Second Chappy up. Thanks for all the faves and stuff, but I'd be really happy if you'd comment. And here's a small warning: It gets REALLY freaky in this chap. Enjoy
chapter two - Candace's dream!
„Hey Phineas", Isabella's sweet voice was heard.
Phineas turned around in shock, his dream from this night still haunting him. The ultra-cute black haired stood there just like she had in the dream, he arms behind her back, her pink dress running smoothly along her body and the smile wide on her face, like always when she saw him.
"H … h … hey … Isa … bella?" Phineas greeted tense, fearing that she'd turn into a man any minute.
"Is something the matter?" Isabella asked, her smile turning into a frown.
"No, no there isn't", Phineas answered relieved.
"Okay then, watcha dooin'?"
"We're building a machine with which we can enter people's dreams. We just don't know what we're gonna call it yet!"
"But aren't dreams kinda private? I mean, I wouldn't want everyone to see what I'm dreaming about."
"You think? I thought of it as a great way to get to know you guys even better. Besides, think of all the things we could see. I'm sure that we could see the most awesome inventions in Ferb's dreams."
Named boy blinked.
"Thinking of it like that …." Isabella thought out loud. "That might not even be a bad idea. Can I help you with anything?"
"Sure! You can help Ferb and me to build up the dream watcher. Hey, that might be a good name for it, don't you think Ferb?"
"No, no I don't", Ferb looked up from the little thingy he was working on.
"Yeah, you're probably right. Come on Isabella let's help Ferb."
While Phineas kept redoing the blueprints every time something wasn't quite right, Ferb was looking for problems in praxis and Isabella was their right hand. When everything was right without mistake, Phineas went to help his brother. Meanwhile, Linda was busy calming her teenage daughter down.
"But mom, I'm telling you it's true! It's not my fault that you're never fast enough to see the boys before their weird whatsoevers disappear!" The red-haired teenager cried.
"Honestly Candace, I worry about you sometimes. First of all, the boys are way too young to be doing all that stuff; they could never get it together."
"You're totally underestimating them!"
"Second, if they really did build all these things, the roller-coaster, the beach and all that, don't you think I would have at least heard of it by now?"
"What do you think I'm trying to get you to do?"
"And third, even if these things were built, how could they just disappear like that? It's impossible!"
"Nobody knows that. Not even Phineas!"
"I'm sorry honey, but I really don't have time for that anymore. I have to go now. You're in charge."
"BUT MOM!"
Candace didn't get a chance to say anything anymore. The door closed behind Linda and she was gone. Candace yelled out in frustration and ran to the boys when she was done with it.
"ALRIGHT YOU TWO!" she yelled. "Oh, hi Isabella!"
"Hi Candace."
"Listen up! Moms off to Jeremy's house, so I'm in charge, get it? Try anything funny and I'm calling Mom!"
"Sure thing sis", Phineas said.
Candace eyed them suspiciously for a second but then went into the house, sat down on her most favorite armchair and called Stacy.
"And then she was like; oh no you didn't and I was like; yes I did …"
"Hey, Phineas?" Isabella suddenly straightened up.
"What is it?" Phineas asked without looking up.
"Have you noticed that Perry is missing?"
That made Phineas look up. He turned his head in all directions but the families Platypus was nowhere in sight.
"No, no I haven't. Pretty, weird, usually I realize he's gone before we start our project …" That dream must've shaken him up more than he thought.
!=!=!=!=
In the living room of the Flynn-Fletcher family was a green platypus standing around. That is, until it suddenly jumped on two feet, putting a brown agent hat on his head. It looked around, making sure nobody was present. When he saw that he was alone, he ran to a wall and knocked it three times. A hole opened in that wall and the platypus disappeared in it. He sled down a long slide and landed softly on a chair in front of a huge monitor. He was in a totally white room full of stuff that looked like it belonged to a secret agency. As we all know, it did.
"Ah Agent P", a man with white hair and a white mustache appeared on the monitor. "We've noticed Doofenschmirtz is not showing himself anymore at all. At least during the day. On the other hand, many people have reported that they saw a man in their dreams and their description of fitted perfectly to Doofenschmirtz. Get out there and figure out what's going on!"
Perry saluted and ran to one of the walls where some kind of small vehicle was standing. The platypus jumped into it and the vehicle floated into the air and flew off.
)")")")"
"Alright, we're done!" Phineas cheered.
Ferb held a held a tiny blue ball in his hands and three little chips. He gave one of these Chips to Phineas and one to Isabella. The last one he kept to himself.
"Come over tonight when everybody is sleeping and we'll try them out." Phineas spoke again. "And don't lose or forget the chip."
"There is only one little problem", Isabella sighed.
"Problem? What kind of problem?"
"My mom will never allow me to go out so late at night."
"Hmm … true …"
For a moment all three were silent, thinking for a way to have Isabella at their house that night without breaking any rules. It was Ferb who came up with the idea. He tipped Phineas' shoulder, wanting to have Phineas attention. When he did have it, Ferb pointed at the house. Not a gesture that would tell anybody else something, but Phineas understood immediately.
"Ferb, you're a genius!" He cried out.
"Did he find a way?" Isabella asked.
"Just stay over at our house, tonight. I'm sure your mom will allow that. I mean, it's not like it'd be the first time you'd stay overnight."
"Phineas, that's brilliant. I'll go ask my mom right away!" With these words, Isabella ran out of the Flynn-Fletcher garden.
"I'll go call mom", Phineas said and ran into the house. Ferb was left standing in the backyard alone.
"Is anybody ever interested in the things I accomplish?" He asked nobody in particular.
While Ferb was complaining to a ghost, Phineas ran to the living room where Candace had made herself comfortable on the armchair closest to the phone to chat with Stacy.
"Really? That must've been horrible. Uh huh … I see … I wonder if tomato juice would look good on his shirt."
"Candace", Phineas interrupted his sister.
Candace looked at him, annoyance dripping from her face. She sighed a heavy sigh and shifted her attention back to the person on the other end of line.
"One second Stacy, Phineas thinks he has to bust in. Alright twerp, whadda ya want?"
"I was just wondering if I could borrow your mobile to call mom."
"What fooooor?" Candace asked, suddenly very suspicious of her little brother.
"I wanna ask if Isabella can stay overnight."
The elder red haired eyed the younger red haired with eagle eyes for a few moments, then she took a small phone out of her pocket and gave it to Phineas. He thanked his sister and went out of the room while Candace went back to talking with her best friend.
"Alright, where were we?"
)")")")")
At Jeremy's house, a phone ringed. All three women sitting at the table looked up from their cards. Mrs. Flynn-Fletcher sighed and took out her phone.
"Candace?" Jeremy's mom asked.
"Yup", Linda responded and answered the phone. "Alright Candace, what kind of crazy things are your brothers doing today?"
"Well, we just finished a device with which we can enter people's dreams, but I'm not Candace."
"Phineas?"
"Much better. Anyways, we wanted to have Isabella take part in the fun, but since we can only do that at night, we were wondering if she could stay over tonight. Can she, please?"
"I don't know sweety. You're getting a bit too old to have girls stay overnight."
"Really? Why's that? What's different from the way it used to be?"
"Well … you see …"
"…"
"Uhm…"
"Yes?"
"Oh for heaven's sake; that is NOT a question I'm going to answer. She can stay over."
"Thanks mom, you're the best!"
Linda sighed and put her mobile phone away. She was starting to worry not only about Candace, but about Phineas, too. He was in the age were boys should start having interests in girls, but Phineas was still totally oblivious to the gender differences and to everything that came with it. To him, having Isabella overnight would be the same like having Baljeet overnight. And how long will it take him to notice that little Isabella had a crush on him?
)!)!)!)!)
Doofenschmirtz evil inc.
Perry the platypus jumped into an open window, but Dr. D's apartment was empty. Perry looked everywhere, but he couldn't find his nemesis. There was only one room he hadn't entered yet and that was Doofenschmirtz's bedroom. Silently, Perry took a look into it and there was the familiar pointy face with the long nose in the bed. Doofenschmirtz was sleeping. Perry entered the room, but the moment his foot touched the red carpet of the room, a trap emerged from it. It was chain that wrapped itself around Perry's foot, making him unable to go anywhere. In the bed, Doofenschmirtz started to move and Perry was afraid he'd wake up.
"Curse you Perry the platypus" Doofenschmirtz muttered with a heavy German accent and turned around.
Perry sighed.
"Oh look, there's a talking Zebra."
Perry rolled his eyes.
!)!)!)!))!
Quietly, Phineas, Ferb and Isabella looked around to see if Linda and Lawrence were asleep. When they saw that they were, they tiptoed to the other side of the door to their room and went on to Candace's room. When they made sure she was asleep as well, the trio toed to her bed.
"Alright," Phineas whispered, "put the chip in your ear."
Isabella looked at Phineas critically for a second not quite sure if she really wanted to do this, but obeyed all the same. Phineas and Ferb put the little device in their ears as well. Then, Ferb clicked the red button on the little ball and it split apart, only being held together by the red button.
"Was it supposed to do that?" Isabella asked.
"Just trust us. When did we ever let you down?"
"When you were the beak."
"Oh … yeah … I still feel guilty about that …"
"Don't. You did it to protect me, so it's okay", Isabella tried to cheer Phineas up.
Phineas looked at Isabella's bright smile and a tiny, but sad smile crawled over his face as well. Ferb rolled his eyes. Sure, Phineas was the genius in their relationship, but Phineas wouldn't be able to do much without him, just like he wouldn't be able to do much without Phineas. And still, Phineas was the only one ever giving him credit for his work. Ferb shifted his attention back to the little device at hand and put it on Candace's forehead. Immediately, it snapped on to it and held itself tight.
"Get ready Isabella", Phineas whispered.
Ferb pressed the red button again and the trio got sucked into it.
)!)!)!)!
"Is it that time already?" Doofenschmirtz stopped the ringing of his alarm.
He sat upright in his bed and stretched himself, yawning heavily. The he stood up rubbing his eyes and revealing his pink bathrobe. Sleepy he made his way to the bathroom but tripped over the blankets of his bed and fell right in front of the platypus.
"OUCH! Now that hurt. Oh Perry the platypus, what are you doing here? How long have you been standing there? Oh I see you fell into my trap, how very stupid of you!"
"Grrrrr", Perry said.
"Yeah yeah, whatever. I bet you want to hear about my new evil scheme. You see, my nights are not very nice. I often have nightmares of my crazy ex-wife, my rotten childhood, my goody two-shoes brother and of you foiling my plans. So I decided that I would no longer be the only one to not be able to sleep. Every night I will go into somebody's dreams and make a nightmare out of it. That person will then never have a quiet night again, for I have a device I take with me into the dreamworlds."
Doofenschmirtz loosened Perry's chain from the floor and wrapped it around the rest of Perry. Then he went out of the room.
"Well what are you waiting for, Perry the platypus? Follow me."
Perry grrrrd and followed Doofenschmirtz by hopping around. The two walked (and hopped) to the top of the building where Doofenschmirtz kept all his crazy inventions. He went to a shelve and took a little circle with a red button on it.
"BEHOLD, THE NIGHTMARINATOR!" Doofenschmirtz cried. "When I press this red button inside of a dream, it will alter the part of the brain that creates dreams so that it will only allow bad dreams. And as soon as I have finished this new evil scheme, NOBODY IN THE TRI STATE AREA WILL EVER HAVE A GOOD DREAM AGAIN! But of course, I'm not letting anybody take away the joy of ruining a person's dream for the first time."
"Grrrr", Perry the platypus said.
"Of course I can't go through every single person's dream, that would take ages. Honestly Perry the platypus, I wonder what you are thinking sometimes. I have my daughter Vanessa to help me. She said that a boy she called Ferb told her to meet me halfway so that we could have a better relationship and that I should meet her halfway as well, so now she's taking part in some of my evil plans. Not in all of them and only if I ask her to, but hey, it's a start. Anywho, while I cover one half of all the population, Vanessa covers the other half. That way, things will go much faster."
Doofenschmirtz walked to a computer and turned it on. He opened a list with names. Some names had tick behind them, but the most of them didn't. Doofenschmirtz clicked on one of the names and a picture of a red-haired girl with blue eyes appeared.
"Hmm … Candace Flynn … 15 years old … yes that will do …" Doofenschmirtz mumbled.
Perry's eyes went wide as he saw the picture and he broke into sweat. Anybody, Doofenschmirtz could have taken anybody, but not one of his owners. Perry started to panic. He was totally wrapped up in chains, so there was nothing he could do. But he had to do something.
"Alright, she is my first victim this night! And let's go!"
Doofenschmirtz pressed a button on his computer and the computers camera sucked him up. Perry jumped after him and made it just in time to get caught and sucked up by the camera.
!)!)!)!)!)
Phineas, Ferb and Isabella landed on an Island with a beautiful beach, a small rain forest and many palm trees. Quickly, they all hid behind a few huge rocks at the beach.
"Now remember, don't let Candace see us. If she does, we influence her dream and we don't wanna do that." Phineas warned the other.
"MOM MOM MOM YOU GOTTA SEE WHAT PHINEAS AND FERB ARE DOING!" Candace came around the corner, dragging Linda with her.
"Sure honey, whatever you want!"
"Come on, let's follow them!" Phineas said, pointing at Candace.
They all ran, Candace in the lead, dragging her mom behind her, Phineas, Ferb and Isabella at a fair distance so that they would not be spotted. The two ran through the woods, then through a restaurant, through a huge roller-coaster, through a donkey, through a huge cheese sandwich, through bra paradise ("Do we really have to go in there?" Phineas asked) and through Disneyland in Tokyo. They swam through the ocean, through a huge see of noodles, through lava and through Stacy's. They ran and ran until Candace finally stopped in the mall.
"Oh wow, I can go shopping now!" She called out to nobody in particular.
"Hey, where did Mom go?" Phineas asked from their hideout.
"Hello Princess", a waiter in a tux came to Candace. "Would you like some jewels or a few new dresses or some Crème de la Jeremy? It is all for free, exclusively for you."
"Hmm … I want cherry and strawberry lip gloss, that blue dress, that pink one, the red one and the green one, no green is ugly, but I would like that diadem and that necklace and that hat and OH MY GOD, THESE SHOES ARE CUTE I want them as well and a new Mercedes and these sunglasses and these and these and I want that teddy bear and that lamp and that watch and that chair and that huge floating baby head and that roller-coaster and that nerd and these cameras the Eifel-tower and that elephant and all copyrights for Hatsune Miku and that temple and that cute mix of a raccoon and a fox with the head of a horse and the squirrel…"
Silence …
"Okay, take the squirrel back. Isn't that great Stacy?" Candace turned to her best friend, who was sitting on a huge pile of shoe boxes
"Yeah, especially all of these shoes." Stacy smiled back, but then Candace's attention got caught by a huge picture that took in the whole mall.
"Oh … my … god …" she gasped. "A TEN STORY PICTURE OF GRANDPA'S NAKED BUTT!" She cheered.
Phineas' shoulder's dropped and his eye started twitching. "That is … really … uhm … well … I don't even know what that is … but I think it blinded me …"
Next to Phineas, Ferb collapsed and Isabella was trying her best not to puke into Candace's dream. The scene changed and they were in the back garden where another Phineas and another Ferb were training skeletons to ride on huge Suzy's with Squirrel heads.
"I AM SO GONNA GET YOU THIS TIME!" Candace yelled at dream Phineas and Ferb and went inside to observe them from the house.
"You know, Kevin, it hasn't worked all this time, why should it work now?" A Zebra sitting in a rocket chair, knitting a scarf said.
"Because I have YOU at my side. The two of us combined will bust Phineas and Ferb and nobody will be able to stop us, MUAHAHAHAHA! Hey where's Perry?"
Just when she said that, Perry and Dr. D fell through the roof and landed right in front of Candace.
"There you are Perry. And you even got that cute agency hat back."
"Wait, wait a second. Do you … do you know each other?"
Silence …
Perry jumped into the air and somehow managed to kick Doofenschmirtz into the wall.
"Here Perry, lemme help you out of these chains", Candace smiled and unwrapped Perry.
He smiled at her and tilted his hat down a little in an attempt to say thanks. Candace smiled back and Perry ran to Dr. Doofenschmirtz and disappeared.
"Alright giant baby head, let's get you to bed." Candace smiled and started walking up the stairs, the giant floating baby followed her.
"Now that was weird." Isabella said.
"Yeah … but we'd better follow her. This area could fall apart any minute." Phineas said and ran up the stairs.
Isabella and Ferb followed him. They stopped at Candace's room where they heard a gasp coming from. They hid behind the wall and only pocked their heads into the room. The baby head was gone. Jeremy had taken his place.
"Hey Candace", Jeremy said smiling.
"Hey Jeremy", Candace giggled and suddenly, they were in a totally different room.
The hiding trio noticed that there was no wall to hide behind anymore, so they sneaked behind a couch.
"Uhm … where are we?" Candace asked.
"My room. Don't you remember what it looks like?"
"Oh … yeah … I guess I'm just a little tense from always trying to bust my brothers."
"Makes sense."
"That makes no sense at all" Phineas whispered behind the couch only to get harshly hushed by Isabella who was totally caught up in that scene.
The look on her face was all dreamy and she was smiling a soft smile. She sighed.
"Want me to spoil you a bit?" Jeremy asked, coming very close to Candace.
"You'd do that?"
"Well, you ARE my girlfriend. Just say the word and I'll help you relax as much as you want."
"I don't get it", Phineas whispered again and again, Isabella hushed him.
"Alright then Tiger", Candace purred her fingers running up Jeremy's chest, "I'm as tense as can be so gimme everything ya got."
Without warning, Jeremy picked Candace up bridal style. Her eyes went wide in surprise and a small blush crept across her cheeks. She was unable to put her eyes of Jeremy's perfect face as he carried her to his bed. Both, Phineas and Ferb would have thought he'd put her down softly, but he just let her fall. Candace screamed and by the time got her orientation back, Jeremy and her were already nose to nose. He smirked and it made him look so cool, Candace couldn't help but smile as well.
"You asked for it", He said and instead of the passionate lip contact Candace expected, Jeremy started kissing her neck.
"Why is he kissing her neck? Isn't that kind of gross?" Phineas asked Isabella disgusted.
Her eyes were wide, the dreamy look from before gone. There was no longer a smile on her face.
"Isabella? You okay?" Phineas asked her.
For a long time, she didn't respond. It seems like had frozen in spot. It took the shock of having Candace getting rid of Jeremy's jacket that she finally reacted.
"Phineas?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you remember that one topic we discussed in social studies? The one right after Christmas holidays?"
"Ugh, don't remind me of that. That was the most grotesque topic ever. Why would anybody ever do something like that? And why are you bringing that up?"
"I think that's what's happening here."
Silence …
"Ferb, get us out of here! Now!" Phineas said toneless.
Ferb was more than happy to obey and pulled on Isabella's and Phineas' ears and then on his own. All three disappeared from the scene.
