DR. DOOFENSHMIRTZ... FINALLY. xD
CAN PHINEAS AND FERB DO IT?
"I'm never going to build anything anymore. Ever."
Those words continued to echo inside Ferb's and Stacy's mind... Especially the latter. She never thought that that one will affect Phineas so much that it even comes to the point he'll give up his passion of building things.
"Phineas," Stacy tried to reach for the upset little boy, but she saw his eyes reflecting the sun's light... Which means in SHORT, he's getting teary-eyed already... Or was it her imagination?
In spite that, Stacy tried again. "Look, Phineas... I-It's not what you think... I... That's not what I... It's... I mean... What I'm trying to say is... You heard it not... No, it's just... This is not... You see, I... That's... You know, it's..." Stacy then slapped her forehead. "Why can't I finish every sentence?"
"Stacy," Phineas muttered. "Don't worry, it's all right. I made up my mind. After all, this is what Candace really wanted, right? I always notice that she's always furious whenever we build something... So I promise myself never to build anything again if that what makes her happy. Ferb, we're not going to do anything today... And forever."
Ferb's eyes widened much more than the usual. "You're kidding me, right? I..."
"No, Phineas! Actually, Candace... She always... She don't... It's different... She just... Your mom... Jeremy... Me..." Stacy slapped her forehead again. "UGH!"
The boys just quietly walked inside the house for a few minutes then went back again, walking past Stacy then outside the backyard. Phineas sadly waved good bye to her, and she looked anxiously and watch them leave.
After a while, Stacy went upstairs to Candace's room, and saw the latter lying on her bed with pillows over her.
"Candace? What are you doing?"
Candace suddenly got up which made Stacy stumble in shock.
"Stacy? What happened? Have you scolded the boys? Have you told mom?"
"Gosh, friend. You shocked me." Stacy got up quick and shoved the dirt away from her. "Yeah, I scolded them, but I didn't tell your mom."
"What? Why?"
Stacy threw a sarcastic expression. "Don't 'What? Why?' me. You know, because of the speech you gave me, I even made things worse. Everyone's gotten angry at me, you know that? Here. Phineas and Ferb left you a hologram message."
Candace stared at her in wonder. "What do you mean everyone's gotten angry at you? There's no one around here."
Stacy raised an eyebrow. "Hell-ooo? The reviewers, duh?"
Candace gasped, but then somehow ignored that and activated the hologram message instead.
"Dear Candace..."
Candace saw a small hologram of Phineas from the device, and from his face, he really looks terribly upset.
"Again, we're sorry about what happened to your dress. We really never meant to do it - it's an accident. But yeah, you could say it's our fault. We should've listened to you when you kept telling us not to build 'extraordinary' and 'exaggerating' things such as when we carved your face in Mt. Rushmore just for your birthday gift. I don't know how to make it up to you, but now we promise you that we'll never build anything anymore for the rest of our lives. I'm sorry if mom hasn't seen any of our inventions so far since you badly want her to see it... So please consider the Remote-Controlled Automobile as our last one and go ahead and let mom see it. I'm sure she'll be glad. But right now, we're going to move away until you've calmed down. Please give our regards to mom and explain to her what happened."
Candace has now a basin with her which is now halfway with her tears. She kept sniffing and tears kept pouring down - she never believed that her brothers just stopped their passion for her sake... And that they even helped her bust them.
Candace then suddenly paused a while after realizing the two last sentences in the message.
"Wait, Phineas and Ferb just MOVED OUT? They ran away from home? Ohmygosh, where did they go? Did they left for the deserted islands of Hawaii?"
"...And we didn't go to the deserted islands of Hawaii if that's what you're thinking."
Candace's eyes turned blank.
"...Relax. We're just across the street, right at Isabella's house. We decided to stay for the night there until you're okay."
Candace just released a great DEEP SIGH OF RELIEF.
"...Also, we're thinking of talking to Jeremy about it so he won't dump you, so don't worry, Candace. Oh, could you please look for Perry too, since I want to bring him with us but he still hasn't come back. See you tomorrow; Phineas and Ferb."
The two just stared at the holographic Phineas as it disappears the moment the message is over, completely awestruck.
"Hmm." Candace finally said after an hour of silence. "So they're just across the street."
"What do you mean they're just across the street?" Stacy remarked. "They still ran away from home! If you'd just seen the looks on their faces... And they just decided never to build anything anymore!"
Candace then anxiously thought of it too. "You're right... I mean, I always wanted to bust them, but... Somehow a part of me wanted them to continue building and inventing stuff everyday! It feels like I won't be complete if they do not do that..." Candace paused for a while and changed the topic quick. "Wait, did I hear right? Are they just going to talk to Jeremy about what happened? NO WAAY!"
. . .
Doofenshmirtz Using a Sewing Machine!
"Yes, that's right! I'm apparently using my Sewing Machine-inator perfectly well!"
Dr. Doofenshmirtz stated as he pushes and pulls different buttons and levers for his giant sewing machine to work. Many ribbons, cloths of different colors and sashes gathered together on the machine as the latter sews them all automatically.
"You think it's that hard to sew a dress? Well, maybe on your point of view since you're a platypus, Perry the Platypus... And platypuses don't sew dresses! I, for one, is almost reaching for my success in conquering... Uhm... Vanessa's dress, so watch out!"
Perry, trapped for already half an hour, yawned.**
"Don't you fall asleep, Perry the Platypus, and witness my evil plan working! Here you go... It's almost there... It's coming!"
And the dress did appear very nicely in outcome as it falls down on Dr. Doofenshmirtz's hands. It's full of pink ribbons, purple sashes, blue laces, green buttons, yellow top and an orange bottom. In short... It's too GIRLY for Vanessa.
"Hmm." Dr. Doofenshmirtz stared at his nicely-made dress, but doesn't seem to be satisfied with it. "I have a feeling that Vanessa won't even lay her eyes on this thing."
Perry nodded silently.
"You do think so too? But... It can't be! I mean, this is all what I can do today since... Since I called Vanessa earlier and told her to come here because I have a surprise for her, and..."
Doofenshmirtz Doorbell is Ringing!
"Oh no, here she is!"
Dr. Doofenshmirtz shivers as he slowly opened the door and saw Vanessa indeed standing there outside.
"Hi, Vanessa! You're... You're early!"
"Dad," Vanessa sighed. "You told me to come here by eleven, and it's 10:59."
Dr. Doofenshmirtz paused. "So... You're one minute early!"
Vanessa rolled her eyes sarcastically, and gave a 'let's-just-get-this-over-with' look.
"So, what's your surprise, dad? Don't tell me that's another nonsense 'Regular Day Party' of yours, or another gigantic cheesecake you gave mom as a thanksgiving, or showing me another nonsense fight of you and your nemesis in which you say 'Oh, I will defeat Perry the Platypus!' and it always goes the other way. Oh, dad... Please tell me your surprise is not anything from above."
"No, no it isn't."
Vanessa sighed. "Good. Now what is it?"
"You see, I'm kinda getting sick of that old-fashioned clothing of yours, so I decided to make you a new one! Ta-daa!"
Dr. Doofenshmirtz held the dress in front of Vanessa, which made the latter almost puke in shock... Not really puke, but almost.
"What's with that reaction, Vanessa?" Dr. Doofenshmirtz asked in wonder even if he expected this was going to happen. "Don't you like it?"
"Ugh, dad! This surprise of yours today is just the WORST of all your surprises! The 'Regular Day Party' is better!"
Vanessa stormed inside and approached the trapped Perry angrily.
"W-Wait, Vanessa! What are you doing?" Dr. Doofenshmirtz witnessed his daughter removing the tutu trap from Perry, thus freeing him.
"Perry, would you just fight with dad again? I've got that feeling I would enjoy it far more better than that... Dress."
Perry saluted her by taking off his fedora and wore it back. He then leaped on Dr. Doofenshmirtz, kicking him bull's-eye on the face. And as usual, the two started to bang their heads across the walls and and fight as what nemeses do so, while Vanessa watches eagerly from behind.
. . .
Meanwhile, Phineas and Ferb are indeed inside Isabella's house, timidly watching TV while Mrs. Vivian Garcia-Shapiro and Isabella make lunch. After a while, Isabella came to the living room carrying a tray of sandwiches and juice.
"Phineas?" Isabella asked worriedly, but at the same time feels so happy because this boy's actually staying overnight in her house.
"Are you okay?" Isabella asked again as she rested the tray on the table. "You haven't spoken anything from the time you got here."
Phineas just snorted as he lay restlessly on the sofa, with Ferb reading silently beside him.
"Isabella," Phineas stated which made Isabella suddenly blush. "We're sorry for staying here all of a sudden. I'm glad your mom agrees with us."
Isabella smiled. "It's no problem. You guys are free to go here anytime you want."
"Isabella," Phineas stated for the second time, "I... I promised myself that Ferb and I will never build anything anymore... Ever again."
Isabella suddenly dropped the glass of juice she was handing Ferb in shock. She's completely speechless - but in so much shock she would be able to strangle Phineas.
"Excuse me, what?"
"I said I promised myself that Ferb and I will never build anything anymore..."
"WHY?" Isabella roared which silenced Phineas and Ferb. "I-I don't understand... Am I just dreaming or... No, you're an alien, aren't you? You're not Phineas! The Phineas I knew will never say anything like that! I knew it! Most importantly, the Phineas I knew will never think of going over here and staying overnight!"
Phineas tried to speak, but Isabella suddenly brought a baseball weapon and aimed it at them.
"You don't know who your opponent is, alien! Let me explain everything to you. I'm Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, leader of the Fireside Girls Troop 46231. Tell me who you are and what you intended to do!"
Ferb suddenly brought up his very own baseball weapon as well and aimed at Isabella.
"No, no, no, wait!" Phineas exclaimed as the two widened their eyes at him. "Isabella, it is me, Phineas... And what I told you is true! It's only what can make Candace happy so I've made up my mind. And Ferb, where on earth did you get that? Don't tell me you brought that back from Mitch's ship."
Ferb nodded and Phineas sighed.
"But, Phineas!" Isabella was finally convinced when she indeed realized it is him. "What did Candace ever do to you for you to stop your passion? Summer is a long way ahead... You can't stop building things!"
Phineas stared at Isabella. "I can't?"
"Yes! Your inventions made children in Danville very happy and they make summer the best season in the year! I'm sure what happened is an accident... And I'm sure Candace really never meant scolding you guys! She always wanted you guys building things everyday, I assure you!"
"Isabella, I..."
"This already happened when we're stranded in that island... And you know, even if I always wanted your attention to me and not to that plane, I realized you shouldn't ever give up... And that's what actually makes me happy. The same goes now, so get up there and don't let the incident or Candace stop you!"
Phineas' eyes glistened as he was very moved by Isabella's words, and even if he doesn't understand the part 'I always wanted your attention to me and not to that plane' thing, he's slowly getting motivated by her.
"Isabella," Phineas finally said after a moment's silence, "I will talk to Jeremy and convince him about what happened. Will you come with me?"
"Oh, Phineas," Isabella blushes again as Phineas' hand held hers. "I'll always come with you wherever you go."
"Uhm..." Phineas' naiveté came up again. "We'll just go to Jeremy's."
Howver, Isabella doesn't seem to care. "Yeeeaah..."
Phineas stared at Isabella for a moment, and shrugged his shoulders. He has been motivated by her, but this still doesn't change his mind not to build anything anymore. Now, he's just thinking of trying to save Candace and Jeremy's relationship. He then looked at Ferb and said...
"Ferb, NOW I think I know what we're gonna do today."**
**EDITED, thanks to SyahirSQRT2 :)
AUTHOR'S NOTE: (yeah, this part's necessary. xD LOL.)
Thank you for the reviews again! And I can say OMG. You guys suddenly hated Candace and Stacy. I guess I've gotten a little bit too far. Well, I think it'll end next chapter, so please read! :)
Answer quessies...
SyahirSQRT2 Thankiess thankiess! I appreciate your review cause it's indeed a review. I mean, you really detailed everything you liked and not, I appreciate it. Continue reviewing like that! :)
bookwatchertox and DarkChao1663 Thank you for subscribing as well! I'm glad you liked my story! :D
As soon as I reached the part when Phineas and his friends were discussing about how to get the new dress for Candace, and Phineas always can't reject his friends'... waht's that word... objections of his ideas.
Yeah... You got that right, but I'm thinking of not making it any longer and I have to finish it soon... And Phineas should be of concern of what happened and he decided to make it up for it. And once he decided, he'll go on with it. ;)
Just like what you said before, the A-plot of this story is the close brothers builds stuff and Candace tries to get them busted. But, what if that ends? It'll put a fullstop in the writing of this cartoon series.
Of course I NEVER want that to happen since I NEVER want the series to stop. lol. But if it'll REALLY happen, it should occur at the considered "last episode" of the series. The series will last when the time comes, and of course, all unanswered questions should happen, and that includes Candace being able to bust the boys. But for the mean time, no can do. xD
I like this, but some slight exgrattion in candace's charector bugs me, but not a huge ammount. i love candace, so i am very weary of how she is shown in fics.
Thank you! I never thought of Candace's exaggeration, so I'm sorry if that bothered you. I just finished watching "Split Personality" when I made it first, and the Busting Candace was stuck in my mind so it carried with me throughout the fic. I love Candace as well, and the part I love from her is her overreacting and that's the comedy of the series. Sorry, I'll lessen it for the next one. :)
