Summer and Bella found themselves face to face with a truly horrific sight. It looked like a goozim, but knowing how today had turned out, it was probably much worse. "You know, milady, I'm having a hard time putting a positive spin on this. I guess we should have expected this, huh? One minute, we're having the time of our lives, the next we're being fed to a goozim whose origins I don't even want to begin to contemplate," Summer said somewhat confidently. Confidence was not high on the list of emotions Bella was feeling. "And it started out so well this morning…"
Earlier that morning…
Bella woke up that morning, smiling as she found herself in Summer's sleepy embrace. Summer woke up as soon as she had risen, and beamed. "Hey, Isabella! With you and Perry, today could be the best day ever!"
We consider every day a plus
To spend it with our platypus!
We're always so ecstatic
Because he's semi-aquatic!
Our Ornithorhynchus anatinus
Brings smiles to the both of us!
Life's never fuddie duddy
With our web-footed buddy
When we're brushing our teeth, it's better!
Tying our shoes, it's better!
Combing our hair, it's better!
Like we're a cheese sandwich and he's the cheddar!
Blinking our eyes, it's better!
Breathing in and out, so much better!
Sitting in a chair, it's better!
And taking a bath, just a little bit wetter!
Every day is such a dream
When you start it with a monotreme!
He's duckbilled and beaver tailed and hairy!
Everything's better with Perry!
We just want to tell you Perry:
Everything's better with you!
"Morning, Summer. Morning, Bella!" Phineas called over to his son, future daughter-in-law, and pet platypus. They got up off the floor, and nodded to Phineas. He knelt down beside Perry. "Hm… if I do… this…" he muttered, scratching behind Perry's ear. *BOING*! Perry's tail went flying up. "Dad, I never knew that. Isabella, I know what we're going to try out today!" Phineas said, putting his arm around her. She smiled, and picked up Perry.
She sat down Perry in the backyard, and put a baseball on his tail. She scratched Perry's ear, and the baseball was flung across the yard. "Hi, Isabella!" the Fireside Girls called out, and she looked up from Perry. "Oh, hi! Me and Summer were just experimenting with Perry's involuntary reflex. You got any ideas?" she said. Lucy took a second to think, and remembered that Dr Doofenshmirtz had some spare Duplicatinators. "One sec," she said, and rushed off. She came back after about ten seconds, surprisingly, as she had found the Duplicatinator lying on the street. She used it on Perry, and he became two Perrys. "Hey, yeah! Now if we put a net between them, we could play a true platypult badminton game!" Mist said, looking at the original Perry.
Doofenshmirtz's final jingle!
Doofenshmirtz rolled his eyes. "Of course, you reference that… Anyway, Ferb Fletcher, I have you right where I want you!" he babbled, too insane to speak fluent English anymore. Ferb rolled his eyes on that one, but Doofenshmirtz had him flung out the window. "That is going to cost me… Curse you, Ferb Fletcher! Or curse you later, whenever's good for you," he shouted out the window.
He walked over to his inators, all trashed from Ferb's attack. He cursed, kicked one of the pieces. As if on cue, that one piece hit something else, which somehow snowballed into the creation of an inator. "Huh? Eh, cartoon laws. What are you gonna do? And do I look like complaining? So… what does this button do?" he babbled, and hit the fire button. It fired, and exploded. He kicked again, and created something different. "Whoo! Victory is assured. I don't know what's happening, but it's going to be brilliant!" he celebrated.
One of the Perrys got up and walked off. "Perry!" Summer exclaimed, and everyone began rushing after him. Bella stopped to pick up the other Perry.
Perry, you know you are a girl's best friend!
You're more than a passing trend!
You're like a treat from a candy store
Oh, Perry! We love you more than ice cream cakes!
We love you more than bugs and snakes!
We love you more than all things mentioned before
Oh, Perry, you're extraordinary!
You're kinda short and hairy!
The colour of a blueberry!
Yes, Perry!
So come back, Perry!
Come back, Perry, come back!
"Hey, Amanda, why don't you sing one?" Summer called out to his cousin. Amanda raised an eyebrow, but she was already roped in to the moment.
Oh Perry…
I think it's kinda scary…
I can't find you anywhere-y…
It fills me with despair-y?
Oh Perry…
I'm allergic to dairy…
I'm going to move to the prairie…
And change my name to Larry!
"Larry?" Summer asked. Amanda glared at him, and said through gritted teeth, "You didn't give me enough time to make up rhymes, alright?"
She'll change her name to Larry, Larry, Larry…
So come back, Perry, come back Perry, come home…
Come home, Perry, come home…
They caught up to Perry at the pet cemetery. "Perry, why would you come here, of all places?" Summer asked. Perry looked around, right next to Agent P's grave. Mist realised what was about to happen a second before it did. "Oh, Miss, Feyerseid!" she muttered. One of Doofenshmirtz's rays hit Perry and the grave.
The Perry that wandered off stood on two legs, and put on a fedora. "Ctrtrtrtrtr!" he said, in clear triumph. Bella's Perry wriggled out of her grip, and waddled up to the other. Agent P knelt down next to him. "Ctrtrtrtr," he chattered, and Perry nodded. He waddled back into Bella's arms, and curled up. Bella giggled, and scooped him up. "Ctrtrtrtrtrtr…" Agent P told Summer, who shrugged. He gave something resembling a sigh, and left them.
Doofenshmirtz finished his project. He took a step back. Vanessa peeked around the corner, and saw it in all of its glory. "Dr Doofenshmirtz, hold it right there!" she bellowed. Doofenshmirtz nodded, and said, "No! And why?"
In the bay off the coast of the Tri-State Area
Floats a country for me, and me!
It's new, it's bright
And it's founded on spite!
And it's everything I dreamed it would be…
Hail, hail, Doofania!
There's a bright, shining place
With a flag that bears my face!
And it's floating on an inner tube!
Far away from city life
My stupid brother, and ex-wife!
And it's got an evil attitude…
Hail, hail, Doofania!
Vanessa looked vaguely at Doofenshmirtz. She walked off to go look for something. "Norm, prepare the next fire!" Doofenshmirtz babbled, and Norm managed to translate it. He walked off, and shot the beam.
Agent P jumped onto Phineas' bench, and cleared his throat. The room flashed green, and Agent P… spoke… "Hello, Phineas!" he called in a deep voice that had all the Fireside Girls but Bella swooning. Phineas and Isabella rushed down the staircase, and saw only the Fireside Girls, Summer, and Agent P. "OK, what is going on?" Phineas asked, while Isabella held onto his arm. "Phineas, I need your help. Dr Doofenshmirtz had killed me in a past life, I do not deny this. And thus, I need Doofenshmirtz brought to justice, before he ruins any of your lives!" Agent P stated. Isabella fainted, and Phineas was dumbstruck. "A-agent P? You're too late. Ferb has been horribly corrupted, Isabella has been cursed, and restored, Mist has been kidnapped, and Bella has taken Isabella's curse. I think he has changed our lives, though whether he has ruined them remains to be seen," Phineas stated. Agent P gasped, and said, "He's going down!" He took Summer and Bella's arms, and rushed to go fight Doofenshmirtz.
"We interrupt your humdrum lives to bring you this evil message:" was announced. Everyone moved to the TV set, as Dr Doofenshmirtz showed up on screen. "Attention, O.W.C.A., and Fireside Girls. I have Summer, Isabella and Perry the Platypus! If you ever want to see them again, I suggest you die. Because they're going to be gone! Anyway…
It's been a hard life
Got nothing I ever wanted
And everyone flaunted their stuff for me…
It's been a bad ride,
Everyone is fighting
And destroying the schemes of me!
It's like a poisoned lunch with all you can eat
But at least I leave my wallet at home!
No one helps me
Because it's compulsory…
Or into the slammer their thrown.
Still, I'm a bad guy
How many geniuses would take murder blame?
I must admit
I'm not making any sense
But I'll chuck you your blame…
It's been a hard ride
Nothing like cherries
And everyone's merrier than me…
Because everyone's a hypocrite
And I'm the sole survivor of justice
I'm your future leader!
Phineas shut off the TV again, distraught in Doofenshmirtz's lies and his kidnap. "We have to save them! But how?" he asked. Isabella knew what to do. "Calm down, Phineas. Have you forgotten who we are? We're Fireside Girls Troop 46231 and we never give up!
We're Fireside Girls, one and all
And together we belong!
We wear our patches upon our sashes
And stand cute, small and strong!
This is the Fireside Girls song…
And it's not too terribly long!
"So let's go save Summer!" Isabella exclaimed. Everyone cheered. "Oh, and Bella too!" Everyone cheered again. "And Perry!" India volunteered, and Mist stared at her. "He's already dead. I don't know what benefit saving him would actually serve," she said. She really should have lost her Troop Leader status… India thought.
Summer, Bella and Perry were cruelly thrown onto a platform suspended over the deep ocean, where escape would be impossible. Facing them was a goozim… a truly horrific sight. "You know, milady, I'm having a hard time putting a positive spin on this. Blah, blah, blah, origins I don't even want to begin to contemplate, et cetera, et cetera," Summer said somewhat confidently. "Woah, déjà vu-ish… and why did you just call me milady?" Bella responded. Summer shrugged, and Perry shushed them. He sneaked around, looking for an escape path. Faced with none, he groaned. "Agent P, aren't platypi semi-aquatic?" Summer asked. Agent P facepalmed, and tossed Summer and Bella some doo-hickey to breathe underwater. "Why do you even have these?" Bella asked, but Agent P did not respond. He grabbed Summer and Bella, and jumped into the ocean. The goozim, having gotten free of its cage, jumped after them… before realising that it might not be able to swim. As it was, it hit the ocean with considerable force, smashing the waves and flinging the three escapees into a secret passage.
I used to get stuck on the simplest of things
I never tried flying or spreading my wings
What I want to convey
Is that I'm getting away
Because tonight I'm breaking out!
I go from park to neutral, know I'm shifting to drive
Because you gotta depart if you want to arrive
No more biding my time
With these eternal rhymes
Because tonight I'm breaking out!
I'm breaking out! From the things that were holding me back!
I'm breaking out! In every wall, if you look there's a crack!
I'm breaking out! In the end, that's what life's all about!
When the wall's closing in
You know it's time to begin
Breaking out!
Perry sighed. "How complex is this place, anyway?" he asked. However, now was not the time to ask, as a huge crowd of some of Doofenshmirtz's robots circled them. "When did Doofenshmirtz build robots?" Bella asked, and one responded with Hold your tongue, girl! Hold still and be destroyed! Summer looked aghast at the idea. "Does this mean you truly love me, or something else?" Bella asked. Summer responded with, "No, this is something else, although I do love you. Dr Doofenshmirtz wants you destroyed. However, he should know by now… wait, I can't say too much in front of Doofenshmirtz's robots!" Agent P looked at the pair of them in confusion. "What does Bella have that would make Doofenshmirtz reconsider destroying her, apart from childhood?" he asked. Summer looked at Bella, and whispered the secret in Perry's… let's say ear. "She has the key to taking over the Tri-State Area?" Agent P boomed. This announcement made the Doofbots hesitate. Summer looked at Bella, and said, "Three, two, one… CURSE YOU, PERRY THE PLATYPUS!"
Mist took the first glance at the Doofbot army surrounding their quarry. "Hm… Doofenshmirtz is sure as hell keeping up a good army. Well, he's not taking over the world on my watch!" she muttered. "She has the key to taking over the Tri-State Area?" she heard Agent P shout. "Oh, I'll be having words with that pesky monotreme! Alright… and… FIREFOX GIRLS! ATTACK!" she ordered, and the Fireside Girls launched their offensive. Within mere seconds, the Doofbots were subdued. India finished up her job, and turned to Summer. "We're all behind you!" she cheered, and Bella nodded. "Good work, girls! With this, we could be able to get to Doofenshmirtz!" she roared, to general delight. Perry alone looked aghast, but he was powerless to stop the Fireside Girls.
"Ah, so I have the Fireside Girls right here? Good… oh Isabella!" Doofenshmirtz babbled. A familiar figure walked out from literally nowhere. "YOU!" Phineas roared, drawing his wrench. "Me. And unless you want to see girly there hurt, I suggest you put the wrench down," the fake Isabella replied. Phineas dropped it, and the fake jumped at him…
…to be stopped by the real Isabella. "Listen, little girl. Phineas is mine. There is nothing you can do to change that," the real one calmly stated. The fake just stood there, panting. She eventually tossed her head, and a small arena was dedicated solely to them. "Stay back, Doofbots! This naïve flirt it going to suffer at no hand but mine!" the fake roared, and attacked. It was here that it crossed Isabella's mind… This is a teenager… an agile one…
As for the rest of the Fireside Girls, the Doofbots had them surrounded… but none watched their behind. The older Fireside Girls, both Adyson's and Dawn's troops, had appeared, as had the Johnsons, Hiranos, Tjinders, Van Stomms, and Du Bois. "Oh, wow!" Lara cheered, and the others took their cues. "Hey there, girls! Heard you were in a bit of a scrap, so…" Adyson started, and they finished by diving into the attack.
It's going to be a mechanized melee!
A bit of a big bot brawl!
When we get through, you're going to know it's true
The more metallic they are, the harder they fall!
Don't mess with me cause I'm a whole lot of trouble
When I'm backed up against the wall!
We're going to kick some robot chassis!
So you better tell your robot nation
To say a robot prayer, cause you better prepare
For an automaton annihilation!
You think you're going to take us down…
Well mechanical man, you just try it!
We're going to ride that rail out of town!
This is a robot riot! (robot riot!)
I think you know what I mean! (robot riot!)
This is a robot riot!
I'm gonna break you down
And sell you for scrap metal!
But I'll keep enough to build myself a trampoline!
Because your momma was a blender
And your dad was just a washing machine!
This is a robot riot!
I'm gonna rip you up!
I'm gonna tear you down!
I'm gonna take you to the
Chop shop downtown!
I know that you'll be dreading
This automaton Armageddon!
I think you better check your fluids
Cause I know you're sweating!
You know you're going to lose!
And sing the robot blues!
You'll blow a fuse
And take a robot snooze!
I will deactivate ya!
Because I kinda hate ya!
Don't wanna beat around the bushes
Gonna decimate ya!
This is a robot riot! (robot riot!)
Oh man, it's on! (robot riot!)
This is a robot riot!
I'm gonna rip you up
And put you back together
In a new configuration
Just to mow my lawn!
Cause your sister is a fridge
And you know her light is always on!
This is a robot riot!
Robot riot! Robot Riot! (look out!)
Robot riot! Robot Riot!
This is a robot riot!
You better listen up!
I've got some breaking news!
I'm gonna melt you down
And pour you on some baby's shoes!
I'm really on a mission!
I call it demolition!
And when I'm through
You're going to need more than a new transmission!
This is a robot riot!
No matter how you strive
You're gonna take a dive!
I'm going to mess you up
And devastate your hard drive!
I'm going to shut you down!
I'm teaching you a lesson!
Rip out your CPU
And show it to you still processing!
This is a robot riot!
I'm going to rip you up!
I'm going to tear you down!
I'm going to take you to the
Chop shop downtown!
I know that you'll be dreading
This automaton Armageddon!
I think you better check your fluids
Cause I know you're sweating!
You know you're going to lose!
And sing the robot blues!
You'll blow a fuse
And take a robot snooze!
I will deactivate ya!
Because I kinda hate ya!
Don't wanna beat around the bushes
Gonna decimate ya!
This is a robot riot!
I'm going to rip you up!
I'm going to tear you down!
I'm going to take you to the
Chop shop downtown!
This is a robot riot!
I'm going to rip you up!
I'm going to tear you down!
I'm going to take you to the
Chop shop downtown!
This is a robot riot!
I'm going to rip you up!
I'm going to tear you down!
I'm going to take you to the
Chop shop downtown!

I'm going to rip you up!
I'm going to tear you down!
I'm going to take you to the
Chop shop downtown!
This is a robot riot!
As this was going on, the two Isabellas stared each other down in their own field. The fake taunted, "You can't defeat me! I'm far superior to you! Ad once I've mowed you down, I'm taking over Phineas' heart!" Isabella gasped, but the memory sparked something. Phineas knew nothing about the dark side of love, and how exactly the fake planned on stealing his heart. Because of this, there was a chance that… "Three, two, one…" she counted, and the fake doubled up. "How?" she asked, and Isabella giggled. "Say hi to Summer and Mist. Dr Doofenshmirtz stole my hair while I was pregnant!" she laughed, and the fake growled. "I'll get you OW sometime Isabella OW! Just you OW wait OW WHEN I FIND OUT WHO'S DOING THAT!" she cursed. Isabella smirked as the arena was removed, showing the carnage of the Doofbots. Mist and Bella ran up to her and gave her a hug. Summer cheered his infant self on. However, Agent P alone seemed surly. "You actually got pregnant with Phineas' kids?" he bellowed. Isabella opened her mouth to frame a retort, but the floor on which she, Mist and Bella had been standing rose up to the next level in the building.
"So, my child. You beat your rival with wit… how… amusing. But neither you, or any girl that accompanies you, can stop me now!" Dr Doofenshmirtz taunted madly. Bella stood up and said, "Leave the Tri-State Area alone, and go commit yourself or something!" Ferb rolled around to hear that, and shook his head. "Isabella, I applaud your courage, but Doofenshmirtz is too insane for that beam to work…" he said. He thought for a second, and Vanessa let out a whistle. "Hey, Vanessa! I was going to do that!" Ferb complained, but it didn't matter… Meap had landed. "Meap!" he stated. Dr Doofenshmirtz stepped out of Meap's range to turn around, and Meap fired at the three girls. Ferb and Vanessa saw what was about to happen, and averted their eyes, as did Meap. Doofenshmirtz, being completely and utterly insane, turned to face the girls.
We're just the curious girls from cross the way…
Every day, as we come over
We announce ourselves this way…
Whatcha doin'? Whatcha doin'?
What's the day's activity?
Whatcha doin'? Whatcha doin'?
By any chance could it include us?
Whatcha doin'? Whatcha doin'?
We don't mean to disturb…
Whatcha doin'? Whatcha doin'?
You know, it's not really directed at Mist
When we say-ay-ay-ay-ay… whatcha doin'?
Bella took a solo, and Isabella and Mist stood slightly to the sides. Summer, who had climbed the stairs rapidly to help Bella, was now staring straight at her.
Don't ya know, Summer, you have no idea…
That every day I'm just dying to see ya…
And say…
Whatcha doin'? Whatcha doin'?
I really wanna know…
Whatcha doin'? Whatcha doin'?
Can I be part of the show?
When I say-ay-ay-ay-ay…
Whatcha doin'?
Dr Doofenshmirtz had stared far too long at Isabella, Mist and Bella in their altered states. He fell to the ground, and fell still. Meap turned to look at the girls, who's burst of cutonium had run out. He whipped out his moustache, and yelled, "RUN!" Everyone hastened to leave Doofania, as the place fell into ruins. Doofenshmirtz, as a last throw of the dice, had set everything he had built to crumble with him. They all managed to escape, and watched as Doofania swept into dust… wait, what was happening to Agent P? Phineas knelt beside him as he crumbled as well. "Agent P!" he cried, as he fell once more. "Don't worry about me, Phineas. I had one last adventure, after about thirteen years. You just lead a full life with… Isabella…" Agent P croaked, before vanishing into the dust. Phineas turned, tears in his eyes. Summer picked up Bella, who had collapsed from losing the Heed-My-Words beam, and nodded. Everyone bowed their heads, and left the coast.
Summer lay Bella down in her own bed, and Katie knocked and entered. "Hey, Summer," she said, and Summer nodded in reply. Bella's eyes fluttered open, and she looked at Summer. "Did you mean… what you sung to Doofenshmirtz…" he muttered, and Bella nodded. There was an awkward pause, and Summer and Bella then proceeded to engage in a passionate kiss. Katie looked at the two of them, and smiled. "Welcome to the family, Summer," she muttered, quiet enough for the kids to miss it.
Now me and my girl, we're taking care of things!
We went from a pair of jokers to a king and a queen!
It just goes to show you never know what a shuffle brings!
Me and my girl, we're taking care of things!
That's right, we're in love!
Different father and mother
But don't you diss or slam or slide us
Cause we look after one another!
Because we're thicker than thieves!
We're cooler than kings!
Oh man, you better believe
We're taking care of things!
I'll tell you up front
That I've got your back
And I know that you have mine!
As long as we stick together side by side
Yo, Bella, it's going to turn out fine!
Yo, Summer, it's going to turn out fine!
Now me and my girl, we're taking care of things!
We went from a pair of jokers to a king and a queen!
It just goes to show you never know what a shuffle brings!
Me and my girl, we're taking care of things!
Well, it took us a while, but we've reached the end of our story.
...Psyche! Did you honestly expect the fun to stop so soon?
As of either today, tomorrow, or the day after, expect a continuation... no, sadly it is not another set of seven chapters. You'll have to wait, because I'm not going to tell you.
...I put it in last chapter's notes, didn't I? If I didn't, I'm paranoid, if I did, I'm an idiot. Well... summer belongs to you? I'm out of here before I embarrass myself further.
