30 Worlds, Episode Two: "What We're Gonna Do Today"
CHAPTER FOUR
William landed on the lawn of the Flynn-Fletcher home and dropped off Perry. "'William, you must know that Major Monogram and I had anticipated your arrival in our world,'" Sofia translated. "'I have also been authorized to inform you that Phineas, Ferb and Isabella's memories of the 2nd Dimension Incident are to be restored in order for them and I to properly assist you in your battles against the A.I.C.'"
"The memories that they know you're a secret agent?"William asked. "'Yes,'" Sofia translated. "'By the way, before we get underway, how is it that you can understand what I am saying?'"
"My fiancee, Princess Sofia I of Enchancia, whom I communicate with via these sunglasses and their attached communications system, wears a magical amulet that allows her to speak to and understand animals," William said, pointing to his sunglasses. As he took them off, his flight suit dissolved, revealing William's original clothing.
"'I see,'" Sofia said. "'I look forward to meeting this ''Sofia'' in person.'" "And you will, Perry. Quite soon, as a matter of fact," William said. He gestured for Perry to turn around. Perry did, giving him his first sight of Sofia.
"Hello, Perry," Sofia said. "It's a pleasure to meet you in the flesh at last." Perry smiled, then clucked out something. "Perry says, 'You're cute. If you weren't already engaged to William, I'd snap you up in an instant,'" Sofia translated. Then, to Perry, she said, "Why, thank you for the compliment, Perry."
"Let's go pick up Phineas, Ferb and Isabella," William said. "But first...Sofia, do you have the device?" Sofia smiled, then handed William a small silver device with a blue tip. "Thanks. Let's go," William said.
Perry went back into his cover form and followed William and Sofia up to the door. William rang the doorbell. Lawrence Fletcher answered and opened the door. "May I help you?" he asked.
"Mr. Fletcher, my name is Jayden Heartman and this is my fiancee, Mia Crossman. We just moved in across the street and wanted to introduce ourselves," William said, gesturing to himself, Sofia and their safe house.
"Ah, yes, Jayden and Mia. My son and step-son told me a lot about you," Lawrence said, gesturing for them to go in the house. "But, what are you doing with their pet platypus?"
"We found Perry walking around loose as we were walking around, introducing ourselves to the rest of the neighborhood," Sofia said. Perry clucked, but covering her ability to speak to him, Sofia just smiled.
"Kids, our new neighbors are here," Lawrence yelled. Phineas and Ferb came down the stairs. "Jayden! Mia! Oh, and there you are, Perry," Phineas said. "I'll leave you to talk," Lawrence said. As he left the living room, William and Sofia donned their sunglasses, while Sofia put a special pair on for Perry.
"Guys, there is something you must know...again," William said before activating the device that Sofia gave him. A bright blue light flashed from the device. As soon as it cleared, Phineas, Ferb and Isabella blinked, then groaned.
"The last thing I remember is...Perry's a secret agent?!" Ferb said. "It worked like a charm, Sofia," William said. "Sofia?" Isabella asked William. "I thought her name was Mia."
"All will be explained, Isabella," William said. But, before he could begin, a beeping sounded from William's communicator. "Go ahead, E.R.I.N."
"William, we've picked up a distress call, but all we could get out of it was this," E.R.I.N. said. Her voice was replaced by a frantic-sounding "MEAP! MEAP-MEAP-MEAP!"
"Meap's in trouble!" Isabella said. "E.R.I.N., six to beam directly to the Bridge. Prepare for orbital insertion upon our arrival," William said.
"Acknowledged," E.R.I.N. said. William, Sofia, Phineas, Ferb, Isabella and Perry dissolved.
Once on the Bridge of the Enterprise, William gestured for Phineas, Ferb, Isabella and Perry to sit at a station "E.R.I.N., set course for the origin point of that distress call, maximum speed!" Sofia said. "Understood, Sofia," E.R.I.N. said.
The stars stretched to rainbow lines as Enterprise leaped into hyper-light drive.
"It will take us about five hours to get to wherever we're bound for," Sofia said, checking a console where she stood. "Which gives me plenty of time to explain what's going on," William said. "Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, I am William Edwards. I have been tasked with saving thirty worlds—of which yours is one—from a group calling themselves the Army of Inter-universal Chaos."
"My fiancee, Sofia the First of Enchancia, is the Key from her world that, when combined from the other twenty-nine worlds, will defeat the A.I.C. Your four..." William gestured to Phineas, Ferb, Perry and Isabella. "...are four-fifths of the Danville Key. But, the entity that is the final component of the Danville Key is still unknown to us."
"Maybe Meap would know who the final component is," Phineas said. "My thoughts exactly, Phineas," William said. "So, to steal your line...Guys, I know what we're gonna go today...Save Meap!" William said.
