Part 2
"Yes Phineas!" Bucky answered. "Is it me, your loving former dog Bucky."
"W-what do you want from me?" The boy asked, terrified.
"I want you to be a ghost like me!" Phineas then looked puzzled.
"W-what?"
Meanwhile at Vanessa's, when the TV showed a commercial break, Ferb asked if he could use the phone.
"Oh sure!" Vanessa answered him, paying more attention to Johnny's eyes, and smiling. "Phone's in the kitchen."
Ferb stood up, and went into the kitchen. When he saw the phone mounted to the wall, he took it up from its cradle, dialed his home number, and placed it to his ear. Candace answered it.
"Hello?" She asked on the other line.
"Candace," Ferb said. "Can you tell Mum to pick me up from Vanessa's?" He looked around the corner to see Vanessa and Johnny still flirting with each other. "This date didn't go as planned."
"Ferb? Mom's out with Vanessa's mom at their cooking Halloween party, she won't be home until late."
"Then can you come over?"
"Ferb, I only have a permit, you know that. I'm not supposed to drive without an adult in the car with me. I'm handing out candy to the Trick or Treaters, and anyways, you're not on a date!" Ferb sighed.
"I know. Can you just come anyways? Please, Candace. I need you." Candace sighed, and looked at the candy basket.
"Sure!"
"Thanks sis."
"Is that your sister?" Vanessa asked who came up to Ferb in the kitchen. She then put her hand out.
"Can I talk to her, please?" Ferb hesitated, and then handed the phone to Vanessa. He then went back to the family room with Johnny. Vanessa spoke into the phone.
"Hi Candace." She said.
"Vanessa?" Candace asked. "Is everything alright over there? Sounds like Ferb isn't too happy."
"Oh, I don't know why. Maybe hungry? We're partying all night, and ending at sunrise. Can you buy us more food? We only have popcorn. Oh, and no garlic please. Johnny and I both can't stand garlic, thanks, bye!" The Goth teen hung up, and went back to where Ferb and Johnny were.
"Is Candace coming?" Ferb asked her.
"Yeah." Vanessa answered. "She'll be here in a jiff." They all paid attention to the screen.
"Wow!" Candace observed, hanging up the phone. "Partying all night huh? Must be a long vampire marathon. Wonder why Johnny hates garlic! That stuff may give you bad breath, but that's stuff amazing on garlic bread! Oh, well!" She then got her jacket, went outside, got her bike from the garage and put her helmet on, then peddled to the supermarket.
When she got a bag of candy corn, and fruit punch from the market, she headed to Vanessa's house.
When she got there, she got off her bike, and parked it. She grabbled the grocery bag from off the handles, and headed for the doors.
She rang the bell, and peeked into the window. She smiled when she saw Ferb, but then gasped when she saw Count Dracula and his wife.
She then began to panic, and then laughed to herself.
"Oh right!" She snorted. "They're just costumes. They're not real vampires."
Once the door opened, a plastic bat flew into her face, screeching a shrill sheik. Candace screamed. The bat stopped.
"Hi!" Vanessa greeted. All Candace could do was stutter, feignedly. Vanessa noticed the grocery bag.
"Oh you did go to the market!" She grabbed it. "No garlic in here right? Thanks! Tell your Mom to pick up Ferb before sunrise, bye" She closed the door. Candace still stuttered.
She then went back to reality, and shook it off.
"Wonder where that bat came from?" She asked herself, realized something, and then shook it off.
Nahhh!" She said. "It's just a Halloween decoration; it's not real. She got on her bike, and strapped her helmet back on.
She then looked back in the window, and gasped. Johnny and Vanessa were kissing.
Her heart then pounded.
"Nahhh!" She decided. She looked again; they were still going at it. She gasped in shock.
"Oh my gosh! Turning into a bat, hates garlic, sucking blood out of her boyfriend, party ending before sunrise can only be one thing." Her face then looked scared. "My stepbrother is on a date…with a vampire!"
"That's right Phineas," The ghost dog said. "I want you to become a ghost like me. "
"B-but why?" Phineas wanted to know.
"So you can be with me for eternity!" He laughed evilly. "You see Phineas; you've been with that no good, lame platypus long enough!"
"You mean Perry? What have you got against him; he's just a platypus, they don't do much you know."
"He stole my spotlight!"
"What do you mean?"
"You used to love me Phineas. Now that stupid platypus is in the picture, you don't. You have forgotten all about me. Just like I no longer exist, I no longer exist in your life either. You're not sad that I was dead, and no longer living. You replaced me with another, and threw me out like a ratty old newspaper."
"Oh, Bucky; that's not true. How could I forget you? You were the light of my life, and always will be. I was too sad when I finally heard the tragic news two years in your afterlife, I cried for days and days, but I moved on. Perry may be my pet now, but I'll always remember you Bucky, always. You have to believe that."
"LIESSS!"
"I'm not making this up Bucky. You see when someone you love dies; they don't truly go away forever. Part of them stays behind in your memo…"
"Yeah, yeah! I heard a similar speech about this from this lunatic of a nemesis of Perry's." Phineas looked at the ghost confused.
"Perry has a nemesis?"
"Oh don't be blind! Of course Perry has a nemesis! He's a secret agent after all."
"I don't think I should believe you; you're dead."
"Phineas, I'm a ghost; I know everything that you and your family do. That platypus that you love dearly more then me is truly an agent. He may look cute, mindless, and innocent, but when no one's looking, he goes into his true form to kick bad-guy butt. Looks aren't what they appear to be Phineas. But never mind about that now, live like a ghost with me Phineas. Live among the dead!"
"And if I don't?"
"Oh I don't think you'll have a choice!"
Suddenly, all of Phineas's friends appeared chained to the walls.
"PHINEAS!" They all screamed, trying to get free, but failing.
"Guys!" Phineas shouted. "Isabella!" He then looked at the ghost dog. "Let them go Bucky!"
"Will you become a ghost like me then?"
"No! Wait, if I do become a ghost, will you let my friends go?"
"Yes! Most definitly!" Phineas pondered about this.
"Don't do it Phineas!" Isabella screamed.
"Yeah!" Baljeet added. ""Don't do it; it's a trap!"
"This is not what I came for!" Irving cried. "I didn't come here to watch my hero turn into a ghost! Why, oh why?" He began to weep.
"Irving!" Isabella told him. "Relax, will ya! Phineas is not going to turn into a ghost!" She looked at Phineas. "Phineas don't do this! If you turn into a ghost, you'll never have any more adventures! You'll never have the life with your parents, friends, school, Ferb, Perry, and me that you once had. All of that will vanish! You're a good kid Phineas, but you're only a kid. You still have a lot to live for. Please, don't give it up yet; please!" Phineas hesitated again.
"Come on Phineas!" Bucky urged. "Live among the dead like me! Don't worry; your friends will be safe; my ghost friends will make sure of that!"
Suddenly, more ghost dogs appeared out of nowhere. Phineas's friends all screamed.
"There are more of them?" Isabella shrieked. "Help Phineas; save us!" Phineas was terrified. "Helllllllppppppp!" The friends screamed again.
"I-Isabella," Phineas said, terrified. He gulped. "I-I see dead dogs."
"So live with me Phineas!" Bucky persuaded. "Live with me!" He laughed his sinister laughed. Phineas looked around. He then saw it in the corner, a vacuum cleaner. Bingo; that'll work! That'll get rid of this creepy ghost!
"Look!" He told them. "A pile of doggy bones!"
"Where?" All of the ghosts turned around. Bucky turned back to see Phineas inching his way to the vacuum. He growled, and flew in front of him and the vacuum. Phineas, who was shocked, screamed.
"So you think you can outsmart a ghost?" Bucky sneered. "I think not! You will never see your parents, friends, stepbrother, or your precious platypus again!" He laughed.
As he was doing that, Phineas quickly plugged the vacuum cleaner, and pointed the nozzle at the ghost.
"Bucky!" Phineas said. Bucky stopped, sneered, and looked at him. "You've been a very bad dog!" The boy turned the machine on. Bucky screamed as he got sucked in.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Phineas turned it off when the ghost was completely gone. All of the ghost dogs, howled as they vanished as the lights went on. The chains unlocked themselves, letting all of Phineas's friends free. They ran towards him. Isabella gave Phineas a hug.
"Oh Phineas," She said. "You saved us!" She released herself from him. "However did you do it?"
"Well," Phineas admitted. "Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I did what that green mustached Italian plumber did to get rid of ghosts on our video game; I sucked him up in the vacuum cleaner! He won't come back for a long time!" Baljeet looked confused,
"So, a video game saved your life?" He asked.
"I guess so. Now, let's go home, and eat some of our candy!" His friends all agreed as they headed out.
"Once again, Phineas Flynn has left the building!"
"Good thing we're leaving." Baljeet told his friends. "With all of that spooky things that happed tonight; I think I wetted myself." The friends were all disgusted, as they walked home.
"Okay," Candace told herself returning to Vanessa's with vampire-warding-off equipment. "Let's see here, I got a garlic necklace," She wore a garlic necklace around her neck. "A cross, a wooden stake, a flashlight, and batteries in case they go dead. Now I'm ready to go save Ferb; I'm coming Ferb!" She got off her bike, and headed for the door.
In the house, Ferb, Vanessa, and Johnny were all watching The Vampire Journals, while eating what Candace had brought them.
Suddenly, from the corner of her eye, Vanessa saw a spider creeping in the corner. Vanessa screamed.
"I hate spiders!" She leapt behind the sofa, and quivered in fear. "J-Johnny save us!" Johnny sighed.
"Relax Vinnie," He responded. "It's only a spider. As long as he doesn't come near, we're safe. Don't tell me you're chicken?" Vanessa stood up.
The spider came closer. Johnny screamed, and jumped into Vanessa's arms.
"Ahhh!" He yelled. "Spider! Get it away from me!" He quivered in fear. Vanessa gave her boyfriend a look.
"Chicken, right!" She said, irritated by him. "Just kill him alright?" She dropped him to the ground. Johnny stood up.
"Kill him? No way; that's thing creepy! There's no way that I'm killing that thing!" Vanessa sighed, and the two screamed as the spider crept closer and closer.
Ferb sighed, stood up, and walked towards the spider.
"No, no dude!" Johnny warned him. "That spider's too dangerous! He'll latch onto you head, and do things to you! Horrible things, don't do it bro!" Ferb just ignored him. He then crushed it with his foot. He then looked at the teens that were now dumbstruck.
"What?" The English boy asked while he shrugged. "It's just a spider." The teens sighed in relief. Vanessa went foreword.
"You saved us Ferb." She congratulated him. "That was real brave of you; thank you." She then kissed him. Ferb smiled.
Meanwhile, Candace was watching in the bushes. She gasped.
"I-I'm too late." She said, and stood up. "My stepbrother's a vampire." She sighed, and walked slowly to her bike. She tossed the wooden stake aside.
She hopped on, and peddled home sadly.
When they were done kissing, the teens and kid all went back to watching TV. Finally, Ferb could stay here. He was happy, he got his kiss.
Perry was still running away from all of the eerie noises. His heart pounding each time.
He then stopped when he reached a dead end in a corner. He then sensed someone following him. He quivered in fear as he turned around.
A shadowed figure came towards him. The platypus didn't know what to do; he was utterly terrified! He chattered in fear.
From out of the shadows, appeared Dr. Doofensmirtz. Perry sighed, and wiped his brow in relief. Somehow he knew it was Dr. D.
He then saw all of his friends; they were all okay. Perry was confused.
"SURPRISE!!" the humans all said at once. The animals did their cheer. The lights went back on.
"Happy Halloween Agent P!" Monogram spoke.
"You were scared!" Carl added. "We got your good!" Dr. D snickered as he came towards the semi-aquatic mammal. Dr. D was in his 'costume' again, which was no costume, just his usual self. Everybody looked at him.
"What?" The scientist asked. "It's my best costume, alright!" He then turned to Perry.
"We got you Perry the Platypus!" He giggled. "Man, you were so scared!" Perry looked at his friends; they were in on it?
"This is one of the rare occasions where Dr. D is on the good side." Monogram explained. "By helping us scare you!"
"It's true." Dr. D admitted. "Scaring you is evil, and I love evil! By the way; tomorrow I'll be back to my usual tricks, so you better be ready Perry the Platypus!" Perry looked away, like he was about to cry.
"Oh don't cry Perry the Platypus." Dr. D consoled him. "It was only a trick I swear! We wouldn't scare you on purpose, well, I will, but it was all pretend. It was only a trick Perry the Platypus; a trick! Perry?"
Perry then turned around. The humans screamed. Perry was now wearing a creepy clown's mask with fangs, and fake blood rolling down its cheeks. The humans all ran for their lives.
Perry took of his mask, and the animals all cheered as Perry stood proud, his cape flowing in the fan's breeze.
They heard Bucky's howling, and all ran. Pinky quickly pushing Biffs' bowl with his nose.
At home, Candace looked pale in the kitchen. Phineas then came home by himself.
"I'm home!" He called. He then saw his pale sister, and went to see what was wrong.
"What's wrong sis? You look like you seen a ghost like we have. What's bugging you?"
"Phineas," Candace started. "You won't believe this, but Ferb's a…vampire!"
"A what?" Candace grabbed her brother by the shirt coller.
"A vampire!" She let him go. Phineas looked like she was nuts.
"My brother's a vampire?" He asked. "That's so cool; but I think you let your imagination get the best of you again sis. Like you wanted me to believe Ferb was an alien, I can tell you right now, that vampires, zombies, monster, and stuff are made up. They're not real." He ate some of his candy.
"But…but." Candace stammered. "I saw it. Ferb turned into a vampire by Vanessa."
The next morning, Ferb came home while the family was all having breakfast.
"You see Candace? What did I tell you? Ferb's not a vampire after all. He's just his usual self, and that's what I like about him."
"Or am I?" Ferb teased, and laughed deeply like a vampire Candace screamed.
"Ferb's kidding sis." Phineas told her. "Vampire's don't exist. Ferb looked at his brother.
"Oh do they!" He laughed evilly again in a deep voice.
When Candace has gone to school, an hour later; the boys' bus honked from outside. Phineas, with his backpack on, looked at Perry.
"Ready to walk with us to the school bus Perry?" He asked. "Our dear beloved, platypus that we love all so dearly?" Perry chattered as Phineas stroked the mammal's chin. The bus honked again.
"Let's go!" So off the kids went to the bus stop. Their beloved semi-aquatic mammal walking with them in the nice fall air.
Happy Halloween!
