Phineas and Ferb

The New Adventures of Phineas and Ferb

Episode 9: Phineas and Ferb! Warped! (Part 1)

Episode Summary: In order to make the most out of a summer day, Phineas and Ferb build a device that can stop time. But little do they, and Perry, know that Dr. Doofenshmirtz has the same idea so he can take over the Tri-State Area in the blink of an eye. And if that wasn't bad enough, just imagine what happens when both of their plans intertwine. Plus, after discovering something shocking in Commandant Spangler's office, Canfdace sees this as a perfect opportunity to get out of the school, go after her mother, and finally bust her brothers.

Disclaimer: Phineas and Ferb does not belong to me. It belongs to the two geniuses Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh. Keep up the good work, gentlemen!

There's just so many days of adolescence vacation
'Til adulthood and old age come to end it,
So the problem for children of this generation,
Is finding a good way to spend it
Like maybe...

Building a rocket, or fighting a mummy,
Or climbing up the Eiffel tower,
Discovering something that doesn't exist,
Or giving a monkey a shower
Surfing tidal waves, creating nano-bots,
Or locating Frankenstein's brain,
Finding a Dodo bird, painting a continent,
Or driving the adults insane

This could possibly be the best day ever,
And the forecast says that tomorrow will likely be
a million and six times better,
So make every minute count
jump up, jump in and seize the day,
And let's make sure that in every single possible way,
Today is Gonna to Be a Great Day!

It was a brand new morning in the Tri-State Area. Everybody in the Flynn-Fletcher Family was awakening, ready to seize the day, especially young Phineas, who had a lot to handle today, more than usual, which is really saying something.

He rose up slowly from his bed, looked out the window and saw the sun shining over his room. He tore a page off of his hannd-held calender, revealing the date. It was July 1st, the first day of a new summer month. "Hey, Ferb! Wake up!" He rushed over to his sleeping stepbrother and shook him violently. "We're burning daylight here! Come on!"

Ferb sat up too and the two ran into their closet and changed into their regular clothes. Then they rushed downstairs where their breakfasts, eggs and bacon, were waiting for them. "Morning, mom! Morning, dad!"

"Morning, boys. How'd you sleep? Linda asked them.

"Pretty good. By the way, when did you get home?"

"Late last night. I spent all day getting my licesne. I fell asleep and missed my appointment. But don't worry. I got it worked out, and look," She took out her drivers license, her new drivers license.

"Cool!"

"So what are you two planning to do today?"

"Hmm, we're not so sure. We've got plenty of ideas, but we have no idea which one we should do first."

"Well the day is young. I'm sure you'll think of something."

"I'm sure I will, too."

"As for your father and I, I'm going to run the antique store and your father's going to stay home and pay some bills."

"Alright mom. Thanks." Putting aside their breakfast dishes, the two stepbrothers raced outside to sit under their big oak tree and think of a project to do today.

Meanwhile, back at Commandant Edwin Spangler's Military School, Candace was in her room, laying on her bed, thinking. She would be spending her time in The Hole right now, but, she managed to cut a deal with Spangler, and instead of spending a week in The Hole, she now has to spend the week cleaning up the school, and her food privelages were fully restored. But for today, she was busy tidying up his office while he is away. He was away at a "Military School Officers Convention" for the day, and she entrusted Candace (more like demanded her) to keep his office spotless and make sure everything was there when he got back.

(Cue Flashback)

"Candace Flynn, report to Commandant Spangler's office at once." A voice over the loudspeaker roared.

Candace looked over at Tara and gulped. "What do ya think he wants."

"I don't know. He doesn't really call for people over the loudspeaker. He usually does that if they're really in trouble. Good luck."

Candace slowly made her way to Commandant Spangler's office. The officer was sitting at his desk, waiting for her. "Um, hello?"

"Have a seat, Flynn." He said firmly, but calmly. Candace immediately obeyed, taking a seat across from him in the empty chair. The two of them remained silent for at least a minute before Spangler spoke again. "Now, Ms. Flynn, do you know why I called you in?"

"NO...but I'm assuming I'm in some kind of trouble."

Spangler chuckled. "Oh, you're not in trouble." Candace's eyes opened widely in surprise. Spangler stood up from his desk and started strolling leisurely around his office. "From the report I read about you when you first enrolled here--"

"More like I was dragged here." Candace said quietly so he wouldn't hear her.

"It seems to me that you take great pride in keeping things in line; in order, if you will."

"Why yes, I do. I always hate it when my brothers annoy me with their crazy antics because it disturbs everyone around them, including me!"

"Actually, it appears that the only one who is frustrated with their antics is you, and frankly, I don't understand why."

"Well, sir, with all due respect, you'd probably understand better if you spent a day in my shoes."

Commandant Spangler stared down Candace for a moment. She was afraid she offended him. "Well, I just might do that someday. Someday, but not today. Anyway, the reason I have called you down is because I have a Military School Officers convention to go to today and I need someone to watch over my office while I'm away. And since you like things to be in order just as much as I do, I think that person should be you."

"Y-You do?"

"Of course. I mean, you have good intentions. Your actions, however, are absolutely horrific. But, I believe this will be good for you. Think of it this way: You'll finally be able to put the very little talents you have to good use." Candace cringed. "Now, I will be gone from 6 AM to 4 PM. I expect you to dust the shelves, vaccum the floor, and clean the windows, and have everything exactly the way it is by the time I return. Do not touch anything, do not take anything out of my book shelves, but most of all...do not, DO NOT!" He pointed to one of his drawers by his file cabinet near the window. "OPEN! THAT! DRAWER! Do you understand me!? Under no circumstances are you to open that drawer."

Candaced flinched for a moment and then looked at the drawer, and then at Spangler's face. She could tell he was dead serious about the drawer. "Y-Yes sir. I-I understand loud and clear!"

"Good. Now, at ease, private." With that, he saluted her, and walked out the door, off to his convention. He didn't even bother to look back at Candace. If he did, he would've seen that she was already sitting in his chair, reading a magazine and laughing.

(End Flashback)

She was busy dusting the shelves when her "friend", Tara, came in, looking for her. "There you are, Candace. Where've you been? You missed breakfast."

"What? Why didn't you come get me!?"

"'Cause it was "Bacon and Eggs" day. You know they only do that once a month! I'm lucky if I get one serving! Here, I brought you some bacon." Tara took out three strips of bacon and handed them to Candace. She took a huge bite out of one of them. "So what's up? What did Spangler want to see you about?"

"He asked me to watch over his office while he's away for the day!"

"A-Are you serious!? Why would he entrust you to such an important task like this?"

"He says that I can finally put my skills of wanting everything to be in order to good use. Yeah, all he asked was that I didn't look in that drawer." She pointed to the drawer Commandant Spangler specifically told her not to look in. Both girls took a good look at each other.

Back at home...

"OK, Ferb, what do we have for today?" Ferb brought out a bunch of blueprints for Phineas to take a look at. "Hmm, let's see, here. We have "Play in the NHL"? Nope. "Teach Perry tricks"? Nuh-uh. "End World Hunger"? No way. Man! We have so many good ideas, but I don't know which one we should do first. And I also really want to spend some alone time with Isabella today."

As if on cue, Isabella walked into the backyard. "Hey Phineas." She said cheerfully as she took a seat under the tree next to Phineas, and hugged him tightly. "Whatcha' doin'?"

"We don't know yet. We have a lot of good ideas, but we're not exactly sure which one we should do. And we're not exactly sure what we should do first. Plus, we don't want to waste too much time because the day goes by so fast and before we know it, it's going to be nighttime."

"Well, what have you got so far?" Phineas handed her the blue prints and sketches they had so far. She looked over them and then looked at Phineas again. "Ahh, I see why you guys are stuck. These are great ideas."

"Man, I wish there was more time in the day. Then we could do all of these great ideas today and still have time to do other things."

"Phineas, have you considered taking a lazy day and starting fresh tomorrow? I think you could use one."

"We have. But we did that last summer."

"There's no shame in doing it this summer, too."

"We already have, remember? We all decided to sleep in one day because of that stupid slumber party."

"That was different."

"I know. But I don't feel like taking a day off. There's still so much we haven't done yet, and we're not gonna be kids forever."

"Why don't you built robot versions of yourself to--"

"We did that last summer, too."

"And that turned out to be one of our worst ideas ever." Ferb added.

"What else is there that we can do? I mean, it's not like we can just build a device that can stop time or...hey, wait a minute. Ferb, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" His stepbrother gave him a thumbs up. "Alright, then. Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today. Come on, Isabella, you can help."

"What are we gonna do?"

"You'll see soon enough. Hey, wait, where's Perry?"

Perry aka Agent P was on top of the Flynn-Fletcher roof. He jumped in and slid down the chimney right down into his secret lair. When he arrived, he was surprised to see that his lair was completely in shambles. His walls was destroyed, many of his gadgets were missing, even his screen was cracked. But it was still working, so he was able to communicate with Monogram.

"Good morning, Agent P. I apologize for the mess in your lair. That rogue agent, Dennis, broke into your secret lair last night, and Carl and I had to go in and stop him ourselves since all of our other agents had gone home. The problem was, Carl and I...well, we were a bit too reckless. As a result, he destroyed some of your walls, crushed some of your gadgets, and...well, we think one of the windows might be broken as well. Anyway, because of the damage, we hired all of our resources to come and fix up your lair later today. Plus, we've also taken the liberty to fix all of the gadgets that were broken during the hastle. Of course, that also means that we have failed to send out our sources to find out what Doofenshmirtz is up to so you can go stop him. But, fear not. We have a theory."

"After reviewing several video tapes capturings the events that your owners, Phineas and Ferb, have done during last summer, and all of Doofenshmirtz's schemes from last summer, we have come to the conclusion that whatever plan your owners come up with always seems to disappear because of Dr. Doofenshmirtz's plan. It's a repeating pattern, and if it were any other day, then I would say that it is very annoying. But today, it just might be the key to stopping him. Your mission, Agent P, is to spy on your owners. If you can figure out what they're up to, perhaps we can figure out what Doofenshmirtz is up to. Good luck."

Perry saluted his boss gracefully and went over to his gadget area to get his jetpack. But, he noticed that his jetpack was missing. Clearly, it was another one of his gadgets that was "broken", so he simply ran out the usual way. That did, though, entail several flights of stairs, which left him exhausted when he got to the top. (Got Game?)

Meanwhile, back at the military school, Candace and Tara were hanging out in their room. Tara was reading a magazine, and Candace was lying leisurely on her bed. Tara looked over at her roommate, and immediately knew she was a bit edgy today. "Aren't you the least bit curious as to what COmmandant Spangler's hiding in that drawer?"

"N-No, not really." Candace lied.

"Candace, we've known each other for over a week now. I can tell when you're lying. You really wanna know what he's hiding, don't you?"

"Well...a little, but I gave my word that I wouldn't go and look in that drawer while he's away."

"Look, he's obviously hiding something, and he wants you to find out about it."

"But why? Why would he deliberately tell me not to open it if he wanted me to open it in the first place?"

"It's reverse psychology. Look, when parents leave older siblings in charge of younger siblings for a night, and they tell them specifically not to do something, they usually want them to do it. And more times than not, the older sibling's curiosity will consume them, and they will disobey they're parents' orders. But normally, they end up learning a valuable lesson from it. My dad did it with me all the time."

"Really?"

"Yeah. At first I thought it was just him being mean to me but once the important lessons started coming up, I realized that all he was doing was trying to protect me and prepare me for life. And now, I'm a vibrant, youg, pretty 18 year old girl ready to serve her country in her father's honor."

"Wait, so you willingly enrolled in this death trap?"

"Of course! See, my father was a Vietnam survivor. He was remembered as one of the greatest American heroes of all time. He single-handedly saved over 50 of his troop members at once, taking bullet wounds for all of them."

"Wow..."

"Yep. After he came home, he married my mother, had me, and then died when I turned 12."

"Ooh, sorry about that."

"It was only after he died that I learned about his life in the military. After that day, I swore that I would continue his legacy and help our country out in the war in Iraq. I just have to graduate from here first. Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that Spangler is trying to test you. You know, with that whole drawer thing. He did the exact same thing with me during my first week here."

"He did?"

"Yep. He said he was going to one of those all-day conventions, and he asked me to watch over his office and not to look in his drawer."

"And?"

"I didn't. I went 10 hours without looking in that drawer. No, I just spent the day tidying up his office until he got back."

"That's it?"

"Well, yeah. He said that I didn't want to open up that drawer because I had learned self-control. He does this with all of his new cadets. He makes up dumb lessons such as "discipline", or "self-control" or even "orderly conduct" as to why the cadet is perfect for the job -- althought I think he might've gotten you right by accident."

"He was sure right about you, 'cause you have way more self-control than I do. As for me, I'm going to open that drawer!" Candace screamed, standing up, and running out of her room towards Spangler's office. Tara got up and ran after her.

"Candace, wait!! You don't know what you're doing!"

Back in Danville, Phineas and Ferb were busy. Busy working on a new device that would help them get all of their projects done in one day. "And...it's done!" He held up what looked like a regular old stopwatch.

"What is it?"

"Presenting our newest invention, the Clockstopper!"

"But that looks like a regular old stopwatch."

"Oh, but it isn't. With this thing, we'll be able to stop time at will so we could have as many adventures as we want in a single day and in reality, only a minute would have passed."

"But Phineas, it's scientifically impossible to stop time itself. Baljeet said so"

"So? If Baljeet said that it was impossible for our economy to fall, would you believe him?"

"What are you talking about, Phineas?"

"Nevermind."

"In accordance with a film of the same name, this device does not phsyically stop time. Rather, it speeds up the molecules of the person who activated it, along with anybody who is in contact with that person, thereby giving them the impression that time has stopped when in reality, those affected are just moving at a speed faster than light." Ferb explained to her.

"Oh...that...that doesn't make any sense."

"Here. We'll give you a demonstration. Grab on to me." Ferb and Isabella both put their hands on Phineas, who was holding the stopwatch. (While Ferb simply put his hand on his arm, Isabella wrapped her arms around Phineas's neck, which he didn't mind, though.) Phineas pressed the button on top of it, and instantly, everything around them seemed to freeze up. The birds that were flying in the sky stood still in the air, the car that was passing yb their house froze...basically everything stopped in their tracks.

Isabella looked completely starstruck, gazing at everything completely stopped. "Oh my gosh...nothing's moving. Nothing except us, of course."

"Yep."

"Wow. You guys actually did it! You figured out how to stop time...sort of."

"Yes. Yes we did."

"You know, you guys really amazing me. There's nothing you can't do."

"That's right. And now that we're in hyperspace, we have all the time in the world to do the projects we want to, and after that--" He looked over at his girlfriend, who gave him a nice peck on his cheek. "We can have all the time in the world to ourselves, Isabella."

"I like the sound of that." She wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned her head on his shoulder, the two of them giggling. "So, what are we going to do first?"

"Why don't we go see what Danville is like in hyperspace?"

"That sounds like fun."

"Alright then. let's go." He used his time-stopping device again, and everything resumed.

"Wait, what are you doing?" Isabel,la asked as tey started walking into town.

"What? Making ourselves move faster than the speed of light takes up a lot of power. We don't know how long we can stay in hyperspace with this thing, so we don't want to take a chance." Phineas explained to her. Before the three were out of sight, Perry caught sight of them from behind the house. He was amazed that they had gone from the front lawn to the middle of the street, since he wasn't in hyperspace with them nor did he know about it. But since it was his job to figure out what they were up to, he jotted down their actions, and then quickly proceeded to follow them on foot...until he got tired, where he decided to follow them with his grappling hook, one of the few of his gadgets that wasn't destroyed.

Meanwhile, back at the military school, Candace was back in Spangler's office, and was about to open up the secret drawer Spangler told her not to open. Tara came in seconds later and pulled her back considerable. "Candace, no!!"

"I gotta know what he's hiding, Tara! I've just gotta know!" Candace said crazily, panting hysterically trying to get out of Tara's grip.

"You can't!"

"Why not!?" She asked before finally calming down enough to be able to tell that Tara was serious with this.

"Because the last girl that did look in that drawer...ooh, let's just say her life was never the same."

"What are you talking about?"

"Remember when I say that he gives this test to all of his new recruits? Well, I wasn't kidding. He really does. But most of the time, they pass. But the one girl that didn't? Well...after he kicked her out of this school, he started dating her mother, and then the two eventually got married."

"So...so you're saying he became her father?"

"Yep. That's right. And she became so distraught that she ran away and now lives somewehre in Antarctica. He divorced her mother 2 weeks later."

"Ouch. That-That's just wrong. That's wrong in so many ways."

"I know! Do you want that to happen to be you!?"

"No...I guess not...but, what if he's hiding something about Phineas and Ferb rather than me?"

"What do you mean?"

"He told that he was very fond of my brothers because they always liked to express themselves and they were never afraid to "think outside the box" or "push boundaries". I have no idea what he meant by that, but maybe, just maybe, he has some photos of Phineas and Ferb's past adventures, and then, I can use those old photos to finally bust them to my mom! Then, she'll have no choice to apologize to me! Then she'll become my eternal slave for life, along with those two rascalls! Finally, they'll be forced to act like NORMAL CHILDREN!"

The girl began to laugh like a hyena, which utterly creeped Tara out. After a couple of minutes of laughter, Candace was able to calm herself down. "Or...maybe they're just old photos of himself and he doesn't want anyone else to see them."

"Candace pondered on that thought for a moment. "Yeah...I'm gonna go with my idea, because it sounds better."

"Not when you say it." Tara said under her breath.

"What was that?"

"Nothing. Go on."

The red head turned to the drawer and saw that there was a number lock on the handle.. "Oh man! It's locked! How am I ever going to guess the right numbers before he gets back?"

"Oh that's easy. 317." Tara said instantly, to which Candace looked back at her and raised a suspicious eyebrow, rather than dropping her jaw. "His birthday."

"What? You mean, like, the year he was born?"

"March 17th!"

"Ohhhhhhhhh..." Tara rolled her eyes and slapped herself mentally. "OK, let's do it." Candace kneeled down and entered the numbers into the lock, and sure enough, the lock opened. Thoguht she was eager to get it open and look inside, she was also a bit uneasy. What is Tara was right? What if if was just old photos of him and there was absolutely nothing she could use to bust Phineas and Ferb? Then Spangler would know she had opened his drawer, and then she would be in so much trouble. No. No she had to do it. It was now or never.

She slowly pulled the handle on the drawer and slowly pulled it open. The first thing she saw in the drawer was a bunch of pictures lying around. They were all face down so Candace couldn't see right away what they were pictures of, but that didn't stop her from pulling some out. And once she took a good look at them, she couldn't believe her own eyes. She gasped, dropped her jaw, and looked up at Tara.

In Danville, Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella were in hyperspace again and taking a trip around the Tri-State Area to see what everybody was up to, and they didn't have to worry about being spotted. "Wow...everything looks so beautiful in hyperspace." Isabella said as they passed by the golf course.

"Yeah."

Soon they passed by an old abandoned Toy Store. It was on the verge of going out of business because it was so run down, dirty, and the employees & manager had given up on trying to make it better. "Wow, the old Danville Toy Store." Phineas remarked seeing the sign that said "Going out of business". "I can't believe it's going out of business. And it's been around since I was a baby."

"Where else will children get their toys from? There isn't another Toy Store around in the Tri-State Area!" Isabella said. While the three kids were talking, they were well unaware of the fact that Perry was still hot on their trail, and now he had finally caught up with them.

"I say we should fix up this place for them."

"But Phineas, you know how the manaager is. He's so stubborn he hasn't called a repairman, a plumber, an electrician, or even a delivery guy since he's opened this place up!"

"Well, Isabella, that's his own fault. But we can't let this place die just because of his giant ego. Kids need toys in order to survive! And the best part is...the store owner will never be the wiser." Phineas held up the stopwatch, giving them a hint of their plan. "Come on." He went to press the button on his device, but as he did, Perry managed to grab onto Phineas's leg, so when the three friends were taken to hyperspace, so was Perry.

At first, Perry was shocked to see that everything around him was frozen while he was moving at an extremely fast pace. He was so shocked that he had to type up all of his observations on his labtop, another one of the gadgets that wasn't broken, and then send them to his boss for analysis. After that, he proceeded to follow Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella, who quickly got started tearing down the old building, and then went out in search for things that could help them.

They eventually came across a warehouse that had everything they needed: bricks, hammers, nails, screws, screwdrivers, everything anybody could possbily think of to build something. The kids grabbed everything they could and started making their way back to where the toy store once stood. They had to make several trips, but snce they were in hyperspace, only a few seconds passed in real time.

Eventually, they were able to reconstruct the toy store, but on a higher scale, and they redecorated the interior and exterior to make it more festive. Once they were done with that, and they were satisfied with the way the toy store looked, they returned to normal time. Along the way, Perry was making notes of all of Phineas and Ferb's actions, so when he returned to normal, he made sure to make a note of that and send it to his boss.

When the owner of the store came out of his office to open the store for business, he was shocked to see that it was completely remodeled. He came out to see the exterior of it, and was completely shaken. He was angry that people had decided to change the store he had been in business with for years. "What!? WHat the--I-Igah!! WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MONSTROCITY!?" He roared into the opens kies, not even noticing Phineas and Ferb and Isabella standing there.

"Uh...we are, sir." Phineas said casually, which made the store owner rush right over to him and pick him up by his shirt collar.

"YOU...YOU...How could you do this to me!?"

"What!?"

"How could you ruin the last thing that I truly care about other than my wife!?"

"But...you haven't had that many customers in years. We were just trying to help you. I mean your old store was all run-down and dirty."

"It's a family business! I promised I wouldn't change anything about it! And if you think you're gonna get away with this, you've got another thing..." He started to lose steam when he noticed that tons of people were starting to pile into the store, and were now spending tons of money on toys for their children and for themselves. THe man was dumbfounded, and all of his threats to Phineas suddenly left his mind. "Oh my...customers! Actual customers!"

"Yeah! We knew that if you redocarated your store, you would get more customers. But we also knew you were too thick--" He didn't get to finish his sentece, as the man dropped Phineas onto the ground and ran back into his store to deal with the many new customers he had. "-headed."

"Hmph. He seemed to be in a rush." Isabella remarked.

"I'm sure he wants to tend to his many new customers."

"Either that, or he wants to shoo them away and be alone with the trainwreck that was once his toystore." Ferb commented.

Meanwhile, back at the military school...

"I can't believe this." Candace quivered, looking through the many pictures she found. "I can't believe this! I cannot believe that...my own mother was MARRIED TO SPANGLER!!" The pictures Candace had were wedding photos of Commandant Edwin Spangler and Linda. All kinds of pictures were there -- the wedding, the kiss, the reception, Spangler carrying Linda down the threshold.

Tara was just as shocked as Candace was. "This-This is just crazy!"

"I know! Why didn't my mom ever tell me that she was married to him!?"

"I'm not sure, but this might explain why she decided to put you in this military school in the first place."

"You think so?"

"I mean, I know you have a strained relationship with your brothers, but come on! All brothers and sisters fight at some point. That's no reason to put you in here."

"You know something? You are absolutely right. My mom didn't put me in here because I was mean to Phineas and Ferb! She put me in here because she's...she's..." She gasped. "She's still in love with Spangler!! OH my god!! I wonder if my dad knows!"

"Well, if he doesn't know, and you expose this to your family, he's probably gonna leave her."

"But I kinda like my dad. The last thing I would want is for him to split up from my mom, especially after he already forgot their anniversary once. But..."

"But..."

"Maybe, just maybe, I can use these photos to blackmail my mom. Yeah! Yeah, I can threaten to show dad these photos of her and Spangler, and then she'll have to listen to me about all those projects I told her of Phineas and Ferb!! Yes!! It's all so perfect! There's absolutely no way that this plan is gonna fail! A ha ha ha ha!"

Tara blinked or a few seconds, waiting for Candace to cool down. When she finally did, Tara spoke up. "Umm, there is one problem, though. You're still trapped here. And the last time you attempted to escape, you failed."

"And that plan was so foolproof!"

"How do you expect to show your mom those photos if you can't even get out of here?"

"Hmmm...you do bring up a good point. Maybe I can get mom to come up here so I can bust HER! Then, I can blackmail her into busting the boys! I gotta call her!" She rushed out of her room over to the pay phone, and started dialing her home phone number.

"Hello?"

"MOM! MOM!! GET OVER HERE NO--wait, dad?" Her stepdad, Lawrence, was on the other line.

"Yes, honey. It's so good to hear from you again."

"Is mom there? I have something really important to tell her."

"Well, she's not here at the moment. She's watching over the antique store. If you like, I could--"

Candace hung up right then and there. Then she dialed the number to her family's antique store. Linda took a few rings before she could answer. "Flynn-Fletcher Antiques. How can I help you?"

"Mom!!"

"Oh hi, Candace. I wasn't expecting a call from you."

"Mom! I need you to get over here right away! I have something important to show you!"

"Candace, I can't just leave. I'm running an antique store."

"Mom, I think your gross little antique store can wait for a little while! This is big."

"No, Candace. Look, I'm closing down in a few hours, so I'll come by then. And my antique store is not gross!"

"Oh, I've seen it, mom! It's gross! Now come over here and see these pictures!"!"

"I've made up my mind, Candace."

"Oh really!?" Now Candace was pushed too far. "I don't think so, Linda Flynn!! Or...should I say...LINDA SPANGLER!!!"

Linda, on the other line, gasped in shock as she heared the words "Linda Spangler". She could not believe that Candace had said that to her.

"Mom!? Mom!? Hey!! Are you still there!? I'm not done talking to you yet!!" After yelling at her mom, Candace heard a clicking sound and then a monotone, indicating that Linda had hung up. "I can't beleive it. She hung up on me!!" Candace hung up her phone in anger and frustration.

"So now what are you going to do?" Tara asked her.

"Well, if mom won't come to the evidence, then I'll just have to bring the evidence to mom."

"But you couldn't even escape the last time you tried."

"Well, then, this time, I'm going to have to try hardre! Because mark my words, this time, I am going to get out of this darned school, bust my brothers, and finally expose them and my mom for the filthy frauds they are!!"

"Yeah, I'm gonna go have some lunch before you totally creep my appetite out." Tara slowly started tip-toing away from Candace to the cafeteria.

In Danville, it was now 2:00 in the afternoon. Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella had accomplished what they wanted to accomplish, so they decided to head back to their house and hang out. The two brothers decided to set up a hammock between the two tall trees in their backyard and relax in it along with Isabella. It was big enough to fit all three of them comfortably.

"Man, what an awesome day." Phineas said as he turned on his stopwatch and took all three of them into hyperspace so they could have as much to themseves as they wanted. "And it's not even half over yet. Now we can do whatever else we want until sundown."

"But right now, I'm in the mood to just lay here and relax with you guys." Isabella said, resting herself comfortably on her side of the hammock.

"Yeah, me too." Phineas got comfortable laying with Isabella.

"You know, Phineas, you amaze me every single day. I-I just don't know how you and Ferb do it. You defy the impossible al the time, and no matter what, you never lie, you never cheat, you never steal, you're just an out-of-the-ordinary kid who loves adventure, and you'll stop at nothing to get it. I guess that's why I fell in love with you in the first place. So tell me, what made you fall in love with me, Phineas? Phineas?" She looked to her side and saw that Phineas was actually asleep. He was out cold. She gently shook him awake. He blinked a few times and opened his eyes, looking up at a sincere Isabella.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I must've dozed off." He said genuinely, rubbing his eyes awake. "I-I guess I could've used that lazy day after all."

Isabella kissed Phineas on his cheek and then snuggled up to him as he closed his eyes again. "You know, you're cute when you're asleep."

"So are you."

"Why don't you go back to sleep. These past few days have been hard on you."

"You sure Isabella?"

"Sure I'm sure. I'm your girlfriend, after all. So it's my job to make sure that you're OK. I mean, if something ever happened to you, I don't know what I would do. So if I think you should get some more sleep, I think you should listen to me."

"You know, I love how you're always looking out for my well-being, Isabella. And that's one of the many, many things that I love about you."

"Well, I know you've been running ragged these past few days, so I just want to make sure you're going to be alright."

"Don't worry about it. I will be." He kissed her once more before he layed back down, this time on a pillow that Isabella supplied for him. She offered Ferb a pillow too, and even gave herself one, and in moments, all of them were asleep, resting comfortably, recovering from the stress they endured from the past few days. Of course what Phineas didn't realize was that he had accidentally sat on his creation, so he pressed the button and returned them to normal time.

Meanwhile, Perry was watching them closely for the time they were asleep. They stayed asleep for about 2 hours before Perry received a call from his boss, Monogram. "Agent P, we've looked over all of the information you've given us today, and we've come to two conclusions: 1) Doofenshmirtz is planning to reverse the Earth's rotation to change history and take over Danville. But since he's already tried that, we're gonna go with conclusion #2) Doofenshmirtz is building a time-stopping device so he can take ovver the Tri-State Area in the blink of an eye. Whatever he's up to, you must stop him at all costs! Good luck Agent P!"

Perry saluted his boss on his video monitor, and then headed over to his nemesis's lair.

Inside Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, Dr. Doofenshmirtz was busy working on his latest creation. In a few moments, Perry broke through one of the windows. But before he could land on the ground, a bunch of rope stretched out from the walls and tied Perry up.

"Perry the Platypus..." Doofenshmirtz said maniacally, turning around, walking to Perry, and showing off his new watch. "I suppose you're wondering how I anticipated your arrival so easily. Well...introducing my latest and greatest creation...the Time Bendinator! With this, all it takes is a simple push of a button and I can make myself move faster than the speed of light, giving me the impression that time has stopped. WIth this new device, I can create as many "inators" as I want and there's absolutely nobody that can stop me!"

It was 6:30 pm in Danville, and Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella were just now stirring awake from their long, & much needed nap. The three kids yawned as Isabella looked up at the sky, and was shocked to see that the sun was setting. "Hey, Phineas?"

"Yes, Isabella?"

"Didn't you send us into hypertime when we went to sleep?"

"Yeah? I mean, I'm sure I did. Why?" Isabella pointed up into the sky to the setting sun. "Oh no. I must've hit the button on this thing by accident and sent us back to reality." Phineas yawned and stretched his arms out. "But you know what? You were right, Isabella. I really did need that lazy day. I'm exhausted."

"Yeah, I'm pretty worn out, too. I think it's time for me to go home."

"So, see you tomorrow? Same time?"

"You bet, sweetheart." They hugged one more time and kissed before Isabella jumped out of the hammok and started running back home. "Bye Phineas! See ya, Ferb!!"

"Bye Isabella!" Phineas shouted, blowing her one more kiss as she ran back to her house to see her mother & her dog. "Well, Ferb, I think we can say that this day was successfully seized!"

"But now what do we do with this device? I mean, usually by now our invetion has disappeared." Ferb reminded them.

"Oh yeah. You're right."

Meanwhile, Candace had her hands full, since Commandant Spangler was about to return from his day long convention. "Candace!!" Tara shouted, running over to her roommate. "We have a problem! A big problem!"

"Yeah, yeah, the cafeteira is serving 3-week old meatloaf. I've heard it before-"

"No, you nimrod! Spangler's on his way here! He's already parked his car!"

"What?"

"Yeah, and his office is still a mess!"

"Aww, man! We gotta clean that mess up!"

And so both girls rushed over to his office and started dusting and vaccuming and washing down everything they had touched, which, weirdly, wasn't much. In fact, the only thing they had to really worry about was the drawer they had opened up. They had to fix the lock they had opened. They were able to get it back on the drawer, and tidy everything up so it was exactly the way Spangler left it when he left. He walked into the school, and headed up right to his office, suspecting that there might be foul play in his office, and he was right. But Candace and Tara were trying their best to hide it.

The two girls managed to run out of the office before Spangler had arrived. And as he took a good look around his office, he was almost completely sure that that something had happened while he was away. However, since nothing looked out of the ordinary, he decided not to dwell on that thought for now.

In Candace's room...

"Man, Tara, can you believe this!? My mom was married to Spangler at one point! But I don't see me, Phineas, or Ferb in any of these pictures. So it must've been before I was born."

"So now what are you going to do?"

"Well, mom hung up on me as soon as I said "Linda Spangler", so I'm sure she must still remember that time. Ho! Oh boy, this is great!"

"Why's that?"

"Because if my dad doesn't know that my mom was married to Spangler...then...then maybe, just maybe, I can trick him into believing that my mom's cheating on him! Then, she'll have to believe me about the boys to keep me from squealing to him!" Candace started to laugh maniacally, but stopped when she sawTara glaring at him.

"Yeah, but there's just one problem. If your mom won't come here to see the evidence, how do you expect to bring the evidence to her?"

"Well...I'll just have to find another way out of this place."

"Yeah, but how?"

"Ferb, do you know what this means?" Phineas, now excited, asked his stepbrother? "Maybe this is one of those very few inventions that we're meant to keep! And I can see why. I mean, this thing can virtually stop time for us! Which means that we can complete as many projects as we want in just a single day! Just imagine what we could accomplish when time isn't an issue for us! It's just amazing!"

"And the best part about my newest creation is..." Dr. Doofenshmirtz grinned to his nemesis. "Even though the sun is going to set soon, and I haven't even begun to build a new "inator", it doesn't matter, because with this new device, I can have as much time as I need to do whatever I want, and you won't be able to stop me, Perry the Platypus, even if you do manage to break out of the trap that I set for you! You're through, and so is the O.W.C.A!"

"With this device, we could complete a week's worth of projects in just one day! And I could have all the time I want with my sweet Isabella! And all it takes is the simple push of a button..."

"To reek havoc all over the Tri-State Area! Say your prayers, Perry the Platypus!!"

And as if it was fate...fate trying to toy with everyone, Phineas and Dr. Doofenshmirtz both activated their devices at the exact same time...and by doing so, they have sealed the fate their world.

At the moment they activated their devices, they began to light up uncontrollably, confusing both Doofenshmirtz and they were both lit up, they started floating up into the skies as the Earth began to rumble. "Ferb...wh-what's happening?" Phineas shouted, dumbfounded with what he was seeing.

"Wait, wait, wait! What is going on!?" Doofenshmirtz shouted back at his lair. "Why is my watch floating off of my wrist like that?" Soon, both Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Perry, along with people around the Tri-State Area, could feel the massive "Earthquake" that was consuming the Tri-State."W-What's happening!?"

"It feels like an Earthquake!" Phineas shouted in Danville. The Earth rumbled harder and faster than any other Earthquake that had ever hit Danville. But if that wasn't the worst of their problems, soon both of the devices began to pull towards each other, glowing several different colors at once. "Hey, where's our stopwatch going!?"

Eventually, the two devices collided with each other, near Phineas and Ferb and in an orb of blinding light, made up of every single color imaginable, they created an explosion so powerful that it knocked Phineas and Ferb right off of their feet. It blew them back several feet into their home, causing them to suffer a mild concussion. Meanwhile, everything else around them was also hit hard from the explosion, and from the Earthquake it caused. The Earthquake would measure 9.5 magnitude, making it one of the most powerful Earthquakes Danville has seen in years.

The only two affected by the explosion, though, were Phineas and Ferb, and while everybody else around them was not directly affected by the explosion, they were hit hard by the Earthquake.

As for Phineas and Ferb? Well...

The next morning, they found themselves in their own beds, with their heads wrapped in bandages. It was 8:00 in the morning. THey looked around to see that nothing in their room was different. Still, Phineas had a bad feeling in the pit of his gut that there was something wrong.

Unfortuantely, this feeling was confirmed when his dad, Lawrence, or so they thought it was their dad, walked in on them. But he was wearing a pink, frilly apron instead of his usual clothes, and had a broom in one hand and a dustpan in the other. "Oh, you're up, boys." He said in a high, squeaky voice. "Your father and I were so worried about you."

Phineas and Ferb both exchanged confused looks at each other, and pinched themselves before turning back to their parental figure, unsure if they heard them correctly. "Um...dad? Are you OK?"

"Oh, you silly boys., Your father left for his seminar hours ago. It's just me, Laura Fletcher, your mother." Yes you heard him/her correctly.

"Laura!? Mom!?" Phineas shook his head in surprise before getting out of bed again and running up to the person that was standing by the door. He touched his apron a few times and looked up at his/her face. Sure, it was the same face he had grown to know and love as his father, but it sure as heck wasn't the same voice or the same personality. Something was wrong.

Ferb soon followed him behind and he too was shocked at what he was witnessing. "F-Ferb? You might want to cover your ears. This is going to be loud."

Ferb obeyed, and covered his ears. Soon Lawrence/Laura followed suit. Phineas took in a very deep breath, took one last look at the person he once believed was his father, and let out one, giant, loud scream, a scream that could be heard all across Danville.

To be continued...

Oh boy! A cliffhanger! When's the last time you've seen one of those from me!? Huh? Anyway

Next Time: I can't really give away the plot, mainly because I'm not exactly sure of one yet. But I can tell you that you can look forward to a secret agent Dr. Doofenshmirtz and an evil Perry the Platypus!

Expceted Update: Look anywhere after February 20th.
