Episode Six: With Good & Evil, Can Love Ever Prevail? Part 1
Day 3
Candace has grabbed her mother from her car to try and show another one of her brother's many accomplishments.
"This time, they built a multiplication machine," The redheaded girl bellowed.
"That doesn't sound so bad," her mother assumed.
"A machine that can multiply people!" She shouted, still carrying her towards the clear-view back door."As of right now, there are hundreds of Phineas's and Ferbs in the backyard!"
"(sigh). Of all the times you've brought me to, how you say, 'bust' your brothers, this has to be the most silliest excuse."
"But it's true, I tell you!" She claimed, sticking to her story.
Meanwhile at DEI...
"Ahem! My theme music?" The doctor asked.
***Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated!***
"Thank you. Now...just two more days and my eeeevil plan will be complete! Ha ha ha!" He maniacally laughed, as he rose his arms up, his elbowa, pressing the buttons on prior inventions of his. "Oops...set off my evaporatinator and anti-replicator...inator. Eh, doesn't matter. While I'm waiting for Phase 1 to finish, time to take a little break." Doofenshmirtz sits in on his recliner and turns on the TV and sees a commercial about the Danville Museum. "Is that what I think it is? No, it can't be...well, may as well check it out." Doof has left the building.
Meanwhile, back in the backyard, after the effects of the evaporatinator and anti-replicator...inator...
"See?" The teenager said, trying to prove what she saw to the authority.
"Hi, boys." Mother Flynn-Fletcher said.
"Hi, mom," Phineas said, waving at her mother. Ferb waves as well.
"Now, what's this about a multiplication machine?" Candace turns around to see one Phineas, one Ferb and no multiplication machine.
"(sigh) Just forget it..." Candace leaves and Phineas's phone goes off.
"It's Isabella." He answers.
**
"Hello?"
"Hi. I was wondering about our date..."
"Yeah? You know, it's still pretty early. We could go now, if you want..." No response. "Isabella? Isabella? Hello?"
Seconds later, the boys' gate opens to reveal Isabella. Before Ferb could speak, Isabella grabs her BF and dashes off t o the toy store(ep. 5). "She's fast," Ferb said, looking around. "Hey, where's Perry?"
Meanwhile, in Phineas and Ferb's room, Perry lies asleep peacefully until it was interrupted by an alarming sound from his watch. The platypus wakes up in shock and transforms into his other form, looking at his watch.
"Agent P, this is an emergency!" 'Monobrow' said with utter importance. "Doofenshmirtz has been quiet...too quiet. He has attended the Danville Museum, but no occurences have been reported. He's also been to the blueprint store, but the clerk informed us that he has not bought anything. We need you to check and see what he is up to...which seems to be nothing, but if it is something, put a stop to it." The mammal salutes and opens the window, jumping down onto the backyard ground. He pushes a button on his watch, forming an opening beneath him. As he falls through a tube, leading to his underground HQ, he pushes another button, igniting his hovercraft as he lands inside and takes off through another tube leading to the surface.
At the toy store, the couple is looking around the shelves.
"Hey, check this out!" Phineas said, pulling down a toy. "It's our Perry the Platypus Inaction Figure."
Speaking of Perry...
***Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated!***
Perry crashes through the doctor's window. Doof turns around in shock.
"Perry the Platypus! What are you doing here? I don't have anything evil planned today if that's why you're here..." Perry gives Doof his serious 'I don't believe you' look. "So I guess Monobrow told you where I went today. I'm sure that's invasion of priacy... Anywho, there was something interesting at the museum that looked familiar to me...my very first inator was there. So I was thinking, how did that happen? Then I remembered that I had no use for it, so I donated it to the museum. Then, when I went to the blueprint store, I did have somehing evil in mind, but they didn't have the blueprints for it, and I don't feel like making one up, so, long story short, no evil today." The agent looked convinced. "Thanks for stopping by, though." Perry shrugs and leaps out the window he came in and glided off on his handglider.
Back at the toy store...
"Look at what they have..." Issa said, showing her man. "It's The Beak."
"Good times." Isabella kisses her pointy-nosed partner on the cheek. "Huh? What was that for?"
"I never gave you your superhero kiss for saving me..."
"You would've done the same for me." 'Oh, Phineas...' she thought. Phineas looks at his watch. "We should get going. The store will be closing soon."
"Ok." He grabs her hand and they walk out the store. "Can we go somewhere else before we head back home?"
"Of course. How about a movie?"
"Well, there was this movie that just came out..."
"Let's go."
***Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated! In the evening...***
"Just one more daaaaay..." Doof grin wickedly, looking at the substance he created, now instead of a black color, it is now red.
The couple quickly hurried home because it was too dark out. Phineas takes his girl to her home and kisses her goodbye. He walks across the street and enters his house.
Day 4
At the Garcia-Shapiro's house, Isabella and her fellow Firesides are all in her room.
"So how was your date with Phineas?" Gretchen asked her leader.
"It was wonderful. So when are you gonna tell Ferb, Mary?"
"He does seem Ok now...but what if he rejects me?"
"I thought Phineas would reject me, too, but after our first date in Paris, on the ferris wheel, when we almost kissed, I knew he would, at least, give us a try. I think Ferb is the same way."
"I...hope you're right." Mary said, still a little nervous.
At the Flynn-Fletcher household...
"Mom!" Candace called out. Her mother walks into the living room from the kitchen.
"What is it, Candace?"
"Jeremy's coming over, and I just want to remind you..."
"I know, I know. No pictures, movies or speaking in such a way it will lead to total embarrassment."
"Great!" She said. The boys slide down the stair rails. "Hi, boys."
"Morning, Candace," Phineas spoke.
"How was your date?"
"Huh? What are you-"
"You guys can't pull the wool over my eyes...I know that you and Isabella are together, and that you two went out...together."
"It's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's cute you have your first girlfriend...and at your age."
"What's this I hear about Phineas having a girlfriend?" Their mother said, quickly entering the living room. "Is it true, Phineas?"
"It's true, mom." His mom looked eccentric.
"How are you guys? How long has it been? How many dates did you go on? When is the wedding? I'll call up the family and-"
"Mom, please...calm down. We're sort of doing a trial-and-error type thing."
"I don't understand..."
"We've decided to see if we can stay this way for one week. If we do, we'll be official. If not, we just stay best friends."
"Oh..." Mother Flynn-Fletcher said.
"So what was with you guys kissing on the couch?" Candace asked, shocking everyone in the room...even Ferb.
"You...eavesdropped on us?" Phineas said, feeling more embarrassed than before.
"You two have kissed?" His mom asked. "My little boy's all grown up..."
"I can't believe it..." A glum Phineas walks back up the stairs, everyone else watching him leave as he goes bak to his room. Ferb and mom looked at Candace.
"What?"
"You peeped on them? Candace Gertrude Flynn, I am VERY disappointed in you." With that being said, her mother walks away, ashamed of her daughter. Ferb runs up to his brother. 'Nice going, Candace,' she thought to herself. She runs up behind Ferb.
Back at the Garcia-Shapiro's...Isabella gets a phone call...
**
"Hello?"
"Hi. It's me."
"What's wrong? You sound...gloomy."
"Candace...she saw us..."
"What?"
"She knows...now my mom knows, too..."
"Phineas, I don't see the problem..."
"Candace saw us..."
"Oh...you mean when we..."
"Yeah." Ferb walks in.
"So does this mean...we're...over?"
"...No."
"Huh?"
"I've really enjoyed our time together...we're still on."
"Great! Do you want me to come over?"
"That's Ok. I'll be fine."
"I really hope you do get better. I don't like to hear you unhappy."
"Me, either."
"Goodbye."
"Bye."
**
"Hey, Ferb."
"Yeah, that was Isabella..."
"No, we're still together..."
"Thanks, Ferb." Then, Candace knocks on the door.
"Phineas? Can I come in?" She asked.
"Sure." He answered still sad. She enters their room and Ferb leaves out for a bit. Candace sits down next to her brother.
"Phineas...I'm sorry for embarrassing you like that."
"...I know you didn't mean it."
"And for eavesdropping on you guys...I was just so surprised you guys did that so young..."
"I'm really happy for you guys...and...a little envious..."
"Huh? Why? You have Jeremy..."
"Yeah, but we...haven't...kissed yet."
"Oh..."
"Anyway, I promise never to do that to you again..."
"Thanks, Candace." The siblings embrace each other when their mom calls,
"Candace! Jeremy's here!"
"I gotta go. I'm rooting for you guys..." She leaves out of the boys' room. Just then, Phineas receives another phone call.
**
"Hello?"
"Hi, Phineas. This is Mary, Isabella's friend."
"Hi, Mary. How may I help you?"
"Is Ferb there with you?"
"Not right now, but I can go get him."
"Thanks." Phineas walks out his room and finds his brother downstairs in the backyard, resting against the tree. "Ferb, you got a call."
"...Hello?"
"H-h-h-hh-hi, Ferb."
"Mary?"
"H-h-h-hh-how did you know it was m-m-mme?"
"Your voice."
"Oh. Well, I was w-w-w-wwondering if you'd like to..."
"Yes?"
"Y-y-yyou know...hang out sometime?"
"Ok."
"R-r-rreally?"
"When?"
"Tomorrow?"
"Ok."
"Ok! Bye!"
"Bye."
**
"So what happened?" Phineas asked.
"Mary wants to hang out."
"Oh. That's cool. When?"
"Tomorrow."
"I guess we can reschedule that huge project to Saturday. That gives me a day off."
"!" A loud voice shouted out.
"That sound...must be Baljeet." The boys race to the A+ student's home. When they knocked on the door, the sound ceased. "Baljeet...Baljeet!" He opens the door. "What's the matter?"
"Something strange happened..."
"What do you mean?"
"You guys didn't feel it?"
"Feel what, Baljeet?"
"It felt like a slight change in the time-space continuum."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Remember that project I had with the pizzasium infinionite?"
"No...what's pizzazium infinionite?" Phineas asked.
"That's exactly it! You guys don't remember because it didn't happen!"
"Ok...so what's the problem?"
"The problem is...IT DID HAPPEN!"
"It did?"
"Yes! Come." He takes the brothers to his closet...his trophy closet. "Behold, my life's treasures."
"Whoa. That's alot of trophies..."
"Now notice here." He said, pointing to an empty space. "This was where my ribbon from the Science Fair was..."
"Wait, let me get this straight..." Ferb said. "Something happened that caused something NOT to happen...right?"
"Exactly."
"How do you know it happened when it didn't?"
"That was another strange thing. I saw myself."
"Huh? Like in a mirror?"
"No. I saw myself. Like a twin."
"You mean, there were two of you? How?"
Back at the Garcia-Shapiro's...
"So, Ferb has agreed to go out with you..."
"Yep."
"...AHH!" The girls screamed. "Congrats!"
"Thanks...Isabella, can we talk? Privately?"
"Sure." They separate from the rest of the girls. "I'm so happy for you guys."
"Thanks...I was wondering if we could...double-date?"
"Really?"
"I mean, we don't have to if you guys have already planned something."
"I guess we could. If Ferb is free tomorrow, then so is Phineas...and so am I. All right! Let's double-date!"
"Great!"
Back at...
***Doofenshmirtz Evil Incor-***
"Just 8 more hourrrrs...now, for Phase 2." Doofenshmirtz gets on the phone.
"Yes, I'm Heinz Doofenshmirtz and I would like to buy one of your...well, yes. Of course I'll pay upfront...I only need it for one day...that's right...great! See you tomorrow."
Back at Baljeet's...
"So this twin told you he was you from the past?"
"Yeah. Crazy, right?"
"Not really...we had a similar incident ourselves."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Ferb and I fixed the time machine at the museum, remember? We told you about our trip..."
"Oh yeah...guess that explains why the other me...but what about my ribbon?"
"Well, its like you said...a change in the time-space continuum. Apparently, someone from the present went back to the past and did something that costed you your prize."
"And when the other vanished like 'poof', I screamed..like this...!"
"We get it, Baljeet. So who would do that to you?"
"Perhaps the culprit needed the pizzazium infinionite..." Ferb suggested.
"Yeah. Good thinkin', Ferb. What did you use it for? Did you create something that needed it?"
"No, it was the fact that that stick was, and likely still is, the only pizzazium infinionite in exstence...I got the first place ribbon on the spot."
"I think I may know who may have done it," Ferb concluded. "Vanessa's dad."
"Really? Whoa...he seems so nice...guess we'll talk to him tomorrow."
"We can't..."
"Oh yeah...you're going out with Mary." Phineas then looks at a disappointed Baljeet. "How's about we all go to Vanessa's dad before-" As Phineas was about to finish, he receives a call.
**
"Hello?"
"Hi, it's me."
"Hey. Did you or the girls feel anything? Like a change in the time-space continuum?"
"Um...no. Why?"
"Baljeet says he saw himself from the past."
"Really? Was it like we saw Candace from the future?"
"I think so. Anyway, I was wondering if could make a short visit to Vanessa's dad's house while Mary and Ferb goes out."
"Well,Phineas...I was wondering if we could double date with Ferb and Mary..."
"Date? Ferb told me they were just going to hangout..."
"You are clueless sometimes, Phinny. Mary was asking Ferb out, silly."
"Oh. Well, then could we make a little trip over there before our date then?"
"Why?"
"Baljeet says he won a science award and because of the change in the time-space contiuum, he no longer has it. Ferb believes that Vanessa's dad may be the one who took the time machine from the museum back to the time Ferb and I were at the supermall."
"Oh...I guess so."
"Great. See you girls tomorrow."
"Okay. We'll go investigate tomorrow."
Night falls and the gang are all asleep...but over at ***Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated! After hours...***
"Yes...YES! It's finally complete!" Doof goes into his refrigerator to take out the substance he concocted, which is now clear. "Now for the final phase...hahaha!"
"Dad! Shut up! I'm trying to sleep!" His daughter shouted.
"Sorry, honey. Sleep tight. Finally, the Tri-State Area...will be mine!"
