Playing with Fireside.
Chapter 7: Ferb Tower
If you've been impatient with my updates, feel free to visit my page on deviantart. Its also called Animegx43.
A few days after the events at the principle's office, Phineas and Ferb have manage to survive their first week of school. It is now Saturday, which means they are free to spend the day building things like they normally do in the summer, and after the rough week the boys had, they can use the fun. They are now making up some plans for the day in the backyard.
"Ahh, the weekends. I completely forgot they were free days." Phineas says. "And now, we are free to do what any other kid does on a Saturday!"
"Forget everything we learned this week and mindlessly play video games all day long?" Ferb asks.
"Nah, let's save that for tomorrow. I've been itching to build something all week, since we technically didn't build those bumper cars that one day. Now we just need to think of something to make. Any ideas?"
As the boys try to think of something to build for the day, a guest enters the backyard to see them. It's their new 'best' friend, the Fireside Girl troopleader, Isabella.
"Hello boys. Wha'cha doin?" Isabella asks.
"OH! Isabella! It's nice to finally have you come over to our house! Feels like you should've done it much earlier." Phineas says.
"Yeah, well what can you do. Anyway, like I said, wha'cha doin?"
"Well, we've actually been trying to decide on what we should do. Any ideas?"
Isabella becomes pleased by the fact that Phineas is open for suggestions, for it's going to make things very convenient for her. Without letting Phineas or Ferb see, she pulls out a slip of paper and tries to read it without taking it all the way out.
"How about you make..." She says as she tries to read the paper. "...a drop tower!"
"A drop tower? You mean one of those rides where you go up and up and up, then slam into the ground?"
"Uh, yeah, I think that's it."
"Hmm...how about...we build the world's tallest and fasting drop tower then! It can move 100 miles an hour, rise up to the clouds, and we can even call it Ferb tower! Ferb, I know what we're going to do today! Isabella, we may need your girl's help."
With Phineas and Ferb agreeing to help, Isabella becomes more and more satisfied by the deal she made with them.
After some delivery trucks and other Fireside Girls arrive, construction for Ferb Tower is on its way. As construction begins, Candace Flynn starts watching her brothers build with the Fireside Girl's help, and she is not happy.
"Look at this. I get a good chance to bust my brothers, and yet I actually have to help them. If I have to give up this chance, I hope it won't make me keep trying to bust them for more then 2 more years."
With the Fireside Girls taking action, Candace does the same. Taking out her cellphone,she gives a call to her best friend, Stacy.
"Stace, the Fireside brats are at my house."
"GAHH!" Stacy screams on the other side, followed by silence.
"Stacy, stop hiding under your bed and get over here."
"How did you know?"
Over time, the drop tower grows taller and taller, but is still being built. With Phineas's leader ship, Ferb's skills, and the assistance from the Fireside Girls, everything is going smoothly and according to schedule. While progress is being made, Isabella takes a step outside of the yard, takes out a cellphone,and makes a call.
"Hello? This is Isabella Garcia-Shapiro! I'm just letting you know that it's going to be ready in about an hour."
"Hey Isabella! Get over here! We're done." Phineas shouts.
"Actually, just come by at any time." Isabella says into the phone.
After hanging up, Isabella runs back into the backyard to take a look at Ferb Tower. She finds herself impressed by the results. Built from the ground up, the tower has reached higher then 500 feet. As Isabella looks at the highest point, she sees a bird flying towards it, only to hit the structure and plummet to the ground.
"Alright girls! Who wants a ride?" Phineas asks.
All being impressed by the end results, each of the Fireside Girls raise their hands, wanting a chance to get on the ride. While the kids all jump onto the ride, strap themselves in, and let it bring them up into the air, Candace and Stacy, who are both inside the house now, have been spying on the younger kids.
"Maybe I can just bust my brothers and stop the Fireside Girls that way?" Candace suggests.
"Candace, I thought you wanted to help your brothers?" Stacy says.
"Oh, alright!" Candace says as she stares back out the window. "It looks just like a normal day for Phineas and Ferb. Other then that they've done it rather fast, I can't see them doing anything overly bad."
"You haven't seen them in action yet. They're up to something, and whatever it is, it's big. In fact, since it's Phineas and Ferb, they'll have a chance to do something bigger then anything they've ever done! We just have to be patient and...hey, what's that sound?"
Arriving at the outside at the front of the house comes a large flatbed truck, something that Candace and Stacy can har from the bedroom. They don't put much thought into however and resume spying on the other kids. However, as Isabella goes up higher and higher on Ferb Tower, not to mention the seat she's sitting in, she notices the truck out in front.
"Perfect. They've arrived right on-" Then, after reaching the peak, the ride drops right back down. "TIIIIIIIIMMMMEEEE!"
A few minutes later, after the tower drops, then raises, then drops again, everyone who's been on the ride begin to feel the full effects of the ride, which includes a combination of nausea and adrenaline. Everyone loved the ride and would go back on again if they could, if only no one was sick from the first time.
"I bet our Mom made snacks by now! Who wants some?"
Being the most sick, Adyson charges over to the bushes and throws up, not being in any mood to eat anything. In anycase, the girls follow Phineas and Ferb back inside to take a rest after the ride. The only exception to this, however, is Isabella. She sneaks to around the house and into the front the front yard, then calls the truckers who're at the front to come to the back.
"This here is what you've came for." Isabella says.
"Dang, that thing is huge! I was told I'd be lugging something big, but that thing is rediculous!" The one trucker says.
"Can you still do it?"
"Of course! I've brought stuff over here before, and I can easily take things away."
"Great. And if you wouldn't mind, could you bring me along? I still have some unfinished business."
Through a difficult, yet interesting process, Isabella and the two trucker manage to take Ferb Tower and move it out onto the front yard, then load it up onto the flatbed. Candace and Stacy themselves see them go through it all and they don't even know how to describe what they just saw.
"This is actually the first time I've ever seen my brother's invention go away right in front of me." Candace says.
"Quick! Let's follow them!" Stacy says.
While Candace and Stacy make a dash out of the room to catch up to Isabella, Phineas walks back outside to discover that Ferb Tower has mysteriously disappeared. Confused, yet unfazed, he goes back into the house and says...
"Ferb! It happened again!"
As the flatbed moves slowly and carefully to its destination, Candace and Stacy closely follows it on their bikes. The girls eventually follow the truck into an amusement park, which would make sense, since the truck is in fact carrying a ride.
The truck makes its final start, where Isabella jumps out to be greeted by the man in charge of the place. Nearby, Candace and Stacy hide behind the truck to listen into what is happening.
"So what do you say?" Isabella asks. "Did I keep a promise or what?"
"Oh you sure kept your promise, little girl!" The man says. "When I asked for a drop tower, I did not expect to see one in a day. Not to mention the biggest one my eyes have ever seen!"
"And for the right price, it will be yours." Isabella says as she begins to rub her finger and thumb together.
"Can you at least tell me where you got this thing?"
"I could." She says. "But I would have to double the price."
"Oh, alright!" The man says. He then takes out a chequebook, writes one up, and gives it to Isabella. "I believe this is what we agreed on."
"Thank you for your business."
Feeling proud for making her sale, Isabella puts the cheque into her pocket, then begins to walk away with a smug smile. There's no telling how much money she's just made thanks to Phineas and Ferb. Realizing this, Candace grabs Isabella by the shirt as soon as she walks by, then holds her up to the air. This is something Izzy did not expect.
"How DARE you make money off of my brothers!" Candace yells. "They built an amazing contraption and you pawn it off? Have you no shame?"
Although suprised at first, the Fireside Girl is ultimately unfazed by Candace's anger. She then notices that Stacy is right behind Candace.
"Stacy, tell her to let go of me, and I'll have Ginger not bother you at all this weekend."
Happy to be given the offer..."Candace, PLEASE let her go! I need this time off BAD!"
"What? But we can't just let her-"
"Candace, trust me! Whatever we do right now, we'll just make things harder for us later. Especially me!"
Although unhappy by what she has to do, Candace eventually chooses to listen to Stacy and puts Isabella back onto the ground. This is a really hard thing for Candace to do. She may not be able to tolerate her brother's actions, but it still sickens her to her stomach to see a person take advantage of them like this. Even worse, she has to let Isabella do it.
"Oh, so your Phineas and Ferb's sister? Well Missy, let me tell you something. The Fireside Girls practically run Danville! Everything we want, we get. In due time, you will know that as well."
Having nothing left to say to Candace, Isabella begins to skip her way back home, excited to tell her troop about the success of their sale. Stacy remains horrified by what her troops will do next, but Candace remains angry.
"That's it! I'm going to stop busting my brothers for awhile. One way or another, I'm busting those Fireside Girls! Stacy, are you with me!"
"No. No I'm not!" Stacy says as she tries to run away, only to be grabbed and pulled back by Candace.
"Yes...you...are!"
Finally done!
I did not expect this chapter to be as long as it is. Oh well, why compain about a good thing.
So Isabella has started to sell off Phineas and Ferb's inventions. Damn, I'm making her evil. I'm surprised no one has complained about how out of character I've made her. It's almost like you all are remembering that this is a prequel story.
I've also managed to get Candace more involved in the story, which I'm glad is being done as well as it is. Hope I can keep that up.
Now I know that I already said this at the top of the page, but I've also been drawing things on deviantart, which is part of the reason my story hasn't been updated as frequently as I'd like it too. Feel free to visit it if you'd like.
That's all I have to say for now. Ciao.
