A/N: Again, sorry for the rushed-ness. I only wanted to write this to explain what Phineas and Ferb were doing that day.
EDD17SP: Thanks for your reviews. Glad your thought the last chapter was good. And no, not at the theme park! 0_0 XD
Enjoy!
After about half an hour, things started going really slow. Traffic was building up and soon all the cars on the road were just creeping along at the slowest pace.
"Don't worry, kids," Lawrence said cheerfully. "We'll have plenty of time to go on all the rides when we get there."
"I hope you're right, Dad," Phineas sighed. He rested his head on his hand with his elbow on the window edge. He held his spanner that he took everywhere with him at his side, wondering what his friends were doing. Candace noticed the tool, and shot him a warning glare.
"How about I Spy?" Linda suggested.
"Good idea, dear," Lawrence agreed. "I spy with my little eye-"
"Tree," Candace interrupted flatly.
"Well done, Candace. That must have been too easy," Lawrence said. "I'll give it another go. I spy with-"
"Tree!
"You are good. I spy-"
"TREE! Dad, all there is to see right now are trees!"
"You do have a point there, Candace," Lawrence agreed.
"Hey, Ferb, look!" Phineas exclaimed, looking out the window. "It's Meap!" Ferb leaned over Phineas to see their cute little alien friend in his spaceship out their window. The boys waved.
"Mom!"
"I'm sure it's nothing, Candace!"
Finally, the traffic eased and soon they were really driving again. Phineas perked up.
"Feels like everyone and his brother are going to that amusement park," Lawrence muttered.
"How soon 'till we get there?" Phineas asked.
"Another hour or so," Linda told him. "Don't worry, we'll have plenty of time."
They drove for another 15 minutes, when they heard two loud bangs, and the car slowed down. Lawrence steered to the side of the road to stop.
"Sounds like a flat tire,, Lawrence said, as he pulled over and got out to investigate. "Two flat tires. What are the odds?"
"Don't forget that's time all four tires were flat,". Linda reminded her husband, sticking her head out the passenger side window.
"That's right, how could I forget?"
"Dad!" Phineas exclaimed. "Change the tires and let's go!"
"All right, all right," Lawrence chuckled. "Won't be long."
Forty minutes went by, in which time Linda gave out sandwiches and juice boxes for lunch. Phineas sat in his seat, arms crossed, tapping his spanner against his shoulder, and staring straight ahead. He had been looking forward to that theme park, and at this rate, they were only going to be there for a couple of hours before having to go home. He checked his watch periodically, and let out an exasperated sigh.
"Calm down Phineas," Linda said, reading a magazine. "We'll be there before you know it, and you can go on any ride you want."
"I could build a rocket to put on the car and get us there sooner," Phineas suggested, and Candace knew he would, so she stuck the contract in his face again. "Right..."
"Good suggestion, Phineas, but I doubt it'll work," Linda said, thinking proudly what a good imagination her son had.
"All right, gang, ready to get moving?" Lawrence asked, sitting back in his place behind the wheel.
"Finally!" Phineas cheered, as his dad started the car. Or, at least, tried to start the car. The engine revved for a moment, before stopping. Lawrence tried again, and the same thing happened.
"Dad," Candace said. "The car's not working, isn't it?"
"Don't worry everyone," Lawrence said, climbing out of the car again.
"What's not to worry about?" Phineas muttered, as Ferb put a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"There's a mechanic not far up the road. I'll walk there. Anyone want to join me?"
"I'd go, but someone's got to look after the kids," Linda said. "Sorry, honey."
"Don't worry!" Lawrence called back as he began the walk. "I'll be back in about twenty minutes."
