Phineas & Ferb's Excellent Adventure
The city of Danville was used to crazy things happening; it seemed to be a regular occurrence that the people just accepted. And soon, something incredibly crazy was going to happen, something that even they couldn't ignore.
The day started out like any other; warm, sunny and completely normal. It would not be for long, for at that moment, a white and red striped car was driving into town, carrying a group of people that would have an incredible experience.
"Ah Danville, we made it at last" Agent K said from the driver's seat of C.A.R.T.E.R, her personal spy car. The woman was taking her family and some of their friends on a trip to the city for an important event.
"What's so great about this place?" Todd asked "it doesn't look any different than Pleasant Hills."
"Not true Todd" Dick said from the front seat "everything is much brighter and better defined here. If this were a cartoon, I'd say we crossed over into another, better made series."
"Whatever" Todd grumbled "I just can't believe we had to drive all the way out here just so Riley could receive some snooty award."
"Excuse me, it's not just any award" Riley countered "it's the Excellence Award, and it's only given out to those who display remarkable achievement in their schoolwork. It wouldn't hurt you to care more about your schoolwork, you know. It could be the difference between you being a doctor or flipping burgers for a living."
"First off Riley, flipping burgers would be awesome" Todd replied "and secondly, I don't need to worry about that, because I'm planning on becoming a world class skateboarding champion. They don't need to learn boring stuff like math."
"Uh, yeah they do"
"Sure Riley, when a skateboarder is executing a kickflip ollie, he's really worrying about the square root of pi or whatever" Todd commented "all he cares about is that it looks cool."
"Why do I bother even talking to you?" Riley asked, exasperated.
"So Shelton, you enjoying the trip?" Todd asked his nerdy pal, who was sitting right next to him and Jacobo.
"Oh yes. Usually, I get sick on long car trips, but I haven't had the urge to vomit since we left."
"Not to worry" C.A.R's voice rang out "one of the advantages of being a high-tech spy car is that you're self-cleaning. And anyway, it's easier for me to get vomit off my seats than blood."
"Thanks for coming with us Tasumi" Riley addressed her friend "I could use the support."
"Oh no problem" the Japanese girl replied "you guys always have such fun adventures."
"We're not that exciting" Riley said "I mean, it's not like something weird or adventurous happens to us every day. Well, okay it does, but not because we want it to. And anyway, this is going to just be a simple awards ceremony."
"I don't know Riley, I'm pretty sure something is going to happen."
"Nothing is going to happen Tasumi" Riley replied "like I said, wacky misadventures don't follow us everywhere we go."
"Nice work Riley, you jinxed us" Todd said "you never say something isn't going to happen, because then it does happen. If TV has taught us anything, it's that; oh, and that getting hit in the groin is funny."
"Jinxes aren't real Todd" Riley said "and you'll learn that when we finally get to the hotel."
"That reminds me dear; you did remember to book the hotel, didn't you?" Agent K asked Dick.
"Yup I sure did" Dick replied proudly "I brought it with me too" he added, pulling out a copy of Hotels for Dummies.
"No dear, I meant did you call the hotel in advance and reserve us a room?" Agent K enquired.
"Oh I thought you wanted me to read a book about hotels" Dick replied "and I did. There are a lot of interesting facts in here. Did you know that a motel is different from a hotel?"
"So that means we currently have no place to reside here?" Agent K asked.
"Umm… I guess not" Dick said "ooh, look at this hotel. It has a fountain!"
"Dick Daring failed to do something that he was asked to do, stop the presses" C.A.R replied sarcastically.
"Oh this is just great" Todd said "now we're stuck in another city with no place to stay and no TV, and we'll probably have to sleep on the street with bums."
"Not to worry kids" Agent K replied "C.A.R, show me all the remaining hotels in the area, one of them must have a vacancy."
"Yes K" C.A.R replied, displaying a list of local hotels on his screen.
"Let's see, two of them are all booked up, one is now a golf course…ah here we are, this one has a vacancy" Agent K said "oh no, wait, that says 'vagrancy' whatever that means. Terribly sorry."
"Now what do we do?" Riley asked "I don't want to sleep in C.A.R."
"I'm not exactly thrilled about that prospect either" C.A.R replied.
"Let's not jump to any conclusions" Agent K said "after all, I'm a very successful spy with a vast network of confidants and connections. One of them must be active in this town and will offer us safe haven."
"Sorry K, can't detect any."
"Really? Not one?"
"Nope."
"Hmm, well, I'm stumped" Agent K said.
"Hold on, there is someone who's registered in the databanks, but they're not a spy" C.A.R explained. He displayed a picture of a middle-aged woman with orange hair on his screen.
"Linda Fletcher, 'nee Flynn" Agent K read the profile "hmm, it does look like her, although much older of course."
"Look like who? What are you talking about?" Todd asked.
"An old friend of mine" Agent K replied "it's a longshot, but it might just work; C.A.R, take us there."
"Yes K" he replied, driving off towards the destination. The Darings didn't realize it yet, but they were about to take the first step towards a thrilling adventure and meet some new friends they would (probably) never forget.
In the next chapter, you'll find out what mysterious connection K & Linda have. Plus, Candace's attempt to bust her brothers' newest project hits a snag due to the mysterious arrivals.
