Doofenshmirtz’s Valentines Day Surprise

By: Danielle Kerrigan, Amanda Burchell and Kirsten Taylor

Doofenshmirtz had an evil mind, but a loving heart. It was Valentine’s day morning and he had not bought his wife a present. Since Doofenshmirtz usually goes over the top, he wanted to get her the best present in the world. Doofenshmirtz’s wife, Gina, loves to get flowers and plants from her husband.

Doofenshmirtz had an evil plan. He decided that since he hates the carbon cycle and wants to make his wife happy that he would accomplish both. He made a plan to take all the plants of the world from the carbon cycle and make photosynthesis unable to occur in the world!

Doofenshmirtz doesn’t like the carbon cycle because it is part of all biological molecules and all living things have carbon. He wants carbon destroyed because it is getting more popular than helium and Doofenshmirtz loves to decorate his house with balloons and balloons need helium. The carbon cycle must be destroyed! But…his mission needs to be completed by today!

All of a sudden a thought came to Doofenshmirtz’s mind. He would make a super sized suction cup that pulls the plants up right from their roots and attract them to the Tristate Area. If Doofenshmirtz could get help from Smurf he would be able to make this machine in exactly one hour.

So he went to get Smurf from his evil lair. They started building the machine using billions of tiny suction cups. After an hour of hard labor, his plan was complete. He ran to the top of the Empire State Building and turned on his evil machine.

Doofenshmirtz hit the on button. The earth started shaking and all the producers were flying onto the suction cup of his evil machine! His plan had worked! He had ruined the carbon cycle once and for all.

The production of fossil fuels over a long period of time could no longer be made which means that combustion, the burning of fossil fuels could no longer occur. No longer could sugar molecules be broken down into respiration and the breaking down of dead materials could no longer be broken down into carbon dioxide and water by decomposition. His evil plan really would ruin the cycle for good!

As Doofenshmirtz was celebrating his great work of destroying the water cycle, out of the blue, Perry the Platypus came bursting in through the top window of the Empire State Building. With great triumph, he kicked Doofenshmirtz in the face as he swung in on a rope!

Doofenshmirtz had been defeated but Perry the Platypus now had the problem. He had to figure out how to get all the plants back to the world so that the carbon cycle could continue and have photosynthesis but how?

Perry took a look at the machine and realized there was a reverse button! As he was going to hit it Doofenshmirtz came running at him. Perry was to quick for him though and hit it in time. All of the sudden the earth started to rumble and shake. The machine released the flowers to their original places. After about five minutes all the flowers were back in their spots. Perry the Platypus had saved the day once again and the Carbon Cycle was saved!

GlossaryFossil Fuels: A nonrenewable energy

resource that forms in the Earth’s crust over millions of years from the buried remains of once living organisms.

Respiration: When sugar molecules are broken down to release energy.

Combustion: The process of burning fossil fuels.

Photosynthesis: The process by which carbon cycles from the environment into living things.

Decomposition: The break down of dead materials into carbon dioxide and water.
