How's this for a quick update? Sadly, this is the last chapter for this story... so enjoy! :)
I do not own Phineas and Ferb...
Phineas was playing with his thumbs, while Ferb was flipping through a book. Neither of them said a word to each other, nor did they even make eye contact. Phineas sighed and began picking some pieces of grass out of his hair, and flicked them off and unto the floor. He leaned back up against the bed and continued to scowl.
Neither of the boys saw Perry looking at them from the side of their dresser. He had seen the fight that took pace earlier between his two owners, when he flew in from fighting of Doofenshmirtz. He snuck inside and hoped that they were just playing around or something. But when he saw their parents dragging them inside by their wrists and telling them to make up, he knew that he was wrong. The platypus looked at each of the boys and wondered what he could do to get them to talk to each other again. Seeing them like this was just unnatural, Perry didn't like it at all.
Perry remembered something and thought of a plan. He moved quickly and climbed up unto Phineas's bed. He snuggled up against the young boy to get his attention. Phineas sighed and put his hand on Perry's head. Perry walked closer and bit Phineas's shirt. He began tugging the boy hard, until he moaned,
"Not now Perry… I'll take you for a walk tomorrow."
Perry tugged once more, but Phineas once again shook his head.
"No Perry I can't take you out… I'm grounded thanks to Mister Promise-Breaker over there."
Ferb glanced over at his brother and huffed before turning back to his book. Perry nearly sighed, but decided to try with his other owner. He hopped off of Phineas's bed and unto Ferb's. He began pulling on Ferb's shirt, but Ferb just shook his head. Perry thought for a moment and got an idea when he looked down at Ferb's book. He let go of the shirt and took hold of the book. He whisked it out of Ferb's hands and ran off the bed and into the closet.
Ferb frowned, "Hey Perry… my book!"
He followed Perry into the closet and crouched down on the ground. He saw Perry near the back of the closet so Ferb crawled in next to him. He rubbed his pet's head and chuckled,
"Silly boy… my book is not for eating."
He grabbed his book and went to leave, when something Perry was sitting near caught his eye. He picked up the object and realized that it was a picture frame. He flipped it over and nearly gasped when he saw the picture. He remembered when this picture was taken…
It was the day that his father took him to meet Phineas and his family for the first time. The two got along right away and began playing together. By the end of the play date, the two of them were covered in dirt and were all tired out. Linda thought it was so sweet, she went inside to grab the camera. The two boys smiled wide as the picture was taken. Phineas had his arm around Ferb's shoulder, while Ferb used his hand to give Phineas bunny ears…
Ferb leaned up against the wall and smiled at the memory. Soon after that their parents fell in love and got married… making them all one big family. He set the picture frame down and wrapped his arms around his knees. While he was thinking, Perry quickly whisked away the picture frame and brought it out of the closet. He hopped up on Phineas's bed and placed the frame down. Phineas looked down and frowned slightly,
"What you got there, boy?"
Phineas picked up the picture frame and his eyes grew wide when he saw the picture. That day… this picture was taken the day he met Ferb. His mom told him that her old friend had a son about his age and was bringing him by to visit. As soon as Phineas saw Ferb, he knew right away that they were going to be great friends. Who would've thought that a couple months after that day, him and Ferb would become brothers?
Phineas looked up at the closet where his brother disappeared into and swung his feet over the bed. He looked down at Perry and smiled as he rubbed his pet's back,
"Thanks buddy… I owe you one."
Phineas hopped off of the bed and crawled into the closet. He found Ferb sitting in the back of the closet with his head buried into his knees. Phineas crawled over and sat beside his brother. Ferb heard him and peeked up at him from the corner of his eye.
Phineas smiled slightly, "Hey…"
Ferb leaned back up against the wall and kept an unreadable expression.
Phineas rubbed the back of his neck, "Ferb I… I'm really sorry for breaking your camera and ruining your blue prints. And… I'm also sorry for shoving you and starting a fight that should have never begun." Phineas sighed and looked up at his brother's dark blue eyes, "Look Ferb I… I know siblings tend to fight sometimes, but you know I really never did think that we would ever fight. I mean we usually get along so well. We like and enjoy the same things, and we would never do anything intentionally to hurt each other… well, at least until today."
Ferb nodded slightly and sighed, "I know… and I'm awful sorry for breaking your drill, and I am beyond sorry for revealing your secret. I knew I shouldn't have but… I was just so mad that…" Ferb faded off and bit his lip,
Phineas shifted closer, "You were mad because it seems like all of the attention is focused on me?"
"I… it sounds kind of selfish when you put it that way. But yes, yes I was…"
"So you didn't mean it when you said those things about me?"
Ferb almost forgot about that. He quickly looked over and shook his head, "Phin I never meant those words. You are amazing and-"
Phineas shook his head, "You're right though Ferb… I am just another human being. I make mistakes and I do things that I later regret. And… and I used to wet the bed like any other kid."
Ferb shook his head and placed a hand on Phineas's shoulder, "Phineas to me you're not just another human being. You are, and always will be my brother. Not just any brother, MY brother. You are amazing, unique and you have a very creative mind. And in my opinion, those words are an understatement… you are the best brother I could ever ask for, and I'm just so glad to have you."
Phineas suddenly sniffed and wiped his eyes, "Ferb stop it… you're making me get all worked up." Ferb chuckled as Phineas continued, "But don't leave yourself out of this. When you came along, you helped me create and help make summer even better then it was already. Your awesome when it comes to tools, I mean I've never seen anyone else our age know how to properly use a jackhammer. Not to mention you've helped me get through life… you listen to my problems and my constant rambling about things that most people don't care about. You've helped me get out of trouble, and you even gotten in trouble with me. If anyone's amazing, it's you… when I was younger I've always wondered what it would be like to have a brother just like you."
Ferb smiled slightly and wiped his eyes, "Now I'm all worked up…"
Phineas laughed softly before placing both hands on his brother's shoulders, "Ferb I really am sorry about your camera… I know how much it meant to you, and I shouldn't have broken it…"
Ferb shrugged slightly, "Eh, it was just a camera. There are thousands more out there like it."
"Yeah… that's why I decided you needed something more special and unique."
Ferb raised an eyebrow, but Phineas just grinned and grabbed his brother's hand. He tugged him to his feet and led him out of the closet. Once they were out, Phineas released Ferb and walked over to where the nightstand is. He opened up the drawer and took something out. He turned back to Ferb and held the object behind his back.
He sighed and rubbed his feet on the ground, "I know it's not from your dad and it's not 'best steel day', but here… I made it for you."
Phineas pulled his hands out in front of him to reveal a shiny new camera. Ferb's eyes grew wide as he picked the camera up from Phineas's hands. It looked almost exactly like his old one, but better. He felt his eyes welling up,
"Phin…"
Phineas grinned, "Press the red button on top and see what it does."
Ferb nodded and did so. A small light shone from the camera and right in front of them was a holographic picture. Ferb flipped to the next one, and the next one and realized that some of his favorite pictures were back on it. He glanced curiously at Phineas, who smiled,
"I confess… I took your camera once before and put all of your pictures on my laptop so they wouldn't get lost. I'm really glad that I did that."
Ferb smiled slightly and turned off the holographic picture. He set the camera down, walked over to Phineas and flung his arms around him. Phineas stepped back slightly and asked,
"What's this for?"
Ferb hugged him tighter, "For being the best brother ever… thank you so much for the new camera. I love it…"
Phineas smiled and hugged his brother back, "I'm glad…"
Both boys continued to hug for a minute or so. Phineas sighed and patted Ferb's back,
"Let's promise to never fight like that ever again…"
Ferb nodded against his shoulder.
Phineas smiled and whispered, "Love you bro…"
Ferb rubbed Phineas's back and whispered back, "Love you too bro…"
The two of them pulled back when they heard someone go 'aw'. They turned to the door to see their parents and Candace watching them. Candace looked up at her parents,
"See mom? I told you I saw them working it out."
Phineas frowned slightly, "When did you check on us before?"
"You two have been hugging for a while, I had enough time to run back downstairs and grab mom and dad before the moment was over. Man, I'm on a busting roll today."
Everyone laughed at this. Phineas sighed and looked up at his parents,
"Mom, dad? I'm really sorry for starting the fight out in the backyard… Ferb and I made up and we're not going to fight like that anymore."
Both parents smiled wide.
"Glad to hear it." Laurence replied,
Linda clasped her hands together, "You know what? This calls for a picture. Let me go get my camera."
Before she could leave, Ferb spoke out, "Wait mum… you can use mine."
Lawrence frowned, "I thought you said that Phineas broke yours?"
"He did… but then he kind of made me a new one…"
Ferb grabbed his camera and handed it to his mom. Linda looked it over and smiled,
"I must say I am really impressed. First you two make a boat, and now Phineas can make cameras? That's remarkable."
Candace rolled her eyes, "Sure… you see the harmless small things they build. But when it comes to roller coasters and backyard beaches…"
Linda sighed, "Give it a rest Candace… okay you two, stand close together and smile."
The boys moved closer together, when Phineas suddenly snapped his fingers,
"Wait a second mom, there's someone else who should be in the picture."
He walked over to his bed and picked up Perry. He smiled up at Ferb,
"After all, he's the one who helped us make up."
Ferb smiled and nodded his head in agreement. Phineas walked back over to Ferb and held Perry in one arm and put his other one around Ferb's shoulder. Ferb put his arm around Phineas's shoulder and at the last second, lifted two fingers up behind his brother's head. Both boys smiled wide as their mom pressed the button and took the picture.
A couple of days later, Ferb downloaded the picture onto the laptop and printed it out. Phineas helped him frame it and set it on top of their dresser, next to the one that was taken years ago. Those two pictures will remind them forever, of how close their bond really is…
THE END
So did you expect that? Perry saves the day again! :)
So um... I'm planning another fic when these two fight, only it's when they're older and it's more hurtful to them. I actually thought of it before this one, so this was sort of a nice warm up for what's to come. But anyway, I'll stop rambling now.
Thanks for reading! Review?
