Chapter 2: Starting Up the Daily Routine

Phineas jumped out of bed, elated. He turned off the alarm clock which proved to be completely useless all summer, as he always somehow beat it by one minute every day. "So, Ferb, looks like today is finally upon us. A new day, and it is a glorious one, too. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and there are no clouds in sight. Today truly looks absolutely perfect. Now, what do you say we get to work?" Ferb opened his eyes, rubbed them, and nodded his head. They had five possible inventions for the day: a pancake exploder, a frog magnet, a set of teleporter rings, a mind-reading machine, and an "anti-apocalypse machine". After a while of thinking, it was down to the rings and the magnet. Then, Phineas disregarded how awesome it would be to make a device that would attract frogs, and decided on the teleporter rings. "With these, we'll be able to press a button and trade locations with whoever is wearing the other ring!" Phineas proclaimed.

Just then, Isabella walked through the Flynns' gate, into the backyard. She greeted Phineas with her usual "Whatcha doin'?" but she was not sure if that was what she wanted to do. She just needed to find the right moment to tell him. But for now, she needed to do what she normally would do: help Phineas with his daily project. "We're making teleporter rings! We're making them in pairs, and they will be able to teleport to their corresponding ring. However, they have to be kept dry…" Phineas explained to Isabella his idea while she half-listened, anxious to tell him what she wanted to tell him. However, all she could come up with was another not-so-vague hint.

"Hey, Phineas, when you're done, can I wear the ring that goes with yours? I'd love to wear a ring that'd pair me with YOU…" Phineas, once again extremely oblivious, replied with a simple and extremely casual "Sure, Isabella. I assume you'd want yours to be pink?" Isabella stared at him with an annoyed look on her face, saying "Yes…pink…that's…peachy. That's just peachy."

Phineas finished the rings about five minutes later, and gave Isabella her pink ring while his was red. Isabella imagined what this exact scene would be like if it was him giving her an engagement ring, nearly being completely captivated by her fantasy world. That is, until Phineas snapped her back into reality. "Well, all you have to do is press this little black button on the bottom of the ring, and PRESTO! You'll have traded places with me!" And, sure enough, she could see that she was where Phineas was standing and vice-versa. As they were astounded at the success of this invention, Phineas suddenly noticed the one thing he does every day. "Wait a minute, where's Perry?"

Perry, as usual, was heading to his usual escape route to his job. His watch had signaled that there was an urgent need for him for the day, so he rushed to the grass where he pulled a red blade out. The red blade, once pulled out, revealed a small transporting tube below, with a door fit specifically for Perry. He jumped in, and it led him straight into his headquarters. Alarms were sounding off everywhere and Monogram and Carl appeared on the screen.

"Agent P, the tri-state area is in deep trouble today. Doofenshmirtz has cleared his entire building, and all that's left is him and a massive source of energy. We need you to take not only the machine out, but also Doofenshmirtz. He is starting to become a major threat, and today, the world rests on your shoulders. Please, Agent P, you've got to save us. The fate of the Agency, the tri-state area, and the entire world depends on your performance today. Before you go, take this glass ball. It will help you when you truly need it during this adventure. Goodbye, and good luck, Agent P. Monogram out." Perry sprung into action. He took his jet-car and began the flight to Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated for what may be the most important fight of his life.

As Phineas and Ferb were working, Candace secretively looked out of her window with a set of binoculars and her video camera. "Teleporter rings? Time to put this plan into action!" She laughed maniacally as she grabbed her phone. She texted Stacy, who was told to be at the movie theater Linda was at with Vivian Garcia-Shapiro, with "stace: teleporter rings. get my mom, and get out. tell her that i tried to cook and now there's a fire in the kitchen." Stacy did as was told, and surely enough, Linda and Vivian both rushed to the Flynn house. However, she was stuck in traffic, so she called Candace, telling her to keep the fire under control while she hurried back by foot. Candace prayed silently that whatever could happen would not and that her mother would make it in time to see what's going on.
