Hey, everyone! Hope you're enjoying the story so far! Enjoy!

"Hey, Ferb! There you are!" Phineas yelled upon sight of his step-brother, who also ran to him. "Oh, boy! I'm glad I found you. This place is messed up!"

"Where's Isabella?" Ferb asked simply.

"Aw, dang! I was hoping she was with you!" Phineas said disappointedly.

"Well, when I went through the portal tunnel, I saw her enter a hole depicting our house, but much bleaker," Ferb informed him.

"Well, what are we standing around here for?! Let's go!" he yelled as he dashed towards their house, Ferb right behind him.

Meanwhile…

Isabella struggled against the rope that was wrapped tightly around her slim body, but there was no escaping it. She couldn't call for help either, because a piece of tape had been placed across her mouth.

"Well, doesn't look like she's goin' anywhere," the dark Phineas said, happy with his friends' work." C'mon. We'll take her inside."

What occurred in the next second-and-a-half happened so fast that the next thing Isabella knew was that she was being carried inside the house, draped over Buford's shoulder.

The Ferb clone opened a door, and Buford threw her inside. She looked back to the door, and the Phineas clone spoke. "We'll come get you at midnight!" he said as he slammed the door shut, leaving Isabella alone in the darkness of the basement.

She struggled once again against the binds, but it was no use.

'Phineas. Ferb.' She thought. 'Help me…'

(Real World, 10:17 A.M.)

Perry's hoverjet flew toward a building he had been to many times before: Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated.

"Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated!!!" The company's theme played.

Perry jumped out of his hovercraft and onto the side of the building. He pulled out a small gun shaped weapon, and fired at the wall. A pointed projectile, connected to the gun by a rope, embedded itself in the wall. He pulled a switch on the gun and it began to retract, and it pulled a small section of the wall out with it. Perry smiled to himself, and ran through the opening, and collided into ANOTHER wall.

Perry sighed, and repeated the gun process 3 more times.

Perry leaped through the hole and landed in a large room across from Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

"Ah, Perry the Platypus, you're timing is inconspicuous. And by inconspicuous, I mean COMPLETELY SPICUOUS!!!" the Dr. yelled as he pressed a button on the wall next to him, and four enormous forks fell on each of Perry's sides, causing him to be trapped by a silverware cage.

"Ha, HA, Perry the Platypus! You like my new trap? I decided to get into the theme of my latest plan: To open my own burger joint, 'Doofilicious Burgers'! You, know how much money those other burger joints make!"

Perry sighed to himself as he listened to Doofenshmirtz's rambling.

Meanwhile…

Candace took a quick glance into the backyard, and spotted the broken Trans-Dimensional Portal, but she was puzzled at the sight (or would that not be sight?) of no children anywhere nearby.

"No way that's going to disappear now!" she said as she dialed her mom's phone number. "Absolutely no way!"
