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 66
Minor Monogram
Once the alarm went off, Ferb woke up like he always did. He turned to the portrait of Vanessa he had taped to his wall, and he kissed it.
Phineas tried covering his ears with his pillow so he wouldn't have to hear the kissing. The sound went through loud and clear.
Phineas didn't know how he was able to put up with it for so long. Either way, he decided he wasn't gonna put up with it anymore.
Once Ferb was done kissing the portrait of Vanessa, he climbed out of bed to do his usual morning routine.
But Phineas got in the way.
"Ferb, we need to talk," he said, gesturing to the portrait. "You still like her, don't you?"
Ferb nodded, blushing a little bit.
Phineas groaned. "Ferb, this isn't healthy. She rejected you ages ago. Besides, isn't she, like, way older than you?"
Ferb didn't say a thing. He just looked away.
Phineas sighed. "I can't really say anything other than you have to let her go."
After a moment, Ferb finally spoke. "That's not as easy as you think, Phineas."
An idea popped into Phineas' head. "Hey, I know how you can take your mind off of her."
The boys, now joined by Isabella, Buford, Baljeet, and Django, relaxed on top of the tree in their backyard. Phineas noticed some of the leaves were already starting to change color.
"Boy, it seems like summer flies by so fast sometimes," he remarked.
"Yeah," Isabella agreed. "In a matter of time, it'll be autumn."
"Yeah, back to school, baby!" Baljeet cheered, only to earn glares from everyone else. "Oh, you meant that like a bad thing."
"There are a lot of great things about fall," Phineas said, getting back on topic. "Jumping in giant leaf piles, for one."
"Yeah," said Isabella. "They turn such pretty colors in the fall. I love it."
"There's also pumpkin carving," Django added.
Buford nodded. "Yeah, gourds are great."
"I know what we should do today," Phineas decided. "Remember how we did Christmas in July? Well, let's do Autumn in August. Hey, where's Perry?"
Perry was in his lair, awaiting instructions. However, Monogram was occupied.
"Carl," he called.
Carl appeared on screen. "Yes?"
"Did I ever tell you you're like the son I never had?"
"Really?"
"Yes, because you're so unlike the son I did have. Here he is. Come on over here, Monty."
Monogram's son, Monty, appeared on screen. He was a seventeen-year-old boy that bore a striking resemblance to his father. He had the face, the large nose, and the unibrow. What set him apart, though, was his brown hair and gray hoodie.
"Dad, you know it's embarrassing when you brag about me by belittling others," he said with an embarrassed smile.
"Right." Monogram cleared his throat. "Agent P, you remember my son?"
Monty waved. "Good to see you Agent P."
"Monty just graduated from high school."
"Yes. I've been hoping to follow my father's footsteps and join you in the battle against evil."
Monogram frowned a bit. "You know, son, I've been meaning to tell you something."
"Okay, shoot."
"As you know, my dad was in the agency, but what you don't know is that he pressured me into following his footsteps. I don't want to make the same mistake he did. Monty, you don't have to be an agent. You can be anything you want to be."
Monty rolled his eyes. "But Dad, I do want to fight evil."
"No. I don't want you thinking you have to follow in my footsteps to make me proud."
"Dad, I'm not doing it for that reason. It's just what I want to do."
Carl, having overheard the conversation, decided to step in.
"Sir, if it makes you happy, I can always not be an agent," he said.
"Carl, you're already not an agent," Monogram reminded. "You're an intern."
"Oh."
Perry chattered, reminding everyone he was still there.
"Oh, uh…" Monogram cringed. "Stop Doofenshmirtz."
Vanessa was on the phone with Johnny. He just canceled their date because he decided he'd rather play some video game today.
Obviously, Vanessa was angered by this. "Seriously, Johnny? A video game is more important than me?! That's it! We're done!"
She hung up before Johnny could say anything else.
Vanessa then saw Doof with some guy she didn't know.
The new guy seemed to be of Latino origin. He had short, black hair. He wore a dark gray shirt with a lab coat over it, and beige pants.
"Hello, Vanessa," Doof greeted. "Let me introduce Rodrigo to you. He's starting evil science school in the fall and I'm mentoring him. I'm in mid-ment."
"Call me Rod," said Rodrigo.
"Is that what your friends call you?" asked Vanessa.
"No one calls me that. It's just that you seem rather… unique."
Vanessa rolled her eyes. Expect some random guy to try and flirt with her right after her breakup.
Doof noticed Vanessa's troubled look. "Vanessa, what's wrong?"
Vanessa sighed. "Nothing. It's just… Johnny's such a boy. He has no ambitions, no depth…"
"You always go for the wrong type of guy, those bad-boy types."
"Dad, perhaps you haven't noticed, but you're evil." Vanessa hugged Doof. "But there's good evil and bad evil."
"Exactly."
"So, how do we get all the leaves down anyway?" asked Baljeet.
"Way ahead of you," Buford replied. "Grab an end."
He handed Baljeet one end of a crosscut saw, then he grabbed onto the other end.
"Buford, no!" Isabella shouted. "That's Phineas' tree! That's the tree!"
"Sentimentality or leaves," Buford argued. "You can't have both."
"Au contraire," Phineas retorted. "If you would kindly direct your attention to Ferb…"
Everyone turned to Ferb. With a special machine, Ferb managed to make a bunch of leaves grow on a tiny plant, then change color and fall off, in just one second.
"Anyway, Jenny," Candace said over the phone. "I decided that from now on, I'm going to stop interrupting my life with all these…"
She stopped herself when she saw that the door to the backyard was covered in autumn leaves.
"I'm gonna have to call you back, Jenny," was all Candace said before she hung up.
She walked to the door and tried to look through it. All she could see were leaves.
"Oh, so you think a pile of leaves will stop me from seeing your big project?" she assumed. I thought you were past that.
She opened the door, but the leaves didn't come down.
Seeing no other choice, Candace tried to dig her way through the wall.
The kids stood outside the backyard to admire the big pile of leaves they created.
"Now that's a leaf pile," Phineas remarked.
Doof wrote the word 'backstory' on a blackboard.
"Backstory, backstory, backstory!" he repeated as he tapped the board with a stick. "The backstory is what drives an evil scientist. It is the 'why do they do what they do?'" He tossed the stick on the ground, scaring off some random cat. "My point is, at its best, evil science is like undergoing a deep Freudian analysis."
"Hey guys," Vanessa called. "It's such a beautiful day. I thought maybe we could put the top down?"
"Oh, okay," Doof relented.
"See? You are the best…"
"No tattoo."
"Shoot."
Doof pushed the button, opening the roof.
Then Perry flew in.
Perry
"Ah, Perry the Platypus," Doof smiled. "You've arrived just in time… to be trapped!"
With a push of a button, Perry was trapped in a shoebox. The box opened up to reveal Perry was trapped in a boot.
"Now that's what I call 'getting the boot'," Doof laughed.
"Wow, a real agent," Rodrigo admired.
"See, now that's a trap," Doof said to Rodrigo. "I even made it based on my own daughter's fashion style. Vampire-pilgrim scuba diver."
Vanessa was offended by that statement. "Wait, is that what you think I look…" She stopped when she saw how the boot trap looked almost exactly like her actual boots. "Wait, you made this? What size is it?"
"Excuse the interrupting," said Rodrigo. "But it looks like he can get out pretty easily."
"Duh," Doof replied. "It just needs to hold him long enough for you to get through your evil scheme monologue. At that point, the race is on. Who will win, good or evil? No one can say, except of course, if you go by recent statistics, which, it's pretty much good who wins every time no matter what. Though, if it was that easy, everyone would take over the Tri-State Area, and we'd be forced to, I don't know, decide the rules together by voting or something."
"I see. It's just that I took a few advanced trapping classes, and I was hoping to show you, the master, a few of my little ideas in the hopes that you could critique them."
"Alright, knock yourself out."
Rodrigo took a few tools out of his backpack, then approached Perry.
"Don't worry, little platypus," he said. "When I'm through here, you'll never have to battle this inept loser anymore. You see, I plan to get rid of both of you."
Perry was genuinely horrified.
The kids used a giant balloon to float to the top of the pile.
"Now we've determined that the sweet spot is at the top of the pile," Phineas said.
"Oh, I made gourd helmets, by the way," Buford mentioned. He gave each of them a helmet, each one made from a different type of gourd. "I like to think each individual's gourd helmet captures the unique essence in some way."
Isabella looked at her helmet, disgusted. "Exactly how does this capture my essence?"
Phineas blushed at how beautiful Isabella looked with the helmet on. "Like that's not obvious."
The little door on their platform opened, signifying they were over the drop zone.
"Lady and gentlemen, welcome to 'S'Fall'," Phineas said as they all took hands.
Play "S'Fall"
The kids jumped and landed in the leaf pile.
"Woo-hoo!" they all cheered.
All the trees are ready for shaking
Grab a rake if you're into raking
They landed on a large leaf slide.
Come along, it's ours for the taking
There's a brand new season we're making
As they slid down, Phineas and Isabella held hands with each other. So did Buford and Baljeet.
All the leaves are gold and red
And the sun's still on our head
Once they reached the end of the slide, they plummeted down a leaf-waterfall.
Ferb noticed Django laughing and whooping, and he found it kinda cute.
That feeling pained him. Was it just his mind's way of coping with Vanessa?
Oh, we can have it all
When summer turns to S'Fall
End "S'Fall"
Candace finally made it out of the leaves, only to realize she was on top of a giant pile.
"What are they up to today?" she wondered. "Do they really think they can escape my wrath by hiding in this fun, massive, autumnal leaf pile? Well, not if I can help it."
She went back into the pile to keep looking.
Doof examined the new trap Rodrigo had installed. It was a metallic trap that kept Perry from moving all parts of his body.
"So, how do you feel, Perry the Platypus?" Doof asked.
Perry replied with a painful chatter.
Doof nodded. "Yeah, I thought so."
Rodrigo was taken aback. "Wait, you can understand him?"
"Yeah. You saying you don't?"
Vanessa put on the boot trap.
"So, you didn't by any chance make a left-boot trap, did you?" she asked.
Doof scoffed. "A left-boot trap? Whoever heard of such a thing?"
While no one was looking, Perry managed to activate his watch by pressing it against his restraint.
Monty was just minding his own business when an alarm went off. He turned to the computer to see that it was a distress call from Perry.
"Dad?" he called.
"Yes?" Monogram replied before realizing what this was about. "Uh-oh. Carl, send in Agent H."
"I can't, sir," Carl replied. "You already sent him after Doctor Wexler."
"Oh. What about Agent R?"
"Also gone."
"Agent S?"
"Gone."
"What about…?"
"Every agent has already been sent on a mission!"
Monogram started to worry. "Oh, this is bad."
"I can go," Monty suggested.
"No! I can't have you getting hurt on my watch!"
Monty put a hand on Monogram's shoulder. "Dad, I'll be fine. I know what I'm doing. Trust me."
Monogram still didn't want this, but what other choice did he have? "Fine, you can go. Just be careful. I worry about you."
Monty saluted and ran out to save Perry.
"Using my intimate knowledge of the Tri-State Area," Doof explained. "I have installed, in two precise locations, these."
He pulled a lever, causing two giant towers to emerge in two different areas of Downtown Danville.
"Cool," Vanessa sarcastically remarked.
"I know, right?" Doof replied. "These massive propellers will physically dislodge the entire Tri-State Area from the Earth, and raise it into the air, then refuse to return it until they make me their leader."
Doof pulled the lever again, activating the propellers. The city rose into the air pretty quickly.
"Huh, that went well," Doof remarked.
"Extremely well," Rodrigo agreed.
He pushed a button on his remote. Two tentacles emerged from Perry's trap, and they wrapped around Doof's legs.
"What is this?" Doof asked.
"It's a trap," Rodrigo replied bluntly. "What else would it be? I am taking over your evil scheme, you fool!"
He pushed the button again, pulling Doof closer to him.
Vanessa tried to save her dad, but she couldn't move. She remembered she deliberately put on the boot that was stuck to the floor.
What was I thinking? she asked herself.
"You see, Doctor Doofenshmirtz," Rodrigo explained. "I'm going to manipulate your propellers at precise angles and literally tear the Tri-State Area apart!"
"Hey dummy," said Doof. "If you tear apart the Tri-State Area, what exactly do you have left to take over?"
Rodrigo just laughed. "The world!"
"That's crazy! Like, left-boot trap crazy!"
"Would you get off that?" Vanessa asked, still struggling to get the boot trap off of her. "Making matching boots is normal! You with the one boot? That's crazy!"
"Join me, Vanessa," Rodrigo offered. "And together, we will take over the world. I'll let you get a tattoo. I think boots should go in pairs, like normal people."
Vanessa was absolutely disgusted. "Join you? I don't work for that guy! He's my father, you dweeb!"
"I… thought we had a moment."
"A moment?"
Perry chattered and gave a thumbs-down.
"I know," said Vanessa. "What a dip."
Rodrigo was heartbroken by the rejection, but he brushed it off.
"No matter," he said. "Now, it's time to say goodbye to your beloved Tri-State Area!"
He grabbed the controls and used them to redirect the propellers.
Then, someone flew in and kicked Rodrigo to the ground.
That's when Vanessa finally freed herself from the trap of her own making. The first thing she did was try to release Perry from his trap.
The kids were just enjoying some candy apples when Candace slid into the scene.
Buford quickly gave her a gourd helmet before she could hit her head.
Candace got up and laughed. "I finally caught you! I can see you're…" She trailed off when she realized the kids weren't doing anything crazy. "Eating candy apples. Not something I can bust you for."
"Do you want one, Candace?" Phineas offered.
Since she had nothing better to do, and the search left her hungry, Candace decided she might as well have an apple.
With Rodrigo occupied, Doof managed to grab Rodrigo's remote and release himself.
"At least I can still go on with my plan," he said.
He took control of the levers again, making the propeller towers completely vertical again.
By then, Vanessa finished releasing Perry.
Perry tackled Doof, then he disabled the controls. The Tri-State Area plummeted to the ground.
One of the propeller towers tipped over.
The kids were enjoying their candy apples when a sudden gust of wind blew all the leaves away.
As if on cue, Linda came in and saw a completely normal backyard.
"So it seems you already have snacks," she remarked. "Well, I'll be inside if you need anything. Nice gourd helmets by the way."
Monty finished tying up Rodrigo.
"You got it from here, Agent P," he said.
Perry tied up Doof, then gave Monty a thumbs-up.
"But Vanessa, I thought you liked bad boys," Rodrigo told Vanessa.
"Meh, I'm over it," Vanessa replied. "I think it's time I tried…"
She paused when she saw Monty preparing to leave. He turned towards Vanessa, grinned at her, then flew off.
"A good guy," Vanessa finished, blushing.
Perry saw how Vanessa smiled watching Monty fly away. He put two and two together, and he gasped.
The kids got ready to head home for the night.
"Today was fun," Django admitted, before turning to Ferb specifically. "See you later."
All Ferb could do was watch as Django left the backyard. He smiled and felt all warm inside.
Exactly how he felt around Vanessa.
Ferb went into his pocket and took out a picture of Vanessa.
It felt rough that Ferb was already gaining feelings for someone else, but in the end, Phineas was right. He had to move on.
Ferb tore up the image and threw it away.
