To Be Human
Chapter 3: Fun With Magnets
This story is not official in anyway for the Phineas and Ferb series.
Marie Flynn (C) belongs to Angelus19 and sam-ely-ember.
Thomas Fletcher (C) belongs to Melty19.
Jasmine Rai (C) belongs to sam-ely-ember and melty19.
Back at the museum, Marie and her friends have already started having their fun. With 4 brains and 8 arms working, the broken electromagnet display is almost completely fixed. Since Thomas chose not to help at the start, he's missed just about everything. At least he gets to see the finishing touches.
"So Marie." Thomas says. "How's the machine coming along and where can I hide when it blows up?"
"Glad to know we have your confidence, Tommy." Marie sarcastically says. "Anyway, we're done. We just gotta turn it on."
"You guys are going to get in so much trouble for this."
After jumping down from the machine, the kids all take a step back to admire their work. It's been greatly modified to look just like one of those old giant magnets you would see in junkyards, as it is now connected to a large, metal disk being held up in the air by powerful cables.. Before, it could of been compared to a pile of scrap, but thanks to Marie and her friends...
"Great job, guys. All we got to do now is to test the beast!" Marie says. "Someone plug the sucker in!"
"I'll be hiding behind something in case it blows up." Thomas says.
"We're gonna hide next to you!" Fred says, answering for himself and his brother..
With the boys getting a safe distance away from the machine, Marie and Jazz are the only ones brave to stand close to the machine upon activation. They now have it plugged in, they've made final preperations, made sure they're not wearing any other metal, all they need to do now is put something metalic underneath the machine and turn it on. Marie does, however, notice two pieces of metal Jazz forgot to take off.
"Um, Jazz. I bet it would suck if you kept your earrings on during this."
"OH!" Jazz says as she unclips her earrings. "Yes, that would of hurt. At least we know what to test this thing on now."
And now, they have a test subject. Placing her large yellow earrings underneath the magnet, Jazz is now looking forward to seeing them float up in the air. Although, she hopes they don't break.
And that's that. Everything is ready. Without further delay Marie walks over to the control station of the machine, turns up the dial, and...
vrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRR...
The magnet turns on. After turning on, the earrings slowly begin to levitate off the ground. As machine stays on longer, more power is supplied to the machine, allowing it to suck up the earrings completely and finally reach the machine. This project is offically a success.
"Congradulations. You can pick up an earring." Thomas sarcastically says.
"Oh, don't be a party pooper." Marie says. "It's still powering up. Someone throw a wrench or something."
Reaching in for one of the tools used, Xavier throws the requested wrench in, which immediately gets sucked up by the magnet's force, hitting the magnet after a few seconds.
"Ok, ok, you got me." Thomas admits. "Now let's go do something else now."
Hearing Thomas admitting defeat makes Marie giggle. Agreeing with Thomas, she starts to walk over to him and the Johnson boys. However, after she takes a few steps, she notices that something is wrong. She can feel her legs moving, but she's not moving any closer to her friends.
"MARIE!" Jazz shouts out.
Right there, Marie figures out what's wrong. It's the magnet. For some reason, it's pulling her up! before realizing it, she's already 5 feet up in the air!
"AAHH!" She screams. "SOMEONE HELP ME DOWN!"
"MARIE!" Thomas shouts as he runs over to help her.
Thomas and Jazz both run over and jump up as high as they could, only to be inches away from the floating girl. As the magnet gets stronger and stronger, Marie flies up higher and higher until...
CLANG!
Marie's head hits the magnet, and she hits it hard. Shortly after hitting the magnet, she begins to feel wierd. She suddenly feels sleepy. Drowsy. She can't tell if it's from hitting her head hard, but nonetheless, she's loses conciousness.
"GAHHHH!" Thomas screams. "What do we do?"
"I'll get your Grandpa!" Xavier says in a panic.
"I'll get your Grandpa with him!" Fred says.
While chaos is happening at the museum, Phineas has been dealing with his own issues. Working in alone in his basement, Phineas is quietly working in his lab on a large, barrel shaped battery. He doesn't seem overly happy with working on this thing though.
"...Stupid little...Of all times for a battery to brek." He mumbles to himself. "Flat-head screwdriver!"
Upon stating his request, a long, black, metal arm comes down from the ceiling, hands Phineas the requested screwdriver, and he resumes his work without moving his head.
Knock knock knock. "Phineas? Can I come in?" Isabella asks.
"Answer."
As ordered, another metal arm opens the door and allows Isabella to walk in the lab. She can't help but feel disturbed by the thing that actually answered the door for her. Hanging on the ceiling is a large, sphere shaped robot with a big red eye in the middle of it. Extending from this machine are 8 long robotic arms, each with a different purpose.
"Phineas, I really wish you would just get rid of The Spider already. It's so...creepy."
"Yes, but there's no denying that it's handy." Phineas answers without turning his head to his wife. "Spanner!"
After asking for the spanner tool, he notices that it's immediately placed in front of his face. He reaches up to grab the tool, only to bemoved away from him. He turns around to try and get the tool he needs. It's then that he realizes that it wasn't The Spider who had his tool. It was his wife.
"GUH!" Phineas says in shock when he sees her. "Didn't know you were here."
"That's because you haven't been noticing me lately. I swear, this is worse then when we were kids."
"I'm sorry, Isabella. But if I keep my full attention on Project H, I may be able to finish it soon. This is just too important. If it means changing our little girl's life for the better, then I may have to give up some of my own time to do it."
"Even if that means taking time away from me?" Isabella asks.
"Phinedroid and Ferbots. Phinedroid and Ferbots."
Before getting to answer Isabella's question, his cellphone begins ringing its ring tone. Lucky for Phineas.
"Hello?" Phineas answers quickly. "Yes, this is Phineas Flynn. What can...uh huh...ok, I'll be right there." He says before hanging up.
"NOW what are you doing?" Isabella asks.
"We have to go to the museum. Something's bad happened to Marie."
Back at the museum, the unconcious Marie has gathered quite a bit of attention from the visitors. Bei ng stuck on a magnet that's as high up as it is, not only is she out of everyone's reach, but it's not too dangerous to turn the machine off, or else she'll may fall to her doom.
"I don't get it. Why can't we just use a ladder to get her?" Doofenshmirtz asks.
"We did." The museum director answers. "It got sucked up by the magnet. You can see it right next to her up there."
While the grown ups are trying to find a way to get Marie down safely, Marie's friends, especially Thomas, are worried sick about Marie.
"Oh man, oh man, oh man, OH MAN! WHY did I leave her alone? She always hurts herself when doing this kind of stuff, BUT THIS IS THE WORST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO HER?"
"As cute as you look being worried about Marie, don't be worried. They'll figure a way to help her." Jazz says.
"BEHOLD! The gravity-inator!"
Upon hearing Doofenshmirtz saying that, Thomas runs right to him, becoming more worried then ever. the evil doctor is wearing a pair of lazer cannons that are covering over both of his shoulders.
"Once I shoot this at Marie, her body mass will increase greatly, causing her to fall from the magnet and return to the ground!"
"But Grandpa, wouldn't that also rip her in two?"
"Well, no plan is perfect. Here I go!'
"NOO!"
As the doctor shoots the beams upward, Thomas tackles him down, causing the beams to shoot off course. Instead of hitting Marie as planned, it instead hits the magnet itself. As the doctor promised, the magnet becomes much heavier. Due to it's now massive weight, it can no longer stay in the air with the support of the machine's cables.
SNAP!
"GAHH!" The doctor screams before blasting the magnet again.
After hitting the magnet a second time with his gravity-inator, the giant magnet and Marie both becomes weightless and no longer bound to the laws of gravity. The magnet, now no longer connected to the machine, slowly floats down to the ground, as well as Marie, who is no longer magnetized. Before hitting the ground, Thomas runs out and catches her before landing.
With the magnet no longer able to do any more damage, Marie's life is no longer in any danger.
"Mr Doofenshmirtz, you did it!" The director says. "We should name a wing after you."
"SCORE!"
"GRANDPA!"
After catching Marie, he runs back to Doofenshmirtz while carrying Marie's weightless body. While Marie is no longer attacked to a magnet, Thomas is more scared then he's ever been before."
"Tom, what's wrong?"
"Grandpa! Marie..." Thomas says as he's on the verge of tears now. "She's...Marie's not breathing!"
Ok, I had the chance to end this on a cliffhanger earlier then that, but I decided to end it with a REAL cliffhanger. Damn, I'm a jerl. :D
Like I promised, alot more happened in this chapter then the last one. Hope I did good. Next chapter, we'll see if Marie is alive or not. It'll also explain why she got sucked into the magnet.
Also, take note of The Spider. It'll be important in the story. I would've called it S.P.I.D.E.R, but I couldn't think of an acronym for it. Fail.
What else to say then read, review, and ciao.
