What If... 13

Phineas got dressed and walked downstairs to see Buford and Ferb playing video games, Baljeet reading, The girls talking, and Phin playing with his new hand which was currently a gun.

The redhead rolled his eyes. "You'll never figure out how to work that thing."

Phin looked up and growled. "Then why don't you show me?"

"Fine. We're going to the shooting range. Who else wants to come with?"

"I'll come." Isabella raised her hand. "Izzy? Gretchen?"

"Oh I wouldn't be able to shoot a gun for my life, I'm fine." Gretchen said with a chuckle.

Izzy bit her lip and shrugged. "I don't know..."

"Come on Iz! It'll be fun! I can show you how to shoot." Phin exclaimed happily... a little too happily.

Phineas chuckled at his love struck alternate self and went to gather more pistols.

"Sure. Why not." Izzy replied and stood up.

"Alright!" Phin smirked and morphed his gun back into a hand.

"Lets get a move on." Phineas smiled.

----------------

They walked up to the shooting range and Phineas looked at Phin.

"You have our license right?"

Phin nodded and handed them their own license and walked inside.

They rented a private area so Phin could shoot without anyone staring at his gun.

"I'm not sure how to do this." Izzy commented while looking at the pistol in her hand.

"I'll help." Phin gladly volunteered.

While Phin helped his crush, Phineas and Isabella got ready together.

"Huh. You'd think he would be shooting by now."

Isabella adjusted her safety glasses and loaded her gun. "Well, that what love does to you. You put others before yourself."

Phineas nodded in agreement and cocked his pistol.

He was about to shoot, but then he turned to Isabella with an amused look on his face. "I bet I can hit the bullseye before you."

Isabella smirked slyly. "Your on."

While the to friends had a competition, Phin cocked Izzy's gun for her.

"Now, Get into this position." He said while helping Izzy change her stance and hold on the gun.

Phin reached his arms across and placed his hand on top of her to steady her.

Izzy blushed madly at how close Phin was...

So close she could feel his heart beating fast.

"Ok," He said into her ear. "Now pull the trigger when you're ready."

Izzy nodded slightly and took a deep breath.

She pulled the trigger and was surprised there wasn't much of a kick.

Izzy looked up to see where she shot on the target... she shot right in the middle.

Her eyes widened and Phin smirked.

He put his arms to his side, but Izzy wished he stayed with his arms over her.

"You're a natural." He said with a smirk.

Izzy blushed a little. "Well, you helped."

Phin shrugged. "You will do good on your own now. Its my turn to shoot."

"But don't you need Phineas to tell you how to shoot?"

Phin cringed. "Right."

He angrily walked over to Phineas and Isabella.

"Ha! I won." He heard Isabella say.

"That's only because you were a Fireside Girl." Phineas replied.

"No it is not!" Isabella giggled. "Your just jealous I'm a better shot then you."

"Nuh uh!"

"Yah huh!"

Phin rolled his eyes. "Do you two always act like five year-olds?"

Phineas chuckled.

"So tell me how to shoot this thing. " Phin said while morphing his hand to a gun.

"Oh right. You just need to think of a specific code in your mind."

"Huh?"

Phineas sighed. "I planted a chip specifically in the gun so it will go off every time your recite a code in your mind."

"Ok then, what is the code?"

"Its shoot-one. But lets say you want to shoot more then once, like, five times. Then you think shoot-five."

"So its also an automatic?" Phin asked in surprised.

Phineas smiled proudly. "Yep. You can thank Ferb for that."

"Sweet"

Phin walked over to his own lane and pointed the gun at the target.

Shoot-one. He thought.

With that a bullet exited the chamber and went speeding into the bullseye.

Phin smiled and looked at his gun.

"Awesome."

------------------

Meanwhile at the house...

Gretchen sighed in boredom as Ferb won yet another game of Wii.

Ferb saw and set down his remote. "Lets take a break for now."

Gretchen and nodded and moved to go to he bathroom.

The Brit walked over to the kitchen to search for something small to eat.

He spotted the one grocery bag that still hadn't been emptied since Phineas bought it.

Ferb walked over to it and searched for granola bars or something similar.

While searching he came across a small circular object clinging to a cereal box.

He pulled it off and was face-to-face with a blinking red light coming from it.

Ferb closed his eyes and clenched his teeth.

"Crap." He whispered.

What he found was a tracker.

--------------------

Phineas and everyone else headed home from a fun time at the shooting range.

"I never knew shooting would be so much fun."  Izzy commented with a smile.

"Yah, it's a blast when you actually don't have to use it on someone." Phin replied.

"I couldn't have agreed more." Isabella added.

They arrived home and opened the door.

Everyone gasped at the sight before them.

Chairs were broken and tables were turned. Bullets wholes were visible in the couch cushions and the TV was smashed to pieces.

What scared them the most was the blood smears on the tile floor.

Izzy cupped her hand over her mouth. "Gretchen?" She squeaked.

"I'm going to search the place." Phin said solemnly and morphed his hand into a gun.

"What happened?" Isabella asked mostly to herself.

"Frank." Phineas growled.

He walked over to the one table that was still standing.

Phin walked back in and stood next to the girls. "No one is here."

Izzy chocked back tears. "So, Gretchen is gone?"

Phin just bit his lip and set a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Izzy snapped and shoved Phin's hand off her, to his surprise.

"This is all your fault!" She shot at Phin. "If you hadn't found us Gretchen would still be here!"

"Izzy." Phin said with an unusually calm voice.

He set his hands on her shoulders to steady and stared into her tear filled eyes.

"We'll get Gretchen and the rest back just like we did with Phineas."

Izzy nodded and dug her face into Phin chest and cried.

Phin just hugged her close and rubbed her back.

Phineas turned his attention away from them and to the box that was set neatly on the standing table.

On the lid of the box was a note that said:

I never thought you were stupid Phineas.

Phineas narrowed his eyes and took the lid off to reveal a bomb that was counting down.

It was currently on 7.

"Everyone get out!" Phineas shouted.

He grabbed Isabella's arm and shot out of the house with Phin and Izzy not far behind.

3...

2...

1...

The explosion was so big knocked the four off their feet and made their ears ring loudly.

Phin was the first to sit up and checked to see if Izzy was alright.

"I'm fine. A slight headache, but fine." Izzy said while holding her head.

Phin nodded and helped her up.

Phineas and Isabella stood and looked at the now destroyed house.

"What are we going to tell Gretchen's parents?" Izzy wondered.

"We'll worry about that later. Right now we have some people to save." Phineas said while dusting himself off.

"How?" Isabella asked.

"We have plenty off ammo and guns." Phineas pointed out. "And you saved me before, just do the same thing you did."

"Ya. But the warehouse while be heavily guarded because of the last break in." Phin commented.

"There has to be another way to get in there without raising an alarm."

"Well, there are some vents we can crawl through."

Phineas smiled. "That'll do."
