A/N: Here we are, everyone, the final chapter of "Taken Away", which I guarantee you will be quite exciting, especially at the end! Thanks, everyone, for sticking with this story and giving me praise, since this is my first time writing down Marie and Thomas and their universe. Special thanks goes to Animegx43, who helped me allow for the usage of these OCs; actually, he/she informed me that it was okay if I DIDN'T ask for permission as long as I explicitly recognize their real owners, which explains all the "Important Disclaimers" sections that began all of the chapters.

Enough chitchat! ENJOY!

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS:

-Marie Flynn DOES NOT belong to me in any way! All claims of ownership fall to Angelus19 and sam-ely-ember.
-Thomas Fletcher DOES NOT belong to me in any way! All claims of ownership fall to Melty19.
-Jasmine Rai DOES NOT belong to me in any way! All claims of ownership fall to sam-ely-ember and Melty19.

Four days ago, Marie and Thomas were kidnapped by Phineas and Ferb's vengeful rivals Thaddeus and Thor, who held them against their will for a torturous twenty-four hours. Despite all of the brutal action that transpired during these hours, things have now resettled back to how they were before the abduction occurred in two days' time. Perry and Steve resumed committing to their duties as secret agents without worrying about their owners, Thomas continued to openly doubt the credibility of his grandfather Doofenshmirtz's rants, Jazz started annoying Thomas again about his crush on Marie, and Marie, her father's daughter, began inventing again, as evidenced by the current activity in the Flynn backyard. It was as if the kidnapping and the events that happened during that close call with tragedy never happened.

Finishing his cup of coffee, Phineas stared out of the window and smiled at the sight of his daughter, happy that she had started inventing again with Thomas and Jazz without worries. His inspiring story and the pin he gave to her definitely reached into her soul and exterminated all traces of influence from Thaddeus, who would now rot in a prison cell knowing that his plan of revenge was unsuccessful. He knew that the nightmare had yet to be completely over; Lieutenant Kestler had asked him, Marie, Thomas, and Ferb to testify against the disgraced inventor in his trial, which was set to begin in the next month. Though that meant bringing back the memories of that harrowing incident, but Marie was especially determined to put away her kidnapper and would-be father's killer behind bars forever.

Just then, Phineas noticed that Marie started constructing her invention immediately. Without any sort of explosive material.

Setting down his cup, the inventor ventured outside of the backyard and approached Marie, who appeared to be making some sort of beacon.

"Hey, Marie," he greeted. "Whatcha' doin', inventing without explosives for once?"

Marie looked up at her father, the cheerful smile that he severely treasured still in place. "It's a surprise, Daddy..." she said, winking.

"Would you mind if I help?"

"No! It's a surprise for you; I don't want you to see! Go, go back inside the house, Daddy! I'll tell you once it's done."

Phineas nodded. "Alright, sweetie," he replied.

As he walked back inside the house, he found Isabella waiting for him.

"She's back to normal," she commented.

"Yes, yes she is." Phineas sighed with content and stared after his daughter, smiling widely. "She's been through quite a lot, even nearly experiencing death, but she proves that the Flynn spirit can never, ever be broken. ...I'm so proud of her, and I'll always be, no matter what."

Isabella wrapped an arm around his shoulder and laid her head against his other shoulder lovingly. "Do you think she'll ever find out about what happened to us and the gang back in high school? The one with...you-know-what?"

"I doubt she will. She knows that we kept that part of our history from her for a reason."

"But just because she understands why we kept that secret from her, doesn't mean she'll never learn the whole truth. Not all of the Coalition agents were captured, you know. And who knows where those remnants are, or if they're preparing for a revenge scheme-"

Phineas stared at his wife seriously. "It's been fifteen years since we fought them, Isabella. They haven't shown their faces since. They're gone."

Isabella looked into Phineas's eyes and nodded reluctantly, just as Marie's voice filled the backyard.

"DADDY, DADDY, IT'S READY!"

"Coming, sweetie!" Phineas kissed Isabella's forehead once before running back out into the backyard, finding Marie, Thomas, and Jazz, the former holding, just as he had guessed, a beacon-like device. "What is that, Marie?"

Marie's smiled widened. "Watch," she said. She then pressed a button on the beacon, and all of a sudden, a hologram filled the backyard.

Phineas's eyes widened in a mixture of shock and happiness. He was surrounded by stars, planets, and flying comets. At the center of the hologram, a bright sun-like star illuminated the otherwise-dark landscape of the projection. The father then looked at Marie, who smiled at him through the stars.

"Do you like it, Daddy?" she asked.

Phineas smiled back at his daughter. "More than anything else in the world, aside from you, sweetie."

Marie giggled, and then, she began walking towards her father, essentially gliding through the stars and the comets and the planets. Phineas couldn't help but shed a tear as he watched his daughter tear through the Universe, just to be with him. Once she had approached him, she held out her hand.

"May I have this dance?"

Phineas's smile widened, and he took Marie's head.

"Of course, Marie."

Isabella, Thomas, and Jazz watched as Phineas and Marie began gliding through the Universe, slowly dancing, off in their own little world.

While watching the father and daughter dance, Jazz playfully nudged Thomas's shoulder.

"So, Thomas," she said, "did you tell Marie about your feelings towards her?"

Thomas suddenly froze. "I did," he replied.

"So? How'd it go?"

"Listen, Marie, I wanted to ask you something... I really want us to be more than friends... What do you say?"

"Oh, Tommy, I'd really love that!"

"Y-You mean it?"

"Of course I do! From now on, we are BEST FRIENDS!"

...

"Hello? Thomas? I said how'd it go?"

Thomas simply replied, "Let's just say that it's gonna be harder than I thought..."

Phineas and Marie smiled at each other as they concluded their dance, and the beacon retracted the holographic projection of the Universe.

"I love you, Marie," Phineas said.

The response he received gave him the widest smile he ever had.

"I love you too, Daddy."
