The next day, Phineas & Ferb were planning what they were going to do that day. Meanwhile, on their way to the Fletcher-Flynn backyard, Isabella was giving Baljeet some tips about girls.

"The first thing you need to know about girls is we like to get compliments" she explained "it could be about our hair, or our clothes or something, but we like it when boys compliment us. Go ahead, give it a try on me."

"All right; um, your dress is very…clean today."

"Well, that wasn't great, but we'll work on it" Isabella said "next up, some girls like it when guys give them presents. Usually jewelry or candy, but if that's too expensive, you can just make them something."

"You certainly know a lot about girls" Baljeet commented.

"Well, I am one" Isabella explained "plus I watch a lot of romance movies with my mom."

"If you are so well versed in the ways of romance, why did you not help Phineas & Ferb with their love cruise?" Baljeet asked.

"Believe me, if I had known about it, I would've given them some pointers" Isabella replied "now, this girl Riley really seems to like smart boys. But we don't need to worry about you in that department."

"I do get straight A's" Baljeet said proudly.

"I wouldn't open with that" Isabella said "anyway, I know you're going to do just fine. With my help, you'll have that Riley girl fall for you in no time, and then she'll quit being impressed by Phineas."

"Um, if you say so."

"Wow, I never realized how many projects we've done" Phineas commented to his step-brother "good thing we always have a steady supply of ideas."

"You know Todd, I've been thinking" Jacobo said, as he Todd, and Shelton watched the three kids from the back porch "a football field is old news. I wonder if these kids could build a giant robot, like they have in anime."

"Ooh, that would be great" Todd said "one giant robot, coming up."

The redhead sidled up to the two brothers "hey guys, what you up to?"

"Just trying to figure out what to do today" Phineas said "it's hard because we've done a lot already."

"Oh sure" Todd said "hey, you know what might be fun? Building a giant robot, like they have in anime."

"Sorry, we already did that" Phineas explained "we converted some trees into giant robots."

"Yeah, but those were trees, not an actual robot" Todd explained "this would be an actual, metal robot, hopefully with working weapons."

"Oh, we don't make anything with weapons, we're totally non-violent" Phineas explained "anyway, the closest we had to a robot like that was our old Beak suit."

"Your what now?"

"Follow us, we'll show you" Phineas said.

The two boys left, and Todd gestured to his friends to join him.

"So, are we getting a giant robot?" Jacobo asked.

"Maybe, they said something about a beak" Todd explained "we'd better follow them."

The kids followed them to one of the trees in the yard, which they were quickly sucked into.

"Welcome to the Nest" Phineas said, showing them the high-tech interior "Ferb and I built this when we ended up becoming a superhero for a day, which was totally what we were not planning to do that day."

"Whoa!" the three said in awe.

"Here, this is kind of a robot" Phineas said, showing them to a human-sized robot suit "we originally wore this to protect us from our new skate track, then ended up using it to become a superhero. We found it lying downtown for some reason, so we fixed it up and put it in here."

"So what powers does the suit give you?" Todd asked.

"The usual; enhanced strength, flight" Phineas explained "it's pretty cool, once you get the hang of it."

"Hey, why don't you guys figure out what you're going to do today while we sit here and just look at this innocently" Todd suggested.

"Okay" Phineas replied "come see us when you're done looking."

After the two boys left, Todd turned to his pals. "This is our chance guys!" he said "we can become a real-life superhero! We can fight crime and stop trains with our bare hands, smash through walls, and all that other good stuff you read in comics."

"Yeah but only two of us can fit in the suit" Shelton explained "so which one of us will have to…" he looked around to notice that Todd & Jacobo had already gotten inside "awww."

"Dude, why do I have to be the legs?" Jacobo asked.

"'Cause it was my idea" Todd explained "okay Shelton, you can be our sidekick."

"Oh boy, I get to be a sidekick!" Shelton said "with the helping and the assisting."

"All right, time for this city to get a load of…Super Todd! Nah that's lame. How about… The Todd Avenger! Okay, I got it now…the Toddinator, and his sidekick, Nerd Boy!"

"Why not Nerd Man?"

"Sorry, but sidekicks aren't allowed to have the word 'man' in their title" Todd explained "that's reserved for the heroes."

"Well in that case, I'm calling myself Brain Boy, on account of my intelligence" Shelton explained.

"Whatever, let's just go" Todd replied "Toddinator, away! Hmm, how do you work this...thing!" he yelled as the suit propelled both of them out of the Nest and towards downtown Danville.

"Wait for me!" Shelton said, running after them.

"Hey Ferb, did our old Beak suit just go flying off into the distance" Phineas asked. Ferb nodded his head 'no' "Yeah, I didn't think so either. Anyway, let's get back to brainstorming. Hey, where's Perry?"

Making sure his owners weren't looking, Perry lifted up one of the boards of the house's foundation and made his way to his secret base.

"Glad to see you've made it Agent P, we have some urgent news" Major Monogram said "our reports have revealed that Doofenshmirtz has recently entered into a corporate merger with this man"; a photo of Dr. Scorpius then appeared on the viewscreen. "This is Dr. Scorpious, a very dangerous villain with goals of world domination. We also have discovered he's the one who freed the Regurgitator from our prison. We're certain he's up to something big, and we need you to stop it before he can carry it out."

Perry saluted and headed off to his hovercar to do his mission.

After several minutes had passed, Riley approached the boys

"Hey, have you seen Todd and his friends around?" she asked "my mom went shopping with yours and I need to keep an eye on them."

"We just finished showing them the Nest" Phineas explained "they should still be over there."

"Hi Phineas, whatcha doing?" Isabella asked, as she and Baljeet arrived.

"Hey Isabella. Ferb and I are trying to figure out what to do today" he explained "rocket powered bikes? No, I think we did that one. Maybe a sub…nah, we did that too."

"You'll come up with something, you always do" Isabella said "in the meantime, Baljeet, why don't you and Riley go somewhere far from here and discuss things like, oh I don't know, your intelligence."

"I get straight A's" Baljeet replied nervously.

"Good for you; I get straight B's myself" Riley said.

"Wow, you two are hitting it off already" Isabella said "why don't you head inside and get better acquainted?" she added, shoving them towards the house.

"But my brother…"

"I'll let you know if he shows up" Isabella said "now you two have a nice talk."

Isabella shoved both kids inside the house and shut the door. Riley then looked down at the Indian kid, who was sweating nervously.

"That…um, well…I like your tank top, it looks very nice on you."

"Thanks, but I have like, 10 more just like it at home" Riley replied "are you okay? You're sweating a lot."

"Yes well, that is because it is hot in here."

"Really, seems pretty cool to me."

"Cool, yes" Baljeet said nervously "I get straight A's."

"Yeah, you mentioned that earlier" Riley replied.

"I…must go now!" Baljeet said, leaving the room and running outside.

"That was weird" Riley commented "but it wasn't the weirdest thing I've seen."

Jingle: Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, a division of Scorpious Industries!

Perry arrived at the DEI building and snuck in a window. However, he only took a few steps before a cage fell down on him.

"Ah, Perry the platypus, how do you like my new platypus trap?" Doofenshmirtz said, emerging from nearby "well okay it's not new; it's a cage I had lying around, but I haven't used it before now."

Perry said nothing, as usual. "Anyway, I bet Monogram sent you to break up my evil merger, but you're too late. Dr. Scorpious and I are going to wreak havoc around the Tri-State Area and there's nothing you can…"

"Pardon us" one of Scorpious' henchmen said as he carried something through the room.

"Oh sorry" Doof replied "…do to stop us!"

"Coming through" the other henchmen said, with another piece of something.

"Those aren't my henchmen, they're my partner's" Doofenshmirtz explained "you're probably wondering 'why don't you get some henchmen, they'd make your job easier.' Well I spend most of my money on my evil schemes so I couldn't pay them very much, and I'd have to give them benefits and paid vacations, and it's all a big hassle."

"Careful with those pieces" Dr. Scorpious said, coming into the room "that thing has to be operational in half an hour."

"Hey Dr. Scorpious, I want you to meet my nemesis, Perry the platypus" Doofenshmirtz said "Perry the platypus, this is Dr. Scorpious. Dr. Scorpious, Perry the platypus."

"Your arch-nemesis is a platypus?"

"He's a spy platypus, with gizmos and fighting skills" Doofenshmirtz explained "as opposed to a regular platypus, who doesn't do much. So, um, what are we building?"

"Top secret" Scorpious replied.

"But not to me, right?" Doofenshmirtz asked "'cause, you know, it's my company, and I'm supposed to be aware of all new projects."

"Okay, it's a weather controlling machine" Scorpious replied.

"Ohh like my old Gloom-Inator 5000-Inator" Doofenshmirtz said "although I bet this thing makes more than just tornadoes."

"Sure, it makes whatever kind of weather you want" Scorpious replied, uninterested "if you'll excuse me, I have something to attend to."

"He's my partner" Doofenshmirtz explained to Perry, who simply rolled his eyes.

Elsewhere in Danville, Todd had finally gotten a hang of the suit and was flying over the town, looking for evil.

"Man, this blows" he said "here we are in a cool robot suit that fights crime and there's no crime! A purse snatcher, a jaywalker, heck, I'll take a litterbug at this point!"

"Yeah this isn't as fun as I thought it would be" Jacobo added from the leg section.

The two kids maneuvered the Beak suit and landed on the street, posing as heroically as they could. Moments later, an out of breath Shelton reached them.

"Dude, where have you been?"

"Sorry, not all of us have a fancy crime fighting suit, with the flying and the zooming and the 'oh please slow down I'm getting cramps.'"

"Doesn't matter, this place is totally dull" Todd said "let's back to those kids and see if they can cook us up…"

"A-ha!"

Todd & Shelton turned to the source of the noise and saw a purple and green clad man in a hovercraft nearby.

"Well, if it isn't my old foe the Beak" he said "or, as he's better known, two kids in a suit, thank you very much."

"Do I know you?" Todd asked.

"Nice try Beak, but you can't fool me, even if you look and sound different and seem to have acquired a nerdy sidekick" he said "and now, you shall face the wrath of Khaka Peu Peu!"

The three kids then burst out laughing.

"Man, that has to be the worst villain name ever" Todd commented.

"Why does everyone find my name so funny?" Khaka wondered "It means 'strong fist.'"

"Maybe in your mind" Todd replied "to most people, it means poop. Ha ha, poop!"

"Why did I never pick up on that?" Khaka wondered "well never mind, just prepare to meet your doom, thank you very much."

The villain zoomed upwards in his hovercraft and attached it to a large green spider-like robot.

"Behold, my new and improved Khaka Crawler, thank you very much!" he said "I made it with parts I got from my new partners. Except, they were secret partners and I probably shouldn't have mentioned them."

"Now we're talking" Todd said, getting into a fighting stance "surrender, villain, or face, the Toddinator!"

"And his sidekick Nerd Boy, who really adds nothing to the fight" Shelton added.

"I don't know why you won't admit you're the Beak, and I don't care, thank you very much" Khaka said "all I know is that you're going to have the worst day ever."

"That's what you think!" Todd bellowed "prepare to face my….um, time out, I don't know how to make this thing attack."

Suddenly, one of the legs of the Khaka Crawler slammed the Toddinator into a nearby store window.

"Okay, maybe taking this suit wasn't such a hot idea" Todd said.

"You think?" Jacobo chimed in.

Back at the Fletcher-Flynn house, Candace & Riley were watching TV, while Candace waited for her brothers to come up with something so she could bust them.

"What's the deal with that Baljeet kid?" Riley asked "I was talking with him today and he was acting all weird and sweating a lot."

"Beats me, that kid has always been a little strange" Candace replied.

"We interrupt this program for an important bulletin" said a voice from the TV "the superhero known as the Beak has returned to Danville and is once again battling the villainous and stupidly named, Khaka Peu Peu. We'll supply you with further updates when we get them."

"The Beak? But those two are in the backyard, I just saw them" Candace said "unless…they've made clones of themselves so they can be in two places at once! All I need to do is get one and I can prove everything to mom!"

"Too bad my mom's out right now" Riley commented "she'd handle that Khaka guy. Man, that name is stupid."

"What, is your mom some kind of superhero?"

"I can't say."

"What's up with your parents anyway?" Candace asked "your mom has blonde hair and your dad has black, but you and your brother are both redheads."

"We're adopted" Riley replied.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know."

"It's okay" Riley said "It only happened about a year or two ago."

"So, your real parents…"

"Gone" Riley explained, fighting back tears "car accident. Todd and I lived in an orphanage for a while until we got adopted. I can't really go into it more than that."

"Awww, that's so sad" Candace said "I can kinda relate; my dad skipped out on us a year or so ago. Then mom met Lawrence and I got a new dad and brother. Guess we're not so different."

"I guess not" Riley replied.

"I'm sorry about all the meanness earlier" Candace said "it's just, Phineas & Ferb are always stressing me out with their crazy schemes."

"I hear ya" Riley said "I do everything to try and help Todd make the right decisions, but some days, I just want to throw up my hands and let him get in trouble."

"Little brothers, they can be a pain sometimes" Candace added.

"Oh yeah."

"You're kind of like the sister I always wanted but never got" Candace said.

"Thanks. You'd make a swell older sister too."

Both girls remained silent for a moment, before Riley spoke up. "If you want, we could go check out that Beak thing."

"I'll drive!" Candace shouted.

In the next chapter, Candace & Riley bond further, Doof discovers his new partner's true plans for his company, and Todd and co continue their battle with Khaka Peu Peu. Also, Phineas & Ferb finally figure out what they're going to do today.
