It took a little while, but the Flynn-Fletchers finally left Mr Birkenbake's garage sale. And fortunately (for Chloe, that is), they haven't bought the lava lamp. So, she went to the hippie teacher and bought the lamp quickly, before leaving with Timmy and their fairies to a less populated area.
Timmy checked his phone and read some new texts Candace has sent to them. Apparently, Team A has expanded to include a goth girl, a pharmacist and a robot, while Team Popular found Perry.
"I think we're far enough", Chloe stated, as she stopped walking. She was about to rub the lava lamp, before Timmy shouted: "Wait!"
"If what you want to say is along the lines of 'don't do it, you'll regret it', I won't listen", Chloe said slightly miffed.
"Not really", Timmy said. "I want to say, that if your third wish is granted, that you need to make sure the lamp is in closer proximity to Norm than our fairies."
"Why would that matter", Chloe asked.
"When the final wish is made, the closest source of magic gets sucked into the lamp", Wanda explained. "Usually, that's the genie from the lamp, but Norm had tricked Timmy in a way that Cosmo and I got sucked in instead."
"You don't want to know how stuffy it was in there", Cosmo said.
"Duly noted", Chloe said. "Don't worry, guys. I got this."
"We hope you got this..." Timmy said, him and his godparents and godbrother looking worried.
Chloe braced herself. She sat down, cracked her knuckles, and began to rub the lava lamp profusely. As she rubbed on the purple lamp, turquoise smoke began to emanate from it. Eventually, the smoke began to form a humanoid figure, and cleared up to reveal the figure in all his glory, having tanned skin, curly hair, ponytail, goatee, sunglasses, a cyan sleeveless suit, golden earrings and bracelets, and a wispy tail in place of feet, ending in the very lamp Chloe had rubbed.
"Wuzzat? Who turned the lights on", the figure asked. He then realized he had just been released temporarily from his funky prison, in what seemed like years. He turned around to see who freed him.
Much to his annoyance, his eyes first met Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda.
"Oh... It's you guys", the figure complained. "I was sure the last time we met, we both got sour tastes in our mouthes in the end, so it seems kinda ironic you need my help, of all the people you could choose."
He then noticed Poof. "Oh, who's this bouncy ball", he asked, attempting to pick it up with the intend to have it bounce around.
But Wanda yanked Poof away before the figure could do any potential damage. "That's our son", Wanda said. "His name's Poof."
"Really, puddin' pop, your son is a bouncy ball", the figure asked. "And ya decided to call him 'Poof'? That's so lame, I- sigh, whatever, let's get this over with." He turned to Timmy and said: "C'mon, Turner, whaddya waiting for? Don't leave me hanging, buddy."
A silence followed.
"Wait, aren't you supposed to grant the wished from the person that actually rubbed the lamp", Timmy asked.
The figure looked surprised. "Wait, I thought you rub-" Only now did the figure notice Chloe, clutching on his lamp.
"Oh, you rubbed the lamp", the figure exclaimed. "Greetings, little girl, the name's Norm, your genie for today! You get three wishes, exempt from those dumb fairy rules! That's right, you can wish for anything you want! Oh, by the way, like your hairstyle, looks futuristic. And by that, I mean it looks like such a mess it reminds me of the upcoming apocalypse. Here's a freebie wish."
Norm snapped his fingers and Chloe's hair returned to normal.
"Now what's your name, and more importantly, your first wish", Norm asked.
Chloe cleared her throat while putting the lamp down. "Uh, my name's Chloe, and actually, I want my first wish to be a test, of sorts. Can you wish me an English Breakfast... on a plate?"
Norm snapped his fingers, and in Chloe's hands appeared a sunnyside egg on a toast with OJ and bacon on the side... and actually all on a plate.
"Oh, man, I believe Turner made this wish too, except without the plate", Norm reminisced. "Guess he gave you a little crash course on Genies 101."
"Uh, only a little", Chloe said.
"Alright then, I can tell from your face that you want more than a test drive", Norm said. "So, what's your second wish?"
Chloe thought hard. She knew Norm would twist all her wishes in any way the less she specified, despite his demeanor.
"Well, some of our new friends have been kidnapped, and we don't know where they are", Chloe began, "so for my second wish, I want a working, fully charged GPS that can locate Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher. With different colors to indicate who's who, of course."
Norm snapped his fingers again. A GPS appeared in Chloe's hands. "Phineas Flynn's the red dot and Ferb Fletcher's the green one. So, what's your last wish?"
"Ummm... a shield that can bounce things thrown at it back", Chloe decided.
Norm raised his eyebrow. A strange wish, but he snapped his fingers anyway. Chloe was now holding a shield on her right arm.
Now that the three wishes were fulfilled, Norm had to act fast. He picked up his lamp and threw it to Timmy. "Here, catch this", he said.
But as he threw it away, he realized why Chloe wished for that shield.
As the lamp was about to pass Chloe, she held the shield up. The lava lamp hit the shield and bounced back to the genie who threw it in the first place.
"Oh, smoof", he muttered, right before the lamp hit in his face and began to suck him in.
"Seems like Turner gave you more than a crash course", were the last words Norm spoke before he got sucked in completely.
All that remained was the purple lava lamp.
"So, now that's done, let's check out our new GPS", Chloe said, as she turned it on. The GPS showed a map of the United States… and a lot of red and green dots.
"I was afraid of this", Timmy said. "When I made the wish of Trixie falling in love with Timmy Turner, Norm made her fall in love with any Timmy Turner. Now he gave you a GPS that locates any Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher! How are we gonna find our Phineas and Ferb?"
"I have to agree with Timmy", Wanda said. "How are you going to determine which ones are correct?"
"Oh, it's much simpler than you'd think", Chloe stated. "Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher aren't common names, nor are pairs with those names. All we need to do is zoom in on Dimmsdale and look for any red and green dots placed closely to each other, to narrow the results drastically!"
A silence followed.
"Chloe...", Timmy began. "That's... absolutely GENIUS!"
After a search through the map of Dimmsdale, Chloe reached to a conclusion.
"The only pair of red and green dots appear on the Dimmsdale outskirts on the east side", Chloe said, showing the GPS screen to Timmy. "I bet Phineas and Ferb must be there."
"I'll call Candace right now", Timmy decided. He took out his cellphone and called the number Candace gave him.
"Hey Candace, it's Timmy", he said. "We have a clue where Phineas and Ferb might be! You see, we got this weird GPS, and-"
Timmy suddenly heard a beep through his phone.
"She ended the call", Timmy told Chloe. "Didn't even speak a word."
"That's weird", Chloe said. "Why would she end the call?"
"Maybe Timmy used the wrong number", Cosmo said.
"If that's the case, then maybe I should try again", Timmy said.
However, before he could do anything, his phone buzzed. It appears he got a new text message from Candace. It read: 'ATTN All Teams: Meet us at the elementary school immediately. Team B (Timmy and Chloe) may know where Phineas and Ferb are!'
"So I did call the right number", Timmy said, at which point, Cosmo, Wanda and Poof returned to their bracelet forms. "Come on, Chloe, we can't let them wait."
"Alright", Chloe said, "but first..."
She placed the lava lamp Norm resided in on the shield, and stuck a post-it on the lamp, reading 'Do not rub'.
"We don't need it anymore", Chloe said.
"Are you sure we can leave it there in the open, Chloe", Timmy asked.
"Sure", Chloe said. "What could possibly go wrong?"
Later, at the Dimmsdale Elementary School, most of the other teams have reunited. Aside from Team B, Team Frenemy was lacking. There was a bit of awkwardness between Doof, Trixie and Veronica, the latter holding Perry.
"You know, that platypus you're holding looks, and sounds kinda familiar", Heinz finally said. "Are... are all platypuses named Perry?"
"In Phineas's perfect world, that would be the case", Isabella said.
Finally, Timmy and Chloe arrived, and so did Baljeet and Buford, who still held Irving.
"Alright, everyone's here", Candace announced. "So, Timmy, what clue did you find."
"Well, we found this high-tech GPS that can find anyone named Phineas and Ferb", Timmy began, "and we narrowed the results down to Dimmsdale and its surrounding areas. This area here is the only place around Dimmsdale that shows both of them, so we believe they're there."
Timmy showed the GPS screen to everyone.
"So... they're in the Dimmsdale Outskirts at east", Candace asked.
"BOOYAH! Buford got it right", Buford yelled to Baljeet. "Suck on that, nerd!"
"Can we do the boasting later, Buford", Baljeet asked. "We do not even know if they actually are there at all."
"Based on the documents we found in the Crocker Cave, and the fact there's no other red and green dots paired together around Dimmsdale, I'd say the chance is pretty big", Chloe stated.
"Yeah, we should at least try looking there", Isabella said.
"I agree with that", Trixie stated. "Don't you, Veronica?"
A silence followed. Veronica is nowhere to be found.
"Hey, where's Veronica", Trixie asked.
"Again, it's 'Where's Perry'", Buford said. "He's the one that's missin', after all."
"Buford, both of them are missing", Vanessa stated.
"Oh, great, where could they possibly be?" Candace asked.
Everyone looked around. Norm, the large man robot, looked upwards, seeing a familiar hovercar heading east.
"I THINK THEY MADE A HEAD START", Norm stated.
Author's Note: Isn't that confusing, having two Norms in one story, or even chapter?
Next chapter will begin a confrontation between Perry and Crocker. Will Phineas and Ferb be resued?
