Part II

After injecting himself with the cutonium, Mitch's big dark ominous cloud that covered his fortress grew bigger and surrounded the entire planet; turning the once pink and colorful planet into a dark and gloomy place. Instead of rainbows and flowers, came a mist of fog and more dark clouds that shot lightning bolts, along with rumbling thunder.

All of the Meapians fell unto Mitch's control and leadership. The army was scattering all about, carrying their new leader's throne to his fortress, and gathering the ingredients that Mitch needed for his potion.

The robot henchmen guarded the doorway to the fortress, along with the door to the laboratory to make sure no unaffected-being could get past them.

Mitch stayed behind in the laboratory. That way he could keep Phineas under his control, as long as the latter kept staring at his cuteness.

"This is it, henchmen!" Mitch told some of his androids. "Once the army gets back, I'll get to the business of making that Life Potion, to give to this boy."

He pointed to Phineas, who stayed sitting in his chair. He did absolutely nothing but stare at the alien with dilated pupils in his eyes. The boy seemed to have forgotten a lot, and was completely unaware of Mitch's plan to steal his life.

"As long as he remains under my control..." Mitch smiled adoringly at Phineas as he said this.

"Aww, look at the little guy," Phineas moaned, admiringly. "What's the fastest way I can transfer all my assets into his name?"


As for Candace and Meap, they continued crawling through the vent. They were now wearing helmets for protection.

Candace was starting to get a little restless. "Is it just me, or does this vent seem to be getting smaller?" she asked. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a small flashlight. She switched it on, and shone it down the shaft. "Come to the mall with me, Candace, and have a few laughs," she said, sarcastically. "I could've been at the mall with Stacy doing cool things and be staring at Jeremy making slushy dogs. But am I? No! Instead, I'm here in outer space, trying to save my brother's life from an alien who wants to be the cutest thing ever with permanent immortality!"

"Candace! Would you calm down?!" whispered Meap.

"Calm down?" Candace stared down at him, and began to fret. "Calm down?! H-h-how can I calm down when my brother's life is about to be stolen by some evil maniac?! I'm sure Phineas is back in a cute trance, by now. And he's not even realizing Mitch's plan for himself! You know, everyday's always a thrill, and I've spent the majority of my life trying to bust my brothers for everything they do! But now, I've just accepted this after Phineas and I switched bodies! Do I ever get to do normal teenage things? Can't there just be ONE DAY WHERE EVERYTHING IS NORMAL WITH NORMAL DAY PROBLEMS?! OF COURSE NOT!I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!"

Meap tried to speak, but Candace's fussing kept cutting him off. Finally, the teenage girl's tantrum caused the little alien to snap furiously. "Oh, get a hold of yourself!" He slapped her across the face to make her stop. Candace immediately stopped complaining, and went silent. She touched the cheek that Meap struck in utter shock.

"Now you listen to me, young lady," Meap said firmly. "I promise you, we will save your brother and stop Mitch from taking over the universe."

"Y-You're right. I-I-I'm sorry," stuttered Candace. "I'm just so worried about Phineas, right now. I can't believe that Mitch would do such a thing to him." She shedded a single tear.

Mitch patted her on the arm to console her. "I know you're scared, Candace. But don't worry," he reassured. "Mitch hasn't even got the ingredients for that potion yet, and I assure you he is not going to take Phineas' life away just for immortal cuteness."

Candace sadly looked at Meap, now on the brink of tears. "How are you so sure?" She squeaked.

"You're just going to have to trust me. Take a deep breath."

Candace closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, she pulled herself together after that. "Okay. I'm ready to go on with this rescue mission."

"Okay," said Meap. "Now, you remember what I told you about cutonium, and the inability to resist the cuteness of whoever takes it, do you?"

Candace nodded. "Yes, I remember. Don't look upon Mitch in his cute state, or he'll gain control over me."

"Good." Meap reached for something. He took out some mirrors. "Then, take this. You're going to need it."

"Thanks," Candace took one of the mirrors.

She and the alien kept crawling through the vent to find the laboratory.


Meanwhile, back on Earth in the Flynn-Fletcher backyard, Ferb and Isabella had finished upgrading Meap's ship.

"That should do it!" said Isabella. "The ship is finished!" Her smile faded. "But now we've got another big problem... Where are we gonna find Pizzazium Infinionite? The element is so rare and hard to find! How will we ever be able to find it in time? There's gotta be somebody in Danville who knows where to find it!"

Ferb tried to remember where the most rare places Pizzazium Infinionite could be found. Then, he snapped his fingers once it hit him. "I just remembered!" Ferb said. "I helped Vanessa Doofenshmirtz look for one at the Mega SuperStore, last summer. She said her dad needed it for something. Maybe he'll know where we can find it!"

"Oh yeah! I remember Dr. Doofenshmirtz!" Isabella remembered as well. "Let's go!"

Ferb and Isabella took the bus and arrived in no time at Doofenshmirtz's Evil Incorporated building. Or D.E.I for short. Except, the word "evil" was removed, now reading "Doofenshmirtz Incorporated".

Ferb and Isabella stepped off the bus, and looked up at the tall building. Then, a sudden musical jingle played out of nowhere.

"Non-Evil Jingle"

(The Slacks)
"Doofenshmirtz Mmm-Mmm Incorporated!"

"Where did that music come from?" asked Isabella.

Ferb shrugged.

Then, the two went inside. After getting Dr. Doofenshmirtz's floor and door number, they stepped into the elevator.

They arrived at the top floor of the building, and both went up to Dr. Doofenshmirtz's door. Ferb rang the doorbell, which seemed to play an instrumental version of the jingle they just heard outside.

"Hmm. I guess he must really have a thing for a little jingle," said Ferb.

"I guess," Isabella said, before turning back to knock on the door. "Dr. Doofenshmirtz?" She called. "Dr. Doofenshmirtz, are you home? We need to talk to you!"

Suddenly, they were scooped up in a net, and brought inside the room.

Isabella screamed.

A figure stepped out of the shadows, and revealed himself in the light.

It was Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz.

He walked towards the net hanging from the ceiling. "Wait a second!" He pointed at the kids, confused. "You're not the pizza delivery guy. This is my pizza delivery guy trap."

Ferb grunted as he and Isabella tried to get out of the tight net.

Vanessa, his teenage daughter, came out next to him, and looked into the net. Then, she recognized one of the kids. "Ferb?" She asked.

"Vanessa?" Ferb looked up. Once he came face-to-face with Vanessa, he visioned a pink background behind her, and flowers floating by as fantasized music played.

"Hold on! You know this kid, Vanessa?" asked Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

"Don't you remember Ferb, Dad?"

"You have a lot of friends, sweetie. How am I supposed to keep track?"

"Well, remember you met Ferb in Paris, and when your clones took over the town, he and his friends helped us to stop them."

"Ohhh, yeah! Now I remember. Sorry, a lot has happened since then and I forgot."

"Would you let us down, please?" asked Isabella.

"Put them down," Vanessa told her father.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz went over to his desk, and pressed a big red button.

Ferb and Isabella came tumbling down to the ground.

"Oh!" Vanessa went over to help them up. "I am so sorry. Are you okay?"

Ferb responded by giving her a thumbs up.

Isabella rubbed her head. "Yeah, I'm okay," she replied.

The three all glared at Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

"Sorry about that kids," Dr. Doofenshmirtz apologized, through a sheepish grin. "I still have a feud going on with the pizza delivery guy, so that's why I set up that trap. Anyway, what are you doing here?"

"We recently upgraded a friend's spaceship," Isabella explained. "And now we need a power source. We need Pizzazium Infinionite. We know, the element is so rare and hard to find, but we need it! Ferb said you were trying to get one at the Mega SuperStore last summer. Would you happen to know where we can find it?"

"Well, it's fortunate for you, I actually have a container filled with pure Pizzazium Infinionite in my laboratory," explained Dr. Doofenshmirtz. He pointed to a large container with a bright green glow inside it. "It's a funny story of how I got it, actually. Would you like to hear it?" He asked.

"Well, actually-" Isabella started to say.

"Great! Backstory!" exclaimed Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

(Flashback)

(Doofenshmirtz; voiceover)

"It started not long after I was, uh, mistaken for shoplifting at the Mega SuperStore last summer. The container was taken into police custody and I wouldn't be able to get it. So I started looking for other methods to get the container back. My first option was to turn all the cops in the police station into a bunch of crying babies! You know, like you do. But I already dismantled the Babe-Inator, so that wouldn't work. I then thought of using the old Shrink-Inator to miniaturize the police station so I could just pull it right out with tweezers, you know, like with tiny ships in glass bottles. But then again, the last time I used tweezers with a ship in a bottle, my finger got stuck and I had to go to hospital and-"

"Dad!" Vanessa cut him off. "They don't have time for one of your flashback stories!"

"Right, right, right! Sorry." Dr. Doofenshmirtz apologized. "Anyway, to make it long-backstory-short."

(Flashback)

(Doofenshmirtz; voiceover)

"Not long after my Sandwich-Suit-Removinator crashed into the Danville Glacier, which is another long backstory, but I'll get to the point. Archaeologists discovered an entire cave system filled with Pizzazium. Apparently a rogue fortune hunter hid his lot of the stuff underneath the town so no one would find it. So I snuck down there and gathered it all in my Pizzazium container unit. I was going to use it in one of my schemes to take over the Tri-State Area. But in all honesty, I completely forgot all about it after I turned over a new leaf and stopped being evil."

"That's okay," Isabella interrupted. "If it's alright with you, Ferb and I need the Pizzazium Infinionite."

Dr. Doofenshmirtz looked confused. "You need the Pizzazium Infinionite?"

"Please! You have to let us take that Pizzazium Infinionite!" pleaded Isabella. "Our friend, Phineas, is in terrible danger! His life is about to be taken away by an evil alien, and we have to stop him before it's too late!"

"Well, I was thinking about using the Pizzazium to make a new invention-" he stopped when he noticed Isabella staring at him with big pleading eyes. Dr. Doofenshmirtz began to mope at the sight of her. "Oh, please don't give me those big pleading eyes." He tried to turn away. Only to look at the glowing container of the Pizzazium Infinionite.

"Dad," Vanessa softly spoke, "you did say you wouldn't make any more inventions that involve evil. Remember?"

"Yes, that is true," said Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

Vanessa looked at Ferb. "...Phineas is in real trouble, isn't he?"

Ferb looked down in shame, and slowly nodded his head.

"Ferb and Isabella seem to need the Pizzazium Infinionite more than you do," Vanessa gently told her father. "I really think you should let them have it."

Dr. Doofenshmirtz paused and sighed. "I'm going to have to do the right thing here, aren't I?" Finally, he said, "Fine. The Pizzazium Infinionite is yours." He picked the container up off the table, and gave it to Ferb. "Here you go."

Isabella looked grateful. "Oh, thank you so much!" She gave Dr. Doofenshmirtz a quick hug before leaving with Ferb. "Bye!"

As the two left, Vanessa smiled at her father. "I'm proud of you, Dad."

Dr. Doofenshmirtz gave a small smile in return. "Thank you, sweetie."

The two of them embraced each other. The moment was nice until a loud noise was heard.

"Here is the delivery of the parts for your next invention, sir," announced Norm. He was carrying a big crate in his arms.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz's eyes widened with shock.

Vanessa immediately broke off the hug, and glared at her father. "Dad...?"

Dr. Doofenshmirtz gritted his teeth sheepishly, and gave a nervous chuckle. "Uhh... I'm not making another invention, Norm. I already told you, I'm done being evil."

"Norm," Vanessa said to the robot, "how long have you and Dad been working on whatever that is?"

"For about a week," answered Norm. "Dr. D had always talked about doing secret inventions without you knowing."

Dr. Doofenshmirtz was making hand gestures to make Norm stop talking. But to no avail. "But, it's not evil!" He quickly cut his robot henchman off. "This new invention I'm creating is specifically for good! I was going to use the Pizzazium Infinionite to make a power reactor to power all of the Tri-State Area on efficient clean energy. But, you're right! I should've told you! From now on, no more hiding secrets from you, Vanessa!"

Vanessa raised one of her eyebrows. "You promise?"

Dr. Doofenshmirtz embraced his daughter again, giving her the biggest hug he had ever given her. "Yes, my baby girl. I promise that for now on, I will tell you what inventions I'll invent and not keep you in the dark. As a matter of fact, Norm! Throw out the rest of those parts! I won't be needing them anymore."

"With pleasure, sir!" Norm chirped with excitement.

The robot walked off to dispose of the parts.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz turned to his daughter. "Now then, would you say we leave and go see a movie? I'll let you buy the popcorn and pick the movie!"

Vanessa smiled, again. "Alright! Just as long as you don't embarrass me."

Dr. Doofenshmirtz grabbed his coat as he and his daughter headed out the door. "I promise you, I won't. You know, if you wanted to, you can also invite your mother, and maybe even my brother, Roger. If he isn't too busy. You know how being Mayor is."

"Sounds like a plan to me!" smiled Vanessa. "I'll call Mom." She grabbed her phone out of her pocket, and dialed her mother's number.

"In the meantime, Norm, make yourself useful and feel free to dismantle and clean up the rest of the old Inators I have around here, while we're out," Dr. Doofenshmirtz instructed Norm.

"It will be my pleasure, sir!" Norm happily replied. "I will make you proud of me. Because I think of you as my fa..."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Dr. Doofenshmirtz interrupted, not even listening to Norm. "Just make sure the place is spotless when we get back."

With that, he and Vanessa walked out the door, and left.

Norm's mouth turned itself around. It went from smiling to frowning as he finished what he was saying. "...ther."


Meanwhile, back on Meap's planet, the Meapians had just finished their scavenger hunt for the ingredients on the list and marched right back inside the fortress.

"Alright!" announced Mitch. "'Tis time!" He marched over to the spell book, and opened it up. He flipped through the pages, until he came to the one with the Life Potion of Immortal Cuteness. He began to read the description aloud. "'A formula to transfer Earthing's life to thee. One sip of this potion, and thy victim's life force will be visible for thou to inhale. As thy victim grows weaker, thou will become stronger. When the aura is extinguished, the victim will die. Their breath will still, their blood will congeal, and you shall remain with immortal cuteness forever'!" He chuckled evilly.

Mitch looked down at the page to the list of ingredients. "Asteroid dust... to keep me cute."

Under Mitch's silent command, one of the Meapians came right over. He brought up a small pot, and poured what looked like a crushed up asteroid into the cauldron of boiling water.

"To improve my clothes... the dark of night."

One Meapian took out a vial, and added one drop of black liquid into the cauldron, turning the water in it black.

"To sweeten my voice... the giggle of a Unifrog-Turelecat."

It was a creature that had the head and horn of a unicorn; the shell of a turtle, the tail of a cat, the front legs of an elephant, and the back legs of a frog. The body was a light periwinkle blue color, while the hair on its head and tail were a darker shade of light blue.

The creature moaned, making Mitch shudder a bit.

"You know, those things are so creepy that I don't think they even need to exist," he admitted. "But, their voices are still said to be the gentlest and sweetest in the universe. But not for long..." he cackled.

Mitch gestured to one of the Meapians holding the creature. One of them tickled the Unifrog-Turelecat, forcing it to laugh.

Then, the Meapian swiped the laugh, and locked it in a round bottom flask. He quickly brought it over to an apparatus, connected to a ring of tubes attached, and placed it over a Bunsen burner. He turned up the burner to a high level, causing the giggle inside to move its way through the glass pipes. The Unifrog-Turelecat's giggle filled the air as it did so.

Another Meapian quickly brought the end of the tube over the cauldron.

The giggle ended up flowing right into the potion, completing its step.

While Mitch was reading to keep the Meapians busy, Candace and Meap had finally made it to the laboratory. Candace quietly opened the crate, and carefully set it aside. She and Meap climbed out onto the platform overlooking the lab.

"To keep me indestructible..." Mitch continued, "add a Minotaur's tooth. Minotaur's tooth, and make it a fresh one!"

"Minotaur's tooth!" One of the brainwashed Meapians cheered gleefully. "Minotaur's tooth, add a Minotaur's tooth!" He chanted in a sing-song-like way.

Meap and Candace peeked over to see what was happening. Some of the Meapians were dancing gleefully around, while one of them studied the Minotaur teeth he collected.

"Fresh one," grinned the Meapian, before tossing it into the cauldron.

Candace spotted Phineas sitting in his chair. While Mitch and the Meapians were busy brewing the potion, he seemed calm and steady.

"Oh no! Phineas!" whispered Candace. "He's not even realizing what's happening to him! He's so oblivious! Just like he still is with Isabella's crush on him!"

"Shhh!" Meap shushed her.

"Sorry!" She apologized.

"Is Mitch in his cute state, again?" asked Meap.

Candace used her mirror to look for Mitch. She discovered him reading the instructions in the spell book. But she quickly looked away from his reflection when he turned around in the mirror, to avoid becoming hypnotized by his cuteness. "Yes!" She quietly answered.

"And last, but certainly not least," Mitch read from the book, "to keep my body stabilized with the different strands of DNA coursing through my veins, five ends of Meapian's tongue. Well army, five of you gather around the cauldron. One more thing, and all ingredients are in. Add a bit of thine own tongue."

Five of the mind-controlled Meapians gathered around. They each took a bite of their tongues, and spit them into the cauldron.

"We have come to the final step!" Mitch pointed to a metal crank table. "Bring it to that table, over there."

The Meapians took the cauldron by each side. They carefully brought it over and placed it on the table.

"Raise it up."

One Meapian cranked a handle, and the table began to rise. It went up, until the cauldron came close enough to an open window.

"A blast of wind..." Mitch announced, "...to fan my hate!"

As he said this, a strong gust of wind came in from outside the window, filling up the entire room.

Candace and Meap held on for dear life. However, the wind was so strong that it blew Meap's mustache off.

"Meap!" He said, once again, losing his ability to talk.

"A thunderbolt!" Mitch added.

A bolt of thunder struck into the cauldron, causing the potion in it to frizz.

"To mix it well..."

The Meapian by the table cranked the handle, bringing it back down.

The army picked up the cauldron, and brought it back over to Mitch.

Looking into the cauldron, Mitch could see the potion boiling and bubbling. "'Tis finished." He gladly announced. "'Tis ready for tasting! Now... begin thy magic spell..."

The Meapians took out a wooden spoon, and dipped it into the potion. They followed Mitch towards the hypnotized Phineas.

"All right, boy," Mitch gently told Phineas. "Open up your mouth."

Phineas obeyed, and let one of the Meapians bring the spoon up to his lips.

"NO!" shouted Candace.

Mitch and Meap's army turned around, and looked up in surprise.

Candace and Meap hastily leapt down from the platform towards them. They both landed on the ground in a superhero-type pose.

"I've always wanted to do that!" squealed Candace.

Mitch angrily pointed at Candace and Meap. "Get them!"

The Meapians charged at them, preparing for battle.

Candace and Meap readied themselves to fight back, while trying to avoid looking at Mitch.

Both groups charged at each other. Candace took down a few of the Meapians, while Meap knocked out a line of them with his fighting skills. Yet, it felt pretty weird for him since he was forced into battling with his own kind.

Mitch suddenly intervened, and fired a purple death ray at his enemy.

Meap quickly fired back with his own rainbow colored death ray.

Both rays fought against each other, but Mitch's proved to be more powerful.

Meap managed to dodge from it, and tried to retreat behind a pillar. But he didn't notice Mitch sneak up behind him. The little pink alien turned around to flee, only to unintentionally come face-to-face with his adorable-looking nemesis.

In only two seconds, Meap became hypnotized by the evil alien's cuteness. He ended up getting thrown back, with his pink helmet being forced off. He did nothing but lay on the floor.

Candace ended up backing into the cauldron. She noticed it, and turned it over, causing some of the potion to spill out.

"Stop her!" The Meapians pointed.

But Candace escaped the army before they could get to her. She immediately began to race over towards Phineas to save him.

"Phineas!" She cried.

She was just about to reach her brother. But Mitch fired his death ray again, blasting her with it.

Candace was jolted back as if she were being electrocuted.

Phineas did nothing but watch. His cute hypnotic trance proved to be so powerful on him, that he failed to even recognize his own sister. "Aww, he's blasting away at her with his really cute death ray," he grinned.

Mitch kept firing at Candace, until she fell to her knees. She was all worn out from the alien's death ray. He shot one more at her in a millisecond.

Finally, Candace fell to the ground, unconscious.

While this was happening, Ferb and Isabella came in from the same vent onto the platform. They peeked over the ledge, and watched in horror.

"I knew it!" Isabella whispered. "I knew Candace and Meap needed our help!"

Ferb loaded the weapon he was carrying, and gave Isabella a slight nod, indicating that he was ready.

One of the Meapians sat up and rubbed its head. He opened his eyes, and smiled a bit. "Master," he said to Mitch, and pointed. "Look..."

Mitch looked over, and smiled with his sharp teeth.

Phineas had ingested some of the potion. Because his life force was now visibly glowing around him.

"It's working!" announced Mitch. "The potion is working! 'Tis his life force! Stand back!" He informed the army. "Here comes the moment we've all been waiting for!"

The Meapians all stood back as Mitch went over to Phineas. Then, the adorable evil alien began to breathe in his life force, inhaling and exhaling from each breath.

"No!" Isabella nearly cried. "We're too late!" She was just about to sob in stress and defeat. But Ferb stopped her by pointing to her. "What? What about me?"

Ferb took out a mirror, and showed Isabella her reflection.

Studying her reflection, she suddenly remembered what Phineas had told her last year during their last battle with Mitch.

Flashback of their Cuteness Battle

The gang was in the middle of their second battle with Mitch during his first search for cutonium. Isabella had managed to snap Phineas out of his cute trance.

As he woke up, Phineas noticed Isabella's black hair briefly swish from side to side when she took off her helmet. "Hey, wait a minute," he realized something. "Isabella! We've had a secret cute weapon all this time! You!"

"Me?" asked Isabella.

"Don't you see? You can take him!" said Phineas. "He's only cute on the outside, but your cuteness goes right to your core!"

Isabella thought for a moment. "So what you're saying is, you think I'm cute?"

"It's a scientific fact," Phineas told her. He picked up the Cute-tracker 2.0 to show her. "I had to put an 8,000-ohm resistor on the cute-tracker just to keep you from burning it out."

Isabella's eyes widened. "Of course!" She realized. "My cuteness is more powerful than all the cutonium in the universe! I was able to defeat Mitch the first time! So, I can do it again! Why didn't I think of this before?! Thank you, Ferb!"

Now getting agitated, Ferb pointed down to the lab.

Mitch was nearly complete in stealing Phineas' life force, as the latter was now beginning to age rapidly.

Isabella gasped. She handed her weapon to Ferb, and got ready to jump down from the vent to the ground floor.

"You can do it, Isabella!" Ferb encouraged her. "Just be yourself!"

Yelling, Isabella immediately jumped off the platform, and landed right behind Mitch. "Hey, Mitch!" She spoke up to him.

Hearing her voice, Mitch stopped before he could finish. Confused, the alien turned around to see who it was.

Isabella looked up at him. Her eyes were dilated like his, and she had on an even cuter smile than his own. She was surrounded by a pink flashing aura. "What'cha doin'?" She asked, sweetly. The last syllable of her favorite catchphrase echoed throughout the laboratory.

Mitch stared at Isabella in horror. "MEEEAAAAAPPPP!" He cried, and ended up getting himself thrown backwards, crashing into the wall. Once he did, all the cutonium in him immediately discharged, reverting Mitch to his original form. "Ow," he groaned, before fainting.

With Mitch knocked out, Isabella immediately rushed over to Phineas, gasping in horror. "Phineas!" She shook him. "Phineas, wake up! What has Mitch done to you! Oh my gosh, Phineas! Please, say something!"

The nearly-aged Phineas simply stared at Isabella, still in his cute trance. Then, the Life Potion began to wear off on him; his life force began to restore him, returning him to his normal younger-self. Finally, his pupils shrunk to normal size and Phineas woke up, free from Mitch's hypnosis.

"Is-Isabella!" He suddenly spoke, as he regained control over his senses. He looked around, now actually realizing that he was in a laboratory. "What's happening?! Wh-where am I?!"

Ferb sprung into action, next. With one kick, he knocked the cauldron over, spilling the entire potion out all over the floor.

"Ferb!" Phineas said to his brother.

With Mitch's cutonium effect gone, the Meap army regained control of themselves. They, too, looked around completely baffled at what was going on.

The planet had also returned to its original state. The misty fog and dark clouds all disappeared, while the rainbows and flowers sprung out, once more.

Meap had also woken up, regaining control over himself, as well. "Meap!" He went over to check on Candace.

The kids looked over, and all gasped upon seeing Candace passed out. The boys and Isabella hastily rushed over.

"Candace?" Phineas spoke to his sister. "Candace, are you okay?!"

Candace slowly opened her eyes, and groaned. "Oww! Those rays really sting... Phineas!" She looked up at Phineas, relieved to see him still alive and free from Mitch's cute control over him.

Mitch suddenly regained consciousness in only a few seconds. He looked up, and gasped before rushing over to the spilled cauldron. Then, he looked at Phineas, to see that he was still alive and the potion had worn off on him. But now, there was none of the potion left.

"My master plan is ruined!" exclaimed Mitch. He glared at the heroes.

"It's over, Mitch!" shouted Isabella. "Your days of becoming the cutest thing in the universe are through! Because you just messed with Team Phineas!"

The Meapians surrounded Mitch, and cuffed him up. They were all angry at him with what he had put them through.

Meap walked up to Mitch, and tore the universal translate mustache off of him. He placed it on his own face. "Ferb and Isabella, you did it!" He gratefully told them. "You saved not only my planet, but the entire galaxy from Mitch's adorable, yet evil, revenge seeking plan! On behalf of my people, I thank you."

"It was our pleasure, Meap," replied Isabella. "So, what happens to Mitch, now?"

"He's going back to prison," said Meap. "And this time, we'll be keeping a close watch on him. A very. Close. Watch." He eyed Mitch, threateningly.

"Meap..." Mitch moaned in disappointment, as the Meap army took him away.

"Guys, how did you... wha..." Phineas started to ask his friends. But he cut himself off, and gazed at them in disbelief and gratitude. "You... came for me?"

"Of course we did," said Isabella.

"You're my brother, Phineas," agreed Candace. "It's my job to protect you." She lovingly embraced Phineas. "When are you gonna learn to do as you're told?" she said, slightly annoyed.

Phineas shamefully looked up at Candace. "I'm really sorry."

The sad expression on her brother's face eventually made Candace smirk. "You really think you can get away with those puppy dog eyes, can you?"

Phineas smiled back. "I love you, guys."

"We love you, too," replied Candace.

Isabella had tears in her eyes.

Ferb gave a thumbs up.

Then, they all embraced in a loving emotional group hug.

Meap watched in admirement. "My friends," he spoke, "in return for saving my planet and the entire galaxy. Why don't we all go celebrate?"

"Oh, yes!" exclaimed Phineas. "How about we go to our Shooting Star Milkshake Bar? They make the best milkshakes in the galaxy."


The five heroes all went to Shooting Star MilkShake Bar to celebrate their victory.

Rock type music was playing, and different kinds of aliens were dancing around. Three aliens stood on a stage and were singing to the audience.

"Shooting Star Milkshake Bar"

(Alien Chorus)
"Yeah!

There's a jumpin' little rock in the outer spiral arm,
May not be pretty, but it's got a lotta charm,
It's the shooting star milkshake bar, yeah,

It's not a nebula; it's not a quasar,
It's the shooting star milkshake bar,
At the speed of light, you know you're never too far,
From the meatiest meteor that you'll ever find,
In this big ol' galactic void,

You got to shake, shake, shake, shake your asteroid,
Shake, shake, shake, shake your asteroid."

The music continued to play while Candace, Ferb, and Isabella sat at the bar, sipping on their shakes.

"Well Ferb, Isabella," Candace said to them, "looks like I owe you two an apology. Meap and I did need your help, after all."

"It's okay, Candace," said Ferb. "We knew you needed it, anyway."

"If I may ask, how did you manage to get there in time?" Candace wondered.

"We upgraded Meap's ship with Pizzazium Infinionite," explained Isabella. "We got it from Vanessa's dad."

"Really?" asked Candace. "Did Vanessa happen to say anything about our movie marathon night? We agreed to watch the entire Grievance trilogy. Since I introduced her to Ducky Momo, she said she would show me the Grievance movies. Even though she told me that the fourth movie isn't really canon."

Before Isabella could respond, Meap walked up to the group.

"Alright, my friends. Everything is set up outside," he said. "I uh... I asked the Meapians to load up your ship with gifts and technology from our planet as a thanks for stopping Mitch."

"Thank you so much, Meap," said Isabella.

"It's the least we can do. Also, Isabella, some of our leaders want to take your picture to add to the history archives," Meap added. "It was your cuteness that was able to overpower the cutonium. That is such a historical moment to be remembered!"

"Of course, Meap. I'd be happy too!" said Isabella. She leapt off the bar stool and walked outside.

Once she was out of earshot, Meap turned back to Candace and Ferb.

"Did I sound convincing enough?" He asked.

"Yes. Yes you did," smiled Candace. "I almost believed you for a second there. Now, let's give Isabella and Phineas some actual alone time."

Ferb stood up and walked over to where Phineas was.

Phineas was over on the other side of the bar, chatting with the former owner, the purple four-eyed alien. He had continued to run the bar after Phineas and Ferb went back to Earth.

"Oh, hey Ferb." greeted Phineas.

Ferb pointed outside the window.

"You want me to go outside?" asked Phineas, understanding what Ferb meant. "Whatever for?"

Before Ferb could answer, Phineas saw a shooting star fly by.

"Oh cool! A shooting star!" He exclaimed, excitedly. "I wonder if it's Kermillian's Comet. It may only visit Earth every 73½ years, but that doesn't mean you can see it this deep in space."

Phineas got up and headed outside. When he did, he spotted Isabella getting her picture taken by the Meapians.

"Thank you so much, guys!" said Isabella. She walked away from the Meapians, and saw Phineas. "Oh, hey Phineas. What'cha doin'?" she asked with her signature line.

"Watching those shooting stars," he replied. "Would you like to watch them with me? If that's cool with you."

Isabella grinned with excitement. "Watch shooting stars?! With you?!" she squealed with excitement, until she slapped herself in the face to stop. "Yes. Very cool." She said, normally.

Phineas and Isabella walked over to a small hill and sat down together. They watched the galaxy above, where the shooting stars flowed by.

"Ahh, this is nice," complimented Phineas.

"Yes. Yes it is," agreed Isabella.

Another thought came to Phineas. "Isabella?" He turned to face her.

"Yes, Phineas?" Isabella looked at him.

Phineas didn't know what to say, at first. Finally, he told her, "That was the bravest thing you ever did for me, today. And, I'll never forget it as long as I live. You really saved my life. I... I don't even know how to thank you."

Isabella blushed.


Back at D.E.I., Norm had just finished dismantling and cleaning up, while Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Vanessa were still out. He was wearing a white maid's cleaning apron and hair cap.

"There! The place is all clean!" He announced. "Father will be so proud of me." He then noticed his boss's old Forget-About-It-Inator in the corner. "Oopsies! I almost forgot one!"

Norm went to grab the Forget-About-It-Inator. But the way he placed his hand on the device, the Inator activated itself and a beam flew outside the building, leaving a hole in the ceiling.

"Oh dear," said Norm. "I hope that beam doesn't hit anything important."

The beam shot through the sky above Danville, bounced off a satellite, and went into deep space.


Phineas and Isabella were still watching the shooting stars flying by.

Wow, Phineas said he really owes his life to me, Isabella thought to herself. And he doesn't even know how to thank me for it. I think I might know. I think it's time to just tell him your feelings. Okay, Isabella. This is it. Now's the time to tell Phineas how you really feel.

"Hey, Phineas?" Isabella said.

"Yeah?" responded Phineas.

"There's something I've been wanting you to know for a long time."

"What's that?"

Isabella opened her mouth, but hesitated for a second. "Spending time with you... over the course of the past summers... have been really fun."

"Yes," he replied. "Yes it has."

"Phineas, I... will you please listen to me?"

Phineas turned his full attention towards Isabella. "What is it?"

"I-I-I..." Isabella inhaled quickly before saying. "I like you!"

"I like you too, Isabella."

"No. I mean, I like-you, like you."

"Really?" Phineas blinked in surprise. "Wow. I mean, uh, gosh, I... I've always felt, well..." he blushed, "...amazing whenever you are around."

Isabella grinned from ear-to-ear. "Really? You mean it?"

"Of course! I mean, we've known each other for years, and it wasn't until the entire summer last year that I realized you were..." he took his turn to hesitate of what he was about to say, "...the most adorable and kindest girl I've ever known."

Isabella smiled and squealed excitedly. The ends of her mouth were almost touching her ears, and her eyes were probably twice their size. Her lifetime accomplishment was finally being fulfilled.

"All these years of hanging out with you and I never once realized how cute you were!" exclaimed Phineas. "How come you never told me before?"

Isabella bit her lip. "I wanted to," she responded. "But you never seemed to notice, or even realize it."

Phineas' eyes widened with shock. He didn't know how to respond. "Was I really? Well, if there's anything I can do to make it up to you after all these years, now's the time to ask."

"I think I might know one way."

Very slowly, Phineas and Isabella began to lean in. They closed their eyes, and their lips touched. Their first kiss.

Two meteors crashed into each other in the sky, causing them to explode like fireworks.

Isabella and Phineas were enjoying the moment. At long last, their lifelong dreams were beginning to fulfill.

Unfortunately, the moment didn't last long. A bright green laser ray appeared out of nowhere and zapped Isabella and Phineas just as they finished their kiss. They stared at each other with confusion.

Phineas blinked, confused. "What just happened? What are we doing out here?" He asked.

"I don't... know," Isabella responded, also confused.
