I have no idea if I managed to write this chapter in a funny style, but when I worked out the idea with some friends, I almost died of laughter. I hope you will too. I also (finally) added some romance to the chap. Comment please and enjoy.
chapter four - Lawrence's dream!
The woman collapsed on the spot. Both, Perry and Doofenschmirtz were at a lost for what to do and could only look stupidly at the woman lying on the floor. Then, Doofenschmirtz expression turned into an angry one and he put his hands on his hips.
"Oh that's just great. Now how am I supposed to turn this woman's dream into a nightmare?"
"Uhm … can I help you?" Somebody said.
Doofenschmirtz looked at Perry dumbfounded. "Did you just talk?" He asked.
Perry shook his head as a response. They both looked around, but Doofenschmirtz was unable to find the source of the voice. He looked at Perry but noticed that Perry was looking in a different direction.
"Hey … hey what are you looking … oooooohhhh …" Doofenschmirtz followed Perry's gaze and was suddenly nose to nose with a blond man in a brown tux.
"So … can I help you or not?" He asked again.
Doofenschmirtz looked at Perry, then at the blond, back at Perry, back at the blond, back at Perry and back at the blond. Then he smirked.
"Dear Sir, this wild mammal is threatening me. Perhaps you could just … you know … capture it?" he smiled a wicked smile, clapping his hands together.
"Capture the platypus?" The man questioned.
The very moment these words were said, Perry disappeared and reappeared in a see through tea can. He looked at the two males, not quite getting what just happened. But when he looked at the sleepy-looking blond, everything suddenly made sense. And not only for him. Doofenschmirtz also looked like he was getting what was happening. He wanted to look at the woman on the floor, but she was gone, so he looked back to the man in front of him. Then he looked at Perry in the tea can and back at the blond man.
"Could it … could it be? Is this your dream, sir?" Doofenschmirtz asked.
"Dream?" The man looked around. "Hmm … yes … could be … maybe this really is a dream …"
Doofenschmirtz looked at blond annoyed and also a bit irritated.
"This is SO not worth it." Doofenschmirtz said and took the little device from earlier in his hands.
He pushed the button before Perry could do anything and a purple beam shot out of the device, heading to the rooftop. It disappeared, but the scene changed. Suddenly, they were in a graveyard and the mood was like that of a horror movie. A zombie that looked like the woman from before came out of one of the graves and started chasing the man.
"Well, I guess I was successful here. You know, Perry the platypus, I could just leave you here. That would be really evil. But I'm not a bad guy or a mean guy, I'm actually pretty nice even though I'm evil, so I'll take you with me. Besides that, you're stuck in a tea can, so there's nothing you can do to stop me now anyway!"
With that, Doofenschmirtz pressed the green button of his remote and they disappeared from sight.

"That was a lame dream", Phineas complained when they came out of his mother's dream.
"Indeed", Ferb agreed.
"I liked it." Isabella smiled.
Immediately, Phineas' mood dropped again and without saying another word, he walked to the other side of their parent's bed. As always, Ferb and Isabella followed him and after Ferb had set everything up, the three of them once again disappeared into dreamland.
They landed in a room. An empty room. The walls were grey as was the ceiling. The only thing that was worth catching anybody's attention was the man in the middle of that room that had luckily not spotted the three children yet. The peculiar thing about that man? He was wearing neon pink hippy clothes.
"AMANDA!" He cried and Phineas' and Ferb's mother fell from the sky.
She was wearing clothes from the eighties, in the style of her Lindana make-up. The trio looked at the ceiling, trying to recall if their mom had been hanging there before. And still, the only thing they saw was grayness. Music started playing from nowhere and the two started dancing wildly and passionately. Phineas, Ferb and Isabella watched, amazed at the duo's dancing skills until an old train suddenly landed right in front of their noses. But the train was only the beginning. All kinds of things started falling from the ceiling even though they never hung there; Clocks, books, chairs, desks, a record player, a chimney, a camel, the Tachmahal and a bunch of other things.
While Phineas, Ferb and Isabella were busy evading all the falling objects (most of them disappeared after they touched the floor), Linda and Lawrence danced across the room, not caring about the 'rain' and not getting hit by anything either. Whenever something was about to hit either one, they just danced out of the way without even noticing that they just escaped from a close death. The trio would have stood to stare but they were busy with not getting crushed.
Then, the scene changed. Instead of raining objects, all kinds of animals started falling from the sky which actually was a sky now. They were in some sort of stadium and instead of the mix between hip hop and disco they were now dancing a mix between salsa, samba, and flamenco. The outfits had changed as well. Lawrence was wearing tight pants, but a very wide shirt while Linda had something you'd see in these Brazilian samba parades. The music was fitting to the dance and while the two danced, the other three had problems not to get crushed by whales or elephants, not to get ripped apart by tigers or lions or bears and not get any poisonous animals on their head like spiders or scorpions or something.
"THAT IS CRAZY!" Phineas yelled over the music
"AT THIS RATE WE'RE GONNA DIE IN YOUR DAD'S DREAMS!" Isabella yelled back.
"FERB, GET US OUT OF HERE!"
Ferb wanted to do exactly that but just when he was about to press the button that got them out, the scene changed again and he hesitated. It wasn't raining weird things or animal's anymore, but normal water. The stadium had turned into a forest and they were standing in a wide circle without trees. Lawrence was wearing a tux, Linda a beautiful red ball dress that touched the floor. Slow, soft dancing music came out of nowhere and Lawrence and Linda started dancing a mix between slow waltz and ballet. The rain had them totally wetted through, but they were entranced in their dance and didn't notice. The world seemed to stand still as they encircled each other.
"How romantic", Isabella couldn't help but sigh.
She felt like she would melt any second. How she wished that she was Linda that very moment and Phineas was Lawrence. That wish was so strong that she felt it would suffocate her. While she felt incredibly happy and at piece and was entranced at the beauty of the scene, it also made her cry. Phineas couldn't help but smile, yet, the only thing he saw was the pretty scene in front of him. He was unable to understand the deeper meaning of it. Ferb's emotions were (as always) unreadable.
"Wow …" Phineas breathed. "This has to be something like the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."
"Isn't it?" Isabella agreed. "Oh how I wish it was me."
All three sighed.
"Well Ferb, I know what were gonna do tomorrow." Phineas smiled.
He turned to Isabella when he felt her tugging on his sleeve. For a moment, he was startled by her appearance. Her pupils were wide and filled with sadness, her hair sticking to her body from the rain that was running down her face. Her cheeks were flushed from the cold. She looked like a goddess and Phineas couldn't help but stare.
"Please", her voice snapped him back into reality. "I want to get out of here. Please, let's go!"
"Why? What's the matter?"
"It's just … I dunno …" Isabella sighed. "This is such a beautiful dream, but it makes me feel so sad. Please, I just wanna go."
"Alright then …" Phineas said.
All three pulled on their ears and with a short flash of light, they disappeared from sight. There were no longer three kids in Lawrence's dream, only him and his wife, walking with each other in close circles, finally coming to a halt nose to nose, totally wetted through. Then, the scene changed.
