Candace nearly hacked up a lung as she lied in bed. Her body sweaty and aching from her illness. The door to her room opened and Stacy walked in holding a bag of items.

"Hey, Candace! When I heard you were sick, I came right over! Today, I am your servant."

Candace smiled and croaked. "Gosh, what a good friend." Before hacking some more.

Stacy went through her bag. "I brought a get-well package. Miso soup. Heats itself, don't ask. 'Who Wants to be a Total Idiot 3' and... Rocky Road ice cream!" She grinned "We wouldn't want everything to be good for you. And you don't have to worry about your brothers, your mom says they're off playing miniature golf."

Phineas and Ferb rode their bikes down the rode towards Little Duffer's Miniature Golf course. Piper didn't have a bike of her own so she just stood on the back of Ferb's while holding his shoulders for balance.

Once they reached the gold course, they stopped at the front of the building where their friends were sat, moping, outside the front door.

"Hey, guys. What gives?" Phineas asked.

"Little Duffer's has closed its doors forever." Isabella told them. "And I was all set to destroy you on tye mini links."

"And I was gonna bury you on the fairway." Buford added.

Baljeet shot the bully a worried glance. "Metaphorically, right?"

Buford quickly put away the shovel he brought. "Oh, yah, right."

"But how can they close Little Duffer's?" Phineas questioned. "I've been coming here since I was little. Littler, anyway."

"Sorry, lads." Said a short, red-head Scottish man who stepped out of the building. "But Little Duffer's is officially out of business."

Piper frowned. "But... isn't this the only miniature golf course in Danville? How are you going out of business?"

"Aye. People just don't respect the game anymore. They think it's just golf in miniature. But it's not! It's miniature golf!"

"It's a sad thing when a town loses a major sports franchise." Phineas said.

"But kids today only go for the stuff that's all shiny and new and high-tech." He grumbles. "Ah, the Scotsman in me tells me to hold on stubbornly to the bitter end! But then again, I'm half Irish."

The kids all git back on the bikes and rode down the road. "This really sucks." Piper grumbled. "I was really looking forward to learning how to play."

"Me too." Phineas nodded in agreement. "This was the perfect day for miniature golf."

Ferb blinked and gave his brother a look who smirked back. Knowing what he was silently saying.

"Hey, everyone, I know what we're gonna do today!" Phineas suddenly announced to the group.

Piper stared at him for a moment before grinning. "Are we gonna build our own?!"

Phineas just smiled back. "Piper, my sister in all but blood, we promised we would teach you how to play and we keep our promises!"

The albino cheered and hugged Ferb's shoulders in excitement. The Brit blushed and couldn't stop the small smile from appearing.

They rode through the driveway of the Flynn-Fletcher house and Phineas saw their mom just about to drive the car out of the garage. "Hi, mom! We'll be out back building a miniature golf course!" He told her.
