I am FINALLY updating! So, so, so, so, so, so, so sorry about the long update, I'm really focusing on my Three Platypi and an Evil Organization series, but I should be moving a bit faster on this one now ;P ;P

I DO NOT OWN PHINEAS AND FERB OR RUMPLESTILTSKEN FROM ONCE UPON A TIME (he is hinted at a tiny bit in the beginning ;P). ANY CHARACTER YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE IS PROBABLY MINE

(Lydia's POV)

Lydia teleported to the Flynn-Fletcher's backyard in a cloud of purple magic. Her eyes widened when she spotted Phineas and Ferb's invention. "Do my eyes deceive me, or is that a dimension portal?"

"Yes, yes it is," Phineas grinned.

"Great!" Lydia clasped her hands together. She spotted the two platypi who were laying under the tree together and walked over. "So, no Peter or Grace underfoot? That's new."

Perry and Jeanette stayed silent.

I said something wrong again,Lydia realized. "There's a reason why Phineas and Ferb are making a portal, isn't there?"

Perry nodded, and handed Lydia a note. Lydia grabbed and read it. "THAT'S where they are."

Lydia couldn't help but chuckle a bit.Leave it up to Peter and Grace to walk towards a mysterious hole instead of away. Maybe I've been around them too much.

She saw Jeanette's face. "Are you doing okay?"

"Oui," Jeanette replied with a forced smile.

The glance Lydia gave her let Jeanette know that Rumplestiltsken's daughter didn't believe her.

Jeanette sighed and pressed herself up against Perry.

(Jeanette's POV)

They're fine. They're fine. They're fine, Jeanette kept mentally repeating.

"I'm going to help them more," Perry murmured quietly, kissing his mate's cheek.

"Bien," Jeanette replied softly in French. "Ils seront bien. Ils seront bien. Ils seront bien."

"Whatcha sayin?" Jeanette looked up and saw Isabella staring down at her.

Jeanette smiled. "Just reassuring myself that Crystal, Peter, and Grace are sans danger."

"What?"

"Safe."

"Oh." Isabella paused. "This must be hard for you and Perry."

Jeanette sighed. "We know where they are, that helps."

"But of course you're both still scared; you especially."

Before Jeanette could respond, a cheer rose up from the kids. "It's done!"

Jeanette grinned and immediately stood up. She grabbed Perry's paw and squeezed it.

"Alright," Lydia called, "anyone who wants to go to the second dimension get in a line, so I can count you up."

Perry seemed to know what he was doing, so Jeanette just followed him. Lydia pulled a notepad and pencil out of thin air. She began scribbling names down. "Baljeet, Candace, Perry, Jeanette... I'd better write down your kids' names," Lydia spoke to the two platypi. "I shall assume that they'll be coming back with us, so Crystal and the two troublemakers..." Lydia ended the list with a flourish of her pencil. "Alright, everyone, buckle up!"

"'Buckle up'?" Jeanette quoted in confusion. "I thought we were walking through the portal."

"It's an expression," Perry explained.

"Let's get going!" Phineas shouted.

Jeanette paused. Peter, Grace, and Crystal had vanished without anything to help Jeanette and Perry find them. If Jeanette hadn't found that note, she'd be worried beyond belief. Not that she wasn't worried, just not as scared as she had been. "Perhaps you should leave a note for your parents," she murmured.

"That's a good idea," Candace commented.

Lydia handed Phineas the notepad and pencil. "What should I say?" he asked Jeanette.

Jeanette thought for a moment. "Where you are going and when you left."

"Oh, and when we'll get back?"

Lydia laughed. "It would be amazing if you could write down a date and it actually be accurate."

Jeanette shook her head. "Non. If your parents are told a specific date, then they will be even more worried when you're not back by then."

"It'll get their hopes up," Perry murmured.

"Okay." Phineas paused. "Anything else?"

Jeanette hesitated. "Who you are going with." Linda, Lawrence, Vivian, Bif, and Mrs. Tjinder had no idea what the second dimension was like- Jeanette had a bit of an idea from what Perry told her- so that would get them even more scared. Knowing their children were with safe people would help.

"So you, Perry, and Lydia?"

Jeanette nodded.

"I think your parents knowing that you're with three trained agents- one of them magical- will definitely help," Lydia grinned.

"Alright... Done!" Phineas handed the pencil and notepad back to Lydia. She ripped the note off of the pad and ran inside.

Jeanette smiled and leaned her head against Perry's chest, staring through the portal. "I suppose we will have to wait to enter until Lydia is back?" she murmured to Perry.

"Yep," Perry sighed.

Luckily, it was only a couple minutes before Lydia ran back out, a backpack slung on her shoulder and a small suitcase in hand. "Okay," she said breathlessly. "Let's get going."

Buford rolled his eyes. "Don't tell me you wasted more of our time to pack a bunch of girl stuff."

"These, Buford, are necessities for survival," Lydia replied.

"I didn't know dresses were that important."

Lydia huffed, opened up a pocket of the backpack, and tossed something to Buford. He caught it, and it fumbled around in his hands before Jeanette could get a good look at it. Finally she managed to see it, though. It was a gun.

Her eyes widened as Lydia explained. "Remember the robot attack, Buford? The second dimension is dangerous. We nearly died there the first time; I'm not risking it again."

Buford continued staring at the gun in his hands. "Is that 'girl stuff,' Buford?"

Jeanette had to suppress a smirk and use self-control not to clap. Lydia knew how to handle stereotyping boys well, especially when they were stereotyping girls. Ever since Jeanette had moved to America, she had been stereotyped by nearly everyone except Perry. To them she was the delicate, French female who couldn't handle herself. Which was frustrating, because she was a trained agent who was probably tougher than the people who said that about her.

Buford didn't reply; he just glared at Lydia and sent the gun flying back in her direction. She caught it with ease and placed it back in its pocket.

Jeanette growled softly; every minute they wasted arguing was a minute her children could be getting hurt in the other dimension.

Perry must have sensed his mate's impatience rising. "Is everyone ready?" Jeanette heard at least five yeses.

Finally, she thought. "Lydia, do you have the bags?" Lydia nodded, and Jeanette grinned. "Then let's go."

She stepped through the portal, Perry's paw in her's. The platypus felt a little tingle- probably from the excitement of knowing she was stepping into another dimension.

Jeanette immediately realized how different everything looked.

(Meanwhile...)

Kiki stared at the three platypi who had entered the portal. They were silent, just looking around their surroundings.

"Well, this is rotten luck, isn't it?" Kiki hissed to Perry-2.

Her mate didn't reply; he was gazing at the platypi.

"Where are we?" a little female platypus asked again, sounding incredibly scared.The poor girl.

Another female whispered to her sharply. "See, Grace? I told you not to go, and you ignored me." Her voice had a nervous tone to it, but she tried to cover it up with growling. "Because apparently, even though I'm your older sister, I don't know anything."

"You're only older than us, by, like, two hours," a male platypus retorted.

"Yeah, but I'm still the oldest."

"Grace" looked around nervously as the other two platypi bickered. Her eyes had a hint of recognition, and a hint of shock was there, too. She turned to look past Kiki- to Perry. Her eyes widened in alarm and she nearly shrieked.

The other two platypi- her siblings, probably- immediately quit arguing and looked at her. "Grace, what is it?"

"Grace" put a paw to her beak. Her sister was obviously concerned. "Grace?"

"Grace" managed to choke something- inaudible to Kiki- out, pointing to Kiki's mate. The other two platypi followed her gaze, and their eyes augmented to twice their normal size.

Kiki looked back at Perry, exchanging a concerned glance with him.We need to find out who they are.The fox walked over to the platypi and got on her knees. "What is it?"

The oldest platypus stepped protectively in front of her younger siblings. "N-n-nothing." Her stutter ruined the brave position she was in.

"Okay," Kiki murmured. "Listen, I know that you're scared and that you don't have a clue what's going on. But if you want to find out, you have to trust me. So how about this: we exchange information. You tell me a certain amount of things about you and your siblings, and I'll share the same amount of facts with you."

The platypus inhaled deeply. She seemed to like the idea. "Alright. I'm Crystal, and these are my siblings, Grace and Peter. I'm the oldest; we're two years old." Crystal crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at Kiki, reminding the fox of someone she knew really well in the process. "Now, where are we?"

Poor Jeanette : ( Well, there's a happy reunion next chapter! ;P ;P
