Ch 40 of A New Redheaded Cheerleader - Book II

Chapter 40

Back at the warehouse, DNAmy continued to dance for joy, anticipating her army of mutant Cuddlebuddies that she plans to transform the entire town of Middleton into.

"And as you can see, Mayor Sash..." she grinned evily, "...once I have transformed the entire town into all 50,000 types of Cuddle Buddies in existence, I will be free to pet them whenever I want!"

"Let me guess, Dr. Hall, you want to start off transforming all my citizens into your hideous mutated stuffed animals and then you're going to take over the world by transforming them into those same things?!" Mayor Sash deducted her plan.

"Correct!" Amy giggled. "I'll have seven billion wonderful little Cuddlebuddies all around the world!"

"But what about you? Will you be turned into one of those...experiments of yours?"

"Oh, dear heavens, no! Of course not, silly!" Amy giggled. She pranced around the Mayor and then went to one of her signature machines of transforming humans into Cuddlebuddies. "That's why I am wearing this protective vest that will shield me from the effects of my zipper, so that I won't be transformed into one of my own Cuddlebuddies!"

"Wait...you're going to transform an entire city of 50,000 people with just that machine?" Mayor Sash laughed a littled, "That thing can only accomodate two people at a time! You would expect a long line for about thirty city blocks just to transform every single person in Middleton into your demented vile creatures!"

But Amy went on with her plan, hooking a familiar power coupling to the two seats "I know, Mayor! That's why I also stole a giant satellite dish from the Middleton Institute of Science and Technology and made a few...adjustments...to it!"

"What do you mean, Amy?!" Mayor Sash growled.

DNAmy, with a slight smirk, pushed a green button on a remote control. TV monitors that covered a quarter of the square area of the warehouse showed a satellite dish about 200 feet long and 100 feet wide emerging from the outskirts of Middleton hovering towards downtown. The satellite was intended to help rural parts of the Tri-State area to receive better Internet signals. A single blast was enough to cover 50 square miles. However, when Amy stole it, she transformed it into one giant refective mirror instrumental to her plan.

"Once I transform you into one of of my favorite Cuddlebuddy, the extra power from my machine would be fed into that antenna!" Amy replied, pointing to a 70-foot tall antennae on top of the warehouse. "When the satellite that I stole reaches the warehouse and the antennae generates enough juice. I will fire the excess power of my improved genetic zipper from the antennae directly into the feed horn of the satellite. As I said before, one blast from the satellite will affect an entire city! And think about all the cities I will hit next after this town! Tokyo! Paris! London! Berlin! They will all feel the wrath of plush Cuddlebuddy fur!"

"You are insane, you vile woman!" Mayor Sash shrieked.

Reveling in his comments, she then shouted, loud and clear, for all her mutant CuddleBuddies to hear.

"Today, Middleton! Tomorrow...THE WORLD!"

The kids were continuing to enjoy the bumper car ride when Buford suggested another idea.

"Hey, Phineas! Let's kick it up a notch!"

"You got it, Buford!" Phineas said, bucking up some extra seatbelts on his bumper car. "Everyone, fasten your seatbelts! It's time for us to defy the laws of physics!" He pressed a purple button on his bumper car. Metal panels began to appear on the sides of the ride. A disco ball began to appear from overhead and illuminated the room.

"What the...? What's going on here?" Kim demanded before her cell phone car went sideways on the panels.

"We're transforming the course, Kim, into our very own gravity-defying bumper car ride! Our cars can now drive sideways!"

"Now you tell me!" Kim sneered, dialing up the cell phone for Linda.

"Mrs. Flynn! Mrs. Flynn, are you there ?!" she yelled into the phone.

"She's at the Sewing convention at the Danville Convention Center!" Phineas replied while driving his bumper car on the side.

(8 1/2 hours earlier)

A knock on Candace's door was heard early in the morning. Both her and Stacy were still asleep, even though the sun was rising in the east.

"Uhhh..." Candace muttered, "...who is it?"

"It's your mom, dear!" Linda replied from outside.

"Come in..." she said groggily.

Linda opened the door, "Hey there, how's my little future Mad Dog cheerleader?"

"Doing fine!" Candace grinned. Stacy opened her eyes for the first time this morning.

"So what's on the practice agenda for today?" Linda asked.

"Backflips and tumbles are on the cheer menu for today, Mom. And speaking of which, we're gonna eat at Mr. Swirley's for ice cream afterwards!" Candace explained her schedule.

"That sounds like a good idea, sweetie!" Linda replied.

"But of course, there's also the thing with busting my brothers for their project for today!" Candace replied, debating on whether to go along with the practice or engage in her normal routine.

"Candace, enjoy your brothers' imaginations!" Linda suggested, "Anyways, me and your father are going to the Sewing Competition at the Danville Convention Center for most of today. You think you and the others can handle yourselves?"

"Sure, Mom! That won't be a problem!" Candace replied.

"And also promise that you won't call me up about some non-existent invention that I won't see in the backyard?" Linda asked, making her daughter to swear a vow.

"I promise, Mom!" Candace said, raising her right arm, swearing to uphold the promise.

Stacy intervened, saying, "You know she's going to discover a loop..."

"Quiet, Stace!" Candace whispered from her bed.

Linda stared for a moment at the two and said, "Anyways, we'll be back by at least ten since the convention is an all-day thing, plus we're helping to set up and taking down the booths."

"Okay, Mom. See you then!"

Linda closed the door right behind them.

At the Sewing Competition in the Danville Convention Center, Linda was at the judging booth when she received a call.

Linda looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Kim's number.

Li: (picks up) Hey, Kim! How's everything at the house?
K: Mrs. Flynn, you need to come home, quick! Phineas and Ferb built a floating bumper car ride in the backyard!
Li: Oh no! Don't tell me that Candace dragged you into this into trying to tattle on the boys for some un-seen thing.

K: To tell you the...urgh...just drop everything and get home quick so that you can bust Candace's brothers!

Li: Fine...I'll come home quick, but I have to get back to the sewing competition! The largest quilt part of the competition is going to be at 6:00!

Kim hung up the phone.

"Oh yeah!" she cackled, "And now...to set up a date with my Joshy-woshy-poo!"
