Daria and the Flynn Fletchers - Big Ideas in Lawndale - Part 1
Big Ideas in Lawndale
July
13, 2004
Lawndale,
Wisconsin
111
Howard Drive, 7:40 AM
Jane Lane opened the door and found her
friend, Daria Morgendorffer, waiting. “You’re early, Daria,” she said.
“I know, but I’d like to get over into Danville
early, before Candace gets it into her mind to come over here,” Daria said.
“True,” Jane said. She knew that Candace
Flynn would think to come over to Lawndale sooner or later. “You did call her,
right?” She thought that if Candace wasn’t home that it would be awkward
waiting for her to come back.
“I called the Flynn-Fletchers, but there
was no answer.”
“I’ve had my Coffee. I’m ready to go.”
“What about Trent?” Daria asked, referring
to Jane’s brother.
“He stayed up all night…”
“Of course.”
Danville,
Minnesota
2308
Maple Drive, 8:00 AM
For a second day in a row Trent’s Plymouth
parked out the front of a two story house in a Danville suburb.
“Are you sure you want to be here this
early?” Trent Lane asked just before he turned off the engine.
“Yes,” Daria said.
“Before Candace left home to come over to
Lawndale,” Jane added.
“Cool,” Trent said, as his sister and her
friend got out of the car.
Candace Flynn was ready to go. She had
gotten up early (not very easily, given that she had gone out in Lawndale the
night before) and had her breakfast. She was about to leave when she saw Daria,
Jane and Trent enter the backyard. “Oh!” she said. She went and opened the
sliding door. “You’re here early.”
“I thought that coming here before you headed
into Lawndale would be a good idea,” Daria said.
“We didn’t want you going back and forth
too much,” Jane added.
Candace thought for a moment. “I guess so.
But no one else is up yet.”
“We can wait,” Daria said.
“I’ll take a nap,” Trent said.
A while later, Phineas and Ferb came down
the stairs.
“It looks like a good day, Ferb,” Phineas
noted. Ferb nodded.
“Hi, Phineas,” Jane said.
“You’re here again, Cool!”
“Yes, yesterday’s project gave me great
ideas for my paintings,” Jane said.
“Cool,” Phineas said.
“They’re going to be a while in deciding,”
Candace said.
“Let’s look at our plans, Ferb.” Ferb
flashed a thumbs up signal.
Linda and Lawrence came down a few minutes
later. “I see that Candace has invited you over again?” Linda asked.
“Yes, Mrs. Flynn-Fletcher,” Jane replied.
“It is good that she has friends in
Lawndale, as well as here in Danville.”
Phineas overheard this. “That’s it, Ferb!
I know what we are going to do today!”
“What are you doing?” Candace asked.
“We’ll build an advanced vehicle and then
use it to visit Lawndale,” Phineas said.
Ferb nodded.
“And so we go back and forth,” Daria said.
“True,” Jane said. She noted that Perry
had gone from where she had seen him. “Hey, Where’s Perry?”
Once again, Perry entered his lair, after
entering via one of the Flynn-Fletchers’ kitchen cupboards. “Good Morning, Agent P. It appears that
Doofenshmirtz has established a branch of his business in downtown Lawndale, in
a disreputable street…” Major Francis Monogram started.
He was then interrupted by his intern,
Karl Carl. “Dega Street isn’t that
disreputable, Sir.”
“Karl!”
“Well
it isn’t, Sir.”
“Well,
I say it’s disreputable.”
“Yes.
Sir.”
Monogram turned back to his Agent. “At any event, this development must be
investigated. Get going and find out what he’s up to. We’re counting on you,
Agent P!”
At the same time as Perry departing in the
direction of Lawndale, Phineas and Ferb exited the house into the back yard,
followed by Candace, Jane and Daria.
“So, you are going to build something
better than what you built yesterday?” Daria asked.
“Absolutely,” Phineas said.
“So, it’s not going to fall apart like
that stone flying bus?” Jane asked.
“No, we’ll be using state of the art
materials,” Phineas enthused.
“That’s good then,” Jane said.
“Certainly safer,” Candace mused. “But
still bustable!”
Isabella Garcia-Shapiro entered by the
side gate. “Hi, what’cha doo-in?”
Phineas explained the idea.
“That’s cool, I haven’t seen much of
Lawndale.”
“Compared to Danville, it’s boring,” Jane
said.
Ferb produced a plan. “That’s a great
design,” Phineas enthused. Ferb gave a thumbs up. “Let’s get started.”

Daria and the Flynn Fletchers - Daria in Danville - Conclusion
Conclusion
When she arrived home, Sandi entered her
room and looked at the mess that Norm had left behind when he abducted her that
morning.“Uh! You’ll pay for what you did, Doofenshmirtz!” As she started
cleaning the mess she decided to try to stop his schemes somehow. ‘I’ll try to find
out who that Platypus works for,’ she mused.
After she had tidied her room, she went to
the computer, closed the HTML files she had been working on and started
planning...
Daria and Jane arrived at the Zon (or the
Zen, no one knew what the symbol in the middle of the nightclub’s name meant)
at 10:00. “Trent said that Spiral will be on just after 10,” Jane said.
“Have they improved?” Daria asked.
“Hardly,” Jane said.
Trent came up on stage. “Hey, we’re Mystik
Spiral. But we might change our name. This is Mr. Normal.”
“Who
shot the hippies? Who locked them in a zoo?...”
After Spiral’s first set, another teen
came up to Daria and Jane. “Candace?” Jane asked, for it was Candace, dressed
as if she wanted to hide herself.
“Keep it down, Jane. I don’t want anyone
to know I’m here.”
“Why not?” Daria asked.
“Mom, thinks I’m at Stacy’s, and Stacy
thinks I’m at Jenny’s.”
“Who?” Daria asked.
“Another of my friends, she’s always
advocating for world peace.”
“Right, why are you here?”
“Um, Jeremy called tonight and said that
he’s coming over! It’s going to be embarrassing if Phineas and Ferb carry off
something crazy tomorrow and aren’t busted!”
“Jeremy Johnson?” Jane asked.
Candace merely nodded. Jane could also see
a blush. She whispered to Daria, pointing out the blush.
Daria nodded, with a glance in Trent’s
direction and a blush of her own. “I see, but there are no guarantees. It
depends on a lot of variables. It may turn out like today.”
“OK,” Candace said quietly.
“Wait and see,” Jane said encouragingly.
Candace gave a weak smile.
Candace left the Lawndale nightclub in the
midst of Trent’s band’s second set. She wasn’t sure what the next day would
bring, but she hoped that her Mom would find out what her brothers were really
up to. She didn’t want any of their schemes to end in disaster.
Candace’s departure from the Zᶲn didn’t go
unnoticed. A goth girl, with short dark hair, intermediate between Daria and
Jane’s ages watched her get into a taxi and overheard her give the driver an
address in Danville.
Once the taxi had driven away, the girl
wondered what had brought Candace into Lawndale that night.
