When the Platypus Cry Part 2
By Lolitafreak88
"And that's all you need to know about my little journey down the rabbit hole. It was definitely crazy and made me almost want to give up, but it was still enjoyable and a lot of good came out of it. If you have any questions please ask." Candace finished. She had told Jenny just about everything. The Fan-Fiction Fantasizer, how it worked, how she used it behind her brother's back, the different Realms, the Narrator, 'Fireside Princess', her role, what she had to do, Perry being the Mysterious Lover (Just about the only thing that made Jenny interrupt Candace in surprise before being shushed), Alchemist Heinz, the Secret Room, finding the camera, the betrayal (Jenny noticeably grew a bit gloomy at hearing this), the Neapolitan Dress, the Gate of Dismissal, the big battle, the victory, the wedding (Jenny's eyes were literally sparkling at this part), finishing the story, the Narrator becoming Jeremy briefly, the review, and finally Candace returning the universe back to normal and returning home. She only left out the musical numbers and the part about flirting with Perry as they were not considerably important. Jenny, who had been raising her hand like a polite pupil, set it down and began by asking,
"Before I ask you my questions, is it ok if I ask you any sort of question? No matter what it is?" Candace looked a bit puzzled at Jenny's hesitance. Maybe Jenny was still a bit unsure of how the Fan-Fiction Fantasizer worked or something and didn't want to ask something that had an obvious answer.
"No, go right ahead. I'm all ears." Candace replied, her goal to ease Jenny's nervousness. Jenny nodded and set her hands gracefully on her lap.
"Well then, what was the flora and fauna of that world like? Did you have intercourse with Perry? If so did you have any kids? Were they furries? What was the climate like?" She asked a string of questions. Th-Those weren't the kind of questions I was expecting at all! Candace thought, her face reddening like an apple.
"Ah...ah, well... um... we never got to do anything... after the wedding. I just threw the bouquet and... yeah, I was done... eheheh... oh and the enviroment... um... it was... nice... yeah it was nice..." Candace shyly stated, never having felt so embarrassed in her own room before. Jenny looked down in shame, realizing that she might've gone too far with her questions.
"I'm sorry Candace, I've been thinking about what I want to do when I grow up and I've recently thought about maybe becoming a scientist who studies animals or nature. If I am going to help protect the enviroment, it'd be fitting to understand it first. So I'm sorry if my questions were a bit too personal. I was hoping to discover something about platypuses that no one has discovered thus far." She admitted. At least she had a genuine reason, Candace thought and took a sigh of relief. The redness started to vanish from her face.
"Don't worry Jenny, curiosity didn't kill the cat, it discovered the cat. Besides I already knew I was in for some major questioning by even bringing up the fact Perry was my Mysterious Lover." Candace said happily. Jenny looked at the camera again.
"Why did the Narrator choose Perry as your Mysterious Lover if you already have Jeremy?" She asked. Candace looked a lot more open to that kind of question. She adopted a thinking pose and said,
"Well he said he wanted me to learn things about Perry that I didn't know of and change my assumption of him. Mostly it's the same purpose as this camera, to reveal something about Perry I never knew about, and also about reality."
"The reality thing is what intrigues me most. Is it suggesting that the world we live in is a dream? Or some other possibility like that?" Jenny asked, her voice sounding more intellectual and open-minded by the minute. She had officially entered, as Candace would put it, 'reasoning mode'.
"How would I know? The Narrator gave me the darn clue. It was like Lemony Snicket! Something vague, open to interpretation, and above all ANNOYING. Why do people speak so cryptically anyway?" Candace asked, a bit frustrated. She wasn't frustrated in the Narrator, or the clue. It was more of frustration directed to the fact she couldn't figure out the clue's meaning. Jenny seemed to consider Candace's frustration in her next answer,
"Most of the time it's so that a clue can't be used in the wrong hands. Only someone who can figure out the clue could use it. Like if you had a detailed map that showed a hiding place meant for you. If someone who wanted to find you, like in a game of hide-and-seek, found that map, it would be used against you. It's clear that this clue refers to you, he doesn't want anyone else to use it. He believes you could understand it by putting it in a riddle format. Plus the riddle format would require heavy thinking and potentially discourage other people from trying to figure it out. It's kind of a matter of determination and how well you know something." Candace looked at Jenny star-struck. Stacy was clever and smart in her own ways (Like finding out that Jeremy and Candace were literally attached to one another for a whole day before Candace even realized Stacy knew) but Jenny was also a genius in her own ways.
"Wow Jenny, that's a brilliant deduction. Now I know why Stacy suggested you." Candace stated. Jenny suddenly grew rigid. It might've been because she was currently in 'reasoning mode' and she heard something that caught her attention. Jenny looked at Candace with a suspicious look.
"What do you mean Stacy suggested me?" She asked. Candace put a hand over her mouth, wondering if that might've offended Jenny. Sometimes it's seen as a good thing to be suggested by someone, like suggesting a famous chef to someone who was looking for a good place to eat. But sometimes it could also be seen as a subtle insult or like the only reason you were suggested was for a reason that might not be all that positive. Like somebody wanted you to come over only to help you and no other reason.
"Well I asked her to come over first but she seemed really busy. Though she sounded pretty into what I was talking about until I mentioned Perry and that I got a cryptic clue. Then she used the paper crinkling trick on me." Candace admitted sheepishly. Why'd I ever tell her about that trick? Candace thought with a peeved look. It would be a bit sweeter if she just said she couldn't talk instead of using some technique to pretend you had a bad connection. Jenny also adopted a thinking pose, one arm crossed and the other lifting her hand to just below her mouth.
"That is interesting... but did you tell her anything else?"
"Nope, never got to tell her about my adventure, or even about the French kiss." Candace said in response to Jenny. At this Jenny softened her expression and posture.
"Very well then, I suppose Stacy must've been in a hurry then." She said calmly. Though in truth, she was actually saving this fact in the back of her head. Jenny was now doing her best to assist Candace in solving this mystery so any fact that sprung up should be stored for later, just in case.
"Maybe we should talk more about the clue then?" Candace proposed. Jenny closed her eyes and once again put her hands to her lap.
"I had an idea, what if the 'reality' the Narrator mentioned isn't talking about the world around us but rather 'US'? A camera is meant to hold memories right?" She proposed with a certain dignity to her voice. Candace's eyes widened. That was certainly a bold but possible angle to go for.
"True..."
"Plus it says in your Narrator's clue that 'this camera makes our reality true' when the current reality is supposedly 'false. Then perhaps this camera will reveal to us something that we have forgotten and thus, the life we live in is... hmm... oh. That doesn't work.." Jenny trailed off in some disappointment.
"What's the matter?" Candace asked, feeling a bit down at losing the chance of a breakthrough.
"Why would losing some memories affect the way we live, or the world around us? Especially if they relate to Perry or us? Unless it is something like an anniversary or a birth or even some disaster like a death, we could live our lives normally if we forgot something." Jenny concluded. Anniversary... Candace thought. That bugs me for some reason. But before Candace could point this out to Jenny, there was some knocking on the door. Candace gasped and quickly hid the camera under the bed again. She and Jenny had been in the bedroom for awhile so it was natural someone else who was living in the house would wonder what they were doing.
"Thinking about stuff really does make time go by without you realizing it doesn't it?" Jenny asked.
"You bet. Who is it?" Candace asked, masking her nervousness with a neutral tone.
"It's me Phineas! We got our invention ready and we thought you and Jenny would like to participate in it." Said a voice all too familiar to Candace. Jenny put her hands together as though she was clapping and her face lit up with excitement. Candace wanted to roll her eyes. Of course Phineas and Ferb had built something, they always did. And she would always try to bust them. But they would always disappear. And mom would always miss it. And Candace ALWAYS looked silly. The Fan-Fiction Fantasizer had gone well but that was mostly because Candace did it independently and there was no one to bust. Plus it looked very normal, like a bookcase with a lever on it. Though Candace took into consideration Jenny's excitement. Jenny and Stacy were a lot more excited for Phineas and Ferb's inventions than Candace herself. Plus Jenny rarely got a chance to experience them. Stacy was the one who had more opportunities so it made sense Jenny would want to go on it.
"What is it exactly?" Candace asked, wanting some specifics.
"It's a mystery! We've planted clues all over the house and riddles and we need you to solve them. If you solve the mystery, you will receive an amazing prize!" Phineas exclaimed with his usual optimism and upbeat character. Jenny was clearly sold, getting up from the bed and starting to pull on Candace's arm.
"C'mon Candace, this sounds like a lot of fun! I love mysteries!" She begged like a puppy. Combined with her love of nature and animals and it wasn't too surprising she was as convincing as an actual puppy. But Candace stayed defiant... though half-heartedly.
"But we have our OWN mystery to solve and unless they decorated the whole house I probably can't bust them for it." Candace grumbled. Jenny flinched at this. She was not a big fan of Candace's busting obsession
"Bust? Is that the only word that you know? When did it even start?" She asked, suddenly sounding as threatening as... a bear. Candace gulped.
"Uh... well you see-"
"NO BUSTS! I came here to help you solve the mystery you spoke of because it sounded fun, NOT to bust your brothers. You are going to enjoy this invention because a mystery your brothers made will provide a perfect mental warm-up for when we tackle our mystery again. You will also NOT say anything about busting or I swear to Gaia that I will leave and let you figure out your mystery on your own, GOT IT?" Jenny's tirade was completely contradicting to her previous calm, decisive elegance. Then again, Candace's busting obsession had been going on for far too long and was constantly interfering with her relationships. At least she didn't reveal what our mystery was to Phineas, Candace thought noting how Jenny never said 'camera'. She was loyal to the end. Candace, like a young troublemaking student who got caught by the teacher said,
"Yes, yes I do." Jenny released a deep sigh of air and then turned to the door. She suddenly started to blush, realizing that Phineas might've overheard her release of frustration.
"Sorry if I scared you Phineas, so where do we begin?" Jenny said with the innocence of a rabbit that would've worked better had she not just lost her cool. After a few quiet seconds of awkward silence, Phineas replied,
"Um... the first clue can be found by playing a video game. Good luck!" Then they heard him run away from the door and down the steps. Jenny clapped her hands giddily.
"This is so exciting! Your brothers are really the best! Why haven't you asked them to help you with the camera?" Jenny questioned. Candace bit her lip and said,
"I... It's my responsibility, I don't want to get them involved. I want them to continue to do what makes them happy." Jenny seemed impressed by her answer.
"That's very noble of you to take responsibility for a potentially life-changing mystery. Like a matriarch of the family." She commented with notable praise. Candace was surprised at how Jenny was so eloquent and that Jenny considered her noble. Candace had noble traits to her character indeed, even if her more eccentric traits were the ones that were more obvious. Jenny seemed to have an acute ability to read people and ideas and had unmasked that with the proficiency of a therapist. With renewed price, Candace declared,
"Of course, I would hate to get my brothers into something dangerous. Besides I am a mature, sophisticated adult and I have more responsibility on my shoulders. But I don't throw that responsibility aside, I relish in it. Anyways let's get this show on the road!" At this, Jenny nodded and the two girls exited the room.
Suddenly, in true musical fashion, a catchy beat started to play and suddenly the scenery changed, as though it was a music video. No longer was it the Flynn-Fletcher household but rather a dining room table. It was dark, with only the gentle orange glow of candles providing light. But then the sound of a spotlight being turned on suddenly rang out and illuminated Candace, who was wearing a hairstyle just like the one she wore to the summer cotillion and a scarlet dress, complete with matching heels. A spontaneous musical number was about to begin, and from the looks of it, had something to do with mystery.
Candace: We got a mystery, and glitter's raining on me... (Candace starts singing confidently but then is caught off-guard by actual glitter raining on her. She looks up and lifts her hand, feeling the glitter rain down on her and also the room. As she finishes her first lines, another spotlight turns on this time on Jenny who is sitting next to Candace. She is wearing a gorgeous emerald dress with a peacock feather headpiece and peacock-themed jewelry and matching pumps.)
Jenny: Put on your thinking cap, the culprit's on the map (Jenny sings with impressive strength, wearing an expression of surprise with herself. She points to her head as she sings the second part of her lyric and then gestures towards the table as the whole room finally illuminates revealing a long table with six different, distinct objects on it. Jenny and Candace proceed to get up)
Candace: There's clues everywhere you only need to look, be it a speck of dust or maybe even a book, don't you know? (Candace and Jenny started to walk in a composed, elegant, almost fashionable way around the table and the camera shows close-ups of the objects on the table revealing a lead pipe, a wrench, a gun, a rope, a candlestick, and a knife though there are price-tags on them revealing them to be likely fake. At the last note, Candace and Jenny both grab the back of the chairs in front of them.)
It's spiraled out of control (Candace and Jenny shake their heads to the rhythm of the music, their hair sent flying by their fast motion.)
Chorus: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh! (Candace pulls a key out of the pocket of her gown and looks to Jenny who nods, as though approving Candace to use it.)
Jenny: This could take the whole night, so everyone just stay tight, don't want to fall (Jenny and Candace head towards a door on the right and Candace inserts the key into the lock.)
Chorus: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh! (Candace and Jenny open the door to come face to face with the Giant Floating Baby Head.)
Jenny: Uh... this doesn't make sense at all. (Candace and Jenny stare at the Giant Floating Baby Head with bewildered expressions and Jenny is so stunned that she just says her lines and not even in tune with the music.)
Chorus: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh! (Candace and Jenny immediately shut the door)
Candace and Jenny: Alibis under the sunlight, who, what, when, where, why, and how. (The scene changes to what appears to be in front of the Flynn-Fletcher household with Candace and Jenny dressed in detective-wear identical to that of the outfits Candace and Stacy wore when they were channeling Sherlock Holmes and they begin dancing.)
Finding clues in the moonlight, warming up for my pet platypus. (Candace holds up a picture of Perry the Platypus and Jenny looks at it in admiration as they move in tune with the music.)
Every second could shed some light, so stay alert or your numbers up. (Candace and Jenny go into the backyard and see a detailed box and Jenny runs over to it and begins to open it when Candace holds out her arm to indicate Jenny should wait.)
Finding clues in the moonlight, warming up for my pet platypus. (A cat pops out of the box after Jenny opens it and it leaps into Jenny's arms and she hugs it gently as she sings though Candace looks surprised at first but smiles at Jenny being with what she loves most. As the music continues, the scenery changes once again into what appears to be a lavish rose garden in the middle of the night, in front of a mansion, in the midst of a typhoon. Candace appears holding an umbrella and dressed in an elegant white men's suit with a red dress-shirt under it and a black tie with a family crest on it. Nice shoes complete the look)
Candace: Flipping chessboards over, seek a red roverrrr! (Candace walks down the rose garden before a powerful gust of wind blows past her and blows the umbrella she's carrying out of her hand, leading her to scream a bit at the second line. She tries to look towards where the umbrella went before something catches her eye.)
Decipher a hidden clue, and the answer's true (Candace sees a diseased rose among the rose garden marked with what appears to be a candy wrapper and taking note of this, she pulls out a notepad and pencil and adds this detail onto the notepad.)
Jenny: There's clues everywhere you only need to look, be it a speck of dust or maybe even a book, don't you kno-OHHHHHHH! (Jenny is dressed in a western-style gown with a fancy collar with a family crest on it, and mid-heel black boots. She approaches a chapel that has 'Happy Anniversary for Perry' on it painted in a bold red liquid as she sings. As she starts on the last line of this part, she opens the door a crack and peers in. The sight she sees is apparently so frightening she screams in mid-lyric and closes the door quickly and leans against it in a panic.)
It's spiraled out of control (Jenny sings this lyric quietly before running over to join Candace in the rose garden.)
Chorus: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Candace: This could take the whole night, so everyone just stay tight, don't want to fall
Chorus: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. (Candace and Jenny watch in shock as a bunch of goats appear at one end of the garden and watch as the goats stare at them with a peculiar expression. Candace and Jenny gulp as the chorus sings their part.)
Candace and Jenny: This doesn't make any sense at alllll! (Candace and Jenny scream and start to run off in fear of the goats who are now stampeding towards them.)
Chorus: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!
Candace and Jenny: Alibis under the sunlight, who, what, when, where, why, and how. (The scenery changes yet again but this time to what appears to be some kind of academy. Candace, dressed in a Gothic Lolita outfit complete with twin-tails haircut and Gothic headpiece, and Jenny, dressed in a Japanese-style schoolgirl uniform with her hair in pigtails, walk in a composed motion down the hall.)
Finding clues in the moonlight, warming up for my pet platypus. (Candace and Jenny pass by a series of doors with name-plates that have cute, pixilated depictions of Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Perry, Stacy, and Jenny above their name.)
Every second could shed some light, so stay alert or your numbers up. (Candace and Jenny eventually come across a door. A sign over the door says 'Courtroom'.)
Finding clues in the moonlight, warming up for my pet platypus. (Candace and Jenny look at one another, Jenny donning a medical glove on her left hand and holding a plastic bag with the right, and nod at one another. They enter the room, revealing it to be a complex room with various podiums.)
Jenny: Oh baby baby, though the clues may vary, oh baby baby, we'll understand Perry. (Candace spots a box of doughnuts and runs to it immediately and starts to gobble down on a delicious looking doughnut with sprinkles and icing as Jenny conducts her investigation.)
Jenny: Oh baby baby, though the clues may vary, oh baby baby, we'll understand Perry. (Jenny finds a pair of unique, custom-made scissors by one of the podiums and picks them up with her medical glove-donned hand and puts them in the plastic bag as Candace starts investigating, still chomping down on a doughnut.)
Jenny: Oh baby baby, though the clues may vary, oh baby baby, we'll understand Perry. (Candace finds a laptop and picks it up and holds it with her other arm as she finishes off her doughnut and starts to skip merrily, feeling proud with herself as she and Jenny almost meet up. The chorus begins to sing "Yeah" in the background.)
Jenny: Oh baby, baby, though the clues may vary, ooh baby baby.
Chorus: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh! (Jenny and Candace find their last clue and Jenny picks it up to reveal that's it a Ducky Momo plush. Jenny gives a very confused look though Candace looks at with excitement and awe at its adorableness.)
Candace and Jenny: Alibis under the sunlight, who, what, when, where, why, and how. (The scenery changes one more time to an actual, or at least more believable courtroom where the judge is Candace's mom Linda. Candace and Jenny are back in their detective wear and on their table are the five weapons, the marked rose, and the scissors. Jenny is using the laptop. In the plaintiff stand is the Ducky Momo plush and in the defendant stand is the Giant Floating Baby Head.)
Finding clues in the moonlight, warming up for my pet platypus. (Candace gestures towards Jenny who reveals the screen on the laptop that shows that they believe the Giant Floating Baby Head was responsible for the disappearance of apparently Perry by using all the weapons and that Perry marked a rose to indicate he escaped.)
Every second could shed some light, so stay alert or your numbers up. (Linda looks over the diagram and nods in agreement. She then hits the stand with the gavel and the Giant Floating Baby Head is found guilty and Candace and Jenny jump up and down in excitement.)
Finding clues in the moonlight, warming up for my pet platypus. (As the song ends, Candace and Jenny share a momentous hi-five and after its conclusion, Candace and Jenny are back in the backyard of the Flynn-household, wearing their normal attire as though nothing happened. Although there is noticeably glitter all over the backyard. Candace looks down and sees the glitter and puts her hands on her hips.)
"Ok, where did all this glitter come from? I thought that was just part of the song." Candace questioned. Jenny, who had thoroughly enjoyed being part of the song looked down as well and saw the glittery mess. Jenny had no strong opinion on glitter, except that it was used in many song lyrics and parties, and thought it could possibly be used as a potential alternative to hair accessories as it did add a nice sparkle to your hair. Jenny also felt warmed-up, just like she wanted, and so she made a hypothesis.
"Maybe some arcane power summoned it here, or someone threw a bunch of glitter for no particular reason?"
"Or maybe it's the Mysterious Force mocking me." Candace remarked with a huff. Jenny turned to Candace in confusion and clear concern, which combined gave Jenny a skeptical expression.
"Mysterious Force?" She asked. Oh right only Stacy really knows about it, Candace thought after seeing and hearing Jenny's reaction.
"I'll tell you later. Not like glitter could be a clue anyway." Candace said. With that, she and Jenny went back inside the house, ready to really start solving Phineas and Ferb's mystery.
Little did Candace know that she was right and wrong. This glitter was definitely not a clue from Phineas and Ferb, but it most certainly WAS a clue in itself. A clue to what a certain scientist was doing, and what his newest Inator did. Dr. Heinz Doofensmirtz was not the most desirable thing in the world, but his intellect was something to be noted of. He had an acute ability to build Inators (His term for machines) that had a vast array of effects. Like Major Monogram noted, his newest Inator seemed to have startling power as glitter was raining around the area Dr. Doofensmirtz was in. He was in a dramatic pose and laughing in pride.
"AHAHAHA! Yes! At last I have accomplished the impossible! I, Doofensmirtz, have made glitter fall from the sky! Take that pop music! And this is only the beginning. I could create universes, or galaxies, or even a new type of animal... although I think that's been done recently. And it wasn't even created it was found." As usual, Dr. Doofensmirtz monologue trailed off from the main reason for the monologue. It was part of why he was not the most focused scientist in the world. Still he was good at his craft. Perry, approaching majestically from the sky, started to descend downward with the umbrella. His shadow started to show on the rooftop of the building that Dr. Doofensmirtz lived in and worked in. Dr. Doofensmirtz noticed the imposing and familiar shadow and looked up in surprise.
"Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it more glitter? No it's... ah great it's you. At least you didn't break through anything again." Dr. Doofensmirtz grumbled. Although he and Perry were much more acquainted than usual rivals and would help one another when necessary, they still had some animosity towards another. It was pretty much built from the whole rivalry they had as Perry would save the day as Agent P and stop Dr. Doofensmirtz and it would go on and on. Danville's residents definitely had a daily routine working out for them whether it was busting, or inventing something fun or new, or getting foiled. Perry landed and the umbrella flew off, presumably back to the park where back-up was stationed. He also revealed his new weapon. Perry glanced at Dr. Doofensmirtz with a serious expression. Normally it would be of skepticism but Perry did not ignore warnings. Dr. Doofensmirtz also took note of Perry's new weapon that was in his hands.
"Is that what they use to shoot the yummy crackers at baseball games? Well Perry, it's cute but it's nothing compared to my ConjureInator! By the way, the reason it's called 'Conjure' is because 'Create' has been used WAY too many times for my liking. So as you can see it can create just about anything upon vocal commands as long as you within the machine's frequency. You could also do it with thoughts but it takes time to read those thoughts. You just missed me create glitter that rained down from the heavens and annoyed the Tri-State Area. That was only a fraction of what this Inator can do." Dr. Doofensmirtz explained with obvious pride and confidence in his ConjureInator. Perry looked slightly impressed. Usually Dr. Doofensmirtz was not so detailed or prepared with his explanations but this speech had proven he had done his homework. Still, his explanation also meant that this ConjureInator could prove to be very powerful and confirmed Major Monogram's warning. It basically allowed someone to alter reality. Although there were two things Perry was awaiting for that did not come yet and he chattered to make his wondering known.
"What's that? Oh yeah, a back-story. Well you see, I actually couldn't think of a back-story at the moment and considered creating one, though of course that would completely negate the meaning of a back-story. But then that gave me the wonderful idea of a machine that could CREATE anything and so voila! Instant Inator! And about the trap... well I don't need one with this Inator. I am certain it can handle you and your new... whatever it is. But first, undo glitter rain." Dr. Doofensmirtz said the last few words as though giving commands. The glitter that had been raining down disappeared in a flash. It appeared as though this machine could also reverse any changes made or make things that were created last disappear. Interesting, Perry thought. But then in an instant, Dr. Doofensmirtz barked some commands,
"Create some rockets that go boom!" Three lit up rockets, like the kind used in firework shows, appeared from the sky and went after Perry. Perry armed his weapon and aimed. He didn't know what to expect from pulling the trigger as this was his first time using the weapon but he trusted O.W.A.C.A... Hmm? The thought seemed funny for some reason...
Perry resumed focus and fired, a bag of cracker jacks was fired out and flew towards one of the rockets. It soon hit the rocket and in a stunning display, it exploded like a bomb and blew up the rocket along with it. A perfect demonstration of the destructive power Carl said it had. Though there were still two more. Perry did an expert back-flip on one hand to avoid the last two rockets that had tactically come from either side of Perry. The rockets took flight again after Perry expertly avoided the attack. This gave Perry a chance to examine the gun some more. He noted that there were several settings. "Fire One, "Fire Two", "Close Range", "Any Range", "Small", "Medium", and "Super-Size". The first two seemed to talk about how many bags were fired at once and was set to "Fire One", the next two indicated the range and was default to "Any Range", while the last three were probably about the radius of the explosion and impact, which was set to "Medium". Pretty nifty, Agent P thought. He changed "Fire One" to "Fire Two" and then fired at the rockets. Two bags flew out this time and just like before, destroyed the rockets in a memorable and somewhat elegant explosion. Dr. Doofensmirtz looked stunned.
"Wow... they actually built something that can compete with an Inator that can alter reality. Very flashy though, I approve of this design." He remarked positively. Agent P didn't want to risk letting Dr. Doofensmirtz use such a potent machine again and so, setting the gun to "Fire One" and "Super-Size", fired at the ConjureInator. Dr. Doofensmirtz noticed and after screaming in fear, commanded.
"Make that thingy disappear before it hits you!" In an instant it did, the fired bag of Cracker Jacks disappeared. Agent P clicked his tongue in frustration. It could make even projectiles disappear or things that existed already. Dr. Doofensmirtz looked grumpy and folded his arms.
"Wow, I can't believe you have no regard for the ConjureInator. It took a really long time building this and you just wanted to destroy it instantly. You haven't even seen the best part of it... well actually you did but still! You'll pay for that futile attempt! Create an attack that Perry will never escape from!" Dr. Doofensmirtz shouted. The response was elaborate and terrifying. At least thirty giant spears materialized above Perry, staying put like a well-trained army and looking eager to strike. Perry's eyes suddenly widened and, so completely shocked by the sudden aggressive move, froze.
"Eh, spears are kind of old-fashioned aren't they?" Dr. Doofensmirtz questioned. However, he did not realize the full intensity of this attack. The spears clearly looked very sharp, and like they would easily pierce through any sort of flesh. They were also scarily large and it was likely, because of Dr. Doofensmirtz' command, they would not miss. They suddenly hurled forward towards Perry at what seemed to be a rabid speed. Dr. Doofensmirtz finally realized that his command was specific for all the wrong reasons. He desperately called out,
"WAIT! MISS! MISSSSS!" Perry could only stand absolutely petrified. He didn't even know the machine's accuracy, or how long it took for it to input a command right after a previous one. A frightened look, a look of complete fear and almost heartbreak was worn on his face. The spears seemed to be aiming straight for him. Perry uttered what appeared to be a gasp and for a few seconds, everything was black. And then...

When 'life flashes in front of your eyes' it is an uncanny experience. You see the fondest memories of your life, the happiest, the saddest, the weirdest, the most memorable. So Perry's life simply flashed in front of his eyes and when it was over, he saw Dr. Doofensmirtz shaking him firmly and looking panicked shouting,
"Perry?! PERRY?! Hello, earth to nemesis! The spears missed, just like I commanded. A-And I made them disappear afterward! Though, whew! That was a close one. Next time I'll have to be wary of what adjectives I use to describe commands." Perry finally came back into reality, still standing up, and he noticed the spears were gone like his frenemy had said they were. He saw that he had dropped the weapon O.W.A.C.A worked so hard to make him. Perry didn't mind though, he realized there was still so much he had to do. Although he had been through a lot, he still had people that cared about him and that he cared about. He had developed a unbreakable will over the years, and he was not going to let it fall easily. So Perry took a deep breath and composed himself by adjusting his fedora, with the professionalism of a true O.W.A.C.A agent, much to Dr. Doofensmirtz' delight.
Ok so chapter 2 is done! I wonder how long it takes writer's to make an original song and get it all situated cause it sure takes me a while to do these songs, but they are a trademark of the show and one of my favorite parts about it ^_^. Plus this will be my only song in this story. So the song is inspired by 'Domino' by Jessie J which is SUCH a catchy song. Plus I kind of envisioned having a musical number like this with Candace and Jenny singing about mysteries. Though the concept changed as I've discovered some cool mystery series' lately so it worked out well. Also, the 'life flashing' scene was something I came up with recently and thought it was a great idea. I've never experienced that, and I don't know if it's real, but many people or at least scripts say things like 'I saw my life flash in front of my eyes' so I thought I could use it. Plus it was a much better idea I think than my initial idea for the part where Perry sees how scary the ConjureInator can be which was hovering over T territory _. Also, I hope that I've written Jenny to be a likable character since she's so underdeveloped in the series. I try not to write her like she's ALL about the enviroment or her interests like Dawn from Total Drama Revenge of the Island but more like she's a teenage girl who just cares about the enviroment. I also think she's pretty smart and cares about others. Like in the Phineas and Ferb-Busters episode where she proposed to Stacy the idea about going along with Candace's plan so that Candace will drop the busting once and for all. If you understand anyway. So Candace and Jenny start their mystery-solving with Phineas and Ferb's new mystery while Perry has to tackle a much tougher mystery with the ConjureInator. But will Dr. Doofensmirtz find new ideas that might turn the ConjureInator into the thing he needs to take over Danville? And can Candace and Jenny find any new clues or ideas for not only Phineas and Ferb's mystery but the mystery of the camera? Find out next time on chapter 3! ^_^ Once again I take no ownership of the material used and all rights belong respectfully and eloquently to Phineas and Ferb and Disney. Thank you ^_^.
