Flying Fishmonger the same as usual, skipping over it, you know the drill.

Candace was sitting on her bed, practicing talking to Jeremy by using a banana instead of a phone… for some reason. Then her mother came in and said something about going to book club and then made fun of her for talking to a banana. After practicing for a few more minutes, Candace had built up enough courage to actually call Jeremy, for realsies this time!

Walking down into the kitchen to grab a quick drink so that she would sound refreshed rather than parched over the phone, Candace saw Phineas, Ferb and Isabella in the backyard. Opening the door partway to stick her head through it. Candace cleared her throat to get their attention.

"Oh, hey, Candace." Phineas said turning to face her.

"Listen, I'm going to make an important phone call… on the phone not the banana, and I need you to be quiet for a bit, please?" Candace asked, immediately regretting mentioning a banana.

"Uh… sure, sis. We haven't gotten started yet so you should have a little time…" Phineas said. After Candace closed the door he spoke again. "You guys heard that part about a banana, right? It wasn't just me?"

"Alright, just breathe and relax." Candace said to herself before pulling out her phone and dialing Jeremy's number. After a few rings, the phone went to voicemail, much to Candace's disappointment. Trying again, the phone rang a few times, again, and then went to voicemail, again. Sighing in disappointment, Candace trudged her way up to her bedroom and flopped onto the bed.

After several minutes of wallowing in self-pity while an assortment of noises you would hear at a construction yard went off outside, Candace decided to try calling Jeremy again. As the phone rang, Candace saw… something out of the corner of her eye. Turning to where she saw the thing move, Jeremy answered his phone… Right as Candace came face-to-face with a snake!

Screaming, Candace dropped her phone and sprinted out of her room, out of the house and into the backyard. Panting hard from running so far so quickly, Candace almost didn't see Phineas approaching her.

"Hey, Candace, just thought I should let you know, we lost a few snakes in the house." Phineas said before cocking his head to side. "Why do you look like you just saw a ghost while in the middle of running a marathon?"

"Why…" Candace said taking in a deep breath. "Do you…" Candace took another breath. "Think?"

Phineas blinked at her a few times before realization dawned on him. "Oh! It was a spider, wasn't it?"

Candace gave him a deadpanned look before looking behind him and seeing a ginormous house that stretched all the way to the clouds. Not only that, but the clouds surrounding the house were all dark and stormy. There were even a few bats flying around at the top.

"What in the world…?" Candace asked, finally having regained her breath.

"Oh, that's just a haunted house Ferb and I built to scare the hiccups out of Isabella." Phineas explained turning to look at his creation.

"You… built an entire haunted house… because Isabella… has the hiccups?" Candace asked slowly.

"Yep." Phineas answered. "You shouldn't sound so surprised, you helped us build a machine to make a giant ice cream sundae for her like 2 weeks ago."

"Well, yeah but that was ice cream, Phineas. This is a building." Candace said staring at the building.

"I don't see your point." Phineas replied before Ferb whistled at him from inside. "Oh, Isabella's on her way. I gotta get ready."

"Right, well what am I supposed to do? There's a snake in my room!" Candace asked as Phineas put on a lab coat, black pants and a funny wig.

"I thought it was a spider?" Phineas asked opening a small box and pulling out a folded-up costume.

"No, it wasn't a spider." Candace answered as Phineas unfolded the costume to reveal a giant… monster… thing.

"Well if it was one of our snakes, don't worry. They're just garden snakes. Completely harmless." Phineas explained stepping inside the costume.

"Well, good luck with… whatever that is." Candace said before entering the house right as she heard the wooden gate creaking open. Plopping down on the couch in the living room, Candace pulled out her phone to tell Stacy about how she failed at talking to Jeremy. Except her phone wasn't there. Patting down all the pockets in her skirt she realized that she must have dropped it in her room.

"Gosh diddly darnit." Candace said, slowly making her way up the staircase. Arriving at her bedroom, she gulped before slipping inside the still-open doorway. Creeping her way towards her bed Candace saw her phone lying on it. "So far so good." Candace said to herself as she got closer to the bed.

Quickly snatching the phone off her bed, Candace quickly looked all around her and saw no sign of the snake. Shrugging, Candace exited her room quickly and closed the door. Walking back downstairs she flopped onto the couch. Looking at her phone she saw she had several missed calls from Jeremy!

Screaming in delight Candace rolled around and giggled to herself for several minutes before realizing what he must've heard when she dropped her phone. Just before she started to dial Jeremy's number she heard someone screaming from the backyard. Not the good kind of the scream, the 'I'm going to die!' scream. Rushing outside she saw Phineas falling out of the sky!

"Quick, everyone! Sashes!" Isabella shouted, bringing Candace's view from the sky to the ground where all the Fireside girls are connecting their sashes to make a trampoline. Luckily it works! Phineas landed on the trampoline and bounced upward, before Isabella caught him in her arms.

"Now that… was scary." Isabella said to the boy in her arms. "Hey, my hiccups are gone!"

Phineas opened his mouth to say something but someone burst through the wooden gate, making everyone turn to look at them.

"Oh, Candace! There you are!" Jeremy said with relief. "After that last phone call, I didn't know what to expect."

"Oh…" Candace started to say giggling nervously. "Well there was this snake… and I kind of…"

"As long as you're alright it's fine. Let's get you inside, you can tell me all about it." Jeremy said leading her inside of the house.

As the Fireside Girls, Buford and Baljeet left the backyard, Linda entered the backyard and saw Isabella holding Phineas, meanwhile Ferb was nowhere to be found. "Hello, boys I- oh! Am I interrupting something?"

"Not at all." Phineas said climbing out of Isabella's arms, much to her disappointment.

"Well, I'm back from my book club. Jeremy convinced me to leave early to drive him over." Linda said, walking towards the house. "Well don't let me stop you." And with that, she entered the house.

"What did she mean by that?" Phineas asked confused, turning to Isabella who was blushing slightly.

"Oh, you know how moms are." Isabella answered, giggling nervously, only confusing Phineas more.

Phineas opened his mouth to say something but a loud crash interrupted him, turning, they saw that the haunted house had returned to their backyard. After a few seconds of silence, Phineas opened his mouth once more but was cut off as the haunted house started to disappear, floor by floor. After it was gone, Phineas opened his mouth a third time, confident he would be able to speak.

"Have either of you seen my satchel?" Baljeet asked, opening the wooden gate to the backyard.

Phineas pointed to the corner of the yard where Baljeet's satchel was sitting. Giving up, Phineas simply entered his house, followed by Isabella.

Here's the second 30-minute/2-part episode/chapter I've written. ONTO THE REVIEWS!

First of all, thanks to gamelover41592, asperman1 and HankryZone1313 for their kind words on the last chapter. :)

Second of all, I, too, enjoy seeing Candace as a more caring person, Hankry. I still enjoy the 'real' version of her from the show, though. Not to say she doesn't care at all, it's obvious she cares for their safety and such… but I think you get what I mean.

Oh, and on that note, a little epilogue…

Later that day, after Jeremy was told of the events leading up to Candace's sudden phone call interruption and had a good laugh about it and it went home, Candace approached Phineas. She had cornered him in the living room after everyone else had left to do various things around the house.

"Phineas…" Candace started to say.

"Yes, Candace?" Phineas asked, before Candace pulled him into a hug.

"Don't scare me like that!" Candace said as Phineas returned the hug.

"Well, it's not like I did it on purpose." Phineas said as they broke away from each other.

"I know, I know. Just try to be more careful?"

"Of course, but you know, not even the most careful person in the world can prepare for a building to be lifted off the ground by some mysterious force."

Candace laughed lightly. "I guess that's true, but I have one more question for you."

"What is it, sis?"

"Why in the world was Buford dressed up like Jeremy's little sister?"
