2nd Dimension, Resistance Base.
Isabella-2 was looking at her counterpart, curiosity in her eyes. "So... this is how I wear in your dimension?" She finally got her words to say.
"Yeah?"
"Well, it does make sense why your Candace said I was 'suddenly' fashionable." Isabella-2 said, using air quotes for suddenly.
"Wait what?!" Isabella gasped and then came to Candace, smacking her on her head.
"OW! What was that for?!"
"What do you mean 'suddenly'?" Isabella growled, before turning back to continue her talk with her counterpart.
"So... when had you and your Phineas ever met?" Isabella-2 asked.
"Oh, it was when we were 4..." Isabella smiled as she began to explain her story with a constant blush. Her counterpart, meanwhile, was surprised and touched at the story, and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel ashamed that she didn't met her Phineas sooner or the fact she actually tied them up when they met first (sure, it was her habit kicking in, but still). For some reasons she began to be afraid to tell this experience, "Did he do a lot of things for you?"
"Well... he built a haunted house to help me cure my hiccups, a bio-sphere to help me collect the patches..." Isabella began to count the countless times she and Phineas had together. However, despite these memories, the past brought her more pain when Phineas constantly ignored her feelings no matter how obvious she showed. Sure, they just got together, but now they are dragged on an adventure now, who knows what will happen?
Maybe it was unwise to say this out.
"Yeah, he really did a lot for me." She said half-truthfully. At the same time both Pinky and Pinky-2 arrived to their owners. Isabella was rather shocked to see her dog's counterpart being a cyborg.
"I... is this your Pinky?" She asked with shock. She did remember that the other-dimension Perry was being made into a mind-controlled cyborg.
"He is." Her counterpart sighed, "Turns out, just like our Perry, our Pinky was transformed into a cyborg and mental slave under Doofenshmirtz." A few tears came out of her eyes as the cyborg chihuahua came to her, "I have lost him for a long time, and cyborg or not, I'm happy to have him back now."
Both Isabella and Pinky looked at each other in shock and sadness. At the same time, Pinky suddenly realized one thing. If his counterpart used to be a cyborg slave of Doofenshmirtz-2's, then could that mean every OWCA agent from this dimension...
Pinky shivered and growled in anger, if what he thought was true, then the other Doofenshmirtz is going to have a lot to pay.
He needs to inform this to Perry and Peter, and if necessary, the whole OWCA division.
"Well, have you done staring?" Buford crossed his arms as his counterpart stared at him.
"No one tells Buford what should I do, Buford resists everything."
"Wow, I love your style." The bully smirked at his counterpart "Are you thinking about what am I thinking?"
"Yeah!"
"Arm wrestling!" Both Bufords began their activity as Buford continued, "So, have you treated your nerd properly?"
"Well, most of the time I resisted his experiments." Buford-2 said.
"That's it?" Buford asked, "Nothing else? Meh, you need to learn some tricks to put him at his place. I'd recommend you to do a wedgie on him."
"I'm interested. Say you want some nachos?"
Baljeet gulped as he saw his bully and his counterpart talking, for some reasons, he felt that it would be something towards him... AND his counterpart.
"What are you worried about?" Baljeet-2 asked.
"Well... just watch out for them." Baljeet gulped when he saw his bully shot a threatening glare to him, "Anyway... is it true that you're a PhD.?"
"Of course!"
"Lucky, they never let me have this because they think I'm too young." The Indian proidgy pouted, "If it wasn't because I don't wanna miss Phineas and Ferb's activities, I think I'll be insane."
"Isn't he brilliant?" Ginger, sitting just a back behind Baljeet, stared at the boys with dreamy eyes.
"Yep, you said it." Her counterpart agreed with a similar expression.
"Oh boy." Milly rolled at her eyes.
"I know that feeling." Her counterpart patted her shoulders, "So, you are a... girl scout?"
"Well, NOT just an ordinary girl scout!" Adyson showed with pride, "You're talking to the best troop in Fireside Girls, Troop 46321 that is!"
"Led by the one and only Isabella Garcia-Sharpio!" Holly added with a smirk.
"Well, she's not the one and only now..." Gretchen-2 shook her head, "We are basically talking with ourselves from the other dimension after all."
"So... how's your dimension like?" Katie-2 asked with curiosity.
"Oh, it's great!" The blonde girl scout replied cheerfully, "We basically do everything we can in our dimensions, selling cupcakes, earning patches and participating every activity Phineas and Ferb have!"
"Man, your life is sure amazing." The Firestorm Girls all sighed with envy. With their Doofenshmirtz terrorizing, all they did is just hiding and training to be ready to take him down, "With our Doofenshmirtz ruling, we never got a chance to do anything."
The scout shared a look to each other, they don't really have experienced any of that torture their counterparts had. They felt sorry for them but on the other side they were impressed.
"Wow, sorry to hear that." Ginger said.
"But hey! At least you got a chance to test with those cool gadgets." Adyson said, "We could only see these stuff in Perry's lair and he won't let us try it."
"Besides, maybe your Isabella doesn't have her crush problem." Gretchen added.
However, the resistance girls all showed nervous looks once they heard it. At the same time, the scout girls groaned as they noticed.
"Don't tell us..."
"You have no idea..."
"Dad?"
"Dr. D?"
"Grrr...?"
Doof was in deep thought before Perry elbowed him.
"Huh what?" Doof looked around before realizing something, "Oh, sorry, kinda lost there."
"Dr. D, is there anything wrong?" Phineas was concerned.
"Sorry, I was just thinking about the other me." The scientist sighed, "I mean the moment when I gave my Choo-Choo to him, he gave up being evil. But now he was back to be evil."
"The moment I met him, I was astonished to see someone who share a lot common in me, we both like almond brittles, hate rice puddings, enjoy collecting coins just in case that vending machine will be the dominant race. I felt that I had actually made a brand a new best friend, and it's me."
"But now, it looks like we still drift apart even if I tried to stop him. Ironic, isn't it?"
"Dad, it's okay." Vanessa sighed as she put a hand on her father's shoulder, "You don't have to blame yourself for something that wasn't your fault."
"Vanessa is right, Dr. D." Phineas nodded, "It wasn't even your fault that your counterpart was evil at the first place. You did remember that he was trying to throw us into lava right? Do you think you would do that if you were in his place?"
"Are you kidding? I wouldn't even hurt a child!"
"That's the point." Perry chattered with a smile.
"He is your counterpart, but he is not you." Ferb replied, "and will never be."
Doof smiled at them, those encouraging words really made him feel better. "Wow, I felt better now. You are right, it wasn't my fault that he became evil, after all I wasn't the one made him lose Choo-Choo, or Ballooney, or the gnome, or anything. But still, there must be something wrong. I mean, knowing me, there must be a reason why the other me went back to evil."
"We will know it for soon, Dad." Vanessa nodded, "Whatever it is, we'll face him together."
Before anyone could say more, a line of mine carts (the same one the Flynn-Flether siblings took to save Perry when they were in the 2nd Dimension last time) arrived.
"Everyone all abroad. We'll take you to the headquarters." Candace-2 announced as all of them hopped in as the carts brought them to a stage.
"Here they come!" A resistance soldier arrived as he blew a whistle, as everyone placed themseleves.
"Resistance!" Candace-2 got off the cart as she announced, "As we all know, the Doofenshmirtzs have returned and once again taken over our Tri-State Area, but this time, he won't just face us, he will also have to face..."
"Us from the other dimension." The people from the 1st dimension stepped down the carts, earning whoas and applause from the audience crowd, that is until Doof tripped himself.
"I'm okay."
Perry facepalmed.
"Wait, what is HE doing here?" Someone pointed at Doof with suspicion. Doof turned to see only to find out that it was Monogram-2, who was in the same outfit Monogram usually wears. "Oh it's you, you know I actually prefer your old outfit when we first met."
"Calm yourself, Major. And everyone, don't panic." Candace-2 assured, as she saw some people from the crowd began to be panicked at the sight of Doof, "This Doofenshmirtz is not enemy to us, he is our ally too."
"We can prove that." Phineas nodded, "Dr. D has actually given up being evil and become Perry's teammate, and we trust him."
Perry also nodded in confirmation.
"I can actually say that myself, but thanks for your trust kid."
"And now Resistence, we all know that Doofenshmirtz is ready to take us down, but so are we. And this time, with the help of our other dimensional counterparts, we won't be afraid. This time, Doofenshmirtz is going down, and will never rise again!"
Everyone began to cheer at Candace-2's speech. At the same time, Phineas and Ferb had also begun looking at the audience, what to their surpise was that they found many familiar faces, including their parents, their friends' parents, Irving, Django, Stacy, Jenny, Albert, Mandy, Thaddeus, Thor, Love Handel, Paul the Delivery Guy and others. Perry also found Carl and most of his OWCA colleauges, and what Pinky just told him was right, they had all been made as cyborgs.
Though what confused Peter was that he didn't see his own counterpart. Being a skilled agent, he immediately realized that something wasn't right, but he chosed not to speak it right now.
Suddenly, a sound of explosion spread out and interrupted the crowd's cheer. They turned to see it was a boy in rags, what around him was some robot pieces.
"I...I'm sorry..." The boy replied meekly, "I'll go back to the safe right now."
"That kid looks familiar." Doof asked, "Who's he?"
Candace-2 looked at the boy in pity and concern, a moment later, she replied,
"That kid's name is... Milo Murphy."
Sheesh, I can't believe that it took me a long while to publish a new chapter for this story. And I thought graduating from high school would mean that I will have more free time, totally I was wrong.
Anyway, I think letting Isabella, Buford, Baljeet and Fireside Girls knowing their counterparts is kinda boring, yet it has to happen so they can learn something from each other, and yeah, Baljeet's part is kinda hard to write. Also here I headcanon that most people that PnF know are members of Resistance in the 2nd Dimension, and in the end I also made Milo Murphy showed up. If you thought 2nd Dimension PnF were different from the 1st Dimension ones, then let's just tell you that Milo is worse. Stay tuned everyone!
