Chapter 3
Doing Chores
"So, we'll all get to go?" Phineas asked.
"If you get all your chores done before we leave," Doofenshmirtz said. Phineas nodded excitedly. He rushed upstairs and got his clothes on. He started to get to work right away. Tonight was the night of the ball. He rushed to the storage bin and grabbed the cleansing materials. He quickly got the mop and started cleaning the mansion. Perry chattered to Phineas.
"I know! I know he said if!" Phineas said. Perry chattered some more. Phineas rolled his eyes.
"No! I probably won't finish all my chores!" Phineas said. Phineas continued to mop the mansion. Phineas quickly finished mopping the mansion. By the time he was done, it was time to go to the ball.
"Phineas! It's time to go to the ball!" Doofenshmirtz shouted. Phineas looked at Heinz.
"I'm not going," Phineas said. Doofenshmirtz cocked his head to act surprised.
"You're not?" Doofenshmirtz said. Phineas nodded. He hadn't had the time to fix up his original father's suit. Doofenshmirtz let Thaddeus and Thor out the door. Phineas went to his bedroom. He gazed at the castle, hiding a tear. He turned around.
"Sure… it was my first chance to get a bride… who could've been the princess… oh well…" Phineas said disappointed. His cabinet creaked open. He gaped his mouth open. He was shocked.
"Eh? Where's Phineas Flynn?" General Buford asked.
"Can't show. Couldn't finish his suit," Doofenshmirtz said.
"Okay! We are-!" He couldn't finish his sentence before Phineas came dashing downstairs dressed up for the ball.
"Boys. Remain calm. Phineas. Could you please tell me where you got the beads… and when you fixed up the suit?" Doofenshmirtz asked.
"Well I didn't fix up the suit. I-I think Perry did," Phineas said.
"Perry… the Platypus?" Doofenshmirtz asked.
"…HE'S A PLATYPUS! HE DOESN'T EVEN DO MUCH!" Doofenshmirtz said.
"You are not coming!" he said. Buford tried to cut in, but Doofenshmirtz quickly said, "Do you care for your princess?! If so, I recommend you shut up before I hurt her… badly!" Doofenshmirtz snapped. Buford got in the truck.
"Oh well, Perry… guess I won't be going after all…" Phineas said. The sight of the castle intrigued him.
