EPIC DREAM: The Fanfic

Chapter 5: The Crystal Cave

AUGH!

Everyone continued to fall for a while before they landed uncerimoniously into a large water hole.

SPLASH

They bobbed up to the surface sputtering.

"Intriging," Edd said. They looked and saw that they were in a large crystal cave, with purple and pink crystals everywhere.

"Cool!" Phineas said as they crawled out of the water.

"Neat!" a toon alligator said.

"How are we going to get out of here?" Baljeet asked nervously.

He had a point. Looking up the shaft they had fallen into, they saw that they were so far into the hole, they couldn't see the surface.

Phineas and Ferb didn't have any tools, so it appeared that they were stuck.

Then Timmy called: "I found the truck!"

They looked and saw Vicky's truck by the edge of the water, but Vicky wasn't in there.

There was, however, some pounding from inside the cargo hold, like someone was trapped inside.

"Vicky must have gotten a few other people besides Timmy," Mac said.

They opened the door.

There wasn't a whole lot of people in it though, just a black haired kid with large glasses, a blue cat, and a goldfish with legs.

"Are you guys ok?" Isabella asked.

"I'm not so sure," the cat said, "It really stinks in here, it smells like "LOTSA SPAGHETTI"!"

"Ok...it actually smells like dead fish."

"DEAD FISH!" Excalibur, the toon swordfish yelled. He went stiff and fainted.

The cat's goldfish pal looked a little unnerved too, but he stayed a lot calmer.

In the mean time, they introduced themselves, the glasses wearing kid's name was Dib, the cat's name was Gumball, and his brother the goldfish was named Darwin.

"Ok, so how did you end up here?" Buford asked.

Dib explained, because the other two weren't exactly sure.

(Sometime earlier, in the gritty town)

Dib was so sure that the kid next door was an alien. He had failed at finding out so many times.

Now he had a foolproof plan, he had made a cake out of steel and was going to hide in it, because Zim's dog, or whatever it was, would probably like it. He would spy from inside of it. Oh sure it was low key compareed to a lot of his other schemes, but he decided that maybe something simpler would be a lot easier and wouldn't backfire.

He was on his way over to Zim's house.

"I hope this works..."

Then it hit, an earthquake shook up the town. Dib went rolling down the street inside the cake, crashing into something. It was a garden gnome, and not just any gnome, one with lasers in it.

"Darn it!"

ZAP ZAP ZAP

"AUGH!"

Dib half ran, half stumbled out of Zim's yard and into his own. He saw his sister Gaz staring at him out the with that little smile she always had whenever he got injured.

"I suppose it couldn't get any worse than this," Dib moaned.

Suddenly a truck shot up the street, and a laughing maniac grabbed him and threw him in the cargo hold.

"Good grief!"

(Back at the caves)

"So we know that Vicky was kidnapping you and a few others," Eddy said, "But why is that?"

No one knew of a good reason, though they wondered if it had to do with their worlds all colliding.

(Somewhere unknown)

?: What do you mean they did it?

? #2: They fell in before it was ready!

? #1: Dang it, this means a change of plans.

? #2: You mean we have to get "The L" now?

? #1: Oh yes...

(Night falls)

Night came and they still hadn't figured something out. They had decided to just sleep there for the night, since they obviously weren't going to be getting out anytime soon. Fortunately, Brent had some sleeping bags in the backpack he was wearing so everyone would be comfortable.

Everyone said good night, (except Bloo who didn't want to go to sleep), and went to sleep.

Timmy, when he was sure everyone was asleep, got his fairy godparents, who, along with Poof, had been disguised as some beetles on the ground.

"Didn't think of an idea?" Wanda asked Timmy.

"No, but I know of one thing that can get us out!" Timmy replied.

"Oh, wish for a giant ice cream sundae?" Cosmo asked.

"Well, no," Timmy answered.

"Rats," Cosmo said, "I was kinda hungry."

Timmy told them his wish. "I wish we were out of here!"

Cosmo and Wanda would have done it, but their wands hadn't finished charging before they had gone with Timmy.

"Rats."

Suddenly, there was a strange noise from nearby. Timmy ducked down into his sleeping bag and the three fairies poofed into teddy bears.

Timmy pretended to be asleep, but kept awake because he wanted to see who it was.

He saw a short figure dressed in black walking towards them. Everyone was still asleep and unaware of this new visitor.

The person walked around Phineas, stood there for a moment, then shook his head. He walked to Isabella, who slept with a smile on her face, probably dreaming about Phineas.

"She's too happy," Timmy heard the guy say in a gruff voice.

Then the guy walked toward Timmy. Timmy quickly went back to "sleeping" as the guy stood near him. Timmy got a whiff of something, what was it? Strawberries?

The dude walked away towards Rex. Timmy wondered what the guy was trying to do.

After a while, the guy came to Excalibur, who was frowning.

"Ok." The guy said, reaching into a pocket in the black leather jacket he was wearing and putting a cap on the swordfish, who stirred a little.

The guy pushed a button on something he was wearing on his face and disappeared.

"I wonder what he did to him." Timmy said to the fairies.

"Maybe we should go look!" Cosmo said.

"Poof, poof," Poof said.

Wanda was rather cautious about it, but Timmy went to look anyways.

Timmy saw that Excalibur had a gray cap on his head.

"What's so weird about that?" Timmy whispered.

He reached for it when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

Timmy turned and saw that it wasn't one of his fairies, but the guy who had been there!

"You didn't think I had actually left, did you?"
