Authors Note: Wrapping up two tasks here. Since school started I don't feel like typing anything extraordinary, although I did manage to write a lot for this….

So, who wants to find out the meaning of Tralfaz?

He and Perry the Platypus were in love! How could he have not seen it before? It was so obvious that it was hidden from his view. That's why their relationship was strained right now and that's why his nemesis was so upset!

The platypus was upset because he felt that his feelings were unnoticed and he was depressed because of it; and their relationship was strained because he was too oblivious to return Perry's feelings. Of course that was it! It made perfect sense…to him at least, but there was still that one question.

Did he return the feelings and love the animal back?

Well according to this magazine they've been dating for the past five years and he just hadn't realized it. How do you not notice you're destined to be in a relationship with someone? He had to be the most oblivious male inventor in the whole world!

…

Phineas continued to stare out at the horizon through his binoculars, he didn't notice that he was facing the wrong way and the battle was taking place behind him. How that boy managed to not notice flying and booming cannons and crumbling walls, no one knows. Isabella walked over to him, clearly not pleased.

"Um, Watcha Doin?"

"Keeping watch." The boy responded, taking his eyes out of the binoculars to talk to her and then putting them back to where they were the entire time this battle was happening. "I think they're ready to forfeit. They haven't fired a single cannon yet."

The girl rolled her eyes as another cannon ball fired into their castle, crumbling some walls. "Uh Phineas?"

"Yeah?"

"…Did uh…did anyone drop you while you were a baby?"

"My aunt did once, why?"

Another cannon flew straight over their heads "Oh…no reason…"

…

"This is so cool! It's just like a real war! You're brothers are amazing, Candace!"

"Yep…that's what they are…" She scratched the back of her head and tried to sound more enthusiastic "So on our last picnic in here, you never really got to tell me what you liked about me."

"Oh yeah, I didn't." He loaded the cannon with their last cannon ball.

"So I was wondering…if…maybe you could tell me now?" Candace grinned.

"Of course! Um…let me think…oh yeah! What I like about you is-"

Buford and Baljeet came back empty handed. The smaller boy explained for both of them "I am sorry, we could not find any cannonballs."

"OH COME ON!" Candace screamed and slammed her fist down on the cannon. It fired and the cannonball flew off course. "Whoops…"

…

Isabella stared at the clueless boy. Why couldn't he for once take notice of her? Why did she have to fight for his attention all the time? And even when she won it, it only lasted for so long. She was sick of it and she didn't know whether to blame the imaginary wall or herself. Maybe she wasn't trying hard enough…but what did she have to do? Did she have to get hit by a cannonball to gain his affection?

I am not sorry to say that that is exactly what happened. She heard the sound of another cannon being fired and she suddenly heard this whoosh behind her. She turned around just in time to see large black ball hit her straight in the stomach. It knocked her back into the wall, it cracked behind her as she slid to the ground just a few feet away from the young inventor. This didn't go unnoticed by Phineas, he turned and screamed.

"ISABELLA!" He ran over to her and lifted her head. "Isabella! Are you alright?"

Isabella opened her eyes and everything slowly started to come into focus. The first thing she saw was Phineas over her and she sighed happily. She had finally had his attention for more than a second. It was nice while it lasted though. Her head was dropped carelessly and made a thud against the old concrete. "Ow!" She squealed and rubbed her head, sitting up to watch Phineas stomp away from her.

Ferb was aiming a cannon when he was roughly shoved aside by his step-brother. He fell off the castle and landed unharmed in a wooden cart of hay. He watched his brother silently from down below. What the devil has gotten into him?

Phineas stopped thinking reasonably and a furious expression was plastered across his face. He shoved Ferb out of the way and aimed the cannon on his own. He lit the fuse and fired at the rival castle, he didn't know why or what he was doing but he couldn't stop himself. He was way too angry, in fact he was way past angry. He was furious. The cannonball flew through the air, headed straight for Baljeet, Buford, Candace and Jeremy's castle.

…

Doofenshmirtz watched the glum looking Perry from around a corner. How was he going to do this? How did you show someone you cared about them? He's been out of the game for so long that he wasn't even sure he knew how to play anymore. He decided he'd just wing it as he went along so he hesitantly walked over and sat beside him on the crate. The platypus stared at him in a very awkward silence.

"You're so cute when you're confused."

What?

…

A loud boom and the sound of hard rocks shattering and crumbling to the ground, filled the dome. Team Two's castle was completely destroyed, the members climbed out of the wreckage. No one seemed that upset, well…except for Candace.

"PHINEAS AND FERB! YOU GUYS ARE SO BUSTED!"

…

"Phineas, you did it!" Isabella hugged him "We won! You also avenged me! It was like a dream come true!"

Phineas looked confused and a little dazed, haven broken out of his anger induced trance. "What did I do again?"

She pulled back from the hug with her eyes narrowed, she sighed "Nothing, nothing at all."

"Isabella, my head hurts. What just happened?"

"I fired a cannon and it destroyed their castle."

"Oh…Good for you!"

"Yup…good for me…"

…

"Alright gang, we finished the first task so now we have to get through the second." Phineas told them. "We have to become wizards and steal shoelaces."

Candace looked around "Am I the only one who thinks that this makes absolutely no sense?" No one answered her and her brother went onward.

"So if everyone would please put on these costumes that Ferb is currently unloading as I speak-" He looked at Ferb who was indeed unloading a crate full of costumes using a forklift. "Then we can begin our next task."

The crate was spilled over and on the ground was purple cloaks and wands and fake beards and sneakers. Everyone went through the box and was given a costume. They all either had wands and purple hats/cloaks with white stars or sneakers. The wizard costumes included a fake and itchy white beard. They were suited up and ready to start the next event.

…

Doof scratched the back of his head awkwardly. The compliments didn't seem to be working at all. Phineas appeared and threw a costume on each of them. The platypus had a beard and wand and the scientist had a pair of sneakers on that basically looked just like his regular shoes.

"We had two extra costumes and I didn't want to waste them." The boy shrugged and then walked away, elbowing the doctor in the ribs to let him know that their deal still stood.

Heinz rubbed the sore spot and looked back down at the mammal sitting by his side. "That beard makes you look sophisticated."

The animal gave him a 'really' look and snatched the beard from his face, tossing it aside and putting his face in his hands.

…

"We're going to split into Teams again for this task." Phineas told them "We're separating into wizards and people with shoelaces. Our team- team one –will be the people with shoelaces and team two will be the wizards. The wizards have to try and get the shoelaces. If all shoelaces are stolen then team two wins and if the shoelaces remain on their wearers feet then team one wins. Everyone got that? It's like tag mixed with hide and seek mixed with wizards and shoelaces."

The children nodded and murmured agreements.

"Great! Go!"

…

"I like the way you punch me in the face…?" Doofenshmirtz chuckled, trying again.

…

Phineas and Isabella hid behind some crates.

"They'll never find us here!" The boy smiled proudly.

The girl face palmed and shook her head.

"What?" He asked "Why the face palm?"

Isabella pointed to Buford who was right in front of them.

"Run!" Phineas yelled, grabbing her hand and leading her away from the bully. He didn't notice the dreamy sigh she gave as they fled together.

…

"Why did you not take their shoelaces when you had the chance?!" Baljeet scolded the rotund boy.

Buford pushed him out of the way "I don't see you doing anything nerdo!"

…

Ferb hid silently behind a barrel, watching and waiting. He jumped and spun around when he was tapped on the shoulder by someone.

"Hey Ferb!"

"Vanessa?" The brit stared at her. They really needed to learn how to lock their inventions.

"What's up?"

The boy pointed behind them at Irving getting his shoelaces ripped off by Buford. The teen laughed "So it's like hide and seek mixed with tag mixed with wizards and shoelaces then?"

Ferb nodded and grabbed her hand, leading her from behind the wooden barrel. She heard a voice and pulled both of them back behind it.

"Shoot! My dad's here?"

Again, Ferb nodded.

"He thinks I'm in summer school right now! If he sees me then I'm dead! I better go-" Vanessa turned to find the exit, the boy pulled her back.

"I'll help you hide from him and then you could say you just got here when we're done. I'm sure your classes will be over by then."

"You know what? I'd like that. So where do I hide so he won't find me in here?"

"I'll hide with you."

"Won't Phineas and everyone else be looking for you?" She asked as they walked away hand in hand.

"They'll never know I'm gone." He replied, placing a fedora on his head.

Ferb! Sang some female singers.

…

"I keep trying to ask you something and just when you're about to give the answer we always get cut off, so this time I have taken every precaution necessary. Which is why we're hiding up in team one's castle. No one will be able to interrupt us up here."

"But Candace we're supposed to be helping Baljeet and Buford get all the shoelaces." Jeremy frowned.

"They can handle it!" She waved it off and got down to business "So, what do you like about me?"

"All throughout history men fall in love with women

You want to know why, well, let's start from the beginning

I've come to set the record straight-!"

"…You can't make this easy can you?"

…

"Will you stop fooling around?" Baljeet put his hands on his hips "We need to focus on the task at hand here, you know."

Buford rolled his eyes and let go of Irving's underwear. The boy fell to the ground with a pained groan, not being able to feel his groin properly.

…

"I love your tail Perry the Platypus, it's just so soft and- and orange. Just like your freaky duck bill! I like that too! …Wait! No-! It- It's not freaky at all-! I-…ugh!"

…

Phineas and Isabella kept running for their lives- better yet their shoelaces. The girl was panting.

"Phineas, c-can we slow down just a bit? They're not behind us anymore!"

His sneakers skidded to a stop and they both tried to catch their breath "Sorry Isabella, I guess I just got carried away trying to keep them away from you."

Wait what? "Wait what?" She blinked "What do you mean trying to keep them away from me?"

"If they catch you they'll try and take your shoelaces right?"

"Yeah?"

"They'll do anything to get those shoelaces! Even tackling you or throwing you down! I wouldn't be able watch that happen, heck I'd hate to see anything bad happen to you Isabella! I just wouldn't be able to take it…" He trailed off.

Isabella stared at him. Did he really just say what she thought he just said? Eeee! She squealed in her head.

"I guess that's kind of stupid, huh?" Phineas looked down and kicked a rock.

She hugged him and he looked shocked "Of course it isn't Phineas! It's beautiful! It's like I'm in Phineasland for real!"

"Okay good…" He smiled and then frowned "Wait what?"

…

Ferb and Vanessa sat on the concrete floor alone.

"This is the perfect hiding spot Ferb! My dad won't find me up here!"

The boy gave her a thumbs up and a cheesy grin.

She nodded and looked around "So…what do you want to do?"

Ferb was pretty sure he felt his heart skip a beat.

…

"If you want to know sincerely

Listen up, I'll tell you clearly

What I like about you is-!"

…

"Sooooooo…" Doofenshmirtz stretched the word "What do you want to do?"

Perry looked up at him, grabbing his hand and leading him away. Doof smiled, now they were getting somewhere!

…

Isabella continued hugging the boy of her dreams, to her surprise he hadn't pulled away yet. Phineas held the girl, silently playing with her hair. They were hugging for a while and should have separated by now but…he didn't want to. Does that sound crazy? He just didn't want to let go. He just wanted to continue holding her and he didn't know why he felt this way. Phineas could tell that neither of them were separating any time soon so he closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of their embrace. He heard a twig snap and his eyes shot open just in time.

"Isabella, look out!" Phineas pushed her out of the hug and he was knocked to the ground, all the air was pushed out of his lungs.

"Phineas!" She yelled and then glared in another direction "You'll pay for that Buford!" Isabella was about to run after him when her hand was grabbed.

"N-no Isabella! Save yourself! It's…too late for me…"

She gasped when she looked down at his feet. His shoelaces were gone! "I won't leave you here!"

"I'll be fine…just…" Phineas' eyes widened when he saw Buford coming back around "Run Isabella! RUN!"

She did as she was told and ran for the life of her shoelaces. The rotund boy stepped over him to chase after her. There was no way they were getting to Isabella! They'd have to get through him first! He grabbed Buford's leg and hung on, not letting go no matter how much the bully tried to shake free.

…

"Do you hear that?" Vanessa asked him and put a hand to her ear to be able to hear more "It sounds like singing…"

Ferb put his hand to his ear also, nodding. Someone was indeed singing.

…

"I've come to set the record straight…

I've come to set the record straight…

From scientific propagation of the species

To poets and philosophers, your Baudelaires and Nietzsches

I've come to set the record straight…

I've come to set the record straight!"

…

"What are you doing this time Buford?"

"Shut up and help me with this!" The large boy lifted the cannon from out of the wreckage of their castle. Baljeet ran over to help him, it was heavy but with both of them lifting it they were able to completely pull it out and place it standing on the dirt. "I saw some shadows in the other castle, we can draw them out with this."

"I don't think that is such a good idea. What if someone gets hurt?"

"Dinnerbell didn't ask that question when he destroyed our castle…with us inside of it!"

"Good point."

"Help me aim it!"

…

"SHUT UP!" Candace screamed, making her boyfriend jump back and stop singing "I- I mean…look that song's really nice and all but can you just tell me why you like me?"

"Sure." Jeremy shrugged "The thing I like about you is…"

"Yes? Yes? What is it?!" She screamed in anticipation.

"Is…" He opened his mouth to speak but instead of a reason, out came the sound of rumbling and rocks cracking. The structure shook and it started to collapse.

"PHINEAS AND FERB!"

…

"Woah!" Vanessa exclaimed when the castle started shaking, Ferb grabbed her hand and they both began running to the exit.

…

Phineas soon joined everyone, staring at the second destroyed castle. "What happened?"

"PHINEAS!" Candace yelled and pushed herself from under a large piece of rock. She grabbed her brother's collar and brought him up to eye level, shaking him roughly "What is the meaning of this? Are you trying to kill me you little psycho!" Patches of her hair was missing and she had a number sign scar on her left cheek, that and her clothes were badly torn.

Jeremy walked out of the rubble looking completely fine except for a small cut on his forehead that was barely noticeable. Of course Candace took notice to this though, treating it like it was worse than her obviously and painfully noticeable injuries. She carelessly dropped her brother on the ground and ran to him.

"Jeremy! Oh my gosh, you're hurt! Phineas, when mom hears about you injuring my boyfriend you are gonna be SO busted!"

The young inventor shrugged "I didn't knock down the castle."

"If you didn't then who did?"

Phineas was about to answer when something way more important came to his mind, wait make that someone. "Isabella! Where's Isabella?!"

"I'm right here." She came out of nowhere, smiling at him.

The boy sighed in relief.

"We won! In your face losers! Buford won! Woo-hoo!" Buford cheered.

"Not so fast!" Phineas glared "You didn't get Isabella's shoelaces. Therefore you lose!" He crossed his arms smugly.

"Actually Phineas…" Isabella looked down to her lace-less shoes and the boy followed her gaze, gasping. She sadly nodded.

"That's okay Isabella, winning doesn't matter right? As long as we all had fun and- Hey, Where's Ferb?" He looked around for his step-brother and so did everyone else.

"Ahem…"

All pairs of eyes turned to the sight of the green haired boy, shoelaces intact and standing alone. Ferb stood in triumph.

"This is an outrage! I demand a rematch!" The bully demanded.

"Sorry Buford, we don't have time for a rematch. We have to get through with the other tasks and now that this is over, we have to start task number three!" Phineas smiled.

"What's task number three?" Candace crossed her arms, uninterested and magically healed as if a castle didn't come crashing down on top of her.

"Pushing an actor out a window!" The smile didn't fade on the optimistic boy.

"Where are we going to find an actor?"

Her brother rubbed his chin in thought "We could have someone pretend to be an actor and then push them out a window."

"But who here would voluntarily get pushed out a window?"

There was the sound of a flush and Doofenshmirtz and Perry walked into the scene, Doof scowled at the animal "You know when I asked what you wanted to do, I didn't think of 'going to the bathroom' as an activity! I'm just happy I didn't have to go in there with you! THAT would have been awkward, you know unless you're in to that sort of thing…are you?"

Perry shook his head no.

"I didn't think so…" Heinz noticed everyone staring and smiling at him "What? Why're you all looking at me like that?"

Candace smirked "This just got interesting."

A/N: That was longer than expected!

Natty is out, PEACE!

*I am in the makings of a sequel to this! Of course I can't post it until after this is done x( So let's hurry up and get this finished, shall we?
