Olivia: Sorry! I meant to update this earlier, but I didn't know whether to split this up into two chapters or not.
Desirae: Also she's been lazy.
Olivia: Not lazy, busy with life. Anyway, thanks to Randomchick16, Radar 180, NattyMc, PhineasAndFerbFan114, Kelly of the midnight dawn, thewolfstar, Akozu Heiwa, Angel-of-Energy, Christian A, and Xx blackflowerblossom xX for their awesome reviews. I appreciate each and every one of them because each and every one of them makes me smile :)
Desirae: Now on to the fic.
Candace lay across her bed, her legs hanging off one side, her head over the other and her phone glued to her ear.
"Anyway Stacy, now I don't know what to do. I made a total moron of myself at the park yesterday looking around for my brothers' thing-a-ma-jigger, and now Jeremy thinks I'm crazy because it wasn't even there." Stacy's voice could be heard on the other end of the line.
"Honestly Candace, I think you're overreacting. Jeremy knows how you are with your brothers. If he doesn't think you're crazy by now, I don't think he ever will."
"I don't know whether to find that comforting or insulting."
"It wasn't meant to be an insult."
"Oh, okay then," Candace sat straight up and crossed her legs, "But what if he does? I mean, I knocked over an ice cream vender because I thought I saw Phineas flipping a tree upside down. It turned out to be a little kid buying the ice cream."
"How does that even work?"
"I don't even know. Speaking of which, I haven't heard from the boys in over an hour. What are they up to?"
"Candace, isn't this part of your problem? You get over-obsessed with what the boys are doing and it ruins your social life. Why don't you just try forgetting about the boys for a day?"
"Stacy, now you're just talking crazy. You don't seem to get it. I have to bust the boys. It's my sole mission in life, apart from my future with Jeremy, to make sure the boys go down, way down, downtown. Seriously, they're going down."
"It's the opposite of up." Candace rolled her eyes.
"Really, Stacy?"
"What? I was adding to your idea. It's how you move conversation forward."
"Yea, I'll call you back as soon as I find out what they're doing, or not doing, or something." Candace hung up her phone and jumped over to open the window.
"What are you boys-" She looked down and saw nothing but an empty backyard. Funny, she could have sworn they were back there a minute ago. Upon closer inspection, she noticed a white slip of paper under the tree. Within seconds, she was in the backyard.
"What's this?" She thought as she looked at the paper more closely. There were letters and words from magazines all glued onto it. Weird, but then again, so were her brothers.
"'Dear sister, we have gone to see our friend Isabella and don't know when we'll be back. So don't come looking for them, I mean us. Signed, Phineas and Ferb.' Huh, now that's weird, even for them. I wonder-" Just then her cell phone rang and her face lit up when she saw who was calling.
"Oh hey, Jeremy! I'm so glad you called! Listen, I'm sorry about yesterday, I don't know what came over me." The letter fell back down to the ground, completely forgotten.
OOOOOOO
After scanning and destroying the unknown –inator, Perry began searching through Dr. Doofenshmirtz's things, trying to find something that could tell him what the scientist's plan was or where he could have gone.
This was the first time he hadn't been here when Perry arrived and he couldn't help but feel like it was because something wasn't right. He shook his head. It was silly, but at the same time, it seemed like the most irrefutable fact he knew. Something bad was going to happen.
After a few minutes, he found a scrap piece of paper with the words "Not Some Kind of a Food" on it. What on earth could that mean? He resumed his search. Another few minutes passed before he heard his watch beep again and Major Monogram appeared on the face.
"Agent P, we've located Dr. Doofenshmirtz. He's out grocery shopping for some reason. That reason, probably being that he's out of food, is a sign that he's not up to anything at all today. So I guess your work there is done. Have fun and take the rest of the day off."
Perry saluted but he wasn't about to go home. He had just searched Doofenshmirtz's apartment and his fridge, which he searched through partly to be thorough and partly because he was hungry, had been fully stocked. Something wasn't sitting right with him.
He ran toward the window and hang glided to the one grocer he knew Doofenshmirtz shopped at. He swooped down, collapsed the glider, and met his nemesis at the exit.
"Perry the Platypus! What, is it time for you already?" Perry crossed his arm and tapped his foot.
"What? Oh, you want to know what I was up to. Well, it's nothing that really concerns you at the moment. I just, um, picked up a couple things that could help me stand a fighting chance against you." Perry looked at the bag Doofenshmirtz was carrying but as far as he could see was the tip of a couple boxes of children's cereal. He could tell because they looked similar to the stuff he saw in his cupboard back home and the only people that ate that was Phineas, Ferb and sometimes Candace. He pointed to the bag and Doofenshmirtz rolled his eyes.
"I know this just looks like ordinary breakfast cereal, but you're just seeing it out of context. You see, Perry the Platypus, these boxes of Fruity Rainbow Flakes is the fuel to my plan to stop you in your tracks! Which would have started earlier today but, unfortunately I seem to be a bit behind schedule.
"Here I'll tell you what, you go back to your little organization or wherever it is you go after you've thwarted me, and then when I'm back on track, I'll call and tell you when I'm ready. Okay? Okay. Curse you- I mean, Goodbye, Perry the Platypus."
Perry watched as Doofenshmirtz climbed into his car, or Norm as a car, and drove off. Perry was about to follow him when his watch beeped again. He checked it to see Major Monogram yet again. This must be a new record for the amount of times he called in one day.
"Agent P, report back to the agency at once! It's an emergency! There's a spider on the doorknob out of the camera room. Carl and I can't get out!" Perry sighed in frustration. Would those two ever get over their fear of Agent A?
OOOOOOO
"Phew, that was close, eh Norm? I thought he'd be on to us for sure. It was smart to drop the boys off before we went shopping."
"I told you it was a good idea. I'm just glad you listened to me."
"What are you talking about? It was my idea! I said we needed to hide them somewhere."
"No you didn't, I did. I wish you would give me the credit I deserve."
"Sheesh, I already gave you credit for the Knock-Out-Inator, even though you suggested a knock out ray, which by the way is completely different from an -inator. I'm just surprised that you know, it actually worked. I would have just pushed them into the trunk or something, but this made it much easier. You know, I bet that's what really put me off schedule. I needed extra time to build the second –inator."
"Or it could have been the fact that you insisted on leaving a note made up of magazine clippings. I still don't see why you couldn't just type it out at home then print it out."
"Do you know how expensive printer ink is? Seriously, it's highway robbery! Like it really takes that much money to make it. Octopuses make it for FREE for goodness sake. Price markups, they really give corporations a bad name. Maybe I could make some kind of -inator to get rid of ink corporations. Ooh, I know what scheme we're going to do next! Oh look, we're here now. Let's go wake up our guests."
Desirae: Agent A?
Olivia: Agent Aggie the Arachnid.
Desirae: Is that even a real agent?
Olivia: No I made her up.
Desirae: Right... on another note, no Phineas and Ferb this chapter?
Olivia: They were in the next part of the chapter. I decided I needed to edit it more.
Desirae: Okay then. So people, feel free to review.
