Part 2
"You sure you want to do this?" Phineas asked. Ferb nodded.
"Yes." He said. "Yes I do."
"You know Ferb; it's not too late to change back." The now British teen walked towards the exit of the backyard. Phineas fallowed, trying to convince his stepbrother this was a bad idea. "I mean dude, being a teenager might be great and all, Candace seems to enjoy it. But you can't grow up all at once, you're a kid. My stepbrother and you should just let life take it's coerce. So what do you say, a kid again, and enjoy it with your stepbrother while you still can?" Ferb looked at his hopeful stepbrother.
"Sorry bro." He answered. "I'm tired of being a kid. I want to be with Vanessa, and if I have to grow up to be her boyfriend, then so be it. Now as you excuse me, I got to go." With that being said, he left.
"Ferb?" Phineas sighed. "Gosh, I guess he really does love this Goth girl so much that he's starting to talk more then he should. I can see the flaws of this, and usually, he sees them before I do." Phineas then herd someone in the bushes. He turned around, it was Isabella.
"Hay Phineas." She said, her eyes seem to twinkle. "Whatha doin'?"
"Oh hi Izzy!" Phineas greeted. Isabella smiled.
"You called me Izzy." She said dreamily, leaning in Phinea's face.
"Uh…yeah I did. Does that mean something?"
"You could say that."
"Well o-kay. You got to help me with Ferb. I'll explain it on the way, come on!" He grabbed Isabella's hand, and the two went after Ferb.
Perry walked on the pier, looking sad. Since Elizabeth loved whales, he was so sure he could find her here, but alas, she wasn't here. He sat on the edge, and looked down at his sad reflection in the water.
Then the platypus heard something. He looked up and stood, when he saw a black haired lady feed fish to a large whale. He walked towards her.
"Open wide Franklin!" She spoke to the whale. The whale opened his mouth and snapped it shut when he had it, and chewed. Elizabeth petted the whale's smooth back.
"You're a good whale Franklin. Way better on that guy I dated, now what was his name? Heinz Doofensmirz? Yeah that was it. Anyway, I knew he wasn't my type. Your whales help me decide that. I will never date that guy again who hardly knew about whales and their feelings. Fortunately, I know your feelings. I'll love you guys forever, no matter what that creep thinks. You guys are all cool all right, blabber and all."
Perry pondered about something, and then he snapped his fingers. He went to get everything he needed.
Vanessa was reading a fashion magazine under the tree in her backyard when she looked up and noticed Ferb. Ferb smiled and moved his eyebrows up and down, affectionately. Vanessa smiled and stood up, putting her magazine beside.
"And who are you?" She wanted to know. "You know, you remind me of a little boy I know."
"Is that boy's name happens to be Ferb?" he asked. Vanessa looked surprised.
"Why yes! You know him to I see." Ferb nodded.
"That because I am that boy Ferb." Vanessa giggled. "But I am!"
"Oh you're joshing me! Ferb is just a little British kid. You're like 16, much older then him."
"I-I'm telling you, I'm Ferb! I made a machine that made me older. Now we can be together forever and ever!"
"No you're not! Besides, Ferb's not much of a talker."
"That's because I didn't really need to. You changed everything, with you; I can talk all the time nonstop." The Goth teen laughed. Ferb grabbed her hand.
"Come on." He told her. "Let's go do stuff together. Say a romantic movie, or the ice skating rink? I could show you how to skate if…"
"No need. I have been skating since I was little." Then hand in hand, the two went off.
"You?!" Doof said when they met on the pier. "You're my secret admirer?!"
"You're my secret admirer?" Elizabeth asked. She crossed her arms. "So now, how do you feel about whales?"
"Wait." Dr. D said. "I didn't send you anything."
"Me neither." Elizabeth admitted. "How odd. I wonder who set us up."
"Your guess is good as mine." Hiding beside the fish shop, Perry smiled.
"So, you want to go to a restaurant?" Dr. D wanted to know. "I know a killer eatery." Elizabeth smiled.
"Sure!" Hand in hand, the two walked to the restaurant.
The platypus walked to the resturant, feeling proud of himself. So far, so good!
"So what restaurant is this called?" Elizabeth asked as they sat down at their table. Perry watched from the window.
"Red Crab!" Dr. D answered. Elizabeth looked confused.
"But isn't that a seafood eatery?"
"Yes and a fine one at that. Let me tell you this is the finest restaurant on the pier." Elizabeth took a shrimp from the table, and smacked him with it. Dr. D rubbed the spot where it hit.
"Oh your selfish jerk!" She snapped. "Don't you realize what you've done?! I got a thing for the ocean; you got no respect for sea life whatsoever!" With that, she threw the shrimp back down, and huffed out. Dr. D sighed.
"You got that right." He said to himself. "Espcailly a certain semi aquatic mammal that makes my life miserable everyday. Oh, I don't feel hungry all of a sudden." The doctor looked sadly down at the table.
Outside, Perry frowned. He was hoping this would work out. On to girlfriend B! He went to get the 2nd girlfriend.
"So guys," Phineas said to his friends in the backyard. "What are we going to do about Ferb? He can't hang with that teenager forever you know."
"Well technically he can." Baljeet pointed out. "I mean, you can't let him not see her. Unlike my home country, India, this is a free country. If your stepbrother's in love, there's no stopping him, no matter what the age difference may be between the two."
"And you know what I love?!" Buford threatened with a clenched fist in the air.
"No!" Baljeet stopped him, he then laughed nervously. "I mean, I can guess."
"I'm really worried about him guys." Phineas told them. He looked sad at the ground. Isabella came beside him and comforted him.
"Awe!" She said soothingly. "Phineas, you got to believe in love."
"I do." He admitted. "But how can I fully understand it? I don't have a crush on anyone."
"I do."
"You do? Who?" Isabella just looked at him strangely, and then said dreamily, swaying back and forth.
"I'm not telling!" Phineas looked at her, puzzled.
Ferb then came in with Vanessa. They were laughing. Phineas forgot his sadness, and rushed to him.
"Ferb!" He told him. "I know what we should do today! Maybe a gunny sack race blindfolded while on skates, extreme snowball fighting on snowboards, or we could start our own hot coca franchise." Ferb shook his head.
"Sorry bro." He said. "I got plans with Vanessa."
"But Ferb…"
"Look, another time okay?" Phineas watched sadly as Ferb and his girlfriend exited the yard.
"But…" Phineas then put his head down, looking defeated. "Ferb." He sniffed back tears. Isabella comforted him.
"Whoa!" Baljeet observed. "Ferb's in love all right; he found his voice!"
"Yeah." Buford agreed. "Creepy!" He shuttered. "Remind me not to full in love."
"I won't!" Baljeet said. "If you do, then I'll have two big kids bully me. I won't like that."
"You're lucky I'm single small- fry."
"Yeah, I'm a lucky Indian boy."
For the couple days, Ferb has been spending time with Vanessa more, and hardly any time with Phineas. Phineas felt rejected each time and didn't feel like doing anything.
"Why won't you do something?" Isabella asked Phineas one day. Phineas sat up against the tree. He was sad.
"Phineas?" Isabella wanted to know. "Where's your creative mind?" Phineas sighed.
"It's on vacation."
"It is, why?" Phineas looked at them with a frown and than back again.
"I don't feel like being creative, it's not the same without Ferb. Without him, it's… dead." His friends gasped. Isabella came to once again, comfort him.
Perry has secretly invited Margret over to Dr. D's apartment. The platypus knocked on the doctor's door. Dr. D answered and looked surprised.
"Perry the Platypus?" he questioned. "What are you doing here? I'm still depressed so go home." He was about to close the door when Perry bounded in, and hid behind the couch. Dr. D looked confused.
"You know Perry the Platypus; it's very rude to just barge right in my apartment mysterously. Now I suggest you leave, and…" There was knocking at the door. Dr. D walked to it.
"Now who suppose…" He answered it.
"Margret?" Margret looked at Dr. D.
"Oh hello Strudelcutie 4427." Margret greeted.
"What are you doing here?" The doctor wanted to know.
"You invited me, remember?"
"I did?" She nodded.
"Yep you did." Then she looked sad. "So sorry about your loss." Dr. D looked puzzled.
"My loss?!" She nodded, and then began to cry.
"That poor cute platypus!" Dr. D looked at her, crying, and then at Perry behind the couch. The platypus gestured him to be quiet, and then he pretended that a gun shot him. He fell down, not moving a muscle. Not even when a flea landed on his eyes, crawled over them, and flew off. The doctor looked back at the crying lady.
"Ah, yeah. Very sad! It was very hard to cope with." He put a comforting arm around her shoulder.
"But you know, Platypi are like people. They live, and then they die. 15 years and then they leave you forever, and go to platypus heaven. It's a fact of life." Then he changed the subject. "Hay, I know! How about we get fruit smoothies to cheer us up?" She cried some more.
"Did you have a little funeral for him?"
"Uh, yes? Yes I did! But forget it, fruit smoothie time ba…" She stopped crying, hands back to her side.
"Not without me you didn't! Now let's go and find where's he buried and I can say a few words to him."
"But, but, you hardly knew him. You just met him and, and you weren't suppose to see him anyway. You came for me, not him! That date was suppose to be about me and you! You just stayed in my apartment and held him, and said how cute he was like he was a baby, or a cute puppy or kitten You didn't care about me. Now if you let me, I say…" Margret put her hands and her hips.
"Oh come on Strudelcutie 4427, it's just a funeral. What's the big deal?"
"Big deal?! Margret, he's just a platypus. You got to let the past go, I mean, really."
"Strudel, I loved him too…"
"Yeah, for like a couple hours. This is silly, having a funeral for a pet. I mean, why? It's silly, it doesn't make sense whatsoever." Margret gasped.
"We have funerals for them because we love them! Honestly Strudel, don't you have any respect for him at all?"
"Of course I did. It's just that…" She walked to the couch and screamed. Dr. D came beside her.
"Is this how you treat your pet?!" She demanded, pointing at the platypus playing dead.
"How long has he been here?!" Dr. D pretended. Margret was mad.
"Strudel!" She scolded. "You don't just leave a decaying, dead animal body on the floor like this for your guests to see. It's just isn't right. No wonder why you don't have successful dates." She picked Perry up.
"Now as you excuse me, I'm going to properly bury him!" She went for the door. Dr. D stopped her.
"Margret it's not what you think, he's not really…"
"You think I'm an idiot?! That I wouldn't understand?! If this how you treat your pets, we're through Strudelcutie 4427. You hear me?! Through!" With that, she slammed the door. Dr. D opened and shouted behind her.
"And it's Heinz, not Strudelcutie 4427. You hear me?! Heinz!" He shut the door back shut and muttered to himself. He then sighed, and went to his bed.
Perry, without Margret knowing, managed to jump out of her arms to escape. He looked back, Margret went down the elevator. He then sighed and with relief. At least he didn't give him kissy marks this time! He went to go get Miranda.
Isabella saw Phineas laying on his hammock looking depressed. She felt sad too, she hated to see Phineas in this state. She then had an idea. She looked behind her at her troop. They had the wagons filled with cupcakes in them.
"Girls," She told them. "Forget the cupcake selling for today. I know what we're doing today!" The girls groaned.
Isabella glanced back at Phineas to make sure he didn't hear her say his famous line. He didn't. Thank goodness! Isabella sighed in relief. Phineas didn't care if anyone used his lines the same way she did if somebody uses her's. That or he was too depressed to notice.
She didn't think about it anymore, she and the girls went to the boys' garage to where Ferb's machine was.
"Okay," Isabella said once they were all in the garage by the machine. "Girls, Phineas is sad and I can't take it anymore."
"Because you have a crush on him!" Holly blurted out. "And you would do anything to win his heart back." Isabella looked at her.
"Yes Holly. Yes I do."
"You kind of used one of his other lines!" Milly added.
"I miss him Milly okay?! Button pressing time, on!" She pressed the button.
"Look out!" She shouted. She and the girls took cover as the machine fired up. It turned its laser straight, and then fired away.
Ferb and Vanessa were at the park. They were about to kiss when the laser hit Ferb. The British teen then turned back into his normal self. Vanessa gasped.
"Do you take me as an idiot?!" She cried. "You're way too young to be dating me!" She slapped him. "Creep!" She huffed off. "I'm going back to Johnny, someone who's my age!" With that the Goth teen stormed away.
Ferb looked at her, sad. Tears welled up in his eyes. Then he looked mad.
"Phineas!" He snapped. The boy huffed off to his and his stepbrother's backyard.
"It worked!" Isabella cheered. She and the girls went out of the garage, and back to the yard. All of them halted, and gasped at what they saw.
