The FTS Ad. w/PnF: Ep. 10: The Magnificent Few

Out on the open desert plains, under the twilight sky, a group of cowboys were escorting a large herd of cattle across the open range.  An arduous journey, this might be, but the cowboys were content with their duties, enjoying the long walk on the open trail.  One cowboy played his guitar as he rode his horse.

Cowboy: On the trail
Always ridin’ and a-ropin’
On the trail
Where them doggies are a-lopin’
On the trail

Cows: On the trail

Cowboy: Nothin’ worse than bees a-stingin’
‘Cept this cowboy song we’re singin’
On the trail

Cows: On the trail

Cowboy: Sunset’s lookin’ awful groovy
On the trail

Cows: On the trail

Cowboy: ‘Cause they colorized this movie
On the trail

Cows: On the trail

Cowboy: On the trail

Cows: On the trail

Cowboy: On the trail

Cows: On the trail

The whole thing about the cowboys travelling across the open range was actually part of a movie finale that Phineas was watching on his portable video player.  He was also watching it in a very fitting place: a western-style carnival where he and Ferb were riding a very slow and very tame horse ride called “Ride Em Cowboys.”  Nearby, Linda sat in her car, watching the boys ride.  “Smile boys,” she said before taking a photo of the two boys on the horses, “oh, you two look so cute.”

“She means well,” commented a calm Phineas.

“I’ll be back in a few hours,” said Linda before driving off, “have fun.”

Linda drove off, leaving Phineas and Ferb to themselves.  However, Candace was there too and was not pleased with watching over her brothers again.  “Yeah right,” she muttered before approaching the ride and demanding, “you better not pull any of your weird stunts.  GOT IT?”

“Don’t fret none, school marm,” said a still calm Phineas in a western style voice.

Candace glared at Phineas, still suspicious, before taking out her phone and having a conversation with someone.  “So he was like totally checking me out when little Miss Pants walks in front of me.  Yeah, yeah!  So I was like, ‘uh hello,’ and so she was like ‘oh no, you didn’t,’ and I was like ‘oh yes I did…’”

The FT Squad was also there and glared at Candace disapprovingly.  “Can you believe her,” complained Timon before mimicking Candace’s words, “‘you better not pull any of your weird stunts, got it?’  And then she goes all gaga on her phone, doing what she wants to do.  What an idiot.”

“And she acted rough when all Phineas and Ferb were doing was simply riding those horses,” added Pumbaa.

“Forget about her guys,” said Kyle, also not liking Candace’s behavior, “if something comes up with Phineas and Ferb, we can supervise it.  Linda won’t mind at all.”

“Mighty sorry, buckaroos,” said the man supervising the horse ride, “time to rein in those ponies.”

Phineas and Ferb were let off the ride, where they met up with the squad.  As they did, Isabella and Larman appeared.  While Isabella smiled upon seeing her friends, Larman was covered in chicken feathers.  “Hey Isabella, hey Larman,” said Phineas, “what’re you doing here?”

“We both came by and earned some new patches,” said Isabella, “tell ‘em what you got Larman.”

“It looks like you’ve been through something with chickens,” said Rudy, taking notice of the feathers around Larman’s body, “look at you, all covered in feathers.”

“Well…yeah,” said Larman, scared of being made fun of, “I got my Chicken Feeding patch, and it was easy…though it got really messy toward the end.”

“Don’t worry Larman,” comforted Kaytlin, “a good wash in the shower will clean it all up.”

“What about you Isabella,” asked Kyle, “what patch did you get?”

“I just earned my Milking patch, and it was so easy.  All you do is squeeze and pull and squeeze and pull and squeeze and pull and squeeze and pull and,” said Isabella before asking, “so, whatcha doin’?”

“We’re ridin’ ponies,” said Phineas, still acting western-like, “but it makes a feller hanker for the real thing.  Ya know, bein’ out on the open range, ridin’, ropin’, brandin’.  Bustin’ broncos and breakin’ wind with your amigos under the western skies.”

Isabella stared at Phineas, in awe of his speech.  “Heck, we could even afford a stream.  I don’t know what that means but it sounds fun,” said Phineas before he and Ferb spat in the grass, “oh, and spittin’.”

“The cowboy-like atmosphere really has gotten to these guys, hasn’t it,” said Dennis.

“It has.  From the rides, to the ponies, to the movie Phineas was watching,” said Kyle before turning to another part of the carnival, “and a certain excited someone.”

Elsewhere, a black horse ran through a field, like it was charging at something.  The person riding this horse was none other than Cassidy.  This event was very exciting for her, for it reminded her of her training days at Saguaro Corner when it came to horseback riding.  Her horse jumped over a hurdle, which impressed a nearby crowd of kids.  They cheered for Cassidy as her horse ran down the course.  Among this crowd were Kimmy, Wubbzy and Daizy.  They cheered for their friend as she winked back at them.  As the horse ran to the end, Cassidy got out her cowgirl rope and lassoed an apple from a table with precision.  The horse came to a stop at the end of the course as Cassidy met up with the cheering crowd.  “Wow, wow Cassidy,” said Wubbzy, “that was amazing.”

“You’re a natural at horseback riding,” said Daizy.

“Thanks guys,” said Cassidy as she got off her horse and gave it the apple, “this was why I always volunteer for carnivals like this.”

“That was awesome partner,” said Phineas as he and the others appeared on the scene while the crowd started dispersing, “way to ride.”

“Thanks amigo,” said Cassidy, liking Phineas’ western-like talk, “ridin’ horses is a classic hobby of mine.”

“I was not kidding when I said Cassidy’s the best,” said Kimmy.

“If only Applejack didn’t have to go to Appleloosa, then she’d see this fair, and how Cassidy does her stuff,” said Pumbaa.

“Well this here’s been great, regardless.  Heck, maybe someday we can go to her world and show her what we can do,” said Phineas, making Larman wary.

“Maybe someday Phineas, but for now, we’re doing baby steps,” said Cassidy, “hey, where’s Perry?”

Nearby, secret agent Perry snuck away unseen and dove into a water trough.  This trough had a secret underwater passage to his headquarters.  But Perry had to swim through a minefield and dodge lasers coming from guns tied to sharks.  Perry swam his way around the dangers and got to another pipe.  He shut the hatch, dodging the shark attack in time before swimming up to his headquarters.  He sat in his chair as Major Monogram appeared on the screen.  “Yeah, and she was like ‘oh no, you didn’t,’ and…oh, there you are Agent P,” he said as he noticed Perry’s presence in the briefing room.

Perry glared at his boss, not happy with what he had to go through in order to get to the HQ.  “Oops, I forgot to turn off the laser sharks again, didn’t I.  My bad,” he said with guilt before getting down to business, “anyway, the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz is at it again.  Not only does he have three books about insects ‘overdue’ at the library, but he’s cornered the market on aluminum siding.  He’s hold up on his water fortress on Lake Winimahatikihaha.  Ha-ha, I love saying that.  You must find out what he’s up to and put a stop to it.  That is all.”

With the briefing complete, Perry took off to confront Doofenshmirtz once again.  Using his jet ski, he drove over a lake on the outskirts of Danville, using a tracking device on his vehicle to track the doctor’s coordinates.  Perry looked up and saw that Doofenshmirtz’s hideout on Winimahatikihaha was straight ahead.  He drove his jet ski to the hideout, driving up a set of stairs before jumping off and landing a few feet away from Doofenshmirtz.  But this time, Doofenshmirtz was not alone.  Behind him was a tall, teenage girl with brown hair, blue eyes and a black, goth uniform.  “Ah, Perry the Platypus,” said Doofenshmirtz, “as usual, your time is uncanny, and by uncanny, of course I mean COMPLETELY CANNY!”

Doofenshmirtz pressed a button on his remote and a rope came down from above and tied Perry up before pulling him upward.  Perry was now hanging overhead, unable to go anywhere.  “So, Perry the Platypus, let me introduce to you my assistant Vanessa,” said Doofenshmirtz as he gestured towards the teenage girl.

“Whatever,” said an unimpressed Vanessa as she took out her phone and headphones.

“Hehe…she’s new,” said Doofenshmirtz, a little embarrassed before putting on a helmet, “anyway, at this very moment, termites all over the Tri-State Area will be controlled by me, using my termite controlling helmet.”

Doofenshmirtz showed a jar full of termites.  “See, see,” he asked as he showed the termites with a magnifying glass, “they have cute little helmets, just like me.  I don’t want to tell you how long it took to put them all on.  So, watch this.”

Doofenshmirtz pulled out a piece of wood and let the termites out of the jar.  On cue, the termites gathered around the wood, gobbling it into the shape of Doofenshmirtz’s face.  The termites flew back into the jar with that job done.  Three screens appeared around the room, showing photos of the city.  “Soon, I will have them devour all the wood in the Tri-State Area, then everyone will have to buy aluminum siding from me,” Doofenshmirtz laughed as he and Vanessa left the room.

A brief screen advertising Doofenshmirtz’s intended product appeared before going away.  “You’re through Perry the Platypus.  Through,” said Doofenshmirtz as he pressed another button on his remote while standing with Vanessa in one of the base’s pods, “now it is time for PLATYPUS FLAMB’E!”

The ground below Perry gave way for a pit of lava underneath.  Doofenshmirtz cackled as Vanessa pressed the pod door to close.  “Vanessa, did you bring the little wooden head the termites made,” asked Doofenshmirtz as Perry was slowly lowered towards the burning magma.

Back at the carnival, Candace was still chatting on the phone while sitting on the wooden fence.  “So anyway, I was like, ‘you talking to me,’  and she was like in my face, and…” she said before the termites chewed the wooden fence up, leaving nothing and causing Candace to drop to the ground and seeing the insects, “TERMITES!”

Candace fled the scene in fear of the bugs.  The termites followed her, chewing down a wooden restroom in doing so.  Candace quickly hid herself in a nearby wooden barn house as the termites gathered outside.  Inside the barn house, Candace looked back and saw hundreds of cows chewing their cud.  “HOLY COW!”

The cows sensed something going on and stopped their business.  As they stared at the house, they saw the termites chewing it to the ground.  Candace screamed in shock as the cows, now spooked, started panicking.  As the house got munched down to the ground, Candace and the cows fled the scene in fright.  Nearby, Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, Larman and the squad saw the commotion and were shocked.  “Wow,” said Phineas, “a stampeding herd of cattle.”

“They’re headed straight for town,” said Isabella as she pointed towards the city, “we’ve gotta do something.”

Everyone saw that the stampeding cows had reached the city and were causing serious traffic jams on the highways.  “We gotta get those cows back before they make a big mess in the city,” said Kyle.

“All we need are a couple of horses, and then we could…”

Before Phineas could finish, he and the others saw the termites fly overhead and mow down the wooden gate containing the horses Phineas and Ferb were riding earlier.  The horses bucked and panicked, but Phineas and Ferb thought they’d be perfect to get the job done.  The termites mowed down another fence: the one with the black horse Cassidy rode earlier and a few other horses.  “Huh, let’s go,” said Phineas as he and Ferb ran to the horses.

Phineas and Ferb got on their horses and prepared to take off.  “Let’s round us up some cows,” cheered Phineas before heading out with Ferb, “come on fellas!  YEE-HAW!”

“But Phineas, I…” called Larman, only to feel ignored, “…I don’t have a horse to ride on.”

Suddenly, Kimmy lifted Larman into the air, giving him a small startle.  The elephant placed the boy on the black horse, slightly confusing him.  “You do now,” said Cassidy, happy to lend the horse to Larman.

“But…this is your horse,” said Larman, unsure.

“I only rode him for a few minutes.  Besides, I’m generous to let my friend use him,” said Cassidy before getting on Kimmy’s back, “especially when I’ve got someone else to help solve problems like this.”

“You ready partner,” asked Kimmy, ready for a run.

“All set Kimmy gal,” said Cassidy like a cowgirl, “LET’S GET ‘ER DONE!”

With Cassidy ready and secured on her back, Kimmy took off after Phineas and Ferb.  Timon got on Pumbaa’s back and said, “come on Pumbaa!  LET’S WHIP SOME GRASS!”

Pumbaa ran after the group as Kyle, Rudy, Dennis, Kaytlin, Wubbzy and Daizy got on the other horses.  “LET’S RIDE,” cheered Rudy before getting his horse going, “YAH!”

Together, the group headed off to catch up with the others.  Larman joined them as Kaytlin said to Isabella, “hey Isabella, try that one over there,” as she pointed towards a direction.

Isabella looked and saw something awe-inspiring and helpful: a cute little pony with a purple bow, purple saddle and blond hair.  The pony whinnied at Isabella, as if it wanted her to ride him.  “Oooh,” said Isabella, curious.

Back with Candace, she was still running in front of the stampeding herd.  Terrified, but not stopping, she moved as fast as she could to avoid getting trampled.  As she ran, her phone went off and she answered it.  “OH MY GOSH!  STACY, I’M LIKE, IN A STAMPEDE!  I…”

Candace suddenly tripped and fell into a mud puddle.  Fortunately for her, the cows didn’t trample her and instead jumped over her.  “Just a sec,” she said as she watched the cows run.

“Hey Candace,” said Phineas as his horse jumped over her.

“Hey Phineas,” replied Candace before realizing that Phineas was riding the horse towards Danville, “Phineas?”

Ferb, Larman and Isabella also jumped over Candace on their respective horses while the squad ran by the mud puddle.  “PHINEAS,” yelled an angry Candace before turning back to her phone, “Stacy, I gotta go.”

Candace hung up on her phone, turning her attention to busting her brothers before seeing a pig chewing on an apple in the mud.

At the city, the cattle had invaded the town and were already running amok.  In an underground subway, the cattle ran out the train and ran up some stairs leading to above ground, into the city.  Their running startled several people in the subway station and they got out of the charging animals’ way.  The cattle stampeded above ground with Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, Larman and the squad in pursuit.  This commotion confused a few citizens nearby.  The stampede made its way to the Googleplex mall, where the cows joined the rush hour crowd in running in for some shopping.  Phineas and the others rushed in after them.  Some people fled in fear of the panicked cows, past some clothes isles.  Some of the cows even made it into some dressing rooms.  One cow ran out of a dressing room in a pink bra and blue dress before turning back to a mirror and checking himself out in the attire.  He quickly resumed his run as Phineas and Kyle appeared behind him.  “YEE-HAW!  YAH COW!”

On another level in the mall, an elevator opened and another group of cows came running out, startling a nearby woman.  Ferb, Cassidy and Kimmy appeared in pursuit of the cows.  Although the stampede was a problem, the team couldn’t help but get into the spirit of a cattle roundup, like in the Wild West.  Ferb played his guitar as his horse strolled down the hallways and while Cassidy and Kimmy danced to the music.  Phineas and Kyle appeared and shared in the excitement.

Phineas: In the mall
Up and down the escalators
In the mall
I got a hankerin’ for potatoers
In the mall

Isabella: In the mall

Phineas: ‘Cause pretty soon now it’ll
Be ‘bout time to stop for vittles
In the mall

The commotion temporarily stopped for the moment as everyone, including the cows and horses, stopped at a nearby cafeteria for lunch.  It was quiet and peaceful as everyone had their meals.  “Well that was delicious,” said Phineas.

“Slimey, yet satisfying,” added Pumbaa.

With that done, the stampede resumed and the cows ran out of the cafeteria with Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, Larman and the squad in pursuit.  Eventually, the stampede left the mall and started running down the streets again.  Not far away, Candace, now riding her bike, rode into the city, ranting about her brothers’ actions.  “A stampede through downtown, I mean who does that,” she asked herself before stopping at a hill and overlooking the activity, “all of them are so going to get it.”

As she glared at the stampede below her, her bike suddenly zoomed down the hill, catching Candace off guard.  She screamed as she went down the hill, crashing into an opening door in the process.  Someone in a cow costume came out as Candace pulled herself together.  She looked up and saw a sign that said “Haney’s Cow Emporium.”  Thinking this could be her answer, she took off her helmet and went inside.  “Well, what can I do for you, little lady,” asked Haney, the shop owner.

“What have you got to stop a stampede,” asked Candace.

“I think I might have just the thing for you.  Let’s see,” said Haney as he looked through his stuff, “scary wolf puppet.”

Candace glared at Haney, skeptical of the puppet working.  “Imagine you’re a cow, you’re there mindin’ your own business, chewin’ your cud with the other heifers when suddenly,” Haney explained before imitating a wolf howl, “‘I’m a very hungry wolf.  I like to eat cows.  Ooh, I’m so hungry.’”

Candace still didn’t buy it.  The puppet rattled a little before Haney realized that it might not work either.  “Uh, of course not,” he said quietly before coming back with a brief case and opening it up, “ooh, a genuine silent cow whistle.”

“You sure this will stop a stampede,” asked Candace as she looked at the whistle.

“As sure as the day is long.”

“Sold,” said Candace as she gave Haney some coins.

With the cow whistle in possession, Candace rushed out of the store and onto a nearby road.  The stampede came running her way, but Candace was sure her whistle would work.  She took a deep breath and blew into it while gesturing out her hand.  The stampede stopped shortly after this.  Candace looked and saw that the whistle worked.  “Well, whatdaya know?  It works,” exclaimed a proud Candace.

But overhead, a traffic light turned from red to green, allowing the annoyed cows to resume their run.  They were simply stopping for the red light.  “Wait, stop!  Uh oh,” said Candace before fleeing.

As she ran, she blew into her whistle again, but nothing happened.  Irritated that the whistle failed, she shouted out, “HANEY, THIS COW WHISTLE DOESN’T WORK!”

At the shop, Haney put up a sign, saying the shop is closed.  Candace hid behind a wall, dodging the stampede as it rushed across the buildings.  She watched the stampede go before spotting Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, Larman and the squad pursuing the herd.  “Ooh, they’re so gonna get it,” muttered Candace as she glared at them.

Not far away, Simba and Nala were taking a peaceful stroll through the city together.  As they walked though, they felt the ground starting to shake.  Surprised, Simba stopped and said, “Nala…do you feel that?”

“I do,” said Nala, “what’s happening?”

As the two lions looked around, they spotted the cow stampede heading right towards them.  “STAMPEDE,” cried a shocked Simba.

Unable to do anything to stop them in time, Simba and Nala quickly jumped into a nearby alleyway, dodging the herd in time.  Simba looked at the herd, reminded of bad experiences from his childhood, but relieved to have gotten out of there in time.  “Phew, that was close,” he said.

“Where’d all those cows come from,” asked Nala.

The two lions peaked out from the alley and saw Phineas and the others bringing up the rear.  “Kyle?  Phineas,” asked a surprised Simba, “what’re they all up too?”

Candace got on her bike and called Linda.  “Mom, they’re driving a herd of cattle right through downtown,” she said.

Linda was at a hair salon when she got Candace’s call.  “Well, um, I’m a little busy sweetie,” she said as she read a magazine, oblivious to the stampeding herd outside, “I’m having my hair done at Babs’.”

“OH YEAH, THAT’S PERFECT,” exclaimed a frustrated Candace, “well, they’re coming your way.  Quick, look out the window!  Do you see any cows?”

Linda looked out the window, but all she saw was a poster of cows on a Swampy Farm Fresh Milk truck.  What Linda didn’t know was that the cows Candace was talking about were there, but behind the truck.  Phineas and the others kept holding up the rear of the herd as they passed the truck.  Linda, having not caught a glimpse of the stampede, looked at the truck picture and said, “that’s cute Candace.  Ok, Babs needs to comb me up.  Gotta go.”

Candace growled in intense fury, angered that she failed again.  But she was not done yet.  She rode her bike down the road, trying to catch up with Phineas and the others and stop them.

Back at Doofenshmirtz’s lake fortress, Perry was lowered closer to the lava.  The overhead screen lit up and showed a screen with Doofenshmirtz and Vanessa watching from a different room.  “Any last noises Perry the Platypus,” asked Doofenshmirtz, eager to end his nemesis for good, “you know, that little chirping, little, silly voice that you make.”

Perry chattered in response, satisfying Doofenshmirtz.  “Yeah, that’s the one,” said the evil doctor, “hehehe…”

But Perry wasn’t finished.  With all his might, he swung himself to a nearby control panel.  The rope hanging from overhead caught on fire and it burned up, freeing the platypus from his restrain.  With that, the smirking Perry prepared to push a purple caution buttons.  “WAIT, DON’T TOUCH THAT BUTTON,” exclaimed a frantic Doofenshmirtz.

Perry stopped as Doofenshmirtz said, “no, no, the other one.”

Perry looked to his left and saw another caution button: one that was yellow and black striped.  “YES, THAT ONE!  THAT’S THE BUTTON YOU SHOULD NOT TOUCH!”

But Doofenshmirtz was ignored.  Perry pressed the button and this ignited the self-destruct order.  “Self-destruct sequence initiated,” said a computer.

“NOW YOU’VE GONE AND DONE IT,” exclaimed Doofenshmirtz.

“You put a self-destruct button in a death chamber,” asked an annoyed Vanessa before leaving, “I’m so out of here.  This is the worst Bring-your-daughter-to-work-day ever.”

“Tell your mother you had fun though,” said Doofenshmirtz.

“Oh, by the way, I’m taking the last escape pod,” said Vanessa before getting in said pod and getting out of the fortress.

“It’s ok, I’ll just take the jetpack,” said Doofenshmirtz as the pod flew off, “now where did I put that…”

Suddenly remembering that the jetpack was also in the death chamber, Doofenshmirtz freaked out again as Perry noticed it.  “OH, WHAT WAS I THINKING?  I PUT THE JETPACK IN THERE TOO?  I might as well have given him an escape hatch!  I mean…”

Perry, with the jetpack on, flew out of the escape hatch before Doofenshmirtz could finish his sentence.  Now on his own, with no chance of escaping, he said, “well…guess I’m running,” before swiftly running to find a way out, “HELP!  AAAAAH!  HELP ME!”

As Perry flew out, he heard Doofenshmirtz’s screams and looked back at the fortress.  Rolling his eyes, he flew back into the fortress and grabbed Doofenshmritz, carrying him to safety as the self destruct counted down from five.  “WAIT, I FORGOT MY LITTLE WOODEN HEAD!”

The duo flew out of the hideout, just as the doors closed shut.  Finally, the self-destruct reached zero and the base demolished into pieces.  “YES,” cheered Doofenshmirtz, relieved to have survived, “YES, WE ARE SAFE!”

Finally, after a long stampede across the city, the herd of cows was finally bought under control.  Phineas and the others slowly guided the cows back to the carnival.  “Yep, just a-lopin’ them doggies down the long, lonesome trail,” said Phineas, “ain’t this livin’?”

“Boy howdy,” replied Isabella, also getting into the western style.

“Another day, another win amigos,” said Cassidy, “we got them cows headin’ the right way.”

“So far,” said an unsure Larman as he looked behind them.

The slow trail back to the carnival caused a build up of traffic behind the group.  One driver impatiently honked his horn, startling the cows again.  The cows started running again, catching everyone by surprise.  “THEY’RE STAMPEDING AGAIN,” exclaimed Phineas, “QUICK!  HEAD THEM TO THE OFF-RAMP!”

Together, they drove the cows off the highway and onto an off-ramp.  Everyone was now safe from roaring highway traffic, but there was another problem.  The cows busted through a guard rail and headed down the mountain side, towards a cliff.  “THEY’RE HEADING FOR A CLIFF,” cried a worried Larman.

Kimmy ran ahead of the others while Cassidy quickly took out her cowgirl rope and swung it around in the air.  She lashed it out and it successfully lassoed the cow in front of the herd.  She pulled on the rope with all her might, trying to get the cow to stop.  Kimmy halted her run and tried forced herself backwards, trying to keep Cassidy and herself from getting pulled by the herd.  Fortunately for them, the cows also noticed the danger and stopped at the cliff edge.  The cows looked down, seeing the long height below.  Kimmy and Cassidy looked at the herd and sighed.  “Perfect,” said Cassidy as she relaxed, “we got ‘em now.”

The lead cow sighed with relief before getting accidentally bumped off the cliff by another cow, taking Cassidy’s rope with him.  The other cows glared at him as a gobsmacked Cassidy said, “well…most of them at least.”

“Ferb, strum something,” said Phineas, “it’ll calm ‘em down.”

Before Ferb could do that, one of the strings on his guitar snapped, startling the cows again.  No longer worried of the height, the cows jumped off the cliff, scaring some of the squad members.  “OH NO,” cried Wubbzy, “THEY’RE FALLING OFF THE CLIFF INTO…”

Before Wubbzy could finish, he and the others noticed that the cows weren’t falling onto any ground, but onto a water slide at the nearby Cliffside Water Park.  “…a water park,” asked a surprised Wubbzy.

“What’re the odds of that being there,” asked Daizy.

“Who cares,” said Kaytlin, “I love water parks.  Come on!”

Together, the gang jumped off the cliff too and plummeted towards the water slides.  “YEE-HAW,” they cheered.

“HAKUNA MATATA,” cried Pumbaa as he fell.

They landed on the water slides and joined in the fun.  While Phineas and the gang slid down to the bottom, some of the cows were flown into the air.  They posed as they flew, as if they were having fun themselves.  Some posed like they were skiing, others like they were biking, and others like they were super heroes.  After getting down to the ground, they did a finishing pose, posing like a fountain giving off water.  Nearby, Phineas and the others watched them before Phineas said, “yo cows!”

The cows looked at Phineas as he said, “uh…yah!”

The cows, now having calmed down, obeyed the order and walked across the water, towards the carnival.  “Hey, we’re fording a stream,” said Phineas.

“Oh look, my rope,” said Cassidy as she spotted her rope floating on the water.

While Kimmy retrieved the rope, Simba and Nala appeared and landed in the water, meeting up with the team.  Larman got startled by their sudden appearance.  “Looks like you guys have everything under control after all,” said Simba.

“Simba!  Nala,” exclaimed Kyle, happy to see the duo “so nice of you to join us.”

“Thanks,” said Simba as he and Nala joined them in guiding the herd to safety, “now if only we can do this with the wildebeests back home.”

Back on the cliff, Candace rode her back down the steep hill before stopping on a ledge.  She glared at the group before the ground below her collapsed, sending her falling down.  Unfortunately, she didn’t land on the water slide.  Instead, she bounced off the slide shack and crashed into the cliff wall.  The rest of the plummet down was no less bad for her.  “CACTUS!  SNAKES!  SCORPIONS,” she exclaimed as she landed on ledges with said things.

Back with Perry and Doofenshmirtz, they had flown a distance from the destroyed fortress and were above the carnival.  “Haha, you may think that I am defeated Perry the Platypus, but I still have my termite controlling helmet,” said a still confident Doofenshmirtz before cackling.

As they flew, the jetpack ran out of fuel.  The exhaust from the jetpack faded away as the duo started falling to the ground.  “SAVE US PERRY THE PLATYPUS,” cried Doofenshmirtz.

Fortunately, Perry had his parachute and he opened it up.  Doofenshmritz grabbed Perry’s feet and safely landed on the top of a nearby roller coaster.  “Oh, hahaha, I survived,” cheered Doofenshmirtz before hearing Perry hit a switch on the back of his helmet, “wait…what was that?  Did you just hit the reverse switch?  Oh, why do I even put that on there?  I can’t even reach it.  What is wrong with me anyway?”

As Doofenshmirtz lamented at his incompetence, he heard some buzzing noises coming from behind.  He looked and saw the swarm of termites coming at him.  “AH!  QUICK, GO AWAY,” he screamed before fleeing.  

The terrified Doofenshmirtz fled down the roller coaster track.  “STOP!  HELP ME!  HELP ME…”

As Doofenshmirtz fled, the termites mowed down the coaster, causing some of the wooden track pieces to fly off and land in an opening nearby.  Perry landed a couple meters away and watched as the termites chased after Doofenshmirtz.  

Back with Phineas and the gang, they had just finished explaining what was going on to Simba and Nala.  “Ah, so that’s what happened,” said Simba, “you were trying to herd the cattle back to the carnival.”

“Darn tootin’ Simba,” said Pumbaa, “sorry.  This whole thing has gotten me in the mood.”

“Me too,” said a proud Timon, “nothing can knock ol’ Timon and Pumbaa down so easily.”

“Well this has been fun, but we oughta be getting the herd back into a corral,” said Phineas as he and the others guided the cattle down the trail.

“Yeah, but where’re we gonna find a corral,” asked Dennis.

As they walked, the falling pieces of the roller coaster landed in front of the cows.  The tracks landed in a formation that looked like a holding pen.  All of the cows were gathered together in this area.  As they stood, a metal bar from the roller coaster broke off and landed on the tracks, creating a makeshift corral.  Confused, but satisfied, Phineas said, “well that was easy.”

“Hey whatdaya know,” said an equally satisfied Dennis, “the world jinxed me in a good way this time.”

Back with Doofenshmirtz, the termites caught up to him and carried him off.  “AAAHH,” he screamed, “CURSE YOU PERRY THE PLATYPUS!”

Perry watched as the defeated doctor got carried away before switching back to his mindless pet demeanor.  Phineas and the others got off their horses and marveled at what they had been through.  “Huh!  That was so awesome,” said Phineas.

“Woo-hoo,” agreed Isabella.

Linda drove up in her car and met up with everyone.  “Hey kids,” she said, “did you guys have fun?”

“Yee-haw,” cheered Phineas.

“Yo doggie,” added Isabella.

“We had the time of our lives,” said an ecstatic Cassidy as she high-fived Kimmy, “it was quite the thrill.”

Larman saw how everyone around him was excited and happy.  He gave a smile and said, “yeah…it was a thrill.”

“Oh good,” said Linda, happy that they all had fun time together.

Suddenly, Linda heard a low growling sound coming from behind her.  Recognizing it, she turned and saw Candace, bruised, dirty, defeated and not happy.  “Candace,” said Linda, shocked to see her daughter like that, “are you ok sweetie?”

“I SO don’t wanna talk about it,” said an angry Candace as she got in the car.

“Alright, get in the car Snappy Pants,” commented Linda before turning back to the others, “what was that about?”

Ferb removed his cowboy hat and said, “I reckon herding cattle ain’t for city folk.”
