A/N: This fanfic is a remake of Across the 2nd Dimension, only I tweaked some parts of the story so the two stepbrothers end up in Miseryville instead of an alternate dimension.
So kick back and enjoy this awes-mazing remake of the outstanding TV movie.
After a few dramatic minutes, the Other-Dimension-inator showed...a tan couch that appeared to be in a different animation style.
"It's a...it's a couch," Doofenshmirtz said as he looked back and forth between his now pee-stained couch and the tan one in the portal. "That's a bit anti-climatic. I guess it's a nice couch, though." Then he got an idea. "What do you say we swap my couch for that one?"
Phineas looked unsure as Doofenshmirtz walked through the portal.
In the strange and unusual world, Doofenshmirtz grabbed the tan couch and tried to pull it over to the portal. "Okay, I got it," he said. "Can you give me a hand here?"
However, Phineas peered into the portal. "Whoa, awesome!" he said as he and Ferb, who was holding Perry, walked through the portal. The two stepbrothers walked over to a large window.
As Doofenshmirtz was still struggling with the couch, the portal closed as someone coughed. The evil scientist placed the couch back on the ground as he looked at a small green-skinned goblin sitting in a booth.
"Oh uh, hello," Doofenshmirtz told the goblin. "That's a very realistic-looking costume you're wearing."
"Hey Dr. D, look at this!" Phineas called out.
"Hold that thought," Doofenshmirtz told the goblin. Then the evil scientist ran over to the window Phineas and Ferb were near.
"We must be in some kind of alien world," Phineas guessed.
Phineas couldn't be any more correct. The landscape was a vast gloomy wasteland with very few patches of green and brown grass scattered in certain areas. There were also large seas of lava that appeared to be infested with giant sea monsters, active volcanoes, and tall mountains in the shape of an unknown demon. The sky was a gruesome mixture of dark red and green. There was also a very large sun and two smaller suns next to it, causing a massive heat wave. The inhabits were different kinds of monsters, demons, and zombies.
Doofenshmirtz looked at a large hovering screen that passed by. "'Welcome to Miseryville'," he read. "'Home of Lucius Heinous VII: Your Leader'."
Perry, however, looked a bit worried. "Please tell me this isn't after the world ends..." he thought.
"A whole Tri-State Area where an evil dictator is in charge!" Doofenshmirtz happily said. "Wait a minute, you two. I gotta go check something out." Then he ran over to the goblin.
"Welcome to Miseryville," the goblin asked. "I'm Samy Garvin, Mr. Heinous' indentured executive assistant. How may I help you?"
"I want to meet this supreme ruler," Doofenshmirtz explained. "Where can I find him?"
Samy's eyes widened. "Wait a minute, you're a Surface-Dweller!" he realized. "Mr. Heinous would be very interested to meet you. The last Surface-Dweller he met was too optimistic, but he might be pleased to see someone different. Please sit right here and I'll let him know about your presence."
When Doofenshmirtz sat on a chair, it automatically transported him...
...to another room in the building. A large chair that was behind a desk turned, revealing a short red demon wearing a grey business suit. This was apparently Lucius.
Both Doofenshmirtz and Lucius looked at each other in shock. "Do I know you?" Lucius asked.
"No, but I'm what your assistant calls a 'Surface-Dweller'," Doofenshmirtz answered.
"That would explain the pale skin and lack of horns," Lucius said. "But the last time I met a-"
"Yeah yeah, I know," Doofenshmirtz interrupted. "Your assistant told me how you sort of distrust 'Surface-Dwellers'. I'm different."
"How can I be sure you're telling the truth?" Lucius asked.
Doofenshmirtz shrugged. "Ask me anything," he said. "We might have some things in common."
Lucius: Do you want some rice pudding?
Doofenshmirtz: Blech, no, that's gross!
Lucius: It was a test. Almond brittle?
Doofenshmirtz: Ooh, I love it the most!

Lucius: Yeah, are they camels or sheep?
Doofenshmirtz: No, no, I meant Lorenzo
