Disclaimer: I do not own anything but the story in general and a few OCs that will be presented later.
Chapter One...AKA "The Chaos Begins"...AKA "The Prolouge"
"Ha! Beat ya again!" Phineas grinned, already eager for the day's beginning. What to do, what to do? There were so many options, so much to do, to
discover, so much to explore! Heck, there were NO limits to keep this team of step-brothers and a few other friends down. He looked over to Ferb's bed,
realizing that Ferb was just as awake, silent but giving a small grin, a rare occurence in the Flynn-Fletcher household. They climbed out of bed in almost
exact unison, mirroring each other's actions. They ran for the stairs, Ferb reaching them first, then slid down the rail, one brother following after the other
landed, almost crashing. The duo walked into the kitchen, to be welcomed with an assorted variety of breakfast items, Phineas taking a few pancakes with
butter and syrup, Ferb taking a bagel with cream cheese and an apple. The boys sat down at the table facing each other, beginning to nibble on breakfast.
"Well, good morning! I practically made a whole breakfast buffet this morning for the first day of summer, so eat all you want." Linda greeted them, heading
out the door.
"Where are you going?" Phineas asked cheerfully.
"I have a few errands to run! I should be back in time for lunch. Bye, boys!" she told them, giving a small wave. "Oh, and don't forget to get the mail!"
"We won't!" Phineas repiled, Ferb giving a simple thumbs-up to her. The woman smiled warmly then left. The boys ate their breakfast quickly, both eager
to get started on a new project.
"So, what should we try today? Defy physics? Train a donkey? Have a bubble-wrap parade?" Phineas asked. Ferb gave a shrug. Then almost as if on cue,
the gate door opened, revealing their unmistakable friend, Isabella. Over the years, they had all changed physically. But not as much as Izzy. Isabella's raven-black
hair was kept back in a neat ponytail, with a new white bow with pink stripes in it's orginal spot. She had changed up her style, now wearing a light pink blouse, a
bright pink skirt with white and pale pink stripes, and white ballet-flats. She was taller now too, but surprisingly, was shorter than Phineas, who had had a growth
sprurt last year. She had also gained some curves. Phineas was overall the same, but he was taller and a little more muscular than before. He had kept
his friendly child-like demeanor, and it suited him well. Ferb was still the tallest, but he also became the thinnest. Ferb now wore a dark purple and green T-shirt,
jeans with a black belt, and a pair of black sneakers. His hair was the same leaf-green color but it now complimented his grayish blue eyes, making him seem more
older and more mature than he really was. His British accent had developed to some degree, charming almost each and every girl.
"So, what'cha doing?" Isabella asked sweetly, walking over to Phineas.
"We don't know yet. Have any ideas?" Phineas repiled.
"Well, maybe you could plan a 'get-together' to celebrate the first night of summer," Isabella suggested, "Or maybe a water-ballon fight inside a giant stadium!"
"Brilliant, Izzy! But, wait a minute. We need to ask Mom or Dad. And we need to get the mail out." Phineas told her, not forgetting his mom's request.
Ferb nodded and got up to grab the mail, as Phineas dialed his mom's number on his cell. Ferb went around the house and walked over to the mailbox,
unknowing that one letter would change the events dramatically. He pulled the envolopes out and looked through them. Bill. Junk. Junk. Junk. Magazine.
Junk. Taxes. Letter for him. Wait, a letter? For him? He frowned curiously and opened the envolope. After reading the letter about 12 times, he paled and
stumbled a bit before dragging himself back to the backyard, feeling sick and a bit fever-ish. Was this some kind of cruel prank? He was going mad, wasn't he?
"Phineas? W-will you come over here f-for a second?" Ferb's voice was unusually shaky and quiet, but nevertheless, Phineas heard him loud and clear.
"Ferb, you okay, bro? Is there something wrong? Are you sick?" Phineas asked, noticing his brother's thin, pale frame shaking.
Ferb, unable to directly answer, just headed his brother the letter.
"Read it." he said, going inside, knowing a break-down in front of Phineas would make things worse. He went into their room, climbed into his bed
pulling the covers over himself, going through a silent panic attack, attempting to calm himself down for Phineas' sake. He took an extra-deep breath and
climbed out of the bed and walked uneasily to the window to watch his brother. He instantly regretted his own decision as he watched Phineas' happy face
wretching into a horrifed, shocked grimace, a few tears welling in his light blue eyes. Isabella walked over to Phineas slowly, and gave him a light pat on
the shoulder, trying to figure the cause of Phineas sudden change in emotion.
"Phineas, may I see the note for a second?" she asked gently. She knew that the letter must've completely HORRIBLE to get a reaction like that from Phineas.
Phineas nodded, rubbing his eyes and handing over the seemingly normal piece of paper. Isabella read it over with netural expression until she read
that depressing last paragraph. No wonder Phineas was so upset! She gave Phineas a tight reassuring hug, attempting to comfort him.
"Phineas, get your brother and met me at the Executive Fireside Girls' lodge in 20 minutes. I'm calling an emergeny meeting."
"What good will that do?" Phineas sniffled, resisting the urge to throw a tantrum.
"We'll figure something out. Maybe he won't have to leave. Don't lose hope yet!" Isabella told him, "Just come."
Phineas sighed, his first tear coming down his cheek. He, Phineas Flynn, had already lost his hope as soon as he had read those last few sentences.
Ferb was being sent back to England at the end of the week, never to return to America. His mother had just gained custody of him.
Phineas' hope was only lost for now, but he knew that once Ferb left, all his hope would leave him too.
I hope that wasn't too short or horrible. Please give opinions, flames, tips, anything! Just want to know what ya'll think.
I plan to update ASAP, even if I don't get any reviews.
But for now, PEACE!
