Chapter 1: Book of Ideas

Outside on a clear day, Candace was in the middle of arguing with herself about whether or not she should bust her brothers. The boys were moving small boxes from the lawn into the family's garage as parts were being sorted between what will be donated and what will be kept. The problem, however, was that the two boys had created a machine to move the bigger, heavier boxes in order to have the job accomplished faster.

"If I bring Mom back here to bust the boys then Mom will finally see what they have been doing! But if I do call Mom then the machine will magically disappear and I'll look like a fool again! But this machine is making the work go by faster and I won't have to worry about cleaning up all those boxes." Candace was moving her hands to match what she was saying as she was trying to figure out what to do about the situation.

Ferb sat down in a seat, controlling where the machine went and which cargo to pick up. Phineas walked over to his sister and assured with his large smile, "Don't worry sis, we'll get this done soon and then you'll be able to go with Jeremy to his photography class."

The young boy drew his attention back to work that needed to be done while their parents had gone to Charitable Charities to donate anything not desired to be kept.

"Ah, Jeremy," the young teen sighed as she stared out into the sky as the sun began to give off rays of beautiful mixture of orange and red while melting into the horizon.

Agent P. was trying to avoid a huge mess on the ground while running from Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

"I've got you now, Perry the Platypus!" the mad scientist yelled with joy as he chased his nemesis throughout his blimp while carrying and swinging a spatula.

The platypus was able to dodge all the attacks the evil doctor had dealt, but it was difficult to sprint as the entire place was covered with old books, computer wires, remote controls, and old kitchen supplies.

"You can't run from me-" Dr. Doofenshmirtz had tripped over a plastic lawn flamingo and became tied up in computer wires.

The secret agent stopped running and noticed the doctor was no longer chasing him. Perry looked around and saw there was just too much stuff within the blimp. He then walked closer to his nemesis, placed one hand on his hip, and used the other hand to point out the mess.

"Look, I know what you're saying but I don't have the extra room to place all of my stuff anymore," the doctor informed. Perry picked up an old, broken camera that obviously did not work. Dr. Doofenshmirtz grew a scowl on his faced and answered, "Hey! That has sentimental value!"

The platypus lowered his eyes and picked up an old, torn up, brown backpack.

"Oh, maybe that had sentimental value and the other was junk," the doctor mumbled confused. Perry shook his head as he dropped the old bag and started to head out for the door.

"Hey! Wait! Where are you going?" Dr. Doofenshmirtz demanded to know. Perry pointed to the mess and continue to walk towards the door while getting his parachute ready.

"But I'm not really defeated! I still have my huge machine, that is unknown to the readers, not destroyed yet." The evil scientist tried to wiggle his way out of the grasp of the wire but instead fell to floor. The mammal just shook his head as he knew the doctor could not operate his invention while still tied up.

"So what you're saying is that until I find a place for all of my stuff, you're not going to fight me?" Doofenshmirtz questioned.

The semi-aquatic mammal nodded his head, open the door, and flew out into the open sky. As he did, the man tried not get blown out of is blimp like some of his stuff was.

"Curse you, Perry the Platypus!"

Phineas and Ferb were in the garage and had finished putting away more stuff into several boxes. The giant machine that had picked up boxes with its two mechanical arms was still outside. Candace was inside her room putting on a clean outfit to prepare for her time with Jeremy. As she glanced out her window, she noticed the boys' invention had not disappeared.

Immediately, she pulled out her cell phone, "MOM! You gotta come home quick!"

"I can't right now, Candace," answered her mother, "Your Dad and I had just finish dropping off the stuff and now we're at the grocery store getting supplies for Taco Night."

"But, Mom!" Candace whined, "You have to see what the boys are doing!"

"As long as you all are done putting the boxes away and the boys aren't eating a meal already, let them be." The mother then hung up her phone as she waited in line to pay for the food.

Candace sighed in defeat and went to place on her shoes.

Meanwhile, Perry had landed in the backyard along with a pile of junk from what had fallen out of Doofenshmirtz's balloon. An old, torn up, brown book had hit a button on the machine and the invention began to fold itself back into a compact size.

"Now that's what I call convenient," noted Ferb as he placed the small object back in his pocket.

"Yeah, that was good idea." agreed Phineas, "We should add that to our other huge inventions so that they don't keep magically vanishing away."

The two boys heard the platypus greet them with his normal chattering sound.

"Oh, there you Perry," the boy with red hair said with a smile. He then noticed more stuff needed to be place back into the garage.

"That's strange," he thought out loud, "I thought we packed everything inside."

The two boys knelt down and began to gather up what was mostly consisted of timeworn books. The two then heard a car pull up into the driveway. Linda and Lawrence entered the backyard to see if everything was put away.

"I see you two are almost done," remarked Linda to her sons.

"Well, we're not entirely sure where these books came from." Phineas answered innocently.

"Ah, yes, to see what books were made where and when. Quite an adventure that takes up time," laughed Lawrence.

"Well, we can find out tomorrow as we decide what to do with them." Linda said , "Just put them back into the garage and lets go inside for Taco Night."

"All right!" Phineas exclaimed.

The two boys picked up and carried the books back into the garage and placed them on top of a box. As a few pages had fallen out, one book had particularly caught the red headed boy's attention. On them were rough sketches of vast ideas that could be build with every day items. Phineas decided to grab the book altogether and headed into the kitchen with his stepbrother and pet.

The doorbell rang and Lawrence went to go answer it. Jeremy was waiting at the door with a bag full of his camera supplies.

"Good evening, Mr. Fletcher." Jeremy greeted, "Is Candace ready to go?"

Before Lawrence could answer the young female teen had come between and greeted the other male teen, "Jeremy! Yes, let's go!"

"Isn't it a little late for a photography class," Lawrence questioned.

"No, not it's not." answered Candace impatiently.

"My class is working with different lenses and flashes with night objects. We should be done by nine o'clock," explained the young adolescent with blonde hair.

"Well, ok, have fun now." Lawrence then closed the door behind him.

After enjoying a day filled with exploring the past and a dinner full of crunchy taco shells, the boys were ready to sleep.

Phineas was already in bed but had his lamp on and was reading the book he found earlier. After finishing his shower, Ferb entered their bedroom with Perry coming in as well. The platypus made his way onto Phineas's boat-bed, made himself comfortable, and began to relax.

He was happy that for two young boys, they managed to keep their room clean. He didn't have to worry about tripping over old supplies or clothes. Ferb hopped onto his bed and was ready to sleep when he noticed his stepbrother still had his light on. This time, Ferb had tossed his pillow towards the other boy to get his attention.

"Oh, sorry Ferb." Phineas said as he turned off his lamp. Several minutes had passed when Ferb and Perry had fallen asleep. Phineas, on the other hand, could not rest.

He had a strong desire to continue on and skim through the pages within the manuscript. Not wanting to wake up his pet, the young boy went and carefully moved his hands closer to a sideboard and pulled out a flashlight. The light was dim as the batteries hadn't been replaced in awhile.

The boy began to get back into his study of the print with bliss.

Candace came home a little bit after nine p.m. after spending an evening with Jeremy, she was in a very good mood.

"Well, someone sure looks happy," noted Lawrence as he and his wife were sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Are you hungry?" Linda asked.

"No," the red headed teen answered with delight as she went to her room to go and blog about her day. She went upstairs and was about to head for her room when she saw a small light coming from her brothers' door. Curiously, she open the entrance quietly and saw Ferb and Perry were asleep but Phineas was still up and reading.

Not wanting to wake up her stepbrother, the young teen walked in and quietly, but sternly asked, "What are you up to? It's almost 9:30 and you're usually asleep and NOT causing mayhem."

"Oh, sorry, sis," replied Phineas in a quiet tone, "I just couldn't put this book down!"

"Well it's lights out now before I bust you for this!" the teen ordered vigorously. Just then, her cell phone went off. She went out the door as she and told her best friend Stacy how her evening went.

The flashlight began to go out so Phineas did what he was told. He had finally closed his book and turned off his flashlight.

"Sorry, guys," the boy apologized as he could feel glares from his stepbrother and pet. Perry placed his head back onto the futon and closed his eyes. The boy with green hair just shook his head and reposition himself as he tried to go back to sleep.

Phineas looked at the clock and declared, "Ferb, even though it's 9:25 at night, I know what we're doing tomorrow!"

The young boy then placed his head on his pillow and drift off into bliss as he was excited for the adventures of the next day.

Somewhere in Danville

"Where is it?" asked a tall man who went through several boxes after he had just finished cleaning up a huge mess.

"Where did I place it?" He began to push unwanted items out of his way as he looked for something specific.

"Out of all of my junk, I mean important stuff, that had the most sentimental value!"

The tall man with a German accident then thought back and shuddered, "I hope it wasn't one of those items that fell out when Perry the Platypus left."

To be continue…

Chao- What's gonna happen next?
