Chapter 13
In the backyard, Phineas was spinning the liquified heated sugar, holding a paper baton. Ferb was doing the same thing as well. Buford was the only one of the main group that was there at the time.
"Ferb, it's kinda amazing what one can do with cotton candy! I mean, look at it! It's so light and pink and fluffy as a cloud!" Phineas remarked.
"And it's so sticky too!" Buford exclaimed, munching on the confection.
Ferb nodded his head a few times in agreement with his step-brother.
"However, I don't exactly agree with the small size of it, guys. It's only as big as my shirt." Phineas remarked, holding the cotton candy on the paper baton right next to his shirt.
"Dinner Bell..." Buford suggested, as he sometimes called Phineas by that nickname, "...maybe we should make it as tall as a 20-story building and put a waterslide in it. Oh, and maybe we can eat it while we are sliding down!"
Phineas snapped his fingers, indicating a Big Idea was on the way.
"Ferb, Buford! Order up 20 tons of confectioner's sugar, waterslide materials and a giant hose! Also, get Baljeet, Isabella and the rest of the Fireside Girls! Guys, I know what we're gonna do today!" As an angel chrous hummed in the baackground.
Ron slid the patio door open as Phineas, Ferb and Buford stood up to carry out the Big Idea of the day.
"Hey guys, where are you going?" the blonde asked.
"We're gonna get the materials!" Buford replied.
"Materials for what?" Ron questioned.
"A 20-story cotton candy tower with a water-slide inside of it!" Phineas shouted with excitement.
Rufus jumped out of his owners' pants pocket in a bathing suit and sunglasses.
"Isn't that a bit impossible? Not to put any puns on KP's name, of course." Ron wondered.
"Nope. We build a lot of big stuff all the time so that we won't succumb to boredom!" Phineas said, putting his hands in his shorts pockets. "Would you like to join us in making our tower filled with sweet cotton candy?"
"Do it!" Rufus repeatedly shook his pink head.
"Since me and KP are supposed to babysit you two...even though she's transformed into a platypus...count me in, guys!" Ron exclaimed, accepting their proposal.
"Yipee!" Rufus squeaked with joy.
And so, Ron and Rufus left with the three other boys to gather the materials.
"So, um, what do you guys do beside building stuff?" Ron asked, unlocking the gate.
"Well, this would be the part where Dinner Bell would normally say 'Where's Perry'!" Buford said.
Phineas replied, "He's usually gone for most of the day for some odd reason."
