Chapter 1: Going Around The USA Not Bustin'

**General POV**

It was a nice, summer morning, 7:21 exactly, when Perry placed on his fedora, becoming Agent P. The platypus tried going into one of his secret entrances. He went to the stairs, and opened the 9th step. Unfortunately, there was only a sign that blocked the entrance, the one that turned green and red.

He chattered out of frustration since he knew what game he achieved 499,999,999 points in. Perry was thinking, Oh come on! There was no way I could have gotten 500 million points in Through The Fire and Flames! I had to use hacks just to get to 10 million! Oh, and yes, I do play Guitar Hero 3. Instead of spending 15 seconds to hack the door, like always, he just contacted Major Monogram on his wristwatch.

"Oh, so you couldn't get 500 million points in Through The Fire and Flames, Agent P?" Major Monogram taunted, which earned him a stare for 22 seconds, and a chatter. "I know that it's impossible to get 500 million points, but blame Carl."

"HEY! You used the random number generator, not me!" The unpaid intern's voice could be faintly heard.

"But it out, Carl! You're the person who helped me get it out of the 'invention' setting!" An annoyed Major Monogram countered. Agent P chattered, as he had no time to waste on their arguments. Major Monogram continued, "Anyways, Dr. Doofenshmirtz is planning on stopping all busting! You must stop him!" While Major Monogram said the word stop, Agent P wondered, Why would I have to stop him on something like that? Besides Vanessa not wanting to stop Dr. Doofenshmirtz… The only other buster is Candace, and she's 95% out of luck… So the confused Agent P gave a 'exactly-why-do-I-have-to-do-this' look to Major Monogram.

"We don't want any characters going out-of-character. It'll ruin the show! The next episode of it will come up in 13 minutes, called 'Paris Panic', I think…" The leader answered. Agent P was beyond tired of this. So he left on his flying vehicle, thinking, Exactly why do I have to do this? That episode was fake since 2009…

As Agent P carefully concealed himself from the boys, as he was flying by, he saw a machine, very similar to the machine Major Monogram and Carl were arguing about just minutes ago. All of a sudden, worry came to the platypus's mind.

**Ferb's POV**

Today, Phineas and I are building a "Brain Reader" machine. We got that idea from a machine that automatically thinks up ideas for you. Baljeet believed that it was a fortune teller. Let me start with the time we found this machine in our backyard.

After eating with our friends, minus Isabella and Irving (we permanently kicked him out, and got a restraining order), I was the first to find the machine, so I just guided them to it. I cannot tell much about the machine, as it really is nothing special. Buford gets pumped since Baljeet loves machines like these, so he gives Baljeet a wedgie, again.

"Don't you dare say anything about the mechanics or codes of this machine! Not after last time!" Shouted Buford, in an angry-but-not-really tone.

"Actually, I believe that this is a fortune teller. I've heard that machines like this can predict what may happen from a 50 minute time-span from the moment it is used.' Baljeet recited, in a tone when people tell myths.

"I don't believe you." Buford said, very slowly, backing away from the machine. "Let's bet on this! Loser has to get wedgies by the winner 25 times throughout the day."

"FINE!" Baljeet quickly responded in a shouting tone.

Right then, I bet my 25 dollars in front of Phineas. "Oh? So you wanna bet who is going to win?" Phineas said in a mocking tone. I simply nod, and then point to his right pocket, which contained 25 dollars. "Okay then, the loser will lose $25 to the winner." I then immediately get into fighting stance, just to point out that I'm serious.

It was stuck at 'numbers' setting at first, but after Buford took part in some 47 minutes of pushing a lever to get it back to the 'invention' setting. Man was that tricky. I still wondered about why Isabella would be late, when all of a sudden…

"Hello, Ferb." Came out Isabella's voice, somewhat cute, but that's Phineas's comment, not mine. There's just something...wrong with that hello, but I cannot find it out myself… I gave a simple wave, and she began saying something. "There's just something I needed to tell you. Gretchen, Katie, Milly and I would be busy all 4 weeks trying to collect our 'Around-The-USA' patches." As she was about to say something else, I gave an 'are-you-sure' face because that seems suspicious, since she would have to take the entire troop first. She responded, "Yes, I am sure. Just tell Phineas that I'll be gone for 4 weeks, okay?"

Then finally, I say, "But why just Gretchen, Katie, Milly, and you?" I made sure that I said it in a very serious tone to make sure that Isabella understood my concern.

"The others refused on this patch." Was all she could utter before leaving the house, very quietly. I felt disappointed from this news, no Gretchen for 4 straight weeks...wait a minute. Am I actually, no, this would be the regular reaction for any friend. I walk very slowly through the living room and the kitchen to go out through the glass doors.

"Phineas. Isabella's not going to be here for 4 weeks." I said in the same serious tone I used against Isabella.

**General POV**

Agent P arrived at the Doofenshmirtz's Evil Incorporated building, and immediately jumped off his flying vehicles into a window. He rolled enough to enter Dr. Doofenshmirtz's trap, which is just straps holding down Agent P's hands and feet. Suddenly, a very elderly voice shouted, "Oh, if it isn't Perry the Platypus! Are you trying to bust me for what I do?" As he said those words, Agent P thought, Yes, I am trying to bust you. Except I do it right, unlike someone I know… He also gave a disapproving face.

"Anyways, I am tired of Vanessa trying to bust me all the time, so you know what?! I reveal…" Dr. Doofenshmirtz uncovers the machine concealed by the curtains, before he continued. "...the Non-Bust-Inator!" Agent P immediately squirmed at the appearance of no backstory.

The scientist in the lab coat sighed, and then began saying something, "What? I already told you about my backstory. You didn't catch it?" Agent P then thought, Oh, about the part about Vanessa? That's the backstory…? Really?! You had to hide it from me? What are you, Dr. Doofenshmirtz?!

"I think you did, so obviously, anyone shot with this ray will no longer feel the need to bust!" He happily grinned when he shouted this… While Perry just gave a 'do-you-believe-that-this-is-actually-going-to-work' face. "Now for a test run, I'll shoot random out into the sky!"

Just on cue, Perry just slide his hands and feet out carefully. Right after that, like any other time, he kicked Dr. Doofenshmirtz in the face, while hitting the self-destruct button, before Dr. Doofenshmirtz actually got to use the ray. Just as Agent P escaped, he flew with his jetpack, hearing the usual, "CURSE YOU PERRY THE PLATYPUS!" With that, he placed his last thoughts on his mission, Wow. He's really gone weak. There's no fighting for today… Way too early. Hey, what time is it anyways? 2 o'clock?! I should walk home instead then. He then landed on the road, some 4 miles from the Flynn-Fletcher house.

His wristwatch began to flash, over and over again. Suddenly, after accepting the voice call, a quick and somewhat scared Major Monogram screamed, "Someone in your host family has went out of character! What will I do now?!"

Oh dear no, who could it be this time? Last time, Linda got very...funky...I should say. It couldn't be…!

**?'s POV**

I was sitting with Gretchen only because she suggested that the things we were going to do were not good for the kids. We were in a bus, somewhere in Missouri, when I questioned Gretchen's actions. I had no idea where we were going, but I hoped it was good. She was my friend, but I felt like it was more than that, and so did she. However, I just have one thing to ask her.

"Gretchen...?"

"Yes, dear?"

"Are we actually going to marry each other...?"

"Yes, yes we are going to get married together."

Good.

The end of chapter 1. Please R&R, and have a good day! All real constructive criticism will be accepted. So far, something is wrong here.

Tentative Preview:

"'I hope that things don't go bad within anyone…' Was all I heard from mom…as we exited my house."

Small Fact:

In this story, Major Monogram and Dr. Doofenshmirtz watch "Phineas and Ferb: The Spin-Off." With all the characters from "Phineas and Ferb" starred inside that series.
