Chapter 7: The CAST review.

Midnight, Perry's and Candace's secret base:

"Agent P," Monogram was saying, "it has been two months now since agent C joined us, um, joined you. The time has come for the C.A.S.T assessment of our new colleague." Perry nodded excitedly, knowing Candace was easily going to pass.

"OK, point C: Combat. To be honest, rating this one was a laugh here at headquarters. It appears Doofenshmirtz is still unable to overcome his morals and strike back at Agent C before she knocks him out." Monogram smiled and Perry chuckled.

"Next, point A: Avoidance. This is clearly Agent C's most developed skill. She has so far never been caught in any of the traps Doofenshmirtz sets up as your welcome, which allows her to free you to sabotage Doofenshmirtz's technology.

"Now we have point S: Stealth. Again, an excellent performance. Doofenshmirtz is never able to locate Agent C when she infiltrates his lair, right up to the point when she passes a witty remark while standing right behind him. The one about the Chihuahua made all the examiners snort milk out their noses." The Major smiled, then turned somber.

"That brings us to point T, which istechnology."

Perry sat up straighter; this was the part that bothered him.

"This one has the lowest score in the assessment." the Major continued. "Your partner seems completely clueless as to how to disable the machines Doofenshmirtz usually assembles. Frankly, this surprises us, because her two brothers, especially the silent one, appear to be mechanical geniuses. However, since you can take them apart, we have decided to disregard this point of the review."

Perry sighed with relief.

"Overall, Agent C is an excellent addition to our agency. We are all proud to have her on our team. Since we ignored the technology part, her overall score is 9 out of 10. Please pass on to her what we discussed, Agent P. Monogram out."

Perry watched the screen go black, and then smiled. He was really proud of his partner, while at the same time slightly jealous. His own score had only been 7.

The next day, back at the secret base:

"Agents C and P, welcome." Monogram said. "Agent C, I trust you know your C.A.S.T. review score?" Candace nodded. "That's good. We do, however, have a very serious problem. It appears that Dr. Doofenshmirtz has gotten wiser. According to the scans we have of his lair, the new machine he has created is way more advanced than any of the ones he made before. Not even you, Agent P, will be able to disable it. All of our tech specialists are on vacation. It seems you will need some outside help. Good luck."

The screen went black and Perry groaned.

We need a miracle to pull this off, he told his partner.

"No." Candace corrected him. "We need Ferb."

Author's note: Well, it looks like Ferb is gonna help the team as a tech specialist. Be honest, how many of you saw this coming?
