EPILOGUE- The end. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, and thanks once more to WordNerb93 for giving me this idea. You rock!

Kind of short, but hey, it's an epilogue.

Read on, and I still have no ownership over Phineas and Ferb.


Well….most of their memories, anyway.


GENERAL POV


The sun was setting on Maple Drive, and it was still pretty quiet in the neighborhood, although given what had happened that day, it wasn't too surprising anymore.

The kids had woken up in the backyard just as Linda and Lawrence had pulled into the driveway, lugging a frightening amount of antiques behind them in a borrowed trailer. The kids (including Holly and Isabella) had helped to store everything in the attic or basement and now they were all back outside, sitting in the last drops of sunlight that were sliding into the yard.

Phineas sighed and shook his head. "I can't help but feel that we're forgetting something," he said as he leaned back on his hands.

Isabella frowned. "I know. I know Vanessa helped us, but where is she now?"

(Vanessa was, in fact, back at her father's now ghost free house, and they were both just waking up as well. But unlike her father, she remembered everything that had happened that day.)

Holly smiled and leaned against Ferb slightly, making sure to keep her injured arm away from him. "Even if we don't remember everything, we still had fun, right?"

Candace snorted. "Sure. If you can call being repeatedly attacked by ghosts 'fun.'"

The back gate opened and Buford walked in with Baljeet dangling over his shoulder and hanging down his back. "Hey guys! Where have you been all day?" Buford asked as he set Baljeet down.

Baljeet glanced at the group and frowned. "And Holly, what happened to your arm?"

Holly glanced down and grimaced. Ferb stood. "It's complicated. Would you like me to explain?"

Buford and Baljeet sat down. "Whoa, what happened to the tree?" Buford cried, noting the scorch marks along the side of it. Phineas winced. The first thing he had noticed upon waking up was the tree as well, and it had made him very unhappy.

"Give me a moment," Ferb said, "I'm going to get a bottle of water. It is a long story."

He walked inside and spotted his mother putting away the groceries she had brought in that morning. She looked up and grinned at Ferb.

"It's a good thing none of these were cold, huh?" she said with a smile.

Ferb smiled back and grabbed a bottle of water. "Yes, yes it is."

Linda chuckled and put the crackers on the top shelf….well, she tried to. Linda was just a few inches too short to put the crackers away. Ferb frowned.

"Would you like me to do it?" he asked quietly.

Linda froze and glanced back at Ferb. He was watching her carefully, a slight glimmer of hope in his eyes. She glanced at the box in her hands and then slowly handed it to Ferb. He took it and looked down. He might as well show her the new powers now, and get it out of the way.

He rose up to the cupboard and tossed the crackers in, and then turned and looked down at his mother.

Her eyes were wide and her face was pale. Ferb lowered himself to the ground immediately and sighed. "Never mind, I'll be outside."

Linda winced and watched him head for the door. "Ferb honey, hold on," she said, stepping up behind him. Ferb turned around.

Linda sighed and knelt in front of him. She suddenly frowned and brushed her fingers on his cheek where Ferb assumed there was a mark from Johnny punching him earlier. "Sweetie, what on earth-?"

Ferb glanced up. "There was a ghost…a bunch of ghosts, actually."

Linda sighed and to Ferb's surprise, she wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug. Ferb hesitantly hugged back.

Linda sighed. "Ferb, I'm sorry. You've got understand that this is weird for me, one of my son's being able to see ghosts, and apparently obtaining new powers without my knowledge."

Ferb gave a small smile. "Phineas, Candace, and Dad are Ok with it."

Linda sighed. "I know, I know. You don't mind that I'm a little freaked out, do you?"

Ferb glanced at the floor. "Sometimes I did, but most of the time, no. I don't mind."

Linda smiled and kissed Ferb's forehead. "I'll try not to be too freaked out anymore."

Ferb shrugged and smiled. "You can help me freak Dad out a little, with the flying and invisibility and everything."

Linda raised an eyebrow. "Invisibility?"

Ferb opened his mouth, but Linda shook her head. "Never mind, you can tell me later." She glanced out the window as she stood. "But I think you have some friends that you need to explain something to."

Ferb smiled and ran outside, clutching his water bottle like it was his life line.

Linda smiled and finished putting the groceries away. About ten minutes later, someone tugged on her sleeve and she looked down at Isabella. "What is it, Isabella?"

Isabella frowned and gestured to the backyard. "Well, Baljeet just passed out. Do you have an ice pack?"

Linda snorted and grabbed the first aid kit. "Here you go. Will he be Ok?"

Isabella chuckled. "Yeah, he'll be fine."

Linda watched the girl head outside and she peered out the window as she watched the kids attempt to wake Baljeet up.

She smiled. Everything seemed to be normal in the yard.

Linda chuckled and started making a late dinner.

Or at least, as normal as it ever got.


And the end. I couldn't find a good way to end it. So I figured, resolve the conflict with Linda and bring back Buford and Baljeet.

R and R and stay tuned for the sequel to Platypus Troubles!

And thanks again to all my wonderful reviewers!
