Run Away Runway

join Gaston Le Mode's runway, and their outfits become the newest fashion trend. Dr. Doofenshmirtz creates clones of himself so they can wait in line for him.

Episode Summary
Phineas sees Candace watching Gaston Le Mode's fashion show on television. He asks Candace why anyone would want to wear such ridiculous designs, and this gives Phineas an idea. He tells Ferb that he knows what they're going to do today: they're going to become fashion designers. They receive help for their designs from Isabella, and soon they are ready. When they arrive at the Googolplex Mall, Phineas and Ferb apply for Gaston LeMode's fashion designers. Meanwhile, backstage, Gaston LeMode is having a hard time looking for someone with such a long neck to wear his new design.

His assistant finds Candace and shows her to Gaston, and he immediately applies Candace for a model for his runway. Gaston LeMode dresses her in his unusually long neck fashion, and names her his "cou de crayon". Candace is flattered and agrees to walk the runway for him but is interrupted by Phineas and Ferb.

Phineas and Ferb show Gaston their designs. Gaston likes it and tells Candace to cancel her design and to wear Phineas and Ferb's creation. Candace storms out and meets Stacy, who is wearing a new Ferb costume. She tells Candace that Gaston LeMode's designs are so 42 seconds ago and goes off to buy the real Ferb shoes. Candace looks over and sees the "in" store filled with Phineas and Ferb designs. Before long, the whole Danville is sporting their fashions.

Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz is in his blimp. He has created a Copy-and-Paste-inator to make clones of himself. He releases them at the Googolplex Mall. Everyone sees the clones wearing pharmacist clothes and immediately uses them as their fashions. Perry watches Doofenshmirtz press the Delete All button and all of his clones disappear. When Candace shows her mom the ground floor of the mall, it looks like a pharmacist convention.

Gaston tells Phineas and Ferb that he will take all the credit for the pharmacist look and that their fashions are so 3 minutes and 47 seconds ago. Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, and their mom go off to lunch while Candace is left saying that she'll always be Gaston LeMode's cou de crayon. Ferb tells her that's French for pencil neck.
