"Phineas: No Cars Go"

Notes: This is part of a series of Phineas and Ferb songfics based from the songs of The Arcade Fire. Each songfic is a dream from a main character. This one is Phineas' dream. I don't own Phineas and Ferb or the music of The Arcade Fire. The song is No Cars Go by The Arcade Fire.

Today was just an ordinary summer day in the lives of two stepbrothers from Danville named Phineas and Ferb. Like they do every summer day, they create something new that either defies logic and the laws of time and space, go on an adventure that expands the boundaries of their surroundings, or both. This day, they will do both, as they had created a vehicle that goes to wherever they think to go. As a result, nothing could stop them from going or doing anything anymore. It came as a coup de foudre and it was the coup de grace of their inventions. The only problem that faced the two was where they wanted to go. Phineas, as always, came up with the first and best idea. He said to Ferb:

We know a place where no planes go
We know a place where no ships go
(Hey!) No cars go
(Hey!) No cars go
Where we know

It was at that point that Ferb realized that Phineas was talking about their imaginations and it intrigued him as much as it intrigued Phineas. The concept of travelling to their imaginations was a revolutionary event in their young existence. They thought that a gift that is so great to the world must be shared to kids around the world. Phineas and Ferb invited Isabella, Buford, Baljeet, Django, and the Fireside Girls to come for an unveiling and a test flight. To begin the unveiling, Phineas said to them:

We know a place no space ships go
We know a place where no subs go
(Hey!) No cars go
(Hey!) No cars go
Where we know

The group of kids were awestruck and astounded. They couldn't believe their eyes when they saw this amazing vehicle ready to take them to their imaginations. However, there was some scepticism. Buford wondered if this was a joke and Baljeet questioned if this was actually scientifically possible. Isabella asked, "How do we know if it works?" Phineas replied:


(Hey!) Us kids know
(Hey!) No cars go
Where we know

Everyone couldn't wait for their exciting new adventure and they all entered the vehicle. There was an air of anticipation inside the backyard and with a little bit of fear but mostly excitement, the kids braced themselves. Then they all asked, "When will it start working?" Ferb said only this:


Between the click of the light and the start of the dream

All the kids started to close their eyes and imagine. Then, the vehicle revved up and the noise produced from it started to grow louder. The lights started to flash and then stayed lit. The vehicle started to shake, but the collective fear and doubt was now gone. Everyone thought of their own fantasy and soon enough, the kids started to walk around and soon found themselves inside their own imagination. The kids were overjoyed and they were forever ecstatic.
