I drew a picture of one of the scenes from this story and that gave me the idea to write this. I know, it's kind of weird how that worked out. Also, I was very disappointed that Phineas and Ferb didn't win the Kids' Choice Awards. Oh well.

Chapter 1

Candace stood in her room with her best friend, Stacy.

"Now, the reason why I called you over here is to show you something I've been working on for years," Candace explained.

"Okay then. Let's see it," Stacy said. Candace got down on the floor and pulled out a book from under her bed. It was an enormous book. It was so enormous that when she placed it in Stacy's hands, Stacy literally fell forward from the weight of the book.

Stacy grunted, "Oof! What is this!?"

Candace replied cheerfully, "It's a scrapbook I made of all the good times I've had with Jeremy! I started it when I was, like, ten. Here, let me show you!" Candace sat on the bed next to Stacy and opened up the front cover, she pointed to a picture.

"See? There's Jeremy's class picture from the year we first met! And there's the note he passed to me during class to ask if I had an extra pencil he could borrow. And that's the extra pencil that I loaned him. The very one he touched. And there's the pack of bubblegum that I took a stick out of to give to him."

"Oh boy," Stacy muttered while rolling her eyes. She then said, "Why is it so warm in here?"

Just then, Ms. Flynn walked past the room and answered, "It's because the air conditioner is broken. Candace's dad is trying to fix it right now. He needs some new parts, so I'm going out to get them. Be good!"

"Well, that's not good. Isn't there supposed to be a huge heat wave today?" Candace asked.

Sure enough, about half an hour later, everyone was sweating like crazy. Outside, Phineas and Ferb lay under a tree holding Popsicle sticks, trying to stay in the shade. This unfortunately wasn't working too well.

They both had their tongues hanging out. Ferb turned on a miniature, battery-operated fan towards the two, but it didn't make a difference.

"Why does it have to be so hot?" Phineas moaned.

Candace, with her scrapbook in her arms, and Stacy came outside.

"Aw man," Stacy complained, "It's no cooler out here than it is inside."

Candace looked at her brothers and questioned, "What's with the Popsicle sticks?"

Phineas answered miserably, "We were going to eat Popsicles, but they melted before we could even get a lick."

Just then, a cool breeze rolled by. Everyone smiled in relief from the heat.

"Awww…" they all said in unison. The breeze blew away quickly though, and they all frowned again.

Phineas said "Don't you just love those nice, summer breezes? They'd be even better if they were bigger. What we need is a giant fan for a big gust of wind. That would feel great!"

It took a few seconds for it to register because of the heat until Phineas said, "That's it! Ferb! I know what we're going to do today! We're going to create a wind machine. Come on. Huh, I wonder where Perry is."

Perry the Platypus arrived at his lair. He panted and began fanning himself with his fedora. Major Monogram greeted him and said, "Good morning, Agent P. We've recently discovered that Doofenshmirtz has created a giant labyrinth in the middle of town. You know, like a giant hedge maze. Get to the bottom of it." Perry saluted and headed off.

Doofenshmirtz in the Middle of Town…

Dr. Doofenshmirtz sprayed some fertilizer on the enormous hedge in front of him. His daughter, Vanessa asked him, "Tell me again why I have to be out here in the heat with you?"

"Because I've been kind of down in the dumps lately since my evil plans are always destroyed. I need the extra support. You know. A little cheering on?" Dr. D answered.

Perry arrived in front of them.

"Ah, Perry the Platypus! How unexpected. And by unexpected of course I mean, completely expected!"

There was a small pause. Perry looked around expecting some sort of trap to spring out at him. Doofenshmirtz cleared his throat and repeated, "Completely expected!" There was another pause when Dr. D whispered to Vanessa, "That's your cue. You're supposed to trap him now."

"Huh? Oh yeah." Vanessa walked over to the platypus and handed him the end of a vine-like rope.

"Here, hold this," she said with a bored tone. Perry held it and stood there while Vanessa tied him up with hardly any effort at all. She finished with a nice bow and Doofenshmirtz praised, "Wow. Nice work. And for that, I will reward you with some more rope! See? Rope is good so when you have your own nemesis, you'll always be prepared."

"Oh great," Vanessa mumbled taking the rope from him and tucking it away.

Dr. D continued, "So. The reason for this giant labyrinth is so I can trap people I hate inside. There is a way out, but it's nearly impossible to ever escape! You can be trapped forever! And the best part is, I have an excellent view from the balcony of my apartment to watch them as they suffer. It's like a never-ending maze. It's like one of those mazes you find in puzzle books or on the back of children's menus at a restaurant only you can't just draw your pen right through the wall and cheat, making your own path. Also, I've planted some weird creatures inside that people may come across and will chase them."

Doofenshmirtz placed a sign outside the entrance of the maze. Vanessa read it aloud in a questioning way, "Enter here for the tim of your life?"

Dr. D looked at the sign blankly for a moment then said, "Oh good gravy! I guess I forgot to put an E on the end of time." He sighed, "Guess I have to go get some paint. I'll be right back. You two stay here. Oh, and Vanessa. Here's a letter for you. I didn't want you to read it until after I told my evil scheme. It's from some guy named Johnny."

Vanessa's eyes lit up and she grabbed the note from her dad.
