Summary: Phineas and Ferb have trouble picking out an activity for the day. Perry has difficulty battling Janet's new security system. (Eddy from Lab Rats guest stars.)
This episode contains references to the Disney XD comedy, Lab Rats. It was also inspired by the PnF episode, "Bully Bromance Breakup." You know, part when Phineas freaked out 'cause he couldn't invent anything. :P
What Shall We Do, Today?
-Night-
*House*
A man in a stereotypical burglar outfit snuck through the living room of someone's house. He grabbed the DVD player-
The lights went on, suddenly. The burglar turned and saw a woman with black bed-head, a gray night tank top, and red pajama bottoms.
Janet gazed sleepily at him. "Wha-huh?"
The burglar stood up and waved his hands in a circle. "You're dreaming," he said mysteriously.
Janet yawned into her fist. "Okay." She turned out the lights and walked back upstairs.
The burglar sighed in relief. He unplugged the DVD player. The lights came on again. Janet was more alert, this time.
Before the burglar could comprehend what was happening, Janet was, literally, throwing him out of the building, yelling, "And, stay out!" She slammed the door.
-Afternoon, The Next Day-
*Backyard*
Phineas, Ferb, and Perry lay under the tree, bored as ever. Phineas was trying to think of something to do. "Maybe, we could- No, we've already done that. What about- No, we've done that, too. Maybe- No, that's already been invented."
Perry looked at him in surprise. "Wow. This is the longest it's ever taken you boys to pick something to do."
Phineas looked back at him. "Do you have any ideas, Perry?"
"Well," Perry mused, "why don't you- No, you've done that. Maybe you- No, that failed miserably." He shrugged. "I got nothin'."
"What about you, Ferb?" Ferb shrugged, and Phineas gulped. "O-okay. I-I guess we could just sit here...and think of something..."
Perry raised an eyebrow. "You okay, kid?"
"Uh-huh. Totally fine."
Perry opened his mouth to speak, when his wrist-com beeped. Phineas and Ferb stood up and took a few steps away, so their pet's superior wouldn't see them.
Major Monogram appeared on the small screen. "Hello, Agent P. We've just received word that Applebottom has installed some new technology. She must be using it for evil."
Jeremy, carrying a large box, suddenly stopped behind the major. "Maybe, she just got a new computer, or something."
"Not now, Jeremy."
"I just don't see why everything the bad guys do is considered evil."
Monogram face-palmed. "Just get to work. That goes for both of you."
Perry saluted as the screen went blank. He strapped on his jet-pack. "And, I'm off-screen." He flew away.
As he watched the platypus go, Phineas said, "Hey, Ferb, why don't we make jet-pa- No, wait. We did that when we played volleyball, last summer." (Sleepwalk Surprise)
*Living Room*
Candace lay on the couch, reading a magazine, when her mother walked up to her and said, "Candace, I'm going to my cooking class."
Candace sat up, grinning. "Am I in charge, since Perry left?"
"No one needs to be in charge, Candace."
"But, what if space harpies descend from the sky and eat the house?" (Bully Bust)
Linda just looked at her. "If that happens, you're in charge." (Rollercoaster; I Scream, You Scream)
Candace pumped her fist and let out a happy "Yes!" as her mother walked away. She opened the sliding door and yelled to her brothers, "Mom says I'm in charge conditionally!" When no one responded, she walked suspiciously up to her brothers. The last thing she expected to see was Phineas hugging himself and shivering with Ferb's arm around him. The sight of this worried her greatly. "Phineas, are you okay?"
"I...I-I..." Phineas flailed his arms in panic, accidentally knocking Ferb over. "I don't know!" He curled up on the ground and started sucking his thumb.
Candace didn't know what to make of that. "Well, that happened."
Phineas and Ferb stood up, when Isabella appeared and said, "Hey, guys. Whatcha doin'?"
Phineas smiled hopefully. "That depends. Do you, by any chance, have a patch you need help earning?" There was a hint of desperation in his voice. He needed something to do!
Isabella whipped out the Fireside Girl Manual from somewhere and started flipping through it. "Let's see... There is!"
Phineas jumped in excitement. "Awesome! What is it?"
Isabella answered, "The 'Sitting and Doing Nothing' Patch." Phineas fainted. "We're gonna need a blowtorch and a bag of cheese puffs. Phineas?"
*Applebottom Evil is Now Secure*
Perry jumped through the laboratory window, breaking it in the process. He took a surprised, involuntary step back, when a figure appeared on a screen that Perry swore wasn't on the wall, before. The figure was shaped like an 'E' with a rounded top. It had a simple face and a 'Y' that resembled a shirt. (It's Eddy from Lab Rats.)
"Uh-oh," the figure spoke in a nasally voice. "You broke the window. When Janet finds out, you will be so busted. Like the window!"
Perry was unsure of how to respond. "Well...that happened. Hey, uh, wh-who, or what, are you? And, where's Janet?"
"Well," the figure began, "Janet's out buying either lady products or supplies for new evil inventions. I stopped listening after she said, 'Name yourself. I don't care.' As for who and what I am- Actually, I think I'll let the song tell you. Just give me a minute to load it." A loading bar appeared on his screen, and it quickly filled up.
(This song is a parody of Perry's theme song. Sorry, Perry.)
-Male Singer-
Doo-be-doo-be-doo-ba,
Doo-be-doo-be-doo-ba,
Doo-be-doo-be-doo-ba,
Doo-be-doo-be-doo-ba.
-Female Singers-
Eddy!
-Eddy-
I'm a very annoying security system of action.
-Male Singer-
Doo-be-doo-be-doo-ba,
Doo-be-doo-be-doo-ba.
-Eddy-
I was installed by a woman,
Who would never flinch from a fray-ay-ay.
I have got gadgets galore.
Things you cannot buy at a store.
And, the platypus hates
Whenever I do this!
-Perry-
Do what? *a robotic hand hits slaps him from behind*
-Eddy-
I'm Eddy!
Eddy the smart home system!
Perry glared at him and said defiantly, "That's my theme song! All you did you was change the words!"
Eddy ignored him. "Bottom line, Janet installed me this morning, so I could protect her house. And, I intend to do so."
Perry raised an eyebrow, curious as to where this was going. "Do you, now?"
"You bet your mask I do!"
"I'm not wearing a mask."
"That's your face?" Eddy was loving this. "Ew! He's hideously deformed! Look away!" Perry jumped up and thumped the screen. "Ow! Not cool, man."
*Backyard*
"Hello, friends!" Baljeet greeted as he and Buford walked into the yard.
Phineas sprinted up to Baljeet, grabbed him by the shirt, and desperately begged, "Please, give me something to do! I'm b-b-b-b-bored! So, so, bored!" He started shaking Baljeet. "I can't take being bored!"
Buford yanked Phineas away. "Get it together, man!" He slapped Phineas several times before setting him down.
Calmed down, Phineas said, "Thanks. I needed that."
Buford nodded. "Yes. Yes, you did."
"What is the matter?" Baljeet asked.
Isabella answered, "Phineas and Ferb can't decide what they wanna do, today."
"Wow," Buford said. "That's really out of character."
"If I may make a suggestion," Baljeet began.
Phineas dropped to his knees, cupped his hands together and pleaded, "Anything."
Baljeet took a disturbed step back. "Perhaps you guys could build a device that makes decisions for you."
Phineas stared blankly at nothing for a moment. He and Ferb then rushed to gather a variety of materials, while Phineas sang to the tune of The Lone Ranger overture, "Gotta build, gotta build, gotta build, build, build! Gotta build, gotta build, gotta build, build, build! Gotta build, gotta build, gotta build, build, build! Gotta build! Gotta build, build, build!" (This part was inspired by Chapter Five of the zapdos's "Kick It Up A Notch!")
"Um, you are welcome?" Baljeet said uncertainly, wondering what had just done.
*Janet's Laboratory*
"Who likes dodgeball?" Eddy asked. Before Perry could respond, dodgeballs hit him from all directions. Somehow Perry managed to stay standing. Eddy sang, "I know I do!"
Perry looked around. "Where did you get all these?"
"It's a fanfiction. I can have as many dodgeballs as the author allows." Another one was thrown at Perry. "Now, let's see. What else will I torture you with? I know!" Terrible music - the worst Perry's ever heard - started playing (the music from the Courage, the Cowardly Dog episode, "King Ramses' Curse"). Perry covered his ears with his hands, but failed to block out the noise. "Really bad music from a cartoon that was cancelled several years ago!"
"And, to think I like that show!" Perry exclaimed, fed up with this stupid security system.
"Hey, check out what else I can do!" Eddy started firing lasers, while the music played. Perry dodged each one of them. "Dance, my pretty, dance!" (Wizard of Oz reference)
*Backyard*
Phineas and Ferb stood before their disturbed friends and sister, panting. Ferb held a metal helmet with two antennae sticking out of it.
"Anyone else freaked out, right now?" Buford asked. All but him, Phineas, and Ferb raised their hands.
Phineas swiped his hand against his brow. "Sorry, guys. We just really needed something cool to do."
"If we hadn't been able to invent anything, today," Ferb said, "I was going to scream." (Bully Bromance Breakup)
A red ray from the sky hit the helmet, turning it to dust.
Candace commented, "Well, I guess everything's back to normal."
*Janet's Laboratory*
The laser's had stopped, but the horrible music was still playing. Perry couldn't take it anymore! He spotted a water bottle on a nearby table and grabbed it. He twisted the cap off and splashed the water on to Eddy. Eddy sparked, and the music finally stopped.
"What's happening?" Eddy exclaimed in dismay. "I'm pixelating! I'm pixelating!" (Another Wizard of Oz reference) He eventually vanished from the screen.
Perry pulled out his grappling hook and - for good measure - shot it into the screen, breaking what used to be Eddy. Perry tipped his hat to the audience with a satisfied smirk and ran off-screen.
After he left, Janet walked into the lab, saw what was left of her security system, and exclaimed, "Oh, my gosh! They killed Eddy! You monsters!" (South Park reference)
The End
Have you ever noticed how tons of people read a story, but only, like, two review? You can change this by... Well, you know. ;)
