Back at the Possible house, Candace was enjoying Kim's room in awe.

"I love your room!" Candace marveled "although you could use a door."

"Don't I know it."

"Wow, look at all the cool stuff you've got in here!" Candace said, looking like a kid in a candy store "what's this thing?" she asked, holding up Kim's Pandaroo.

"That's my Pandaroo, one of the Cuddle Buddies" Kim explained, taking her prized plush from the girl "he's my favorite."

"Neat" Candace said, ignoring her and going for the closet "ooh, can I try on some of your clothes."

"No!" Kim shouted, quickly throwing herself in front of the door of her closet "I mean, I don't think any of my clothes would fit you. Why don't we go to the mall and do a little shopping."

"Now you're talking my language!" Candace said excitedly.

"Just give me a few minutes to take care of things" Kim said, heading towards the little hatch that served as her doorway "while I'm gone, don't touch anything." She gave Candace a glare "seriously, I mean it."

"Scouts honor" Candace said, crossing her heart with her finger. After the girl left, Candace pulled out her cell phone. "I'd better get as many pictures as I can" she said "ooh, Stacy is going to love these!"

"I don't know what it is Ferb, but I seem to have lost my creative edge" Phineas told his stepbrother as they sat on the couch in the Possible living room "I haven't had a big idea all day. It's like this town is a creativity zapper or something."

"I'm sure we can come up with something" Ferb said "let's not forget, we are in the house of a world renowned hero, after all."

"Good point" Phineas said "maybe we can make some kind of spy gadgets, like from that mission you set up for us a while back."

"I told you, I didn't have anything to do with…oh never mind" Ferb replied.

"Hey, Phineas & Ferb my main bros!" Ron said, entering the living room.

"Hi Ron" Phineas said, getting off the couch to greet him "long time no see."

"Likewise" Ron said "so, you guys still building cool stuff?"

"Yup. You still saving the world?"

"Oh yeah" Ron replied.

There was an awkward silence between the two, as neither could come up with another topic of conversation. Then Ron broke the ice.

"Hey I don't see Perry anywhere."

"Oh yeah, we had to leave him at home" Phineas explained "Isabella's watching him."

"Too bad, Rufus was looking forward to chilling with him. Weren't you buddy?"

Rufus popped out of Ron's pocket "uh huh, chilling" he replied, putting on a mini pair of sunglasses.

"Well no prob, the two of you can hang with us" Ron said "while Kim and your sister do their girly things, I'll take you guys on a trip of all of Middleton's coolest places."

"That could be fun" Phineas said "maybe it will help me think of something to do."

"We could help with that" said a pair of voices from nearby.

Phineas, Ferb & Ron turned their attention to the bottom of the stairs, where Jim & Tim were standing.

"Oh hi" Phineas said, upon noticing them "you must be Kim's brothers. She mentioned you were geniuses, which is ironic, since Ferb and I are too."

"We heard" Jim said "and we're really excited to have some other kids our age to play with."

"Not to mention our IQ" Tim added.

"We've got this new project we were working on…" Jim began.

"…And we could use some help with it" Tim finished.

"If they ask you to make an A-Bomb, just say no" Ron said, whispered to Phineas.

But the two out of town boys didn't have anytime to make a decision as Kim & Candace arrived seconds later.

"Well, I'm glad to see you four finally met each other" Kim said "unfortunately, whatever you're planning will have to wait. I'm taking your sister shopping at the mall, and you two are going with Ron."

"So Mr. Stoppable, what's our first stop on the tour of your city?" Phineas asked.

"Oh, I think you dudes will like it" Ron said, as they headed out the door "it's a cultural institution here at Middleton. A place that has defined this city for as long as I can remember."

"Sounds like something dad might like" Phineas mentioned to Ferb "maybe we could get him to visit it later."

After a ride on Ron' s scooter, the boys arrived at their destination.

"Bueno Nacho" Phineas said, reading the sign "you wanted to show us a Mexican-themed restaurant. That doesn't seem very historic."

"Maybe not to you, but Bueno Nacho has been there for me for all the good times in my life" Ron said "and some of the bad ones. Now come on, give it a try."

"I must protest the bizarre naming of this establishment" Ferb said "since bueno is the Spanish word for 'good', that would mean the place is technically called, 'Good Nacho.' Perhaps 'perfect' would have been a more appropriate description, although I suppose it depends on the quality of the food."

"Okay just for that, you're not getting any grande size" Ron countered.

"Yeah!" Rufus added, emerging from his pocket.

A few minutes later, the two boys were seated at a table, when Ron came back from the counter with a tray loaded with food.

"Okay, since you're new here, I thought I'd start you guys off with some basics" he explained "so I got you a regular order of nachos, plus a naco for each of you."

"Naco?" Phineas asked.

"Combination nacho and taco" Ron explained "I don't mean to brag, but I invented it."

"Maybe we could try inventing our own food" Phineas said to his brother.

"Preferably a less disgusting and more healthy one" Ferb added.

"Come on Ferb, we're guests here" Phineas said "it wouldn't kill us to try some local food."

"Actually, given the large amounts of meat and cheese present in this cuisine, it might" Ferb replied.

Phineas ignored him and took a bite of the naco "mmm, not bad."

Ferb decided to give his naco a try as well. "I will admit, despite its' high fat content, it is quite tasty" he admitted.

"You'd be surprised how often I hear that" Ron replied.

While the boys enjoyed their food, on the other side of the city, Kim had taken Candace to Middleton Mall, and the girl was like a kid in a candy store. Or, more appropriately, a teenager in a shopping center.

"This mall is so awesome!" Candace said, as she looked from store to store "our mall doesn't have half these places."

"And you haven't even seen the best part" Kim replied, "come on."

The teen heroine led Candace to Club Banana. Once inside, Candace's already large eyes grew nearly twice their size.

"Oh man, look at this place" she said excitedly "is this where you get your clothes?"

"Mostly" Kim replied "this place has some of the best designer fashions in the world."

Candace mostly ignored her and began looking at the clothes. "Oooh, I like this one" she said, holding up a dazzling outfit. Then she checked the price "whoa, I can't afford that!"

"No big" Kim said "I work here, so I get an employee discount. If you want, I can buy some stuff for you."

"You'd do that for me?"

"Sure."

"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!" Candace said quickly, before running around the store in a frenzy.

"Uh, you're welcome" Kim said, dumbfounded.

Meanwhile Monique, who had watched the two come in as she folded jeans on one of the display tables, came over to her friend.

"Who's the hyper girl?"

"Oh that's Candace" Kim explained "she and her brothers are visiting from out of town, so I thought I'd show her around."

"She the one with the genius brothers like yours?" Monique asked.

"They're not exactly like mine" Kim said "for one thing, they're much more polite. And they don't build anything potentially dangerous."

"So I assume you're keeping them away from your brothers then?"

"Oh yeah."

Before the conversation could continue, Kim heard the familiar 'beep beep bee beep' of the Kimmunicator.

"What's the sitch Wade?"

"I just got a report of a break in at a high tech lab in Lowerton" Wade replied.

"Okay, I'll get Ron and get there ASAP" Kim told him "monitor the break-in and report anything useful."

"Will do."

As Kim signed off, Candace came up holding a pile of clothes.

"Okay, I picked out a few ones I liked" she said "could you help me decide what's in right now?"

"I can't right now, I've got to go."

"Go? But we were having such a fun time!" Candace said "I thought we were going to see more sights!"

"Oh we will" Kim replied "but I have a mission to attend to right now."

"Ooh, can I come?" Candace asked "I'd love to see you in action."

"Sorry, but I can't chance you getting hurt" Kim said, before reaching her pocket and fishing out her wallet. "Here" she said, handing Candace her employee card "this will get you a discount on your clothes. Just please don't spend too much, okay?"

"You can count on me Kim" Candace said, as she headed back towards the clothes racks.

"Don't worry girl, I'll make sure she doesn't spend any more than you can afford" Monique said.

"Thanks Monique, you rock" Kim replied "I shouldn't be gone long."

In the next chapter, our heroes battle a familiar ally at the lab, and a popular reality show is spoofed. You'll have to read on to find out which one.
