Phineas: Are you sure you're okay?

ME: Of course I am. Just get me some more hot chocolate.

Phineas: Well…okay…just don't move.

ME: Do I ever?

Phineas: Are you feeling okay?

ME: Yeah, yeah, fine. Now shoo! I need to open the chapter!

Phineas: Going.

ME: So I'm back! *Whispers to Liz* What happened when I was gone?

Liz: I lied to Ellie about my leg and Ferb eavesdropped on Josh and Phin.

ME: Omigosh! That was unexpected!

Liz: Really?

ME: Yes!...No, not really. I'm the author I know everything.

Liz: That's kind of creepy…

Phineas: Tell me about it.

ME: Enjoy!

Josh's pov

"How did you guys get out of swimming?" I asked Phin and Liz. "I told my counselor I was chafing."

"You would say that." Liz said, turning up her nose. "I passed off my split shin as an excuse."

"I told the lifeguard I was going to puke." Phin said. "He let me go really quickly."

"I bet." Liz said, laughing. "So what are we going to do about the World Division? I mean, we're pretty much protected against Carter, but what about the others?" We looked at each other as we finished the designs on the healing ray gun.

"Karo is currently our biggest problem." Phin put in. "And anyway, she seems to be in charge." I nodded.

"So if we take her out, WD is going to have a tough time getting themselves back together." I said.

" I wouldn't be too sure about that." Liz disagreed. " They don't seem like the kind of people who let their operation be crippled that easily."

"What are you talking about easy?" I asked. "Getting to Karo will probably be harder than taking her down. I mean, we'll have to go through Man Mountain, creepy-hair girl, and other dude that always comes out at the last minute."

"But we already did that." Phin pointed out.

"Do you guys actually think that was their best shot?" I asked. "You're so stupid! They were just waiting until we thought we'd beat them to show how strong the World Division actually is."

"Did you just call us stupid?" Liz asked. I gulped and looked to Phin for assistance. He shrugged in a way that said 'seriously, you're on your own'. I glared at him. He sighed.

"Look, it doesn't matter what he said as long as we work together long enough to stop WD from sicking all those robo-warships on the world." Phin said. We turned to look at him.

"What robo-warships?" I asked.

"The ones I just detected on my scanner." Phin said, turning the hand-held scanner towards us. By the looks of the scanner, there were dozens of heavily armed robotic warships heading out across the globe. I gaped in horror.

"By tomorrow morning…" I began.

"They'll be all over the world, ready to strike." Liz finished. "And there's nothing we'll be able to do to stop them."

"Guess again." Phin said.

Liz's pov

"So how about, Team Linked Ones?" Josh suggested as we walked through the woods in our new, stronger, protective suits.

"No way. That would only work if we had Ferb, Nick, and Ellie with us, and we already decided we weren't going to do that." Phin said.

"Okay, um, Team Awesome!" Josh suggested again.

"Taken. That husband-and-wife couples team on Minute to Win It." I said, picking at the spandex on my arms. "Why don't we just call ourselves the Alliance?" I asked.

"I like that." Phin said. I smiled.

"Really?" I felt butterflies in my stomach for some odd reason.

"Yeah." He smiled back.

"I hate it." Josh said.

"Big surprise there." Phin muttered. I glared at Josh.

"So go jump in a lake." I said. He spread his arms wide.

"That's what we're supposed to be doing anyway!" He yelled.

"Guys, focus. We need to get past the three who have it out for us, find the detonator or whatever it is they're using to control the ships, destroy it, then try to get back to camp alive in the confusion." Phin said.

"Great plan." I said.

"Thanks." Phin answered.

"It'll never work." Josh said.

"Pessimist."

"Optimist."

"Boys."

Phineas: Why do you like risking out lives in these books?

ME: It's what the people want to see. Plus, it's really, really, fun.

Phineas: I'm gonna drop a chainsaw on you. This time on purpose.

ME: Bring it.

*violent noises sound in the back ground*

Liz: Review! (Hopefully we'll all still be alive for the next chapter.)
