*' '* Phineas's thoughts ' ' Isabella's thoughts * * Gretchen's thoughts
The next morning...
"So, Ferb, what should we do today?" They look at their blueprints and schematics. "There's so many things we could do...but we don't want to make robots again."
"Though the dancing was quite hip," Ferb added.
"Yeah...I just wish..." Then, "Wait! I got it!" Ferb looks at him. "Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today..."
Meanwhile, across the street, Isabella has called her friends up to have a private meeting.
"Girls, let me start by saying, this is NOT a Fireside Girl meeting," She started. They all look surprised.
"Really? Then what is it, Chief?" Addison (Brunette sans glasses) asked.
"This is a...girls meeting."
"A girls meeting? You mean when girls talk about..."
"That's right...this is a meeting to talk about anything other than collecting patches." All the girls gasp. "We are more than just Fireside girls, we're friends. So we're here today to talk about...BOYS." They all gasp again. "As I have told you all, Phineas, my very reason for life on this planet, has kissed me..." They all giggle. "And when Gretchen asked me...if I'm...in love with him..." Silence. "I...think I am."
"............................................................AHHH!" They all shouted to her in excitement.
"Congratulations, Isabella." The girls congratulated, until Gretchen asked another question, leaving Issa once again, speechless...
"Do you know how he feels about you?" All the girls went silent.
"She has a point...love, I heard, is a two-way street..." Katie added.
"Well, he did kiss me yesterday...and offered to have a romantic time while we were in Paris..."
"You guys went to Paris!?" The girls asked, shocked. "The city of lights and romantic capital of the world?"
"Yeah. And when we became teenagers, he looked so...manly."
"Teenagers!? Just what did you guys do yesterday?" The girls asked her, all curious.
"Ok. I'll tell you, but I need you guys to keep it a secret..."
"Firesides Honor!"
"Ok. We went to the very top of the Eiffel Tower and looked to see all of Paris. Then, we went to a carnival where we went on all the rides and ate carnival food. Then, Phineas won me this bear," she said, showing them the bear. "and then we went to a photo booth..." She pulls out the pictures. "And we took these."
"Wow. You look so beautiful as a teen, Isabella."
"And look at Phineas," Addison added, "I see why you blushed in this picture...if a boy like that suddenly wrapped his arm around me..."
"Phineas has the other two. And then we..." She paused, reminiscing back to that moment. The girls all stare in wonder as to what she is about to say next... "We almost...kissed...on the lips...twice."
"WHAT!?" They all looked more shocked than ever.
"We were on the Ferris Wheel..."
"Ooh...why, Isabella, you crafty girl, you..." Addison said, grinning.
"It was Phineas's idea."
"Whoa-ho-ho!" The girls giggled. "Please, coninue." She continued,
"He grabbed my shoulders...I closed my eyes...I felt his minty breath on my lips...I was about to faint...then..." The girls gasped. "...the ride was over and we had to get off."
"Aww..." The girls looked disappointed.
"Then, we tried again...I could feel it...our lips...were finally about to touch...then my cell phone goes off and we had to leave."
"Aww..." Another disappointment.
"That's when we got home and...he kissed me. It wasn't on the lips, but he did it."
"Haa..." They sighed.
"So, I am here to say that I, Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, am in love with Phineas Clyde Flynn." Then she looks at her clock. "And it's about time for me to go over there. Coming, girls?"
"Yeah!" They all went across the street to see what the boys were doing. When they all went to the backyard, they all stared in surprise as they saw a tall, igloo-like device.
"Wow..." They all looked in amazement. Suddenly, it opens. Two silhouettes are shown, revealing the two geniuses behind the invention.
"Hi, girls," Phineas said.
"Hiii, Phineas," They all said in unison.
"Whatcha doooooin'?" Isabella asked.
"Well, this is a dream machine."
"Dream machine?" The Fireside leader asked.
"Yeah. Come on in." They all enter the igloo-like device. "You sit in this chair," he explained, showing them the lounge chair. "You put this small microchip on your forehead, which will be linked to your brain." He shows them the chip. "You then wish for something, and depending on what it is, it will either appear on this table..." He shows them the circular plate. "Or on this screen." He shows them the giant 62-inch screen TV.
"Wait...how?" Gretchen asked.
"The microchip that is connected to your brain will also be linked with the table or the television," Ferb answered, "these aren't normal objects...however, what is revealed will only be hollographic."
"What about what's on the screen?" Isabella asked, curious.
"Well, what you see on the screen, depending on what you wished for, maybe a likely outcome, or just a fantasy your brain came up with."
"I see."
"So, who wants to go first?" Ferb raised his hand. "All right, Ferb..." He sits in the chair and Phineas placed the chip on his head. Ferb closes his eyes and...the screen turns on. "Looks like Ferb wished for a 'what if' scenario."
"A 'what if' scenario?" Isabella asked.
"Yeah. That's when you ask a 'what if' question and the screen creates a possible outcome. It can be good or bad...it's unprecedented." The screen displays Ferb, as an adult. Everyone, including Ferb, who just opened his eyes, watched as adult Ferb exits from Danville Airport. The screen then turns to an adult Phineas.
"All right, it works!" Both brothers clash their hands together. "All right, who's next?" Then, came a familiar sound. Ferb pulls the chip off his head and they all exited the machine. They all went to the driversisde of the stretch.
"Hi, everyone," Vanessa said, waving.
"Hi, Vanessa." Everyone greeted.
"Wow...what is that?" A familiar voice said on the other side of the limo... "That looks so sick!" On the other side of the limo was none other than Johnny.
"It's a dream machine. Wanna try it out?" Phineas asked him.
"Yeah!" He said, going inside. They all join him. "All right, what do I do?" Phineas instructs the goth boy as he gets situated. "All right! Let's do this..." Phineas places the chip on his head. Vanessa, who was hoping something would appear on the screen, with them in the picture...was disappointed when a spiky choker appeared on the circular plate. "That's awesome..."
"Can I try next?" Vanessa asked.
"Sure. Hop on." Phineas answered. Ferb was wondering what would happen...and boy, was he going to find out...
Meanwhile, Candace is on another date with her heartthrob, Jeremy...when she starts twitching.
"Candace?" Her 'boyfriend' asked. "You Ok?"
"Phineas...and Ferb-sense....tingling..."
"Calm down..."
"My brothers are always doing something bustable..."
"But you can never expose them, right?"
"Right."
"Do not worry about your brothers right now. We're here, we're together. Let's just have fun, Ok?"
"...you're right. Sorry about that."
"It's fine. Now, promise me you won't mention your brothers during our date..."
"...that's kinda hard for me..." Then, Jeremy kissed her cheek (Oh my gosh...he just kissed me! Ahhhh!!). "...(sigh) Ok."
"Great. Let's go."
The screen turns on...and Vanessa...is small?
She opens her eyes.
"Whoa. Vanessa, you're so short," Johnny said. Everyone continued to look as young Vanessa is running. The screen then plays a younger familiar face.
"Hey, it's your dad, Vanessa..." Phineas remembered. Vanessa watched in surprise as he held her and she started crying.
"Aww..."
"You Ok, Vanessa?" Her crush asked.
"(sniff) Yeah..."
"Would you like a closer relationship with your father?" Ferb asked her. She looks at Ferb.
"If he wasn't so concentrated on---"
"Hey, where's Perry?" Phineas asked.
"Kinda late asking that, don't you think?" Isabella said.
"...Yeah."
Perry, who was still on vacation, suddenly received an urgent call from his boss.
"Good day, Agent P. I really hate to cut your vacation short, but it's Doofenshmirtz. He's come up with some ray-inator. We're not sure wha it does, so infiltrate his lair, and put a stop to it." Perry salutes, putting his hat on. He opens the door to the backyard, pulls out a remote and he is immediately in his hovercraft. He flies up into the air.
"I think we can help you and your dad become closer...if you want." Ferb said.
"No, that's Ok. We're doing fine just the way things are. My father isn't usually one for helping anyone except himself...so when he decided to help you guys change back to your normal ages, I saw a different, but familiar side to him."
After only a couple of minutes, Perry makes it to...
***Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated!!!***
He takes the elevator to the top floor and opens the Doof's front door, suddenly triggering a robotic hand, wrapping the semi-aquatic mammal in cable wire.
"Perry the Platypus? I thought you were on vacation..." He looks at the mammal's angry expression. "...I'm guessing from the way you're looking at me that you were on vacation...and because Major Monogram is aware of my new -inator...you had to cut your vacation...short. Well, anyway, here it is." He said showing him. "The age-inator ray-inator!" He looks at Perry. "I know, I created an age-inator before, but this one is portable. And, I still have my reverse-inator in case what happened with the first one happens again. Anywho, my plan is quite simple, actually. I will use my ray to zap my brother...into my 'little brother'...then they will be no one to run the Tri-State Area! That's when I'll come in with my campaign and have everyone voting for me to replace him! Ha ha ha!!" He looks out on his balcony. The secret agent follows. "He's supposed to have a party celebrating his second year as Mayor. That's when I'll get him...here, Perry the Platypus. You're going to be my first subject!" Perry, wrapped up tight in cable wire, was zapped with the ray...transforming him into a baby platypus. "Ha ha ha ha!! Now, NO ONE can stop me!!" He leaves his room to crash a special party.
How will Perry the Platypus stop Doofenshmirtz now? Find out later in the story...
Back to Candace on her date...Jeremy is hurling into a garbage can.
"Maybe we shouldn't've ate before we went on that ride," Candace concluded, not looking too good herself.
"Yeah...and the name of the ride should've tipped us off."
"...Let's ride it again!"
"Ok!"
Back in the backyard, all the Fireside girls, one-by-one, tried out the dream machine...and, Johnny tried it again.
"Awesome!" He said again.
"All right, Phineas. Isabella. You're the only ones left," Vanessa deducted.
"Actually, I'd rather not," Phineas said, surprising Isabella.
"Are you sure?" She asked him.
"You go ahead, Isabella." Now she's on the spot.
"Um...I don't think I wanna go, either."
"C'mon, guys. We all did it..." Addison said. "Or are you guys hiding something?"
"What? What would make you think such a thing?" Isabella bellowed.
"If you have nothing to hide, then..."
"Guys!" A voice suddenly called out. They all turn around.
"Hi, Irving." Phineas greeted.
"Guys, this is incredible! Can I try it?"
"Sure. Knock yourself out." Phineas instructed him on how it works. 'Phew. Saved by Irving,' Both Phineas and Isabela thought, remembering what happened yesterday. They all looked at Irving's wish on the screen. Isabella and Phineas snuck out the device unnoticed. Vanessa notices and walks out with them.
"Guys, just what happened yesterday?"
"Nothing," they said simultaneously, blushing.
Doofenshmitz is now at the Mayor's celebration, uninvited, of course. He sees his brother eating some appetizers next to a mirror. He pulls his new machine out from his lab coat pocket, aimed...
POW! Too bad the ray missed the Mayor and reflected from the mirror and beamed outside the building, reflecting off a guy wearing huge glasses, reflecting off a mirror from an airplane, reflecting off the window at the top of the DEI building, beaming right towards the boys' backyard. So instead of hitting his brother, it hits...
You guessed it, his daughter. Phineas and Isabella watched as she got smaller.
"Vanessa...you're..."
"A kid." Everyone walks out.
"Vanessa?" Johnny said, surprised. "Is that you?"
