We Like the New Neighbor

by The Nerdinator

The Continuing Adventures of Phineas and Ferb, S1E2 (True Love was S1E1). Phineas and Ferb give their new neighbor a tour of Danville via a rollercoaster, while Doofenshmirtz tries to use an inator to make Roger late to an important meeting. AU where the last four episodes of the series never happened.

4. Doof's Scheme

Perry arrived in the control box for the trains, only to be trapped in a boxcar pulled by a wooden steam locomotive.

"Hello, Perry the platypus," Dr. Doofenshmirtz said. The evil scientist was sporting a striped engineer's cap and red bandanna. "Like my trap? I know I gave Choo-choo to the other-dimension me - well, the other dimensions are actually different universes entirely, as I've since found out - but you wouldn't believe it when I say that a temporary portal opened up and Choo-choo fell through it! Wonder if other-me is back to being evil now..."

Perry raised his left brow (FYI, humans are the only creatures with eyebrows).

"Anyway, time for my latest plan to get me in charge of Danville. Behold, the Delay-inator!" Doofenshmirtz pointed to a chair-sized iinator mounted on a set of miniature railroad tracks. "Anything it hits gets slowed down fifty times until the ray wears off in about eight hours. Whatever gets struck feels as though time is passing normally - but one second for them is fifty seconds for those who aren't affected! Perry, ask me why this matters?"

Since Perry couldn't speak Human, all he could do was say, "Gngngngngngngn?"

"Today Roger has an important meeting with the governor. Oh, and apparently you can't govern three states at once...and the "Tri-State Area" thing was a myth planted in an old history textbook...but that's okay, three states is a bit too much for me to handle anyway. So, when Roger gets on his train, I will fire the Delay-inator at it and make him completely miss the meeting. Without a proper excuse, he'll be seen as an irresponsible mayor. He will fall in the polls, get voted out, and present me with the perfect opportunity to take over!"

Dramatic lightning somehow flashed inside.

"I delayed the stationmaster too, so I would be free to do this," Doofenshmirtz added. He looked at the screens depicting the trains leaving and arriving at the station. "Oh, I need to clean off these screens if the plan is going to work properly. I have to know which train is the right one. Wait here, Perry the platypus. Not like you can leave..."

He left the room to get some glass cleaner.
