This takes place before "Phineas and Ferb: Hawaiian Vacation"
It was certainly hot outside, but the Flynn-Fletchers all knew that the place they were headed for would be much hotter. All of them agreed on this, which was rare, seeing as Candace had a habit of having the opinion opposite that of her brothers. They all were looking forward to palm trees, clear water, and the serene relaxation that comes with a trip to Hawaii.
A cool breeze blew past their café table, refreshing each member of the family. Okay - almost everyone; in the case of Candace, the wind blew through her hair, sending chills down her spine and causing her to briefly shiver.
"Wow, Candace! That was a great imitation of Perry!" Phineas beamed, "But next time, try it with your eyes crossed."
"Ugh," Candace groaned. Jeremy, who was sitting next to her, put his arm around her shoulder. Her sourpuss immediately turned into a shy grin. "I just can't believe I won't be able to see you for a whole five days! Promise you'll call me?"
"Candace, you realize that if I call you in Hawaii, you might get a call at, like, 3 A.M. there."
"Oh, right," Candace said sadly. "The iguana and the oboe."
"Calm down, Candace," Lawrence said to his daughter, "I'm sure we'll have a splendid time in Hawaii. I've been practicing mi Espanol for the trip, so I can show you some things. It was meant to be, too."
"Dad-"
"Don't worry, Candace. You'll be back here before you know it." Candace smiled dreamily at her crush.
"You're right, Jeremy," she said. She looked down at her plate, where a half-eaten grilled cheese sandwich (which Jeremy named the "Candace Special") lied. She was about to pick it up when a large bird flew over to the table, startling her.
The huge black crow squawked at the family, being more daring than most crows around the area.
"Cool!" Phineas said, without thinking. He jumped from his chair and ran towards the bird, who started running away.
"Darn," Jeremy muttered, "There birds are always giving my uncle problems around here."
The scene changes to show Jeremy's uncle, the owner of the restaurant, engaged in a sword fight with one of the birds.
"Anyway, it's probably best that someone drives them away."
Phineas wasn't giving up the chase. He ran and jumped and grabbed at the bird. "Help me corner him, Ferb!" He called, seconds before the crow flew away. "Aw, rats," said the redhead defeatedly, "Never mind."
"What were you going to do with the poor thing?" Linda asked, concerned of her son's safety.
"Keep it as a pet. I was thinking we could-"
Candace interrupted. "What would you even name a crow?"
"Eugene, of course!" Phineas said, "He looked like a Eugene."
"Right. Just like Perry looked like a Bartholomew, until you got him home."
"Anyway, I was thinking we could take Eugene to Hawaii with us and send him back to you with, like, a secret message or something!"
"Oh, yeah? And what would that be?" Candace rolled her eyes and drank more of her punch.
For the first time, Ferb looked up from his sub. "Blackbird pie," he explained, "Love, Phineas."
Everyone at the table, including Candace, burst into laughter. Unfortunately for the teen, Ferb's one-liner had been delivered at the worst possible time: in between sips of punch. Her laughter had caused the juice to spray all over her soy cheese sandwich.
"Ferb!" Candace exclaimed between laughs, "Why'd you do that?"
The green-haired boy was too busy working on his sub to answer.
