Ch. 2

"When I find out what those two are up to, they are gonna be so busted!" Candace giggled somewhat maniachally as she reached the bedroom shared by her two brothers. She stopped for a moment when she noticed that the door to their room was oddly closed. 'That's funny.' She thought to herself. 'Why would they keep the door closed…I bet they're trying to keep something from me...What are they up to?' Candace forcefully began banging on the obstacle in her obsessive path. "Hey, dweebs! Open up!" She waited for a few moments…but received no reply. Candace felt herself growing agitated. "If you don't open this door, right now, I'm just gonna barge in and find out what you're up to!" Still, no reply. "That's it, I'm comining in!" She yanked the door open, and was shocked by what she saw.

Candace rubbed her eyes, in disbelief. Phineas and Ferb were both laying covered up in their beds, sound asleep. She pulled out her cellphone and checked the time. 'This doesn't make any sense…it's already 10:30. Usually they'd already be half through with whatever it is they'd be doing, by now…Why are they still asleep?' Quietly, the young teenager slipped back out of the room, making sure the door clicked behind her. "My busting urge is telling me something's not right, here…" Suddenly the phone in the mentally questionable teen's hand started to vibrate. She quickly placed the phone to her ear, not thinking to check the caller ID. "Hello?"

"Candace? Where are you?" The unmistakable voice of Stacy Hirano rang in Candace's ear. The teen's fantasy started to replay in her partially unsound mind.

"Don't talk to me, you…boyfriend THEIF!" she yelled into the speaker.

"What are you talking about?" Candace shook herself back to reality.

"S..sorry, Stacy, it's nothing. Uh, what do you mean?"

"Duh! The concert, remember? We were supposed to meet up at the mall and ride together…You didn't forget, did you?" Candace slapped her forehead with her open hand at her best friend's reply. Once the urge to bust took over her mind, everything else just kinda left…

"Oh yeah…"she sighed. "My parents won't let me go…"

"Are you serious? Why not?"

"They're going out of town, and I'm stuck babysitting 'Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dork'…" She leaned back against the door.

"Aw, that sucks…did you try the puppy face?"

"Yeah…it didn't work…"

"Funny," Stacy mused. "That usually works…"

"Uggh…" Candace groaned as she began making her way back down the stairs. "I'm gonna be bored out of my mind…"

"Well there's always whatever your brothers are up to…that usually keeps you…occupied for a while."

"See that's the thing. It's already past 10 and my brothers are still asleep…There's nothing to bust them for…It's just so weird. I can't figure it out."

"That's good then!" A puzzeled look appeared on Candace's face as she made her way through the kitchen and into the living room.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you see? If your brother's aren't up to something, then you've got a free day!"

"Whatch' you talkin' bout' Hirano?"

"Think about it…you've got the whole house to yourself…and no brothers taking up your time. You can do whatever you want!" Candace gasped at this remark.

"You're right!" The young redhead smiled broadly as she sat down in her favorite chair by the sliding glass doors. "No crazy schemes means I'm free to do whatever…" Candace felt her eyes begin to bug out as that last phrase lingered in her mind. "I'm free…I'm free…"

"Candace?" Stacy replied, a little worried.

"Stacy, I'm free! I'm free!" Candace rose to the floor and threw her arms in the air, triumphantly. "I'm free…I'm FREE…I'M FRE-" Suddenly, a large BOOM shook the entire house, sending Candace plummeting to the floor. She let out a scream.

"Candace…Candace?" Slowly, the teen picked herself up off of the floor. She brought her phone to her ear as an all too familiar urge began to rise up within her.

"Stacy….I'm going to have to call you back…" Candace slammed the phone shut.

A/N: I know it's a short one again, sorry XD College...what can you do :D
