Disclaimer: I don't own Phineas and Ferb. Neither the show, nor any of the characters. Such a shame.

Author's note: This happens during the final three songs of the Musical Cliptastic Countdown.

Chapter 11: "Me, Candace Flynn. The sister, secret agent, and pop star."

In the studio:

"Say, Doofenshmirtz, what'cha working on over here?" the Major asked, walking up to the tinkering scientist.

"Your doom." The deranged doctor sneered.

A steel cage dropped from the ceiling, trapping Monogram.

"Sweet googly moogly!" the Major exclaimed. (A/N: at least I think that's what he said.) He then turned to Carl. "Get me Agent P."

"He's in the green room, sir" the intern replied.

Monogram sighed. "Well, that should be easy then." He turned to the audience and smiled. "Please enjoy music video number two."

In the green room:

Carl just finished explaining the situation to Perry. The platypus jumped off his chair and headed towards the studio, then turned and looked in his partner's direction.

Candace, however, was busy helping Phineas and Ferb set up the stage for their special performance of their one-hit wonder band.

Perry sighed and ran towards the main room.

Back in the studio:

Perry crept into the room, unnoticed by anyone. He took a quick look around and registered three things:

- the Major was trapped in a cage, just like Carl said.

- Doofenshmirtz had switched on some machine which showed his head spinning around.

- that machine had hypnotized the entire audience, which was now slowly stumbling towards the doctor.

Perry sighed again and ran back to get Candace's help.

Candace's room:

Perry ran in and started chattering quickly. Luckily, Candace had her earphone on, so she understood him.

The Major is trapped in a cage and Doofenshmirtz hypnotized the audience, Perry quickly explained.

"Any idea on what we're gonna do?" Candace asked him, worried.

Well…Ok, how about I handle Doof and Monogram's cage and you think of a way to snap the audience out of it? Noticing that Candace was staring at Phineas and the Ferbtones setting up, he snapped his beak impatiently.

Hello, Earth to Candace. Did you hear the plan?

"Yes, I heard you." Candace smiled mysteriously. "And I think I can kill two birds with one stone here."

What are you talking about? Perry asked her, confused.

"You'll see." she said and gently pushed him out of the room. "Now go do your part and leave the rest to me."

The studio (again):

Perry was standing by the machine, wondering what Candace was planning to do. He was so busy trying to figure it out even Doofenshmirtz's rant couldn't be heard.

He looked at the covered stage and then it hit him.

On the covered stage:

Phineas and Ferb were about to raise the curtain when Candace rushed in.

"Hey guys, any chance I can sing this song with you?"

Phineas smiled. "No problem, sis. We were kinda hoping you'd ask." With that, Ferb tossed her a spare microphone.

Good, we're in business, Candace thought, then the curtain rose and they started singing.

In the studio:

The Major saw Candace singing the number 1 hit song from the countdown and understood Perry's plan. "Oh, I see." He smiled gleefully.

Meanwhile, Perry proceeded to stuff Doofenshmirtz into his own cage.

Candace sang her way merrily through the song, while watching Perry defeat the doctor.

Once the song finished, she felt better than ever before in her life, watching the Major, Perry, and everyone else applauding, and, in the audience's case, unhypnotized.

They love me, she thought, elated. Me, Candace Flynn. The older sister, secret agent, and now pop star.

Author's note: Ok, I'm getting tired of using the episodes as storylines, so I'll flash forward three years and start wrapping this story up with original material. Expect the character death in chapter 13.
