A while ago, Irving noticed a blonde boy when he was reviewing the picture he just took, and then notified Phineas, Ferb and the four kids that were supposed to be supervising the project.
"So I was making selfies with this project, and when I was looking back at the photos I noticed this kid in white clothes, randomly appearing from our project, running away", he explained.
Timmy recognized the boy, and he wasn't very happy about it.
"That's Remy Buxaplenty, one of the populars", Timmy told Irving, "and it always seems trouble's a-brewing when he gets involved."
"Doesn't sound like the most pleasant guy to be around with", Phineas said. "Hey, do you think he might be a spy Trixie may have sent? I mean, they're both popular, right?"
"Honestly, I doubt it", Timmy said in disbelief.
"I heard he has a crush on Trixie too", Chloe said teasingly. "You a little jealous?"
Timmy's face got a little red when he said at a peeved tone: "Hey, shut up!"
"Kidding, kidding", Chloe said.
"Whether Timmy's being jealous or not", AJ said, "I think keeping an eye on Remy should be a necessity."
"All right then", Phineas agreed. "Irving, if you see someone else getting to our project, could you notify us again?"
"Roger that!" Irving replied.
The group split up back to their previous activities.
When Timmy and Chloe are left alone, Timmy's bracelets turned back into Cosmo, Wanda and Poof. Cosmo held a sandwich.
"Ugh, Remy, again?", Cosmo exclaimed while eating. "Every time we cross paths with him, he seems up to no good! Especially with that showboat of a Juandissimo on his side!"
"As much as I agree with you", Wanda told him, "Jorgen already took Juandissimo away for Remy for wishing too often about torturing a specific person that technically did nothing against him."
"Oh yeah", Cosmo remembered. "Wait, then why should we mind him again?"
"Because he still is a grade-A jerk that has a lot of money and wants me to suffer out of pure jealousy", Timmy told the green-haired fairy.
"Well, sport, you're very lucky that Phineas is friends with such an alert guy", Wanda told Timmy.
"Yeah, you also should make friends with overobsessed freaks like him!", Cosmo blurted out, who then gets hit by a hammer Wanda poofed up. This made Poof giggle. "Ow", he said. Cosmo then ate his sandwich to somehow ease the pain.
"Well, we can't just sit here doing nothing", Chloe said. "I wish for radar devices that can show us if Remy gets near our project!"
Cosmo and Wanda poofed up two circular, remote-like devices with built-in radars.
"Okay, now what?" Timmy asked.
"Timmy, if Remy is indeed up to no good, we can spot him these devices", Chloe replied.
"Yeah, but do we know what exactly he is up to?" Timmy retorted.
Chloe had to think about that.
"Yeah, thought so", Timmy said. "I wish these devices have a built-in camera option, so we can see what Remy is actually up to."
Two poofs can be heard and the devices got a screen-like extension, and two floating cameras appeared.
"Tap on any dot on the radar, and these cameras should follow the person on those coordinates", Wanda explained.
Cosmo wanted to try it out, pressing on any dot he sees, but nothing happens. "Why isn't this working?!"
"Cosmo, you're pressing on the breadcrumbs of that sandwich you just ate", Wanda said to Cosmo with a slight leer.
Cosmo then realized his face is full of breadcrumbs and he's crumbling said breadcrumbs everywhere. "Oh", he nonchalantly said and poofed all breadcrumbs away.
Poof tried out the radar function himself. The baby fairy pressed on a white dot on Timmy's device, as the corresponding camera went to Isabella. Enthustiastic about the fact that it showed him something, the baby fairy exclaimed: "Poof, poof!"
The pink bow-wearing girl then dropped a notepad, and quickly picked it up. She apparently scribbled a heart on it with 'I + P' written inside. This made Wanda realize something.
"Say Timmy", Wanda said, "Aren't you breaking Remy's privacy a little too much with those cameras?"
"It should be fine if they stay within the radius of Phineas and Ferb's project", Timmy stated. "And that's our main priority, right?"
Wanda has no other objections, but right when she wanted to say something, Phineas appeared, so the two fairy godparents and their fairy child turned back into bracelets.
"Oh, there you are, Timmy!", Phineas said. "Heh, usually I say this when Perry is back. Anyway, how are you and Chloe?"
"We're fine: we just prepared ourselves against intruders", Chloe replied.
Phineas noticed the two remote radars and the floating cameras. "I presume by getting these doodads. They look cool; where'd you get 'em?"
"Ummm... Internet... again?" Timmy replied.
"That too?" Phineas responded. Then he continued with doubt: "Hum, never seen it on the internet before, though." The red-haired boy squinted his eyes as if he suspected something, but then he said with a bright smile: "Oh well. Must be an exclusive prototype. Good luck with your things!"
Then Phineas went off.
"Whew, that was close", Timmy said as Phineas disappeared in the distance. Then he said to Chloe: "So, now we play the waiting game."
A little while later, Timmy and Chloe noticed a white dot on their radars. Tapping on the dots, they activated their cameras, which zoomed towards the moving location of the dot. The screen on their remote showed, as they expected, Remy with a wrench.
"Guys", Timmy said, "I think it's time for some little fun."
Remy Buxaplenty just returned from the tools department, having bought a wrench. Upon returning to the contraption by Phineas and Ferb, he suddenly remembered there are still lookouts to... um, look out for.
However, there was no kid in sight, so he silently walked to a tube in the middle of the project.
Unbeknownst to him, two flying cameras, barely visible from his viewpoint, started recording him at that point. These belonged to Timmy and Chloe's devices, remote-like radars with video.
Finally reaching the tube, he pulled out his wrench and focused on a nut, fastened between the tube he walked up to, and another one.
With all his might, Remy slightly loosened the nut. Then Remy repeated this process on three separate locations of the project.
"There", Remy said. "If my calculations are correct, this things's going to crash within seconds. And then, bye-bye, bet!"
At the same time, however, Timmy already whispered: "I wish those loose nuts got fastened as securely as they can." The bracelet Godparents waved their wands, and his bracelet baby godbrother waved his rattle, reverting Remy's doings with a poof.
This went completely unnoticed by the snooty rich boy, as he still proudly stood there, waiting for the attraction to collapse.
"Any second", he told himself. Then he said: "Any minute now", which was then followed by: "Any moment...", but when the creation still hasn't collapsed, Remy realized something went wrong.
"Hmm, maybe I loosened at the wrong parts", and he walked up to the first nut he unscrewed.
"WHAT THE?!"
Remy discovered his sabotaging was undone immediately, and he never even noticed a thing. In fact, the nuts seem more fastened than ever!
With an angered face, Remy tried unscrewing the nut again, but this time, no results.
After a full minute of pulling his wrench with no avail, Remy gave up and tried to think of a new way to get this contraption no more.
Honestly, he could've tried to loosen the other nuts, but if they can refasten them immediately, and get them so stuck they can't be budged, then what's the point? He'd be wasting his time, and if all the wasted time ends up at 5 o'clock, it would've been all effort for no result. Remy was better off trying to think of something else.
He then noticed Buford and Baljeet already painting the tubes in the distance, using two swingset-like platforms that are connected via a rope, and could be moved with wheels. They couldn't quite get along, as Baljeet constantly stumbled on one side, which already did cause the unbalance, but Buford the purposefully tilted his platform around, causing Baljeet to stumble even more.
Baljeet's stumbling brought Remy upon another idea. He bought some some wax and waited until the two unoccupied their device. Then he waxed the platform Baljeet stood on, and also the wheels, before hiding again.
If everything goes according to plan, the Indian boy would slip up when climbing the platform, causing the wheeled contraption to move on its own thanks to the wheels being waxed, hopefully crashing that wretched project. Best part: poor Baljeet would get the blame for being so clumsy. Remy always finds it amusing that best friends blame each other for anything going wrong.
However, the second sabotaging act didn't go unnoticed by the two flying cameras either.
It was Chloe's time for a wish, as she stated: "I wish the wax was removed from the wheels and the platform...", then she made a sly grin, finishing with: "and would be replaced under Remy's feet instead."
Cosmo, Wanda and Poof waved their wands, and the contraption was completely unwaxed, while the soles of Remy's shoes were waxed in place.
Of course, Remy didn't realize this at all and was completely surprised when Baljeet, after returning from a break, didn't slip up as badly as he thought he would.
Did that triangle boy give his Indian friend some shoes with extra adhesion or something? Remy decided to take a closer look...
...but instead slipped up because his shoes are waxed for some reason. He crashed right unto a tube (and no, it didn't do any noticeable damage).
Remy promptly got kicked away from the project by Buford, who came to the other side quite quickly.
The nut loosening didn't work, the waxing didn't work. Remy almost swore that they failed by magic.
Remy's quickly thinking up some more plans to level the towering project.
A Sabotaging Sequence went into full play, accompanied with the Quirky Worky Song again. Remy tried all sorts of ways to get this project down, only to end in failure immediately without even knowing his archnemesis was behind the undoing.
Each scheme got more drastic than the last, failed twice as hard and made Remy's presence three times more obvious. From switching the blueprints out with fake ones with slight differences, to using termites to chomp down on any wood, to even using an enlarged bowling ball and 'accidentally' redirecting it to the project.
The blueprints somehow switched back, the termites were distracted by a wooden pencil Remy had in his own pocket, and the bowling ball somehow took an early ride without crashing anything.
That last wonder actually got the rest of the group surprised, with Ferb even saying: "We definitely should prohibit bowling balls from early free rides."
After the sequence ends, it's already an hour later than when Remy decided to sabotage the boys. He was no further than when he started, and they boys are almost done with their project. He was actually more surprised at how little time his many schemes took in total, rather than all of them fashionably failing.
By now, he was pretty sure Timmy was behind all of his failures. A while back, he finally took notice of the cameras, and they only seem to follow him when he gets near the project. If he wanted any following scheme to succeed, he had to do it from a distance, which is impossible if he wanted to stay unnoticed.
He needed a buddy, a partner, for his final scheme. He had a very destructive, and disgusting, scheme planned. A scheme that would end his popularity in seconds if it ever got out. And that's why he needs someone that hates Timmy just as much as he did.
He went to the chemical department, and left the place while holding a flask containing a clear liquid. Carefully carrying it around, he then went to the mall gym.
Author's Notes: So, this is the chapter where the other part of the original eighth chapter went to.
So, what scheme does Remy have planned? What's that flask containing? Who will he partner up with? We'll focus on that in the next few chapters... as our focus shifts to a certain long-necked teenage girl and a popular pretending to be a boy. See you then!
