It is the 104th day of summer. The sun is shining, and the birds are chirping. Two brothers; Phineas, wearing his usual attire- an orange striped shirt with blue cargo shorts- and Ferb- wearing his beige shirt with high-waist purple pants- were lying against the base of their tree in their backyard with their arms folded behind their backs.
They enjoy the early day in the shade under the tree. Phineas closed his eyes and let out a sigh. "You know Ferb, we had a spectacular summer and it's a darn shame that it is coming to and end." Memories started speeding through his mind. He remember all the adventures they had- the best ones, the wacky ones, the adventurous ones, and all the fun that they had. He recalled their greatest activity that started it all- the day when they built the rollercoaster. He did not have any regret. He closed his eyes.
He suddenly opened them and stood up and opened his arms. "Hey Ferb!" He shouted with great enthusiasm. "It may be the end of summer, but it doesn't mean it has to be the end of our adventure!" He grinned. "Let's end today with a bang! I know what we're gonna do today!"
Ferb stood up and looked at his brother and then smiled. "Hey, where's Perry?" Phineas asked while shaking his head, trying to see if their pet platypus was in the vicinity.
Candace was in her room, walking back and forth, worried about missing the time of her life. She was talking on the phone to her best friend, Stacy. "But Stacy, what should I do?" She cried. "I've done practically nothing all summer and half of my life is wasted."
"Candace, don't you think you're overreacting?" Stacy replied. "We're still young and there's still a long way to go, so we should grab that opportunity to do whatever we want to do. The only person that is preventing you from having the best summer is yourself."
At this moment, Candace hears jackhammers and clanging outside. She gets annoyed because she couldn't hear Stacy's last message and shouts, "Stacy, I'll call you back" and Candace glances at the window with a questionable look on her face. "- the boys are up to no good." She snaps her phone shut and runs to the window to see what her brothers have built.
She looks outside, and looks at the object that they had built. She had her phone out, ready to video and photograph it, but to her it wasn't bustabe because it was a box. She looked at it puzzled, she was expecting so much more. "You built this?" She asked.
"Yeah!" Phineas exclaimed. He stepped aside some distance, and reached in his pocket and pulled out a remote. Then he pressed the big button on it and all of sudden, the ground started to shake. The box slowly began to unwrap and started increasing in size. Candace stood there by her window. As the object grew in size, she placed her hands on the base of the window and leaned outside. She looked up in awe with her jaw starting to open, and she pressed a button on her phone to capture a video of what her brothers made.
"Well Candace," Phineas asked while grinning, presenting their last invention of the summer. "What do you think?"
She stood there in shock, and momentarily shook her head, snapping her out of her trance. She immediately pressed a button on her phone to end the video recording and snapped a few pictures. "You guys are so busted!" She exclaimed while turning around. "I Have enough proof now." She flailed her arms and ran out of the room. "Mom, Mooom!"
She skid around the hallway and ran down the stairs. As she was running down, she stepped on a toy and she slipped. She tried to grab the rail to prevent her from falling, but she failed. When she reached the bottom of the stairs, she banged her head against the wall.
"Ouch!" She exclaimed in pain, as she curled up and covered her head. The immense pain was too much for her for a second, but then she remembered the mission she gave herself. She then got up and ran to the kitchen. "Mom, take a look at this! At last I have solid proof!" She said in triumph as she displayed her phone.
Linda let down her newspaper and sighed. She took a look at her phone and calmly said, "Alright, Candace. What am I supposed to look at?"
Immediately, Candace looked at her phone. She let out a scream when she realized what she was looking at- a cracked screen.
"I'm not getting you another phone." Linda picked up her purse and walked to the front door. "I'll be back soon. I have to pick up some stuff."
Candace stared at her phone in disbelief. "I can never bust my brothers. It's an impossible feat." She walked into the living room and sat on the couch and stared at the TV. She spotted a case below the TV and then she snapped back to reality. She walked up to it, grabbed it and immediately headed out.
She reached a tall skyscraper and she got off her bike, rested it against the parking meter, pulled out various of bike locks, and locked her bike around the meter. She ran inside the building and got into the elevator then she pressed the top floor button. When the elevator door opened, she got out and walked along the hallway looking left and right for a certain apartment and eventually she found it. She walked up to the door and knocked on it. It wasn't long enough until the door opened and on the other side was her new friend, Vanessa Doofenshmirtz. Vanessa invites her in and she enters the apartment and follows her.
"Wow, what are those things?" She asked, glancing side to side as she followed Vanessa to her room.
"Those are my dad's inventions. They never work out they way they're supposed to." She reaches her room and signals Candace to wait here and she goes into the room.
Candace stood there, whistling, twiddling her thumbs, but she got bored rather quickly. She walked up to one of the inventions and picked it up. It looked like a nerf gun toy. "Do-Over Inator" She read a card that was in front of the gun, out in her thoughts. "What a terrible name" She chuckled. But still, it captured her attention. She picked up the portable gun and turned it over to the side and read the inscription.
"Don't like your day? Point the end of the gun to your point of interest and redo their day."
Reading this, she grinned, had a menacing look and whispered, "Got you now!" She cackled. She ran out of the apartment, went down, got outside and ran to her bike and to her dismay she didn't find anything. "Oh, come on!" She shouted.
Candace ran all the way home, and stopped near the fence. She peered over and sure enough she saw the boys, working on a workbench, with their invention by their side. "Oh boy!" Phineas exclaimed as he rubbed his hands. He turned around, facing Ferb. "Everyone in the neighborhood will definitely love this.
At this moment, Candace pointed the toy gun at Phineas and Ferb and squeezed the trigger. When it hit them, they started working backwards. "I know what we're gonna do today!" Phineas exclaimed.
Candace was filled with glee. She whipped out her phone and pressed the numbers and held the phone by her ear, but no signal. She looked at her phone, and then realized something.
"Oh, right. It's broken." She sighed. She peeked around the fence and found out that they were finished constructing their invention. "Wow, that was fast." She said in amazement. She looked at the device she was holding, rubbed it, and let out a menacing grin. "But as long as I have this, it won't matter!" She let out a crazed giggle. She pointed it at them and zapped them again and then she ran to get Mom.
She ran all around down, in all the stores but she couldn't find her. She was definitely feeling irritated, so she quickly ran home and zapped Phineas and Ferb again, then she went to Stacy's. She approached the door and immediately knocked on it. After awhile, Stacy opened the door.
"Oh, hey Candace!" The teen greeted. "What's up? Did you listen to my advice?"
"Can't talk right now," she panted. She took a moment to catch her breath. "Can I borrow your phone for a few hours?"
Hearing this, Stacy looked skeptical but eventually handed Candace her phone. She knew that Candace wouldn't let this go, but as soon as Candace grabbed the phone, she spoke. "What happened to your phone?"
"It broke." She said nervously. She didn't want Stacy to find out that she broke her own phone, so she added, "Phineas and Ferb invented something and it messed with my phone." Ok, this wasn't completely true, but at the same time wasn't a total lie she convinced herself.
Stacy wasn't totally convinced, but she eventually let go, letting Candace have her phone for the time being. "Thanks Stacy!" Candace said as she ran away. "I want my phone when you're done with it, ok?" Stacy shouted.
Candace ran home, peeked over the fence and zapped both boys. She immediately whipped open the phone and dialed her mother's number.
"Mom, where are you?" She asked frantically.
"I'm across the street socializing with the girls." Linda replied.
Candace face palmed. She had managed to look all over Danville shops for her mom, but she didn't bother to check the most obvious place… well, the next most obvious place- across the street. She immediately ran across the street, into the Shapiro's residence.
"I know what we're gonna do to…" Phineas exclaimed, as he looked at himself. He put a puzzled look across his face and put his hands in front of him. They were… fading? No, this wasn't right. He thought out. He immediately turned to Ferb with a worried look because he knew that both of them did not do whatever what was happening to them.
"Hey Ferb," He said nervously and licked his lips. "Is it me, or does it look like we're fading?"
At that moment, Ferb extended his hands and had a shocked expression on his face. He didn't see much color.
"Ferb," Phineas chuckled. It was obvious to him that he was panicking. "This got to be a dream." At this moment, Ferb looked down at the ground and shook his head. Phineas stared at him in disbelief, and then looked at his hands again.
"Alright, how long do we got?" He said defeated, looking down at the ground. Ferb looked at his hands then back at Phineas. He whipped out a calculator from his pocket and started pressing buttons and after seeing the numbers, he displayed a shocked expression. He looked back up at Phineas. "By the look of it, not much longer."
Candace pulled her mother into her driveway. Behind them were Isabella and her mother, as Candace's sudden outburst sparked their interest. All of sudden, Linda jerked her arm, "Candace, I'm too old for this. You've got to stop with this obsession of yours." She sighed. She was exhausted of Candace's silly outbursts the entire summer.
"I will after this last attempt." She giggled as she ran into the backyard. Linda casually walked after her, while chatting with Vivian Shapiro.
Candace opened the fence and ran into the backyard and exclaimed, "At last, you're busted." Immediately, she looked at both of her brothers with a worried face. "What's going on with you guys?"
"We…" Phineas looked up at Candace before finishing his sentence. "don't know." There was a teardrop that dripped down his cheek. This was the first time Candace had ever seen her brothers scared.
Candace started feeling somewhat scared, emotional and was on the verge of crying. "But… You're Phineas and Ferb." She broke out. "You can solve this- you always have solved complicated problems."
"Not this time, Candance." Phineas sniffed. "We did loads of tests, over and over again, and we cannot tell what the problem is."
He and Ferb extended their arms and held her hand and smiled. "Ferb and I don't know what's gonna happen, so…" at this moment, they walked to their sister and hugged her. "You're the best sister ever."
Candace hugged them back and closed her eyes. "I'm not gonna let anything happen to you… I promise." She assured them.
At this moment, her mom walked into the backyard. "Alright Candace, what am I looking at." She said as she scanned the backyard.
"Mom," Candace sniffed. "Phineas and Ferb…"
Linda put her hands on her hips. "Who are Phineas and Ferb?"
Candace wiped her eyes so that it looked like she wasn't crying, and faced her mother. "What?"
"Phineas and Ferb, who are they?" Linda asked again. "Are they your friends?"
Hearing this, Candace stared at her in disbelief. "You're… You're kidding me right?" She said appalled. Immediately, she ran into the house and went up the stairs. Along the way, she noticed the pictures- it was just Candace, her mother, and her stepfather and she couldn't believe her eyes. "Please be there… Please be there." Candace pleaded as she ran up to what was formerly known as her brothers' room.
She flung the door open. "No." She droned out. What she was seeing wasn't her brothers' room, but a dusty storage room. At that moment, she pulled out her portable gun- the Do-Over-Inator and spotted something important that she didn't notice before- the warning label. It was inscribed very small on the device, but sure enough it was there. Candace pulled it in close, so that she could read it. "Warning! Frequent use of this device will cause a disrupt of the space-time continuum."
Reading this, she fell weak in the knees. She fell down on her knees realizing what she had done. She completely erased Phineas and Ferb.
