Danville summers usually stayed the same, weather wise. The days weren't so different from the day before. The sun would rise around 6 am. Then beat down on the people for 74 degrees until sunset. Some days would have clouds, providing brief shade. Breezes would happen often too to help people. You could fool yourself into thinking it was maybe just a warm spring day, instead of a day of June.
Today was not one of those days. Today was HOT. Capitalized. Italicized. All the emphasis one can give. Sometimes they spell the words with lines between each letter. Can it be put in bold? It's in bold now.
Reese was musing this to herself while she took the coldest shower possible. She didn't like how hot today was. Perhaps she had a prior bias, given that she knew how the day would play out. Maybe she'd been in summer for almost two weeks now and really didn't like it.
Whatever. It's too hot to think about things like that. Today was hot for reasons that didn't make sense. Or logic. Yep: today made no logic.
Reese once built a spaceship from scratch. She was second in her class from Harvard. She had walked the halls of Versailles alongside Queen Victoria.
And she had forgotten how to logic.
Why is it so hot today?!
Reese hated this. In contrast, Salazara was happy. Reese couldn't get too mad if the snake was-
Yeah she was mega angry and this needed to be fixed.
As she climbed out from the shower, she growled in a cold rage.
She had to start S'Winter. It must start now.
==W&R==
It had only gotten worse. Reese was beginning to build a conspiracy about how the weather was an active force working against her. She knew realities where that was an option. Was it so hard to believe that the powers that be followed her to Danville?
Probably.
Reese just wanted snow. Anything that got in the way was suspect.
She stepped into the Flynn-Fletcher backyard, beaming at the tall pile of snow building. It was easy to see from even a block away. S'Winter was a beautiful thing.
"Hey Reese!" Phineas came over to where Reese was gawking.
Reese silently pointed at the mountain.
"It's us combining summer and winter with Dad's old snow cone machine." Phineas explained. "And a lot of fans. We're calling it: S'Winter."
"I love it." Reese praised. "What do you need?"
"Can we build from the plot we used for the beach?" Phineas asked.
"Yes. We should still have that permit." Reese answered. "Should I take down the fence?"
"That'd be great." Phineas replied.
Reese nodded. She walked over to the back fence. They hadn't taken apart the part that made it easy to fall back. It gave more space for the mountain. It would give more snow to the mountain.
As the fence fell down, Isabella walked in. "Hey, Phineas." She greeted.
"Hey, Isabella." Phineas greeted.
"Whatcha doin'?" Isabella asked.
"We're making S'Winter!" Phineas answered happily.
"S'Winter?" Isabella asked.
"It's a unique logic-defying amalgam of Winter and Summer." Ferb answered. The British boy was working on dumping the finished snow into the mountain.
"Why have snow in the winter when it's too cold to enjoy it?" Phineas advertised.
"You guys are gonna need some help." Isabella gathered the rest of her troop.
Reese was already thinking about what else they needed. She pulled out her phone, planning all the things for the S'Winter wonderland.
==W&R==
There were horse carriages ready to be booked for this mountain. Also wolves for dog sleds. Reese had managed to get the local donation stores to bring over any winter clothes that had been donated. It helped to get people to come to celebrate S'Winter without having to dig into their attic to grab winter clothes.
Not that it was incredibly hard to get people to come. Everyone loved the chance to be cold in the summer heat.
"Woah! This looks great!" Phineas cheered.
Reese agreed. She had on a new winter outfit. Over her shirt and jeans, she had a dark green overcoat with brownish fur on the edges. She wore thin green gloves. It made her giddy to wear winter clothes while it was actually 70 something degrees in the more summer areas of town.
She took a lot of pictures of S'Winter. More than that, she let herself enjoy it. Anything that would have been on Reese's radar happened to Candace. Those things were all okay. Reese could just have fun.
And oh, did she have fun.
Reese ended up singing a duet with Isabella about S'Winter. A duet. With Isabella Garcia-Shapiro. About S'Winter. It was amazing.
By the end of the song, Reese skated over to the two brothers. They were smiling up at a fuming Candace.
"Some people call it 'Wummer'!" Phineas told Candace.
"S'Winter is cooler." Reese held up her hand. Phineas slapped it for a high five. Reese skated off, deciding she would ignore Candace's ire today.
She was gonna go skiing.
==W&R==
Reese was skiing from the mountain's dangerous path. Given that it was a cartoon ski path, it wasn't that bad. It was just asked that only the professionals or pro skiers take to it.
Reese saw this for the challenge that it was. She signed on for part of the challenges that came with the winter sports they were starting: sledding, figure skating, bobsledding, and skiing. Reese would crush the competition under her snow boots.
By the end of it, she got first place.
Vannessa Doofenshmirtz got second, but the goth didn't care. Reese suspected she won because she just happened to cross the finish line as she skied, with no idea she'd actually crossed it.
Reese took pride in her victory all the same.
She cheered for Phineas and Ferb that came first in their sledding. They won with Candace, though it was so unlikely that the redhead teenager signed on for this.
Reese didn't care. She wanted to make a snowman while there was still time.
==W&R==
The mountain melted with little fanfare. Reese was just able to get that snowman in before it melted away. The fans beneath the mountain lost their power. Reese figured if she took them home she could fix them up. She had plans for a generator in her Bag someplace, it would be easy to make it for a couple fans so Reese would have a colder room.
Ah, a colder room.
Yep. Reese was sold on it.
When everyone was ushered to the Garcia-Shapiro house for hot chocolate, Reese packed away the fans that she could fit through the top of her Bag.
She crossed paths with Vanessa, who was avoiding the party across the street.
"What are you doing?" Vanessa asked, giving Reese a side glance.
Reese blinked up at her. "Taking apart this fan so I can use the parts to make a generator." Reese answered. "What are you doing?"
Vannessa groaned. "Blaming my dad for all my problems."
"Oh, girl, respect." Reese held up her fist. Vanessa gave it a stronger side eye before bumping it.
==W&R==
The generator was just starting up when Reese heard a familiar hiss.
Reese waved over her shoulder to the snake. She waited until the generator was going strong before turning around.
"Hey Zara." Reese greeted.
The snake hissed.
Reese proudly showed off the fans. "I made it colder in here!"
The snake seemed to be copying a pout. Reese only laughed. She picked up the cobra, letting her warm up on Reese's shoulders. The cobra seemed to care a lot less about the chill thanks to the warm shoulders.
The two moved onto their bed. Reese soaked in the attention from all the fans.
