The next day soon came and everyone met up in the Flynn-Fletcher backyard. Atticus smiled nervously as Cherry looked like she was going to kill someone, but she didn't do it of course, but just looked grouchy.
"This better be worth it." The perky goth groaned.
"Will you relax?" Atticus asked. "It's just one morning."
Cherry glared which looked pretty scary when she didn't get enough sleep.
"So Phineas, whatcha doin'... Up so early?" Isabella asked.
"Today is the summer solstice, the longest day of the year!" Phineas announced. "And Ferb, Atticus, and I are gonna make it even longer."
"That's right." Atticus nodded.
"So you built the Statue of Liberty?" Isabella asked.
"No..." Phineas said before looking back to see that the invention looked like The Statue of Liberty underneath the sheet. "Oh, wow. That is weird," he then removed the sheet. "Behold! The Amazing Sun-Beater 3000!"
Of course, everybody was impressed with what they saw.
"It's a name followed by a big number!" Buford announced.
"Really? That's what impressed you?" Cherry asked Buford, unimpressed.
Buford stuck his tongue out at her and soon got scared when Cherry hissed at him.
"It's fast and it runs on vegetable oil, so it's environmentally friendly," Phineas told everyone in the backyard. "In this ship, we will travel around the world as the sun does, making this, the longest day of summer, even longer! That'll give us 24 hours of continuous daylight; and add the extra 15 hours we would've had anyway, that's almost a 40 hour day!
"That's right." Atticus smiled.
"It can't be done!" Buford replied. "There's only 24 hours in a day and that's that!"
"Well, yes and no," Phineas informed. "You see, Buford, if you define the day by the passage of the sun, and we follow the sun by traveling around the-"
"Nah, nah! Don't try to confuse me with your sorceress ways," Buford interrupted. "There's nothin' I've ever seen that would make me believe you could pull this off. Except for that time-machine thing, and oh, and the roller-coaster! But other than that, nothin'! Oh, and the time you played that song when the platypus came back, oh... Man, nature just bends to your will, doesn't it?"
"So you don't think we can do it?" Atticus asked.
"Well, I don't believe and therefore it's impossible," Buford replied. "And what's more, I bet you can't do it!"
"You bet us...?" Phineas asked.
"Yeah, I bet you!" Buford smirked. "And if you lose, you're gonna have to stand up in front of everyone and say that you are governed by the laws of physics and summer's not whatever you want to make of it. And what's more, you've gonna spend the rest of your summer doin' nothin'!"
"And what should happen if you lose?" Atticus asked Buford.
"Hmm... I'll eat a bug." Buford decided.
"Buford, you'd eat a bug right now if we asked." Phineas clarified.
"Are you asking?" Buford then asked.
"No." Phineas said.
"Try something else." Atticus suggested.
"All right," Buford replied. "How about I give you back your bike I took when we were little?"
"My bike!" Phineas gasped to that.
"When did you take Phineas's bike? And when did he have a bike?" Atticus asked Buford.
"A very, very, very long time ago." Buford said.
"Were you guys babies?" Cherry narrowed her eyes.
"Is that bad?" Buford replied.
"Yes, yes, it is." Cherry nodded.
"How about this?" Phineas suggested as he soon had an idea. "When we make it back here before the sun sets, you gotta give everyone their bikes back."
"Mine was the one with the unusually large front wheel!" A random man called out.
"You stole a man's bike too?" Cherry asked Buford.
"I'm a bully, we take things." Buford shrugged in defense before going to take her necklace.
Cherry soon grabbed his arm and she had demonic eyes, looking aggressive. "HANDS OFF OF MY PROPERTY, YOU PIG!" She then growled.
Buford's eyes widened and he let go, looking rather scared to death.
"Never try to steal this necklace ever again." Cherry narrowed her eyes.
"Heh..." Buford grinned nervously.
"Isn't that a necklace that Maestro gave you for your birthday?" Patch asked.
"It is..." Cherry crossed her arms, rolling her eyes. "I don't know why he would... But at least he gave me something."
"Anyway, as we were with the bet?" Patch reminded.
"I still get to eat the bug though, right?" Buford asked.
"Whatever, kid." Cherry rolled her eyes.
"I want the bug." Buford said.
"Whatever." Cherry replied.
"Phineas, what are you doing?" Isabella panicked. "You're putting your entire world view on the line. And for what? A bunch of bikes?"
"And a bug!" Buford added.
"Isabella, it isn't about the bikes," Phineas told her. "It's about my world view. You see, we all gotta ask ourselves just one question."
"Please don't let there be singing." Cherry begged quietly.
Suddenly, a celebrity came in, dressed in Phineas's clothes. "What is summer really, But a tepid month or three?~"
"Clay Aiken?" Ferb asked.
"Yeah. I hired a stunt singer, what do you think?" Phineas replied.
'He hired a stunt singer for singing a song?' Cherry thought to herself.
"If you agree with Buford, That's all it will ever be, And we don't need to break the laws of physics~," Clay continued to sing as he came around. "To make a day that's longer than a day, We can follow that old sun 'round the circumference of the globe, And stop all the naysayers from nay-say... ing~"
Cherry shrugged as she allowed it for right now, just surprised to see a celebrity in a normal backyard. Suddenly, another celebrity came, wearing Ferb's clothes to make this a duet.
"Chaka Khan, nice." Phineas said to his step-brother.
Cherry held out a paper and a pen for Chaka Khan to give to her mother. Chaka Khan saw this and knew what Cherry wanted.
"Make it out to Michelle." Cherry said.
Chaka Khan signed the paper and handed it back. Cherry took it, folded it up, and put it in her pocket for later. Patch and Perry watched this until they had to be called away. Everyone was soon on the plane as the song continued.
"Hey, where's Perry?" Chaka Khan asked.
"Uh, he'll be back, along with Patch." Atticus smiled sheepishly.
Perry gave a yawn as he and Patch soon went off.
"Yeah, I'm a little tired too, but let's see what mission we have today." Patch nodded to the platypus.
Perry nodded as they went to do that. They soon went in the lair.
"Uh, hi, Agent P. Major Monogram isn't here right now, but he left this note," Carl greeted before he soon imitated the older man's voice "'Dear Carl, I haven't been kidnapped so don't come looking for him-I mean me'," he then said before going back to his normal voice. "Kinda weird, though, that he took the time to cut each letter out of a magazine. Anyway, Doof is on vacation with his daughter in Tokyo right now which is where the Annual World Good Guy Convention is being held, and Major Monogram is the keynote speaker. Coincidence? 100% yes! So I guess you got the day off!"
"We're going to Paris, aren't we?" Patch whispered to Perry, already knowing what this meant.
"Perry the Platypus doesn't let Doofenschmirtz get off easily." Perry replied firmly as he adjusted his fedora.
"Let's head off to Paris." Patch smiled.
"Come with me." Perry smiled back as he went to his hovercraft.
"You got it." Patch said.
Patch and Perry soon went off on their own adventure while Phineas, Ferb, and Atticus would have theirs back home.
"Doofenschmirtz is up to something, he always is..." Perry narrowed his eyes. "I'll always be there to stop him."
"But what could he be up to?" Patch asked.
"That, is what we find out." Perry told him.
"So smart." Patch smiled as the platypus was a lot more than he appeared to be.
Back at the house, Cherry was soon making waffles and eggs for breakfast before the big adventure would begin, and she soon found that Candace and Stacey were up. Candace looked over.
"Uh... Hi...?" Cherry glanced at Stacey. "A bit early to have guests over, isn't it?"
"Candace called me in the middle of the night." Stacey told her with a groan.
"Ah... I see..." Cherry narrowed her eyes. "Well, I'm sorry... Suzy...?"
"Stacey." Stacey corrected, but didn't hold it against her since they didn't know each other.
"Right... Sorry, Stacey..." Cherry replied. "Um, would you like some breakfast?"
"Yes, please." Stacey begged.
"Well, I can make more..." Cherry said as she went back to cooking breakfast before letting out a yawn. "Guh..."
Candace looked very tense and worried about something while Stacey looked at her, knowing something was up.
"So, what's wrong?" Cherry asked as she made breakfast.
"Candace...?" Stacey prompted her best friend.
"Well, you know how Jeremy's in France for another week?" Candace said to her.
"Yeah, so?" Stacey replied.
"Do you know what they have in France?" Candace continued.
"The Pyramids?" Stacey guessed.
"Excuse me?" Cherry deadpanned to that. "The pyramids are in Egypt, not Paris!"
"Besides, I'm talking about French girls!" Candace then said.
"Come on, Candace," Stacey rolled her eyes. "Everybody knows that you and Jeremy are an item."
"Not officially... He's never even called me his girlfriend," Candace told her. "We've never even kissed! That means Jeremy's single, in Paris, and surrounded by French girls. I'm no fool, Stacey, I've seen the oil paintings."
"Will you calm down?" Cherry suggested.
"Calm down? CALM DOWN?!" Candace asked her. "How can I calm down?!"
"Candace, if you want him to call you his girlfriend, maybe you should call him your boyfriend." Stacey suggested.
"I can do that?" Candace asked. "I can use the B-word first?"
"It's the 21st century, I say go crazy." Cherry said as she gave her some breakfast now.
"She's right." Stacey nodded.
"Oh, and Stacy, pyramids? Really?" Candace then asked.
Stacey smiled sheepishly to her best friend.
"Luckily it's summertime." Cherry muttered.
Everyone soon ate breakfast and Cherry sat down once everyone had some and she could sit down, and where later on, she would join them in Phineas and Ferb's invention.
"Okay, we're getting a slight late start because of the broken wing, but here's the whole route," Phineas said. "With stops in Tokyo and Paris to refuel."
"You're going to Paris?" Isabella asked.
"Yeah, wanna come?" Phineas replied.
"To the City of Love?" Isabella asked.
"That's what they call it." Phineas replied.
"You're asking me to go to the City of Love with you?" Isabella asked.
"Yeah, it'll be fun." Phineas smiled.
"Now, let me see if I got this straight-" Isabella replied.
"Do you wanna come or not?" Atticus smirked playfully.
"Oh, uh, sure, I'll come." Isabella said, trying to be cool.
Atticus rolled his eyes as he remembered Phineas and Isabella's kiss even if they didn't.
"Hey, Dinner Bell!" Buford called out. "I'm goin' with you to make sure you don't cheat."
"Dinner Bell?" Atticus repeated in deadpan.
"Okay." Phineas told Buford.
"Why Dinner Bell?" Atticus asked Buford.
"Why not?" Buford asked.
"I never noticed how unoriginal bullying was now that I'm older..." Atticus commented.
"Oh, like you were ever bullied," Buford said to him. "I bet you were the toughest kid ever growing up."
"You'd think that, but not really." Atticus said.
"So Baljeet, you wanna come too?" Phineas invited.
"Well, naturally-" Baljeet began.
"I get one carry-on." Buford interrupted.
"Buford, it's not nice to interrupt." Atticus scolded.
"Oh, uh, heh, sorry." Buford said sheepishly.
"Now, you were saying?" Atticus asked Baljeet.
"Uh, well, I suppose I could come too if it's okay." Baljeet smiled sheepishly.
"It's okay." Atticus smiled back.
"All right. Carry on, then," Phineas smiled before looking to the celebrity who helped out. "Did you get that wing fixed yet?"
"I guess so," Chaka replied. "We pretty much used up all the packing tape."
"Okay, the clock is ticking, everyone!" Phineas then warned the others.
"Phineas is right, we can't waste a single second!" Atticus added.
"Phineas! What's going on here?" Candace glared as she soon stormed outside of the house.
"We're flying around the world to make the longest, funnest day of summer ever." Phineas smiled to his sister.
"Oh, no, no, no," Candace glared. "Mom left me in charge, and I say you and your little friends are not going anywhere-"
"Hey, Candace, check out this giant map!" Stacey smiled.
"This is one big map." Cherry admitted.
"You're going to Paris...?" Candace asked. "France?"
"That's the plan," Phineas nodded. "We'll have to stop and refuel."
Candace paused as she looked at the map before thinking and looking determined. "Like I was saying, you and your little friends are not going anywhere... Without me!"
"Or me." Cherry smirked.
"No, no, no, no, Candace!" Stacey warned her best friend. "This is a bad idea! About as bad as you've ever had in a long line, and I love you when you say this, really, really bad ideas."
"Stacey, they're going to Paris! Where Jeremy is!" Candace replied.
"As long as their mom doesn't know they left and went to Paris, everything will be fine." Cherry assured her.
"As long as you're sure..." Stacey replied.
"You wanna come?" Cherry asked.
"I better stay here," Stacey replied. "Well, say hi to Jeremy for me! And hey, you should stop by and see my cousins in Tokyo!"
"We'll say hi for you." Atticus told her.
"Ferb, did you get the giant map packed?" Phineas asked.
Ferb then tapped his pocket.
"Wow, mad folding skills," Phineas smiled to that. "You guys all ready?"
"We sure are." Atticus nodded.
"Ready for you to lose!" Buford replied.
Cherry and Atticus rolled their eyes at the bullying.
"Adyson, you're in charge while I'm gone." Isabella told one of the Fireside Girls.
"Let's get going." Cherry said.
"Uh, Ferb?" Phineas asked.
They looked to see that the house would be in the way if they took off now. Ferb clicks a button, lowering the house down into the ground.
"All right, everyone, make sure your tray tables are stowed and your seats are in their full and up-" Phineas told everyone before they took off at super-speed.
"Wahoo!" Atticus cheered.
The house rises again and the backyard is a mess from the take-off. Adyson soon barked orders as soon as Isabella was gone. The plane soon somewhat slowed down while in the air as they began to leave Danville.
"This is actually fun." Cherry smirked.
"So, what did you guys think of the Pacific Ocean?" Phineas asked the passengers.
"Eh, probably like my fifth favorite ocean." Buford shrugged.
"Next stop: Tokyo!" Phineas smiled.
"Here we come!" Atticus added.
