Pisces: Really wish people would actually READ these once in a while.
We peered out from our position...aka...two garbage cans.
Phineas and Ferb popped out from out of the garbage cans, "Well, this should be our street...Sure looks different, though." They nodded once at each other and ran off in the direction of our OD house. Perry and I came from behind the garbage cans and followed suit.
We came out from behind a bush to see our OD father walked by. "Dad?" Phineas asked.
"Boys? (I was hiding. Don't judge me) What are you doing here? You'd better get inside before the Doof-bots catch you. I'm off to the factory." He pulled out a hook. "See you next week!" The same bus that saved us had hooks of people on it and it caught him and whisked him away.
"Wow..." Phineas said, "Well, I guess we'd better get inside." Perry and I leapt out from the bushes. My fedora was already off.
Phineas turned away from the doorbell, "Uh...You might wanna...uh...well...these guys might not know that your...uh...really a...you know..." Perry looked down at himself and quickly reverted back to his "pet-form". Phineas, Ferb, and I glanced at Perry; then at us; then back to Perry. Phineas rang the doorbell, which I doubt the OD Phineas and Ferb do, and we all looked at Perry again. OD Mom opened the door.
"Boys (I hid again...) I thought you were in you rooms. Get inside." We all walked inside. Ferb closed the door after me. "Get your Dooferalls back on. If you need me, I'll be hiding in the basement." She left and Perry and I came out of hiding.
Phineas, again, was the first to comment, "...That was weird. Let's go find the other us-es."
"Agreed," I said, and followed them.
The OD Phineas and Ferb were as pale as paper. If they paled even more, I would've thought that they'd died.
"Hi guys," Phineas said as soon as he entered the room...apparently scaring the snickerdoodles out of them. They were freaking out about not conforming quick enough and being replaced. Phineas had to go through the "not-from-this-dimension" speech.
"Different dimension? Is that allowed?" OD Phineas asked.
"Apparently-" OD Phineas cut Phineas off.
"Oh, look! It's Perry! Perry's back!" he ran over and hugged him, "Where have you been! We've missed you so much!"
OD Ferb ran up to me and hugged me too, "Ria!" Even with that one word, I had realized how lonely he'd felt without his sister...it made me want to have revenge even more.
"Um...Phineas...He's not your Perry...He came with us," Phineas said.
"Oh...sorry...OD Phineas said, "Wait...can I hold him a bit longer?" OD Ferb started to sob on my shoulder. I gently rubbed his back to console him.
"It's just that he left one day and never came back. I've been so worried about him."
"Alright," OD Candace said, "You know that the only day we're allowed to make noise in on Doofensday so keep it..." she turned around with her head in her palm, "Are there five of you in this room?"
"Six, including Perry," Phineas replied.
"I see nothing. I have plausible deniability," she said and she left the room.
"Wow...your Candace is a lot less curious about what your doing than ours," Phineas commented.
"What do you mean?" OD Phineas asked.
"It seems like our Candace has spent her whole summer trying to bust us."
"Summer? I think that was outlawed a long time ago."
"You guys don't have summer?" I asked. Yes, OD Ferb freed me and Ferb and him had a silent staring "Ferb-style" conversation about who we are. "That's terrible."
"Summer...it sounds dangerous, but oddly compelling...what is it?"
"What is summer? Man, where do I begin?"
(Insert lyrics to: Summer (Where do we Begin))
"Wow...summer sounds like a blast," OD Phineas said.
"That's just the tip of the iceberg," Phineas said, "Like this summer for instance, we..."I tuned him out and followed Perry to the TV, which was singing a tune similar to the Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated one.
"This is a message going to out other dimension Perry the Platypus. If you turn yourself in, I promise not to hurt your little friends...if you don't, then all bet are off."
"Perry...are you really going to do what he says? It's not worth it." He chattered. "But Perry-" He chattered again. "I understand. I respect your wishes and I will not interfere unless my mission intercepts yours." He chattered. "Good luck, agent."
He put on his fedora again and snuck out of the room. His theme music played in the background.
"You have got to be kidding me," Phineas said, stopping both the theme music and Perry, "You're actually sneaking away again? So nothing's changed. Did it ever occur to you that we could help you? That we could've been a great team?...But I guess you can't have teamwork without trust." He pointed at the door. "We know your secret now. You don't have to sneak out. You can just go."
Perry walked down the street as it began to rain...adding to the sad scene that now took place.
"You know...I thought you couldn't spell "platypus" without "us"," Phineas said sadly, walking back in.
Ferb attempted to lighten the mood, "Well you could, but then it'd just be platyp." Then he closed the door.
"Well, I guess if you two can't help us, then we could check with Isabella," Phineas was saying.
"Who's Isabella?" OD Phineas said.
"The girl who lives across the street," Phineas said.
"Mom says that talking to neighbors can be dangerous," OD Phineas said.
"It's true," OD Mrs. Flynn called up from downstairs. I stared at the floorboards...she's a strange woman...
"Well, it's about time you met her," Phineas said, "C'mon. You'll like her."
"Yes," I muttered, "Like."
"What about the Norm-bots?" OD Phineas asked.
"Relax," Phineas said as he lead us out the door...well most of us. I stayed from the group, 'We've been avoiding them all day. If you're really careful, then-" A shadow loomed over them. "Okay, we've got to be more careful than that."
"May I please see your identification?" it asked. They were silent.
"Identify THIS!" I whacked my staff into its head. It just switched into its angry mode and demanded to see our traveling papers. It kept repeating for some reason and it shorted out.
"Man, I can't stand these things," a boy with Mohawk hair and punk clothing said.
"Hey, it's Buford," Phineas said.
"Who're you guys?" he asked.
"Candace's brothers. We're going to Isabella's," he replied.
"Are you part of the Resistance?" OD Phineas asked.
"I used to be in the Resistance, but I got so good at it, that I started resisting them." Buford explained. He walked over to the gates and opened them. "C'mon. Isabella's house is right-" The floor opened up and swallowed us. We fell in darkness and listened to the Phineas' screams.
We fell through a little flap. I gracefully tucked and rolled so that I was in a position that I could freely move in. The others landed in a heap.
From the darkness, which was lighter here, I saw a bunch of girls leap down and tie up my brothers, my OD brothers, and Buford. I managed to use the rope which tried to tie me against its owner. The lights switched on.
"What'cha doin'?" OD Isabella asked with attitude. She was dressed up like she was in the army.
"Isabella!" Phineas cried.
"Do I know you?" she replied.
"Hey, Isabella," Buford said from the ground.
"Ugh. Him, I know,' she knelt down to his eye level, "What're you doing here? I thought you were resisting us?"
"I was helpin' Candace's brothers cross the street," he replied.
"Candace has two sets of twin brothers?" she asked.
"No. We're from another dimension. We're trying to get back," I said from my position in the shadows. I walked into the light holding a tied up OD Katie. "You also might want to try giving you soldiers a little more training. Maybe against a Norm-bot, you would win...but against an...a ninja or a hoard of them, you would get captured."
She was silent for a minute, "Alright, release them." The OD Fireside Girls (more commonly known as the Firestorm Girls) did their little tying up actions backwards and unraveled the boys into this little cheerleading pose. I undid Katie and she glared at me. I held my hands up in surrender and as an apology.
"Why would you even want to come to this dimension anyway?" Isabella asked as Phineas passed her.
"We didn't mean to come into this dimension," he replied, "Now we can't get back unless we fix this device."
"Well, we may have someone who can help you," Isabella led us to a chair, which turned around showing an Indian boy with big hair, "Dr. Baljeet."
"Baljeet!" Phineas said.
"That's Dr. Baljeet to you. Were you not listening?" he replied. I raised an eyebrow and waited for him to shut up about his name and start explaining what we got ourselves into. "Here are the crux of your problem." He hopped off his chair. "Think of the universe and many other dimensions as circular and that the energy travels clockwise. Think of your dimension and our dimension like this. You traveled with the flow of energy, which is easy. Going counterclockwise would take 8 million gigawatts of energy, thus overloading the local power grid."
My eyebrow remained raised, "And why do you sound so happy giving us this news?"
"I have prepared a little song to help illustrate my point," he said, picking up an accordion.
"So that's why," I muttered.
*Baljeet Explanation*
OD Baljeet:
So if you travel through dimensions going clockwise makes it easy,
(cue picture of local power gird)
Going counter-clockwise would take 8 million gigawatts of energy-
(cue picture of explosion)
-overloading the local power gird~
*Song end*
"...You've got to work on that..." I commented.
"Anyway, without 8 million gigawatts of energy, you would have to take the long way around. Theoretically, you would get back to your dimension, but there is no telling how many dimensions you would have to go though."
"Is there any way that you could redirect the energy to open a window to get us home?"
"Well, we should probably ask our leader..."
"Ask your leader what?" A man's shape showed in the red lighting of that part of the base, "And who made the topiary out of wild parsnips. I'm allergic Candace walked in and flick on the lights.
"Candace, you're the leader of the resistance?" OD Phineas asked.
"What're you two -she clears her throat- doing here? Nevermind. I'll deal with you later." She walked right by them. "You three. I have been spending my life trying to keep them safe and now, their faces are all over the Doofenchannel."
"We just want to get home to our dimension," Phineas said.
"Well, what's stopping you?" OD Candace said.
"Right now, Quantum Physics," Phineas said.
"Baljeet?"
"We need 8 millions gigawatts of energy for inter-dimensional travel."
"Then we've got work to do. Isabella, redirect the energy."
"Yes sir."
"Gretchen, monitor the Doofenchannel."
"Aye, aye."
"Buford, keep resisting."
"No."
"And will someone get rid of that topiary?" it was lifted away and she cleared her throat again, "Thank you."
"It's working!" Phineas reported, "Ferb! Ria! I think we've got it! I can see home! We gave him a thumbs up from our positions.
"Well, thank you everyone. Hey, where's Per-Oh...right...
"Doofenshmirtz Evil News Update~" The TV sang. I glared at it and pulled out a kunai. Ferb snatched the kunai away.
"This just in," the Norm-bot said, "our supreme leader has just announced the capture of public enemy number one, Perry the alternate-dimension platypus!" It showed him as a mug shot with a big red "X" over it. "I guess we won't be seeing him any more, except as a platyborg." The screen switched to the colourful thing. "It's 3:30; we now conclude our broadcast day." The voice changed to Doofenshmirtz's. "NOW GO TO BED!" An arrow (the kind made for kids…y'know, the ones without the sharp end) met the screen.
"I can't believe he did that..." I growled, "Plus, no one tells me what to do unless I want them to tell me what to do."
"We have to save him," Phineas cried.
OD Candace pulled the arrow from the screen and threw it to me, "Oh no. Too risky. You guys have to get back to your own dimension."
"We're not going anywhere without our platypus," Phineas said, finally pulling out his stubborn side on someone who was not me.
"I thought you said that he was using you as a cover story," OD Buford said.
"I know what I said," Phineas said, "I was hurt. But even if it all was an act, he's still part of the family and we're not leaving him." And for once in my life, I agreed to his stubbornness.
"I might now be able to open this again," OD Baljeet said.
"Well, then. You all are on your own," OD Candace said.
"Fine, then. Just tell us where Doofenshmirtz keeps his prisoners," Phineas said.
"We have to help them," OD Phineas said.
"Oh no we don't," OD Candace said.
"Yes we do. Remember how we felt when our Perry disappeared?" OD Phineas said with a sad face.
"...My god...I must be crazy...Alright we can get there through the tunnels," OD Candace said.
"Yes!" OD Phineas said.
"Alright, let's suit up, people," Candace said.
"Hey, Isabella..." I said.
"Yeah?" she replied.
"Do you mind if I borrow a few of your men to accompany me on my own mission?"
"What's you mission?" I whispered it into her ear. "You're crazy!"
"I'm the only one who can pull this off, Isabella. Plus, I know how they feel. They should go through all those feelings at such an early age," I explained.
"Fine," she said and she assembled her troop. I only took a handful of the group based on my knowledge of the Fireside Girls and my observations from a few minutes ago.
"Alright," I told my crew, "Let's go." And with that, we left the hideout in silence and without anyone else knowing our departure. We set out on the trains to our destination: Doofenshmirtz's place.
Pisces: And this is where I'm cutting it. That's it. I'm done.

HA! I'm kidding...kinda.
Well, you see, it's the end of my contest entry, but not the end of the story. I will write a sequel to this (if I can) and I will keep trying to complete my Metal Fusion/Fight Beyblade one that I just remembered...well then...This is Glacial Pisces signing off. Peace~
