Oh Phinias/Mandy, Won't you be Mine?
Chapter 1: Fortunate news on an unfortunate day
"So, are you going to the Valentine's Day dance on Saturday?" Stacy asked Candace that morning. She, Candace, Phinias, Ferb, Linda and Laurence were all at the table eating their cornflakes with milk. Stacy was at their house that morning because the girls had a slumber party the night before. Perry was eating his platypus food.
"I'm going with Jeremy." Candace told her.
"Get out!" Stacy sounded thrilled. "No way!"
"Yes way! So, I'm going to get prepared for the romantic evening after school."
"You need a lot of time then!"
"I know! I want to look the best for my Jermy-kins!" Then the girls laughed. Candace almost choked on her cornflake! She swallowed it down with her milk until she could breathe again. Stacy stopped laughing.
"Careful Candace!" Linda told her. She was up, putting her spoons and bowl away. "When you eating and laughing at the same time, you might choke."
"Yes mom!" Candace reassured her. Linda went on the computer.
"Hey Candace?" Phinas asked his sister. "Can you pass the milk?"
"Here you are." Stacy said and handed the milk to Phinas. He grabbed it and poured some more in his bowl, making his flakes rise to the top.
"Thanks!" He sat the milk down, and continued eating.
"So are you going to go to the salon to get your nails and hair done?" Stacy asked. Candace put down her milk glass, and looked at her friend. "You bet I am! I'm doing that and buying my clothes at Teenage Girls R Us."
"Superb!" Stacy said, then taking a sip of milk.
"Well time to catch the school bus Stacy!" Candace said, putting her stuff away. "Come on; don't want to be tardy again."
"Coming Candace!" Stacy said, getting up from her chair. "Thank you for letting me stay the night Mrs. Flynn!"
"Anytime!" Linda said.
"Okay bye mom, love you!" Candace put her coat on, kissed her mom, and raced out the door.
"Wait!" Linda shouted, stopping Stacy from joining her friend. "Candace, Candace!" She looked up to find Candace already gone. "Shoot, it's like that girl's favorite band is about to start when she runs of like that."
"So what did you want to tell Candace mom?" Phinias asked.
"Well I was going to tell her that school was closed today, due to the weather."
"You mean a snow day mom?"
"Exactly honey." The boys dropped their silverware on the table in shock.
"Sweet!" Phinas cheered. "A day off of school on a Friday the 13th before Valentine's day! How fortunate to have the day off on an unfortunate day like a Friday the 13th!"
"Very fortunate indeed." Ferb added.
"Well you better go get Candace before she turns into an icicle. Lawrence told them, looking up from his newspaper and sipping his coffee.
"Right!" Phinas said, getting up from his chair. "Come on Stacy, Perry, and Ferb!" Ferb, Stacy, and Perry went to the door.
"Hey, why is Perry coming?" Stacy asked as she and the boys were getting their coats, mittens, and hats on.
"I don't know." Phinas admitted, putting a hat on the platypus's head, and putting feet warmers on the platypus's feet. "He needs the cold air or something."
"But when he goes out with you guys, doesn't he mysteriously disappears and comes back later?"
"Yes." Phinias agreed. "There's no telling what that platypus is up to or even where he is going."
"But don't you worry when he wonders off like that?"
"Maybe a little." He petted the platypus's back. "But luckily he comes back to us at some point, safe and sound after all our cool gizmos are destroyed." Perry chattered.
"Okay!" Stacy just said. "Lets go and get Candace."
"Lets!" Phinias agreed, and then they went out the door.
"Be careful out there boys!" Linda called after them. "It's super chilly out there!" She then went to iron a shirt for her husband.
When they were outside, they all began shouting Candace's name. Then Ferb tapped Phinias on his shoulder.
"What is it Ferb?" Phinias asked, and then they saw that Candace has turned into an icicle while waiting for the bus!
"Good job Ferb!" Phinas congradulated him. "You found Cadence!" They all went to the icicle Candace!" Shivering and "Brrrrrrs" could be heard from inside.
"Don't worry Candace!" Her friend shouted. "We'll get you out!"
"Ferb, I'll need that hammer from dad's tool box." Phinas told him. So, Ferb went into the garage, grabbed Lawrence's hammer from his tool box, and went back. He handed it to Phinias.
"Thank you!" Phinas said to Ferb. He began to hammer the icicle when Stacy spoke up.
"Uh Phinias." She interrupted. "Where's Perry?" Phinas looked around; the green platypus was no where in sight.
"Beats me!" He shrugged, and then continued working.
"You know, you should be more alert when your pet just wonders of like that. Perry could be anywhere by now."
"Naw, he's a platypus, they don't do much."
"That was you always say; where is he?"
"I don't know. Hopefully the readers know."
"What readers?" Again Phinas shrugged, stepped on a step ladder Ferb has given him, and continued trying to get his sister free.
Meanwhile, Perry went to the side of the house. He checked to see that the coast was clear, and then put on his fedora. He was about to go in the secret entrance inside a big slit in the side when he heard a platypus chatter. He was curious; could there actually be more platypuses in Dansville then him? He went to the chattering. He looked across the street. Then his gaze stopped, and jumped back, hearts quickly went in his eyes, and chattered with glee. For he saw across the street, was the most beautiful pink platypus he has ever seen.
