Writer's Blockade Part 7
By Lolitafreak88
So Candace and the Narrator departed the Secret Room. To Candace's surprise the door faded into nothingness much like the butterflies of light. So the Secret Room was no more, but Candace knew that if she needed it again she could summon it at anytime. Candace pondered about the camera a bit more and also what had happened in that room. I hope it doesn't mean that Perry secretly has feelings for me, she gulped. Then again the Perry of light did offer her a handshake and not... anything else. Candace then remembered the rebels and the Teleport T.V. Quickly, she gave the Narrator her orders,
"Mr. Narrator, I totally forgot about the Teleport T.V. You said you would watch it right? Head there right away. I'll be fine on my own, I have a ancestral spell up my sleeve if I need to hide." To her surprise, the Narrator didn't question her one bit and nodded 'itself' in agreement. But he did say,
"Good luck Fireside Princess, you have grown but there's still a giant trial in the form of Alchemist Heinz that you must face. Be safe." He then teleported away. Candace, feeling independent for the first time since she was forced into that stupid chest, decided to look for the rebels. She knew she couldn't tell them of the camera, and she absolutely COULD NOT afford for the villains to know about it either so she would keep it secret. With this in mind, she ran down the hall and started looking for the rebels. The memory of where everything was in the castle was still hazy on Candace. I knew I should've paid attention to those old guys when they were giving me that tour, Candace thought biting her lip. She then stopped as she heard footsteps approaching her from the left side of the hall and sure enough she saw a shadow. Candace instinctively hid behind a wall and peeked from the side to see who it was. She knew it was either a rebel or a Norm-Bot. Fortunately, it was someone better! It was Stacy! Stacy looked a bit glum and she was dressed differently from how Candace saw her last. She was dressed in a black top, grey pants, black closed-toe shoes, and a lab coat. It was like that old pharmacist trend that had sprouted up when Candace was trying to be a Gaston Le Mode model. So it appeared that it had made a comeback when Alchemist Heinz took over the kingdom. Poor Stacy, dressed like she's going to work, I got to help her.
"Stacy?! Oh Stace! I've missed you so much!" Candace called to her, revealing herself and running towards Stacy. Stacy looked up and her face switched from glum to a small smile.
"Princess? Oh my! I didn't think you'd ever come back! Have you found a way to reclaim the throne?" Stacy asked. Candace, caught in the excitement, stated happily,
"Sure did! I got the rebels on my side and we've invaded the castle with a master plan that puts the D-Day invasion to shame! Oops... that I wasn't supposed to say." Candace gasped, instinctively covering her mouth with her hands. She was still on a mission and the rebels wouldn't exactly approve of someone blurting out classified information as though it was a rumor. Stacy seemed interested though which made Candace happy that she was believing her.
"So where are they?" Stacy asked, walking to the crossroads of the hall and looking left and right. Candace was slightly puzzled at this. Maybe if Stacy sounded more curious it wouldn't be so... "off". But Stacy sounded more calculating, even in the way she was looking, as though she was hunting something. Candace decided that Stacy might be angry about her imprisonment or maybe she was on the lookout for those annoying minions. Candace was glad her response to this question was honest,
"No clue actually." Stacy turned to face Candace again and Candace remembered something.
"Say where are the other lady-in-waitings?" Even she was beginning to hate Wendy and Mandy less and these were still people sucked into Candace's made-up mistake. So if they were in a bad situation, it was all Candace's fault and so Candace had to take responsibility for it and help them out.
"Alchemist Heinz gave each of us schedules. From 8:42 PM to 6:14 AM, we need to keep watch over the castle in case of intruders." Stacy replied calmly. Candace looked shocked at this.
"Are you kidding me? Why not have the Norm-Bots lookout? You have to get your beauty sleep you know?" She questioned. Stacy closed her eyes and said,
"We just sleep in the day, or whenever Alchemist Heinz doesn't need us to do things for him. The Norm-Bots do lookout in the day though and we can summon them if we need them when se see someone or something suspicious. Alchemist Heinz also requests on us for things he can't have the Norm-Bots do, since robotic hands are much stronger than human hands and less flexible." Candace raised an eyebrow at this explanation.
"Uh, Stace, the thing about sleeping in the day is that... it's the DAY! I mean, the sun is shining bright through the window, how do you stand it?" Candace demanded. But then Stacy grabbed her hand. Candace whimpered a bit, as she had no idea what this meant. Stacy said,
"I know, I hate it. It's time to get rid of Alchemist Heinz once and for all. He's in your room, let's go finish him once and for all. The City of Love is begging to be reborn." Candace was a bit impressed at Stacy's seriousness. She was starting to sound like a rebel herself. Maybe she was a spy for the rebels. Although Isabella and the others never mentioned a spy, Candace thought, remembering that they were DESPERATE to penetrate the fortress. So that couldn't be it...
"Um, maybe we should try to find the other rebels first. If we go all united, it would give us a huge advantage. Remember that this pesky Alchemist somehow has magical powers and the Norm-Bots might be watching over his room..." But Stacy began walking, taking Candace along the hall with her, as though she hadn't heard what Candace said. Candace felt afraid, if the Narrator was with her, he would tell her if this was a good thing or a bad thing. Stacy said she was taking her to the Alchemist but she seemed so relentless... too relentless. It was like something traumatizing had happened to her and so she hardened up her persona. Also why was Stacy going so fast? It was clear she was anxious to get to the Alchemist but for what reason? Before Candace could ask one more question, they were at the room and there were no Norm-Bots. Stacy raised an eyebrow at this but then said,
"Maybe the rebels stirred some activity around here and that's why they're not here. That makes it easier then. After you." Stacy said, quickly unlocking the room and opening the door and gesturing for Candace to enter. Candace looked inside the room and, to her horror, it was completely sealed up. The floor was bare and normally the secret entrance would be revealed as the bed had been moved to a corner of the room but it was gone, sealed up. There was only a bed, and nothing more. It was completely empty and it looked more like a prison than a bedroom. Now Candace was panicked. Stacy WAS in a hurry, she was...
"N-Nooooo!" Candace screamed as Stacy pushed her inside the room and slammed the door roughly behind her and locked it. Candace's eyes widened in horror and she lunged at the door and tried to open it.
"STACE! STACYYYYY! How could you?! Why'd you go over to the dark side?! They have poor fashion sense and their minions are irritating! I'm the Fireside Princess! I represent a generation! AHHHHHHHH!" Candace screamed frantically and banged her fists on the door desperately as the doorknob wouldn't budge. Stacy's reply was calm and also showcased some real frustration,
"A generation that has done NOTHING for this kingdom. At least Alchemist Heinz is doing things now. Give it up clown!" Stacy then walked off in a hurry. Candace didn't know this and, furious at being called a clown, proceeded to shout a monologue at the door.
"How dare you?! You know what, you were my best friend back in the real world and while we did have our conflicts, we would patch them up and you are so loyal to me and always offered advice and help with my problems. But THIS! THIS is a crime against FRIENDSHIP! Also how dare you side with that... wizard! You've tainted the sacred honor of the Fireside monarchy! If I wasn't so kind you'd be fired in an instant! Plus that Alchemist Heinz is nothing but a idiot! I mean if that's the uniform you're meant to wear and if that schedule is true and not just some lie to get me to believe you, then he's abusive! Another thing, I at least was honest with you while you just deceived me! You... you-" As Candace was screaming a flurry of words, the Narrator teleported in huffing as though tired. Then he saw Candace shouting at the door, as Candace was too busy screaming to notice his appearance, and tried to get her attention.
"Candace, I have bad news..."
"...Not talking huh? I bet it's because you know it's true! You should be ashamed of yourself! You are a young lady and I think I now know why your mother thinks you're not very smart! Because you are willing to serve the side of evil and-"
"Candace..." The Narrator floated ever as his second attempt showed some annoyance.
"... At least I have a boyfriend in the real world and you don't! I mean-"
"CANDACE! She isn't at the door anymore!" The Narrator screeched and Candace finally noticed him and turned around. But the Narrator gasped when he saw fresh tears in Candace's eyes. Candace looked devastated and he couldn't blame her. A character in this story that had taken the form of Candace's best friend had betrayed her and locked her up in this cell. But that wasn't even the worst bit of it...
"Candace, thank goodness. I have good news and bad news." The Narrator stated. Candace though, tears falling down her cheek ran over to the Narrator and hugged him tightly, falling to her knees.
"NARRATORRRRRR! I can...can't believe this! My best friend in the whole of Danville be-betrayed me... I'm SICK of this story! How can I stay in a story wh-where best friends betray one another?" She wailed. Of course she was tired and emotional from the whole ordeal and probably a bit hungry and thirsty too and it seemed like Candace finally realized it. The Narrator pitied her greatly but had a duty to perform.
"That's the bad news. You're first impression to the lady-in-waitings placed doubt in them about you. Alchemist Heinz can be very convincing and normally the lady-in-waitings have strong willpower and would not defect to his side but you acted in a unusual manner and so that gave enough doubt in them so that when venomous words were put into their ears, they could be convinced to backstab you. This... has never happened before. You changed the story, but in a bad way." He said grimly. This surprisingly seemed to make Candace calm down and she wiped away her tears. She seemed to understand how that came to be.
"Oh Narrator, I'm worried about Perry and Isabella. Please tell me they don't get killed... please." Candace begged. The Narrator was happy to see Candace still thinking of others. He was also glad that Candace wasn't completely giving up even after being imprisoned and knowing that she had negatively influenced the events of the story. A true ruler cares about her people or at least is willing to put other people's needs before her own. The Narrator was glad to answer her question.
"They are fine at the moment but be warned, they will find out about your betrayal and not in a pleasant way. The good news is that this and your imprisonment are supposed to happen but..." But then the Narrator hesitated for a bit. It was although he wanted to say more but couldn't. Candace, having grown sharper to how the Narrator behaved detected this.
"What is it? Do you have something to say?" She inquired. The Narrator flew over to the bed and rested upon it as though tired. Candace had to admit that was the most casual action he had done this whole time. It actually made Candace feel more comfortable to know that she was still with someone she could actually socialize with and share her thoughts and feelings with. Technologically created beings often didn't have a heart or genuine emotions unless they were from an anime or comic book or, of course, created in Danville. Phineas and Ferb though, their inventions always had heart and were always relatable even if they were just things like roller coasters or a quiz show. They were fun and invited conversation and made the user feel very warm and happy. So Candace was so thankful that her brothers had created the Narrator in a fashion that wasn't robotic but human. And if I want to meet more human inventions, I need my real brothers more than ever. Candace amazed herself sometimes, sure she couldn't build incredible things on a daily basis (It'd not only take up all her time but she would likely be worn out by day four), but she was kind of her own personal motivator when left alone. I mean when I thought Jeremy had dumped me, I didn't wallow in misery, I bonded with monkeys! Candace stood up with renewed determination, all her sadness at Stacy's betrayal gone, and walked over to the Narrator.
"Narrator, if you know anything, please let me know. There's more than just my dignity at stake, there's the dignity of the City of Love AND the Tri-State Area that could be lost. So please share." Her words were dignified yet cheerful, strong yet open, and of course, could only come with someone who understood their situation and was ready to do something about it. The Narrator's cover lifted slightly, as though he was perked up and then he finally leapt and opened his covers, pages flying magically from left to right.
"I do know something, if you made a mistake you can correct it. Alchemist Heinz will cast a spell that will show surveillance of you in this room. If you can take advantage of that opportunity, then even though it'll be from Stacy's mouth that the rebels find out about you being the Fireside Princess, your own words of genuine feelings can still convince the rebels to side with you. I don't like giving spoilers at the best of times but you have consistently grown and now I see you as the true Fireside Princess. While I must admit that trying to achieve a happy ending is harder than ever now, it can still be done!" Candace was quite enchanted by the shot of the Narrator's pages flapping as though the wind was blowing them. It was quite mystifying and inspiring. Candace didn't need to say anything in response. In a very elegant fashion, she nodded her head and sat on the bed. But then she cringed and groaned,
"UGH! It's STILL crunchy," She then laid back on the bed groaning in frustration. Though this made the Narrator chuckle and he reverted to his normal closed book form. He said,
"You are also still the true Candace Flynn too." Meanwhile, in the banquet hall, where that morning (Seven weeks ago), Candace had a big breakfast, Isabella, Gretchen, and Adyson were present. They were looking around for Alchemist Heinz or his bedroom so that they could finish him off once and for all. But their search had been fruitless and they were nervous about the other rebels.
"Isabella, I think we should regroup, I'm sure the whole of the castle has been investigated already." Gretchen stated, setting down a glass she had been examining. Isabella was looking at a mural that was painting on the ceiling. It was a mural of cookies, Fireside Cookies, and cherubs and clouds. It was a very elaborate design but it made Isabella sad. She had adored not just eating Fireside cookies, but also baking them. Getting them to be perfectly delectable, melt-in-your-mouth goodies required such skill and was an art form. Why did that cursed Heinz place a blockade on our cookies? Why didn't the Fireside Princess step in to stop it? Why is it that Phineas has only taken notice of me today? Was it really all because of Candace? Thoughts were rushing through Isabella's mind like a stream but she had heard Gretchen so after a sigh she answered,
"I agree. Let's go." But just at that moment there were footsteps coming down one of the halls that connected the banquet hall to the rest of the castle. Adyson grabbed a fork off the table, Gretchen grabbed a hard iron plate, and Isabella got into a defensive position. They were as attentive as ever and feared it might be more Norm-Bots. They had encountered 2 more on their exploration and they were not easy to defeat. At least here they had a variety of weapons that they could use to defend themselves. The previous encounters they had relied on raw force. But to their relief, in came Phineas, Ferb, Perry, Buford, and Baljeet. The girls expressions and body language softened and Isabella, unable to contain her joy, greeted them,
"Perry! Phineas!" Isabella rushed over and hugged Perry who was only glad to hug Isabella back. They had become life-long friends in their time as rebels and they both were in charge of the rebels and trusted one another with their life. Isabella then proceeded to hug Phineas.
"Hey Isabella, whatcha doing?" Phineas asked happily. Even in the fan-fiction world, Isabella still allowed Phineas to say her trademark catchphrase. Everyone else who used her catchphrase just earned Isabella's scorn, except maybe Perry.
"Well we were looking for Alchemist Heinz or anything that could be of benefit to us but we've got nothing so far... where could his room be? We have the perfect opportunity thanks to Candace but so far we haven't been able to really use it." Isabella repented. But the mention of Candace perked up Perry's attention. So far his relationship with Candace was definitely changing from acquaintances to something a bit more. This random rebel girl had come into the rebels and completely changed everything for the better. It wasn't like a cuckoo coming into a bird's nest and messing everything up, it was more like a miracle. She had helped Isabella and came up with the idea of the Teleport T.V's that brought them here. She was also positive, funny, and... for reasons Perry couldn't quite grasp, radiant in a 50's dress. She was definitely a stand-out in the City of Love and Perry was starting to maybe... REALLY care about her. So knowing that everyone was here except for Candace who was all alone with the Teleport T.V's made him nervous. Candace could easily hide in the T.V if she wanted to but then the T.V could be destroyed and they would be trapped and although Candace would be safe the mission would be a failure and the rebel's would've let Candace down. Perry had seen Candace down in the dumps and did not want to see her down in the dumps again. He chattered hurriedly. Isabella's sharp ear caught this and she responded to what he meant,
"Perry's right, we need to check on Candace! She could be in-"
"Why bother when the Alchemist Heinz can just show her and also the Fireside Princess?" A female voice rang out from the room. It wasn't any of the rebel girls, it was a new voice, a teenager's voice. The rebels armed themselves with more utensils and fighting poses, Perry taking out his baseball bat and turned around to see a teenage girl dressed like a pharmacist and next to her was... Alchemist Heinz. The rebel's blood boiled at the sight of the nefarious fiend. Perry in particular despised him the most, he had caused great strife for all of his friends. His eyes narrowed and he chattered angrily. Isabella nodded and translated before addressing Heinz,
"Indeed he is one Perry. About time we found you Alchemist! Who is that girl who stands beside you? Is she your daughter?" The girl didn't appear miffed in the slightest at the misconception and in fact, she seemed kind of dead. Alchemist Heinz replied with a disturbing menace,
"No, this is my assistant Stacy. My daughter is back in my home-country. I can ask her to come over to watch your beloved rebel base burn to the ground if you want to see her so badly." Perry took off and after a running start, lunged at Alchemist Heinz but Alchemist Heinz's power hadn't changed much in seven weeks. With a snap of his fingers and Perry was petrified in thin air and fell to the ground. Perry was hurt but he couldn't move or react so his position was in that of a mid-air tackling position and he was unable to move a limb. Heinz then shot out his hand at the rest of the rebels and they too were petrified. They could speak and breathe but everything else was immobilized.
"Wh-what is this...?" Buford asked a bit stunned. Alchemist Heinz laughed and said,
"It's called magic! DUH! You rebels are truly idiots! Aren't they Stacy?" He turned to Stacy for her to reply. Stacy's expression grew bold and challenging and she insulted them further,
"Indeed they are. They couldn't even tell that the Fireside Princess was with them this whole time." At this the rebels' eyes widened (Perry and Isabella's the most) and Phineas even gasped. Stacy had basically said 'the Fireside Princess is among your group' and the Fireside Princess was the figure that caused this whole mess. Alchemist Heinz had just made it worse but the Fireside Princess had started it in the first place. To hear that she had escaped imprisonment and had snuck into the rebel ranks was like a slap in the face to all the rebels present. Perry unfortunately had a clear idea of who it was that had burst into his head when he heard Stacy said that. It made perfect sense. She was on her own. She tried to defend the princess. She...
"Who is it?! Tell us who it is if you claim there is a traitor amongst us!" Isabella's words of fury interrupted Perry's thought process. His face grew pitiful, Isabella was such a strong-willed girl with great leadership abilities, she was probably trying to defend the credibility of the rebels when it was all too obvious who it was. Only one new rebel had joined since seven weeks ago. Alchemist Heinz gave a terrible grin, as though he was about to troll them, which he kind of was. But little did he know that Candace knew what would happen next from her room so Alchemist Heinz was actually going to make a fatal mistake.
"How about I show her to you right now? She's locked in her room after all!" He declared with haughtiness. Magical energy appeared in his hand and he shot it like a energy beam above him and it materialized into what appeared to be a television screen. On the screen appeared the interior of the princess's bedroom. In it was Candace, alone, sitting on her bed. But to Stacy's amazement, Candace didn't even look sad or frail or scared. She looked... composed. She looked capable and she looked brave and dignified. She took a deep breath and faced the T.V screen. In truth she was facing the wall but the Narrator informed her that the angle of the Alchemist's magical T.V screen would be that direction so to the rebels, Candace was indeed facing them. Candace then spoke bravely and honorably as though she was collecting her thoughts.
"It's only a matter of time before the rebels find out I was the Fireside Princess. I just wanted to do what was best for my country. I failed to recognize the severity of the blockade and I let Alchemist Heinz walk all over my country even though I would NEVER EVER let someone mess with me or the people I care about. I've learned my mistakes now. The rebels taught me that. Isabella, Perry... you two reminded me of those in my castle. Isabella, you have dreams and hopes and little do you know but you helped envision this story and you are a leader, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Perry... I got to admit that you are by far the most dashing animal I have ever met. I didn't even know you were so strong, so protective, so fearless, I kind of envy you. But not just that, Phineas and Ferb, you have been close to me from the start and... I always admired your abilities and how you displayed them so thoroughly. I hope you'll forgive me, save me, protect me, but this time, I will join the fight. This is the City of Love, not the City of Pharmacists." Candace knew she was taking a risk by making references to the real world versions of Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, and Perry but she felt it worked and that she could not have come up with a better speech. The rebels' faces were a perfect confirmation of Candace's theory. Isabella had her eyes closed and was smiling, as though in acknowledgment. Perry had fresh tears in his eyes and was smiling. Phineas had a cheerful look on his face and Ferb was nodding in agreement. Even the rebels that weren't personally addressed by Candace had expressions that were best described as "gleaming". Alchemist Heinz gasped, this was supposed to make them lose morale but yet that royal pain in the butt had completely turned his plans around and made it like a ray of hope. He turned to Stacy whose expression seemed to show some more life and even respect. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Alchemist Heinz thought in shock. He quickly made the screen vanish and tried his best to still cripple the rebel's spirits.
"Well no matter, you'll be happy to know that your beloved princess will go through the Gate of Dismissal and we all know that whoever passes that gate is never seen again! I will do it in the most humiliating way possible! I will dress her in the most lavish gown that MY kingdom can design in a contest. Anyone may enter, even you may enter, but only the BEST one will be selected." He described his plans. The rebels gasped. The Gate of Dismissal was built on a new bridge that Alchemist Heinz had made over the seven weeks. This bridge was near the docks, over the ocean, and it was built mostly through Heinz's magic. It had been used for those banished or condemned by Alchemist Heinz though fortunately only the two tour guides of the castle, who were the first to resist against Alchemist Heinz, had been sentenced to the gate. As the lady-in-waitings gave in to Alchemist Heinz's demands, they were spared. No one knew what lied beyond the gate, possibly monsters or maybe they just disintegrated into thin air. But the contest bit was something new. Probably because the Fir... no, Candace had been captured. That was quite humiliating. A princess who had ignored her people and lavished herself would be condemned in an elegant gown made by the people. Worse, what if everyone designed terrible gowns out of spite for her? The rebels might've done this themselves if they hadn't heard Candace's sincere words just now. Ferb was suspicious though of why Heinz was telling them this.
"Why are you telling us this?" Stacy also looked a bit confused too. He's lost it, she concluded. But Alchemist Heinz smirked,
"Because, I am banishing you from the docks, AND from the castle. So you can never come near and interfere with my plans. So if you really want to mourn your princess, do it by designing her final outfit! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" His cackle echoed throughout the room in an irritating manner. He then snapped his fingers again and the rebels disappeared from the room. They found themselves right outside the castle gates and they fell to the ground as they appeared in mid-air. They could move freely again, as the spell wore off. The rebels had something on their minds, something FAR bigger than what had started as an idea and morphed into a plan. Their princess, their friend, their fellow REBEL, was in danger. They had to rescue her at all costs.
"Oh no, they broke our Teleport T.V!" Baljeet cried out. The other Rebels, now all on their feet, saw the Teleport T.V beside them, it's screen cracked. It was now permanently off.
"Well good thing none of us were in it." Adyson stated. That part was true but there were other things that were true too. Isabella spun around and spoke to the now very attentive rebels,
"Ok comrades! We still have one Teleport T.V and that dress contest. Phineas, Ferb, I need you to create the most beautiful, most fashionable, most "OMG-I-have-to-buy-it" inducing dress you can come up with. But you must also imbue it with some special attributes."
"Like what Izzy?" Phineas asked. Isabella blushed for a minute thinking, he called me 'Izzy'. But she then shook it off and responded,
"Like some special magical power, or gadget, something that will allow the Princess to defend or free herself. We also need to convince someone to join us or ally with us so that they can carry the Teleport T.V, with all of us inside, through the spell's boundary." Perry had a good idea who, especially since they just saw her. Perry chattered to let Isabella know his idea. Isabella heard of course and beamed at the very suggestion.
"Perfect choice Perry! It'll be tricky, but we have to do this, for Candace's sake." All the rebels nodded and then put their hands out as though ready for a baseball cheer. They were not going to stop now, they had come too far, they were ready for redemption.
"2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate? The FIRESIDE PRINCESS!" They cheered excitedly! Well except for Perry of course, chittering was his only real form of vocal communication. Meanwhile, back in the bedroom, Candace was lying down on the bedroom feeling quite pleased with herself. She felt she had spoken like a true princess, or at the very least like a true motivator. She felt like she finally had learned all the lessons that she needed to learn and she was anxious to finally bring the story its happy end. The happy end that it by far deserved more than any other fan-fiction she could think of. And that wasn't many...
"Narrator, can you speed things up to the next morning, like how you did with the seven weeks?" Candace asked, sitting up now and looking alert. The Narrator, who was arguably the most proud of Candace's speech was thrilled to answer her request.
"As you wish Princess." He said with great respect towards Candace. He flew up and once again opened himself and the pages flew quickly and then he closed the covers again, signifying he had used his magic.
"The next morning, our Princess was given a package from a Norm-Bot. It was the winning dress, chosen out of various designs. Most of them had been out of spite but one design had been made with great care." The Narrator narrated eloquently. Candace heard the door unlock and wondered for a moment if she should try to escape. But then she remembered how strong the Norm-Bots were and decided it wasn't worth the risk. A metallic arm reached through the crack in the door and dropped off a box before closing and re-locking the door. The box looked like any normal postage box. Candace rushed over to it and started to open it. As she did so she reminisced about how beautiful the gown would be.
"I just know it'll look darling on me! I mean Isabella loves pink a bit too much but it's kind of the same as how Stacy always wears blue! I bet she'll use a variation of pink but then again it's also my brothers and they made that fairly decent sundress for mom on her birthday and ooh! Think about what Perry might've added to the design. Maybe he made a fedora for moi! It'll be...so...so..." Candace pulled out the lovely dress only to be at a loss for words. Well the top part of the gown was elegant, it was a corset style top of Candace white with red laces and looked easy to put on. The skirt... well... it was very sweet. LITERALLY. It was a three-layer skirt and each layer was a different color but all contributed to a very much obvious theme. The bottom layer was the color of fresh vanilla, the middle layer was the color of chocolate, and the top layer of the skirt was strawberry pink. They were all adorned with lace. It looked just like... Neapolitan ice cream. I'm allergic to dairy for heaven's sake! Candace thought a bit stunned and angered that THIS was what the rebels made for her. It was like an insult. The corset part was ok and probably would accentuate Candace's figure, Perry probably had made it, but the skirt made the entire gown look like the wearer was playing dress-up. It definitely provided the embarrassment Alchemist Heinz wanted in the gown. Candace sighed and moaned,
"Ugh, only Katy Perry can make Neapolitan colors look fashionable." Candace closed her eyes and lowered her head in hopelessness. But the Narrator, ever positive, wasn't about to give in the towel just yet. Indeed, he knew the exact intention of this playful design. So he encouraged Candace,
"Candace, look for the tag of the dress." Candace's eyes opened and her head went up slightly and she did see the tag of the dress, it was on the inside on the back of the top, like a t-shirt. She read it,
"This is a 'Summer All the Time' design." Candace smiled happily. Never had she been so happy to hear of Phineas and Ferb's fashion line before than now. It was clear proof they did have an intention and did make this dress. Candace soon realized that there was something special about this candy-like dress and that if she could figure it out, then she could turn the tables on the Alchemist Heinz. There was no way for her to get into contact with the rebels at the moment so she had to figure out the powers of the dress herself. She also noticed the pink layer had pockets, which meant she could put her prized camera in it and keep it with her no matter what happened. This was it, the home stretch. If the Fireside Princess needed to prove her worth as a ruler, this was the time. Candace was ready, she was ready to finish the story. So she could not only investigate the camera, but because there was a certain pink-loving bright-eyed young writer who was waiting for a critique on her story. And if she wanted that 'Creative Writers Patch', she would have to be at Danville to get it.
"It is time."
Hopefully my quicker chapter posting will help convince you of my return ^_^. Also, I left out songs in this chapter (OF COURSE seeing how long two songs took last chapter) but I will hint that there will be one final song next chapter. ;D So this chapter basically sets things up for the thrilling falling action. Also I think this chapter reveals a bit more of the setting of the story and also of the Narrator's motivation. I mean he did hand over Candace something that Perry treasures dearly and of course provide LOTS of moral support. I hope by the end of this story you'll understand and like the Narrator cause he really is my first OC and I didn't even realize it XD! I also think this a nice chapter in general and I like how it turned out. So Candace has her Neapolitan dress but is about to be taken to what is her intended resting place. Can she figure out the power of the dress before its too late? Can the rebel's plan succeed or will Alchemist Heinz have the last laugh? Find out on the second to last chapter of Writer's Blockade! Once again I take no ownership of the material used in this story as all copyright rights belong respectfully and eloquently to Disney and Phineas and Ferb. Thank you ^_^.
