#grulinda

and here we have our line-up! from left to right, we have neighbor kenny replacing baljeet, big black boots boris the bully replacing buford, roger replacing candace, grulinda replacing isabella, heinz replacing phineas, and (human) perry replacing ferb. it works i promise (i have thought about this way too much).

same concept of two creative boys spending their summer vacation. BUT. the boys are not step-brothers; they’re neighbors.

there’s one talkative idea man, one quiet man of action type from another country. BUT. the idea man is a young heinz doofenshmirtz and the quiet kid is perry the human being fostered in gimmelshtump.

a girl with a crush on idea man comes over. BUT. it’s grulinda. with a water bucket. “hey, heinz! watcha doin?” “oh, hi grulinda, we were just about to OW!”

a big bully guy comes over. BUT. it’s Big Black Boots Boris the Bully. the sand guy

an awkward nerd comes over. BUT. it’s the doofenshmirtzes’ neighbor kenny. why? because he has a name and i like his vibes.

the sibling tries to show big ideas to the parents. BUT. roger’s reasons aren’t the same as candace’s. first - if the inventions are revealed, perry is deemed a bad influence, banned from coming over, and heinz has to pay attention to roger again. second - roger the perfect five year old is not used to things not going his way. and lastly - heinz insists it will never happen.

and he’s right! the parents still never see. BUT. they think heinz is the one putting roger up to the busting. why else would roger lie? anyway, heinz is too lazy to do anything that unbelievable.

the family pet lives a bizarre double life. BUT. onlyson isn’t a secret agent; he’s just sneaking off to participate in drusselstein’s politics. he’s a dog politician. he’s involved in dark stuff. the royal family wants him gone.

and finally, the pet’s bizarre double life somehow leads to the inventions vanishing. BUT. it’s kind of heinz’s fault as he almost always insists on self-destruct-buttons. the buttons are hidden in increasingly secure places, but somehow onlyson’s shenanigans evading the drusselstein palace guard always lead to them being pushed.
