Summer of Friends Part 1 (First Half)

Part One: How to Make New Friends

    Rachel’s Imaginary World

    Inside a dark room, 6-year-old Eduardo ‘Eddie’ Flynn was standing in front of a sliding glass door that looked like a double door with a lock attaching them together that lit the one side of the dark room. Eduardo ‘Eddie’ Flynn is the son of Phineas Flynn and Isabella Garcia-Shapiro.  He has dark hair, wearing a red shirt, orangeish shorts, and red shoes.  His face is like Phineas’ but with a cute boy image. He’s wearing a white cape because he had the dream of being a superhero one day.

     He was making an epic hero pose when a voice said, “Are you ready, Eddie?” And Eddie says, “Yes, Rachel!”

    Then stepping out a dark hallway is 10-year-old Rachel ‘Ray Gun’ Flynn, Eddie’s older sister and the daughter of Phineas Flynn and Isabella Garcia-Shapiro. She has red hair like her father with a figure just like her mother. She wears an orange shirt with yellow ends and a yellow star on it, blue pants, blue and white Easy-Fit shoes. She carries an orange backpack with a blue enclosed white circle and the same yellow star on her shirt in the center of the white circle. She marches to Eddie as he was still looking out the sliding glass door. Rachel then turns to face Eddie.

    Rachel says to him, “Now listen up Eddie because this mission is the most daring, most dangerous, and most brutal we two have ever received. Now the machines that we're going up against are very threatening, incredibly destructive, and highly intelligent.”

    Rachel then pulls out a poster that has an image of two different robotic bees, a yellow one and a blue one. Rachel then continues, “They're called Cybees. Cybees are cybernetic mutant bees that are from a dark hostile planet with no name. No one knows about their origin but we do know three things. One is that their tongue can reach into a person's mouth and once they got in, they'll feed on them until they die.”

     Eddie recited, “The Cybee's tongue can kill any person within contact if the person's mouth is open, got it. I'll be keeping my mouth shut. Besides, it’s disgusting.”

    Rachel then continues, “That's right. Two,  the stinger from a Worker Cybee can strike a person but in two way,  either slash them off entirely or carefully make a point to where,  create a wound, and then have that wound regenerate the skin and then  transform that person into a drone.

     Eddie said, “Stingers can either kill or create a wound to be regenerated and transform the victim into a drone or a worker.”

    Rachel then continues, “Correct and Third, a Drone Cybee may have many eyes than a Worker Cybee, but they don't fly well. I know it is useless information but that's all we got.”

     Eddie then asks Rachel, “Question, do these things like honey?” Rachel then got confused and said to her little brother, “Honey?” Eddie then recited, “Yeah, because bees like honey and these are cybees, so I figured.....”

     But before he could finish, Rachel then shouted to Eddie in an annoyed way, “I get it!”

    As they march into the bright light, it then begins to fade out until it reveals their backyard. The backyard is about 3/4 the length of a football field. It's all grass, two digital trees on the lawn, and a playground that has a slide, a swing-set, a jungle gym, and a maze all connected to each other. Rachel and Eddie looked around and then he looks up and sees something in the sky. He tugs Rachel's shirt.

     “Rachel, up there.”

    Rachel looked up to the sky and a swarm of cybees are looking down upon her and Eddie. An Even 12 of each worker and droid cybees. The worker cybees are yellow and the droid cybees are blue. Then all the cybees swooped down in a wave of battle. Then Heavy Metal and Techno battle music was playing. Rachel and Eddie are making their ground. All of the cybees starts raining down onto the two.

    “Eddie, Remember, Keep your mouth closed at all times and watch out for those stingers.” Rachel shouted to Eddie.  “I’m on it!” He said, and the battle was on.  

     As Eddie uses his heat projection eyes to destroy the cybees, one of the worker cybees hit Eddie on the side and lands down on the ground. The worker cybee traps him and it begins to open its mouth and slowly coming out of it is its tongue.

     Eddie then said in a determined look, "Okay, I just saw this out of a sci-fi horror movie once and I know how that person in that situation died so....." As the worker cybee makes its target with its tongue, Eddie flies out and the worker cybee’s tongue stuck in the ground, then it pulls it back up and spits out the dirt. Eddie then continues, "I avoided that fate."

     Then the worker cybee begins to charge at Eddie. He acts a little frightened. Then a blast came out and destroyed the worker cybee. Eddie turns and sees Rachel giving him a determined thumbs-up. Eddie then gives her the thumbs-up and they continue battling.

    Phineas then said, “Rachel, since today’s your first day of summer, why don’t you start making some friends?”

     Rachel said, “Oh yeah, making friends. I remember that; but we all know what the main problem is when I wanted to make friends.”

     “You’re afraid and shy that everybody will think of you as crazy; and I should know because I have experiences with that as a teen, except my problems are different.” Candace said. “Rachel, there’s nothing to be afraid about, you have an amazing imagination and I’m sure everybody else will like you for you.”

    Then Cousin Amanda said, “Look Rachel, even if you got an active imagination, you need to learn how to make friends for a change because every time some kids come over to play with you, you shy away and never come face to face with them and why? Because you think that nobody’s going to take you serious. If you keep doing that, you’re going to wind up like that nerdy teen over there.”

     Rachel turned around and there standing was a nerdy teen, just like Amanda said. He said in traditional Chinese, “如果你能学会如何交朋友，现在，你不会是像我现在很孤独。” (Translation: If you can learn how to make friends right now, you won't end up being very lonely like I am right now.)

     Rachel then said in a confused expression, “Okay, but how did he-”

     “He’s just there to give you advice, you can go now.” Phineas said to the nerdy kid, and then the nerdy kid leaves. Rachel still looks confused and said to the audience, “interesting advice but pointless and slows down the pacing of the plot.”

    “Okay Agent P, Agent Ernie’s nemesis is Natalie Baxter, she is a mad scientist, but once you get to know her you can see…..” Then a picture of a beautiful crime lady shows up on the screen. “Carl!”

      Then Carl said, “Sorry, Major Monogram.”

     “Anyway, Agent P, This is Agent Ernie’s nemesis, Natalie Baxter.” Then the picture shows a 14 year old girl with light brown hair.

     “Don’t let the age and cuteness fool you, she is more than you will know when you meet her. Besides, I did inform Dr. Doofenshmirtz all about it and we assigned Agent S to take care of it for you. Now where was I? Oh yes. Agent Ernie, Natalie Baxter is on the move, We don’t know anything about her plan. As we all know that it is important that your cover identity as a mindless domestic pet remains intact. If the family finds out and your cover’s been blown, you will be relocated, right?” Major Monogram said and Agent Ernie nods.

   “Good now get out there. We are all counting on you."

    Meanwhile, arriving at Danville Park, Rachel was looking at the kids and then she says to herself in dramatic mode, “Okay Rachel, no more being shy, you can do this, time to make some friends!”

     Then Eddie said to Rachel, “Who are you talking to?”

     Then she said in a dramatic pose, “To my SOUL!” Then lightning flashes with thunder booms, added for dramatic effect.

     But Eddie looks confused at first and he said, “Okay? Want some chips?”

     “Yes, yes I do.” Rachel said.

     Then Eddie offers some chips to Amanda, “You want some too, Amanda?”

      Amanda then said, “Rachel, if you want to make friends then I suggest you stop talking to your “soul”……… and Eddie, for the 12^th, I’M ON A DIET!” Eddie then puts the chips away. 

    Then Rachel started to look at a bunch of kids splashing water at each other. She begins to look fascinated and excited about it. “Amanda, I was thinking about playing with these kids over there.” “I don’t know, Rachel. How are you going to play with them?”

      Rachel then said, “How?” Then she whips out her toy gun from her backpack. She then makes a determined look. “With this!”

      She then heads out to the other kids. Eddie then cheered on her, “Go get them, sis!”

     Stopping for a breath, Rachel looks up and sees an Indian girl wearing glasses and she was testing experiments with a chemistry set on a picnic table. She walks up to the girl.  Rachel then said, “Hi there, Whatcha’ doin’?”

      Then the girl said “I’m working on my chemistry lab so I can get ready for next semester.”

      Rachel gets confused and she said to her, “Next semester? What for?”

      The girl continued, “Don’t you know that many kids always tend to forget things during the summer and when they get back to school, all they forget is what they studied over the last semester?”

      “What are you talking about? It’s summer vacation. Don’t you know what summer is?” Rachel asked.

      “I can’t say that I do.” said the girl.

      And Rachel said to her, “Summer is a time where there’s no school, no teachers, no homework, and you can do whatever you want, and the only thing that you have to worry about are bullies.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Agent Ernie and Agent P were driving down through a cookie-cutter neighborhood until they come across one of the houses that have a huge glasshouse in the backyard. They drove around it and then they parked. Both Agent Ernie and Agent P jumped out and make their way through the window. Inside was a laboratory/bedroom that oddly has a teenage girl theme to it with the color scheme of red, pink, white, purple, and black. They tiptoed slowly, but suddenly, two mechanical arms appeared, captured the two animal agents, and locked them in a red cage.

    Then a slow clapping is heard as menacing music was playing. Then a shadowy figure appears out and it reveals to be a 14-year-old girl with light brown hair, a red lab coat with yellow shoulder marks, a magenta shirt with an anime kitten’s face on it, a pink skirt, turquoise pants, and teal, red, and cerulean shoes. Her name was Natalie Baxter. She was taking a one day three hour video chat tutoring session with Dr. Heinx Doofenshmirtz.

      She said, “Well, Ernie the Aardvark and Perry the Platypus! How unexpected, and by unexpected I mean…….”

      Then suddenly, Natalie’s cell phone rang and it’s got a message. “Oh, hang on a minute.”

      She looks at her phone and she shouted with glee, “OMG! Tony Nicolas is at the Googleplex Mall!” Natalie made a fangirl squeal, and Agent P, Agent Ernie, and Doofenshmirtz were looking annoyed.

      Then Natalie puts away her phone. “Wait, I’m sorry, what were we doing?” Doofenshmirtz then said via video chat, “Seriously, what is it with teenage girls squealing about a boy in a mall, it’s like a cat chasing a mouse…………….I know, bad choice of concept!”

    “By the way Natalie, I see you finally meeting my nemesis Perry the Platypus for the first time, right?” Doofenshmirtz said.

      Natalie says, “Yeah, Hi Perry the Platypus.”

      Agent P chatters. Doofenshmirtz then said in monologue, “So Perry the Platypus, I think this is a completely ironic turn of events, considering how Major Monogram sent Sergei the Snail to defeat me at checkers and I was going to give Natalie Baxter a one day, three hour video chat tutoring session on being evil and coincidentally, I see that you’re with Ernie the Aardvark trying to foil her latest evil scheme through my tutoring session while at the same time so I see why, Perry the Platypus….You’re here to see Ernie’s daily battle with Natalie; their battles are just like what we always do back then 20 years ago.”

    He then turns to Natalie, “As you can see Natalie, that’s an example of monologue with your nemesis. Now you try but this time, with your latest evil scheme.”

     "I’ll try, Dr. D.” Natalie said with confidence and she approaches to a purple covering. Dark lighting and ominous music was playing.

     “So, Ernie the Aardvark, I’ve planned to remove all the power from the used battery-powered computer pads and I’ll use that power……..to recharge my own used battery-powered computer pad.”

      She walks up to a pink covered computer pad and checks up on it and sees the powers is already down to 10 percent. “Can’t believe that this things’s been going down to only 10 percent.”

     Doofenshmirtz then said, “That’s a nice idea, that way you don’t have to go to an electronics story and select any kind of power charger.”

      Natalie then continues, “And how will I do it? Well, with my new BATTERY-POWER-STEALATRON!!!!!!!!!!”

      She pulls the covering and it reveals a satellite dish with eggbeaters for the antenna. Agent P and Agent Ernie are both shocked and confused. Agent P then chatters. 

      Then Doofenshmirtz said in annoyance, “’-Atron’? Is that the suffix you give your inventions? ‘-Atron’? Really? That’s so ‘80’s.”

      Natalie then said “I like that suffix.”

      Then her phone ranged. “Hold up I got another call.” She opens it. “Oh Hi, Penny!”

     Doofenshmirtz looks at Agent P with regret, “You know, Perry the Platypus, this used to be much better if you went to stop me at checkers rather than Sergei the-”

       Then he got interrupted when being attacked by Agent S. "Okay maybe I'll call the checkers thing off and call it even, right, Sergei the Snail?

       Agent S continues to attack him. Doofenshmirtz then looks at the audience and said, “Okay, as soon as Natalie is done talking through her cell phone, we’re going to cut to commercial.”

      Then Agent P and Agent Ernie looks at the audience and Agent Ernie makes the cut gesture.
