Over at DEI, Phineas was having a discussion with his dad about tonight's party.

"Phineas Vincent Doofenshmirtz, for the last time, you are NOT going to carry that knife of yours with you during tonight's party!" Doofenshmirtz hollered.

"And why not?" Phineas asked. "You always let me carry it wherever I go."

"Because I want you to have fun for once in yout life," Doofenshmirtz explained. "And I refuse to let you wear that outfit at a formal party."

Phineas looked at a nearby mirror. He was wearing a dark grey t-shirt, black shorts, and black boots. "Then what do you expect me to wear?" he asked.

"I will have a Normbot escort you to Men's Warehouse," Doofenshmirtz explained. "I already scheduled you for a fitting this afternoon."

"You want me to wear a suit?" Phineas asked. "In case you didn't notice, I don't tend to go with the flow."

A Normbot entered the room. "Oh good, you must be the escort," Doofenshmirtz said. "Please take my son to Men's Warehouse for a fitting."

"As you wish," the Normbot replied, then it led Phineas outside.


Meanwhile, Vanessa showed Ferb and Isabella a tunnel that led to Macy's, which was abandoned ever since Doofenshmirtz took over Danville. Fortunately, the store wasn't cleared out, so anyone who managed to get in could get anything they want for free. Right now, the three friends were selecting outfits for tonight's party.

"Seriously, cuz?" Vanessa asked Isabella. "You can't wear THAT plain dress and call it an outfit."

"Why not?" Isabella impatiently asked.

"Because Candace wants us to wear disguises," Vanessa explained. "That thing you chose is like wearing your Resistance uniform. Everyone will know it's you."

"What about Ferb?" Isabella asked.

"He's fine," Vanessa said. "He wears sunglasses as part of his Resistance uniform, so all he needs is a suit and no one will recognize him."

"But it's not like you need to wear anything fancy," Isabella said. "You don't even leave HQ."

"But I want to wear something special," Vanessa said. "I enjoy attending parties, and part of the fun is wearing a pretty dress."

"Please remember that this ISN'T a fun thing," Isabella said as she facepalmed herself. "Candace ordered us to make sure Doofenshmirtz doesn't realize the factories are being attacked."

"Well, that's what you think," Vanessa said as she resumed searching through the racks. "I just can't wait to have fun."
