CHAPTER FIFTEEN
"What do you mean by these conditions?," asked Timmy, "do you mean that it's too noisy or something in here?"
"Well, part of it," said A.J., "you heard that loud argument, it would be difficult for even me to concentrate."
"Yeah," said Cosmo, "I thought your parents were going to kill Vicky."
Timmy's eyes brightened up and he bolted straight up.
"My Mom and Dad are here," the buck toothed boy replied excitedly, "that means they remember everything!"
Timmy, then, proceeded to leap out of bed.
"No, Timmy," said A.J., "don't get up."
It was too late, though. Timmy, forgetting that he was hooked up to an I.V., wound up crashing into the I.V. stand and the table near him.
Chester looked shocked at Vicky's offer of, well, maybe not friendship, but of acceptance. Of course, the babysitter might be lying. She had a history of trickery and deception after all. Chester looked over at Tootie and then at Isaac and finally at Vicky. There was a look of uncertainty in his green eyes.
Vicky noticed this.
"I know Chester," the red head said, "You don't trust me."
"A lot of people don't," said Chester who then cringed, and said, "Oops, I shouldn't have said that."
"No," said Vicky, "but it's true. Hopefully, though, I can earn your trust."
The Turners watched this exchange without commenting. They were still a little angry at Vicky about what they had found out about her.
Or, did, like Vicky said, they always knew deep down inside how Timmy was treated, but chose to ignore it.
Timmy. Both Todd and Theresa Turner looked at each other as if they were thinking the same thing. They approached Jorgen Von Strangle.
"Mr. Jorgen, sir," said said Todd, "Can we go in yet to see our son?"
Before Jorgen could answer, a loud crash came from the room that Timmy was in.
Sheen was laying on the floor and rubbing his chin. Libbie had quite a punch. Sheen looked up clearly confused,
"Libbie, my honey, why?"
"Why?" said Libbie, "you got a lot of nerve asking that and acting like you care about me especially since you've been dating a blue alien floozy for months!"
"Oh, Aseefa," said Sheen, "is she okay?"
"Is SHE okay," said Libbie, even more incensed, "why you..."
Cindy, though, caught Libbie by the arm and said,
"Calm down girl."
Jimmy then went to Sheen's side and helped him up.
"I...heard...she'd been taken prisoner," said Sheen..., "I don't want anything to happen to her."
Before more could be said, though, Jimmy spoke,
"She's fine Sheen, she's back on Zeenu with her tribe."
"What about Nesmith my pet monkey?" asked Sheen.
"I AM not a monkey," came a very cultured English voice, "and I'm certainly NOT a pet."
"Right Monkey boy," replied Sheen to Nesmith.
"Sheen, will you be serious?" asked Jimmy firmly, "You and Libbie need to talk alone and work this out."
"I couldn't agree with you more Neutron," said Cindy, "Why don't we leave these two alone?"
Cindy, Danny, Jimmy, Nesmith and the Timmy Turner Clone walked out of the main room into one of the side rooms in the ship leaving a very nervous Sheen and a very angry Libby facing each other.
"Well," said Libby, "would you care to explain yourself?"
Jimmy sat down and Cindy sat down beside him. The Clone looked up at Danny.
"I don't understand" said "Timmy", I thought Jimmy said that Libby and Sheen liked each other?"
"They do," replied Jimmy.
"Then why did Libby hit him?"
"That's why she hit him," statedDanny, "because she likes him."
The boy looked confused and then smiled a little bit and said,
"Then Trixie must really like me 'cause she has me beat up by her bodyguard all the time."
The group laughed, but then the Clone looked down sad.
"What's wrong, Timmy?" asked Cindy.
"I was just thinking about Trixie; I miss her and my friends and my mom and dad. I wanna go home."
Perry and Phineas looked up at Ferb nervously. The platypus and the red headed boy, then, exchanged glances between themselves. Finally Phineas spoke,
"Well, this isn't the way I planned to explain it, but I guess this will have to do."
"Phin," said Ferb, "explain what? What's going on? and Why is Perry wearing those earphones?"
"Come over here for a second bro," replied Phineas, "I've got something to show you AND tell you about."
Ferb approached his brother and their pet. Both he and Phineas sat down on the floor.
"You see Ferb," said his brother, "Perry is...,"
Suddenly a loud female voice that the brothers knew all too well came from behind them.
"Ah-HA, Phineas and Ferb, you two are SO busted."
The I.V. contents were all over the floor along with Timmy who now seemed to be having trouble breathing. Norm and A.J. caught the boy by his arms and put him back in the bed. Timmy looked like he was in a bit of pain. A.J. winced.
"That's another reason buddy," said A.J., "in addition to the conditions in this cave, I'm worried about YOUR condition."
"What do you mean my condition?," asked the pink hatted boy.
"Turner," said Norm, "I don't know if you've noticed but a lot of people seem to want to kill you and they've come close to succeeding."
"Yeah," agreed A.J., "Timmy, you've been sucked up by the Darkness, attacked by Remy Buxaplenty, stabbed by Anti-Cosmo, sucked up AGAIN by the darkness and attacked by a fairy council member. Not to mention, you've been the victim of some pretty severe neglect by your parents."
"Yeah," said Timmy, "but I've always pulled through."
"That's the problem Timmy," said Norm, "You..."
Suddenly, though, there was a loud banging on the door and a voice, no two voices, said
"Timmy, are you okay?"
"It's my parents," said Timmy, happily.
Sure enough, it was who Phineas and Ferb thought it was; their older sister Candace.
"You know," stated Candace, "I don't know what's going on here or why Perry has headphones on, but I know you two are up to something so I'm getting Mom and Dad and you two are so going DOWN, DOWN, DOWN."
With that the sixteen year old ran out of the baggage car.
"Okay, Perry," said Phineas, "we need somewhere private to discuss all of this."
Ferb looked very curious.
"I promise Ferb," said Phineas, "everything will make sense but first let's all find some place to talk.
