Bludge is dead. Yes. He died protecting Smiles and Ruby.


(Olimar's POV)

I heard the sound of walking down the stairs, and pained gasps.

"Good morning Smiles!" I yell, causing a loud thump, followed by a bunch of small thumps, and ending when Smiles landed on the floor in the kitchen. "I don't think the doctor said that you should be falling down the stairs in your condition." I can't help smiling.

"Oh sure. That's great. I still say that being hit in the back of the head with a folding chair is the worse thing that ever happened to me."

"When would you ever get hit in the back of the head with a folding chair?"

"Kidnapping isn't as easy as one would think." He replied. He stumbles over to the cabinet and pulls out a pan. He goes to the cabinet and grabs some instant space noodles. He then hobbled over to the spice cabinet and grabbed several bottles. He finally grabbed a bulborb behind and started getting to work.


(Iris' POV)

The cold came in. You could see it come in. The walls frosted over, and you could see the wind blowing in. I guess we didn't have to worry about the sun anymore.

"Where is Misery?" Malady yelled crossly, wheeling down the stairs in a wheelchair, her foot bandaged heavily.

"What happened to your foot?" Maru asked. Everyone groaned, expecting one of Malady's many hour long stories.

"Don't you dare change the subject!" Malady hissed. Maru went cross-eyed, and sneezed loudly. Yami looked disgusted for a second, before coughing audibly.

"Hey Maru? Do you feel that?" Yami asked.

"Yeah. Like the worse head cold ever." Maru replied. Malaise was next, looking more wide awake then she ever had. I glance over at Scaredy, who was trying to stifle a yawn.

"You know. I think a nap is good, yes?" With that, Scaredy fell forward, asleep.

"We will only ask one more time. Where is Misery?" Malaise growled, the butterflies stopped fluttering, and the snake that she had with her hissed angrily.

"Don't know." I say between yawns. I blink the sleep out of my eye. "She went after Ruby and Dante." At this point Malady and Malaise notices the addition in members.

"There doesn't happen to be a person here named Akuma, is there?" Malady asked.

"No. What do you want with my father?" Skull Boy asked. Misery's cousins gasped audibly.

"How did you know that?" Malaise demanded. "Misery said she wouldn't tell."

"And she didn't." A new voice joined the group. Everyone turned to see Mr. Mumbles leaning against the entrance to Misery's bedroom.

"Dr.- Mr. Mumbles. What are you doing here?" Malady asked.

"The question is not why I'm here, but why you two are together."

"Err... um..." The tables had been quickly turned. Mr. Mumbles then turned to us, his eyes glancing over Maruyami, who was holding their heads, and Scaredy who was soundly asleep, with Doom trying her best to wake him up.

"And for Hell's sake! Concentrate! Misery does better than you two!" He snarled, surprisingly scarily. Socrates croaked loudly, then made a noise like he was clearing his throat. "Eh? Oh quite right." He pulled out a hankercheif and started wiping his brow. When he pulled it away, the hankercheif had turned a bright red color for a few seconds, before changing back to its original white. "I just happened to see it all. Dante was up in his (freshly built) workshop, when a lightning strike happened! This caused power to leak out of their bodies. This would be fine, if Telematus didn't hit his cell, calling a friend in another dimension. The power was transfered through the dimensions and latched onto the thing of highest power there, which I have just got word of, is a flux capacitor of a device that sends people into videogames. Thus, Ruby is trapped in an isolated dimension. No way for anyone less than Telematus to get to it. And as it was, his power is gone too. Telematus probably transported them to the dimension with the flux capacitor."

"Great! Let's go!" Malaise yelled. Len fell asleep.

"Ahem." Mr. Mumbles coughed.

"I know! Focus!" She yelled.

"She can be a bitch without sleep. And by all of hell's fire, she needs it." I heard Mr. Mumbles mumble. I followed, unsure of what exactly we were doing. At least the sun was gone.


(Smiles' POV)

Despite the thoughts of many, the thing that flatters a che most is when someone burps. Which Olimar proceeded to do.

" 'Scuse me." He said.

"No. Burping means that one is content. In other words, my cooking did what it was supposed to do."

"So." Ruby said, licking the bottom of the bowl. "This artificial reality dome? You made a restaurant on the top of the Eiffel Tower?"

"Oh, recreating the entire city of Paris, including inhabitants, is simple. Getting Isabella to come back out again was the tricky part. One wrong move from Phineas and she would have exploded." I sipped the drink. "Is there someone special in your life?" Ruby blushed deeply.

"Oooh. You have to tell me. Details." She gave me an odd look.

"Sorry. I pick up on tendencies. That's what I get for trying to figure out how teenage girls work." Especially since it was Candace. Olimar chuckled.

"Many a man has tried. Goodness me. Libra is almost there."

"I'd estimate she's about Phin's age. Ten?"

"Eleven." He went back to sipping, before choking and spitting the tea that he was drinking, out. "There ten? Aren't they a little young?"

"Do you know how many people have asked that questin. 'Aren't you a little young to be restoring a national monument.' " I say, mimicking the park ranger at Mount Rushmore. " 'Aren't you a little young to know of these detective stories?' 'Aren't you a little young to be ordering all this stuff?' 'Yes, yes he is. Sorry Phineas he's new here.' "

"Was I supposed to see something there?"

"No. I'm just impersonating people."


(Dante's POV)

"Hurry hurry hurry. Ehehehehehehe." A rather oddly proportioned girl came out. She had shoulder length orange-red hair, which was pretty long considering how long her neck was. I mean, she could have been half-giraffe. "See mom!"

"Candace, I doubt that the boys could- HOLY GUACAMOLE!" A woman in her fourties was dragged out. "Lawrence! Get out here!" A man, also in his fourties came out, looking at what was going on.

"Woah! Boys! What a turn out!" Lawerence said.

"You knew about this?" Linda asked aghast.

"Well- I uh no." He stuttered.

"Hey mom." Phineas said, squeezing between Irving and Django to get to his mother.

"What is going on?"

"Well, Ferb and I had built a Videogame Reality-inator. Dr. D wouldn't help unless we called it that."

"Dr. D?" The woman asked.

"Alright Phineas. Power levels are returning to normal, but the flux capacitor is still-" Heinz said, looking down at a clipboard.

"Heinz?"

"Linda?" Heinz yelled, astonished to see her. "W-what are you doing here?"

"What am I-? I live here!"

"Oh. Well, it sure is a nice place."

"Heinz, I have no idea why you've made my sons build such a horrid device, but I swear I'm pulling the plug!" Not on my watch. I click a button. My backpack opens up, a giant gloved hand popped out and grabbed her arm. "W-What the-?"

"I would not recommend that."

"W-Who are you?"

"Dante. Dante Poulsen." I take her hand and shake it. "And you're..." My visor slides down and I start reading. "Linda Flynn-Fletcher. Anyway, I wouldn't recommend pulling the plug on that device."

"And why not?" I shrug.

"Go ahead." She reaches for the power cord. "Of course, you're the one that's going to have to explain the sudden disappearance of one Smiles Garcia-Shapiro." Her hand faulters.

"What?"

"You see, your sons invent amazing things each day. Candace goes and tries to get them... what was the word you used?"

"Busted." Candace replied.

"Busted. At the same time, Doof is fighting... uh..." He catches the glares from those 'in the loop.' "A guy named Agent P. His inators always destroy the boys' inventions before you can ever see them, i.e. a roller rink turned into a giant loaf of bread and then eaten by ravenous pigeons."

"Yeah, Per-" He is stopped when Phineas tugged his lab coat. "Huh?"

"Don't give away Perry's secret. Monogram will wipe all of our memories." Phineas whispered. "In fact, as the way this is going, we're going to have to wipe mom's." All of a sudden, Doofenshmirtz got a determined look on his face.

"Linda. Your boys never got hurt on any of their inventions."

"Safety first." Ferb said, peeking into the flux capacitor chamber.

"Yes, but-"

"Listen. Linda. This is probably all going very fast for you. But rest assured, no one has ever gotten hurt on one of Phineas and Ferb's inventions. And as Candace probably told you, they sure make a lot of em." Dante polished the lense. "Now, I promise you, we will get the kids out."

"Kidzz." Linda's eyes narrowed.

"Yes. Unfortunately my good friend Ruby Gloom, owner of the Gloom Mansion, is trapped in their. With no heir or will, the land would probably be demolished."

"Demolished!" Misery's voice came from the background. She walked over, the scythe over one shoulder. I put my head in my hands.

"I'm about to make her feel okay about this, and you have to come along and-"

"Oh, you have a problem with that future-boy?"

"Oh sure! Yeah, how about you tell everyone about that! Now everyone is going to line up and ask me how their future turns out. Do you think I can answer that? No. Just... be quiet before you say something we all regret."

"I-I ohhh my head." Linda said, sitting down.

"Yeah, realizing that everything that you was a lie can do that to you." I said, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Look out below!" A voice called, followed by a frog croak. No. No, not now. I just got everyone used to Misery. Please don't be bad, please don't be bad. The first thing out, landing with a clatter, was a pile of bones, from what appeared to be a hole in the tree. A bright flashing hole. It was bad. Mass hysteria bad. And that was just Skull Boy. I mean, look what happened to E.T. And he had SKIN!

"If I could have everyone exit the backyard in a neat and orderly fashi-" Next came Iris, landing on Skull Boy's head.

"Ouch!"

"Sorry Skull Boy." Iris said, helping Skull Boy to his feet. At this point, all of the smaller kids ran, and most of the older kids. Actually, anyone that wasn't in Phineas's immediate loop didn't run. Let's see. Buford, Baljeet (Being held back by Buford, wedgie fashion), Django, Irving, Phineas, Ferb, the entire Fireside Girls, Perry, Doof, Candace, Lawerence, and Linda.

"Ahem. Everyone, this is Iris-" Iris curtseys. "And Skull Boy." He takes off his head and tips it as if it was a hat. "Ahem. They're friends." But of course, it wouldn't stop there. Next came Frank and Len, followed by Poe, Scaredy Bat, Boo Boo, Malady, Malaise, Dr. Valentiner, and finally Socrates, landing on the doctor's head. "Oh no, keep coming. By all means, overwhelm this considerably normal family. I should have listened to mother and became an accountant."

"Well. Whell, how now! This is quite a nice looking place." Poe crowed.

"That bird is talking." Linda stammered.

"If you ask me, I think his brothers are better company." At this Edgar and Allen fall out, followed by Doom Kitty. "Is that everyone? You aren't going to bring Skele-T into this are you? Cause that's just what we need right now. A bunch of jazz playing calacas."

"Really?" Phineas asked.

"I was being sarcastic. Well, you all seem to be taking this considerably well." I say too soon.

"BOO!" Boo Boo yelled, coming out of the ground in front of them, causing them to hop up in fright. "Oooh. Hot crowd, hot crowd." Of course, Mr. White (The larger one) and Mr. Whyt floated out.

"Alright Boo Boo. You have scared outside of your haunting zone. Your going back to the Ghost School." Mr. White said menancingly.

"Yeah! Fright Classes!"

"Good one, Mr. Whyt."

"Thank you, Mr. White."

"No." Boo Boo sighed, being pulled back into the portal before it finally closed shut behind them.

"Well, I guess its better than them staying." I say, scratching my head.

"Hey! The day's starting!" Phineas said, returning his gaze back to the T.V. Well, that could have gone worse. I heard the sound of fainting behind me. Everyone besides Buford, Phineas, Ferb, Addyson, Doofenshmirtz, and Perry had fainted. Yep, better than expected.
