When Candace looks out her window, she's not surprised to see gray metal taller than the house. She wishes she could say that she was surprised, but sadly that is not the case.
Candace swings her window open, "Phineas and Ferb! I'm so telling mom!"
She's not even sure what she's going to tell her mom. Candace had no idea what this machine did, if it did anything at all. What if it was just another one of those things that sat around and answered questions, what was the harm in a machine that could answer all your questions?
But that isn't the heart of the matter.
No, in fact that seems more like a sidetrack than the actual problem. The thing is Candace is afraid that one day her brothers will build something, so monstrous that it would eat them alive. She's scared that one day, their invention will blow up or disappear or fly into space with them still in it. She wants them to be safe, she's overprotective and slightly neurotic, but unlike her brothers, she understands consequences.
"Kevin," the zebra pops up with a cup of steaming coffee, "when you're done failing at busting your brothers would you mind spending a moment with an old friend? I feel like we haven't seen each other in ages."
"Fine," Candace sighs, she must be crazy.
Most of all, she's afraid that one day, she may only be able to save one. On that day, she fears that her life will come to an end. Because given an ultimatum, given the worst-case-scenario, where she would have to pick one of her brothers, she would choose Phineas. And she fears the consequences of her actions.
