Part 2

"Bu….Bu…Bu…Bu…Bu…" Candace muttered.

"Come on Ferb!" Phineas encourged his stepbrother. "Let's go online and find some suitable songs for teenagers!" Ferb nodded in agreement, and the two rushed to their room.

Candace was still muttering to herself when all of a sudden she heard a loud rip, and a big tug. She looked down on gasped. Mitzy was biting on her dress!

"Off little beast!" she shouted at the poodle. "Off you!" The dog obeyed, and jumped off. Candace gasped when she noticed the dog had a piece of her dress in her mouth.

She looked at the mirror, and gasped again. Her dress was ripped all over! The teenager looked like she was going to cry. Suzy pretended to look mad at her dog.

"Bad dog!" She pretend scolded. "Bad, bad dog! You ruined Candace's Prom!" Mitzy dropped the piece in her mouth, hung her head, and whimpered ashamed. Then the girl looked at her babysitter.

"Gee Candace." Suzy said. "I'm sorry about what happened. I didn't mean it. I..."

"Oh SHUT UP!" Candace screamed in the little girl's face. "You did so mean it! You're a little devil monster and always will be! You wanted me far away from your brother, even for the Prom. Well, YOU GOT YOUR WISH!" She ran off crying.

"Candace I…" Suzy started. Jeremy called from outside.

"Suzy!" He called. "I got ice cream sandwiches waiting in the car!" Suzy then piped up.

"JEREMY!" she cried happily. She bolted outside, followed by her dog.

"Oh hi Candace." Jeremy greeted when he saw her. "Ready for pr…" She then noticed her crying. "Candace, what's the matter? Why are you crying? If it's anything, I'm here for you." Candace looked at her boyfriend. This made her even sadder. She couldn't think of another word to say, so she just ran crying to the backyard.

"Candace."

"JEREMY!" Suzy hugged her brother. "Thank goodness; I missed you so much!" Jeremy looked puzzled at her sister.

"Suzy!" He started. "Did you do something to Candace that made her really upset?" Suzy ran for the car.

"What? No way!" she lied. "Let's eat our ice cream sandwiches before they melt!" She bucked herself, and unwrapped her dessert, and took a bite.

Jeremy sighed, got in the driver's seat, closed the door, started the engine, and drove away.

"Finally, I'm done!" Dr. D shouted as soon as he was finished. He jumped out of his seat, and held up his finished fuzzy pink dress. It looked like a sweater. It was a pink, fuzzy, itchy, old dress sweater! "It took me 3 hours, but I'm finally finished! And I got my hand stuck in the feeding thingy nine times, but I'm done. WHOO-WEEE!" He showed off his masterpiece.

"Think she'll like it Perry the Platypus?" he asked. "After this she'll call me the 'best dad ever', what do you think Perry the plat…?" He then looked where Perry was sitting, and noticed that the agent has fallen asleep, book in his lap; he was snoring.

"Perry the Platypus!" Dr. D then looked mad. "Wake up! Nap time's over, and it didn't even start. I didn't say you can snooze while I worked, wake up!"

The platypus immediately woke up. He looked down at the book in his lap. Reading about Prom, teens, and fashion must've made him sleepy and eventually, fall asleep. He never felt so embarrassed. He smiled guilty at the doctor. The doctor tried again.

"Let's try this again." He said. He held it up. Perry got out of his chair, and came for a closer look. "What do you think huh? She'll adore it won't she? She'll say it's the cutest dress ever right? Come on Perry the Platypus, I need your input here pronto! My hands are getting tired of holding this!" The platypus looked at him. He chattered.

"Oh thank you!" Dr. D cried putting the dress down by his side. "I don't know what you said, but I know it was positive, right?" The platypus looked unamused at him.

That's not at all what I said! I said the dress was perfect… for a teddy bear tea party! This is the Prom, not a silly girly tea party! I spent over three hours on that chair just so I can give you input on your silly lame finished product? This was my easiest mission ever! Seriously, that's the best you can do? You really need to get your priories in order. Sheech, I may have been sleeping most of the time but I remember reading on what to wear, and fuzzy dress sweaters aren't one of them!

"Just think." Doof said, hugging the dress. "When Vinnie sees the dress, she'll say 'oh daddy! I love you! You are the best! Thank you, now I can go to the Prom, knowing my dad did something nice for me. Thank you so…"

Then Doof's apartment door opened. It was Vanessa! Quickly, Doofy hid the dress behind her back as Vanessa approached.

"Vanessa, so nice of you to drop by!" He looked her up and down and gasped. She was wearing the velvet sparkly dress that Candace couldn't afford.

"And I see you picked out a dress already." Her father complimented. "It's very lovely." Vanessa twirled around

"Gee Dad." She said. "You really think so?"

"Yeah!" Dr. D said. "I do! No boy can resist you now; you were born to wear that dress! You're stylin' girl!" Vanessa laughed a little, and hugged her father. Dr. D smiled, and hugged her back.

"Thanks dad! Thanks for not going overboard with this Prom by sowing me a lame dress!" Dr. D laughed to himself.

"Yeah!" Vanessa then released herself.

"Well I'm going, bye dad!" She went for the door, and twirled again. "Johnny will love me in this dress!" She opened the door, and departed.

Perry looked at his nemesis that looked like he was going to cry. The doctor looked at the platypus agent.

"Oh no!" He told the platypus. "I'm not going to end this with tears. No way! I don't care that Vanessa picked out a dress lovlier then mine. I…or who am I kidding?" The doctor sat down, dress in hand, and cried in his lap. The agent mammal went beside him to comfort the sad doctor. The platypus patted the doctor's back gently with his hand.

"I spent three plus hours sowing that dress for her." He sobbed. "She didn't even look at the dress I made her but I'm sure she would've hated it. I'm a total failure Perry the Platypus." The platypus continued to pat his nemesis's back consoling him, while the doctor cried and cried.

Dr. D looked at the platypus and offered him the dress. "You wouldn't mind wearing the dress to mend my sprits would you Perry the Platypus?"

The animal agent then went to get his jetpack. I'm out of here! He strapped on his transportation, and flew away out the window. Dr. D came to where he took of, and shook his fist angrily.

"That was extremely rude of you Perry the Platypus!" He called. "Leaving your nemesis with a broken heart like this. Let's see how you like it the next time your heart gets broken, and I'll just walk out on you! CURSE YOU PERRY THE PLATYPYUS!" He continued to cry as Agent P flew away.

Linda saw her daughter crying in the backyard on the nighttime grass. She went by her, and sat down.

"There, there Candace." She comforted her. "What's ever the matter?" Candace looked at her, and stood up.

"Mom, just look at me!" Candace cried. Linda looked at her daughter.

"Oh dear!" she said. "Candace, what on earth happened to your dress?"

"Suzy purposely spilled grape juice on me, and her devil dog tore it up! I can't show up to Prom looking like this. One look at it and Jeremy will never talk to me again!" She sat back down depressed. "Oh, I'm a total failure!"

"Don't say that dear!" Linda scolded. "No one's a failure in this family!" Candace looked at her.

"Yes I am mom!" Candace protested. "I can't show up in this dress. I'll be the laughing stock of the whole special night. I'm hopeless!"

"Honey, you don't need a dress to look pretty."' Candace looked at her mom again.

"What are you talking about mom? That's what Prom is all about! Looking pretty to impress your date, spending time, and go dancing with him!" Linda shook her head.

"Sweetie, true beauty lies from within. Remember, it what's on the inside that counts, not the outside."

"Yeah, but…"

"Don't mind what others think/say about you. The point is just have fun, and be yourself. Jeremy will just love you for that." Candace sniffed.

"You really think so mom?"

"Think so? I know so!" Candace cheered up, and knew that she was right. She stood up determined.

"Hey, you're right! I can just be myself, and everything'll turn out fine." Linda nodded in agreement. The teen hugged her mom; Linda did the same for her.

"Thanks mom!" Candace said. "You always have great advice. I always love this parent to child talk; it's always so emotional!" Candace then released herself.

"That's always the job for the parent." Linda told her. "To talk it out, and give out important advice to their kids when they're sad. It's what good parenting is all about." Candace then headed towards the house.

"I'm off to prepare for tomorrow!" She said, and then departed inside of the house.

Linda smiled, stood up, and went into the house with her daughter.

The next morning, the family was all at the table eating Fruity Pebbles. Perry was eating his morning fish from his pet bowl. When Candace was done, she wiped her mouth, and excused herself.

"I'm going to Stacy's to help her get ready for Prom." She declared, kissing her parents goodbye. She headed for the door.

"Bye, love ya!" Her parents and the boys waved to her as she left.

"Bye sis!" Phineas called, and then looked at her stepbrother.

"Shoot Ferb!" He said. "We forgot to show Candace the songs we picked for tonight."

"She can hear them at the Prom." Ferb assured his stepbrother, "They're be our surprise for her."

"Yeah." Phineas agreed. "Candace will be so surprised at the songs we picked. We'll be the best little brothers a sister could ever ask for." They continued eating.

That night, Candace was in her dress she wore to her aunt and uncle's wedding, her hair all in a poufy puff and on her head, a light purple tiara, the way they were at the wedding. She has gone home to dress before the big night.

The teen was looking for her date in the big gymnasium past the other teens and their dates. Sadly, he was no where in sight. She sighed.

"Guess he's not coming." she said. "I went to this Prom for… She looked down at the floor sad. "nothing." She was about to go home when she heard Jeremy call her name.

"Candace!" Jeremy called. Candace looked up and saw Jeremy among the crowd. She grinned happily. "Yo Candace, over here!" The orange haired teen went to her date.

"Jeremy!" She said happily. "You made it!"

"Yeah, I did." He said. "Sorry about the little delay. Suzy didn't want me to leave."

"Typical." Candace responded.

"Yeah." Jeremy agreed. "You know how little kids are sometimes. Never want their older brother/sister to leave. So, want some punch?"

"That'll be swell." So, the two got some punch. They talked as they had some.

"So, I hear your stepbrothers are going to be the DJs." Jeremy said. "That's pretty cool huh?"

"It sure is!" Candace faked an agreement.

"So, nice dress."

"Oh thank you! It's the dress I wore to my aunt and uncle's wedding."

"Really? Well you look lovely in it." The two drunk their punch.

"Greetings teenagers!" Phineas spoke into the mike at the DJ station. He and Ferb were dressed as DJs, with their glittery necklaces. Their friends were with them. "I'm Phineas Flynn, this is my stepbrother, Ferb Fletcher, and these are our friends; Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford. The friends waved as their names were called.

"We're you DJs tonight because the other DJ got sick, so we'll be filling in for him. We'll also Candace's brothers." Everyone cheered as the spotlight shone on Candace. She bowed for them. The spotlight went away.

"Now you may say we're too young to be DJs for a Prom, but it was your principal's idea. To make it clear right away; yes, yes we are too young. But it's for our sister, and we'll do anything for her because we love her and think she's the best." Everyone awed at that. Candace smiled at Phineas as he winked at her with engorgement.

"Okay everyone." The boy spoke in the mike. "Get your groove on 'cuz, it's party time!" Everyone cheered as they stated to dance to the music.

The songs that the boys picked were: 'One in a Million', 'I wanna Know You', and 'He could be the One' by Wilma Whyomy, 'Forever Young' by Alphaine, 'Kissin' U' by Miranda Cosgrove, 'You Belong with Me' by Taylor Fast, and many others.

"Isn't Prom great guys?" Phineas asked while the songs were playing. "It's so romantic and stuff. Our sister seems so happy with Jeremy. I can't wait for our Prom." Isabella sighed dreamily.

"Neither can I Phineas!" she said dreamily as she swayed back and forth. "Neither can I!"

"I'm going to ask Wendy for my future Prom." Baljeet said. "Her or either Mishti if she comes back from India."

"Lame!" Buford complimented. "I'm not going to Prom ever!" Baljeet looked at him.

"You may not think so now." He told the bully. "But in a few years when the time comes, you might change your mind when you see that one special girl of your dreams." Buford looked mad at Baljeet, and grabbed him by his shirtcollor.

"Love is for sick puppies like you!" Buford said. "I'll never fall in love, never!"

"Okay." Baljeet grinned nervously. "Whatever you say." Buford put him down.

"That's better." He said.

"You look so pretty tonight." Jeremy told Candace as they danced.

"You too." Candace complimented.

"I don't think I want to be with anyone else but you tonight."

"Yeah, me too."

All of a sudden, Jeremy did something to Candace that she thought she'll never receive from him before. The teen boy kissed her on her lips! Candace couldn't believe it, her first kiss from someone she loves besides her parents!

Candace gave thumbs up to Stacy who was with Coltrane. Stacy returned the thumbs up with her own.

All the teens/young adults kept dancing through the night.

"Candace, did you have a nice time at the Prom?" Her mom asked as she went in the door when Jeremy dropped her off.

"Yeah." Candace told her as she closed the door behind her. She went to the

Windows, and pulled back the curtains, and looked out. She saw Jeremy as he waved goodbye from his car, and drove away. She aired kissed him goodbye.

"Yeah." She repeated to herself. "I had the best Prom of my life."
