"Hey, Phineas! Whatcha doin'?" Isabella asked over the phone. "Oh… morning, Isabella. It's 2am in Paris right now…" Phineas responded. "Oh… right. It's just that- it's been so- long since you- let to find- WILL YOU TWO QUIET DOWN! I'M TALKING TO YOUR FATHER!" Isabella responded, directing that last part to her twins, Summer and Mist. "Sorry Mom, but it's stopped listening to us. We're trying to stop it, but I can't promise much more," Summer responded, and Isabella sighed. "Phineas, do you think it was a good idea to tell our kids about what you did with Ferb?" she asked. "Yeah, Isabella. I'd like to hear about their plans to carpe diem, but I really can't abandon this project to come back to Danville!" Phineas comforted, before hanging up.
Meanwhile, Summer and Mist looked at one another. "Wait, Mist… why don't we make the longest day of summer ever!" he exclaimed, and Mist rolled her eyes. "Well, duh! Tomorrow is the best day to extend. So let's get going!" she said, and Summer and Mist began planning.
Doofenshmirtz' diabolical sche-eme!
"So, my child… soon you will disgrace the entire O.W.C.A. with your antics, and you will have no choice but to aid my schemes for domination!" Doofenshmirtz told his daughter. "Excuse me, passengers, but we will experience a slight delay in travelling to Tokyo," the intercom announced. "It's always something. Turbulence, headwind, pesky sons-in-law…" Doofenshmirtz stated. Ferb tried his hardest to delay that plane, stating, "I love, therefore I am!"
The next day, Isabella woke up early. "Hey Summer! Whatcha doin'… up so early?" she called down into the backyard. "Oh, hi mom! We're going to make the summer solstice so much longer!" Summer responded. Isabella rushed to right next to Summer, and said, "Go on…" Summer smiled, and waited a few seconds for Haley, Bella, Biff, Hans, and the rest of the Fireside Girls to show up. "Anyway, we're going to use this plane to fly around the world, and chase the sun! That ought to give us twenty-four whole hours to our clock! Add the fifteen hours in a typical summer solstice, and you get around a forty-hour day!" he finally elaborated. "Oh really?" asked someone from the back of the crowd. Isabella turned… yep, Biff.
Biff told him, "There is no way you can circumnavigate the globe to make today forty hours long. Your dad may have convinced my dad of the Flynn's sorcerous ways, but you won't convince me!" Summer took a second of shock, and claimed, "Anything is possible if you believe. You just gotta carpe diem!" Biff shook his head. "I don't believe, therefore it is impossible. I bet you can't do it!" Isabella sighed. "If you lose, you have to say you are governed by the laws of physics, unlike your father. What's more, you gotta spend the rest of your summer doing absolutely nothing!" Biff put forward. Mist asked, "Okay, Egg-chest. And what do you do if Summer wins?" Biff thought, and claimed, "I'll eat a bug!" Mist snarked, "You know, if we asked right now, you'd eat a bug, No-Brains." Biff sighed, scratched his head, and said, "I'll return everything I stole from you as children. I'll throw in the bug as well." Only Bella seemed to spot the gaping hole in this agreement.
"Summer! You're putting not only your beliefs on the line, but Phineas' as well!" she shouted. "Bella, listen. It's not about the reward. It's about the journey!" Summer exclaimed, and stepped onto the wing. "Boys, girls, mom, who wants to join me on this quest to chase the globe?" he shouted.
Doofenshmirtz picked up Vanessa, and carried her over Tokyo. "Dad, lemme go!" she shouted, and tried to free herself. Doofenshmirtz cackled, and said something completely unintelligible. "Dad?" she asked, and Doofenshmirtz shook himself out of it. "Sorry Vanessa, anyway. We've got ourselves an evil scheme to concoct!" he told her.
"Anyway, the route is like so. We're stopping in Tokyo and Paris for refuel," Summer explained. Bella squealed, and hopped in. Me and Summer are going to the City of Love! She thought. Biff got in, throwing Hans in as his carry-on. Daisy, who had shown up later, considered it, but decided on not going… though mentioning her cousins. Isabella decided that she would go, to see Phineas. "We got everyone?" Summer asked. Mist, Haley, Mom, Bella, Biff, Hans... "Good. Then let's go!" he roared, sending the plane into motion. Lara watched it go, before saying, "OK, we're down Bella and those stunt singers. But we can do this, just like our mothers did! Sam, India, get the others. Maylene, Lucy, get designing! Daisy, make yourself useful!"
Vanessa and Doofenshmirtz stood atop the Tokyo Tower. "Anyway, child, you and Ferb will be discredited. The Good Guy convention is just down there, and you will prank it with this giant water balloon! And the best part?" Doofenshmirtz started. Ferb saw them, and readied his weapon for use if things got out of hand.
Summer took a scratchy landing in Tokyo. "Summer! You idiot! You have to extend the wheels before landing!" Mist started. Haley shook his head, and climbed down to the old lady sitting in front of the house of Hirano. He said "Kon'nichiwa! Wareware wa, deijī no o tomodachidesu!" The old lady called up to the house, "Hey, everybody! Summer and Mist are here!" Everyone came out as they had last time, and began their techno beats…
Welcome to Tokyo
We are glad that you are here!
Leave everything up to us
And just enjoy your steer!
"Hey, do you still own that tempura restaurant? We need to refuel!"
As for what it is we do
We're like summer there
Here we like baseball
Not for the handsome hair!
And then there's the water
It's crisp and clean
Though it's missing our little friends
With their mouths of baleen!
"Man, Tokyo's a fun town!" Summer stated as they left the Hiranos. "Miss Flynn, what just happened?" Bella asked Isabella.
"Anyway, the best part is… 'I am Vanessa Doofenshmirtz. I dropped that water balloon. Ferb helped rig up this contraption!'" he said. Vanessa rolled her eyes. It still wasn't convincing. "Anyway, see you, Dad!" she smirked, walking away from him. The water balloon started randomly spinning, knocking Vanessa into the cockpit of a passing plane. Doofenshmirtz looked up at Ferb, who had launched it who knows where, and cursed him. He saluted, and dragged him into a vehicle. "We are going to get Vanessa. And then I'm dropping you in whatever the nearest ocean is," he said. Doofenshmirtz' eyes widened, but the car flew off.
"Anyway, Vanessa, we should make it to… wait… Mist, we didn't account for an extra adult, right?" Summer stated. Mist looked at the controls, and cursed. "For a girl who fights evil for a living, you sure weigh a whole ton. No one should be able to adjust our altitude to the level that… we don't have wings," she told Vanessa. The plane seemed to realise it, and fell straight down. "NANG NANG NANG NANG NANG NANG!" Klimpaloon stated as he walked past. "Anyway, we'll go see Hans' great Uncle Sabu. Mom, Vanessa, you can stay here," Summer stated. Isabella shrugged. "The novelty wore off after the first time," she said. "And I think Doofenshmirtz might be pursuing me…" Vanessa stated.
Hans bowed as he saw great-Uncle Sabu. "Hey, Hans. You lot want to see what we make in our little factory?" he asked. They all nodded, and Sabu stated, "We have a musical number… we've sung it before, so we are practised…"
Rubber bands, rubber balls!
Made with super-special density!
Rubber bands, rubber balls!
They can bounce with such intensity!
This is the room where we test the stretching
This is the room where we test the bounce!
Here we add the long-chained hydrocarbons
The names of which I cannot pronounce!
This is the room where we test compression!
This is the room where we test recoil!
This is a break room for all these dancers
And here's a little fridge so the curry won't spoil!
Rubber bands, rubber balls!
Made with super-special density!
Rubber bands, rubber balls!
They can bounce with such intensity!
Basically what we make here is rubber
We're not trying to diversify.
We don't make knick-knacks, we don't make tchotchkes
Or really anything that's gonna catch your eye.
We don't make pianos, we don't make cream sodas
We don't make the zipper for your parachute pants!
We don't make ice-cube trays or ceiling fans!
We make rubber bands!
Rubber bands, rubber balls!
Made with super-special density!
Rubber bands, rubber balls!
They can bounce with such intensity!
"Hey, Sabu, could we borrow one of these?" Summer asked.
Ferb looked down at the mountain. "Contrary to your belief, this does not count as me shoving you into the nearest ocean," he stated, and shoved Doofenshmirtz out of the car. He snowballed, and headed towards the plane. Vanessa turned, wondering what was happening. She and Isabella rushed to the plane, where the others were just getting finished with their preparations. "Anyway… three, two, one…" Summer stated, before the snowball flung them perfectly.
Ferb stared at Doofenshmirtz's broken body. Doofenshmirtz got up, and stared at Ferb. "You know, I'm still shoving you into an ocean," Ferb stated.
The rubber band ball burst. Haley looked down, and stated, "Good news, we'll land in Paris. Bad news, we'll crash land in Paris." After that event, Summer suggested splitting up. "Mom, you go find Dad. Vanessa, you go do your undefined thing. Biff, Hans, go find some rocket fuel. Mist, Haley, can you go examine the wind on the Eiffel Tower? And Bella, you can come with me," he suggested. Isabella nodded and left, Vanessa just left, Biff picked up Hans and boasted while leaving, Mist told Haley, "I'm agreeing because I want to see you in action. Not because I like you, which I don't," and Bella squealed.
Isabella began combing Paris for La Poubelle. She spotted it, and walked up. "Hi, Phineas. Whatcha doin'?" she asked. Phineas smirked, saying, "Oh, I've just been working on my little tests. You?" Isabella gave a sad little face. "Summer's circumnavigating the globe. He made a similar plan to yours… with the bet," she told him. Phineas gasped, and asked Isabella who had a crush on Summer. "Bella. Katie's daughter," she said simply, and Katie peeked out of the building. "Chief! Can you please return the favour?" she asked. "Sure thing, Katie. Good luck with your project," Isabella said, before leaving to go find Summer. A keen listener would have picked up the line, "If Phineas hasn't done it by now, how could he finish it at all?"
Hans took the helm. "Do you have any used cooking oil?" he asked the restaurant owner. He said a firm, "No." Biff pushed him aside, and told the owner, "Puissions-nous s'il vous plaît utiliser un peu d'huile de cuisson usagée, mon bon monsieur?" The owner nodded. Biff told Hans, "Not one word."
Vanessa sat atop the Eiffel Tower, looking out to the beautiful waters. Haley was working behind them, and she thought she heard Mist say, "Good one, Haley. Not you, the machine." She blinked. Doofenshmirtz and Ferb were hovering just below her. She shrugged, and hopped in. "Hey, dad. How did you get Ferb to help you?" she asked. They stopped… above the Atlantic Ocean. "Ferb… perhaps we should rebargain…" Doofenshmirtz started, but Ferb pushed him into the sea. They left, Ferb telling Isabella by private communication that Vanessa was with him.
Summer stared at the finished boat-plane thing. Bella pouted, and sat in one of the seats. She didn't get Summer to notice her… after all that… "Hi, Mist? How did it go?" he asked. "Fine," was the response. "Did you?" Summer asked, and Mist said, "No. I don't like him like that!" Summer sighed in disappointment, and Bella nearly snapped. Isabella hopped in, mentioned Vanessa was gone, and sighed. "Dad?" Summer asked, and Isabella nodded.
Bella hopped next to Isabella. "Miss Flynn, you have to believe! Mr Flynn is going to do the best he can do! And so can you!" she tried to encourage. "So, Bella? It's easy for you to say. Summer belongs to you!" she cursed. "No. Summer belongs to everyone. You just have to believe! Besides, when you were a kid, everything fell into your lap!" Bella responded. "You're Isabella Garcia-Shapiro! You're the leader of Fireside Troop 46231! You got so many 'Help Thy Neighbour' patches out of Phineas, you couldn't fit them onto the one sash! You got Phineas to fall in love with you!" she goaded. Isabella came to the realisation, "You're right! I've become too much like Phineas! I've forgotten about the ways of 'Carpe Diem!'" she proclaimed. "And I've regretted it for the past hour!" someone stated.
"PHINEAS!" Isabella cried out, hugging her husband. "MOM!" Bella cried, hugging Katie. "Isabella, you're right. All this talk about our project, and I failed to notice… we did the impossible together in a single day! If I haven't finished this yet, why should I be able to? I have to carpe diem, just like you said!" Phineas told Isabella. "OK, Phineas. We just have to get back to Danville!" she said. Everyone hopped in, and they rushed up to get home!
The water balloon, like last time, boosted them forward. Phineas cheered, but Bella wasn't so sure. "Um, mom… why are the baguettes…" she asked, pointing nervously at the buoyancy devices. Doofenshmirtz climbed onto the ship, and drew a dagger. Phineas gasped, and dived under the seat. He pulled out a screw, and the ship fell apart. Doofenshmirtz might have fallen far behind, but they landed on an island… the island with two palm trees and a big fat ox. Phineas sighed, and fell into Isabella's arms. Summer stomped in frustration. "We've got an ox, two trees, a rubber band, the seats… and sand. Dad… you may have just screwed up the Flynn legacy," he told Phineas. Bella sighed, and stared at the sunset.
Summer, after combing the island for anything Phineas might have missed, fell down next to Bella. "Bella… I think we might just be stranded here…" he said. Bella, despite realising the potential romance of what was about to happen, sighed. "Summer Flynn, you are not going to sit there and take it. You're inventiveness is what I fell in…to this situation with. You are going to stick by Haley's map… and I'll stick by you!" she said, and Summer realised. "Haley, the giant map!" he called over. Phineas got to work getting everyone to fold the map, and Bella sighed. "Just once… how did Isabella do it?" she muttered. The plane was finished, and they slingshotted with the rubber band.
They crashed next to Buford's house. They began to rush to Phineas' house, but the road works were in the way… "OK, Summer. What was the winning conditions?" Phineas asked. "Biff would return the stuff he stole," Summer said simply. Phineas took a second to look at the roadworks, but Mist was faster… and snarkier. "Eggchest's got a bicycle from each of us, and a couple of spares from Uncle Buford," she said. "Slower… and without the name, please," Isabella started, but Biff understood. He threw all of the bikes in front of their owners, and led the charge. "Biff, why are you helping?" Isabella asked. She looked at the sunset, and quickly said, "Never mind," and hopped on one of the spares. Everyone used the bikes to jump the ramp convieniently placed where it was last time around.
"Where are they?" India nearly wailed. She seemed extremely keyed up. "Don't worry… they'll make it!" Sam proudly claimed. Lucy cried out, "Seven seconds until sundown!" Maylene considered it, and said, "Maybe it'll help if we count!" The Fireside Girls began… "Five! Four! THREE! TWO!" and there were several thumps right behind them. "ONE!" Bella finished, and the sun set for real. She hugged Summer, praising him. Summer shrugged, and looked to what Lara had set up. The Fireside Girls began to play a cheery melody, and Summer took his cue.
(Sorry about the nature of this musical number, but there wasn't really an efficient way of tackling it)
Summer: It's been a long, long day
And there were moments when I doubted…
Bella: That we'd ever reach the point where we could
Laugh and sing about it…
Summer & Bella: Now the sun has set on this,
Another extraordinary day…
And when it comes around again
You know I'll say…
Tell me what you wanna do today
All we need is a place to start
If we have heart, we'll make it
Cause we're not messing around (Mist: we're not messing around)
Yes we can
Dream it, do it, build it, make it
I know we can really take it
To the limit, before the sun goes down…
As soon as you wake up, you gotta make your move…
Don't miss the beat, just get into the groove…
The sun is shining, there's a lot that you can do…
(Haley: A lot that you can do)
There's a world of possibilities outside your door!
Why settle for a little? You can get much more!
Don't need an invitation, every day is new…
Yes it's true…
Summer belongs to you! (All: Summer belongs to you!)
Summer belongs to you! (All: Summer belongs to you!)
Summer belongs to everyone, so have some fun!
There's nothing better to do
Summer belongs to you!
"Alright, Summer. I'm taking this verse." "Be my guest!"
Isabella: I travelled halfway around the world
And almost turned and ran away…
But you helped me get my courage back
So now I've gotta say…
That though I've often seen you
As just poor birth control…
Today I can't imagine
Having better young souls…
And you gotta believe in something…
So today I believed in you
And you came through, we made it
I've never been so proud (Summer: never been so proud)
I know at first it sounded cliché
But we've conquered our stray
Now there's something that we've
Ought have said by now!
Phineas: Time is what you make of it, so take a chance! (Isabella: That's it)
Life is full of music, so you ought to dance! (Isabella: He's got it!)
The world's a stage, and it's time for your debut… (Isabella: By Jove, I think he's got it!)
Don't waste a minute sitting on that chair! (Isabella: Yeah!)
The world's callin' so, just get out there! (Isabella: That's what we're talking about!)
You can see forever, so your dreams are all in view!
Summer: Yes it's true…
Summer, Bella, Phineas & Isabella: Summer belongs to you! (All: Summer belongs to you)
Summer belongs to you! (All: Summer belongs to you)
Summer belongs to everyone, so have some fun
There's nothing better to do
Summer belongs to you! (All: Summer belongs to you)
Summer belongs to you! (All: Summer belongs to you)
Summer belongs to boys and girls around the world
We wouldn't say it if it wasn't true
Summer belongs to you! (All: Summer belongs to you)
Mist & Haley: Baby, baby, baby, baby
Summer & Bella: Summer belongs to you! (All: Summer belongs to you)
Summer belongs to you! (All: Summer belongs to you)
Whatever you want to do, you make the rules
You got the tools to see it through
Summer belongs to you! (All: Summer belongs to you)
Summer belongs to you! (All: Summer belongs to you)
Just remember that you can do it and when you're through it
Will change your point of view
Phineas81707: Summer belongs to you!
Oh yeah, summer belongs to you. If you live in the Northern Hemisphere... us South Hemisphere chaps are getting winter. I'm jealous, actually...
Anyway, so this is the last of the directly-from-the-show chapters. I was considering doing the movie, but that would be far more confusing with the variety of characters I've concocted... there are three Isabellas (not counting the real one), two Ferbs, and two Candaces at present. ...Yeah, I'm bailing out now.
Anyway, next time, we will visit our other-dimension counterparts. That much is confirmed. There is more content I have planned, but it is possible none of it will find itself in the next part.
