Other Dimension Doofenshmirtz was pretty surprised to see just me being brought in. He even seemed a little mad about it. Dr. D didn't seem to mind though. The normbot stopped in front of the dictator so we were now face to face. His one eye stared into my soul, but I glared at him.

"Where's your brother?" he asked me.

"I'm not telling you that," I said bravely, "He's clearly not with me, so you have no use for me. You can just let me go now."

"Oh, you're going to be tough, huh? You thought that if you came by yourself that your brother and all your little friends would be safe? News flash! They'll probably come back for you. They went back for Perry the Platypus. Pfft, you just doomed them as well as yourself."

I didn't think of that. Phineas could be so furious that he'd come back for me. Other Dimension Candace wouldn't have let him, would she?

"You, lock her in a cell, and we'll send out a little message to the kid," Other Dimension Doofenshmirtz ordered Dr. D.

Dr. D and the normbots took me away, and I was thrown in a cell. Dr. D stayed though for some reason. I sat down, and I hugged my knees. Dr. D still didn't leave.

"What?" I snapped.

"I didn't think it would come to this. I never meant for anyone to get hurt, you know," he explained, "I would never intentionally hurt you kids or any other kids for that matter."

"Yeah, well fat lot of good you did trying to help us," I snapped.

"Hey, to be honest, when he commanded that platyborg to hurt you and your brothers, I was concerned- -"

"I don't wanna hear it. If you hadn't built that stupid invention in the first place, this never would have happened."

It was really quiet after that, and I guess he walked away since the next time I looked to him, he was gone. How could I be so stupid? Phineas went back for PERRY, and he was mad at him. Phineas isn't mad at me. Of course he'd be back for me. Ugh, this sacrifice is backfiring on me now.


Phineas' POV

"You have to let me go!"

There was an announcement on the Doofenchannel about the capture of Marissa. He even spoke out to me personally. If I didn't go there, he'd kill her! I can't let him do that to her! I can't just abandon her after she sacrificed herself for me and Ferb and everyone else. It's not her fault she's afraid of fire! Other Dimension Candace- -as well as the rest of the Resistance and my family- -doesn't want me to go since it's obviously a trap. Trap or not, I can't just abandon my family! Heck, I was mad at Perry, and I went back for him! I pleaded Other Dimension Candace to let me go back for her.

"No way, kid," she responded, "That's what Doofenshmirtz wants."

"So what? That's my sister!" I shouted, "Take care of my family, and get them home safely. I'm going back for my sister, and nobody is going to stop me."

I felt a hand grab my shoulder as I started to storm to the exit. I knew it was Ferb.

"Get your hand off me, Ferb. I'm going to save Marissa, and you're not talking me out of it," I said in a dark tone.

Ferb immediately removed his hand from my shoulder, and I headed out without another word. I don't care what it takes, I'm saving my sister this time.
