WHAT DR. DOOFENSHMIRTZ REALLY PLANS

PHINEAS AND FERB DECIDES TO MAKE IT UP

Phineas, along with Ferb, decided to spend the rest of the day resting under their backyard tree... And the backyard seems to be clean now. Phineas is still very upset of what happened earlier, and Ferb... Is still in his meaningless expression. The two never talked ever since the incident, and by the moment, only sounds of silent breathing and breathtakings were heard.

The silence was utterly broken when the group of Isabella and Baljeet from the first chapter appeared once again.

"Phineas! Ferb!" Baljeet excitedly came running towards the two. "I gave my painting to my mom and did you know what she said?"

Phineas looked at him uninterestingly, but somehow replied. "What did she say?"

"She said... 'Oh my, Baljeet! This is the most beautiful... And biggest thing I've ever seen!' Isn't that great, Phineas? Thank you very much for helping me paint it! You're the best, Phineas!"

Phineas doesn't seem to listen and resumes back into staring at the sky, sarcastically saying, "Good for you."

"Phineas?" Isabella finally noticed his strange attitude. "Is something wrong?"

Phineas doesn't bother to answer, so Ferb now did the talking for him.

"He got scolded by Candace."

Isabella and the rest gasped, but then paused for a while. "Doesn't Candace always scold you two?"

"Yes, but today's different."

Isabella and the rest exchanged glances. "How's today different from the other days?"

Ferb now turned quiet, seeming that he really don't want to do the talking and realized that it's really strange to do so.

The group exchanged looks again, but respected the silence of the step-brothers. They then sat down under the tree with them, and stared at the sky as well.

And finally, after a half an hour of deep silence...

"Ferb," Phineas finally spoken and that made the group sigh in relief and joy to hear him again. "I have thought of it for a while... I wanted to make it up to Candace."

Adyson, a Fireside girl, snapped in. "What're you gonna do?"

"Let's buy her another dress, that looks exactly like her gift from Jeremy. That way she won't be furious anymore!"

Ferb held his forefinger in the air. "But didn't she say he crossed the mountains for it?"

Phineas opened his mouth, but no words appear as he realized that Ferb's correct. "Hm. You got that right. But we also crossed the whole Danville when we made that rollercoaster, right? It isn't a big deal."

Isabella then butted in. "But do you know which store that dress was from?"

Phineas opened his mouth again, but he realized that she's correct. "Hm. But we could split up and scan Danville where that dress is, right? It isn't that hard. OR we could just ask Jeremy where he bought it!"

Baljeet then snapped. "But wouldn't he be furious if he found out what happened to his gift for her?"

Phineas opened his mouth again, but slapped his forehead when he realized Baljeet's correct. "We should use the first option, then."

Ferb held another forefinger in the air. "But didn't she say it's one of a kind?"

Phineas glared at Ferb in a few moments of silence. "You know Ferb, you should've said that first."

. . .

Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated!

"NOW, PERRY THE PLATYPUS! WHERE WAS I? OH, YES! W-WAIT, WAIT A MINUTE!"

Dr. Doofenshmirtz rubbed his throat for a while, gulped a glass of water and sighed.

"Sorry about that. I realized I'm too excited that I'm overreacting so much and... My voice's too high-pitched, it's... It's unpleasant!"

Perry, still trapped, glared at him.

"Okay, now I sound better. Now, Perry the Platypus! Where was I? Oh, yes! I made this Sewing Machine-inator because I'm going make a wonderful dress to my wonderful daughter, Vanessa!"

Perry raised an eyebrow.

"No, it's not her birthday. There's no occasion either. What, is it bad to give a gift on a regular day? You can give gifts any day you want, right! I call it... A 'regular gift'. You see, I'm kinda getting sick of Vanessa's outfit she's wearing everyday so I decided to give her a new one! But I don't go to malls and shop for clothings and dorky stuff, so I thought of saving time by making this Sewing Machine-inator and making her a dress myself! What do you think?"

Perry glared at him once again.

"What, you're saying I wasted more time because I spent the whole night making this contraption and I'm not even good at making dresses? Hah! You're saying that that tutu isn't good? You're getting on my nerves, Perry the Platypus! You have no idea how good I am on making dresses! But of course, except for that one time when I sewed my mother a dress for Halloween, I would want to give her a witch costume... But it turned out being an elf costume. My mother didn't give me dinner for a week, so..."

Perry just continued to stare blankly at him.

"Ah, stop it! You're making me tell another hideous story of mine! Well then, I should go ahead and make a dress for my Vanessa. As you can see, this isn't a plan to take over the Tri-State Area. It's a small little gift-giving for my daughter, so there's nothing for you to put a stop to it. I don't know why I still gave you that trap, though... I thought of adding it to my surprise for you. Whatever."

Perry glared at him again. Yeah, right.

. . .

Meanwhile, at the Flynn-Fletcher house, Candace lies quietly on her bed, sighing for a hundred times already. She kinda felt bad of scolding her brothers like that, but she also is very furious of them destroying her gift from Jeremy... And now because of it, her relationship with him is at stake. She then suddenly thought of Stacy.

"Hello? Stacy? I need somebody to talk with."

Stacy was then heard on the other line. "I know right, that's why you called me."

"Stacy, you'll never believe what happened. Jeremy and I were going for a date tomorrow."

"Haven't you guys dated before? Don't worry, Candace. I believe that."

"No, no... I mean, yeah, but he gave me a dress and..."

"Oh, really? What's the occasion? It definitely isn't your birthday or something. Was that a regular gift?"

"Yes, I mean... No! Listen, he gave me this dress and Phineas and Ferb ruined it!"

Stacy gasped. "No WAY! What if Jeremy finds out? Your relationship is at stake, Candace! Have you scolded your brothers yet?"

"I did, and that's the problem! I got angry and scolded them too much and I felt bad! But it's also their fault, so it's okay... But..."

"Candace, you should NEVER scold at your brothers like that! They're still kids so accidents like that frequently happen! Didn't you even think of what Phineas and Ferb would be feeling right now? Aren't they a little too young to be feeling terribly upset?"

"Uhm... Yes, yes I think."

"Go and apologize quick. I'll be waiting by the phone and I want to hear you say it from there."

"O-Okay, Stacy. I'm gonna do it."

Candace lifted her window frame up and peeked at what her brothers are doing, and that's when she saw Phineas and Ferb building a remote-controlled automobile.

"What the...? Phineas and Ferb are up to something again! And to think I scolded them the last minute... They're really doing this in purpose!"

"Wait, Candace! That's..."

Candace opens her mouth to start to scold the boys again, but realized that she promised herself a little earlier never to talk to them. She slapped her head and returned to her conversation to Stacy.

"Stacy... I can't do it."

"That's right, Candace. You shouldn't scold them again. You should - "

"I promised myself not to talk to them... So YOU scold them!"

"What?"

"Stacy, get over here and scold them. Then you go ahead to mom's cooking class and BUST them!"

"Candace, I - "

Candace insisted so Stacy had no choice but to go. Two minutes after, Stacy was now in her backyard and saw Phineas and Ferb almost finished in building their new invention.

"Hi, Phineas. Hi, Ferb."

Phineas popped out his head from inside the car and waved his hand with a wrench. "Hi, Stacy! Candace is upstairs."

"I know. She sent me here and told me to scold you about what you're doing."

Phineas turned a bit worried. "Really? She even sent you for that?"

"Yeah, I know right." Stacy then went to the speech Candace told her to. "PHINEAS! FERB! What are you doing?"

Phineas and Ferb's eyes widened. "Wow, that's a good imitation of Candace, huh. Nice job."

"Really?" Stacy giggled, and then returned to her dramatic speech. "If your mom sees what you're doing, you're getting really BUSTED!"

"But Stacy," Phineas uttered, "We're trying to make it up for Candace by buying her a new dress. We built this automobile so we could go across Danville only for three hours and look for the dress Jeremy bought for her."

Stacy's eyes glistened. "Wow, really? Candace should hear that. She's really wrong, you know. She told me she hated you from the bottom of her veins and that she never liked being your sister and that she will never ever talk to you anymore and she gets disgusted whenever she sees you. OOPS!"

Stacy covered her mouth as soon as she finished her unnecessary statement, realizing she just made things worse.

Phineas then suddenly dropped the wrench from his hand and stared blankly at nowhere, now completely disappointed. Ferb looked at Stacy and shook his head disappointingly, in which Stacy whispered a 'sorry'.

After a few moments of tensed silence...

"That's it, Ferb." Phineas looked at Ferb anxiously. "I'm never going to build things anymore. Ever."
