-In the Throne Room-

"I can't believe you Fish! I thought you said there was no way whatsoever to free Marissa from your power!" future Anti-Phineas shouted at Future Fish.

"Every contract has a loophole, and Phineas being scared or hurt enough is Marissa's loophole to be released from me!" Fish shouted.

"You idiot! You should have told us that! What use is she to us now?" Anti-Phineas (past) said as he looked at Marissa who had an expression that screamed 'clueless and hypnotized', "Look at her! There's nothing we can do with her. She can't kill Phineas because she would be released therefore making it useless to hypnotize her in the first place! We might as well just kill her now! She's USELESS!"

"You're forgetting that she is the one that, under my influence, brought those brats back to us after I made her trick them into thinking she was released!" Future Fish yelled in Anti-Phineas' face.

"Plus, my younger self, she has kept young little Phineas at bay. Notice that he has lost his confidence and he is not quite thinking straight," Future Anti-Phineas said. Then he developed an evil smile, for he had a plan.

-In the Dungeon-

Phineas has fallen asleep on Future Marissa's lap with her arm around him still. Isabella, Ferb, Candace, and Perry sit on the bench where they are. Future Phineas thought about what his younger self said, and out of nowhere, he said, "He's right, I am stupid and carless. I never felt so bad for myself in my life." Everyone looks at him, and he says, "oh no, not MYSELF I mean my younger self. He has been through a lot today, and I could have been a little more helpful comfort wise."

Future Marissa looked down at Phineas who was sleeping still. She rubbed his back gently as he slept. The poor kid had been crying so much that he cried himself to sleep in her arms, and he still had a tear on his face.

"Ferb?" she said then both Ferbs looked at her, "oh my time zone Ferb, can I see that handkerchief?"

Future Ferb took out the handkerchief that he carried since he was nine years old,and he handed it to her. She thanked him, and she wiped that last tear off of Phineas' closed eye. He looked really peaceful and cute when he was asleep, but not when he was sad. Phineas felt the handkerchief touch his closed eye, and he woke up with a stir.

"Future Marissa? How long have I been asleep?" he asked her as he sat up, and rubbed his eyes.

"It doesn't matter Phineas. You deserved to sleep after all you've been through," Future Isabella said.

Phineas looked at his future self, and Future Phineas said, "Younger me, I'm really sorry for not being very if any helpful in this situation. I do care about Marissa. I guess I was just concerned about myself."

Phineas looked up at his future self, and he said, "No, I'm sorry I said that stuff to you. I didn't mean any of it. I guess the fact that Marissa was turned against me, and being stuck here kind of got to my head, and I was basically looking for somebody to be mad at even though it was my fault this happened. Then again, I guess it wasn't helping that you were acting pretty dumb, but that was no reason to shout at you and say I hated you. I'm really sorry future me."

They both smiled, and they went in for a hug.

"Aw, that's sweet," both Isabella's and future Marissa said.

Soon that moment was ruined, for Fish floated in with the entranced Marissa behind him. Phineas cringed in fear, and he clung to his future self knowing that he was hopefully gonna attempt to be more helpful and comforting.

"Well, isn't that sweet? I hate it. Anyways, the boss requires your presence in his throne room, and by requires, I mean demands. Let's go," Fish said as he opened the door, and Marissa picked them up using the telekinetic powers again. Nobody struggled or moved or spoke, for they knew it was redundant.

-Throne Room-

Fish, Past Fish and the gang entered the throne room, and Future Anti-Phineas greeted them pleasantly.

"Hello once again Phineas. I have not yet decided how I want you to meet your doom just yet, but I have a little offer for you. I've noticed how down you look with your own sister against you, but I don't take pity on you because you know, I'm evil. However, I am prepared to command Fish to release her if you would do something for me," Future Anti-Phineas said.

Fish's eyes widen, and he says, "Um you don't have the power to order me around."

"Hush Fish, I am talking with our guest," Future Anti-Phineas said as he looked evilly at a frightened Phineas.

"What? Why would he expect me to do something for him? Wait, did he just say he would tell Fish to release Marissa if I did it for him? What do I do?" Phineas thought to himself. He looked up at both of the Anti-Phineas who both had similar evil smiles. "What is it you want me to do exactly?" he asked.
