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 37
Quantum Boogaloo
Baljeet, Phineas, and Ferb were working on another project. It was almost finished.
"Okay, we finished the superstructure," Phineas said. "But what we need now is a tool that will fuse wood and metal at a molecular level."
"Technology like that is twenty years away," Baljeet explained. "You will need a time machine. Luckily, I have been working on a design. I have not figured out all the quantum physics, yet, but if you give me a couple of days…"
"Or we could just use the one at the museum now, and not have to wait a couple of days."
"Wait, there is a time machine in the museum?"
"Yeah. We took it back in time to the Mesazoic Era."
"You gotta hang out with dinosaurs?"
"Yeah."
Ferb showed some pictures they took of that adventure to prove it.
Baljeet walked away, frustrated. "Well, thank you for inviting me."
Phineas turned to Ferb. "Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today. Well, I should say, I know what we're gonna do twenty years from today."
The two high-fived.
That's when Isabella arrived.
"Hey guys," she greeted. "Whatcha doin?"
"We're time traveling," Phineas replied.
"Can I come?"
"Sure, why not?"
"Yeah, Stacy," Candace said over the phone. "They're building something out there, but I've decided the problem is I always jump the gun, so I'm gonna wait till just the right moment to…"
Candace stopped when she saw Phineas and Ferb leaving the backyard. She quickly ran after them.
"They're on the move!" she shouted. "I'll bust them now!"
Candace followed the boys to the museum. She made it just in time to witness the boys and Isabella get on a time machine and time travel away.
"So that's what they're doing," she realized. "They're time traveling again. The best part is, they have to return to this exact spot, and I'll be standing right here with Mom to bust them when they get back."
Candace quickly realized that would be a fatal mistake. She moved a couple inches to the right.
"Actually, I'll be standing right here," she corrected herself. "I'd be crushed by the machine if I was standing there." Candace felt embarrassed. "And I'm talking to nobody."
Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella found themselves twenty years in the future.
"Here we are," Phineas said as he and Ferb got off. Isabella was about to follow, but Phineas stopped her. "Isabella, wait. You're the only one we can trust to watch the machine."
Phineas and Ferb walked away, while Isabella sat there, smiling and blushing.
He trusts me, she thought to herself as she leaned forward.
She accidentally hit the lever. She realized her mistake, but by then, it was too late. She and the time machine disappeared.
Phineas and Ferb left to see that a giant wing was on top.
"Hey, I see the museum finally added that new wing," Phineas remarked. "And would you look at how Danville's changed?"
And changed it did. There were mobile homes, flying cars, jetpacks, and so much more.
They then noticed a particular middle-aged woman. She had long, orange hair. She wore a red T-shirt, white pants, and brown shoes. She had a bag of groceries in her hands.
"Hey, that looks like…" Phineas said before realizing who the woman was. "It's Candace, twenty years older. I almost didn't recognize her. She looks so relaxed."
He then noticed three kids in the yard.
The girl bore a striking resemblance to the present Candace, only she wore a purple shirt with a white collar, as well as a white skirt.
The two boys appeared to be twins.
The first had blonde hair and teal eyes. He wore a green and white striped shirt, and green shorts.
The second had brown hair and dark blue eyes. He wore a red vest with white sleeves, white shorts, and brown shoes.
"I can't believe you, Xavier and Fred," the girl whined. "You two are so lazy. It's summer vacation and you're wasting it."
The girl walked away, frustrated.
"No we're not," the first boy, Xavier, retorted. "We're sitting under this digital tree."
"And I'm sitting next to him," the other, Fred, added.
The girl walked inside, where Candace was putting up the groceries.
"Do you see your two sons out there doing nothing?" the girl asked. "They never do anything!"
"Honey, don't exaggerate," Candace said. "I wish you and your brothers would get along. You know, my brothers, your uncles, Phineas and Ferb, used to annoy me too, but in the end, all that mattered was that we were family, and family should always look out for each other."
Phineas and Ferb entered the backyard.
"Hey guys," Phineas greeted the little boys. "Whatcha doin?"
"We're sitting under this digital tree," Xavier replied.
"And I'm sitting next to him," Fred added.
"Stacy, every job has its problems," Candace said over the phone. "There's gotta be an upside to being president of Uruguay. No? Okay. Me? I'm fine, and so are the kids." She looked out the window. "Xavier and Fred are in the backyard with a young Phineas and Ferb."
She quickly stopped herself and fully took in what she was seeing. A bunch of thoughts flooded her mind, ones she never even thought of thinking for the past twenty years.
"Gotta go, Stacy," was all she said before she hung up. "Good luck with that llama registration."
Candace walked outside and snuck behind the tree. She climbed it and watched from above.
"It is them," she realized. "They must've traveled from the past. Look how cute and bustable they look."
Candace then fell off the tree, given it was digital.
"Hey Mom," Xavier greeted.
The boys turned around.
"Hi Candace," Phineas greeted.
Candace ran away screaming, "I'm telling Mom!"
"Nice to know some things never change," Phineas sighed. "Hey, where's Perry?"
Doofenshmirtz … Incorporated
Doof and Perry were playing checkers.
"I finally got you, Perry the Platypus," Doof said cockily. "The end game is finally here."
Doof moved his piece. He instantly regretted it.
He noticed Perry was still asleep. He tried to take back his previous move.
Perry bolted awake, took out his fake teeth, and threw them onto Doof's nose.
"So, what spectacular adventures have you got lined up for the summer?" asked Phineas.
"We're sitting under this digital tree," Xavier replied.
"And I'm standing next to him," Fred added.
"That's it?" Phineas reacted. "But it's summer vacation! You're free to do anything!"
"Yeah, but this is the future," Xavier argued. "Everything's already been done."
"The Stone Age was once the future," Phineas retorted. "As was the Middle Ages. Creativity and invention never end. There's only 104 days of summer before school comes along just to end it, so you need to find the best way to spend it."

Danny, Bobbi, and Swampy arrived with their instruments.
All:
Like maybe
Crossing the tundra or building a rollercoaster
Skiing down a mountain of beans
Devising a system for remembering everything
Or synchronizing submarines
Racing chariots, taming tiger sharks
Constructing a portal to Mars
Building a time machine, stretching a rubber tree
Or wailing away on guitar
Danny:
Ah man
All:
This could possibly be the best day ever
And the forecast says that tomorrow will likely be a million and six times better
So make every minute count
Jump up, jump in, and seize the day
And let's make sure that in every single possible way
Today is gonna be a great day
Love Handel:
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Phineas:
Let's put our heads together and design a master plan
Phineas and Ferb:
We may miss dinner, but I know Mom will understand
Phineas:
We've got our mission and some pliers
Yogurt, gumballs and desire
Danny:
And a pocket full of rubber balls
Bobbi:
The manual on handstands
Phineas:
A unicycle, compass, and a camera that won't focus
Sherman:
And a canteen full of soda
Phineas:
Grab a beach towel, here we go
Danny:
This is Ferb-tastic
All:
This could possibly be the best day ever
And the forecast says that tomorrow will likely be a million and six times better
So make every minute count
Jump up, jump in, and seize the day
And let's make sure that in every single possible way
Today is gonna be a great day
End "Today's Gonna be a Great Day"
"Thanks a lot, guys," Phineas thanked.
"No problem," Danny replied. "We appreciate the gig."
Phineas turned to Xavier and Fred. "Love Handel, gentlemen."
The boys just sat there confused.
Phineas sighed. "Right. Before their time. Anyway, what are you gonna make this summer? How about bumper cars that move in five dimensions?"
"Okay, we'll do that," Xavier decided.
"Fun. We'd love to stay, but we gotta find a wood/steel fusing tool."
"Fred's got one."
"I'm sitting on it," Fred said as he showed the tool.
"I'm sitting next to it," Xavier added.
Phineas took the tool.
"Fantastic," he said. "Thanks. Have a good future."
With that, Phineas and Ferb left.
Candace reached the Flynn-Fletcher antique store. Linda was working at the cash register.
"Mom, you gotta come with me right now," Candace demanded.
"I can't right now," Linda replied. "I'm getting ready for my tour. It's my comeback tour. Two more and I get a free pie."
Candace sighed. "Come on."
Phineas and Ferb returned to the museum. They noticed the time machine was gone.
"That's funny," he said. "The time machine's missing." For whatever reason, he was starting to worry about Isabella. "Wait, that means Isabella could be anywhere, anytime. Oh, god."
That's when the time machine popped up. Isabella was there, and it looked like nothing bad happened to her.
"Isabella!" Phineas shouted, happy to see her. He ran to her and hugged her, causing her to blush. "I'm so glad you're okay. When I saw the time machine was gone, I got worried, and…"
Phineas stopped himself, having realized what he was doing. He quickly backed away, blushing a little.
"It was quite the adventure," Isabella explained as she showed some souvenirs. "I brought back a wooly mammoth's tusk, a viking helmet, and smallpox."
Phineas and even Ferb gasped. Phineas especially regretted hugging Isabella even more than he already did.
"And the vaccine," Isabella added.
Phineas sighed in relief.
"Alright," he said. "Let's make like a banana and invert our molecules through the space time continuum."
Candace and Linda were running through the museum.
"They were at my house so they must be here," Candace said.
"Honey, I can't run like I used to," Linda said.
Candace noticed the time machine, but by then, it was too late. It was already gone.
"No, we're too late!" she screamed before turning to Linda. "Mom!"
Linda was admiring an old bone.
"I always loved this old bone," she mentioned.
"Mom, you never saw them, and you still never see them!" Candace whined like she was still the bratty teenager she once was. "It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair!"
"Candace, you're a grown woman. I really thought you finally moved past all this nonsense."
Back in the present, the current Candace and Linda were walking through the museum.
"Candace, I have a lot to do today," said Linda.
Candace ignored that. "Here. See? The time machine's gone! Mom?"
That's when the time machine popped up, Phineas and Ferb with it.
"Mom!" Candace called. She found Linda watching as a new bone was installed. "Mom, you missed it again!"
Phineas and Ferb walked by.
"Hi, Mom," Phineas greeted.
"Hi boys," Linda replied.
"Wow, imagine the size of the creature that bone came from."
"I know."
"No, can't you see?" Candace complained. "They were time traveling!"
"This obsession has gone on for longer than it should," Linda scolded. "You need to stop."
"I won't stop! Never!"
Back in the future, Candace was sulking in the corner of the museum.
That's when a time machine popped up. A particular man was on it. He had a more triangular-shaped head, a pointy nose, and a neck pointing in an unnatural direction. He wore what looked to be a fusion of steampunk and futuristic clothes.
"I've done it!" he shouted in a high voice. " I, Professor Time, have invented time travel!" He turned to Candace. "Excuse me, future human, have actual corn dogs been invented yet?"
Candace nodded and pointed the professor in the right direction. He walked away.
Candace quickly called her daughter.
"Amanda, I'm taking a short trip today," she said. "You're in charge."
Candace sat down and pulled down the safety bar.
"Now where do I go?" she asked herself. "And more importantly, when? I know, I'll set it for a date I know I can bust the boys. The first day of that fateful summer. The day they built the rollercoaster."
Candace pulled the lever, and she and the time machine disappeared.
The Day of the Rollercoaster
Candace saw that the rollercoaster was in action. She hurried to the grocery store.
Once there, she saw a few boys around Phineas and Ferb's age standing in front of the flier.
"Phineas and Ferb made a rollercoaster?" one asked. "Do you think we'll get a discount if we take the flier?"
"Maybe we better take it," said another.
The boys took the flier and ran off. They were blocked by a bigger boy who Candace recognized as Buford.
"If anyone's gonna be riding this," he said. "It's gonna be me. Not you lousy extras."
Buford took the flier and ran off.
Past Candace arrived with Past Linda.
"See, I told you I wasn't crazy," she said.
"And you're not crazy, how?" asked Linda.
Past Candace turned to the wall. The flier was gone. She screamed at the top of her lungs.
Future Candace made her move. She approached Linda.
"The poster's missing, right?" she asked. "Follow me."
Future Candace led Linda outside. Luckily for her, the rollercoaster didn't disappear. Linda couldn't describe how horrified she was.
"Oh my stars!" she reacted. "Phineas and Ferb made that? That is horribly unsafe and dangerous!" Linda brought out her phone and dialed 911. "Hello? Police, Fire Department, Army, Air Force, Navy, anyone, SAVE MY SONS!"
Meanwhile, Doof and Perry were trying to separate the magnet from the Magnifinator. It was no use. They were doomed…
Until Perry noticed a police helicopter flying by.
The copter's pilot received a communication.
"This is Base to Chopper One," said the communicator. "Some kids built a rollercoaster through downtown. It's video."
"Roger that," the pilot said as he turned around.
Perry tried to grapple himself onto the copter. He missed.
Perry saw the tin foil ball heading straight for him.
Uh oh, he thought to himself.
Doof was able to jump out of the way. Perry wasn't so lucky.
"I'm alive!" Doof cheered.
The rollercoaster was stopped right where the grocery store was. Some firefighters escorted the kids off the coaster and down on the ground.
"Phineas, Ferb, you two are in so much trouble!" Linda yelled.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!" Past Candace cheered.
Linda carried Phineas and Ferb to the car. Phineas managed to sneak an angry glare at Past Candace.
"My job is done," Future Candace said to herself. "Time to go home."
Candace returned to her time.
"Ah, it's good to be back…" she said to herself before noticing something was wrong. "Home?"
But it wasn't home. Well, it wasn't the home she knew. It was dark, cloudy, and filled with factories.
"I can't believe this is Danville," Candace said to herself before noticing someone nearby.
The man wore a mostly gray outfit, though he did wear a white lab coat over it all.
"Hello? What happened here?" Candace asked him.
"Didn't you get the new Shmirtzmail?" the man replied. "It's the new Doofen-law. All museums that aren't about Doofenshmirtz are to be dismantled? Hey, why aren't you wearing your lab coat?"
"Uh, I gotta see my children."
Candace made a run for it.
The man stared at Candace, dumbfounded. "Children? There are no children allowed anymore."
"How long have I been away?" Candace asked herself. She noticed a bunch of signs that said 'Joe's' and 'Joan's'. "That's strange. Joe's, Joan's, Joe's, Joan's. What isn't either of those things?"
Candace noticed a man and a woman greeting each other. The man was called 'Joe' and the woman was called 'Joan'.
One man in particular approached Candace.
"Pardon me, Joan," he said. "Have you seen my husband, Joe, or wife, Joan?"
"Uh, no," Candace replied, not knowing how to react to this.
"Thanks anyway, Joan." The man, presumably Joe, walked away.
"Why is every man Joe and every woman Joan?" Candace asked herself.
"Why else?" asked a tiny man, presumably also named Joe. "So Emperor Doofenshmirtz need not bother remembering names."
"And who is…"
"Oh no. I said too much." Joe ran away, screaming.
"Who the heck is Doofenshmirtz?!" Candace shouted, not noticing the statue right behind her.
Candace reached the library. She looked through the records.
"I gotta know what happened in the last twenty years," she said to herself.
She played a video with the logo, 'A Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated Production'. It played a slideshow depicting the events while a narrator explained what happened.
"Our glorious dystopia began one summer afternoon, when two local boys were caught building and riding a dangerous rollercoaster. The rightful reaction by concerned parents was to stop all creativity in young people before someone got hurt. Everything fun and unique were gleefully banned. Dangerous swing sets were remade into dismal hospital beds. Coloring books were colored ahead of time and inside the lines. Eventually, children themselves were arrested and locked away until adulthood."
What Candace saw next shook her to her core. The images depicted Phineas, Ferb, and their friends, now adults, locked away in a prison, one that looked exactly like the prison from Candace's nightmare all those years ago.
"If they happen to somehow maintain childlike wonder even after adulthood, they'd be sent off to an impenetrable prison camp which won't stop until they're completely stripped of any and all personality," the narrator added.
What have I done? Candace thought to herself.
"Yes, oppressive beauty and happiness were gratefully replaced by the glimmering cesspool we wallow in today," the narrator continued. "A demoralized Tri-State Area cried out to be oppressed, and that cry was answered by one hero. Emperor Doofenshmirtz."
Doofenshmirtz's face appeared on screen.
"Get back to work," he demanded.
"So this is all my fault," Candace said aloud. "I gotta stop this."
A woman approached Candace with a lab coat.
"Excuse me, Joan," she said. "Lab coats must be worn at all times."
Candace took the lab coat and ran off. She ran past a statue of Doof.
This didn't go unnoticed by one of Doof's assistants.
"Excuse me, sir," he told Doof. "A woman just ran past your statue without basking in your awful glory."
"You are such a tattle tale," Doof said.
"That is my job description. Tattle tale."
"Quiet! I need to address the populace." Doof turned to the camera in front of him. "Attention, underlings. People often ask me, 'Doof, how does it feel to wield such absolute power?' Well, I'll tell you."
Play "Charmed Life"
Doof put on a hat and snapped his fingers. A few women appeared behind him to dance along to his song.
Doof:
It's been a charmed life, got all I ever wanted
And I'm not too shy to flaunt it, you see
It's been a sweet ride, everyone is genuflecting
And erecting giant statues of me
It's like a great lunch, with all you can eat
And I can leave my wallet at home
And everyone pays for me because it's compulsory
Or into the stockade, they're thrown
Still, I'm a nice guy
How many emperors will always remember your name?
Doof turned to one of his backup dancers. "How are you doing, Joan?"
I must admit, I may take quite a lot
But I will always give you plenty of blame
It's been a sweet ride, life's a bowl of cherries
And nobody's merrier than me
Because everyone if the proletariat
And baby, I'm the bourgeoisie
"Look it up, Joe!" he shouted.
Baby, I'm the bourgeoisie
Oh yeah
End "Charmed Life"
Perry was in his now damaged lair. Monogram was on screen.
"Agent P, another failed mission," he said. "It's gotten really hard to defeat Doofenshmirtz ever since we made that oath to obey him."
Carl appeared on screen.
"Major Monogram, I've detected a temporal anomaly in quadrant four," he said. "It means a time machine was recently used there."
"That's it!" Monogram shouted. "Agent P, you've got to get to that time machine and go back to the past, right before that tin foil ball put you in a body cast for eighteen months. That's when Doofenshmirtz got the upper hand, and it's been downhill ever since. This is our chance to fix it."
Before Monogram could say anymore, Doof hijacked the screen.
"Here's an idea," he suggested. "Instead of doing that, don't. Remember the oath."
The screen went back to Monogram.
"Curse that oath," he said angrily.
Candace returned to the museum only to see that the time machine was gone. She noticed a couple of men in a truck.
"Excuse me, uh, Joe and Joe," she called. "Where's all the museum stuff?"
"Where do you think?" one of the Joes replied. "They're in the junkyard."
Candace hurried to the junkyard. She looked around for the time machine. It didn't take long to find it.
"Back to the past, back to the past!" she repeated to herself.
She pulled the lever.
Candace reached the grocery store. She saw her other self and tackled her to the ground.
"Wait, are you me?" Good Future Candace asked, confused. "But I have to…"
"Change of plan," said Bad Future Candace. "I'll explain later. We can't let Candace see us."
"But I'm Candace."
"So am I."
The two Candaces hid behind a car. They watched as their past self excitedly ran to get Linda.
"Ah, I was so cute," they both said in unison.
"Why did you stop me?" asked Good Future Candace. "I was just about to bust the boys!"
"That's just it," Bad Future Candace replied. "I'm from a future where we did bust them! It's not good!"
They both noticed the rollercoaster getting carried into the air by a helicopter.
"Oh, that's how it happened," they both realized.
They noticed Past Candace was about to come out again. They both quickly ducked.
Bad Future Candace explained the bad future to her other self.
"Wow, that sounds horrible," said Good Future Candace.
"It was," said Bad Future Candace. "And the worst part is, the nightmare we had where the boys were sent to a reform camp became a reality."
"Okay. Wait a minute. Since you prevented that future, doesn't that mean you shouldn't exist anymore?"
"Oh…"
Bad Future Candace disappeared right then and there. There was not a single trace of her existence.
Candace hurried to the time machine. Before she could reach it, though, a ball of tin foil hit the time machine, shattering it into a million pieces.
"Well, crud," she said before an idea popped into her head. "Wait, Phineas and Ferb would know what to do."
Candace reached the Flynn-Fletcher backyard. Everything was as it should be. Isabella, Phineas, and Ferb were sitting under the tree and the rollercoaster was gone.
The kids noticed Candace.
"Wait, Candace, you're all grown up," said Phineas.
"Phineas, I'm from the future," Candace explained. "The time machine I arrived in is smashed to pieces. I'm stuck here unless you help."
"Ferb, isn't there a time machine in the Museum of Natural History?"
"Yes, that's the one you fix later in the summer. It's the one I took back from the future."
"Okay, if the one in the future is destroyed, the current one is raring to go. We'll fix it and take you home, then come back and unfix it, so it'll be ready to be fixed again when we go to the museum the next time."
Candace barely processed that. "Phineas, I'm a grown woman and I only barely understand any of that."
"Just trust me."
Phineas took Candace's hand and led her away.
"Wow, rollercoaster ride, now this," Isabella remarked. "Bonus."
Past Candace noticed her future self with the boys. She followed them.
"Are you sure you can fix this time machine?" Future Candace asked.
"Don't worry, Candace," Phineas assured. "We're almost done."
Past Candace approached her future self and got a good look at her.
"This is so awesome!" she cheered. "I finally have proof! I'll take my older self, bring her to Mom, Mom will see that the boys built some sort of time machine, and they'll be busted! I love you, me! Let's go!"
Past Candace grabbed Future Candace's hand and tried to carry her away.
"Wow, I forgot how annoying I used to be," Future Candace remarked.
"Welcome to my world," said Phineas.
"Candace, honey, get a hold of yourself," Future Candace said to her past self. "I have no interest in busting the boys anymore."
"What?" Past Candace reacted. "But you're me! You have to want to bust them!"
"Well, sometimes getting what you want isn't what you need. You'll find out as you mature."
"Ready?" Phineas asked.
Future Candace got on the time machine with everyone else.
"'You'll find out as you mature'," Past Candace mocked.
"Candace, relax," said Future Candace. "Everything works out."
"Future, here we come," said Phineas.
Phineas pulled the lever.
Past Candace jumped on at the last second.
The gang reached the future. Everything was as it should be.
"Ha!" Past Candace laughed. "If you won't show my mom, I'll show your mom. I'm all the proof I need."
Past Candace ran out of the museum.
"We should go after her," said Phineas.
Past Candace reached the antique store.
"Yes, it's still here!" she shouted. She noticed the doors opened automatically. "Ooh, future."
Past Candace ran inside and saw Linda stocking some shelves.
"Mom, it's me!" she shouted. "Candace from the past!"
"Honey, what are you…" Linda was about to ask before seeing Past Candace. "Candace, you're so young!"
"Mom, you're so…" Past Candace tried to stop herself, but for whatever reason, it was harder than it should've been.
"You don't have to say it," Linda said. "I mean it."
That's when Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, and Future Candace came in.
"Mom, you're so old," Phineas said the moment he saw her.
Linda sighed. "Hi boys. Aren't you a little young to be time travelers?"
"Yes, yes we are."
"A time machine," Linda gasped, before turning to both Candaces. "Does this mean that all those times you told me the boys were up to something, they really were?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Past Candace replied. "Now you can finally bust them!"
"Candace, my Phineas and Ferb are in their thirties now. Also, I kinda figured you were telling the truth after a while."
Candace gasped in shock. "What?"
"I mean, you were telling me these things for an entire summer. It took me a while, but I eventually figured you were telling the truth. I still didn't punish them because if everything went back to normal in the end, that meant the boys knew what they were doing and were safe with it."
Candace groaned. "Okay, but officially, on record, they are busted, right?"
"Sure. They're busted."
Everyone returned to the museum.
"Guys, we've seen how time travel can mess things up big time," said Future Candace. "So promise me you'll never go into the future again."
"Yeah, maybe it is a bad idea," Phineas admitted. "Just think, all of this started because we needed a steel/wood fusing tool."
An idea popped into Isabella's head. She ran to the time machine.
"Say, how do Ferb and I turn out?" Phineas asked.
"Fantastic," Future Candace replied. "They've even helped make Danville what it is today. Just keep up the good work, keep your temper under control, and be nice to your sister."
Isabella returned with a soda in hand.
"You coming or what?" she asked.
The past Flynn-Fletchers got on the time machine.
"So those are Uncles Phineas and Ferb as kids?" asked Amanda.
"That's right," Future Candace replied.
"And that girl looks like Aunt Isabella."
Isabella heard that.
"Did you hear that?" she asked Past Candace. "Aunt Isabella. That means I'm gonna marry Phineas."
"Or Ferb," Past Candace mentioned. "Though I'd rather it be Phineas."
Isabella and Ferb looked at each other. They were both visibly disgusted at the idea of getting married.
"Let's go," Phineas said as he pulled the lever.
The time machine disappeared, the past gang with it.
Candace and Amanda left the museum.
"Your brothers are so cool," Amanda remarked. "Meanwhile, I'm stuck with…" Amanda noticed that Xavier and Fred weren't there. "Wait, where are Xavier and Fred?"
Two portals appeared. Xavier and Fred popped out of them riding bumper cars.
"Xavier, Fred, what are you doing?" Amanda asked.
"Nothing," Xavier replied.
"See, Mom? They don't do anything!"
"Give it a rest, Amanda," said Candace.
The present gang returned to their time.
"Oh man," said Candace. "In twenty years, you guys are so busted! I guess that's a hollow victory, but it proves you can be busted, so I'm never gonna stop trying! Never! Never! Never!"
Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella all watched as Candace walked away, continuing to chant.
Phineas sighed. "Here we go."
"Well, at least we know she mellows with age," said Ferb.
Flashback
"You got to hang out with dinosaurs?" asked Baljeet.
"Yeah, earlier this summer," Phineas replied.
Ferb showed the pictures to prove it.
Baljeet walked away, frustrated. "Well, thank you for inviting me."
"Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today," Phineas said.
That's when Isabella appeared on her time machine.
"No you don't," she said. "Here's the tool you need."
She gave the boys the tool.
"Thanks," Phineas said. "Wanna soda?"
"Sure," Isabella replied as she took the soda.
With that, she was gone.
"I guess we don't need to go to the future," said Phineas.
"Some other time, perhaps," Ferb suggested.
"I'm watching you!" Candace called.
"That's not gonna stop us!" Phineas shouted back.
End of Flashback
A.N.
This was a fun episode. We got the extended version of the theme song, confirmation that Phineas and Isabella are endgame (ignoring the joke that Isabella could marry Ferb), and the boys getting busted without something undoing it (even though it was a hollow victory).
One small change I decided to make was reference Professor Time. If you happen to not know about Milo Murphy's Law, in that show, Doctor Doofenshmirtz is the inventor of time travel, and he changed his name to Professor Time so he can sell merchandise. I decided to reference that here.
I decided to make it more apparent in this version that Phineas and Ferb are the reason why Danville is as technologically advanced as it is in the future. I think it makes sense.
Also in this universe, Linda did eventually figure out on her own that the boys are up to something. This is mainly inspired by a theory made by the youtuber Jegcopo that Linda always knew. I don't believe the stuff he said about Linda using Candace's stories for profit, and working with Phineas to drive Candace insane, because that's just evil, but I also don't believe Linda is that stupid.
I did consider changing events so that Future Candace would have to work alongside Future Perry to save Future Phineas, Ferb, and co. from prison to rebuild a demolished time machine, but I scrapped that whole plot point because it would overcomplicate things and make this chapter a lot longer than it needs to be.
That's all I have to say. Thanks for reading.
