CHAPTER FOUR- Hey, look how fast I got this up! I'm learning! Hey, a quick note about my last chapter- I think I confused some of you into thinking that Django and Jenny are cousins-they aren't. They're brother and sister. Sorry, I guess I should have made that more clear. Pretty awesome, though, right? It's on Phineas and Ferb wiki, BTW, for all you who wanted to know where I found it. Though I guess Wiki isn't the most trustworthy place...oh well.

Anyway, here's my fourth chapter (or is it my fifth? stupid Prologue confusion.) Hope you enjoy!

Oh, BTW, I go all hater girl on Major Monogram. He really ticked me off in the movie. sorry!

CANDACE POV

The phone rings on the other end 2 times before Mom finally picks it up. When she speaks, her voice is a little more than annoyed.

"What is it Candace? This better not be about some fictional antic that the boys are dong, because I've already not seen one today."

"It's not Mom, I promise."

Mom calms down a little. "Well, then what is it?"

I pause. I haven't exactly thought of anything yet. There are a few ideas in my head, but most of them involve school, and hey, it's summer. I mean, where do I begin?

"Candace?"

"Oh, right. Um, well my friend, uh, Vanessa invited Phineas, Ferb and I to, uh, go…..camping with her. Yeah! She wants us to go camping with her and her dad. Can we?"

I'm pumping my fist in the air, amazed that I have come up with such a good idea, when Mom's logic breaks through my celebration.

"What about your clothes?"

Shoot. Haven't thought about that.

"We, um are going to…get camp uniforms?" Do people still do that? I have no idea.

"Oh. Oh, well that makes sense," Mom says.

"It does? I mean, of course it does! So can we go?" I ask in shock. I can't believe that actually worked! "I think it's for about a week, maybe more if we really like it."

"Well…sure. Just let me talk to her father so I can make sure I have all the proper information."

Great timing, Mom. "OK. Uh, let me just find him first." I begin running through the apartment, trying to figure out where Ferb's room is. I finally find it after walking into the kitchen, the bathroom and even outside on the balcony. I mean, how did I miss that?

I push open the door to see Dr. D wiping Ferb's forehead with a wet washcloth. He looks up from his work and gives me a smile. "Whatcha need?" he asks.

I hear a vague "Hey!" from what sounds like Isabella outside the room before I respond. I quickly explain what I told Mom, and Dr. D takes the phone without any hesitation.

"Hi, Mrs. Flynn-Fletcher, right?" he says in to the phone.

I let him work it out with Mom, and take a look at Ferb while he's talking. His head has been bandaged tightly, and his left wrist and arm, the least damaged ones, are wrapped in gauze and fixed with a makeshift splint. His bloody shirt is on the floor on top of a towel, and his ribs have been bandaged as well. There is some kind of goop over his black eye, probably to make the swelling go down, and he's been cleaned up of most of the blood.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz did a really good job for an "evil" scientist. I glance back over at him as he finishes the conversation with Mom and I take the phone back. "So, can we go?" I ask, putting as much hope in my voice as I possibly can.

"Of course you can!" Mom says. "I'll call your cell once a day to check on you. By the way, have you seen Perry?"

"Yeah, he's with us. Thanks Mom! Bye!" I hang up the phone quickly and realize that I am trembling. I've never lied to anyone that much before-not even Stacy that one time at the fair. I nod my thanks to Dr. D, who's turned his attention back to Ferb, and then head back out the door towards the living room-I think.

I face the people in it, and glance around. I spot a crate and drag it over. I then stand on top of it and cup my hands over my mouth. "Hey? Hey everyone!"

A lot of shushing goes on and pretty soon, I have everyone's attention. As I'm glancing over the crowd, I realize that only a few people can be of any help to me at the moment. "I hate to say this, what with Phineas and Ferb in the condition they're in, but I need to tell you that-"

"We need you all to go home so that Agent P's owners can say goodbye."

I spin around on my heel to see who had just interrupted me and almost fall off the crate in the process. "What?" I say, hearing very clearly the malice in my voice.

A middle aged man with a white mustache raises his unibrow. "Well, we thought you would want to say goodbye to Agent P in private."

Agent P….does he mean Perry? "What do you mean?" I ask.

"He didn't tell you? Didn't he give you a pamphlet?"

I pause. "I think Phineas and Ferb threw it away."

"Doesn't anyone read those things?" the man cries to a nerdy looking teenager standing next to him. The boy shrugs. "I tried to warn you sir."

"I'm sorry, but now that you know Agent P's secret, he'll have to be sent away forever."

My face pales. "What? But he's hurt! You can't send him away while he's injured!"

The guy pauses, and while he's thinking about my sentence, the full majority of his statement hits me.

"Wait, what do you mean send him away? I don't want to lose him! Ugh, now I've never wished so much that I could un-know something!" This would break Phineas and Ferb's hearts. Suddenly, the nerdy kid clears his throat.

"Sir, what about Dr. Doofenshmirtz's amnesia-inator?"

"I never built an amnesia-inator." I look over to see Dr. D standing in the door way, looking confused. "I think I'd remember building something like that."

I almost snort at the irony, and then turn back as the old guy starts talking again. "We need to hit all of you with it right now, then, so you don't remember any of this. Carl, start with the teens and then I'll-"

"Are you kidding me?" I cry. "Did you not here what I said? Look I don't care who you think you are, but you aren't erasing our memories right now! Get your head out of the stupid clouds! One of your agents is hurt, and so are both my brothers! One of them could…could die, for crying out loud! I think your secret is the least of our problems right now!" I gulp, and the guy steps back. I realize that my hands are trembling and clenched at my sides.

"Look," he says, shaking his head, "I'll let your family keep their memories until everyone is better, but I'm sorry the rest of you are going to have to get hit with the amnesia-inator today."

I'm about to nod in agreement when Jeremy steps forward and takes my hand. "No way. I'm helping Candace."

Isabella walks up as well and stands on the other side of me. "Ditto."

Baljeet and Buford come over. "Same here," they say in unison.

I see Stacy begin to step forward, but the dumbbell in the suit holds his hand up. "No more." His eyes scan the kids I have lined up in front of me, and finally he nods. "You kids…fine. I know you're close to Phineas and Ferb. No one else. All the rest of you, come with me to the amnesia-inator. Carl, bring up the rear!"

"Yes sir," Carl says.

"Now, young lady, we'll be in touch and-"

I cut him off. "No way. Carl will stay in touch. From what I can see, he's not a complete moron like his boss."

"He's not," Isabella and Baljeet chime together. Before I can ask how the heck they know Carl, the dude glares at me. "Now see here, missy-"

"Francis," growls Dr. D, who's still in the room, "you will leave my house this instant."

"But I-"

"Now."

Big shot Major "Francis" holds up his hands in surrender and motions all the kids out the door. Stacy throws an apologetic look back at me, and I smile at her to tell her that it's OK. I know she wants to help, but I'm not about to ruin what I've already managed to get. We get to keep Perry, I get help from mine and Phineas and Ferb's closest friends (minus Stacy) and I showed up a hot shot moron.

"Thanks," I say, turning to Dr. D. He waves and heads back to Ferb's room. I turn and look at the assortment of people in front of me. Isabella and Jeremy have disappeared, leaving me with Buford, Baljeet, and Pinky, who is definitely a secret agent, if the fedora perched on his head in any indicator.

I kneel next to him. "Maybe you should take Isabella home for now. She's had a rough day, and I know you have too."

The little dog shakes his head and motions down the hallway towards Ferb's room. "Alright, go ahead."

He barks and scampers away, and I turn next to Baljeet and Buford. "Are Phineas and Ferb going to be OK?" the former asks me.

I quiver at his words, and open my mouth slowly, not sure how to respond. "Shut-up, dweeb, she doesn't know!" Buford yells.

I put a hand on his shoulder. "It's OK, Buford, he's just curious. I honestly don't know how they are, guys."

"So why are we here?" Buford asks.

"Because Phineas and Ferb need help, and you volunteered. Plus, I trust you guys more than that dumb Major."

"Nice. So, what do you want us to do?" Baljeet asks.

"Well, can you both go get some more first-aid supplies? We're kinda low." I hand them a twenty and both boys dart away, presumably to the pharmacy across the street.

I turn, ready to finally go see Phineas and jump 3 feet in the air when I see Carl behind me. "Geez, a little warning would be nice!" I cry, putting a hand over my pounding heart.

"Sorry," the boy mutters. "I was just wondering if there was something I could do to help."

I pause. "Yeah. I need you to help Dr. D and Jeremy keep an eye on the other 3 kids. I need to watch my brothers. Plus, you've got to keep us in touch with Major-what's it."

"Monogram."

"Whatever. So, that good for you?"

"Sure, of course." He pauses, and then as he turns to leave, speaks again. "I'm going to go call Vanessa and see if she can come help."

"Dr. D's daughter?" Still can't remeber where I've heard that name before!

"Yup." I nod, and Carl leaves.

Finally. Phineas. I find his room quickly thanks to the signs Dr. D had put on the door saying "PATIENT NEEDS REST, and QUIET OVER HERE, and lastly, one that made me giggle, MY ROOM. YOU ENTER, YOU'RE DEAD.

I hesitated, and then grabbed the doorknob and pushed open the door into the room.

Candace finally gets into Phineas' room! Only took two chapters. BTW, the last sign on the door my brother actually has. (-=

So, whatcha think? Did anyone catch my hint to the song "Summer, Man Where Do We Begin?" It's my fave song from the movie! Had to reference it. I DON'T OWN IT, but it's the coolest song ever!

Oh, I originally had Stacy stay, but it's hard for me to write for her, so I made her leave. Sorry if I made Candace seem rude to her. Just couldn't figure out how to get her out of there without causing some big scene.

Anywho, R and R!
