How The Second Dimension Came to Be

Note: This story is about the second dimension. Therefore, everybody is in his or her 2D counterparts. This story takes place four years in the past.

Part 1

Phineas woke up to his alarm clock along with Ferb. The boys yawned and stretched to another beautiful day. Sunlight filtered into the room. Phineas looked at the little chubby pet at the edge of his bed who had just woken up.

"Mornin' Perry!" Phineas chimed. "And do you know why today is extra special?" Perry just chattered. Phineas took off his bedcovers, went by his pet, picked him up and hugged him.

"It's your first anniversary!" Phineas announced. "It's been exactly a whole year since we adopted you from the animal shelter with the weird OWCA acronym that till this day we still don't know what it stands for, and you become apart of our family!"

"Well technically it won't be a whole year until one in the afternoon" Ferb put in.

"True! But we'll going to have fun and celebrate all day long! Isn't that right Perry?" Again, the platypus chattered. Phineas, with Perry in his arms, jumped out of bed. His stepbrother did the same.

"This is going to be the best day ever!" Phineas explained.

After they got dressed, combed their hair and brushed their teeth, the boys, along with Perry, slid down the banister and into the kitchen where Linda was preparing breakfast.

"My, my," Lawrence said. "Aren't we excited today? What's today that has you rallied up?"

"Don't you know Dad?" Phineas asked. He stood up for his big announcement. "It's been one year since we adopted Perry from that animal shelter!"

"Oh yeah! Didn't we adopt him from that shelter with the weird acronym that none of us know what it stands for?"

"That's the one!"

"Okay you two." Linda told them. "We'll have plenty time to celebrate, now sit down and eat your waffles before they get cold." Phineas and Ferb sat down at the table and started eating their waffles.

"And for you Perry," Linda told the platypus. "You get an extra dose of worms for your breakfast. Enjoy!" She put down Perry's food bowl next to his milk bowl. Perry chattered happily and chowed down.

When Perry was licking in his milk, his watch beeped. He stood up on all fours and strolled out of the kitchen.

"Just wait until you hear what I have planned for today," Phineas said to his family in the kitchen. "First, we'll…" His voice trailed off when Perry went in the secret door in the fireplace.

As soon as Perry sat in his chair, streamers, confetti and balloons shot out. Monogram and Carl came on screen blowing noisemakers.

"Happy first anniversary with your host family, Agent P!" Carl said. "It's been a whole year since I sold you to the Flynn-Fletchers!"

"And you kept your secret from them all this time. Congratulations Agent P! I know it's hard at times keeping your alter ego a secret from the ones you love but you are doing wonders Agent P; splendid work!"

"Yeah, way to go Agent P!" Carl blew on his noisemaker again. Monogram then looked serious.

"Okay, mini celebration over! Let's get to the mission." Carl was still blowing on his noisemaker. Monogram eyed him. "Carl." Carl continued playing. "CARL!" Carl instantly stopped and put his noisemaker away.

"Can't we celebrate a little longer and have a party or something sir?" Carl asked. "I mean, Agent P did keep his secret from his family all this time. He should be honored, don't you think?"

"No Carl. We don't have time. We have to tell him about Dr. D. Evil never rests you know."

"Oh please? A little party? After he's done with Dr. D? Tonight, perhaps?" Carl looked hopeful. Monogram looked at Agent P.

"What do you think Agent P?" Perry nodded without hesitation. He thought Carl was right. He should be honored for keeping his secret from his family all this time. As long as he gets home and spends time with his family on his special day.

"Alright Agent P." Monogram looked at Carl and sighed. "Fine Carl, we can have your party." Carl squeaked like a girl and hugged his boss.

"Thank you sir! You won't be disappointed!" He looked at Perry. "I promise Agent P, I'll throw you the best anniversary party ever! I'll go get the other agents to help me set up. I'll call you when I'm ready." And with that he left on the screen. Monogram looked at Perry, who looked freaked out.

"I say Carl's more excited about this party than you are, am I right Agent P?" The now freaked out Perry nodded.

"Okay, now for your mission. Dr. Doofenshmirtz is making several robots, or "Norm-bots," and a satellite dish. We need you to, well you been with us for a year, so you know what to do!" Agent P saluted and dashed off. The screen went blank.

When Perry smashed thorough the windows and landed in his nemesis's apartment, he saw Dr. Doofenshmirtz in his usual white lab coat and goatee screwing a screw in a black flying robot with Norm's head for its head. Several others like it lay all around the room. A satellite dish was in the corner. Dr. Doofenshmirtz got up when he was done screwing the last screw in the robot.

Perry stepped forward. Right away he was pinned to the wall by a banner that read, "Doof is your supreme overload. Respect him or be destroyed."

"Aw, Perry the Platypus!" Dr. Doofenshmirtz greeted the agent. "What incredible timing. And by that I mean COMPLETELY CREDIBLE! I just finished my last Norm-bot." He went over to him.

"Like the banner? I made it myself for when I'm supreme overlord." Perry chattered madly at him. Dr. Doofenshmirtz went over to the satellite dish.

"This is my Complete-Takeover- of- the- Tri-State-Area-inator. It'll send waves throughout Danville, making people believe I'm their supreme overlord. And with the help of my Norm-bots, if anyone objects to my wishes they'll be destroyed!" Perry gaped at this.

"I know I should've made these a long time ago, but I didn't think of these until now! And the reason why I want to take over the Tri-State Area is…well you know. I told you a million times."

Perry rolled his eyes. Yes, the train story. He told him the backstory of him losing his train in his youth multiple times before. It is and still is a lame reason to take over the entire Tri-State Area. Why couldn't he get raised by ocelots or something?

"You may think taking over the Tri-State Area over the loss of my toy train is still lame Perry the Platypus." Dr. D said. "You may have defeated me time and time again, but not anymore! I am now the ruler of the entire Tri-State Area and there's nothing for you to stop me this time!" He laughed as he turned on the satellite. Invisible waves stated coming out. "You may think I was a fool but look at me now! Everyone will now bow down before me or be destroyed!" He laughed and laughed. "Oooh; I just love being evil!"

Perry then saw a rubber band from the corner of his eye and developed an idea. He grabbed the rubber band, aimed it at his nemesis and flicked it. It hit Dr. D right in the eye! The doctor screamed in pain as he covered his sore eye.

"Ow, Perry the Platypus, right in the eye too! Ow, that hurts!"

The agent platypus then escaped by cutting his way out from with scissors he picked up with the help of his tail. Dr. D looked at the freed platypus and snickered.

"Good thing I wasn't hit in the eye with those scissors. Those'll really hurt." Perry then threw the scissors at the satellite. He intended for it just to hit the satellite, but unfortunately the scissors bounced off and hit the doctor in the same eye. The doctor screamed in pain as he covered his eye. "Ow, not again!"

Perry grew wide-eyed and went to comfort the doctor.

"No, no, Perry the Platypus; I'm fine."

Perry then went to the satellite, jumped up and kicked it, smashing it to bits. He jumped out the roof window where his hover car was waiting. Dr. D uncovered his eye.

"CURSE YOU PERRY THE…OW!" He covered his eye in pain again.

A trampoline with Perry's face on it was in the center of the backyard. Ferb, Isabella, Buford and Baljeet were all bouncing on it, all having the times of their lives (except Baljeet who kept being pushed off by Buford),

"Okay, I'll look for Perry." Phineas told his friends. "I'll be right back." He went to the side of the house. "Hmm, now where could that platypus be? It figures that he'll run off but why today of all days?" He then bumped into Perry who was in pet mode. Perry chatted. Phineas looked at him and narrowed his eyes.

"There you are Perry! Why do you keep disappearing on us like this, especially today on your anniversary? Don't you love us?" Perry chattered again. The boy picked him up. "Oh, what am I saying? What a silly question! Of course you do! Now I have something to show you that Ferb and I made just for you." He rounded the corner and set Perry on the ground next to the trampoline.

"Ta da!" He explained. "A trampoline with your face on it! We call it the Platoline." Perry gazed at it. They made this just for his special day? Now he felt guilty that he wanders off everyday.

"And that's not all!" Baljeet piped up, bouncing on the trampoline. 'We also raced on the Perry Luge, played Perry Archery, Perry Curling, Perry Ice Hockey, Perry …" Buford shoved him to the ground.

"Yeah, yeah!" He said. "Basically a Perry version of the Olympics called the Perrylympics. Gosh, don't bore him Jeet. It's his special day."

Perry had tears in his eyes. What loving owners he had that went through all this trouble to do these things on his special day. Phineas picked him up and put him on the trampoline. He climbed it and stood next to him.

"Well, enjoy pal! We love you." He started bouncing. Perry smiled.

The platypus had barely begun bouncing when a laser beam hit the trampoline. The kids screamed and jumped down. The platypus was about to hop down when the trampoline collapsed on top of him! His friends gasped.

"PERRY!" Phineas shrieked. He ran to push the trampoline off of him. "Perry, are you alright?" Perry looked at him and was about to answer when all of a sudden Linda yelled in a panic.

"GET INDOORS!" She yelled. The kids went inside. Phineas carried Perry and looked at her confused. "Why? What's the matter, mom?"

"It's not safe dear." She answered. "Not with the Norm-bots around."

"What?"

"Shhh, our new leader is on TV." She pushed him gently to the TV where his friends and the rest of the family were.

"Leader? What new leader?" Linda shushed him again and Phineas had no choice but to look at the screen. He put Perry down. Perry looked at the TV and froze in terror at what he saw. Dr. Doofenshmirz was on it. But now he had a scar and an eye patch over his eye. He wore black all over.

"If you are out there Perry the Platypus, do you like my new getup? That lab coat was when I was a loser but now I'm wearing black because I'm a winner! I am now the ruler of the Tri-State Area!" He laughed evilly. He then stopped and pointed at his eye patch. "I must thank you for this eye patch and scar you gave me Perry the Platypus. It, along with the goatee makes me look even more evil! What do you say to that, Perry the Platypus?"

But all Perry could do was stare at the screen. He was frozen in fear.
