As I ate my pancakes, I stared at Thomas nervously. He was still worried about what happened last night. Phineas and Isabella might've just laughed it off and forgotten about yesterday but I was still mentally slapping myself. By this rate, I'm gonna ruin more than just my chances at getting Dad back.

Ferb sat next to me with a plate of pancakes and started eating, his eyes dull but a little curious.

"Hi, Ferb!" I smiled.
He glanced at me before turning back.
"Phineas and Isabella are on their ice cream date right now, right?" I asked, used to his silence.
He nodded.

I smiled to myself and wolfed down my pancakes. Being in this time period wasn't so bad, I got to see everyone I loved when they were younger. It still puzzled me why this time though but whatever.

I turned back to Ferb. "So is it cool that you sorta have a day off from building? You know, because Phineas isn't here and all."
He shrugged.

I sucked my lips a little. Usually when I talked to Uncle Ferb, he'd say a few words and smile but this Ferb seemed like a shell.

I curled my hand in a fist and smiled, determined. I was a Flynn! As Dad said, the only thing impossible was impossibility!

"Ferb! I know what we're going to do today!" I exclaimed, standing up on the chair.

He sighed, yanked me down back to the seat, and pulled a toolbox out of nowhere,

"To the backyard!" I smiled, skipping off.

Ferb pulled a bunch of blueprints from his back pocket. I decided to pick the Phineadroids and Ferbots. I loved them as a kid, or well now since I'm twelve.

Thomas came out and I waved to him. "Come build with us, Tommy!"
He rolled his eyes but came over. "What're you making."
"Phineadroids and Ferbots!" I explained.
He leaned over to me and whispered, "Didn't they develop self knowledge and go haywire?"
"Yea, but they stopped when they started dancing." I whispered back.
He leaned back so that Ferb could hear. "Well, since Phineas isn't here, wouldn't you rather make a Maridroid?"
"Ooh! And a Tombot!" I said and added more designs to Phineas' plans.

Ferb cocked a brow as I drew quickly but he stayed silent.

"Let's make them break dance! Oh! And we can add a voice sample so that they can sing!" I swiftly drew more.

I shoved the blueprint up to Ferb, excitedly. "Do we have materials?"

Ferb scanned the plan slowly and then nodded.

"Great!" I smiled.

Ferb got the materials and we started building. Well, Ferb and Thomas were building, I sat there. I was good with blueprint plans but unlike them, I tend to destroy everything I build.

"Thanks for taking me for ice cream, Phineas!"

I turned around and saw Phineas and Isabella walking through the fence door.

"No problem, Izzy! Happy birthday again! I had a good--whoa! What are those?!" Phineas ran over to where we were and left a frowning Isabella by the door.

"Hey, Phineas!" I greeted, standing up.
"Hey, Marie! What are those? They sorta look like..." He peered closer.

Ferb held up the redesigned blue prints, still focusing on connecting some parts.

"Hey, those are the Phineadroids and Ferbots!" Phineas smiled.
"We made a few additions. Hope you don't mind." I said.

Phineas walked around them, inspecting them. The whole time he was smiling and I almost popped from happiness.

"These are good! I'm guessing you made some for yourself like this one looks like you, Marie, and that one looks like Thomas and ooh! This one looks like Isabella!" He exclaimed.

Isabella sat down next to me and blew a strand of hair from her face, angrily. "Always the inventions..."
I leaned over. "Don't worry. I got this."

"Hey, Phineas, which one of us do you think is cute?" I asked.

Thomas gaped at me, Ferb looked amused, while Isabella was shocked.

Phineas tilted his head to think. "Well, I mean, you're both cute I guess, but Isabella is scientifically proven to be the cutest person on Earth."

Isabella sighed and smiled, rolling her eyes. "I'll take what I can get."
"I got your back, Isabella!" I smiled and she smiled back.

"They're done." Thomas announced.

I jumped up and grabbed the remote. "Watch this! They can dance!"

I pushed a button and the robots started to dance. Some were doing the jig, some were just jumping around, and some had partnered up and were dancing the tango.

"Oh! I almost forgot the voice samples!" I said and pushed the sing button for my robots.

"And you don't have to build a roller coaster
To find your own way to make the most of
These days of summer
And dance to the beat of a different drummer
Just grab those opportunities when you see 'em
'Cause every day's a brand new day, you gotta Carpe Diem"

I smiled as I heard myself sing Dad's favorite song to sing to me when I was sad.

After a while, I stopped and saw everyone staring at me with smiles on their faces. I stopped the recording and blushed. "What?"

"Marie, that was amazing!" Phineas said.
"Thanks!" I said.
"Are you secretly a singer with a double life?" Isabella laughed.
I thought back to my college degree for music and I grinned. "Maybe, maybe not."

"No, that was like 'Phineas and the Ferbettes' good! You know, we should do that again! Make you a star, Marie! But this time, a full time star, not a one hit wonder like us." Phineas said.
"Um, maybe." I said. "I'm actually interested in being a music teacher."
"Well, that's cool, but your voice is so amazing that it needs to be shared with everyone! Plus, with your cuteness, you could become America's next childhood sweetheart! Now talk about some Carpe Diem!" Phineas put his arms around my shoulders and led me inside.

I bit my lip and peeked back. Isabella looked upset. When Ferb took her hand, I saw her squeeze it.

I mouthed 'sorry' to her but she turned away.
