Clearly turning off PMs wasn't a foolproof solution, so I'm done playing nice. I'm gonna do what I should've done in the first place. Whoever asks me if I'll commission them to make artwork for my stories, I'm instantly blocking.
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 56
Canderemy
Candace was talking to Stacy on the phone.
"Oh Stacy, isn't Jeremy's hair the perfect shade of gold?" she asked.
"Uh-huh," Stacy replied.
"And isn't it cute when he has the little wrinkle on the end of his nose?"
"Uh-huh."
"And you know when…"
"Uh-huh."
Candace was starting to get suspicious. "Stacy, did you make a digital sound file of yourself saying 'uh-huh' to fool me into thinking you're listening again?"
"Uh-huh."
That just confirmed it for Candace. "Stacy, pick up!"
After a moment, the real Stacy picked up. "Well, can you blame me? 'Oh, Jeremy and I went to the movies.' 'Jeremy's house smells like gingerbread.' 'Ever notice Jeremy's mole is shaped like an adorable puppy?' I'm starting to feel like the only reason you hang out with me is to talk about Jeremy."
"Stacy, I…"
"And what about Jenny? How long has it been since it was just the three of us hanging out, no Jeremy, no boys, no nothing? I bet you didn't remember that today is the Danville street fair."
As Candace took in what Stacy said, she realized Stacy had a point. It's been a while since either of them hung out with each other, or with Jenny.
"I'm so sorry, Stacy," she said. "I'll cancel with Jeremy today. Tell Jenny to meet me at the cafe in half an hour, and we'll all hit the street fair afterwards. It'll be just the three of us, I promise."
"Great," Stacy smiled. "But no Jeremy anything, okay? If I even hear his name…"
"I promise I won't break this promise. See you in a bit." Candace hung up. She was about to call Jeremy, but she stopped herself. "Wait a minute, why call him when I can tell him I can't see him today in person?"
Candace ran out of the house towards Jeremy's.
"This is it, Isabella," Isabella told herself. "The day you're going to insist on spending time alone with Phineas. You got this." Isabella opened the gate. "Whatcha doin?"
In the backyard, the boys were already working on their project of the day.
"Hey Isabella," Phineas greeted. "We're building a giant robot dog."
"Like when we made that title sequence," Baljeet remarked.
"Uh, I'd rather give a monkey a shower," said Buford.
Isabella approached Phineas nervously. "So, uh, I was wondering if you'd like to go to the premiere of the new Stumbleberry Finkbat movie?"
"Yeah, sounds fun," Phineas replied. "I can go after we finish up here. Done with the wiring, Ferb?"
Ferb scratched the robot dog's back with a backscratcher. The dog's back-left leg twitched.
"Looking good," said Phineas. "Hey, where's Perry?"
Perry was already in Doof's lair, and already trapped.
"Comfortable, Perry the Platypus?" Doof asked. "I made that platy-rack so that every limb is accounted for. So, what's it all about? See, there are only two things that made my miserable childhood bearable, my pet cockroach, Hoarfrost, and garlic-flavored ice cream. I loved these two things so much that I wondered if combining them would exponentially increase my enjoyment. So, introducing my Combineinator! With this, I was finally able to make the triple-scoop garlic roach cone!"
Doof showed off his new abomination. Perry couldn't watch without having to fight his gag reflex.
Doof realized that this fusion wasn't really a good idea in hindsight. He threw the roach cone away.
"Anyway," he said. "I remembered this little island time-share that I bought on a free trip to Vegas. I realized that if I were to combine this island with the Capital of the Tri-State Area…" Doof showed pictures of the island, the Capital, and a fusion of them on a little slide show. "Ta-da! Then legally, under our local property laws, I will be sovereign ruler of the Tri-State Area, as long as I file the appropriate paperwork and get it in by the end of the day so I can declare eminent domain before the time-share reverts to the co-owners…"
While Doof was busy monologuing, Perry noticed a major flaw in his trap. While his hat was tied up, keeping him from accessing his tools, one thing Doof didn't think about was Perry's actual head.
Perry was able to take off the hat and use his fur to pick the locks of his restraints. Once he was free, he jump-kicked Doof.
Candace made it to Jeremy's house and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Johnson answered.
"Oh, hello Candace," she greeted.
"Hey, is Jeremy in?" Candace asked.
Mrs. Johnson let Candace inside. "He's right over there."
Jeremy was sitting on the couch, sound asleep. He had a half-eaten turkey leg in one hand, and a half-empty gallon of milk in the other.
"He was up all night working the graveyard shift at Slushy Dawg after a full-day shift," Mrs. Johnson explained. "Then, when he came home, he ate an entire turkey, drank a gallon of warm milk, and just passed out on the sofa. Bless him. I'd be surprised if he woke up before Thursday. Good luck getting any conversation out of him, sweety."
Mrs. Johnson walked away, leaving Candace and Jeremy alone.
Candace sat next to Jeremy and leaned on him.
"He looks so cute when he sleeps," she remarked.
Doof fell to the ground.
"Alright, you asked for it!" he shouted.
He tackled Perry, inadvertently knocking the Combineinator to the ground. It fired a beam towards who-knows-where.
At the park, a man was presenting a giant prism to a bunch of tourists. A weird beam of light hit the prism. The beam split into two, one going up into the earth's atmosphere, and one heading towards the suburbs.
"So, you'll have to take a raincheck, okay?" Candace told Jeremy.
Suddenly, a green light surrounded her and Jeremy. Candace closed her eyes, expecting the worst. When the light dissipated, though, everything seemed fine.
"Okay, that was weird," Candace remarked.
She tried to get up, but something caused her to sit back down. She assumed Jeremy woke up and was cuddling her, but when she turned to Jeremy, he was still asleep.
Instead, they were both attached at the hip.
"Ah, Stacy and Jenny are gonna kill me!" Candace panicked.
She once again tried to get up, but Jeremy fell off the couch and pulled her down with him.
Candace knew exactly who could help her. "Phineas and Ferb."
Phineas was checking things off his list. Isabella was starting to run out of patience.
"Hey Phineas," she said. "Whatcha still doin?"
"Just going through a last-minute checklist now that our dog is done," Phineas replied.
"Oh, does that mean we can go to the movies?"
"I don't see why not." Phineas turned to Ferb. "Hey Ferb, let's fire this puppy up!"
Ferb gave a thumbs-up, then turned on the dog.
That's when Candace came into the backyard, carrying a sleeping Jeremy with her.
"Phineas, Ferb, I need your help!" she shouted.
"Candace, we're in the…" Phineas tried to say.
"I don't care what kind of freaky project you guys are doing! Just look at us!"
At first, Phineas saw nothing wrong with Candace or Jeremy, but upon a closer look, he realized what the problem was. They were both fused together.
"We could move you to a sterile environment and get a board-certified surgeon to cleanly and safely perform a Jerebotomy," Baljeet suggested.
"We could tie each of you to a monster truck and drive in opposite directions," said Buford. "Worst case scenario, one of you loses a torso."
Everyone glared at Buford like he just suggested first-degree murder.
Buford didn't know what the problem was. "What?"
"Or we can use the molecular separator," said Phineas.
"That thing you used to separate me from me?" Candace asked.
"Yeah, it worked before. You know, in a completely different set of circumstances."
"Great. You guys get on it."
Candace's phone rang.
Knowing it was Stacy, she answered. "Hey Stacy."
"Hey, BFF," said Stacy. "Just checking on your GTA."
"About that…"
"Oh no, you better not be ditching me and Jenny for Jeremy again."
Candace chuckled in embarrassment. "On Street Fair Day? No way, sister. I'll be there, and I'll be there early."
She hung up and turned to the boys.
"Build that molecular whatever and meet me at the coffee shop!" she demanded as she walked out.
"But the movie starts at…" Isabella tried to argue.
"Well, Ferb, I know the next thing we're gonna do today," Phineas told Ferb. "Let's get started on that separator."
Isabella sighed.
"Here we are, just the two of us at a stalemate," Doof said as he and Perry circled around the room. "Each looking for something to turn the tide. What will it be?"
"Cupcakes?" Norm asked, carrying a tray of cupcakes.
Norm's presence gave Doof an idea. He aimed the Combineinator at Norm, fired, then jumped onto Norm. The beam hit the two of them, fusing them both into one.
"Prepare to face the wrath of Norminshmirtz!" Doof shouted.
The two fired lasers towards Perry. Perry jumped out of the way.
"Ha, no more getting away from me now!" Doof laughed.
"You mean 'us'?" Norm asked.
Doof used his arm to punch Norm's face. "Quiet you! Don't step on my moment!"
Candace made it to the coffee shop. Since Jeremy was still asleep, she had him stand on a skateboard so she could carry him.
"Phineas and Ferb better find a fix for this…" she said to herself.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw Stacy and Jenny crossing the street.
Out of impulse, Candace grabbed a chair and tablecloth, made Jeremy lean down, and covered him in the cloth.
"Hey Candace," Stacy and Jenny greeted.
"Hey girlfriends," Candace replied.
Stacy turned to the nearby waiter. "Three iced teas, please."
The waiter went inside. Stacy and Jenny sat with Candace.
"Sorry for being so hard on you earlier," Stacy apologized. "I know you and Jeremy aren't together all the time."
"It's okay," Candace assured. "It's nice to have a little space from him."
Candace noticed that Jeremy was rocking back and forth. She patted his back to make it look like she was just rocking the table.
The waiter came back with three glasses of iced tea. The girls drank their tea.
Jeremy started to snore. Candace slurped her tea, hoping it would block out the snores. She then reached under the cloth and covered Jeremy's mouth.
"So, I hear there's a ton of vintage clothing stalls at the street fair this year," she said, trying to make small talk.
"Yeah, I'm looking for some really cool outfits," Stacy replied.
"Wow, this table is really lumpy," Jenny remarked.
"Oh yeah, lumpy tables," Candace laughed. "It's the new hip thing."
Jeremy started to groan. Candace faked her own groan to block out Jeremy's.
"Do the moan, yeah, do the moan," she sang, making the girls look at her suspiciously. "Come on, don't you girls love that song?"
Neither Stacy or Jenny were convinced.
Candace got desperate. "Hey, isn't it that guy from the movie you like?"
The moment Stacy and Jenny's backs were turned, Candace checked on Jeremy. He was about to wake up.
"Lullaby, and good night, la la la la la," she sang until Jeremy fell asleep again.
"I don't see anyone," said Jenny.
"That's because they're gone!" Candace shouted with a nervous chuckle.
"Why do you sound so nervous?" asked Stacy. "I'm not mad anymore. We're gonna pay for our drinks."
Jenny and Stacy got up and went inside to pay. Knowing she couldn't get up herself without exposing Jeremy, Candace knew she had to act quickly. Luckily, someone left their coat on one of the other chairs.
Candace quickly set the cups down, removed the table cloth, grabbed the coat, and put it on herself to hide Jeremy.
That's when Stacy and Jenny came out.
"Ready?" Candace asked them.
"Candace, why are you wearing that coat?" asked Jenny.
"Uh, the tea gave me a chill," Candace lied, faking a shiver.
Stacy glared at Candace. "Okay, let's go. You're walking behind us."
"That's fine."
Once Stacy and Jenny are out of earshot, Candace called Phineas.
"Phineas, will you hurry?" she asked. "We're headed for the street fair already."
She hung up, and ran to catch up with the others.
Perry dodged every single laser. He noticed the Combineinator, and a nearby toolbox on the floor, and got an idea.
He jumped onto the inator, activating it. He then jumped next to the toolbox. The beam hit them and fused them together.
"I think we're in trouble," Doof worried.
"So now it's 'we'?" Norm remarked.
The gang just finished rebuilding the Molecular Separator.
"I can't believe how fast we built this thing, Ferb," Phineas remarked. "Of course, breaking the immutable laws of physics is always easier the second time around."
"Great," said Isabella. "Does this mean we can go to the movies now?"
"We sure can. The theater is right next to the street fair. All we gotta do now is get this to Candace and separate her from Jeremy."
"Well, what are we waiting for?"
"I believe we're waiting for Rover to put the separator down," Ferb replied bluntly.
Phineas and Isabella turned and saw that the robot dog was holding the separator in its mouth.
"Hey, drop it, boy!" Isabella ordered.
Rover just ran away, taking the separator with him. Everyone ran after Rover.
"For the record, none of this would've happened if we just gave a monkey a shower," Buford remarked. "Just putting that out there."
Play "Just the Three of Us" - Parody of "Just the Two of Us"
The girls rode the carousel together. Candace had to have Jeremy dangle next to her so the others wouldn't see him.
I'm so happy whenever you and I are together
After the carousel, the girls went to get pictures. Candace hid Jeremy behind the curtain.
When it's just the three of us hanging around
Later, the girls played music for a small crowd. Stacy played the violin. Jenny played the fiddle. Candace played the cello so she could hide Jeremy with it.
We don't need a string quartet or a jazz duo
After that, the girls went down a tube slide. Candace brought two tubes, one to cover Jeremy with.
'Cause you and I are the perfect trio
At a petting zoo, Candace grabbed a bag of food to feed the animals. With all the animals surrounding her, neither Stacy nor Jenny could see Jeremy.
When we get together, we make such a beautiful sound
Then, the girls went to buy purses. Candace bought a large bag so she could hide Jeremy inside. She failed to notice that some of Jeremy's fingers and hairs were hiding.
We don't need nobody else
'Cause we can have fun all by ourselves
After that, the girls tried on different costumes. Candace always chose big outfits so she could hide Jeremy.
It's just the three, it's just the three of us today
It's just the three, it's just the three of us today
It's just the three of us
End "Just the Three of Us"
Perry jumped onto Norminshmirtz. He used his screwdriver leg to unscrew one of Norm's arms off.
"Ow, that hurt!" Norm fake-cried.
"He's armed!" Doof panicked.
"With my arm."
Perry threw Norm's arm onto Norminshmirtz, making them fall onto the Combineinator. Another beam hit Perry, fusing him with his trap.
Norm tried to pull the lever, but it broke off.
"Balsa wood?" he asked.
"It was on sale!" Doof argued.
The inator locked into overload. Beams fired in all directions.
Norminshmirtz flew onto the fridge. One of the beams hit them, fusing them with the fridge.
Norm opened one of the doors.
"Would you like a hot beverage, sir?" he offered.
"Hey, that's private!" Doof shouted, shutting the door.
The gang followed Rover all the way to the fair.
"Split up, guys," Phineas ordered. "Maybe we can corner him."
Phineas and Isabella went one direction. Ferb and Django went another direction. That left Buford and Baljeet continued to follow Rover so he couldn't turn back.
The gang successfully cornered Rover… for a split second. There was one area that they didn't consider. Rover just went that way.
Candace was running out of places to hide Jeremy. Luckily, she found one more spot in the form of a dressing room.
Stacy and Jenny arrived with a few clothes.
"We found all kinds of cute things," said Jenny. "We gotta try them on."
Jenny got in the other dressing room. Stacy tried to enter the one Jeremy was occupying.
"No!" Candace shouted before realizing she was making herself look stupid. "Uh, I can see they fit you perfectly."
Stacy once again tried to open the curtain, but Candace karate-chopped her.
"Candace, are you karate-chopping me?" Stacy asked angrily.
Phineas was once again able to block Rover.
"Ferb, now!" he shouted.
Before Rover could turn around, Ferb opened the hatch of one of Rover's legs, and pulled out his wiring.
Rover powered down and dropped the Molecular Separator.
"No!" Phineas shouted dramatically.
"No!" Candace shouted as she slowly karate-chopped Stacy.
Ferb blinked in a dramatic way.
"No!" the kids shouted as they tried to catch the separator.
Baljeet noticed how everyone was moving in a slow and dramatic way.
"How is everyone doing that?" he asked.
The separator hit the ground.
Perry and Doof reverted back to normal.
"Hey, I can feel my knees again," said Doof.
It was only then that he realized that Norm was standing on top of him. Norm came down and crushed Doof.
Knowing there was no other way out of this, Candace decided to confess.
"Listen, Stacy, this morning I went to Jeremy's to tell him that we couldn't spend the day together…" she tried to explain.
"Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy!" Stacy interrupted. "Tell me later! I want to try this on!"
Stacy opened the curtain.
Candace closed her eyes. "Stacy, I swear I wanted to spend the day with you and Jenny…"
When she opened her eyes, she saw that the dressing room was empty.
This was just like all those times Phineas and Ferb's inventions disappeared, only this time, it worked out in Candace's favor.
"Uh, never mind," she said as Stacy got in the dressing room.
That's when Jeremy appeared behind the dressing rooms.
"Candace?" he asked. "I know this is a weird question, but do you have any idea how I got here?"
"Jeremy, don't worry," Candace assured. "I promise I'll explain everything later, but right now, you gotta get out of here. I'll call you later… I mean tomorrow."
The moment Jeremy was gone, Candace sighed in relief.
That's when Stacy and Jenny came out of their dressing rooms. They both gave Candace teasing smiles.
"By the way, the best part was when you used him as a table," said Stacy.
"You are so busted," Jenny laughed, using Candace's catchphrase against her.
Out in space, a green beam of light reflected off of a satellite.
"We got everything sorted out now," said Isabella.
"Yeah," Phineas smiled. "Wanna catch that movie?"
"You bet."
Isabella went into her pocket and took out two movie tickets.
Then the tickets were struck by a beam of light, fusing the two tickets into one.
Isabella sighed and tore the ticket in half. "Well, that's a bummer."
"Yes, yes it is," Phineas said empathetically.
A.N.
First off, I apologize for not updating much this month. I just haven't been feeling that motivated lately, especially given 2025 is not off to a good start, with the LA wildfires and ICE arresting innocents in Chicago.
Anyway, not much changes in this episode. I did change the ending so instead of Phineas and Ferb fusing into an unholy abomination, Isabella's theater tickets just fuse into one, meaning they both can't go to the movie together.
The main change to this episode was having Jenny come along. Like Django, Jenny was one of those underutilized characters. (It's no wonder that Povenmire just decided to make them related). Well, I decided to give Jenny's lack of presence in the first two seasons a bit of a serious plotline, as Stacy points out how neither she or Candace hung out with Jenny that much during the summer, which gives her more want to have a Jeremy-free day. Just the three girls hanging out and having fun.
I do plan to give Jenny a bit more of a presence for the rest of the storyline. From this point on, whenever Candace is hanging out with Stacy, Jenny will be there too. I'm also hoping to give Stacy and Jenny their own moments and flesh out their dynamic a bit, but I can't make any promises.
Thanks for reading.
