Writer's Blockade Part 6

By Lolitafreak88

Soon, all the main rebels, Candace (Undercover Princess), Perry (Mysterious Leader), Isabella (Too Adorable for Words), and Phineas and Ferb (Building Brothers), were gathered at a table. Candace and Isabella were now dressed in their normal outfits. The Narrator was hovering about, still invisible to the character's because he could not directly influence the story in any way. On the table were two large, retro T.V's that looked like they came from the 20's. They even had the knobs and dials that you'd turn around like locker room combinations. These were the Teleport T.V's and Phineas was about to explain it's function thoroughly.

"So these T.V's have the amazing power of teleporting you to a whole other dimension that exists only inside the T.V and as long as there is another Teleport T.V, there will be portals inside the T.V that can teleport you in and out of the T.V. So one portal will take you back to where you originally entered the T.V but if you go through the other portal, you will be taken to where the other T.V is. So... if we plant a T.V in front of the castle as a gift and when the time is right, we can sneak into the castle and effectively bypass all the defenses Alchemist Heinz has on the castle." Candace nodded her head, Phineas's explanation sounded just like how she imagined it and more. This plan was going to be the miracle the rebels needed. This story was going to get to its climax and soon Candace would be back to the real Danville. She had to admit though,

"You know, thanks for everything. For giving me a place to stay, for supporting me, for..." Candace hesitated as the next part she wanted to say was something that she felt was kind of embarrassing to admit. The Narrator caught on instantly and urged her on,

"Go on Candace." Candace took a sigh of exhaustion and added on to her sentence,

"... For putting up with my zaniness."

"Of course Candace, to tell you the truth, you are the most amusing person we've ever met!" Isabella giggled. Everyone else laughed along with Isabella including the Narrator leading Candace to grimace. It was frustrating to have everyone see you as some crazy or at least hyper person. Like how everytime she was featured in publicity, she always looked crazy like that "Lost Platypus That Looks like a Girl" ad that her brothers, and regrettably Izzy, helped to make when Perry and her had switched bodies... Huh. I've actually BEEN in his body, so... that must mean I know him the best out of the family then. Candace thought starting to remember that day. Or at least, I can sympathize with him genetically. Candace smiled though, because this knowledge would help her flirt with Perry even more or at least make it seem more genuine.

"Ha, ha. I doubt Perry thinks that about me, I bet Perry sees me as the crème de la crème of... well... milk?" Candace asked, stuck on the milk part of her and Perry switching bodies. Perry raised an eyebrow but chattered rather happily. Isabella, as always, translated for him,

"He says 'I see you as SOMETHING alright. Something just as sweet as milk.' Sigh... flirtation at it's finest." Candace had to bite her lip. Now Perry was flirting with her! Maybe she should've worn something more... pedestrian during that song... Nah, this is for the story after all, Candace reassured herself. Plus I'm learning ways of flirting that I can use on Jeremy when I get back home too!

"So anyways, I guess we better get going, if we do it tonight when they are all asleep, we'll catch them all off-guard!" Candace said cheerily and started to head off towards the exit when Phineas's firm hand gripped her shoulder. Candace turned around with a rather "Derpy" expression and muttered,

"Eh?"

"Candace, about that, we actually added a new device in the plan. Well, at least a part 2. Like you said, the weakness of the T.V's is that if one of them is left off, no one can access that T.V's portal. And if both are off then we'll be stuck in the T.V world until one of them is turned on. I can't risk you being trapped in with us and we need people who can fight alongside and keep watch over the T.V that we'll place at Heinz's palace. You and Perry will hide in a treasure chest, with poked holes in it for breathing space, that will also be laid next to the T.V in front of the palace and hopefully, you'll be taken inside along with the T.V. Then once your inside, you'll be able to get in and get out cause we will leave the chest unlocked." Phineas explained. Candace's face got even more "Derpy" as a result of confusion and nerves. Stuck in a chest with Perry, that sounded pretty scary... Not only would there be a random chance of her and Perry getting discovered but... it would be cramped, uncomfortable, and private... Perry chattered. Isabella blushed after this specific chatter and told Candace,

"He says that 'I won't bite'. Hee hee!" Candace couldn't help herself and face-palmed. Clearly the fact Perry did not know boundaries, judging by how many times he came into her room uninvited, was applied to THIS Perry. Candace asked the Narrator, hand still on face,

"Mr. Narrator, PLEASE tell me that was in the original story." The Narrator fortunately answered quickly,

"Actually yes, Isabella was inspired by the magic of digital editing when writing this scene. It's also at this point that the Mysterious Lover starts to flirt with the princess or at the very least tease her. It was also added for comic relief. Although the T.V's were not originally in the script, just the treasure chest part and it was actually multiple treasure chests." But then the Narrator gulped. He felt like he had revealed slightly too much information with that last bit. Candace's eyes sparkled and she lifted her hand of her face to exclaim,

"Then that means this should work! Great! Ok guys, get me into that chest! Heinz's palace is the X Marks the Spot for this story!" The Narrator sighed sadly, a bit disappointed that he had spoiled part of the story. Only crazy witches and mean-spirited people would be fond of spoiling the story for those listening to the story. So he felt like one of those people but at least Candace was happy. The rebel leaders cheered excitedly at this too and were soon infused with vigor.

"Gretchen! Adyson! Buford! And Baljeet! Come here!" Isabella called out. The four soon arrived, Buford was munching on what appeared to be a potato and looked bored. Baljeet... just looked like Baljeet and Adyson and Gretchen were doing a military salute.

"Yes Isabella?" Gretchen asked.

"We need you two to carry this decoy treasure chest that will hold Candace and Perry inside it. You must deliver it in front of the castle steps and make sure that they do not open it until the chest is in the castle, so that Candace and Perry can get out and venture into the castle. Buford and Baljeet, you are taking the Teleport T.V and doing the same as Gretchen and Adyson, making sure it gets into the castle. If done correctly, we will be able to get through all the defenses and into the castle and finally seek vengeance for all our suffering!" Isabella explained, her fists clenched at the last part. Candace, still knowing she was undercover as a princess the rebels were not fond of, tried to cool Isabella down.

"Well I wouldn't call it suffering... probably misguidance or... you know, something not as strong as vengeance?" Candace offered feebly. The rebels looked at her confused besides Buford who replied roughly,

"I think you should quit whining and get into the chest. You are with our leader, the person that is the glue that holds everyone together and gives us our plans." Sounds like he doesn't trust me... Candace thought glumly. So Isabella and Phineas brought out a large and very old-looking chest. It had cobwebs and dust in it and on the outside a bit too. It looked like it would BARELY fit Candace and Perry which was both a good thing and a bad thing. But overall Candace was not pleased.

"Why is it all dusty and filthy-looking? Isn't the point of a treasure chest to look as extravagant as the treasure it holds?" She groaned.

"Well technically, treasure chests are usually hidden for so long that they do get dusty and take on an ancient appearance." Adyson responded. Candace, not knowing what to think of Adyson in this situation, just nodded blindly and took a deep breath and was about to enter the chest when the Narrator whispered something in her ear,

"You are closer than ever to the special object. This special object holds a lot of vital information, information that will definitely help you learn more about Perry, but it's a terrible mix of easy to decipher and difficult to decipher. I doubt you will understand it once you first look at it but if you continue to try to uncover the truth, even the erased truths can be brought back to reality."

"That sounds like something a philosopher would say." Candace said. Although in her head, she was trying to uncover what riddles he just told her now. It was something that was easy and terrible to uncover, and it was an 'erased truth'. Maybe it's something I've forgotten, something that happened to me when I was very young? Also what kind of information is it? I'm betting it has something to do with his birthparents, THAT would be cool. Still, Candace would never get anymore clues if she didn't find the object, so she went into the chest and Perry hopped in after her. Tragically, the chest WAS cramped and so Perry was on top of Candace's stomach while Candace was lying down on her back. Candace groaned and put one of her legs over her other leg's knee in a pose that could be seen as feminine but was also seen as lazy or bored, which was what Candace's intention was. Just then, as the chest lid closed over the two, and made the inside of the chest very dim. A sound rang out. DING!

"What was that? Was that the musical chime thingy? You mean I have to sing another song? But... I am in a CHEST! You want me to sing in a treasure chest?" Candace asked, already regretting this plan. Perry chattered something but he was looking up at the lid and Isabella didn't reply to this chatter. She, Phineas, and Ferb were getting ready to enter the T.V. So Candace just assumed he was responding to the chime noise, or maybe even giving directions to them and they were testing to see if Candace could be quiet or something. The Narrator appeared in the box, via teleporting magic, and replied,

"Sorry Candace, but don't worry, it'll be a song celebrating all your positive qualities or at least show how much the rebels care about you. Isn't that wonderful?" Candace smiled, that did sound right. It also sounded perfect for the mature adult that she was (or at least thought she was). Plus hearing people sing about her was something she always liked, no matter if it was a birthday song in a dream or even a song just for her heading out on a date. So the music started up and Candace smiled and spoke in a proud tone,

"Ok, I'm ready." The music was retro, catchy, and upbeat, perfect for a song devoted to Candace. The Narrator teleported out of the box again and soon the plan began to unfold as the song started up.

Phineas: Once we were so desperately, looking for a path (Phineas, Isabella, and Ferb enter the Teleport T.V.)

Trying our very best, to make up for this aftermath (The inside of the T.V is reminiscent of a Broadway stage with a curtain, props scattered about, and an audience in the front. There are two portals both a bold orange, like that of Candace's hair color, one on stage left and the other on stage right where the heroes came through. Both have signs over them indicating where the portals lead to. The portal that Phineas and the others came out of has "Rebel Headquarters" over it while the other one has "Rebel Headquarters" over it indicating that both T.V's are still at the base)

But then you came, and brought with you, an imaginative mind (As Ferb looks around in amazement, Isabella clings to Phineas and they both look at the sign above the stage left portal closely)

Candace thanks for your help, we are no longer blind (The sign changes to "Castle Path" and Phineas and Isabella smile)

Phineas and Candace: Cause Candace rocks! (The scene changes to Candace and Perry as Candace sings her part though is still looking a bit upset at her position)

Phineas: She is like the sun rising in the sky-y (The scene shifts to Ferb looking at Phineas and Isabella and shrugging his shoulders at the strange poetry that Phineas is saying)

Phineas and Candace: Cause Candace rocks! (The scene changes back again to Candace and Perry and Candace's vocal turns into more of a scream when the chest is set down quite suddenly. Perry and Candace look at one another in confusion at this disturbance.)

Phineas: She's a mourning cloak butterfly-y (The scene shows Gretchen, Adyson, Buford, and Baljeet have run into a Norm-Bot and so they have set down the Teleport T.V and the chest containing Perry and Candace and have their fists clenched and look ready to fight)

Phineas: Candace, we'll be there for you-u, so we hope you stay with us, because you roooooo-oooo-ooooock! (In a quick action sequence, Buford and Baljeet strike the legs with great force, though Baljeet cringes in pain as the texture of the Norm-Bot REALLY hurts his hand, and Adyson and Gretchen knock the Norm-Bot over with two firm kicks to the stomach, knocking it down and shutting it off)

Phineas: And we promise not to make a fuss (Buford gives a hi-five to the same hand that Baljeet punched the Norm-Bot with and is currently holding and blowing on it causing Baljeet to cringe in pain and faint)

Chorus: Ooh-ooh-ooh

Phineas and Candace: No I ain't lying (In the chest Candace is sulking with Perry meditating on her stomach but then the chest is lifted up again and Candace smiles and Perry opens one eye at Candace)

Phineas and Candace: Never make a fuss!

Phineas: Candace,

Phineas, Candace, and Chorus: NO, NO, NOOOOOOOO! (Buford hoists Baljeet over his shoulder with the T.V pulled to his chest with his other arm while Gretchen and Adyson take the chest and they continue on their path)

Ferb: Living like a rebel leads you to focus on one plan, but when faced with limits we just bolted and ran, ran, (Ferb watches the portal's epitaph change to "Castle Gate's" and watches Isabella curiously as she leans against Phineas warmly)

Isabella: Originally our plans were severely cold, but now we've felt the fire, and these rebels are growing bold! (Isabella smiles and steps forward a few steps before making a dramatic spin and leaping towards Phineas where Phineas catches her in his arms like a fair maiden and Isabella tugs at the neck of his sleeve as she delivers the last passionate verse.)

Isabella and Ferb: Cause Candace rocks! (Isabella and Ferb put their hands in the air in an act of team spirit)

Ferb: She is like the golden ratio-o

Isabella and Ferb: Cause Candace rocks!

Isabella: She's a trendy song on the radio-o (Buford and the other rebels arrive at the castle gate where Baljeet falls off Buford's shoulder and to the ground, still out cold and Gretchen and Adyson hold the chest anxiously as the Norm-Bots at the gate approach and see the T.V and chest that they brought)

Ferb and Isabella: Candace, we'll be there for you-u, so we hope you stay with us, because you roooooo-oooo-ooooock!

Ferb: So honey, never make a fuss, no-oooooo! (To everyone's joy in the T.V world the portal transforms into the "Castle Interior" showing that the group managed to convince the Norm-Bots to accept their Trojan gifts and have managed to get in. Chorus continues to sing "Ooh, Ooh, Ooh".)

Ferb and Isabella: Victory's near, never make a fuss!

Ferb and Isabella: NO, NO, NOOOOOO! (Isabella and Phineas hold hands and they and Ferb run towards the portal and stop right in front of it and look at one another and nod, feeling confident and sure and clench their fists and get ready to leap in)

Phineas: If Candace is in danger, I'll feel like a stranger (The rebels, including a revived Baljeet are walking alongside the Norm-Bots as they enter the main hall, that holds three other hallways that lead into different parts of the castle, while still holding onto the Teleport T.V and the chest)

Candace: It is cramped up in here, I really feel like I'll shed a tear (In the chest Candace is clearly annoyed and looks at Perry, who's laying on top of her, before pushing against the chest)

Ferb: This time I'm sure of it, we'll no longer have to siiiiit.

Isabella: The time has come, it's time to fight, to see the morning li-iiiight!

Ferb and Isabella: The future's looking bright!

Phineas: It's time to bring back what's right! (Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella enter the portal ready to fight against Alchemist Heinz)

Candace: I demand a re-WRITE!

All except Candace and Perry: Candace rocks! (As Candace grumpily belts out her verse Perry tries to stroke her face in a flirtatious manner with a flirtatious expression to go with it but Candace smacks his hand away after she's done. Not out of frustration with him but more frustrated at having to still be stuck in the chest.)

Phineas: She's a sunset in paradi-ise

All except Perry and Candace: Candace ro-oooocks! (Phineas emerges from the Teleport T.V with Isabella and Ferb and Phineas does an impressive flying kick that knocks down one of the Norm-Bots. Meanwhile, Candace tries to emerge from the chest but bonks her head causing her to exclaim "OUCH!"

Ferb: She's the Northern Lights above the I-ice

All except Perry and Candace: Candace rocks! (Perry lifts the chest lid open and leaps out and whams a nearby Norm-Bot with his tail and Buford follows up his attack with a fearsome punch to the Norm-Bot)

Isabella: She's a Broadway play that's reached its bo-ow!

All except Perry and Candace: Candace ro-oooocks! (Isabella, Adyson, and Gretchen take down one whole Norm-Bot by leaping on it and making it plummet and crash with their combined weight)

Candace: W-what was the special thing called again - OW! (Candace emerges from the chest very dizzy from bonking her head on it and she mumbles her lines instead of singing them. She then loses her balance and trips over the inside of the chest and falls out of it onto the ground)

All except Perry: Like a diamond in the rou-ugh! (Perry offers a hand to Candace who takes it and gets back on her feet and who looks relieved to be out of the chest)

All except Perry: A Greek pillar always tou-ugh! (Candace watches the rest of the rebels disassemble the robots and deactivate them)

All except Perry: Like a sundae with its cherry!

All except Perry: Like 'oh there you are Perry!' (All the rebels point at Perry who blushes at the attention and Candace chuckles remembering that famous line that she and her friends always say)

All except Perry: Darling, we'll bring back the cookies, that everybody had, because we roooooo-oooo-ooooock! ! (Candace places her arm out and everyone joins in baseball-style and gets ready for a cheer)

Isabella and Ferb: We'll calculate the su-um! (Isabella, Ferb, and Perry look at one another)

All except Perry: We roooooo-oooo-ooooock! (Camera view shows everyone in a circle with their arms all gathered in the middle)

Candace and Phineas: City of love, here we come! (Phineas and Candace look at one another)

All except Perry: We roooooo-ooooo-ock! So darling you had best believe us, cause Candace and the rebels ROCK! (The group throws their arms into the air as they complete their cheer and finish the song)

"Wow, that was so... so... empowering! To know that the rebels sang a song about me, ok, mostly about me is just really inspiring. I feel like I can tackle anything! Bad to the bone Alchemist Heinz? Bring it! Busting my brothers? With pleasure! Face an army of squirrels?" But then Candace gulped at that last bold statement she said as her cheerful monologue was cut short. She finished with,

"Ok, maybe not tackle ALL things. Squirrels still freak me out. Hey, where did all of you rebels go?" As she was talking about her new confidence, the rebels had discussed strategies and had split up leaving Candace alone in the room with only trashed robots, a chest, and the Teleport T.V. Candace was bit miffed.

"Wait, did they just leave me here? Even my Mysterious Lover? But... oh never mind. It'd be pointless to complain when "they" are not even here to hear it." She groaned and sat on the floor. She had to admit that being in a chest and practically becoming a stowaway was not a very pleasurable experience. I bet if I hadn't been in the box and actually fought the Norm-Bots I would've been in less pain than I am now, she thought. But then she heard a sound that made her relieved. The voice of the Narrator.

"Well don't worry, it's part of the story. The rebels split up and you go off and-"

"Wait, split up?! That's like the worst plan in the history of plans! Sun Tzu would faint if he had heard that the rebels did that. I mean when people split up they really just leave themselves vulnerable to attack and isolated. Now if they stick together however, then they could cover their weaknesses on all sides!" Candace ranted. She had seen many movies with Stacy where people split up and either got captured, got lost, or in some cases lost their lives. I mean it was a great way to investigate and explore but Candace believed a single, large group would do the trick better. The Narrator didn't respond to Candace's complaint and instead mentioned,

"But this is your chance to finally find it." Candace's interest perked up and she got up on her knees and looked at the Narrator.

"Find what? A life?" The Narrator paused a bit as though in perplexity. But he shook himself as though in disagreement and said,

"The special object." Candace got up and with a doubtful look claimed,

"I am beginning to think that this 'special object' is just an excuse for me to go along with all this. I mean, who would want to be stuck in a chest with a platypus?" The Narrator sighed. Candace could be very exasperating. She could go on and on about a certain subject out of frustration or maybe naivety. Although in some cases it was quite funny and it was understandable that being in a confined space like a chest and with limited maneuverability it could be quite uncomfortable so it was no surprise that Candace was complaining. But the Narrator was impressed that Candace wasn't quitting. She definitely had her heart set on completing the story and he would not let her down. It was time to give her the one thing that would probably make her glad that she had changed the universe. By changing the universe, she had been able to defy the laws of fate and so she now had a chance to change her fate. This special object would provide the clue.

"Oh no, it exists Candace, and it is time to help you find it. But first follow me." The Narrator commanded and flew towards the north hallway that the main hall had. Candace looked at the Teleport T.V and then faced the Narrator again.

"But shouldn't someone protect the T.V? It is our escape clause."

"I'll come back for it after you retrieve the special object." The Narrator replied. So with her questions answered, mostly, Candace followed the Narrator. The halls were as dreary and dull as ever. Surprisingly in the seven week recap of a song, the Narrator had yet to makeover anything in the castle. Although the rooms might've been changed, Candace had yet to look. She frowned, she forgot to come up with walkie talkies so she could maintain contact with everyone. She was worried about Isabella and Perry the most. Finally the Narrator stopped in front of a blank wall in the hall. Candace looked stupefied.

"Uh, this is just a wall. Where's the room?"

"Candace, knock on the wall six times. Then wait a few moments and then knock on it four more times." The Narrator told her as though giving instructions. Candace wanted to object but then concluded that the Narrator knew more about this story than she ever did and would. She was also exhausted. Singing, moving, being carried in chests, flirting, and escaping, she had been doing stuff all day without any sort of rest. If she wanted this story done faster, she would have to follow all of his instructions like a loyal dog to his master. So Candace knocked on the wall six times, it producing a mild echo. Then she waited a few seconds before knocking on the recommended four times. Just then in a mystical manner, a blue light emerged from the top of the hall before splitting into two different lights that went across the wall and then down to form a perfect door on the wall. Candace stepped back in alarm and in amazement, this was witchcraft! Or at the very least some very fancy fairy magic. Then from within the outline of light, the image of a tangible blue door appeared.

"This is the secret technique of the Fireside Princess and her royal family. They can summon the secret room which holds the object most valuable to them by knocking out the letters "S-E-C-R-E-T" and then "R-O-O-M". This is where you'll find the special object." The Narrator explained. Candace was very impressed, no castle was complete without a secret room. Plus the fact it could "summoned" was also very cool. She also had to admit that the Narrator was a really useful... well book spirit thingy.

"Thank you Narrator. I am ready, I am ready to find our special object." Candace declared. So she put her hand on the knob, which felt cold to the touch and not like a normal doorknob for it felt solid but smooth, like a seashell. So she opened the door and peered inside. She was instantly amazed. The room was pure white but there were obelisks and fancy columns adorned with roses and other floral elements inside the room and Greek-style pillars. Also noticeable was that on either side of the wall were blank painting canvases that were framed and hung up but nothing appeared to be on them. There were also glass containers on stone blocks, like in a museum, that had stuff in them. Very familiar stuff...

"Gasp! That's my collector Ducky Momo plate that I bought at that convention... and broke. GASP! That's my crown from when I was crowned queen of the backyard beach! Sigh... if only I had paid more attention I could've busted Phineas and Ferb big-time! Ooh! That's my letter I wrote to the Betty's! That was SO much fun!" Candace practically checked off the lists of familiar things that she saw in the cases. There were clothes and objects and toys and all sorts of things she had found, made, and discovered over the course of the summer.

"Yes Candace, this is a room that houses all things precious to the current ruler, things that contain special memories, special attributes, or are dear to the ruler's heart. But there's one special surprise in here... well a few actually. One is the magic that this room possesses, once inside, no one can harm you from the outside cause the room hides itself away until it is safe. Second, there's the special object at the very end of this room. That is what you must find. Also..." As the Narrator told Candace more about the Secret Room, the all-too familiar musical chime played. Candace's expression immediately became more peeved.

"UH, HELLO?! I just SANG a song, why do I have to do another one at a time like this?!" She demanded angrily.

"Don't worry, this song is actually the princess's biggest solo song, or at least considered to be the biggest solo song in Isabella's mind, but fans have different views of course. So it'll be your crowning moment as a singer. Then again... if you can't handle singing such a BIG solo song then-"

"Step aside Narrator, this prima donna is ready to sing her climax!" The subliminal convincing from the Narrator worked perfectly and Candace was ready to sing and so she cleared her throat and even did a little "Mi mi mi mi mi" to warm-up. A very soft ballad started and the song began as Candace headed further into the room and investigated.

Candace: I'm Wide Awake (The blank canvases suddenly flash with a shining flash of white light and paintings, that look more like screen-shots, appear on the canvases. Candace is amazed and happy to see that the paintings look very familiar)

I'm Wide Awake (Candace starts her descent down the room as she passes several cases that hold objects from her past)

I'm Wide Awake, A simple accident, caused a painful dent, in my descent (Candace looks to the left and sees a painting of her first appearance, where she had a cynical expression to Phineas and Ferb doing "homework" and then looks to the right where she sees herself with a terrified expression, holding a sandwich during the filming of 'Curse of the Princess Monster')

I'm Wide Awake, I've had to make a solemn vooow (Candace cringes at the unflattering image and continues her walk down the hall)

I'm Wide Awake, I've had to play the part, with all my heart, of a princess smart (Candace passes by more paintings and the camera reveals them to be Mount Candace, the gift her brothers made for her birthday, and the other shows her and Stacy in the Tree-Bot with their controllers)

I'm Wide Awake, I should've reached the end by nooow (Candace smiles at both images and spins around gracefully)

But I've finally found, my treasure's still sound, will tell me bout' Perry, ok that's kind of scary (Candace continues down and sees a picture of her and Stacy performing with the Betty's and says the fourth part of her line rather than sings it)

Defying gravity, I've stayed discreet, the pressure is on, on, for the princess (Candace turns around and spots a picture of her petting Perry after Mom's birthday party and Candace actually looks quite surprised at this)

Rising to Cloud Niiiiiiiiiiine! (The Narrator flies by Candace and further into the room leading Candace to watch him before another painting catches her eye)

Over the rainbooooooooooooowwww! (Candace sees a painting of her, Jeremy, Phineas, and Ferb under a shining light from the heavens and Phineas and Ferb are holding power tools. Candace is confused, as she has no memory of this scene occurring.)

I'm letting go toooniiiiiiiiight! (Candace runs over to the painting and sings deeply into it as though it is alive and as she finishes the high note, a familiar blue hand taps her shoulder)

Yeah I'm rising to Cloud Niiiiiiiiiiine! (Candace turns around surprised but sees the Narrator and behind him lies a painting of her hugging Phineas after saving him from falling into the river while pursuing a disc)

I'm Wide Awake, flirting with my pet, conditions met, I made a mental bet, (Candace continues and looks at a painting of her eating at Chez Platypus with Jeremy and then looks to her right and her mouth opens in shock)

I'm Wide Awake, that my feelings were trueeeee-ueeeeee (Candace sees a picture of her dressed as Perry when she was trying to mother an egg she thought was Perry's)

I'm Wide Awake, he's not my kind of cute, but he's not a brute, he's like precious loot, (Candace runs by paintings of her with the baseball gun about to fight to free Meap and of her in her summer cotillion dress smiling at Jeremy who's just arrived)

Oh my gosh, (Candace stops and leans against a wall that showcases a painting of her after winning the boys vs. girl game and with her hair styled)

I think I'm coming down with a fluuuuuu (Candace sinks to the ground and sits down in surprise as she contemplates how her relationship with Perry was changed by the story)

I wish I knew then, what I know now, (Candace gets up and rushes further down the room with the Narrator flying overhead and we see paintings of her participating in the quiz show to impress her brothers, of her after Perry appeared after she finished singing the song to bring Perry back, of her as a Fireside Girl finding something that doesn't exist, and of her as a bridesmaid)

Would've been sweet, feelings more discreet, gravity strikes, yet again, and it brought me back, back, to reality. (Candace stops dramatically in front of a painting of her, Stacy, and Jenny as the Phineas and Ferb Busters and sings her strong notes)

Rising to Cloud Niiiiiiiiiiine! It was part of your world (Candace turns around to see the painting of both distinct sides of her personality singing together which actually leads Candace to raise an eyebrow before shrugging her shoulders and walking on)

Over the rainbooooooooooooowwww! (Candace realizes there's four more paintings before she reaches the end of the room)

I'm letting go toooniiiiiiiiight! I finally found it (Candace looks to the left side to see two paintings, one of her getting the approval of Jeremy's family for bringing back Annabelle and the other of her on a flowery hilltop after she "gave up")

I'm rising to Cloud Niiiiiiiiiiine! (On the right side are paintings of her winning Skiddley Whiffers after they played it again and one of her in her head with Phineas, Ferb, and Buford and then Candace turns to face the end of the room)

I'm Wide Awake, drums are rumbling, castles, not really crumbling (As Candace sings, the camera shows the painting of her future self and then to that of her kissing Jeremy after the around the world trip. Candace also says instead of sings "Not really crumbling")

I'm Wide Awake, I am trying for a happy enddddddd! (The camera then shows Candace with the monkeys after being bonding with them as they watch the sunset)

I'm Wide Awake, something is in my sights (The camera turns to Candace looking down at something in a glass case)

Will cause many ponderous nights (The camera shows... a white camera in a glass case. It looks modern-day and useful)

I'll figure it out somehowwwwwwwwwwww (As the music continues Candace lifts the glass case from the display and after contemplating it for a few seconds, takes the camera off the stand)

Yeahhhh IIII'm rising to Cloud Niiiiiiiiiiine! It was part of your world (Suddenly all the other glass cases break, creating an echo of shatters though the glass dissolves into light and causes no harm to Candace)

Over the rainbooooooooooooowwww (Candace turns around to see this but then hears a all too familiar chatter and then turns around again)

You know I'm letting go toni-i-ightttt! I finally found it (On the pedestal where the camera was is Perry the Platypus formed out of light, created by the magic of the room and he is smiling as though relieved)

I'm rising to Cloud Niiiiiiiiiiine! (Candace looks at the Perry of light stunned and looks at the camera that she has in her hand and then back to the Perry of light)

I'm Wide Awake (The Perry of light offers a hand to Candace with a very happy closed-eye smile)

I'm Wide Awake (Candace takes it and shakes hands with the Perry of light)

I'm Wide Awake (The Perry of light then transforms into butterflies of light that fly around the room in an enchanting fashion)

I'm Wide Awake (The butterflies then flicker away into nothingness as Candace watches with pride)

I'm Wide Awake (Candace nods her head once and walks back to the entrance door of the secret room, followed by the Narrator)

I'm Wide Awake

"Narrator..."

"Yes Candace?"

"I have a feeling... that my mistake was a miracle in disguise." Candace said smiling as she put the camera in the pocket of her skirt, making a mental promise not to lose it no matter what would happen next in the story. There was something about this camera that Perry was relieved someone had found it. She would find what it was as soon as she got back to the real world... and after a day of rest.

Ok... so... OMG, I took so long with this chapter, sorry about that! I think I did need a bit of a break from writing though but now I am back again ^_^. Still, you are really sweet to put up with my... periods of writing pauses and continue to read my stories. To make up for that, this chapter has not one, but two songs (Which is probably another reason it took so long Xb)! The first song is based on "Without Love" from Hairspray, one of Moi's FAVORITE musicals XD. The song did take place with the couples from Hairspray taking Tracy and Penny out of house arrest basically and to... I guess to a sanctuary XD. Anyways I felt this song fit the rebels singing about how their relationship/plan is going as they are heading from the rebel base to the castle. I did cut a bit at the end though to shorten it a bit more. The second song is based on "Wide Awake" by, of course, Katy Perry. Recently I learned the song is believed to contain Illuminati symbolism but I don't really know much about that at all and I honestly think it is about what Katy has envisioned it as. Besides the music video is very Harry Potter meets Alice in Wonderland meets Snow White meets EPIC XD. It's my favorite Katy Perry song to boot as well ^_^. So I thought that the idea of the song too could work for Candace discovering this room, contemplating how she's changed, and how she's realized how important this story and the object are to her. So hopefully it worked out ok ^_^. Also... where have we seen a white camera featured in Phineas and Ferb before as an important object to Perry? :) So Candace has accomplished the first part of her storybook mission but will a twist of fate lead to a mission failure? Will the rebels succeed or will Alchemist Heinz prove too powerful to overthrow? Find out in chapter 7! ^_^ As usual I take no ownership of the material used and all copyright rights belong respectfully and eloquently to Disney and Phineas and Ferb. ARIGATOOOOOOO! XD
