Chapter 1

Setting: the Ferb-Fletcher household

Everything was peaceful within the house of the Flynn-Fletcher family on a hot and humid summer day. However, suddenly, the peace of the household in Danville was interrupted with a piercing shrieking yell.

Within the house, the 15-year old redhead that was very well-known for attempting to bust her brothers, Candace Gertrude Flynn, slammed on her bedroom door, flew face-first into her bed, and began to cry very hard in her pillow. She held her Ducky Momo doll tight.

Candace looked up and saw the doll and looked at it in its dotted black eyes and felt the soft yellow fabric on it.

She shed a tear and wiped it away with her finger and sighed, "Oh Ducky Momo, only you can understand what I am going through…"

(Fifteen minutes earlier)

Candace was on her pink phone with her main best friend, Stacy Hirano, to celebrate a monumental occasion.

"Guess what, Stacey! Jeremy's now on the football team!" Candace exclaimed with the news heard today. She then screamed her excited "AAAAHHHH" through the phone on the receiving end to Stacy.

Stacy was on the other end on her cell phone, typing on her PC. "Well, you are right, Candace! Jeremy's right there on the Middleton football roster!"

"Yep, so what can I do to impress him? I mean, there's, like, 12 weeks in a regular season of football, right, Stacy?" Candace replied back to her, thinking.

"Well," Stacy explained, "there's this unwritten tradition over at Middleton High in which only cheerleaders date the athletes on the Mad Dog teams. I think it's some sort of a Food Chain thing going on at the school.

"Hmmm….cheerleaders getting the best athletes as boyfriends…." Candace thought to herself as an idea began to generate within her head.

She exclaimed with a famous Eureka moment, "Stacy, I got it! I'll try out to become a Middleton Mad Dog Cheerleader! I'll wave my pom-poms in the air and Jeremy will totally be mine alone!"

"Well, good luck, Candace, on that endeavor!" Stacy beamed, "And let's go to the mall together tonight!"

"Okay, and thanks, Stacy, I'll see you then!" Candace grinned as she put away the phone and headed downstairs.

She then walked up to her mom, Linda Flynn-Fletcher, all smiles. Linda, meanwhile, was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen.

"Hey, Mom, guess who made the Middleton Mad Dog football team this year as a linebacker?" Candace smiled with a grin on her face.

"Lemme guess, is it Jeremy Johnson?" Linda replied while spraying on some cleaner for the dishes.

"Yes, yes it is true, Mom!" the elder Flynn-Fletcher daughter squealed with joy. Linda then smiled at Candace and went to the fridge to get herself a glass of orange juice.

"Oh, and, Mom….." Candace added once more, "I would like to cheer on for my Jeremy whenever he makes a touchdown or a big game-winning tackle, and the Mad Dog team in general through this!"

Candace then pulled out a brochure saying "MIDDLETON CHEERLEADING" right on the front of it and gave it to Linda to take a look at.

Linda took a sip of her orange juice and looked at the pamphlet and a photo of a couple of the Middleton Mad Dog Cheerleaders walking up to an opponent's stadium from a black super-stretch limousine. They also had, literally, the red carpet rolled out in front of them about two hours prior to kickoff. There was Tara wearing a fancy long red dress and in gold jewelry, waving to fans of the Mad Dogs and there was Crystal wearing designer jeans from Country CB and a golden top with diamond earrings right behind her.

"Wow! My daughter…a Mad Dog Cheerleader… cheering on for the team, and I would be there to record every single moment of it!" Linda beamed with a sad smile at the moment, realizing that her daughter was fast growing up.

"So, this means I can be on the Mad Dog cheer squad?" Candace eagerly asked her mom once more.

However, the answer she received from her mom took her completely by surprise.

Linda's grin faded away from her as she stared outside the kitchen window "Mmm….I don't know, Candace, I mean, there is some negativity with being a Mad Dog cheerleader….."

"But Mom, it's one of the few ways I can help support the team and marvel at Jeremy's strength as he takes a down a running back….." Candace complained at this turn of events. "And why is there this negativity with being a cheerleader? I mean are the skirts too short or…"

"No, Candace, it's Veruca Salt! You know, that evil, extremely rich, good-for-nothing captain of the squad that always seems to make the papers for all the wrong reasons!" Linda explained with a little bit of anger in her voice.

She then took out the Danville newspaper that covered the incident of the party held at her house around a month ago and showed it to her daughter.

"So, what if some crazed cheerleading captain comes in and interrupts the cheer tryouts that's gonna come up in early August. No problem for me, Mom!" Candace snickered, thinking that handing Veruca would be no problem.

But she could see the worried look on her mom's face and it showed that she was not kidding at all.

"Candace, Veruca has millions of dollars at her disposal and she has the mental stability of…well… you when you try and bust Phineas and Ferb for some non-existent invention in the backyard, maybe even worse than that!" Linda continued to rant, utilizing some of the examples of Candace's busting attempts on her parents, "And then, of course, there are her morals, or lack thereof! I even read on the paper that she forces her parents to chew on dog biscuits on national TV!"

Linda paused momentarily and sighed sadly, "But the worst part of it all, Candace, is that Veruca….Veruca….I just don't know how to put it that way in front of you!" Then she added with a sterner look then before, "You promise not to tell this to anyone else, Candace Gertrude Flynn, not even to Jeremy, Stacey, or Jenny?"

Candace, even though she was taken aback by the horrors that her mom had described about the nefarious cheerleader, nodded her head in agreement to the oath.

All Linda could do was to shake her head as the both of them sat down on seats of the dining room table "Candace, Veruca is notorious for her sexual escapades, especially with her having sex with star football players on the team!"

This perked the ears of Candace, whom reacted with horror and dread. "Oh no….this means…Jeremy!"

"And worse," Mrs. Flynn-Fletcher continued, seeing the shocked look of her daughter with a grim look on her face, "she gets them drunk first and after she does the…nasty thing….., the police arrive to arrest the football player instead of her! In fact, there was an incident not more than four months ago…."

She then got up and went to the computer, pulling up the article from the Internet so that Candace could catch a glimpse.

When Candace leaned over her mom's shoulder, she gasped in shock at the bold print of the title. It said "Cheerleader gets Football Player drunk and arrested"

The dreadfulness of the news finally seeped into poor Candace and she screamed with a piercing cry so loud that the entire city of Danville can hear, "Nooooooooooo…my Jeremy!"

She rushed up to her room, crying for her Jeremy that he might fall into the wrong hands of another cheerleader, especially a crazed one.

AN: For the MD&T series, I put Danville right to the east of Middleton so that it can be within the school district, henceforth the reason why Candace, Stacy, and Jeremy are attending Middleton High.
