fardell24Part 8: Resolving the First Day
Phineas and Ferb completed lashing the seat back to the roof just before the vehicle landed. The landing sent a judder through the vehicle and new cracks appeared in the stonework, causing the passenger compartment to be filled with dust.
Everyone emerged coughing. “I think we need to drag it back,” Daria suggested.
“I don’t think so. We can still repair it,” Phineas said.
“After all, we still have most of the afternoon,” Isabella said.
Daria looked at the vehicle. “You have bottled water?” she asked.
Ferb gave her a thumbs up.
“You’re thinking we can use the water and dust to seal the cracks, aren’t you?” Phineas asked.
“Yes, but it’ll be a quick fix at best,” Daria replied.
“Of course,” Phineas said.
“I would add some plaster for security but that’s just me,” Jane put in.
“We do have some plaster in our medical kits,” Adyson Sweetwater, one of the Fireside Girls, said.
“That would work,” Jane said.
“Let’s do it,” Phineas said.
After another fifteen minutes, they had sealed most of the cracks with plaster. “But we have to wait a while for it to set,” Jane said.
“That’s obvious, but how long?” Isabella asked.
“Ideally, for another three days, but another forty minutes should do it,” Jane replied.
“That’s a while,” Phineas said.
“The sun is still high in the sky,” Ferb said.
“That’s true, Ferb,” Phineas said.
“I guess you’ve worked with plaster before?” Daria asked Jane.
“Of course.”
After another thirty five minutes, they were on the move again. “We should take it slowly, Trent. I’m not sure it can hold up to fast speeds,” Phineas suggested.
“I agree,” Trent said. He looked at the speedometer, 25 miles per hour. He wasn’t going any faster, despite the traffic piling up behind. He also saw Ferb at work on the wing mechanisms but he wasn’t sure that it was necessary to fly again.
They made it all the way to the Flynn-Fletchers neighbourhood without any further difficulties. But as they turned onto Maple Drive there was yet another shudder. “What was that?” Isabella asked. Some of the plaster came loose and new cracks appeared.
“I thought, like, that this vehicle wasn’t roadworthy,” Sandi said.
“You said that earlier!” Baljeet said.
“It may not last much longer!” Sandi rebutted.
“Relax, Sandi, we’re almost at the Flynn-Fletchers,” Jane said.
“That doesn’t, like, inspire me with confidence, Daria’s sister’s art friend,” Sandi said.
“So, you know that Quinn is Daria’s sister,” Jane whispered with a smirk.
“Of course,” Sandi said with a devious smirk. They were then thrown from their seats as Trent hit a pot-hole.
“Oops,” he said. But more cracks appeared. “We’re almost there.” Further cracking occurred.
“Uh oh!” Phineas said.
“It’s going to fall apart!” Ferb said as he emerged from the left wing mechanisms.
“Oh no!” Stacy R. said, hyperventilating yet again.
“Pulling over!” Trent said. He pulled over to the right, just short of the Flynn-Fletcher’s neighbour’s yard.
“Bail out!” Sandi told her brothers and Stacy R. She then leapt out the door. She was quickly followed by most of the group, including Candace, Isabella, Phineas, Jane, Daria and Stacy H.
The vehicle collapsed into a heap of rocks and pieces of wood on the roadside. The Fireside Girls, Buford, Baljeet and Trent emerged from the wreck mostly unscathed. Then there was another shifting of the rocks and Ferb emerged, holding Perry, followed by the squirrels and the remaining birds.
“That was close,” Phineas said.
“Very close,” Daria agreed.
“No No NOOO!” Candace said, looking at the wreck.
“Relax, Candace,” Jane said.
“There’s still tomorrow,” Daria said, remembering the deal they had made that morning.
“True,” Candace said.
“Anyone up for afternoon tea?” Phineas asked.
“Sure,” Daria said.
“I guess so. I should also thank you for the rescue,” Sandi said.
“You’re welcome,” Phineas said.
The group entered the Flynn-Fletcher’s kitchen. “Look at that, the stone building is gone,” Jane said.
Candace looked out into the yard. “Wait a minute, the building is still there, just in one of the yards behind! Mom! Mom!”
“What is it Candace?” Linda asked as she entered the kitchen.
“Look at that!”
Linda looked at the stone building.“Oh that strange statue? It’s not in our yard.”
“No, Mom, Phineas and Ferb built it!” Candace said.
“It’s impossible,” Linda said with a shake of her head.
Candace sighed.
After an afternoon snack, Daria, Jane, Trent, Stacy R. and the Griffins went out to Trent’s car to prepare to return to Lawndale. Sandi looked at Trent’s car. “How are we, like, going to all fit in that… car?”
“It’s been done before, and this time there’s no drum kit,” Jane replied.
“I don’t want to know,” Daria murmured.
“There’s enough room,” Phineas said.
Stacy looked at the car. “But not enough seatbelts!”
“That shouldn’t be a problem at this time of day,” Phineas conjectured. Ferb gave him a look. “If you leave soon that is,” he continued.
“Let’s do it,” Jane said to Trent.
Stacy, Sandi, Sam and Chris sat in the back seat, with Sandi sitting between her brothers to ensure that they wouldn’t fight whilst Trent was driving. Daria and Jane sat in the front passenger seat, with Daria between the two Lanes.
Lawndale
“I’ll drop you guys off first,” Trent said to Sandi and Stacy after the car reentered the town.
“Sure, you’ll drop us off, like, at Stacy’s house,” Sandi said.
“The address?” Trent asked.
“324 Eichler Street,” Stacy answered.
“Got it,” Trent said.
After Trent had driven off, Sandi turned to her brothers and Stacy. “Thank you for the rescue,” she said.
“That’s what family is for,” Sam said.
“You’re welcome. Now I’ll go inside and tell Quinn that you’re safe!” Stacy said.
“Go ahead. I’ll call when I get home,” Sandi said after some thought. She turned to her brothers. “Let’s go.”
Trent let Daria and Jane off at the Morgendorffer’s house. “See you later,” Jane said to Trent.
“Spiral has a gig at the Zon tonight, Daria. You’re welcome to come,” Trent suggested.
“Maybe,” Daria said with a shrug.
“That would be cool,” Jane said, nudging her friend.
