As the cart drove further through the floor, Perry thought he recognized Candace also, being chased by a few others. And he saw a glimpse of Phineas and Ferb's project. A tube?

Doofenshmirtz obviously doesn't care for those things and shoved Perry off the cart while distracted. The cart was now going back into the perfume department, going full circle.

Perry used his grappling hook again, to latch onto the cart. However, this time he knotted the end on a pole, as if the cart were a dog on a leash. At this moment, Heinz pulled out his Eau de Inator out of his pocket again.

As she skated a bit over the third floor, Candace thought she noticed a cart full of perfume passing by, with some strange people riding on it to boot. Since she was still being chased by Remy, she couldn't stop to take a second look, but she thought she saw something teal with a hat from 1940-something and a really ugly pharmacist.

The long-necked girl and her chasers were already completing one lap of the floor. Candace believes that if she could just skate around the entire floor for as many laps as she can until five o' clock would be good enough to keep Remy busy. Hopefully, she could skate as long as 5:30 so Mom could finally see what Phineas and Ferb are doing too, as an added bonus. Candace was already beaming with excitement and felt incredibly smart about her plan.

However, fate wasn't as kind to her.

Candace just noticed Trixie and Veronica in the distance. Even though it is the second time the group would pass them, Candace was extremely nervous that they would meet up again in such a fashion, and she was afraid she had to explain everything in detail.

But Candace didn't want to bust Trixie. She wanted to bust Phineas and Ferb.

Fearfully thinking about Trixie's future, Candace wasn't looking out at all and was caught off-guard when she appears to be heading straight to the elevator's doors, bumping on them and falling on the floor.

The flask with Boom Juice she held rolled out of her hand on the floor.

Right before Remy's feet.

"And thank you, miss Brontosaur", Remy said. Not that Candace could hear it, because the bump made her unconscious for about twenty seconds.

When Candace woke up, she noticed her hand was flaskless and that Remy and his bully gang was gone.

Candace tried to stand up and went to see where Remy was. As she looked down from the third floor, the feared assumptions she had were proven true: Remy and his cronies were heading straight to some huge contraption that had 'Phineas and Ferb' written all over it.

Candace was having none of that. She skated towards the nearest escalator and grinded on the railing. She tried to, at least, and she was failing hard.

But extra bruises didn't matter. She had to stop Remy as soon as possible.

As the rope of the grappling hook stretched, the cart halted, letting Doof fall off and release his flask of perfume. The perfume fell on the ground and it smell reached a brown-haired valley girl nearby.

But Doofenshmirtz was more focused on the bottle itself. "Great", he said. "Now the glass is all broken. Ugh, now I need to clean it up."

But when Heinz said that, the brown-haired girl already picked up the shards for him.

"Oh, that's very nice of you", Doof said.

"That's because you asked me to do it, master", the girl spoke in a somewhat monotonely voice.

"M-master?", Heinz said. "I'm not a-". But Doofenshmirtz cut himself off as he realized what just happened. "Oh, the perfume, of course", he murmured.

But what if the girl was just being polite? And liked talking in a monotone voice? And has the habit of mispronouncing 'mister' as 'master'? Okay, all of that combined sounds improbable, but hey, it can happen. So, Doofenshmirtz decided to test if the perfume worked.

"Ummm, sit down", he commanded.

The girl sat down.

"Now umm, pick your nose", Doof said.

The girl put a finger in her nose.

"And now, twirl like a ballerina"

The girl did as bidden.

"YES", Doofenshmirtz said. "My perfume works!"

Perry just reached the perfume department to see Heinz has succeeded.

"Ah, just in time, Perry the Platypus", Heinz said. Then he commanded to the girl: "Now hold my nemesis over there for me, will you?"

The brunette held Perry tight.

"Now wait here", Doof commanded. He pulled out his phone.

In the closet, Norm was still lying down with his head in the cauldron, when his built-in phone rang. The large robot man stood up (still with the cauldron on his head), and 'picked it up', so to speak.

"HELLO, SIR. THIS IS NORM THE ROBOT", Norm answered.

"Get your cauldron ready, Norm: the Eau de Inator's a success", Doofenshmirtz said. "You know the formula, right?"

Norm responded: "YOU HAVE PROGRAMMED THAT IN MY MIND, SIR. SO YES, YES I DO." Norm put the cauldron off his head and placed it in front of him.

"Great! And you got the ingredients too?" Heinz asked.

"I HAVE THEM RIGHT HERE", Norm replied, while opening his body case, revealing a variety of things needed for the formula, as well as a squirrel, still powering Norm by running in a hamster wheel.

"Good, good", Doofenshmirtz said. "I'll be right by your side in a minute."

He ended the call and commanded his new slave: "I'll be gone for a while. Stay here and keep Perry the Platypus tight, will ya?"

"As you wish, master", the girl said and held Perry even tighter. The platypus growled.

Heinz went out of the perfume department and followed the way to the large closet his robot lackey was waiting. On his way, he passed Veronica and Trixie again.

"Never thought we'd see this weirdo pharmacist twice", Trixie said with disgust.

Doofenshmirtz heard that and said: "Hey, you take that back, lady! I am NOT a pharmacist!"

Trixie and Veronica looked at Doof with the same kind of unimpressed faces the scientist has seen dozens of times on his platypus nemesis.

"Ugh fine, call me a pharmacist you want", Heinz scoffed. "But you'll be very sorry once I get both of you under my control, and I finally get to take over THE ENTIRE TRI-STATE AREA!" Doof then went on his way to the closet and slammed the door.

"...we're not even IN the Tri-State Area", Veronica responded.

"I KNOW!" Heinz could be heard from the closet.

Author's Note: The next chapter will be a big one! It was originally supposed to be one whole chapter as well, but when I first published it, I found it so big that I decided to split it up in three separate parts. Now, though, it has been merged together.

Also, the XL-sized chapter will have a bunch of scene changes, meaning we will get bits of everyone in the story.

Please tell me what you think of the story so far, and don't forget to favorite.
