Wazz up! I'm trying out the dang street language, dangit! It isn't... going too well... Also, a new quote, again cyber-brownies for whoever can guess this. "Have you ever heard a sea monkey scream chief? It's a high pitched almost... annoying sound. So chief, 970 sea monkeys go into the water, none come out. June 3, 1997. And that's why they call me Betty." Roll film!

"The screams was the only thing I hear. I didn't hear (or feel) the sparks. I didn't hear my hands typing at a rapid pace. And above all, I didn't hear Phineas yelling at me. I could only hear the screams of my friends falling to their doom. In the first ten seconds of typing, I realized that any perfect landings, or shutting down the system wouldn't work very well. So instead, I did the next best thing. Make them land alive. *clack clack click.*

Well, here goes nothing. Pressing the enter code, the machine zapped and sparked, but slowly the desired shape formed. They fell on the giant mattress, not as soft as I would have liked. Their were several sickening cracks and many shouts of pain. The machine spluttered one last time, before it fizzled out, causing the false-Paris to fade, being replaced by the grey walls. The last thing that faded was the mattress, fading slowly so the top slowly fell to the floor, as if it was being eaten by the ground. The unconcious group was deposited on the ground. I ran into the machine, checking heartbeats.

Meap's was strong. Of course, as I saw, his helmet didn't fair as well. Apparently he landed helmet first. Upon closer inspection, little airbags were in it, which probably helped Meap through this. Double 0-0 was actually lowered down on rocket boots, and was thus perfectly fine. Same went for Peter the Panda, except he had a grappling hook. Double 0-0 was on the phone with the hospital. Vanessa had blood covering her. On her back. I felt like I was going to throw up when I saw the familiar green hair sticking out from underneath her.

I felt sick. I couldn't handle it. I was sobbing and heaving. And as if that wasn't enough, Phineas appeared behind me, taking in the scene. At this point I was laughing hysterically, which is something I do under tons of stress (Did I say that already?). Phineas then turned on me, yelling.

" 'You killed him!' " Doof gaped as he heard this. Perry dabbed at a tear at his eye. "Then he gave me this." Smiles parted the hair that had covered his right eye the whole time. They all gaped. Smiles was sporting a real shiner of a black eye. He had several smaller bruises all over his cheeks, as well as many more scratch marks. His cheeks were stained red, probably from where blood had trickled freely from his mouth.

"He leapt upon me, hands flailing. I couldn't even feel the blows by this point. If Peter and 0-0 weren't there. I'm not sure that I'd be here any more." Smiles said sadly. "Oh yeah. I checked on them. All of them are alive. Vanessa's got a broken arm. Ferb's got both his legs, a few ribs, an a fractured skull. Candace broke her ankle, of all things. I don't know about the rest. I was chased out by an enraged Phineas before I could check. Come. I'll... show you where they're at." He gestured for them to follow. The two nemises and the giant robot glance at each other, before following behind the ex-villain.

"Norm! Car form!" Doof yelled, the robot quickly shifting into a car.

"Umm... wouldn't a jet be faster?" Smiles asked.

"What are you talking about?" Doof asked.

"Did you not read his manual?" Smiles asked, holding up a manual that read 'Norm' on the cover. Doof chuckled nervously, scratching the back of his head. "Norm, jet form!"

"Okey-dokey!" Norm replied cheerfully, shifting into a plane, his rocket shoes changing into a pair of thrusters.

"Danville Hospital, Norm! Woohoo! Team Doofenshmirtz ho!" The glances from the other two in the jet made him stop. "What? Like I'd let you name the team, Organization Without a Cool Acronym." Ignoring Doof, Norm lifted off, heading over to the hospital.

Isabella

What happened? It is so calm... so quiet... so dark... Oh! A light! Perhaps that is the way out? She crawled forward, unsure of what she was doing. She peeked out of the cave exit. There was what appeared to be a one-eyed girl, covered in bright blue sparks which pulled her to an old cabin with a trickling stream next to it.

"Yen? Why is the river so high on your side?" The girl asked, staring at the cabin.

"It is the river of purity. The lower the river, the less the purity." The girl glanced down at the trickle of a stream. "When the river runs dry, then the angels come down... and Judgement Day begins." The girl reached out and grabbed the door knob and turned, the darkness inside leapt out and pulled her inside. There was a small sign over it that read 'Gloomsville' in messy letters, painted red.

"You let her choose?" A booming voice asked Yen.

"Yes."

"What about The Shadow? Why not tell her about that?"

"She'll find out... soon enough." Yen turned to where I was hiding, then to several other large places, boulders and trees. "You can all come out now!" I cautiously stepped out of my hiding place, among the clearing several other figures stepped out of hiding. Ferb, Vanessa, Gretchen, Candace, Jeremy, Baljeat, Buford, Katie, Adyson, Ginger, Django, and Meap.

"If y'all don't mind I'd like to ask you a few questions." Meap said in a southern drawl.

"What is that thing?" Django asked.

"That's Meap. Phineas helped repair his ship once." I filled him in.

"Figures Dinna Bell would befriend a cowboy alien." Buford said haughtily.

"Well, I beg your pardon, but that rascal Mitch has my universal mustache translator." I freeze up, remembering what happened to Mitch.

"Hey Meap. I don't think you'll be getting that translator back anytime soon." Meap glanced over at her.

"What do you mean?" He asked. I let out a loud sigh.

"It was about a month ago... things happened... Phineas was captured while trying to rescue me. Long story, okay, and one I'd love to put behind me. Anyway, Phineas basically took out most of his little droids, and then turned and attacked Mitch himself. In the end, Mitch picked up a blaster-"

"Aww, yes. Mitch is... was always a bad shot." He said.

"Ahem." The blond boy cleared his throat, grabbing our attention. "You do have a time limit. What you are is not your physical bodies , these are astral projections. Basically, your souls are now between the world of the living-" Here he gestures to the shack. "And the dead." He gestures to a huge white mansion.

"Why are we here?" Baljeat asked.

"For a choice."

"A choice?" Ginger asked.

"As I speak, your bodies die. Without a soul to guide it, you will most definitely die. You are ones of few. You have a choice." Yen eplained.

"Between life and death? See you later dead dude!" Buford said, running through the old cabin door. The scream that came out was loud and blood curdling.

"There is a catch. You will go from death to alive fast, so it causes an intense amount of pain. You'll get back to the world of the living, and most likely live, but the pain will be great." Yen continued.

"What is that Shadow that you talked about?" I asked.

"...You'll learn in due time." Yen replied. He started pushing us towards the door, stopping at the river. "This is as far as I can make you go." Everyone after a little hesitation, jumped in, all except me. I stared at the door. "Can I help you?"

"Yeah. Phineas. How-How'd he take it."

"Not very good. I'm quite surprised that he just stood there and took it. You also owe your thanks to these two." He handed me two photos, one of a panda and the other of a british man in a suit. Underneath was written Peter the Panda and Agent 0-0.

"Why?"

"They pulled him off of Smiles. He was going to *clears throat* avenge your death. By... killing your *Clears throat again* 'murderer.' " I stared aghast at the door. I tentavily stepped through the door, and my body erupted in fiery pain.

Vanessa

"NO! I am her father! You will let me through!" That is the first words I hear as soon as the pain subsided.

"D-dad?" I call weakly. Dad ran in, and to my surprise, flanked by Smiles, Perry, and Norm, who was currently holding a doctor in a strangle hold. Smiles, catching my gaze, turns and sees Norm.

"Norm! No! We do not grab doctors! Put him down! Down! No not up! On the ground." Smiles scolded. Norm dropped the doctor on the floor, who scrambled to his feet, clutching his clipboard as if it was a weapon against the giant robot man before him.

"Hey sis." He said, his robotic smile flipping over to a frown.

"Hey bro." I laugh.

"I'm... I'm sorry Vanessa. I never wanted any of this to happen." Smiles said, stepping closer, ever slowly, as if I'd try to bite his head off if he got too close.

"Hey, we all make mistakes. My dad more often than others." I say, laughing at his protests. Smiles slipped out of the room, followed by a concerned Perry.

Perry

"You okay?" I chatter. I know that he couldn't understand, but I tried showing that I was there for him.

"How would you feel if you possibly just killed half of your closest friends. Not to mention your friends' girlfriends. Or the girl that you love more than anything in the world." The boy replied, purple eyes filled with tears.

"Well... bad." I chatter. "But... we all make mistakes."

"Mistakes!" He suddenly yelled, glaring at me. "Mistakes! This was a mistake?! Then what would an accident be?! What would a slaughter be?! I sure am glad that this is just a mistake!" He yelled at me, flinching from his harsh words. Smiles sighed heavily, before slamming his back against the wall and sitting down. I follow suit. "What is it like?"

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"... Being perfect. As far as I see, you haven't caused anyone harm before." I chuckled loudly. "What? You know, laughing at my expense is not exactly a nice thing to do."

"Me? Perfect? You seem to have forgotten the 2nd dimension fiasco. It was all my fault. If I had just foiled Doofenshmirtz. Ah well."

"Yeah, but did anybody end up in the hospital?"

"No." I admit. "But there were many chances that my boys could have been killed. I wouldn't be able to handle it if they died, let alone cause of me." He laughed.

"Well, maybe that's true. Speaking of the boys, perhaps you should pay 'em a visit. I believe Ferb's room was just down the hall. Of all the blatant things they've done, they've put Isabella and Ferb in the same room. Why?" He starts walking off. "Isn't putting a boy and a girl in the same room of a hospital unsanitary? Isn't it against hospital rules? Hmm... maybe-"

He had gotten too far by this point, and I couldn't hear him anymore. He stopped, back tracked over to me. "Oh yeah. Give ths to Ferb when he wakes up." He hands me a small card that read 'For Ferb.' He left, continuing his rant about how boys and girls shouldn't be in the same hospital rooms. He was out of ear shot quickly, good thing too, cause I could only listen to one major ramble a day, and Doof had already done two. I stop, thoughts whirling in my head. Did Smiles just...? No. No, that's-that's impossible... Right? I hear Phineas's shouts of joy in the other room, so I walk in.

"I'm not done with you, Smiles" I chatter to myself.

Adyson

"Uggh." Whose voice was that? Oh... that's mine. I feel like I had just been on the wrongside of Phineas's rocket. I try opening my eyes, but it is like they weigh a ton. I couldn't feel my right leg, or my right arm. I just settled for moaning. I hear the door open, a gasp, and the sound of someone running.

"Ady? Are you okay?" Smiles? What was he doing here?

"Smiles." I groan out.

"I'm here."

"I-I-" I try to say.

"Yes?" He asks.

"I-I-I-" No! What was happening?

"Ady? Are you okay?"

"I-I-I-I-" No. No. I knew this feeling. Spit it out Sweetwater! "I-I-I-lu-lu" No! I'm not ready! Just let me say it!

"I love you." Smiles told me. Something soft brushed against my lips. I realize that he just kissed me. He-He kissed me!

"I l-love yu-you too." I manage a smile. My eyes! I just want to see him one last time. With agonizing slowness, my eyes opened to the world. I saw him, the man I love. But it was not at all like I remember him. He had many cuts all around his body. Several large bruises and his shirt was torn in a few places. He had a big black eye, and his entire eye refuse to open. His hair was wilted, as if it was a plant with little water, and it lost its usual sheen. "Wh-what happened." I don't care how much it pained me to talk.

"I tripped and landed facefirst on a rock." He lied. He unknowingly was scratching his shoulder.

"Tell me what really happened." He let out a huge sigh.

"Phineas... was enraged by a sight so horrible... Vanessa was laying on a pool of blood... and Ferb's hand was sticking out underneath her." I let out a gasp. Then, something came over me. Blind rage, fury, and above all disgust.

"You!" I yell, finding my voice. "You're a monster! Get out! Out!" There was the sound of scurrying, and a door slamming. There was that feeling again... I guess... I am pulled out of the real world, my eyelids falling.

Phineas

*Nrrrrk* I turn to see Perry walk into the room.

"Oh. There you are Perry." I joke.

*Nrrrrk.* He points to me.

"Oh, the shout? That was cause Isa had finally woken up." I point to the bed, where Isa was drinking a glass of water, rather slowly. Isabella tried making another noise, but frowned when it came out as a gargle. She continued to drink the water. Now, Ferb started to stir. I let out another shout of joy and run over to Ferb's bedside. His stepbrother opened his eyes, he moaned and clutched his chest. Perry walked over and put a piece of paper in his hands.

"What's this?" Ferb wheezed. He opened it up and started reading with a small smile on his face. His smile was soon replaced by a frown. His eyes widened and his pupils dilated. Then, to my great surprise, he tried getting up.

"Ferb! Stop! You'll hurt yourself!" I say, pushing him back onto the bed, causing him to struggle.

"Perry!" Ferb wheezed, tossing the paper to our platypus. "You'll have to stop him!" Perry's eyes ran over the page, his eyes widened, and then he ran out the door. In a room close to ours, their is the sound of chattering and the crinkling of paper, followed by a shout from Doofenshmirtz. Out of the window, I saw Doofenshmirtz an Perry in Norm, except Norm was now a jet, and they were heading out to downtown.

"Phineas. I need a favor from you." Ferb's voice rasped.

What was on the note that Smiles gave Perry? Let's find out... Next time! Ahahahahahaha! Don't you hate cliffhangers? ~Lichylichy.
