Episode Four: From An Invention To A Decision, Part 3 (Conclusion)

All the kids stare in awe as they are now seeing a younger version of the older teen.

"She's...so cute!!" The Firesides exclaimed. They all, except Isabella, go and surround her. Then, Ferb sees her. Now her attention's on the green-haired boy. She blushes.

"H-h-hi, Ferb."

"Hi. What happened?" He asked.

"I don't know. I was hit by some beam...and now I'm a kid."

"We should probably come up with something to---" Then, Phineas remembered, "Wait a minute! Your dad's reverse-inator! We can use that to reverse the process."

"Um...before we do," she said nervously, "do you guys think...I could..."

"Why not?" Isabella said. "You let us stay as teens."

"Yeah. It'll be great..." Phineas added. "Am I right, Ferb?" He looks at Ferb.

"..."

"So...what do we do?" Little Vanessa asked.

"Better yet, what do I do?" Johnny said, still surprised to see his fellow goth in her youth. "I don't have a license to drive. How am I supposed to get home?"

"Ferb, the starter remote," Phineas recalled. Ferb gets the remote. "All right. Everyone in the car!" They all get inside. Ferb gets in the front.

"Wow! This is so awesome!" Irving said, giddy with excitement.

"You guys are gonna just leave that machine of yours in the backyard?" Johnny asked the triangle-headed boy.

"Why not?" He answered. "Then again, you may have a point...Irving, could you do us a favor?"

"Sure! Anything for you guys..."

"Great. Stay here and watch the machine..."

"Yes, sir!" He said, getting out the car.

"If you see Candace, let her try it out..."

"Right."

"All right, Ferb. Hit it!" Ferb controls the limo's turns and speeds using their starter remote. Johnny guides Ferb to his house. "Here you are."

"Wow. You guys are really something..." He goes to Vanessa in the back of the limo and kisses her cheek. Ferb watches, feeling a bit of pain in his chest, and Vanessa blushes a hot pink at the boy's sudden attack. "I'll see you later, Vanessa....hopefully, back to normal." He exits the car. So does Vanessa suddenly.

"Vanessa, where are you going?" Isabella asked. She walks to the passenger's side of the limo. She opens the door and sits down.

"Ferb, let's go." She commanded. Ferb takes them away.

Back at the Mayor's celebration, no matter how many times his bigger, evil-er (lol) brother fires at him, they've all missed their primary target. Then, the Mayor gets veryone's attention by tapping his glass.

"Thank you everyone for attending my celebration, and for making me look good..." He bellowed. Boy, did it piss Doof off. He fires another shot at his brother, but it reflects off the glass he was holding, reflected off the mirror from earlier. The beam went travelling towards the giant pair of glasses it reflected off before, but the glasses were slightly shifted due to the last beam that hit it, so there were people doing construction on the lens. The shifted the len hit by the first beam slightlyupward, when the beam reflects it at a different trajectory. Meanwhile, a baby platypus back at the DEI building has crawled towards the edge of the balcony, when the beam zapped him on contact. However, instead of becoming an egg, Perry was back to normal. He puts on his hat and looked at the reverse-inator. Being preventive of another one of Doff's pointless plans, he destroys it and jumps off the balcony, releasing his handglider to soar into the sky, remembering where Doof was heading, well, has headed. Perry's watch started to beep.

"Agent P," Monogram said, "It seems that you were not the only one Doofenshmirtz hit with his new age-inator. He has also zapped his daughter. I know you can handle this. We need you to first get that ray from Doofenshmirtz, then zap his daughter back to normal. We will give you her location." He nods in agreement heading towards City Hall.

"So where do you guys want to go?" Young Vanessa asked.

"Uh-uh. You're our age now." Addison said.

"She's right. We have to go by the oldest of us...so who would that be?"

"Well, Isabella (just made this up; not sure when exactly) was born in January..."

"So was I," (once again, made it up) Phineas said.

"I know." Isabella said, smiling, "But I am older by 6 days exactly. You were born on the 12th, I was born on the 6th. So I guess I'm in charge."

"All right then." Katie said. "Where to, Isabella?"

"Let's see..." 'We've been underwater, to Paris...' She thought. "How about the skating rink?"

"Yeah!" The girls agreed. Ferb sets course to the ice-skating rink.

Meanwhile, Candace's date with Jeremy is going great, when Candace starts feeling a familiar sensation... 'No...must...not...think...about...brothers...'

"Candace? You sure you're Ok?" Jeremy asked as they were going up a rollercoaster ride. Nervously, she nods. 'Brothers...in bustable mode...must not...give in...' Jeremy wraps his arm around her. "Better?" 'Haa...'

"Much." Just as she answered his question, the rollercoaster just went down.

"Here we are!" Phineas said. "Let's go skate." They all got out of the limo, with Ferb escorting little Vanessa out. They held hands as they walked in.

"Hello, everyone." The ticket man said. "Please tell me your skate sizes." Everyone gives their sizes. "Come right in. Your shoes will be ready shortly."

"All right." Phineas said. "Let's make this a great day for Vanessa before she has to be a teen again."

"Right!" Everyone agreed. Their shoes arrived and everyone slips them on to get on the ice. The Fireside Girls have already started, aligning themselves. They all got some speed going and then they all jumped in the air and spun around 1080 degrees to land on their left feet. They then moved away from each other, one half on one side, one half on the other, revealing Vanessa in a dark dress and Ferb with a black outfit as well, with a moustache. The duo skated together, synchronizing their every movement. Until they held each other as Ferb picks Vanessa up in the air, as she split her legs above his head. He spun around, making it more interesting. It caught the other skater's attention as they ceased their skating to watch. He sets her down, grabbing her arms and started spinning around again. Vanessa let her legs go off the ice and she's now flying. As she slowed, she lands safely, letting go one hand. Ferb spins her around...and around and around...and around. Vanessa then got dizzy and collapsed in Ferb's arms. The skaters roared as the duo was finished their performance.

"Are you all right?" Ferb said. They stare at each other.

"...Yes." She lifts her head up, about to kiss him, when he picks her up. "..."

"..." Both were speechless.

"Sorry I tried to do that...especially after telling you we can't be together..."

"..."

"I'm so lost right now...I like a boy who is not even in his teens, and then I like another boy who is my age..."

"You must choose him," Ferb said, looking sad. "You were right. No matter how we may feel about each other...we can't be..."

"...I think I'm ready to change back." she said. Then she looks around and notices two missing children. "Hey, Where's Phineas and Isabella?"

"Let's just continue. This is your day, remember? Don't go just yet...at least let us get some pictures with you." Gretchen requested. She pulls out a camera. "Ferb, would you please?" He grabs the camera. The girls all stood with little Vanessa. Ferb takes the pictures as the girls all posed differently. "C'mon, Ferb...time for your picture."

"....Ok." He gives Gretchen the camera.

"Girls, you know what to do." Gretchen instructed. "Smile, guys." Vanessa looks up at Ferb.

"You sure this is Ok with you?" She asked him.

"Why not? If we can't be together, all we have are memories..." He wraps his arm around her, bringing her closer. They smiled as Gretchen took the picture twice. She hands both Ferb and Vanessa the picture. "Are you ready now?"

"...Yes." Everyone left the rink, to the limo to see a person they didn't think they'd see. "Huh?"

"Irving?" Katie said. "What are you doing here? I thought you were watching the machine..."

"I was."

"That doesn't matter right now." Ferb said. "We have to get to your father's place to change you back."

"Right." Everyone got in as Ferb started the limo.

Rewinding back before they entered the skating rink...

After everyone gave their sizes and entered, Isabella gets Phineas's attention.

"Phineas," she called, puling him away from the gang. "Could we head back to your backyard?"

"Huh?" He's surprised. "Why?"

"I'd like to try the machine out..."

"Then shouldn't we call everyone else?"

"No...please...just come back with me."

"Well...Ok." The 'couple' snuck out the rink. They got in the car. "Wait, Ferb has the starter remote..."

"Don't worry..." Isabella goes under the steering wheel to hotwire the limo. She manages to get it running. "Ta-da."

"Wow...cool." He said. She blushed. "But who's going to drive us?"

"We don't need to drive. remember?" She goes to the back of the limo through the small window behind the front seats. She gets up and pushes the home button. "C'mon..." She gets out through the back of the limo, going to the front to get her heartthrob. They open the backyard gate.

"Hey, guys!" Irving greeted. "Back so soon?"

"Irving...could you do us a big favor?" Isabella asked.

"Sure."

"Could you take the car back to the rink?"

"How?"

"In the back of the limo, there's a 'return' button below the seat on the far left. It will take the car back to its last destination."

"Wow. Didn't even know you created a 'return' button..." Phineas said, surprised.

"Gotcha." He does as commanded and the car vanishes.

"All right, Phineas...let's do this."

"Let's?"

"Did you really think I would go through this alone? C'mon..." She grabs his hand, bringing them inside the machine. "Ok. You go first."

"We'll go at the same time..."

"How? There's only one chair..." Phineas pushes a button next to the big screen TV, bringing up another chair and chip from underground. "Ok...same time." He plants the chip on her head; she does the same. Both of them sat down and, knowing something would appear on the screen, looked at it. The screen splits in half. On both sides of the screen, were the same exact wish...the picture flashed back to the ride on the Ferris Wheel in France. As they both stared at the screen, they refused to look at each other...too embarrassed to look at their vision eye to eye to fulfill their wish. They watched as they actually kissed. Isabella steps up and holds his hand while they noticed how long the kiss lasted. Phineas looks at her. She notices his stare and looks at him.

"Phineas? You Ok?" He brought his head, and his lips, closer to her. 'We wants to...' She smiles, grabs his triangular head, shifting it slightly to the left, and puckered up. She kept her eyes open this time...and saw that she actually pressed her lips to his. Her eyes went to the back of her head as her lids closed, sealing the kiss. And just like their vision, the kiss went long. Two minutes later, she separates their lips and stared at her first kisser. "Phineas..."

"Isabella...wow."

"Yeah...wow."

"Does this mean we're..."

"...if you want to..." She said, secretly wanting it, but she wouldn't do it if he didn't.

"This would change everything between us, wouldn't it?"

"Well...sort of. Is that bad?"

"I don't know...I really like you, Isabella..."

"I like you, too...if you don't want to, Phineas...it's Ok."

"Do you want to?" Now the question has turned to her. 'I do...but...'

"I'm not sure, either," she lied.

"Isabella...I...don't believe you."

"Huh?"

"You do want this? Don't you?" He asked again. "Please be honest with me."

"...Yes. I want this." She said. "Now you be honest with me...admit it, that kiss we just shared..."

"I liked it...a lot, but I was being honest when I said I wasn't sure if I want this...if it means things will change dramatically between us."

"How about this? Let's try it for one week...starting tomorrow...Ok? If either of us change our minds, it won't happen, but if we do like the way things are going...we become boyfriend and girlfriend. Deal?" She pulls out her hand. He looks at it.

"All right, but no one can know about this agreement...NO ONE. Deal?"

"Deal." He shakes her hand. She suddenly kissed him again.

"All right then. I guess we can only wait until everyone comes back." They pull off the chip from each other's foreheads.

"Wanna come in for some food?"

"Sure."

Back at City Hall, Doofenshmirtz, who's primary mission was to turn his baby brother to a baby, actually enjoyed the festivities. Especially when Love Handel performed a song based on his brother's success. 'Liked the song, hated what the song was about,' he thought. Perry arrives incognito, wearing a familiar costume. He wore a lab coat his size and those phony glasses with the nose and moustache that comes with it. Doofenshmirtz notices the figure.

"You look familiar," Doof said. "You look like that temp..." Perry sees the age-inator ray in his hand. He also looked and noticed that the Mayor is still himself. When Doof set the ray down to get some snacks from the food table, Perry pulled the tablecloth, sending the ray gun off the table to the floor. He grabs it and runs. "Hey! Where are you going with my ray!?" He shouted, chasing after him. Perry takes off his disguise. "Perry the Platypus? How did you become normal again?" Perry pulled out his jetpack and blasted off into the sky. "Curse you, Perry the Platypus!!" As soon as he did, his watch beeped.

"Agent P, I take it your mission was once again a success. We have located his daughter. She is currently on her way to..."

***Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated!!!***

Ferb parks the car in front of the building. They all exit and go through the spinning doors. They take the elevator to the top floor. Vanessa pulls out a key and opens the door. They all entered to see a device destroyed.

"Oh no! The Reverse-inator! It's destroyed...that means I'll stay this way forever..." Perry noticed all the children from the air. With one hand, he holds his jetpack. With the other, he aims at Vanessa with the ray. He fires. The beam zaps her. "Huh?" Seconds later, she's changed back to her normal size, height and age. "I'm me!"

"Weird." Addison said, confused.

"Well done, Agent P. Another mission accomplished. You may now continue your vacation. Monogram out." Perry sets for home.

Meanwhile, at home...Phineas and Isabella are watching TV. Isabella takes his hand.

"Phineas? Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah."

"If this...doesn't work out, will we still be best friends?"

"Of course. Even if this does work out, we'll be best friends..."

"Phineas? Can we...go out?"

"You mean a date?"

"Yes."

"Ok."

"Really?"

"Yeah. We're a couple now, right? This is what couples do..."

"Ok..." Candace comes back from her date, noticing Phineas and Isabella holding hands.
'Phineas...aww, my little bro's got a girl...' She silently hides behind a wall, watching carefully.

"You know what else couples do?" Candace is shocked to hear that coimng from the Fireside leader. "They kiss."

"We kissed twice already." 'Already kissed twice!? Wow...go Phineas...' his sister thought. Jeremy and I haven't kissed each other once...'

"Just one more kiss..." She said.

"Ok." They just kissed for a third time. Candace saw it all. 'Wow...they're really kissing...'

Back outside DEI...

"All right, guys. Let's get you guys back to the house." They all entered the vehicle, and pushed the home button, sending them back to the Flynn-Fletcher's.

"Girls, we should get going." Gretchen said. All the little Firesides went to the backyard, leaving Ferb and Vanessa alone.

"I'll never forget this day, Ferb..."

"Me, either."

"I'll see you around..." Then, Ferb kisses Vanessa...on her cheek.

"Goodbye."

"...goodbye." He gets out the limo and Vanessa leaves. The Fireside girls knocked on the window door leading to the kitchen. It snaps Phinaes and Isabella out of their kiss, which Candace was still watching, shocked at how long they kissed. 'They kissed for three minutes straight...wow.' They got up and went to the door leading to the backyard. She opens it.

"Leader, may we be dismissed?"

"Dismissed!" She answered. The girls took off. One of the Firesides noticed a bummed-out Ferb.

"Hi." They said. "Ferb, you might not believe me when I tell you this, but you are very handsome...and if you managed to get an older girl to like you, you could get any girl." Ferb remembered Vanessa saying something similar to him.

"Thanks."

"No prob." The girl kissed his cheek and ran off. He's surprised by the sudden gesture and looked up to see no one. He gets up, feeling better. Candace then looks out the window door to see the boys' latest invention. She sneaks away to the living room and pulls out her cell phone.

"Mom, get over here now! While this giant thing is still in our backyard!"

"I'm on my way home now. I'm just around the corner."

"Perfect! As soon as you do just look at the backyard. That's how big the thing is!"

Suddenly Perry, who was still on his jetpack, pulled it off him, freefalling. Then he pulled out his glider and landed in the tree of his owners. He fell down the tree to the ground. Phineas and Isabella sees him.

"Oh, there's Perry." Phineas said.

"What's that?" Isabella asked, pointing at the jetpack Perry just pulled off his shoulders. The jet pack blasted into the device, sending the device upward towards the sky and it exploded. "Weird." Mrs. Flynn-Fletcher opened the backyard gate.

"Hey, guys."

"Hi, mom." Candace, hearing her mother's voice, ran out to see the device, once again, gone.

"Not again..."
