While I’m not getting as wildly fanciful in this story as I did in my other P&F dream story, “Sweet Dreams,” I definitely wanted Phineas and Candace to take advantage of the freedom that the dream environment gives them. I also wanted to dig into the potential complexities of the neurotic Candace’s psyche. Exactly. And given that this story shows a lot of male domination and female submission, I thought there should be at least one scenario that showed the opposite. Physical affection among the members of the family is something that I always felt was lacking on the show. So I’m making up for that a bit here. Phineas ages himself because he wants to make Candace feel secure in the knowledge that he has all the power—and, thus, all the responsibility--in the situation. Exactly. There’s a kind of parallel here between this chapter and chapter 4: Phineas is going outside his comfort zone to give Candace what she needs, just as Ferb did for Linda. I appreciate the effort! We’ll get into that a bit more in the last chapter. That bit was meant to be an amusing aside, and also to show that Phineas’ mind contains the barest beginnings of his adult sexuality (even if it will be years before his attraction for Isabella manifests itself consciously). But I see where you’re coming from. Thanks for the review!

Given Candace's tendency freak out over everything, I figured that her guilt over her illicit desires would be paralyzing for her--even in terms of the fantasies she allows herself to have. So she created a "safe" fantasy in which she and Phineas do all the things she wants to do with him, but without her being responsible. Phineas never does anything halfway. Thanks! The unreality of the dream environment makes it easier for Candace to open up to Phineas (as it were), and vice versa. You will find out. And thanks for another great review.

Re: “Country Summer” One thing I've learned from my time on AdultFanFiction is that there are plenty of gals out there who like the M/M thing, and I figured Geraldine would, too. Also, their activity in this chapter is a hint that bisexual behavior is pretty normal among country folk in Geraldine's universe. They generally make an effort to be equitable with each other. Keeps the peace. You won't have long to wait!
