To Timmy and friends' dismay, it appears that the redhaired babysitter Vicky has taken back the skatepark crown and been bullying younger kids again.
"B-but how", Timmy stammered.
"Oh, it's very simple, twerp", Vicky grinned, as she stood up and approached the eight kids. "You see, you haven't visited this skatepark in quite some time, and according to the rules, if the current king or queen remains inactive for half a month, they lose their title, and is up for grabs by any good skateboarder!"
Vicky showed a document as proof, which Timmy began to read.
"So you waited for this moment so you could snatch the crown and become queen again", Timmy asked.
"Not really", Vicky admitted with a grin. "It was brought up by the committee at BRAT a few days ago. And someone got the crown before me. Luckily, he was a dweeb. Easily beaten."
"Hey, only I get to beat dweebs", Buford objected.
"I do not think she talks about the same kind of 'beat' there", Baljeet intervened.
"I don't care, nerd", Buford said. "I'm gunna take that crown away from Yuckster over there and give it back to Timmy!"
"Oh, really, now", Vicky grinned.
"That's right", Buford said, cracking his knuckles. "I ain't scared of you, Yuckster!"
Buford charged towards Vicky… but couldn't move any further when her hand blocked him. Still, he kept charging on, even if it wasn't any use.
"Silly dwarf", Vicky said. "Thinking he can beat me up. Watch this."
Vicky kicked Buford towards a skating dome. She then sped to the dome with her skateboard and kicked Buford to the other side before he could hit the ground. Then she sped towards the other side and pushed Buford again while making an ollie. She kept volleying Buford against herself back and forth, one-upping each last volley with a more complicated trick. Eventually, she spiked Buford towards Timmy, Phineas and Ferb.
Baljeet was shocked at this, then turned to Vicky and snapped: "You… YOU, DO NOT TREAT MY BULLY LIKE THAT!"
"Do you want me to do the same thing against you", Vicky asked.
Baljeet looked up surprised, then meekly replied: "Um, no thank you. I am good."
Buford got up and approached Baljeet. "Let's get outta here, nerd", Buford said with a terrified expression. "I never would've thunk meeting someone just as bad as Suzy Johnson!"
"Wait, you're still scared of Jeremy's little sister", Phineas asked.
"You don't know her, man", Buford replied hysterically. "You really don't know her at all!"
He grabbed Baljeet and raced towards the exit. "Buford is out! Peace!"
As the duo disappeared, Timmy turned to Vicky and said: "Well, I ain't scared of you! I've beaten you once, I can beat you again!"
"Are you challenging me, twerp", Vicky asked.
"Sure I am", Timmy said. "I'm challenging you to a skating competition, two out of three wins. Winner takes the crown, loser gets out!"
"Sure, sure", Vicky said. "But if you lose, I'm placing a permanent ban on all of your friends, including your egghead friend, your braceface friend, my dorky sister, that new girl in yellow, that crush of yours that probably doesn't even like you, and especially those new friends of yours, the one with the stupid triangle nose and the ugly green-haired one."
"HEY! Phineas's nose isn't stupid and Ferb isn't ugly at all", Irving intervened.
Vicky flicked her finger up his nose.
"OWWW", Irving exclaimed.
"So, whaddya think", Vicky asked Timmy.
"Sure, but if you lose, you and your friends get the permanent ban instead", Timmy said. "Also, they get to make the skating ramps and domes we duel on." Timmy pointed to Phineas and Ferb.
"Deal", Vicky said. "The competition begins at 12:00 sharp."
"Deal", Timmy said.
"Great", Vicky grinned. "I would be training if I were you; we start in two hours!"
And Vicky skated to the other side of the park, knocking over some kids in her way.
"You two should be able to build awesome competition domes by 12, right", Timmy asked Phineas and Ferb.
"Of course we can do that", Phineas reassured Timmy. "But I should find a training ground fast if I were you."
"Relax, I know some places not even my friends know about", Timmy said. "In fact, I'll be going right now. See ya!"
Timmy left the skate park.
Phineas stared at the exit for a moment, then turned to the remaining compadres while writing on a notepad. "Alright, AJ, Chester, Irving, I need you guys to gather the following materials." He ripped a note from the notepad and handed it to the three kids.
"…What's the ten foot squared blanket for?" Chester asked.
"In order to remain fair between the competitors, the skating domes should be a surprise for the both of them, otherwise they'd gain an unfair advantage", Phineas answered.
"Ohhhh", Chester, AJ and Irving chimed.
"And what's the pineapple for", AJ asked.
"Because Ferb likes pineapples", Phineas replied.
Outside of the skate park, Cosmo and Wanda appeared beside Timmy.
"If you're thinking about wishing yourself to be a pro skateboarder, Timmy, you know what Da Rules say about wishes and competitions", Wanda said cautiously.
"Don't worry, Wanda", Timmy said. "I've done this competition thing before, I just need to hone my skills at the most opportune loca- wait a minute, where's Poof?"
Cosmo and Wanda blinked. "I thought you had him", Cosmo told Timmy.
"I presume Poof's still with Chloe", Wanda said.
"Oh yeah, that makes sense", Timmy concluded. "By the way, don't you think it's a bit weird that she suddenly wanted to hang out with Trixie and the other girls. Come to think of it, why did Trixie want to explore her own subconsciousness, anyway?"
Wanda had an inkling why Chloe wanted to hang out with Trixie, and she also knew why Trixie wanted to travel through her own mind. However, she believed that Timmy should discover this himself, and refused to spoil everything.
Cosmo, however, was a bit more dense. "Maybe she wanted makeup lessons", he asked. "I mean, look at that mascara."
"Ugh, whatever, I don't have time for that right now", Timmy said. "We got training to do. Wish me to the Pyramids of Egypt!"
Cosmo and Wanda raised their wands, and poofed them and Timmy towards the North African deserts.
"Alright, the Mind Machine Neo is plugged in and ready to go", Isabella said. She and the other girls looked at the device, plugged in the power strip.
"Okay, now what", Candace asked.
"I guess we need to put these helmets on and sleep", Isabella pondered. "I presume the yellow-rimmed helmet must be placed on Trixie if we want to enter her mind, considering the other helmets have black rims instead."
"Honestly, couldn't they, like, at least write down some instructions before they left", Veronica asked.
"Wouldn't surprise me if they thought we'd understand it quickly", Candace scoffed.
"They could've just forgotten it, too", Chloe suggested.
"Look, I'll put the yellow-rimmed helmet on like Isabella said", Trixie said. "If we end up in another mind, we exit the subconsciousness and try again."
"Sounds like a plan, but how would we know whose mind we're entering", Candace asked.
"I would probably know that best myself", Trixie answered, placing the yellow-rimmed helmet on her head.
As the other girls put on a black-rimmed helmet each, Isabella pondered: "Okay, now a place to rest…"
She noticed Trixie was lying down on the grassy lawn.
"Man, this lush patch of grass, along with the warm summer sun beating down on my pretty self, is actually quite relaxing", Trixie said. "Maybe... if I brought… some suntan… zzzzz…"
Trixie found the grass relaxing enough to sleep on.
Isabella glanced at the other three girls. Veronica, Chloe and Candace shrugged, as they and Isabella followed suit.
Perry stared at the two-story house in front of him. According to Major Monogram, this is the house that supposedly appeared out of thin air a few days ago. Before, this used to be an empty lawn.
Perry turned his head to look at the other houses in the neighborhood. This is the street where Dimmsdale's most popular kids live, so most of them were pretty expensive-looking manors with beautiful gardens and front lawns. That's not to say this inexplicable house's lawn was unappealing, but it paled in comparison.
Enough stalling. Perry focused on the mission and snuck into the house.
As Perry stood in the hallway, he noticed how dark everything was. As in, pitch black. If he were an ordinary human, or an ordinary platypus for that matter, he wouldn't be able to see a thing, but Perry had trained for nocturnal missions.
Plus, he had night vision goggles hidden in his fedora.
The platypus put the aforementioned goggles on and explored the house, reaching the living room.
Weird, still no visible sign of Doofenshmirtz. Or anyone, for that matter. Perry sensed Doof was here, but he supposed that his nemesis was hiding. But where?
Perry snuck around the room, stopping at some curtains.
He noticed that the curtains seem to be oddly placed. As if they were hanging smack dab in the middle of the room.
Perry reached for the curtains to open them… when suddenly, a metal, bracelet-like claw caught Perry around his waist!
The claw was attached to a metal, extending arm akin to a shower hose, and pulled Perry right into a sofa, where the arm apparently came from and disappeared into. Somehow, Perry's night vision goggles fell off in the process.
Perry was stuck in the claw, forced to sit down. This way yet another of Doofenshmirtz's endless supply of traps.
Suddenly, a stage light was shining on the curtains. Perry now noticed the crimson color the curtains had.
As the curtains opened, Doofenshmirtz was standing there. Suddenly, Perry heard a GONG, and Doofenshmirtz was wearing a golden suit.
"Ah, Perry the Platypus", Doofenshmirtz said. "Welcome, to…"
A second GONG was heard, at which a bunch of showgirls appeared, and a neon sign saying 'DOOFENSHMIRTZ' lit up. Then, a familiar jingle played.
"Doofenshmirtz's Rich Sub-Urb Vacation Home!"
Author's Note: Maybe some of you noted that the Evil Jingle did not appear at Doof's earlier appearance in this fanfic. Sure, you could chalk it up to the fact that Doofenshmirtz isn't residing in Danville for now, but the actual reason why? I was saving it for later! AKA, now.
I was contemplating on using a second jingle in Chapter 2, since it was on a different day, but I omitted it there since the jingle is somewhat the same, anyway. I thought it'd be better if I saved the jingle for when Doof introduces the house to Perry, in his usual showstopper-y way.
Alrighty, see you next time!
