Author's Note: Back again! I can't believe I uploaded 3 chapters in just one day! I'm going to hit 5,000 with this chapter, most likely. Once again, just PM me if you want me to feature your story. (If you send me someone else's story, then it'll take longer because I'll have to obtain their permission.)

I already have 6 fanfictions to feature! Thank you all so much for your suggestions. Each chapter will feature 3 fanfics. This one features:

-The next few chapters from Story Behind the Portal, by Stinkfly3 and co-authored with Myron Greenleaf.

-The first two chapters from Race Against Time, by Akozu Heiwa.

-A one-shot from After the Fact, by Linzerj.

Anybody who requested a fanfic to be read that didn't get it in this chapter, it'll be coming in the next couple of chapters.

A quick recap: Phineas and Ferb went through their first day of school. (Phineas had read 2 chapters from SBtP, while Ferb read the third one.)

Perry slept in after Doofenshmirtz filled him up with cakes. Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz has done...nothing for a day?

Candace and Stacy were placed in different classes.

Now let's go on with the fanfic reading and plots!

~on that Monday...~

Doof was on the fancy couch snoring loudly when Perry crashed through the ceiling. The place looked exactly like it had yesterday when Perry staggered out. The teapot was even still out, and Perry took a cupcake off the table and chewed it thoughtfully. Norm shuffled in, carrying a large tray of chocolate cupcakes.

"It's cupcake time, sir!" he said loudly. Doof shot up from the couch, looking startled.

"Oh, it's just you, Norm...and Perry the Platypus!" he said. "I suppose you're ready for my next evil worst nemesis step?" Perry didn't say anything. "Okay! Follow me into the evilest of evil traps!"

Or maybe not. The afternoon was spent watching soap operas.

...

Phineas woke up at 5:59...not that he knew that, because his alarm clock didn't show the usual red numbers. It was completely black. He yawned and tugged at the lamp.

It didn't turn on. Phineas frowned and tried again, still to no avail.

"Power's out," Ferb explained. He had a small flashlight and was getting dressed. Phineas could hardly hear him over the horrid storm outside. In a sudden flash of light Phineas could see that Ferb was still tugging on his signature purple pants. Phineas got out of bed himself and reached for one of his already-striped shirts.

"Let's get ready for school, then," Phineas said. Ferb shook his head. "No? School's cancelled? Already? Well, that one's a surprise. I wonder what we can do, then." Ferb shrugged slightly.

The boys got dressed and went downstairs to get breakfast. Ferb got a granola bar, while Phineas fixed cereal (the refrigerator had been remodeled to run on batteries, of course). The two had barely finished when the doorbell rang.

"Hi, Isabella!" Phineas said upon opening the door. One of the Phinabella fanfictions ran through his head, but he quickly put that thought out of his mind with a slight shudder. "Can I help you?"

Isabella's hair was messy, strewn about by the strong wind. "Whatcha doin'?" she asked.

"Nothing, really. We just finished breakfast."

"You remember Elodie? Well, she's got a backup generator thingy, and invited us over to her house," Isabella explained, gesturing to the girl standing on the sidewalk. "Baljeet and Buford are already there. I just ran over to get you. Wanna come?"

"Sure," Phineas said. "Our power isn't working right now, either. Let us just get our umbrellas." Isabella nodded and walked in to wait while the stepbrothers gathered their things.

"Okay, let's go!"

~at Elodie's house~

"Elodie! Yah tho ngi?" a woman's voice called when the four walked into the house. "Iy yang kapso buski ong akiiah, tha eks abusungot bun tho eks rabusi!"

"Daebas marie, Mada!" Elodie called back. "Kes yah eko? Tha bisa, yang tho ngi, tha my friends are here! Isa and Phineas and Ferb!"

"More friends, you say?" A woman appeared in the hallway. She had a pleasant face and eyes very similar to Elodie's, as well as the same hair. "Elodie, saa, you make so many friends in one day!"

"I met them through Isa," Elodie explained. "And they don't speak Siyan, so don't try to talk to them in it," she added. "They're going to be here for the day, too."

"Yes, yes, just like the charming Baljeet," Mrs Hayes said. "I understand." She winked. "Well...Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, breakfast is almost ready, and everyone is up in Elodie's room." The four thanked her and started to climb the stairs to Elodie's room.

"They speak Siyan," Isabella said to Phineas and Ferb. "I've never heard of the language, but..."

Phineas turned to Ferb. Ferb gave a small nod. "Ferb has, apparently. Okay, Elodie, where's your room?"

"This one right here," Elodie said, gesturing to the second door on the right. "You guys can use my computer. I'm doing Chemistry with Baljeet." With that she opened the door, joined Baljeet on the bed, and working.

"Computer? Cool!" Phineas said, getting an idea. "How about we read fanfiction?"

"Sure," Elodie said. "Open up the browser and you'll see my bookmarks. Read some of the fanfictions in there."

Phineas did what she said and opened up a large list of fanfictions. "Wow, you sure read a lot of these...Race Against Time? That sounds interesting."

"It's a really good story. Go ahead, read it," Elodie said. "No, Baljeet, the approximate H-C-H bond angle would be closer to 109 degrees, not 120, see?"

"Right," Phineas said, opening Race Against Time. It was by an author named Akozu Heiwa, who he had seen a few times when browsing the fanfiction archives but hadn't read yet. "Isabella, are you going to read this with us? Buford?"

"No thanks," Buford said, "I'm bullying these nerds here." By 'bullying these nerds,' he apparently meant that he was punching something in on the calculator to check Baljeet's answer. Elodie smiled a bit.

"All right, suit yourself," Phineas said. "Does it bother you guys if we read it?"

"Nah," Elodie said, "this is just review."

"All right!" Phineas said and began reading.

It had been two years since the events of the second dimension. Phineas Flynn, now a twelve year old, was sitting in his backyard next to his brother, Ferb Fletcher.

"Second dimension? That's the fourth time we've seen that mentioned," Phineas said. "Did we miss a movie about us or something? Anyway...ooh! A party for Perry! We should definitely do that when it's nicer outside."

"Okay. Do you need any help?" Isabella wondered, hoping to spend more time with Phineas. As well as not giving his friends' memories back, Phineas had decided not to admit his feelings for Isabella. Actually, he was too nervous.

"What is this talking about?" Phineas wondered. "Of course I have feelings for Isabella. She's my best friend." There was a coughing sound from the bed - from Elodie, Buford, or Baljeet, he'd never know - but Phineas was oblivious as always. Ferb shook his head at his brother, meaning not those kind of feelings.

"Oh. Okay. Let's read on, then," Phineas said. Isabella was blushing like mad, of course. "Isabella, do you guys really have a Bake-a-Cake-for-a-Platypus badge?"

"Yes. Yes, we do," Isabella answered. "I've been meaning to get that one for a while..." Phineas just shrugged.

"We can help you with it sometime...whoa, what's this? Perry...as in, OUR Perry? Fighting somebody named Doofenshmirtz?" Phineas laughed. "Somebody has a good imagination, I'll give them that."

"This man wasn't allowed chocolate cookies as a child!" Isabella said, pointing to the screen. "And Roger? As in, Roger Doofenshmirtz, our mayor?"

"I guess so," Phineas said. "It is the seventeenth most common surname in the Tri-State Area, however. How do you even hate almond brittle?" It was one of the most commonly eaten treats in the Flynn-Fletcher household around Christmas, next to peppermint bark and fudge. Ferb shrugged.

"Have you ever even lied to me successfully?" Isabella wondered. Phineas began to shake his head no when he was startled by Elodie popping up in between them.

"Anybody want breakfast?" she asked. "Mada says it's done."

Everyone wanted breakfast, of course. Mrs Hayes served vegetable curry, some kind of sweet bread, sausages, toast, and hot chocolate. The selection was kind of an odd mixture, but definitely tasted good.

"Thanks, Mrs Hayes!" Phineas said after he was done eating. Buford also grunted his thanks, while Baljeet thanked her politely for the vegetable curry.

The group of six headed back upstairs to read some more. Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella read more of the Race Against Time. Phineas commented on how accurate the story was - they did feed Perry chocolate cookies, and he really did enjoy them. But he still wasn't a secret agent, not quite; at least as far as Phineas knew.

"It's really an interesting premise!" the red-haired genius said. "An entire animal organization...why, you'd think that the place we adopted him from..well, I guess you'd assume that all of the animals there were secret agents."

"I adopted Pinky from there, too - then he'd have to be a secret agent." Isabella laughed. "I think he shakes too much. He wouldn't be able to defeat anybody everyday...Maple? A girl named Maple? That's an odd name."

"She sounds like a Fireside girl," Phineas said. "And she can speak Platypus...that must get a little boring. They don't do much, you know."

"She talks a lot," Isabella noted.

"I don't talk that much," Ferb said. Phineas shrugged.

"I know, bro, but didn't you read the note? Sometimes they have to make you talk!" Phineas said. Elodie voiced her agreement.

"Organic Chemistry is getting boring," she declared. "I'm going to read this with you! But we should read a fanfiction about Baljeet."

"No," Baljeet said, quite plainly.

Phineas laughed and continued to read.

"Hey! That was rude!" Isabella protested when she read about Maple rolling her eyes at her. "I was just making conversation."

"Calm down, Isa," Elodie said. "It's a story."

"Evil plan..." Phineas mumbled. "Interesting story. I think we'll leave it here for now. Who says we continue reading Story Behind the Portal?"

Isabella hadn't read it yet, so they let her scan the first two chapters, then they continued onto Chapter 3. Ferb had already read it, but he didn't say so.

"Here we are!" Phineas said. Chapter 3 was now pulled up on the screen, and it was titled "Love Triangle, Anyone?"

Since Baljeet and Elodie had now both ceased to do their homework, he decided to read aloud.

"Ferb gently put his pointer finger over Isabella's lips, shushing her. "Don't worry," he said. "You look beautiful." That's nice of you, Ferb," Phineas said. Ferb nodded and gestured for him to continue, but Isabella continued the story.

"Isabella shook her head no. "No, I'm not," she quietly responded. "I-I can't go out in public looking like this..." Why not? The outfit sounded fine," Isabella said. "I don't think I'm too ugly to go out in public."

"Have you ever worn a ponytail?" Phineas asked.

"Well, no..." Isabella saw his point. "Oh, fine. Next line. "And why not?" Ferb asked. He placed his right hand on her left cheek. "This is the real you. Smart, courageous... Who wouldn't want to see you like that?" Yay, I'm smart and courageous!"

"Isabella chuckled slightly and gazed deeply into Ferb's dark blue eyes. "You know, I've never ever met someone like you before, Ferb Fletcher."" Isabella frowned unhappily. This was started to stray far from her belief that she and Phineas could be together. She'd never, ever thought about Ferb in that way. ""The feeling is mutual," Ferb replied. Then before Isabella could say another word, he leaned in and kissed her right on the lips. Isabella was shocked, but couldn't stop herself from kissing back. Sorry, Ferb, but I wouldn't kiss you back."

Ferb raised a shoulder, indicating that it was fine. The others raised their eyebrows at each other, and Elodie was grinning widely with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Okay, next...next chapter," Phineas said. He was confused as to why he was portrayed at not being happy with the events in the story. He would be happy...wouldn't he?

"It has been around sixteen hours since Ferb kissed Isabella in the middle of the abandoned Macy's department store and Phineas had made a fool of himself. The 11-year-old boy was lying on his bed, trying to think of about the emotion that had engulfed him when he saw Ferb kiss Isabella. Embarrassment? No, that wasn't it. Love? It's half of what he was feeling... Jealously. That was it. Phineas had felt jealous the moment he saw the kiss. He knew immediately that he wanted to be Isabella's boyfriend, NOT Ferb. I don't think I would quite react like that," Phineas said. Isabella waited to hear how he would react, but apparently he wasn't explaining that.

"And, haha, Mom isn't coming out of the basement," Phineas noted. "I wonder if she's in the Panic Room? She must be. Look, there's that name again - Doofenshmirtz! Do you think she means Roger or the Doctor guy?"

"Probably the Doctor one," Isabella said. "That other story said that he was evil, after all."

"Harry Potter RPG!" Phineas laughed. "That's funny. What's Twilight, though? Do they mean Early Evening, that movie that Candace loves? They must. And Ferb definitely talks too much...but I do understand it. To be a good element in the story you have to talk more. You can't just be quiet all the time."

Ferb raised an eyebrow to say that obviously, he could. "Vanessa?"

"Not that Vanessa," Elodie said. "That's Vanessa D, not Vanessa W." Phineas stared at her for a minute, and Elodie just shrugged. Phineas turned back to the screen.

"That sounds a lot like Isabella," Phineas commented. "I guess that's Vanessa? I don't know why she's so similar, though...maybe they grew up together!"

"I don't have a cousin," Isabella said, "unless you count Gage, and Gage definitely is not a girl."

Phineas shrugged. "Next chapter?"

"Okay," everyone chorused together.

...

"Candace? The leader of a resistance?" Phineas mused. "It's an odd concept, but she DOES have good leadership abilities when she wants to. Sounds interesting." Phineas closed the Chapter 5 tab and went back to Bookmarks. "Let's see...How It Should've Gone...Lost in Time...Family He Never Had...Ah! How about this one? It's called After the Fact. Seems to be another dimension-fic."

"Sure, that one's pretty good," Elodie said. "It's in this dimension, not the other dimension everyone keeps talking about, though."

The story began with Candace acting normal, telling Linda that there was probably something huge for them to bust, but there was a twist - she couldn't seem to remember it.

It started getting weird when Phineas and Ferb took off their invisible helmet-heads. Then the story explained how Isabella had kissed Phineas ("I'm sure I never did that!") and how Phineas remembered it, even though he wasn't supposed to.

"It would be awkward if you kissed me, though," Phineas said. "I'm not sure I could act surprised." Phineas never was the best liar in the world.

"It is a good story," Phineas said. "I like it." Isabella, Ferb, and Buford (of all people) agreed.

...

After a long day of soap operas, Perry had turned in for the night, but actually woke up on time to get to the agency. Major Monogram gave him another "threatening" mission:

"Agent P! Dr Doofenshmirtz is up to no good! He bought two armchairs, two pounds of butternut squash, chicken broth, two large bags of onions, coconut milk, and a candlestick. We don't know what it means but it's bound to be sinister. Go put a stop to it!"

Perry did his best to act professionally, but he couldn't help but think that this was going to be another "brilliant" way to be the worst nemesis ever by Dr D.

"Perry the Platypus! How unheralded! And by unheralded, I mean COMPLETELY HERALDED!" Perry walked past Doof and looked at the table. He crossed his arms and looked at Doofenshmirtz for an explanation.

"How to be The Worst Nemesis Ever says that I'm supposed to put on a nice dinner," Doofenshmirtz explained. "So I've prepared butternut squash soup with Thai gremolata!" He cackled evilly. "Sit, Perry the Platypus! Meet the dinner of your DOOOOOM!"

Perry did as he was told.

...

"You uploaded a new chapter of Of Love and Werewolves today?" Stacy asked Candace. "How, though? The power's out."

"I didn't upload a new chapter," Candace said. "Not since yesterday. Why?"

Stacy motioned for her to come over to her phone. Candace looked at the phone and together, they scrolled through the story. It was awful - and Candace never wrote it!

Kristen and Jared decided to go to Danville instead. There they met Phineas and Ferb and had lots of cool adventures together. Michael cried forever without a shirt...

The rest of the chapter was very similar. With a sense of dread, Candace scrolled through her reviews.

All of her regular reviewers posted how much they hated it. They were desperate to see what happened next, and they complained about how much Busting Brothers had tricked them. Candace tried to log into her account, but to no avail.

"Here, I'll sign in and send them a message!" Stacy said. She logged into her account and send Busting Brothers an angry message, demanding the account back...
