Play Phineas and Ferb Theme Song
The wind blows multiple calendar pages into the air, starting on June 3.
There's 104 days of Summer Vacation
Then School comes along just to end it
Phineas and Ferb sit under a tree in their backyard.
So the annual problem for our generation
Is finding a good way to spend it
Cue montage of the boys doing multiple activities.
Like maybe
First, the boys land on the moon. They jump out of the rocket and float forwards.
Second, Phineas climbs on top of Ferb. They try to fight a mummy.
Third, they climb up a certain French tower.
Building a rocket or fighting a mummy
Or climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Fourth, Ferb removed a tarp to show a weird unicorn-turtle hybrid. Phineas takes a picture of it.
Fifth, the boys force a monkey into the shower. Neither of them enjoy this one.
Discovering something that doesn't exist
Or giving a monkey a shower
Sixth, they surf on a large wave.
Seventh, they create tiny robots.
Eighth, they find Frankenstein's monster. The brain is missing from the head. It doesn't take them that long to find.
Ninth, they find a bird.
Tenth, they fly on a helicopter with a large paintbrush over the city. They covered the city in orange paint.
Eleventh, the boys work on a painting. The painting depicts a red-headed girl with a mustache.
Surfing tidal waves, creating nanobots, or locating Frankenstein's brain
Finding a dodo bird, painting a continent, or driving your sister insane
Turns out, this girl isn't actually a painting, but the boys' sister, Candace. She turns to Phineas angrily.
"Phineas!" she shouts.
The boys do multiple things, all the while their sister watches angrily.
Film a movie.
Build a giant robot dog.
Tamper with a car.
Ride a rollercoaster.
As you can see, there's a whole lot of stuff to do before School starts this fall
Candace talks to a friend on the phone. She doesn't notice the boys carrying a live elephant into the backyard until she hears Phineas call out, "Come on, Perry!" That gets her attention.
Later, she's seen playing "Whack-a-Pest". The pests that pop out are her brothers and their pet platypus.
So stick with us, 'cause Phineas and Ferb are gonna do it all
Afterwards, the boys dance around and play guitar as images of the infinite possibilities flash by.
So stick with us, 'cause Phineas and Ferb are gonna do it all
When the boys are done, they pose. Their sister comes in.
"Mom, Phineas and Ferb are making a title sequence!" she shouts.
The boys stare at her for a second. They then brush it off and resume their poses.
End Intro
104 Days of Summer Vacation
Day 36
Oh, There You Are, Perry
After a long day, Perry decided to finally get some rest. He slept next to Ferb, and allowed himself to be cuddled by him.
Sadly, the peace was interrupted when his watch went off.
Perry covered the watch so Ferb wouldn't hear it. He checked his watch to see it had a red alert icon.
Perry walked out to see what the problem was. He replaced himself with a log so Ferb wouldn't be suspicious.
"Ugh, no more peach and pumpernickel sandwiches before bed," Candace said to herself as she walked to her room.
That's when she tripped and fell. She got up to see it was Perry that tripped her.
"You!" she shouted.
Candace brought Perry outside.
"For an animal that doesn't do much, you sure know how to make a mess of things!" she yelled.
The moment Candace slammed the door, Perry put his hat back on. He took a moment to mimic Candace.
Perry then stepped on the little tiles to the tune of his theme music. Once he was done, the door opened, and he jumped through.
Monogram was already waiting for Perry.
"Good morning, Agent P," he greeted. "I got bad news and good news. Bad news, you're being reassigned to a new, more evil villain, The Regurgitator."
Monogram showed a picture of this new villain on screen. He was a bald man wearing green armor.
"We keep pushing him down, but he keeps coming back up," came Carl's voice.
"That's disgusting, Carl," Monogram scolded.
"You laughed earlier."
"That was a pity laugh. Anyway, Doctor Doofenshmirtz has been downgraded to minor threat status and Agent S has been assigned to his case. The good news is, you're being relocated to this new host family in the Quad-State Area."
Doof showed a picture of this new family, who clearly weren't cut out for taking care of a platypus.
"Pss, it's the other way around, sir," Carl corrected.
"Oh yes," Monogram said. "The bad news is the relocation, the good news is the new villain thing. Just make sure you take your belongings."
Perry left the lair with a sad look on his face.
The next morning, Candace was eating her breakfast and minding her own business.
That's when Phineas and Ferb came in with sad looks on their faces. At least, Phineas looked sad, while Ferb kept his usual ennui face.
"Good morning," Phineas greeted.
"What's so great about it?" Candace asked, barely acknowledging Phineas' sad look.
"Not much. We can't find Perry anywhere. He's never missed breakfast."
Candace started to get worried. "Uh, you don't think he could have argued with someone at, say, 3:38 AM, gotten his feelings hurt, and run away, do you?"
"Nah, he never would…" Phineas stopped himself, having fully processed what Candace said. "Wait, why was that oddly specific?"
Candace's nerves started to grow. "Uh, maybe he just wandered off. You know, he always wanders off, then he comes back and you say, 'Oh, there you are, Perry', and he says…" Candace did her best imitation of Perry's chatter.
"Yeah, but he never disappears first thing in the morning," Phineas retorted.
Candace knew she couldn't lie anymore. She had to admit the truth.
"Okay, I'll admit it!" she shouted, tears forming around her eyes. "Last night I was heading to bed when I tripped over Perry, then I brought him outside and said that all he does is make a mess out of things!"
It took Phineas a second to process what Candace said. When he did process it, though, he was beyond furious.
"So, what you're saying is," he said, barely keeping it cool. "That it's your fault Perry left?"
Candace nodded. "Yes, I confess! It's all my fault! I'm sorry, I really am!"
Phineas shook his head. "Sorry? Sorry?! That's all you have to say, after hurting Perry's feelings and making him feel worthless? No, Candace! Sorry isn't gonna cut it!"
Candace knew that Phineas was right. She stood up and walked away, sadly.
Seeing the sad look on Candace's face, Phineas felt a little bad for lashing out.
What are you sorry for? asked a voice in his head. She got what was coming to her.
Perry saw Phineas and Ferb through the window. He couldn't describe how sad he was knowing he had to leave, but orders were orders. He activated his jetpack and flew away.
Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated
The doorbell rang. Doof answered the door to see a gift basket. There was a note on it.
"We regret to inform you that due to The Regurgitator's recent evil behavior," he read aloud. "You have been downgraded to a minor threat. If you think this is a mistake, please fill out the…" Doof couldn't describe his frustration. "What? A minor threat?"
Doof got on his computer and looked up The Regurgitator. This Regurgitator had an evil blog. In it, he labeled himself as the most evil villain.
"Who does this upstart think he is?" Doof asked himself. "It's time to show him who's boss."
Phineas and Ferb built a Platy-tractor 3000.
"If anything should bring Perry home, it's this," Phineas said to himself.
Ferb started the audio. It played Perry's chatter.
A split second later, many platypi appeared in the backyard.
"I didn't know this many platypi lived in Danville," Phineas remarked.
Doof tracked down The Regurgitator's location to be a tiny motel on the edge of town.
He entered the motel and saw a desk. No one was there.
Doof rang the bell to call a clerk. The desk moved itself out of the way. A large door on the wall opened to reveal an elevator.
Doof went down the elevator and found himself in a huge underground lab.
The first thing he saw was a button that read, 'Do Not Push'. Doof pushed it out of curiosity.
A door on the floor opened. Doof fell through and fell on his heinie.
"Oh, so they could make a trap door but not a throw pillow?" he remarked.
Doof then noticed the menacing figure in front of him. The figure turned around and made a menacing pose.
"I am The Regurgitator!" he introduced himself as evil dramatic music played in the background.
"Well, I'm Doctor Heinz Doofenshmirtz," Doof introduced himself. There was silence. "Ta-da! How do you do that, those lights?"
"You're that disturbed lunatic from Danville, are you?"
"You've heard of me?"
"Yes, and you heard of me."
The music came back. Doof was even more confused. He quickly brushed it off when he saw something he didn't expect.
Perry was in a glass tube and strapped against the wall.
"You've already captured Perry the Platypus?" Doof asked. "You work fast."
The Regurgitator offered Doof a form.
"If you sign here, I'll consider you for a three-year internship," he said.
"I'm not applying for an internship," Doof said before noticing one term on the form. "Oh, it offers maternity leave…"
"You can start by pouring me a fresh cup of coffee!" The Regurgitator shouted as the music played again.
Ferb showed each platypus one by one. Phineas rejected each one for a different reason.
"This guy's eyes are too close together and his beak is orange. Perry's is more of a tangerine."
"Too fat."
"Too thin."
"Too cartoony."
"Smells like meat loaf."
"Too blue."
"Too angular."
"Too French."
The last one wasn't even a platypus.
"That's just a duck with a beaver tail taped to it," Phineas said. "Well, that was the last of them. Maybe we need to think bigger." An idea popped into Phineas' head. "And with music! Perry loves music! Remember?"
Phineas and Ferb thought back to when they were younger and played the xylophone all the time. Perry always seemed to enjoy it.
"Let's get the guitars," said Phineas. "I've got an idea."
Candace looked around downtown in search of Perry.
"Perry!" she called. "Perry the Platypus!"
Candace noticed a beaver tail and assumed it was Perry. She grabbed the tail and pulled it.
"Come on, let's get you home," she said.
It turned out, it wasn't Perry, but a beaver. The beaver's owner was upset at Candace for grabbing it.
"Wait, you have a pet beaver?" Candace asked, bewildered.
"You have a pet platypus," the woman retorted.
"Touche."
Doof was working at his desk. Perry was just glaring at him.
"What are you looking at, Perry the Platypus?" Doof asked. "This is a great job. Look at what I accomplished. Just today, I organized his evil invoices, swept his evil lair, picked up his evil dry-cleaning, and I even had time to do this."
Doof opened his lab coat to reveal a T-shirt with The Regurgitator's face on it. It said, 'Best Boss'.
"And if I do a good job, I could be promoted to head assistant in just three months," Doof added. "Where are you gonna be in three months?"
"Never mind three months!" said the Regurgitator, who just showed up out of nowhere. "I'll take care of him now!"
The music played again.
"Wait a minute," said Doof. "First of all, he's my nemesis. You can't get rid of him now. There's no fun in that. You need to explain your whole plan to him. Don't you have a nemesis?"
"Me?" The Regurgitator reacted. "The world is my nemesis!" Nothing happened. "Sorry, this doesn't always work."
The Regurgitator pushed a button on his suit, causing the music to play.
"I can't take it anymore," Candace cried. "Perry is gone, and it's all my fault!" She noticed shadows that looked like Phineas and Ferb. "Phineas, Ferb, I…"
The curtain faded to reveal it was actually Marty the Rabbit Boy and his musical blender. Marty played Gitchee Gitchee Goo on his blender. That didn't make Candace feel better.
Doof started cleaning the floor.
"I know what you're thinking," he told Perry. "I'm not some lowly intern! I'm an evil scientist! I'm Heinz Doofenshmirtz!"
Doof got up and stomped to The Regurgitator.
"Hey you!" he shouted. "Let's get things straight!"
"What?" The Regurgitator asked menacingly.
Doof quickly backed away in fear. He then turned to Perry and smiled.
"See, compromise," he said like it was no problem.
Perry wasn't impressed.
"You're right, you're right," Doof said as he approached The Regurgitator again. "Okay, sir, I've done everything for you! You see those hard-to-reach files up there? I invented these rocket shoes just so you can reach them, and I even put in the self-destruct button that you forgot!"
"What?" The Regurgitator reacted. "Why is it counting down?"
Doof smiled nervously. "Well, I may have pressed it by mistake, but at least I didn't push the release button I installed inside Perry the Platypus' cage."
Perry noticed the button Doof mentioned. He quickly pushed it with his foot.
"Look what you've done!" The Regurgitator shouted. "You've pushed my buttons for the last time!"
Perry noticed a lever across from him. He used the food bowl he tucked under his hat to flip it from 'Blow' to 'Suck'.
The Regurgitator got sucked through the tube and sent flying out of the motel.
Perry quickly put on the rocket shoes, grabbed Doof, and flew out of the motel as well before it could explode.
As Perry was flying, Monogram called him.
"Excellent work, Agent P," he said. "You defeated The Regurgitator. As a matter of fact, he just landed in our prison. You can return immediately to your old host family and Doctor Doofenshmirtz is once again your nemesis."
"So, if we're enemies again, does that mean…?" Doof asked before being dropped. "Curse you, Perry the Platypus!"
Doof landed on a pillow.
"Ha, at least you do it right!" Doof remarked.
Phineas, Ferb, and co. were on the roof of a building.
"Excellent," said Phineas. "From up here, everyone in the Tri-State Area should be able to hear us."
Play "Come Home Perry"
Phineas and Ferb started playing their guitars. It drew the attention of some nearby bystanders.
Phineas:
Perry
You know you are a boy's best friend
You're more than just a passing trend
You're like a treat from a candy store
Isabella increased the speakers' volumes so more people could hear them. She then plugged in her own guitar.
Buford played the cowbell while Baljeet played the drums. Baljeet noticed Buford glaring at him for not playing the drums right, and he blushed a little.
Django played the tambourine.
Perry
We love you more than ice cream cakes
We love you more than bugs and snakes
We love you more than all things mentioned before
Candace could hear Phineas singing from the park. She followed the sound.
Oh, Perry
You're extraordinary
You're kinda short and hairy
The color of a blueberry
Yes, Perry
All:
So come home, Perry
Come home, Perry
Come home
That's when Candace arrived.
"Hey," she said nervously. "You mind if I sing one?"
Phineas looked away, torn. On one hand, he was still upset at Candace for making Perry leave, but he could also tell she really wanted to make up for it. In the end, he decided to allow it.
"Sure, go ahead," he said begrudgingly.
Candace got in front of the microphone.
Candace:
Oh, Perry
I think it's kinda scary
I can't find you anywhere-y
It fills me with… dispair-y?
Oh, Perry
I'm allergic to dairy
I'm gonna move to the prairie
And change my name to Larry
Everyone turned to Candace, confused.
"Larry?" Phineas asked with a small chuckle.
"I ran out of rhymes, okay?" Candace defended.
"Okay."
Phineas:
She'll change her name to Larry
Isabella:
Larry
All:
Larry
All:
So come home, Perry
Come home, Perry
Come home
So come home, Perry
Come home, Perry
Come home
Phineas, Ferb, and Candace:
Come home, Perry
Come home
End "Come Home Perry"
Perry appeared right next to Candace.
"Oh, there you are, Perry," Candace said with a tearful smile.
She, Phineas, and Ferb hugged Perry.
Phineas then turned to Candace.
"Nice job…" he said with a genuine smile, before switching to a mischievous one. "Larry."
Candace didn't mind the insult. She was just happy to know Perry came home.
"Welcome home, Perry," was all she said.
A.N.
The moment I started writing this, I knew this was an episode I wanted to tackle.
For starters, this episode features one of the most wholesome songs in the series, "Come Home, Perry". We get to see the Flynn-Fletcher siblings come together to try to bring Perry home, and they succeed.
We also get to see Perry's soft side, as we get to see how he feels having to leave his owners behind.
One addition I made to this chapter was Phineas blaming Candace for Perry's disappearance. I felt it made sense as it adds onto Phineas' resentment and Candace's guilt. Sure, Phineas does feel bad for lashing out, but I'm not kidding when I say the resentment is gonna get worse. Stay tuned.
Thanks for reading.
