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.

104 Days of Summer Vacation
Day 41
The Bully Code
Baljeet was at the Slushy Dog. Jeremy was working there.
"Do you find it curious that your menu has not changed since you opened in 1929?" Baljeet asked.
"I know," Jeremy replied. "Pretty cool, huh? It's our motto: 'Slushy Dogs will never get any better!'"
"In that case…"
Before Baljeet could say anymore, Buford pushed him aside.
"Step aside, wiener," he said. "One windmill dog, hold the bun."
Jeremy already had one at the ready. He handed it to Buford.
Buford ate the whole thing in one bite. He swallowed a little too early. He started to choke.
Thankfully, Baljeet was able to step in and do a heimlich maneuver. The dog flew out of Buford's pipe, allowing him to breathe again.
"You saved me," Buford said.
"It was nothing," Baljeet assured, blushing.
But Buford didn't see it that way. Despite the fact he spent the entire summer being a jerk, Baljeet never showed any apathy or contempt towards Buford. He was loyal, through and through. Buford felt that he needed to show gratitude in some way, without making him look suspicious.
He did the first thing that came to mind. He got down on his knees.
"What are you doing?" asked Baljeet.
"I am your humble servant," Buford replied. "It's the bully code. I live my life by it. 'If a nerd saves a bully's life, the bully is the nerd's slave for life'."
"You cannot rhyme 'life' with 'life'."
"Duh. It was written by bullies."
Baljeet blushed even more. "I am flattered, but I do not want a slave."
"Too bad. You got one."
"Goodbye."
Baljeet left the restaurant.
"I will empty my mind of all thoughts except for Baljeet," Buford said to himself. Images of Baljeet came to his mind a lot quicker than expected, making him blush. "That was easy."
He started to follow Baljeet at a respectable distance.
Ferb showed Phineas multiple different blueprints. For whatever reason, none of them worked for Phineas. After a while, something else came to mind.
"Hey, where's Perry?" he asked.
Perry was in the bathroom. When no one was around, he put on his hat and stepped on a tile.
The floor lit up like a dance floor. Perry danced for a bit before falling into his lair.
"Ah, Agent P," Monogram greeted. "Sorry to disturb you on Canada Day, but the world's top evil scientists have been photographed leaving Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated. Something big is going on. Real big. I need you to infiltrate his headquarters."
Carl cleared his throat.
"Sorry, we need you to infiltrate his headquarters," Monogram corrected himself. "Carl wants me to be more 'inclusive'. Find out what he's up to."
Perry activated the propeller on his seat and flew off.
Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated
Perry flew through the wall. He found Doof sitting down with a cast on his leg.
"Perry the Platypus," Doof greeted. "Have you come to sign my cast? Look, I saved you a spot."
Perry saw the spot. He took the marker.
The marker had a little rocket inside. It launched Perry into the air and hit the ceiling. It then formed into a net and trapped him.
"Ha, you're caught!" Doof laughed. "In exactly thirty minutes, the Tutti McFruttie ice cream man will park his truck in front of my building. I know because I was standing there yesterday when HE RAN OVER MY FOOT! Well, today, I will wreck my horrible vengeance. Behold, my Re-Tire-Inator! You know, he ran over my foot with a tire, so I'm gonna hit him with a giant tire. Get it? 'Re-tire'? Anyway…"
Doof did his usual evil laugh. Perry rolled his eyes.
Baljeet was lying on his bed and reading a math book when Buford came in.
"Little master, I washed all of your dust jackets and dusted all of your knick knacks," he said.
Baljeet turned to the bookshelf, which was covered in food.
"Those aren't knick knacks!" he shouted. "They are food, and they should be in the refrigerator!"
Buford blushed in embarrassment. "I'm sorry, little master. I'll strive to do better."
"Do not strive for anything, and I am not your little master!"
"Okay, then I'll fluff your pillow."
Buford started to do just that. Baljeet had enough and jumped out of the window.
"Stay away from me!" he demanded.
Play "He'll Do Anything But Go Away"
Baljeet headed to the mall. Unfortunately, Buford followed him everywhere he went, including the bathroom.
Buford stood outside of Baljeet's stall with a spare roll of toilet paper.
Baljeet:
He follows me all over town, and every time I turn around
He's standing there at a respectable distance
Later, Buford was helping Baljeet put up his clothes. When it didn't fit, Buford forced it inside.
He's arranging my underwear drawer
By dumping it out on the floor
Later, Baljeet was brushing his teeth. Buford was helping him by moving his arm back and forth.
When I'm brushing my teeth
I don't need his assistance
No, no, no
At the park, Buford saw how the mama bird fed her child and decided to copy her.
Well, the story is old
It's a seventies sitcom cliche
Buford helped Baljeet cross the street by carrying him in his arms.
He says he's in my debt
But I wish he'd forget
While walking down the sidewalk, Buford saw a puddle. He helped Baljeet cross it by lifting him up and lightly throwing him across.
He'll do anything for me
Anything but go away
End "He'll Do Anything But Go Away"
When Baljeet thought he finally had a moment alone, he hurried to the Flynn-Fletcher backyard.
"Phineas, Ferb!" he shouted. "I saved Buford's life, and because of the bully code, he is my personal slave! It is driving me crazy! You got to help me!"
"Okay," said Phineas. "We just need to find a way for him to save your life, and you'll be even. Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today."
Baljeet admired what Phineas and Ferb made.
"Yes, this is definitely the thing," he said, trying to sound positive.
He didn't know exactly what it was, though, because it was needlessly complicated, so it was difficult to sound positive. In the end, he couldn't do it.
"What is this thing again?" he asked.
"This contraption is completely foolproof," Phineas explained. "Let me explain. You'll 'accidentally' step on that platform, which will launch you up and over that flight of stairs, where you'll be kicked and rocketed through a piece of sheet rock onto a trampoline, then conveyor belted up to a rotating system that will drop you onto a spring, bouncing you all the way to that red X, where Buford will be standing, waiting to catch you, saving your life."
Baljeet felt a rush of emotions. He was so terrified at the idea, yet he was tingling with excitement.
That's when an idea came to Phineas' mind. "Though, it just occurred to me that you're giving up something cool here."
"What?" asked Baljeet.
"You're spending all this energy trying to stop Buford from being your personal bodyguard, but having the biggest, toughest kid in town as your personal bodyguard is a sign of supreme coolness." Phineas started to tease at the next bit. "Besides, it also gives you more reason to spend more time with him."
He winked when he finished saying that.
Baljeet started to consider that idea.
Doof heard a familiar ring.
"Hear that, Perry the Platypus?" he asked. "Tootie McFrutti has arrived on time. In a few seconds, he'll be flattened by a speeding tire."
Unfortunately for Doof, Perry found a weak spot in the net. He extended his foot, deepening the hole. He then launched himself towards the inator, causing it to aim in another direction.
The inator then tipped over. Perry could see it was about to crush Doof's other foot.
Perry struggled to choose whether he should save Doof or just leave it.
A demonic version of him appeared on one of his shoulders.
"Leave him," it said. "It serves him right for wasting your time."
Then, an angelic version of Perry appeared on his other shoulder.
"No," it argued. "You leave him and you're no better than him."
Perry realized the angel had a point. He nodded at it before running towards Doof. He pushed him out of the way in the nick of time.
Buford found Baljeet with the boys.
"Little master," he called. "I finished color-coding your overalls. What do you want me to do next?"
Baljeet smiled at Phineas before answering. "Well first, I would like you to iron all of my books, then perhaps polish my retainer, then start my college applications, massage my tootsies, sew my name onto my underwear, organize my book reports by subject…"
Baljeet's constant speaking started to bore Buford out. He looked away from the corner of his eye.
He saw a tire hit the giant hot dog at the top of the Slushy Dog. The dog flew towards Baljeet.
Buford quickly pushed Baljeet out of the way.
"Buford, you saved me," Baljeet smiled.
"So?" Buford asked, trying to hide his blush. "We're even. Now I'm not your servant anymore."
"Well, doesn't you saving me make me your servant?"
"That's not how it works!"
Baljeet got suspicious of that statement. "Why?"
Buford realized he couldn't hide it anymore. "Because the bully code isn't real! I made it up as an excuse because I wanted to thank you for saving me earlier!"
Buford quickly regretted admitting that. He looked away so no one would see him blushing.
Baljeet noticed it, though. He approached Buford and held his hand.
"Hey, I don't see anything wrong with that," he assured. "Also, you're welcome."
Buford felt an overwhelming feeling of positivity inside him. He couldn't describe how it felt. It was almost like he had a…
"Okay," he said, trying to sound normal again. "Anyone want a Slushy Dog before we get home?"
"No," Phineas replied bluntly.
"Slushy Dogs never get any better," Ferb added.
"I wouldn't mind one," Baljeet admitted.
Linda was driving home from shopping when she saw a certain contraption across from the Slushy Dog. She had no idea how to describe it.
"I'll never understand public art," she said to herself.
A.N.
This was an interesting chapter.
First off, I decided to skip over the plot with Candace. It just feels like a rehash of her plotlines from both the Unfair Science Fair and the Split Personality episodes, the latter of which was the very previous chapter, because it involves Candace getting a job where Jeremy works and there's something to do with photos of her coming out wrong. It just felt lazy to include that plot.
There's also the little gag where Perry has the angel and devil on his shoulders, kinda like how Pluto has them in some of the old shorts. It was a gag I came up with while writing this chapter. I plan to include it in other chapters, but I don't plan to do it too much.
The biggest change was easily Buford. In this version, Buford lies about the "bully code" as an excuse to do stuff for Baljeet as a showcase of gratitude for saving his life. I felt it made more sense as it develops Buford's character and crush on Baljeet.
That's all I have to say. Thanks for reading.
