"So….I don't get the cupcakes?"


GENERAL POV


Candace and Vanessa peered around the corner of the house and glanced in both directions. Candace looked at Vanessa. "We good?"

Vanessa shrugged. "You're the one with the ghost glasses."

Candace shook her head. "Right."

She searched the backyard for a moment, and spotted Roberta, doing her best to hold her own against the ghosts. Candace thumped a fist on the side of the house. "I wish we could help her!" she said.

Vanessa looked at Candace. "Well we can't, so we have to find a way to get Ferb and the others back here."

Candace nodded. "Until then, I guess we could try to keep them away from here."

The girls glanced at each other, took a deep breath and darted into the backyard, screaming like banshees. Roberta looked startled for a moment, but a smile crossed her face when some of the ghosts began backing off, scared of the yells coming from Candace and Vanessa.

Candace's face was pink when she stopped screaming, and she opened her mouth again to yell when a portal opened up right next to her and her brothers, Isabella, and Holly came tumbling through, crash landing on her and sending Candace face first into the ground.

She pulled herself up quickly. "Guys, you're OK!"

Phineas shook his head and helped Isabella off the ground, while Ferb did the same with Holly. "Not now, Candace. We've got to get out of here!"

Candace opened her mouth to ask what he meant, but her eyes landed on the portal, which was still open. Ghosts were pouring out of it and joining the one's already in the air. A moment later, the portal closed, but ghosts were now lined up around the kids, all sneering evilly. It was then that Vanessa nudged her and pointed at Ferb.

Candace's eyes widened at the sight of both the stones clutched in his hands. "You got it?"

Phineas shook his head, grabbed Isabella and Holly's wrists and yanked them forward. "Not now, Candace! We've got to get out of here!"

Candace took his cue and began running, Vanessa right next to her and Roberta floating along behind them.

The ghosts realized that the kids were attempting to escape, and they began cutting off their exits. Phineas backpedaled quickly when Ferb yelled to him, and he stopped. "There's nowhere we can go!" he cried in dismay as the ghosts closed in.

Ferb clutched the stone halves to his chest and a large ghost came forward, chuckling. Ferb recognized it as the ghost that had been fighting Danny when they first arrived.

"Give it over kid. Now."

There was no mistaking the malice in the ghost's voice, and Ferb felt his limbs start to tremble. "No," he managed to whisper.

The ghost growled and a huge, glowing blade came from his hand. He dove for Ferb, and the boy ducked, expecting his head to be sliced off.

Instead, the grass dropped out from under him.

He vaguely heard Candace shriek, and he glanced down, trying his best to stop everyone from falling. He didn't know what was happening, or where they were going to land, but he wasn't very curious at the moment.

Amazingly, mattresses appeared underneath them and they all landed safely. Ferb looked up in time to see the backyard disappear above them, the ghosts trying to jump their way in.

He glanced down, and all he could see was darkness.

"Everyone OK?" came Phineas' voice.

"Good!" Holly said.

"I'm fine!" Isabella cried from Ferb's right.

"We're OK!" Vanessa and Candace chorused.

"Fine," Ferb said softly.

"OK," said Phineas. The mattresses creaked lightly where he stood, and Ferb strained his eyes in that direction. "Wherever we are, we can't see. I wish we had some-"

He faltered as a soft yellow glow was emitted from the stones sitting next to Ferb. Phineas' face was faint, but you could still see the bright smile that he offered. "That was convenient."

Isabella appeared in the light with Holly next to her. "So, where are we?"

Everyone glanced around, and Vanessa winced. She knew exactly where they were. She could see the small shape huddled in the chair at the far end of the room.

"Why don't we split up and search for a light switch?" Phineas asked.

There were mumbles of agreement from the kids and they hopped off of the mattresses to start their search.


Perry watched them quietly from his chair, knowing it was only a matter of time before they found the switch and revealed him.

He hadn't really had a choice. Perry had returned to his chair a moment after leaving to grab the other ghost weapon he had, and he had spotted the portal on the monitor. The second the ghosts had begun threatening the kids, he had thrown the switch to the lights and hit the button that let the entire yard fall.

He frowned and shook his head in amusement. That button was becoming more and more handy. He was glad Carl had convinced Monogram to add it. First Dennis, now ghosts. What next?

A scuffle to his left made him glance over. The dark, curly hair identified the person as Holly, and she was running her hands along the wall.

"Hey, I think I found the switch!" she called.

Perry's eyes swiveled to where her hands were resting and he grimaced. She was hovering over the switches for the emergency laser system.

With a sigh, he dove from his chair and tackled Holly to the ground. "What the heck?" she cried as she hit the floor.

Perry sat up quickly, but somehow, Holly had managed to latch onto his wrist, and her grip was strong. She pulled her other hand forward and Perry sighed, knowing that he wasn't getting out of this.

"Hey, I think I found something!" Phineas called from the other side of the room, where the light switch actually was.

The lights flickered on just as Holly's hand brushed Perry's fur. Her eyes widened in the bright light and she stared at Perry.

"Perry?" she said, drawing back.

All the kids spun around in surprise, and Perry spotted Vanessa's grimace. Phineas' eyes widened as he took in the sight of his platypus, and then he spun in a slow circle, gazing at the room.

"Ferb, this is the agent lair you made!"

Ferb's eyes hadn't left Perry, and as the platypus looked up to meet his gaze, it hit him why this was a sudden sense of déjà vu for him:

Perry was kidnapped by Scott, he was an agent, and Ferb had let the Carl kid erase his memory of it all.

Ferb gave a slow smile and then glanced at Phineas. "Like I said, I never made this place."

Phineas looked at Ferb, and then stared at Perry. Finally, he sighed. "Can someone explain what is going on?" he said, rubbing his temples with his fingers.

Vanessa shook her head. "Phin, we don't have time."

Phineas looked up, stunned. "You know what's happening?" he said in disbelief.

Vanessa nodded. "Yeah." She turned to Perry. "Where's my dad?" she asked.

Phineas mouthed "her dad?" and Ferb sighed. Perry gave a sharp whistle and a moment later, Pinky rounded the corner, Doofenshmirtz hot on his tail. Pinky froze as his gaze locked on Isabella and he looked at Perry in horror.

Perry shook his head slightly and Pinky lowered his eyes to the floor, not willing to meet his owner's look of confusion.

"Vanessa!" Dr. Doofenshmirtz cried, running to the teen and hugging her tightly. "Are you OK?"

Vanessa pulled out of her dad's grip and laughed. "I'm fine, Dad."

Phineas' gaze suddenly tightened. "Wait…where are our Mom and Dad?"

Candace glanced at her phone. "Mom texted me earlier and said that she and Dad were going to be at an antique show all day."

Phineas let out a breath of relief, and suddenly, there was a loud tremble. Everyone looked up at the ceiling as another tremble filled the room.

"What's happening?" Isabella said, clutching at Holly's arm.

Perry pulled out a notepad and began writing, handing it to Vanessa a moment later. She read quickly.

"'There's a ghost shield around my lair, and I assume that the ghosts are trying to break through it.'"

Phineas frowned. "'MY' lair? What-"

Vanessa groaned. "Phineas, we don't have time for this. You want the short version?"

Phineas nodded slowly, and Vanessa frowned, shaking her head. "Perry's a secret agent, he battles my dad here, and this is his lair."

Phineas spun on Perry, his eyes slowly filling with anger. "What? You're a secret agent? And you fight a pharmacist?" he cried, throwing his hands at Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

"Oh come on!" Dr. Doofenshmirtz yelled, throwing his hands up in the air. Everyone looked at him.

"Is…is the lab coat really that confusing? Really? How many pharmacists actually where a lab coat?"

Phineas glanced at his brother. "Um, all of them?"

Dr. Doofenshmirtz rolled his eyes and yelped as another tremble came from the ceiling. Perry glanced up in concern and chattered something to Pinky, who barked back in response. Perry hopped off of his chair and walked towards the door.

After a brief moment of consideration, he pulled open a box and rummaged through it, pulling out several pairs of sunglasses.

Phineas' eyes widened. "No way. YOU have all the ghost glasses?"

Perry looked up and gave a small smile, tossing a pair of glasses to everyone but Ferb and Candace. Phineas slid them on hesitantly.

"Wait," said Isabella, "we can see the ghosts. Why do we need these?"

Ferb shook his head. "No, you can see the ghosts from the other dimension, not this one."

Isabella nodded and slid the glasses on. Dr. D shook his head. "Wait, other dimension? Why does that ring a bell?"

Perry and Pinky glanced at each other, and then at Phineas as he turned to them, crossing his arms. "Yeah…that sounds familiar to me as well," he said.

"Me too," Isabella and Holly said slowly. Candace nodded and Phineas glanced at Ferb, who was staring at the floor. Phineas' eyes widened in realization.

"Ferb," he said, letting his hands slide to his sides, "you knew?"

Ferb glanced up. "Kind of. When Perry was kidnapped the last time, I knew."

Phineas let his gaze darken and Ferb shook his head. "But I had Carl erase my memories."

Phineas looked at his brother in bewilderment. "Why on earth would you do that?"

Ferb glanced at Perry, who gave a small nod. "Because otherwise Perry would be relocated."

Phineas spun on his pet, wobbling as the lair shook again. "Relocated? What?"

Perry gave him a sad smile and Phineas glanced at Pinky. "Pinky too?"

The animals nodded and Isabella stifled a gasp. Vanessa shook her head as plaster fell from the ceiling. "Guys, I know you're hurt, but we need to leave. Who knows how long that shield will hold!"

"Wait," Phineas said, "shouldn't we reconnect the stone first? So we can deal with trying to get rid of it again?"

Everyone looked at said rock, which was leaning against Ferb's legs in its two separate pieces.

"Yeah, we should," Candace said.

"Or, rather, Ferb should," Isabella said.

Ferb glanced up and saw that everyone was watching him. He knelt slowly and studied the rock.

"How do I do this?" he finally asked.

Phineas shrugged. "I guess you could just push the two halves together and see what happens."

Ferb nodded and glanced back down. Using his mind for the top half and his hands for the bottom half, Ferb began to push the rock together. The edges began to meet, and a bright red light shown out of the crack, causing him to squint his eyes to see.

Everyone else backed away from the light and Ferb kept pushing, sweat beginning to pour down his face from the sheer strain of the stones force.

He was going to feel this in the morning.

He gritted his teeth and kept pushing, the light almost blinding him. He yelped as his hands started to heat up, and he could feel the rock burning into his flesh. Nevertheless, Ferb kept pushing, the burn starting to travel from his hands up his arms.

The small chink that was left disappeared with a satisfying SNAP! and Ferb was thrown backwards five feet, his hands burned and blistered.

He struggled to sit up, and winced as his hands hit the floor. He stared at his burned palms that were throbbing and slowly got to his feet.

Feet pounded and several hands began to steady him. Holly's soft hands reached over and took Ferb's hands, and the coolness of her hands seeped into his burned pores.

"You did it, man," Phineas said, clapping his brother lightly on the back. "Now we just got to figure out what to do with the stone."

A huge cracking sound came from above them, and everyone looked up as the ceiling began trembling.

"But first," Candace said, steadying Ferb with her hands on his elbows, "we should get out of here."

Ferb jerked his chin up and the stone flew off of the floor. Perry and Pinky darted to a door and pulled it open. The kids and Dr. D followed.

Perry waited for everyone to go past him, and then he closed the door just as the roof caved in on his lair.


Well? Whatcha think? I promise, this will make more sense later.

But oh no! Perry and Pinky have been discovered!
