Meanwhile, over at the Fletcher-Flynn residence, Candace was lying on her bed, talking on the phone to her friend Stacy Hirano.

"No, it's actually been really quiet around here, can you believe it?" Candace asked "maybe Phineas & Ferb finally decided to give up on their crazy ideas."

"That doesn't sound like them" Stacy replied.

"Good point" Candace said "well you know what, I'm not even going to bother with them today, Yup, I'm in such a good mood, I don't care what those little monkeys build."

"Wow Candace, this is a real breakthrough for you" Stacy replied "any other time you'd be obsessed with trying to bust your brothers. I'm very proud."

"Yup, I guess I'm just maturing" Candace said.

It was then that she heard some crashing going on from the backyard.

"Okay Ferb, set it down over there" she heard Phineas call from outside.

"I'm not going to look, I'm not going to look" Candace chanted to herself "oh, who am I kidding?" and she quickly peered out her window.

She saw what appeared to be a mound of large white pasty stuff covering nearly the entire backyard.

"Oh, this is it, they are sooo busted this time!" she said with glee "gotta go Stacy, talk to you later."

"Okay" Stacy sighed, as Candace signed off.

"Mom, mom, mom! You have to look outside, Phineas & Ferb are doing something!" Candace shouted, as she rushed into the living room where her mom sat.

"Okay Candace, I'll go check on them" Linda Flynn replied. She got off the couch and was about to head to the backyard, when she heard the doorbell ring "after I get the door."

"No, mom, if you don't go now everything will be gone!"

Linda ignored her daughter's words and opened the door. Standing behind it was Agent K, having discarded her catsuit for a pair of grey slacks and a light blue shirt.

"Linda Flynn?"

"Yes?"

"Don't you remember? It's me, Katherine Bond."

"Oh, my old college roommate, of course" Linda said "come in, come in."

"Mom, I really think you should…"

"Candace, this is Katherine Bond, she was my roommate back in college" Linda explained, ignoring her daughter "oh, the fun times we had back then. Katherine, this is my daughter Candace."

"Nice to meet you" Candace said half-heartedly "mom, you need to look at what Phineas & Ferb are…"

"Not now Candace, I'm trying to reconnect with an old friend" Linda replied "so Katherine, what brings you into town?"

"Funny story" K explained "we came here so my daughter could accept an award for academic excellence. Well, it seems my husband forgot to book us a hotel, and so…"

"Say no more" Linda said "if you want to stay here, you're more than welcome to. Then maybe you can introduce me to this family of yours."

"What?" Candace asked "mom, they can't stay here, we don't have enough room."

"We'll find some" Linda replied "of course, I'm sure you'll be willing to lend them use of your bedroom."

"You mean I have to share my bedroom with someone I don't know?" Candace whined "oh, this is so unfair!"

Linda of course, ignored her daughter "so, can I meet the others?'

"Of course" K said, as the others entered the house "this is my husband, Dick Daring. He's a professional stuntman."

"Sounds dangerous" Linda commented "I assume you use all the proper safety procedures."

"Sometimes" Dick replied.

"And these are our children, Todd & Riley" K continued "in fact, Riley is the reason we're here; she's been chosen to receive the 'Excellence Award', which rewards those with high marks in school."

"Well congratulations. And aren't you just the spitting image of your mother?" Linda said.

"Um, actually…" Riley began.

"And these are their friends, Jacobo, Shelton, & Tasumi" K interrupted, finishing off the intros.

"Hello nice lady" Shelton said.

"Nice to meet you" Linda replied "you know, my sons Phineas & Ferb are in the backyard right now working on something. Why don't you go out and play with them? I'm sure they'd love to meet you."

"Thanks lady, but I didn't even want to be here in the first place" Todd said.

"Todd Daring, that's very rude!" K said "you apologize right now young man."

"It's okay, he doesn't have to play if he doesn't want to" Linda said "come on, I want you to meet my husband Lawrence. He's around here somewhere."

Linda led the couple into another part of the house. Meanwhile Candace, angry that she missed yet another chance to catch her brothers in the act, stormed off with a defeated expression on her face.

"Man this blows!" Todd said, once the adults were gone "we're stuck in some weird town so we can attend an awards show for Riley, and now we have to stay at this dump overnight."

"You should try being grateful Todd" Riley said "it's nice to meet new people."

"Pfft, I'll stick to the people I know" Todd said "besides, who knows what kind of wackos live in this place?"

At that moment, outside, Phineas was giving orders to his step-brother.

"Okay Ferb, bring the helicopter a little closer, closer…"

"Hey Phineas, whatcha doing?" Isabella asked in her usual way.

"Oh hey Isabella" Phineas replied "Ferb and I are making a gaint pizza to share with everyone in Danville. Wanna help?"

"Well, I do need to earn my 'cook large Italian food patch', so sure."

"Great, just wait until Ferb puts on the sauce" Phineas said "okay Ferb, drop the load!"

The green haired boy gave a thumbs-up and positioned his helicopter to dump the giant vat of sauce he was carrying, sending it down on the giant dough below.

"Perfect" Phineas said "now for the cheese."

From inside the Daring house, the giant pizza scheme was not going unnoticed.

"Todd, you have to see this!" Jacobo said, "those kids out there are making a giant pizza."

"What?" Todd asked, and peered out the window "whoa, you're right! Come on, let's find out what they're up to" he said, heading out the back door, with Jacobo and Shelton right behind.

"Where are those three off to?" Riley asked.

"Probably off to another adventure" Tasumi replied "we should go with them."

"I told you Tasumi, our family does not always have cool adventures, okay?" Riley explained "this is all just one big coincidence, you'll see."

Meanwhile, in another part of Danville, a mysterious shadowy figure was meeting with two other…mysterious shadowy figures.

"Glad you gentlemen could make it" the first one said.

"Can we get this over with?" one of them asked "I need to get back home with toilet paper, or my wife will be furious, thank you very much."

"Yeah, what's this about?" the other asked.

"Very well" the first figure began "I have brought you both here because I have a plan that will allow us to take over the world."

"I don't know, taking over the world isn't really my thing" the second figure said.

"If you do, your wife will stop nagging you" the first one replied.

"Well in that case, sign me up."

"I'm in too" the other figure said "so what is this plan?"

"All in due time" the first figure said "first, we must deal with the one person who can stop our plan…Agent K!

Who are these mystery figures and what is their plan? (although you've probably figured out who one of them is by now). In the next chapter, Todd befriends the duo, and plans to use them for his own mischievous ends. Meanwhile, there's love and jealously going on, but you'll have to read on to find out between whom.
