Chapter 2

"Well, my work here is done." Dr. D said. He marched to the kitchen. "Making thousands of kids' lives miserable is thirsty work." He got a soda from the Fridge. He looked at Perry.

"Yo, Perry the Platypus!" He went to him and offered. "You want one?" Perry was about to grab one out of the doctor's hand, then Dr. D withdrew it.

"Pysh!" He said. He went to sit down and laughed. "Man, it's GOOD to be king!" He sat in his armchair, and drank away. Perry went to strap on his jetpack.

True, kids will be sad about school extending all year long 24/7. But hey, it's school. Perry wanted his owners to have the best education they can. What could possibly go wrong? He flew on his transportation back to his house.

The next morning, Phineas woke with a start from the loud buzzing from his alarm clock. Ferb woke up to along with Perry.

"What time is it?" Phineas asked. He looked at his alarm clock.

"7:00?" he read. "Why so darn early? This is the start of summer, not school. What gives?" He looked at Ferb who shrugged.

"Maybe Mum got the memo." Ferb suggested. Phineas was puzzled.

"What memo?"

"You know the memo that said that the Mayer made school all year long." Phineas laughed a little as he got out of bed.

"Ferb, you do know that was a dream don't you? I mean we can't possibly have school all the time 24'7. That's ridiculous!" Ferb got out of his bed.

"Believe what you want." He said.

"I will! Don't worry; we can go back to bad. School's over until Septem…"

"Phineas, Ferb!" The boys' mom called from downstairs. "The School bus is almost here. Come on and don't be late." Phineas looked at his stepbrother. Ferb was about to say something.

"Don't!" Phineas interrupted. "I know. Come on, let's see what's this is about." The boys went downstairs. Linda had their backpacks for them.

"Mom, what're you doing?" Phineas wanted to know. The boys slid down the banister, and got off when done. They looked at their mom.

"Getting you ready for school dear."

"School?" Phineas questioned. "You must be joking mom; don't you know what today is?" Linda helped the boys slip in their backpacks.

"Of course I do." She answered. "It's time for you boys to go to school and have a good time." Phineas looked at her.

"Mom." He started. "It's June 3rd; the start of our summer. School ended yesterday. We don't have to be back until 104 days are up." Linda shook her head as a tear rolled down her face. She then hugged them.

"Hey, where's Candace?"

"She's already gone to School." She replied. "I had to literally pull her out of bed this morning." She hugged them tighter. "Oh, I'll miss you boys." She kissed them each on their cheeks.

"But mom…" Phineas started. He was interrupted by the honk of the bus.

"Here's the bus!" Linda pushed them gently outside. "Go on, learning awaits." Phineas looked at her again.

"Mom, we didn't shower or have breakfast yet."

"You will at school dear." They shrugged and left.

"See you when you gradate!" She waved as the boys got on the bus. Perry chattered goodbye on the front stoop.

"When we graduate?" Phineas wanted to know. "Mom, we'll see you tonight. We…"

"You'll understand later, bye!" They shrugged, and went to the bus.

"Bye Perry!" Phineas called to his pet as they boarded the vehicle. "Love you!" The bus drove away.

The platypus had horror in his eyes.

When they're 18? The Platypus thought. When they graduate? Well, school was 24/7 now. But still, they got to come home sometime. They had to come home for special occasions like Christmases, Thanksgivings, weddings, etc. There was no way they would keep them there until their adults, could they? The family would miss their kids terribly. Though he was an agent that could have a mission at any moment of the day, he always was exhausted yes, but he loves coming home, sharing hugs, and spending time with his owners. This could be worst then he thought. He better check it out. He went to the house side. His nemesis was evil, but not that evil! He had to check out what's going on before it's too late!

Perry, in his hover car, flew to Doof's apartment. He parked, locked it, and went inside.

When he was inside, he looked for his nemesis. He went in all the rooms searching, but there was just no sign of Dr. D in sight.

He was about to go he when he saw a note on the table. He went to it, picked up the note, and looked at it, eyes following every word.

"Dear Perry the Platypus," it read. "You are probably wondering where the heck is Doof, am I right? Well not to rain on your parade or anything. But remember how I expanded school all year long 24/7? Well, guess what? I hypnotized my Mayor brother so he could agree on the school thing. So then, now I'm principal of Dansville Elementary!" Perry's eyes went huge at that last sentence. Dansville Elementary is where Phineas and Ferb attended! He read on.

"So anyways, yeah; I'm at their school giving them their new schedules! The only bad news is, I have to stop being your nemesis in order for this to all happen. Perry grew sadder as he read on. "I'm sorry if this breaks your heart, wait, I'm evil, I don't care! I hope this massage shatters your heart into a million pieces! Mahaahaaa! P.S: With this power, the kids will eventually all be my henchmen and destroy you! Can you imagine, everybody, even you own owners will turn against you, and extermenate you once and for all, mahahahaaa! It's good to be king!"

Perry clenched his fist tightly, and dropped the note on the floor. He was serious. There was no way he'll let Dr. D get to Phineas and Ferb! His owners tried to kill him before because of evil force, and he won't let that happen again! His nemesis must be stopped. Quickly, the platypus ran and jumped into his hover car, started the engine, buckled up, and flew to Dansville Elementary.

The Mayor walked towards the podium in front of Dansville Elementary. Every kid that attended that school was there, talking with their friends and wondering why their summer isn't happening.

When Roger was at the podium, he motioned all the kids to stop talking. The kids slowly obeyed, and listened. All faces were on the Mayor as he began his speech in the mike.

The platypus landed his car just in time! He hopped out, locked it, and went to the bushes. He pulled it back so he could see his nemesis's brother. He began to listen.

"Kids of Dansville Elementary," He began in his hypnotized tone. "Now I know all of you must be extremely disappointed right now about having to attend school all summer long."

"Yeah!" The kids protested angrily.

"Now I have to remind you children, that school is important for your futures. Weather you want to be an Astronaut, a hospital doctor, or a video game designer; you have to go to school. Any job you can think of, you have to have a good education. People aren't always going to be there for you to teach you when you're on your own; so in order not to look stupid, you have to go to school when you're young. To impress your boyfriend or girlfriend, you have to have a good education. Even for your future kids, you have to go to school so they trust you. These things are why you go to school; to educate you so your futures will turn out right."

"This is bogus!" Buford blurted out. "I don't need this junk!" He was about to leave when the Mayor shouted, stopping him in his tracks.

"Hold it kid!" He shouted. "You will stay at school and that is final!"

"Nah! You're not my mom." The Mayor scowled.

"You will get detention kid if you don't shut your yap!"

"Eh, do it; I don't care. I got a billion detentions for beating up little kids, so I'm used to them. Go ahead, give me detention already!" Roger grew when madder. Phineas and Isabella hushed their friend.

"Don't!" Phineas pleaded. "Don't make him mad."

"Yeah!" Isabella added. "You're making him madder then he already is!" Buford gave in.

"Okay." He decided. "But he started it with his lame speech and all."

The kids paid attention again. The Mayor calmed down, and continued to speak into the microphone.

"Listen kids," He continued. "I give you my fsithful brother and your new principal; Dr. Heinz Doofensmirtz!" Everyone gave out disappointed awes as the Mayor let Dr. D take on the speech.

"New Principal?" Phineas asked. "Hmmm, I guess Mrs. Clayton quit after hearing school is all summer long."

"Lucky!" Buford said. "While she's on vacation, we're still in this dump. It's not fair I tell you, it's just isn't fair!" Buford crossed his arms madly across his chest.

"Greetings Students!" Dr. D greeted into the mike. "As your new principal, and since school is all year long 24/7 now, there going to be allot of changes." Dr. D got out a long list that almost went off the stage!

"Oh great!" Buford complained. "Here we go with his long spiral."

"Now first off, you will remain on school property until June of your Senyor year."

"WHAT?" All the kids wanted to know.

"That means, you all have to spend the rest of your childhoods here. No leaving until you graduate or you're be punished."

"But we have to leave sometimes!" Phineas protested. "We can't have school 24/7 every day, we have to be with our families, friends, and stuff."

"You can be with your friends here kid."

"No, that's not what I mean! Play with them outside of school! We're just kids, we need playtime. It's what being a kid is all about! If you take that away from us, we're never know who they really are deep inside."

"Kid, what's more important? Your future, or not having an education, and be dumb the rest of your life?"

"Well, future but…"

"Then that's settles it! You'll all do that stuff again, but not until you're a mature adult. You're stay here and like it! You'll spend every holiday in school, just not with your family until you get out of high school. Okay now, here's the list. You'll wake up every morning at 7, shower for 20 minutes, have breakfast for 20 minutes, and report for your homeroom at 7:45. If you're late…" The doctor continued his long speech. Every kid did not look thrilled that they will have to never go to their homes, and see their families ever again until they graduate.

Perry listened with interest. He looked sad. Oh my gosh! Linda wasn't kidding! At first he kind of liked this plan, but now he wasn't sure.

Maybe, he'll visit them tonight. Yeah, he'll do that. Doof can't force him not too; they are his family after all. What could go wrong? Perry hopped on his hover car, and drove it back to his house.

"This uniform stinks!" Buford complained. They were all wearing matching black T- Shirt with an image of a happy classroom. Underneath the picture, it read: 'Educating kids for their better future.' "This is so lame! Why do we have to wear this for the rest of our childhoods until we graduate?"

"Look on the bright side." Baljeet said. "At least it has a good massage." Buford glared at Baljeet. Baljeet shielded himself as Buford was about to hit him with his fist. He was stopped by an adult.

"Hey, what gives?" Buford commanded to know. "Can't I beat this nerd in peace?" The adult looked stern.

"Kid." He told him. We have a major policy here. No bulling allowed!" Buford rolled his eyes.

"That doesn't surprise me one bit." The bully said.

"I'm afraid you have to come with me to the Principal's office young man."

"That doesn't surprise me either." Buford and the adult went to the Principal's office. "Let's get this over with."

"We'll save you a seat at Breakfast!" Phineas called after Buford. Buford waved from behind him.

The kids then walked towards the cafeteria.

Phineas and friends got their breakfast, and sat down at a table together with other kid eating their breakfast and talking. Buford sat down then with his trey of food.

"So Buford." Phineas started. "What did the Principal say?"

"He said I need to stop bulling other kids or I get detention." Buford answered. He took a muffin of his trey. "The typical punishment for me." He bit a bite out of his muffin.

"So, what's the offence if you do it again?"

"A longer detention." Another bite out of his muffin. Phineas was about to add something when he was suddenly interrupted by the principal. He, along with the other kids all turned to hear Dr. D's anounsement.

"I'm now going to give my lecture on the importance of Breakfast." He spoke into the mike. The kids groaned.

"Now, I'm going to do this at breakfast everyday." He continued. Groans again. "But it'll of course be at 7:23, just today is different because of my speech. Now, Breakfast is very important. It gives you energy for the whole day. It is good for your body. It…" Doofensmirz continued on with his 20 minute speech.

"I thought he'd never finish!" Buford sad as they were done and heading for homeroom. "We know the importance of Breakfast, so why his dumb speech?" Phineas shrugged.

"Beats me!" He said. "But come on, or we'll be late for homeroom!" The kids all ran for their homeroom classes.

"Aw man!" Buford complained as the friends look at each other's schedules. "None of us has a single class together."

"At least we get to learn." Baljeet explained. Buford was about to hit him but stopped.

"Don't worry." Phineas reassured his friends. "We still get to see each other at bedtime."

"Yeah, that's true." His friends all agreed.

"So what do you say? See you all tonight?" He put out his hand.

"Yeah!" The kids agreed, putting their hands all on Phineas's, and withdrawing them.

"Okay, see ya tonight."

"See ya!" They all went their separate ways.

"Why are we still in school?" Phineas sang in an empty classroom. "Why do we still have to follow their rules? Why can't we enjoy our summer with our own? Oh why are we still in school?"

"Why are we still in school?" Isabella continued in her class. "Are we being punished? Did we act like fools? I just don't understand why are we still in school?"

"School may be good for our education." Baljeet sang when walking in the halls. "But even geneses like me need their vacation. All kids need to play. Not to be cooped up all day."

"I can't beat someone up." Buford sang. "I can't beat them to a pulp."

"With school all the time," Phineas sang. "We can't do things the way we planned. Our summer had totally faded away and met its prime. This should be a crime. Oh why, oh why, are we still in school?"

"Oh, why are we still in schoollllll?" The kids all sang from their locations in the building.

"Hey, get to class!" The adults screamed at them. The kids all stopped, and all ran to their next class.
