I climbed the tree to get a bird's eye view of the neighborhood. The view from up here really was amazing. Throughout my life I always liked this tree. This tree has always been there and since I discovered how amazing it felt to be the top of the tree I came up here pretty often. It was relaxing despite mom telling me I can't. Amazingly Candace never really tried to 'bust' me for being up here. She only seems to feel her so called 'bust urge' for things she knows mom won't believe. I was looking down when I saw the cutest person I've ever seen walking through our gate she walked up to Ferb who was sitting under the tree.
"Hey Ferb. Where's Phineas?" I saw Ferb walk out from under me and point when I was in view. "Hey Phineas. Whatcha doin?"
"Nothing much just sitting up in my tree."
"That sounds like fun I think I'll join you" Isabella started walking toward the tree trunk.
"No! I mean don't worry about it I was just coming down. Besides its pretty dangerous." Phineas ducked into the leaves as Isabella started rocking back and forth that Phineas cared for her safety. Ferb rolled his eyes and placed a finger on her shoulder to steady her.
"Thanks Fe.." there was a loud snap and a short yell. Phineas knew every square inch of the tree mind you. Any branch that was weaker and he knew might not hold him he wouldn't step on it. Sadly however square inches only cover the outside so Phineas was oblivious to the fact that one branch had become hollow at the hands of termites. Phineas put both feet on this branch as he had many times before but this time, however was to be the branch's last time it would hold him.
Isabella and Ferb didn't have time to react as they heard the snap and yell followed by Phineas emerging from the thick foliage, landing right next to the tree trunk with his head making a thud against one of the roots.
"Phineas are you okay!" Isabella asked right at his side. Phineas's eyes opened at her voice.
"Umm," he looked himself over finding a sore spot on the back of his head "I think so" Ferb and Isabella helped him to his feet. "So what happened to me."
"You my friend took a nasty fall out of our strong oak." Phineas looked at the green haired boy then at the tree followed by a glance at the branch on the ground which he picked up.
"Looks like termites. So this is your tree?" He asked pointing the branch at Ferb. Ferb had a puzzled look on his face he nodded slowly not understanding the question but Phineas gave him no more information. Phineas was still taking in his surroundings when he saw Isabella standing off to the side. He immediately appeared at her side.
"Well thanks for helping me up. I'm Phineas by the way." Isabella stared at him and his outstretched hand in shock. Phineas had a patient look on his face as he asked. "And you are?"
