Olivia: Hey everybody! Sorry for the late upload, but I've had a lot on my plate in the past little bit. Nothing serious, just life craziness. Anywho, I'd like to thank all my reviewers: Radar180, Anele1996, Kelly of the midnight dawn, PhoenixWormwood137, NattyMc, thewolfstar, Christian A, DarkChao1663, and DarkHeartInTheSky for reviewing chapter 5, as well as Violaplayer12 for reviewing chapter 1 and Warriorfac335 for reviewing chapter 3. I love an appreciate all my reviews :)

Still Olivia: Anyway, here are Phineas and Ferb as promised! I don't own the show or characters, but that goes without saying. I hope you enjoy!

Phineas woke up in close to total darkness. He couldn't see more than five feet in front of him, not that he could register much anyway. His head was pounding. He pushed himself up and stretched his arms out. His hand hit a metal bar. He ran his hand along and felt more bars, the kind in a jail or a cage.

That's when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He gasped, jumped and spun around, coming face to face with his brother. Phineas sighed in relief and smiled.

"Whoa, you really scared me there, Ferb. Say, do you know where we are or how we got here?" Just then, the lights flicked on and the boys had to squeeze their eyes shut because of the overwhelming brightness.

"I can answer that for you." They turned around to see none other than Dr. Doofenshmirtz walking down a metal staircase on the opposite side of what they now knew was a small room with hardwood floors, a desk off to the side and really outdated wallpaper. Inside the cage itself, there was a small pile of toys and what seemed to be two large cushions from a couch. Dr. Doofenshmirtz smiled happily as he set a bag down on the ground.

"Hey, that was almost perfect timing. You know, I've always seen that in movies and thought, wow, that is totally unrealistic how the person just walks in at just the perfect time and says something cool that fits what was previously being talked about, but it's so awesome when it happens to you. Anyway, I suppose you're wondering why you're here." Phineas thought for a second then remembered.

"Oh yea, you were saying how you needed hostages to keep a secret agent from ruining your plans." Dr. Doofenshmirtz looked crestfallen that he couldn't explain his evil scheme as he had no doubt rehearsed over and over again.

"The word was thwarting, not ruining. Get your facts straight. Now, I need to explain a few more things to you before we can go on with the rest of this scheme. You see the cage you're in? Well, it may look like just an ordinary giant cage with a door and lock, and that's because it is. But attached to the cage, see right here beside the door off to the left, is a self destruct box, which I can detonate with this button and blow the cage across the entire Tri-State Area!" He pulled a metal rectangle with a large red button on it out of his pocket.

"Also, you can detonate it if you try to pick the lock, you see cause it's wired through here. Well, no, I guess you can't see because the wires are in the bars and such. So there's no escape! Pretty impressive, right?" Phineas nodded and laughed nervously.

"Uh, yes, yes it is. Wow, you, eh heh, you really know how to trap people." Dr. Doofenshmirtz shrugged his shoulders.

"Meh, I've had enough time to practice with my nemesis. I trap him all the time, but he always has some kind of trick or gadget to get himself out. You boys don't have any tricks or gadgets, do you?"

"Well Ferb has been practicing his magic act." Ferb pulled out a deck of cards, showed them to Dr. Doofenshmirtz, and made them disappear in his hand. Then he snapped his fingers and reached behind Phineas' ear and pulled out a toy rabbit with the ace of hearts in it's paws. Dr. Doofenshmirtz gasped and pointed.

"Hey, that was my card!" Ferb snapped his fingers again and the rabbit vanished in a puff of smoke and appeared back in the pile of toys in a second puff of smoke. He bowed as Dr. Doofenshmirtz clapped. Phineas nodded and shrugged.

"Other than that, I don't think we have any tricks that can get us out of here. And even if we did, why would we tell you?" Dr. Doofenshmirtz paused and thought for a second.

"I suppose you have a point. Meh, I'll take my chances. You're just two kids, what could you possibly do? Okay, well now that we've gotten past that awkward getting-to-know-each-other-and-learn-my-scheme part, I took the liberty of getting you these." He reached into the bag, pulled out a couple boxes and slid them through the bars to the boys.

"Here, delicious, sugar encrusted cereal. Now, I thought it looked a little girly in the store but the box says 'Number One Kids Favourite' on it. So I thought, why not? You need to eat, right? Right. Oh and you'll notice there in the corner there are an assortment of toys. Let's see, there's marbles, a broomstick horse, a couple spinning tops, that little toy rabbit you found, and a cute cuddly teddy bear. So, yea. Enjoy!" There was a silence as the two parties stared at each other. Dr. Doofenshmirtz rubbed the back of his neck.

"We're not past the awkward part are we?" Phineas shook his head.

"Not until you disable the self destruct box and set us free, and even then it would still be kind of awkward." Dr. Doofenshmirtz blinked then turned around, making his way to the stairs.

"I think I like it better when the trapped keep their traps shut. That way they can't talk back like that. Well boys, see ya later! I've got some evil scientist things I have to take care of." Phineas held up his hands.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up! You're an evil scientist? Oh, now that makes much more sense. I was wondering why a pharmacist would do something like this." Dr. Doofenshmirtz stopped walking and laughed.

"Yea, people get confused by the lab coat."

"So, uh, I'm guessing you're into that whole 'take over the world' bit. How's that working out for you?" Dr. Doofenshmirtz leaned on the railing casually.

"Actually right now it's just the Tri-State Area, but- wait, don't distract me! I'm not letting you out till I've thwarted my nemesis' plan to thwart me. So nice try! Now, I've got important evil related things to get back to, so I'll see you boys later. Doof is out!" He slammed and locked the door behind him, leaving the boys alone. Phineas turned to Ferb quickly.

"Well, we may not have any tricks that could get us out of here, but do we have any gadgets?" Ferb thought for a second, then reached into his pockets and fished out a pack of regular gum, a screwdriver, the pack of cards, a few paper clips, and a handkerchief. Phineas scratched his head.

"Hmm, not a lot to work with, and neither one of us seems to have our phones. Well Ferb, I know what we're going to do today."

Desirae: You started without me?

Olivia: Sorry, but I wanted to post this now.

Desirae: Whatever... wait, am I reading this right? They do a magic trick? I don't see how that fits. I mean, they were just kidnapped, so why would they do a magic trick? And they're taking this whole thing pretty lightly too.

Olivia: I don't think so. When they were on board Mitch's ship in The Chronicles of Meap they took the whole prisoner thing surprisingly well. As for the magic trick, I liked that part and I didn't want to delete it.

Desirae: Well, yea, but Mitch didn't threaten to blow them up. And that's pretty well thought out of Doof isn't it? He doesn't always plan ahead well.

Olivia: Oh, go to the mall Des!

Desirae: ...

Olivia: ... sorry.

Desirae: ... I don't even know how to react to that. Anyway, please review people!
