Moments like These

A/N: I came up with the idea for this Phineas and Ferb fan fic while watching none other than an episode of Phineas and Ferb. I hope you like this story- I haven't had much experience with Phineas and Ferb fan fiction, or fan fiction at all. Well, I hope you enjoy! :)

Chapter One: Isabella

June 6, 2012

Isabella walked down the road, lost in thought. Was today the day that Phineas would finally realize what a cute couple they would make? Would he ever? It seemed like she asked herself these questions every day on the way to find out what Phineas and Ferb were doing. As she got closer to the gate, she heard loud banging, the hiss of a drill, and a lot of talking. Isabella smiled. It was another regular day in Danville, well at least the start of it.

Isabella opened the gate and trotted into her friends' back yard. In her normal sing-song voice she asked, "Whatcha doin'?"

"Oh, hi Isabella," answered Phineas' voice, "we're just working on an exotic petting zoo. Want to help? We could really use it." Phineas' smile gave Isabella chills, up and down. She draped her head to the side, sighed, and muttered "Sure." dreamily.

"Great!" Phineas said, snapping Isabella out of her trance. "You might need work gloves, so I'll look go look for some." Phineas began to leave the back yard as he talked.

Isabella sighed and sat down under the big tree. She was just about to doze off when she saw something move in the corner of her eye. It looked like Perry, but not the normal Perry. It was no doubt a platypus, either that or an aqua colored beaver with a duck bill taped on its mouth. Isabella highly doubted the second option, however. But the odd thing about this platypus is that it seemed to be standing on its hind legs, with something brown and black on its head, which gave Isabella another sprinkle of chills because those colors should never be seen together. She opened her eyes a little bit more, just enough to see that the thing on top of the animal's head was a fedora. She opened her eyes all the way, but was shocked and confused about what she saw. It was indeed a platypus, but not just any platypus. It was Perry.

Isabella got up slowly. She had seen that hat before. On the first day of summer, Phineas and Ferb decided to build a roller coaster and while she was riding it, Perry mysteriously landed from somewhere right beside her. Then, Phineas had complemented her hat, which she wasn't wearing before, that looked just like the one she saw on Perry now.

Isabella knew that this would probably back fire later, but she decided to follow Perry. Perry walked to the side of the house, did a quick look around, and pressed some kind button and a small section of the house rose to make a Perry sized hole. Inside was a tube that led straight down.

After Perry had gone through, Isabella peeked inside and was immediately sucked into it. Once the tube spit her out behind a small hovercraft, she looked around. She was a room with white walls, and lots of small high tech equipment. A large screen on the wall displayed a man with white hair and a huge mustache. He had a gray eyebrow that stretched all the way across is wrinkled forehead. He wore a green shirt that had two M's on the right hand side. There was something familiar about him, Isabella just knew it. Sitting in an animal sized red chair in front of the big screen was Perry, wearing that cute fedora, although it was a crime against fashion.

The white haired man said something about someone named Doofenshmirtz buying lots of light bulbs, rubber bands, and getting some kind of portal blueprints. He also said something about Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated. He said more, but it was difficult for Isabella to hear him well from so far away.

After Perry waddled away and the screen went blank, Isabella came out from behind the small hover craft she had been hiding behind. She didn't know where she was, what she was doing, what Perry was doing, and how to get out of this strange, animal sized lair. Isabella was just about investigate further, but a big blast interrupted her thinking. Perry had taken off in a bigger version of the smaller one she had hid behind. Right next to it was another hover craft. Isabella walked forward.

As she approached the craft, she noticed a small GPS. It had green blinking words flashing on the screen that said 'Please enter destination'. A woman's voice read the words aloud repeatedly. Suddenly a great idea dawned on Isabella. This craft could be her ride out! She got in and said, "Flynn- Fletcher Household." Nothing happened. She decided that maybe she should go to that place the old man mentioned. Isabella was on her way to Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated!

Isabella figured that the miniature GPS would tell her where to go like normal GPS's would and that she would steer. However, this was not the case. As soon as the words 'Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated' left her mouth, the hover craft launched straight into the air, out of a tube on the ceiling, and zoomed towards a big purple building that looked vaguely like Ferb's head. Isabella giggled. Maybe this was all just a little game Phineas was playing with her. Maybe he wasn't really getting gloves. Maybe he hadn't been working on a petting zoo, or had extra time after building that strange room that seemed to be under the Flynn Household. Maybe this was just all a big misunderstanding. But Isabella soon realized that this thought wasn't even an option.

When Isabella arrived at the building, Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, she walked right in and said, "Okay guys, nice trick. That was a fun ride. Thanks for putting this together for me!" She walked further and went into another room. Then she gave her legendary 'I'm going to impress Phineas Flynn so he'll finally realize that I like him' smile.

"What? There's no trick. But I do have some muffins! Norm! Bring in some muffins for this little fireside girl!"said a tall, well he would be if he didn't slouch, man with brown hair, brown eyes, and a really pointy nose. He had some kind of German accent and he wore grey pants, a black shirt, and a white lab coat. After he was done calling to his apparent servant, he mumbled, "So maybe she'll give me some free cookies!" under his breath.

"Um, sir," Isabella said getting his attention, "my name's Isabella. Are you a friend of Phineas and Ferb?"

"Who? Never heard of them. Well since you're here you should just sit down, and you know, have a muffin, give out some free cookies." The man said, talking slower and lower as he got further through the sentence.

"I don't have any. But thanks, I'd love to have a muffin! That might help me figure out what's going on. Oh, and by the way, do you by any chance need help crossing the street? I need to earn my walk an elder across the street patch." Isabella said, talking almost as fast as Phineas when he was really excited about something.

"I am not an elder! And if you don't have any cookies then I just ran out of seats. Humph." The man said, turning his head to the side. Isabella was going to go for her argue with an elder patch, but something caught her eye. She exclaimed, "Hey, what's that over there?" and ran to a human sized scrap book with a platypus, that looked oddly like Perry wearing a fedora, some how hooked/taped to it.

"Perry? Is that you?" Isabella asked, quite worried. She thought for sure that the platypus was Perry but when the little platypus chattered, she was positive. Perry was some kind of secret agent! This must be where Perry goes off to every day! With this conclusion, Isabella guessed that this man's name was Doofenshmirtz (hopefully that was his last name!) and that he was evil. Perry must go and fight this evil elderly man every day! Then a crazy thought hit her. If he was evil, she could be in danger. By the look of where Perry was, he was really trapped, and couldn't help her if the man tried to come at her.

Isabella knew what she had to do. She had to get Perry out and help him defeat this man, even though she was sure that she didn't want to hurt an elder, even though he was evil and grumpy. She pushed away the thought and went to work on letting Perry out.

"Hey! Hey! Little girl! Stop that he's supposed to be there! He likes it! Don't touch!" Doofenshmirtz yapped. "I should put up a sign." He mumbled under his breath on his way over.

Isabella pulled on the straps around his arms. She hit the metal bar around his waist and kicked the ones at his feet. She noticed a big red button and was about to push it when Doofenshmirtz swooped in and scooped her up.

"Ah!" Isabella yelled as she was placed in chair. As soon as she landed, cuffs came out of the chair and locked her in.

"Goodness! You children are difficult. Good thing I live in an apartment. I never have to yell at rotten children to get out of my lawn." The man smiled, obviously not realizing that he had basically just called himself an cranky old man.

"Okay, so I guess I'll tell the both of you my evil scheme! Okay let's start with a back story. When I was a boy, my father had a large garden. Eventually, crows infested his garden but we had no scare crow to scare them off. I was forced to be the scare crow as just as the Doonkleberry Festival went on. So now, I will use my new creation, the generationinator, to go back in time and enjoy the festival. And while I'm at it, I'll leave you, Perry the platypus in the past so that I never have to fight you again!" Doofenshmirtz exclaimed. Then he laughed evilly and switched on his creation. A ball of many colors swirled into existence.

By this point, Perry's arms were almost free, although Isabella had no idea how to get Perry's body and legs free. Perry bit at the straps and soon both straps had broken in half. He reached over and pressed the red button. All the metal cuffs in the room, including Isabella's, retracted. Perry lunged at Doofenshmirtz, but the scientist was too fast. He grabbed Perry's arm and cuffed his own hand to Perry's. By this time, the portal to the past was open, and just before Doofenshmirtz lunged into the portal, he grabbed Isabella's hand. The three of them went into the portal of swirling lights and colors.
