| - Linda: So you really don't know what day it is? Lawrence: I told you, it's Thursday. Linda: It is more than just another Thursday, Lawrence. Lawrence: Then it must be...the day I realized how cute you are when you're angry? (Phineas and Ferb stare at each other) Linda: I'm going to get my hair done. I'll be back at 2. Maybe you can figure it out before I get home. Lawrence: Oh, I wonder what all the fuss is about. Candace: Ahem. Lawrence: Huh? Candace: June 15th. It's your wedding anniversary! Lawrence: Ooh! Egads! Wait, wait! I can fix this! Phineas: Gee, Candace, isn't this a lot of fuss to make over a date? Candace: Are you kidding? Anniversaries are very important. Take June, for example. On the 3rd, Jeremy spoke to me for the first time back in the 7th grade. May 6th, he brushed up against me in the hall. Oh, and April 3rd - that's the day he laughed so hard, milk came out of his nose! (laughs) He looked so cute. Phineas: Hey, Dad, can we help? Lawrence: Well, I'm afraid not, unless you can perform miracles. Phineas: What's your budget? Lawrence: Tell, me boys, what would you get a special woman on her anniversary? Candace: Oh, please! Asking two boys for romantic advice? Now that's just pathetic. Don't you and Mom have any cherished memories? Lawrence: Oh, yes. I've got just the thing in here. (begins rummaging around in his toolbox) Candace: (at Phineas and Ferb, under her breath) He keeps his treasured memories in a toolbox. Lawrence: Your mother's favorite band. Love Händel. (Flashback to Linda and Lawrence in the crowd in a huge stadium, looking much younger and wearing very 90's clothing.) (rock ballad) Lawrence: (voice over) I bought us tickets to their farewell concert. Oh, we were a handsome, stylish couple back in those days. Danny: So which lucky couple out there will be caught in our flamin' hot spotlight of love? (The spotlight hits Linda and Lawrence, who both look surprised.) Lawrence: (voice over) I'd never so much as held your mother's hand, but that night, I made my move. Danny: Well, don't just stand there, man. Kiss her. (Lawrence looks up at Danny, still confused, but Linda kisses him. The crowd cheers.) Danny: ♪ You snuck your way right into my heart ♪ (End flashback...) Lawrence: Truly that was an evening I will never, ever forget. Candace: But you did forget, didn't ya? Lawrence: (groans) But Love Händel broke up years ago. Some things can never be recaptured. Phineas: That's it! I know what we're gonna do today. We're gonna make it their best anniversary ever. Hey, where's Perry? (Perry enters his lair and puts on his fedora.) Major Monogram: Ah, there you are, Agent P. We've learned some alarming information. Several suspicious items have been purchased by the Doofenshmirtz Corporation. They include: an industrial-grade air compressor, 20 canisters of helium oxide and 400 pounds of fireworks. Get right on it. ♪ Perry! ♪ (Back at home, the boys are watching a documentary on Love Händel.) Narrator: (over a rock ballad) For a moment, their ballad, "Snuck Your Way Into My Heart", snuck its way to number one and stayed there for 11 consecutive minutes. But whatever happened to Love Händel? The band was riding high, but tastes were changing, and Love Händel found itself playing smaller and smaller venues. Pressures from a dwindling fan base caused in-fighting among the band members. Lines were drawn. Then lines were crossed. Eventually the lines were erased, and the piece of paper crumpled up and thrown away, and Love Händel was no more. Years later, Love Händel's music continues to warm the hearts of an appreciative public. Bass player Bobbi Fabulous now runs a trendy hair salon, drummer Swampy works quietly at the public library, and only lead singer Danny is still a player in the music industry. (The screen shows a picture of Danny's Music Shop.) Candace: I've seen that sign. It's down on Main Street. Phineas: We'll get him to sing for Mom! Ready, team? (holds out his hand) Candace: Team? Oh, no, I am not getting involved in one of your crazy schemes. Phineas: Come on, Candace. For true love? (Blinks at her pleadingly) Candace: Ugh! (She puts her hand on top of Phineas' anyway.) Phineas: Candace, you keep Mom away from the house. We'll go get Danny. (Lawrence is searching for a short notice solution to his anniversary problem in the phone book.) Lawrence: Ooh. "Love on the Run. Romantic solutions for every occasion." Phineas: (overlapping) Hey, Dad, we're gonna throw a rock concert in the backyard, okay? Lawrence: Yes. Well, be careful. Phineas: Come on, Ferb. Candace: (cell phone rings) Oh, hey, Stacy. I can't talk right now. My brothers and I are reforming Love Händel for a concert in our backyard. Stacy: Love Händel? That's my mother's favorite band! (phone beeps) Hey, Mom, did you know Love Händel is reforming? Dr. Hirano: Love Händel? (expands to numerous people talking) Love Händel? Love Händel? Love Händel? ♪ Doofenshmirtz Abandoned Self Storage! ♪ (Perry's theme is playing, rock-style, until he lands his jetpack and sees what Doofenshmirtz is doing. Rather than something evil, he is hanging a large sign reading "Happy Birthday, Vanessa!" A record needle scratches.) Doofenshmirtz: (gasps) Perry the Platypus. Quick, could you hand me that staple gun right over there? Thank you. Ahh... So what do you think? It's for my daughter Vanessa's birthday. I try to throw her a party every year. (He pulls out a roll of pictures, each with an unhappy Vanessa at an excessively girly party.) I know we usually go about our daily battle of good versus evil, but instead, could you maybe help me set up the party for my little girl? Please? (A montage of Doofenshmirtz and Perry setting up for the party plays to a bouncy song.) Phineas: Danny's Music Shop. Ferb, this looks like the place. Danny: (♪ strumming) No. No. No. No. No. This is a rock-'n'-roll guitar for rock-'n'-roll music. Customer: Whatever. Danny: Okay, run. The power of rock too scary for you, I see. Phineas: Uh, you must be Danny of Love Händel, right? Danny: Always an honor to be recognized by my fans. Hey, aren't you a little young to be fans of Love Händel? Phineas: Yes, we are, but our parents aren't. Don't you think you were a little tough on that guy? Danny: Oh, he'll be back... when the spirit calls him! Phineas: Wow, you sure are passionate about rock-'n'-roll. Danny: Well, it's only my life. Sit down, I'll tell you a little story.

Phineas: You know, our parents fell in love at one of your concerts. Danny: See? Music does change lives. Phineas: Well, how'd you like to sing for our parents' wedding anniversary? Danny: That'd be righteous, dude, but good luck getting the other guys. Phineas: Who can resist the power of rock-'n'-roll? Danny: Love Händel reunion. Rock on, little dudes. Customer: The spirit of rock'n'roll has called out to me! Danny: I knew it. That'll be $1,800. (Back at the Flynn-Fletcher residence, the "Love on the Run" van has pulled up at the curb.) Lawrence: Oh, thank goodness you're here. Love On the Run Driver: Love On the Run at your service, my friend. So, what did you forget today? Lawrence: (inhales) Anniversary. Love On the Run Driver: Ooh, the big one. Love On the Run Performer: ♪ It's your anniversary...oh, yeah, your anniversary... ♪ Love On the Run Driver: That's your Love-O-Gram. I'll get the rest of your stuff out of the truck. (Doofenshmirtz and Perry have just finished decorating for Vanessa's party.) Doofenshmirtz: Ooh, that was exhausting. Ah. I have one last surprise for our lovely guest. This will be the grand finale of Vanessa's party - the world's largest firecracker! All we need now is a victim to be tied to the rocket so they'll explode up in the sky in a grand display! So, here's the awkward part. Uh... (camera pans over to the firecracker, which Doofenshmirtz has tied Perry to) And when I say "awkward," I mean for you, not so much for me. (Linda is at the hair salon of - who else? - Bobbi Fabulous.) Linda: So I wonder what new look Bobbi has envisioned for me this time. You know, he was in my favorite band - Love Händel. Candace: Love Händel? Linda: He doesn't like anyone to talk about it, though... (Candace's phone rings. It's Phineas.) Linda: ...so don't bring it up. Candace: Uh, I gotta take this. (whispers) How's it going? Phineas: We got Danny. Now we're gonna convince Bobbi Fabulous. And if we can't, well, Ferb's got a backup plan. Candace: Wait. Bobbi Fabulous is Mom's hairdresser. Where are you right now? Phineas: Walking in the front door of Bobbi's salon-(realizes) Oh. Candace: You doofuses! Mom's gonna see you and wonder what you're up to! Phineas: You gotta keep Mom distracted while we talk to Bobbi. Candace: Say, Mom, maybe we should get you ready for Bobbi. Linda: Candace, what are you doing? Candace: You look like you need some conditioner! Linda: Candace! Candace: Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up! Fabiana: Do you have an appointment? Phineas: Uh, no. We're here to see Bobbi. You know, the bass player from the band Love Händel. (all gasp) (muffled shouting) I'm fabulous ♪ Bobbi: Fabiana, who are these little people? Fabiana: I don't know, sir. Bobbi: You're a mess. And you... Feudal Europe is so last month. Phineas: We're trying to get Love Händel back together. Bobbi: Oh, for heaven's sake, talk to the hand. Bobbi's Hand: Secretly I'm very lonely. Phineas: You see, the first time my dad kissed my mom was at a Love Händel concert. And it's their anniversary- Bobbi: B to the O-R-I-N-G. Phineas: Not yet, Ferb. Bobbi: Anyway, you don't need me. I just play bass in the background. Nobody even remembers me. Phineas: Are you kidding?
