Chapter 23: Trust Issues?

(Hi everyone. So here's Chapter 23 of the story that I've taken to calling Maybe Not. I'm actually working on another story right now, you can find it in the holiday specials list. I need some help with it, so please read, and comment if at all possible! Thanks.) Phineas and Ferb does not belong to me.


Ferb jolts slightly. “Perry, what on earth is that pen?” Perry turns to him, smiling a bit.

“This is one of Candace’s inventions.” He tosses it gently to Ferb. “It’s a memory restorer. She’s been working on it in preparation for this very moment.”

Phineas stands up. “Perry. We’ve been working here since we graduated high-school! There was no reason not to tell us.”

Perry tries to stay calm and relaxed, but the translator is making it very hard for him to stay upright. Candace kneels down next to him. “Meat-Brick, take that thing out of your mouth.” She whispers gently. Perry opens his bill, and pulls out the translator. He switches it off and places it back into his fedora.

Phineas is still angry, but Ferb is watching. He recalls how platypi sense electric fields with their bills to be able to “see” underwater. Having the technology in the roof of his mouth, so close to the sensitive bill must really be disorienting for him. “Perry, are you okay?”

Candace looks down at her partner in fighting evil. “He’s okay. But what about Phineas?”

“Why didn’t he tell us? Why didn’t you tell us?” Phineas glares at his older sister. “Why didn’t you trust us?”
The girl bristles. “Trust? It has nothing to do with ‘trust’, Phineas! We were scared. We didn’t want you to be angry! And…” Candace trails off, looking down at Perry, who has walked up in front of her. “Ferb, come with me.” Candace leads Ferb out through the elevator that goes to her bedroom.
