"Why don't you kids go watch a movie or play some games together in the boys' room or something?" Mr. Flynn-Fletcher suggested as we made our way towards our two rooms, which were labeled "221A" and the other, "221B".

He was surely wanting us to give his wife some space to feel better, and I honestly thought that was the best choice.

When you have heat stroke, -or whatever you like to call it- you don't want the sun to shine, and get in your eyes, and you don't want to move or do anything, so it would make sense why we probably wouldn't want to be around.

"Sure! Sounds fun!" Phineas exclaimed as he pulled a key card out of his back pocket, and unlocked room "221B", which was the room the boys shared.

Ferb nodded in agreement and so did I before we followed the red-head into the darkened room.

This might be another perfect opportunity to figure out this whole "Phineas" thing.

"I'm going to put on my pajamas, you guys can pick what we do." I said as I took my shoes off and quickly, but quietly went to the other room to grab my pajamas before coming back to "221B" and changing in the boys' bathroom.

Of course, their bathroom wasn't the cleanest, but it was still pretty neat, and tidy for boys.

There were a couple damp towels on the floor here and there, -most likely from their showers this morning- and some items scattered about the counter.

It was only 6:00 and we hadn't eaten dinner, but we can get room service or something. I know we won't be going back out. Besides, these clothes are getting a little uncomfortable.

"So what are we doing guys?" I asked as I came out of the bathroom in my soft pink pajama shorts, and white t-shirt, and set my folded day clothes on the corner of the dresser thingy the TV was set on.

"We were thinking of playing some card games, like liar, go fish, etc." Phineas explained as he watched Ferb shuffle the deck of cards while they both sat on Phineas' bed.

Now let me just say; Ferb has some mad card shuffling skills.
It's quite amazing. He must have practiced a ton to be able to shuffle like that. I can't even begin to explain it.
I don't think I can even shuffle cards normally.

"Sounds fun." I said as I sat down at the foot of the bed, and faced the boys while Ferb dealt the cards.

He divided up the deck between the three of us, so I guessed we were playing liar.

This should be fun, especially since it's really obvious when Phineas lies.

"Liar?" Phineas guessed as he looked at the hand he was dealt, and Ferb nodded.

"Aw! You know I always lose!" Phineas complained sifting through his cards one by one.

I think that's exactly why Ferb chose this first. But that's just a guess. Ferb is impossible to read.

"One ace." I started and threw my only ace facedown into the space between the three of us.

You see, when you play liar, you first divide up the deck between the players, then someone goes first and lays down an ace, and saying how many he/she has. Then the next person (you usually go around the circle) puts down however many twos they have and say something like "three twos" and so on, like "one three".

Now, say it was my turn and I had to put down however many fives I had, and...I didn't have any, then I would "lie" and put down a different card, but say it's a five. (Following me?)
If someone suspects I was "lying" then that person says "liar" and if I lied, I would say so and then the pile of cards would be mine, now if I hadn't been lying, then the person who called out the so called liar, would take the pile.
Then the first person who runs out of cards wins.

It's a fun game.

"One two." Ferb said as he threw his two onto the pile.

We went around the circle a couple times, -Ferb saying as little as possible, while making hand gestures- and so far no one seemed to be lying.

"Uhm..." Phineas said, before clearing his throat and sifting through his cards.
"One King." He said and threw his card onto the now rather large pile, before scratching his ear.

I don't know why I find amusement in this...

"Liar!" I called a little too loudly out of excitement, and grabbed his card to look at it.

It was a king.

"What?!" I said out of disbelief as stared at the card.

I saw all the signs! I swear!

Phineas laughed.
"Gotcha'!" He said as he pushed the pile of cards towards me.

"On the bright side, you'll have so many cards, you'll be able to keep track of the ones you don't have, therefore able to tell who really is lying." Ferb pointed out as he looked at his cards.

I scrunched up my nose in disproval as I picked up the pile of about 25 cards, and started sorting them by number.

Smaller numbers in the front, bigger in the back.

By the time I had all my cards in my hand all sorted, it was my turn to play an ace, which -oddly enough- I didn't have.

Someone either has all four aces, or they're split up between the boys somehow. Great. I might not get past them.

I picked the closest card in my hand to an ace -it was a three- and put it down, saying, "One ace" before looking a down at my cards and calculating which number I would have to put down once we made it around the circle
again.

"Liar" Ferb called before putting a card down after he had pushed the five card pile towards me.

"Dangit." I muttered, which earned a chuckle from Phineas.

We played that game for about an hour, and each time I lost. Usually I'm good at card games. But not today.

Cringy ending: Check...

Sorry I didn't post earlier.
School started up again today, and then I went to a friend's house.
Busy, busy...

Well, I hope you had a good day.
