and stepbrother. "This is a theme park. People don't build crazy contraptions that mysteriously disappear before Mom can see them at theme parks. There are enough rides, so promise me you won't do anything crazy today!" Phineas glanced at Ferb, who shrugged.
"Okay, Candace, we promise," Phineas agreed. "How bad could it be? We'll be having too much fun to think about any projects."
"Sign this." Candace thrust a piece of paper in their faces, along with a pen. It said 'Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher solemnly promise our sister, Candace Flynn, we will not do any 'bustable' projects, and embarrass her in front of the whole world. And if we break said promise, we will suffer the consequences without complaint. Signed _' Phineas shrugged at his stepbrother and signed the paper. Ferb did the same.
"Perfect!" Candace cheered.
"I'm sure the boys will be very well-behaved, Candace," Linda said with a smile. "But, if it makes you feel better, I'll keep an eye on them, and 'bust' them if they do anything inappropriate." Candace's eyes brightened, and she giggled to herself. She knew her brothers - Phineas especially - could hardly go a day without building anything. They'd do something for sure, and then they would be totally busted!
"Ferb, did you know Gooboland has the coolest rollar coaster in the world?" Phineas asked his stepbrother excitedly. Ferb nodded.
"We can compare it to our roller coaster," Ferb agreed. "And see if they have the right to the title."
"Did you hear that, Mom?!" Candace shriked. "They just confessed it! They admit that they built a roller coaster!" But Linda had dozed off in her seat, and Lawrence was listening to music in headphones. Neither of them had heard the boys' conversation.
"You really should have gone on our roller coaster," Phineas said to Candace. "You would have loved it!"
"Would have loved it even more if Mom saw it..." Candace grumbled.
"Yeah!" Phineas agreed. "Mom would have loved it too!"
"No, Mom would not have loved it! She would have thought it was dangerous, and grounded you for life!"
"Candace, Phineas," Linda said in a warning tone. "Are you two fighting back there?"
"No!" the two said at the same time.
"I don't want any arguing on this trip, or else we'll turn around and come home."
"Yes, Mom," Phineas said. Linda smiled, and closed her eyes again.
