Chapter 13

Lily's POV

I looked at Perry and nodded. I was ready to do my part. I sat down on the floor and grasped my necklace with my paw, gently of course. I closed my eyes for a moment. I will not let this happen again. Let those I care about get hurt by humans. I fled last time; I was too afraid last time. But not anymore, no, I have to help. Mom, give me strength, just like you did when you saved me.

I then opened my eyes and hissed.

"We have to act now!"

"Okay." Perry nodded. It was a little creepy seeing Candace's body right there and her voice. If I did not know what I did to them, I would have thought Perry was Candace and Pinky was some random teenager. Let's hope I am not the only one fooled by this. I thought.

Perry's POV

I looked at Lily for a minute before looking back over at the scene. My eyes stretched wider at what I saw.

"So here are your tools, and a timer set to 10:00 minutes, and here is the robot just outside your cage holding your girlfriend. Just remember, you have 10:00 minutes or else, she will lose a lung or two." Dr. D said with an evil smile.

"Your evil." Phineas growled.

"That is the point little boy! WHAHAHA!" Dr. D laughed a fairly good evil laugh. I know it is a stupid thing to notice at a time like this, but all of sudden, he had a good evil laugh.

"Go!" Lily hissed at me. I nodded. Then Pinky and I launched ourselves into battle. We kicked, punched, smashed, and thrashed that big bucket of bolts that held Isabella. We did not lighten up our attack until that robot was on the ground and the unconscious Isabella was safely in Pinky's human teenage arms.

"Candace!"

At first I was confused, what was Candace doing here? Then it hit me, and I felt even more stupid. I am Candace.

"Candace! What are you doing here?" Phineas called to me.

Before I could speak, Dr. D spoke up.

"Shut up little boy! Who Can…? Wait… I know you; it is Perry the teenage girl!" Dr. D screamed.

I cringed slightly. I had completely forgotten the time me and Candace had switched bodies. Of course Dr. D would remember! I exchanged a panic glance with Pinky. We were both thinking the same thing.

Before anyone could say anything, Lily stepped in, once again saving my tail.

"Don't you know her? It is Candace the teenage girl and her uh… best friend side." Lily paused, hearing a growl from Pinky. I guessed he did not want to be the sidekick. "I mean best friend side of… life. As in they are agent partners and must keep their life secret from others…" Lily meowed flicking a warning glance at me and Pinky. Nice save Lily, but I pushed that away. Focusing on the glare Lily was giving us, her gaze seemed to be willing us to speak.

"That is right. Call me Candace." I growled.

"And call me Britney" Pinky growled.

Ferb's POV

I stood there beside Phineas, watching what was going on in front of us. I could not believe it. My own step sister was a secret agent! That was so unbelievable! To be honest… I did not completely believe it. Yet, there was proof right before me. Yet, I was suspicious. Why did Doofenshrimtz say, 'Perry the teenage girl?' Something was up, that was clear. But I knew not to dwell on it. I pushed it out of my mind and focused on what was happening outside of the cage I was imprisoned in.

"So Lily. Care to enlighten me on why you know so much about this, or better yet. Why these two are in my building and not in chains?" Dr. D asked. His voice smooth as ice.

"I let them in." Lily growled. "I figured this would be the best way to stop you. I am through with you. I rather live on the streets then follow a jerk like you!"

"I do not like being betrayed Lily. Once I defeat these two human teenagers, I will make sure to deal with you personally." Dr. D growled.

"You can try!" I heard Candace scream stepping in front of Lily. The two glanced at each other. A look I could not read passed between them before Candace launched herself into action. Dr. D and Candace were throwing punches, kicks, and pushing each other around.

"Attack robot!" I heard Dr. D scream.

I then watched as Isabella was gently set down next to Lily before Britney launched herself into action.

There was so much going through my mind, yet, I knew all along, we should try to get ourselves out of this mind, yet we were powerless to do so.

Lily's POV

I was afraid; I knew I would get myself killed because of this. But I could not chicken out now; I had to save my former friends. People I still cared about, but hated me. Just like my family must have hated me for getting them all killed. I was too afraid to help last time, to weak, but no, not again. I growled and gently grabbed Isabella by her collar, dragging her into a safe hiding place. I still did not like Isabella, but I needed to save her along with Phineas and Ferb. Taking one last check at the invention, that would record the scene so it could be zapped into others mind later to make sure, it was still operational; I snuck over to Phineas' and Ferb's cage. I avoid the fighting with expert skills.

Once at the cage, I looked at Phineas and Ferb with sad eyes. They would never forgive me.

"I know you hate me." I whispered sadly. "I do not deserve your kindness. But, you have to get out of here. Candace and Britney can battle, but only I can get you out of here. I know you cannot trust your life with me, but do you have another option?"

Both boys were silent for a moment. I was afraid they would refuse my help. That would make my job almost impossible.

"Fine." Phineas said

I looked up in surprise.

"Really?"

"We did not give you enough of a chance to explain yourself Lily. We heard your story about your past." I saw Phineas gaze rest on my necklace. "Your mom sounded like a wonderful cat."

"Besides, it is not like it was your fault you stumbled upon a crazy doctor." Ferb stated.

I chuckled slightly. "Yeah." Then I leaped up onto the top of the cage and turned off the electric shock around the cage. Then I was able to unlock it and jump inside. I then step up the wooden box that Dr. D's robot threw into the cage so that the brothers could climb out. I then jumped out of the cage and waited for Phineas and Ferb to climb out. Once both were out we hurried away from the cage.

"Sweet fr…!" Phineas began then I slapped my tail over his mouth.

"Shut up!" I hissed quietly. "We need to stay quiet, or else we will be quiet." I smiled slightly in amusement. "I know that will be challenge for you Phineas…"

"Shut up Lily." Phineas growled at me.

I nodded then hurried along to where I left Isabella.

"Phineas! Ferb!" I leaped to the side so the friends could hug and could become reacquainted. I smiled slightly. Then flicked my tail.

"Come on." The four of us then hurried away through the door and to the elevator.

"Go down to the bottom floor. Then leave the building than run home. Do not look back. Candace and Britney will be fine. I promise."

"What about you?" Phineas asked.

I sighed sadly. "I do not know. We will just have to see."

"Good luck Lily." Ferb muttered to me.

"Yeah." I sighed. "Thanks for taking care of me. I will hopefully see you guys around again.

The three exchanged glances. "Yeah."

I watched the three friends hurry to the elevator. Phineas pressed the button. Right before the door opened, I remembered something.

"Wait! Isabella!" I called.

Isabella turned to me, clearly suspicious.

"Good luck with Phineas." I winked. "You two love birds."

Isabella blushes, but I saw her smile. "Thanks Lily."

I nodded, and then all of us froze in our place. A scream sounded through the whole building.

"That was Candace!" Phineas screamed in alarm.

"Get home!" I growled at Phineas. "I will deal with this. I promised you Candace and Britney would get home alive, I still intend that to happen. I also plan to do it while making sure you three are okay and not hurt."

The three hesitated then nodded.

"Good bye Lily." Phineas whispered.

"Good bye Phineas, Ferb, Isabella. Hopefully our paths will cross again at a brighter time." I whispered before hurrying away. I did not dare think about what would happen if Perry was dead.

A/N

Suspense! I hate ending chapters like this but hey, whatever.

I know you will hate me for this, but guess what? I have the last chapter and epilogue all typed up. I will post them when I finish editing them and uh… once I am sure people want an update. (Hint: Review. ;))
