| abstract | - It was just an ordinary day in Danville. In the middle of the city, a large group of people had gathered together to see what Phineas and Ferb had done today. Phineas was very excited about his new invention, he could barely hide it."Welcome, ladies and gentlemen," he said. "It is time to reveal...the Weather Controller! As its name states, it controls the weather. Now we can be sure we'll have a sunny day today!"The crowd cheered. Meanwhile, Perry was battling Doofenshmirtz at Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated. He broke Doof's new invention, the Opposite-Inator, then jumped out of the building, activating his parachute."CURSE YOU PERRY THE PLATYPUS!" Doof screamed. Back at where the crowd had gathered, Phineas's smile grew bigger as he pushed a button on the contraption labeled "Sunny". But just then, a laser beam came out of seemingly nowhere and hit the machine. Since the ray had come from the Opposite-Inator, instead of sunny weather, stormclouds gathered, and it began to pour rain heavily.At first, everyone just gave Phineas a blank stare. Then they all started yelling at him."It's your fault!" they shouted, along with many insults.Ferb, who was standing next to Phineas, suddenly transformed his normal blank expression into a piercing glare. He glanced over at Phineas, who looked very upset. Ferb was directing his glare at the crowd, but Phineas thought Ferb was angry at him.Candace and Isabella were in the crowd too."EVERYONE! STOP!" they screamed at the top of their lungs. But they were drowned out by the angry roar of the rest of the crowd. They were swallowed up by the mob, so Phineas never saw that they looked just as upset as he did. He just assumed they were angry too.Ferb looked at Phineas again, and saw that he was trying not to cry. Ferb felt very sad looking at that, and grabbed his arm. He quickly led Phineas away from the angry mob and rushed him home.They walked inside, and Ferb had Phineas sit next to him on the couch."I-I'm sorry Ferb," Phineas said. "I don't know what went wrong.""No need to say sorry," said Ferb.Phineas took this as an angry response, and got even more upset."If you're mad at me, then don't talk to me!" he shouted, dashing upstairs into his room."Wait!" Ferb called. But it was too late.That was stupid of me, Ferb thought. Couldn't I have thought that out more? Phineas's eyes began to fill with tears. I've messed everything up, he thought. Now everyone hates me.He flopped down on his bed, and saw Perry lying there."Oh, there you are Perry," he said, sadly. He tightly hugged his pet. "At least you still like me, right?"Phineas closed his eyes, feeling the warmth and comfort of Perry's soft fur. But he didn't think he could possibly stand having everyone around him angry at him. It was just too painful.I know! he thought, his eyes opening. I'll run away tonight. I'll go far, far away. And no one will even miss me.Though that threatened to bring more tears to his eyes, he didn't think he had any other choice. So, when Candace came home, and it was time to get to bed, Phineas put his pajamas on over his clothes. When Ferb and Candace got into bed, Phineas grabbed his sack and tiptoed downstairs. He packed some supplies in the sack and tiptoed back upstairs. He quietly shoved the bag under his bed and got underneath his covers. He glanced over at Ferb, who was already fast asleep. Perry was curled up next to him, also fast asleep.Phineas grabbed a small piece of paper and wrote a note on it. He didn't think anyone would come looking for him, but he thought his siblings should know why he wasn't there. Then he slipped out of his pajamas and threw them on the bed. He grabbed his bag and headed to the window, tears forming in his eyes again. He opened the window, and it made a noise. He cringed and glanced at his brother, who just groaned and rolled over.Phineas breathed a silent sigh of relief. Carefully, he climbed out of the window. Luckily, there was a ladder right outside, because of another recent project of his and Ferb's. Phineas stood on the ladder, and carefully closed the window. Then he quietly climbed down the ladder and ran off into the night, never daring to look back.
