''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2957491/1/The_Life_and_Times_of_the_Fantasmic_4 The Life and Times of the Fantasmic Four]]'' is a 9-chapter ''TheMagicSchoolBus'' FanFic by Creator/TheUltimateSora. Phoebe, Wanda, Keesha and D.A., aka, 'The Fantasmic Four' keep a scrapbook chronicling their time in high school. As they enter their last year, however, keeping it up to date is only a tiny (albeit increasingly difficult) part of their lives. Relationships are tested, copious amounts of alcohol are consumed, lots of sex is had by all, UsefulNotes/SATs are taken and HilarityEnsues. However, [[MoodWhiplash said hilarity is mixed with incredible amounts of angst]].

* SymbolicallyBrokenObject: Just before she leaves Texas for university in North Carolina, Phoebe breaks the head off a toy dinosaur that her ex-boyfriend Arnold had given her in a Noodle Incident years before (later depicted in The Best Chrismukkah Ever) because she's upset that their relationship is over and that she ended it despite the fact that they both still loved each other.

* OnlySaneMan: At one point, Phoebe (still holding the IdiotBall) becomes upset when Arnold [[spoiler: sends Ralphie and Carlos to return a photograph of Arnold and Phoebe in fourth grade that he slept with under his pillow during their relationship]]. It seems that he means this as a sign that he has accepted her insistence that they get over each other (although he tells her he will love her forever), but it breaks her heart again and she seeks comfort from D.A. The latter sees Arnold's actions as shabby, manipulative and cowardly, and such treatment of Phoebe pushes her BerserkButton. Her first reaction is to yell at Carlos about it, and then announces she's going to talk to Arnold, telling her boyfriend to wait where he is for her. She goes completely mad at Arnold, leaving Keesha (who can see both sides of the argument) as the OnlySaneMan (Wanda is exempt because, as she would cheerfully admit, she was born holding the IdiotBall).
