Let’s Play: Phineas & Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension (Episode 4) (by CreepECrawlyMan)
“And yeah, why do you keep calling me ‘Dad’? I told you before: you’re NOT MY SON. You’re my annoying walking junkpile of a nurse!”
The robot’s usual glowing smile suddenly rotated into a glowing frown, completely sadden by Doof’s words. Norm replied in his usual “upbeat” tone, “Fine! Then, I’m running away!”
The doctor wasn’t fazed. “Whatever, Norm! I’m sure you’ll end up scraps in the Danville Junkyard before the day ends! I don’t need you!” Ignoring Doof’s yelling, Norm headed into his closet where he passively gathered his belongings, stuffing them all in the usual red and white polka-dotted sack.
Norm paused for a second, finding his old photo of him and Doof together (even though technically Doof wasn’t in a photogenic position and rather staring at a lightbulb) and then placed it within his sack and lifting it over his shoulder. The robot man headed towards the door, not even looking back at Doofenshmirtz.
The scientist merely rolled his eyes and said, “Pffttt, robot drama queen. I can totally handle myself without…..”
Doof suddenly then noticed the heavy-looking two-ton battery for his “inator”.
“…him. Ughhh…this is….this is gonna be a pain in the backside, I know it..”
~~~
Norm headed out of the DEI, smiling brightly and ready to take on the world. But, as he walked by the passing hovercars and the townspeople, the poor robot man couldn’t help but think about his master’s words.
“I am more than just a scrap-metal tower….” Norm said to himself. “If only I was human, so that maybe my dad could finally accept me……
“Hey!” Yelled a random stranger nearby. “Are you talking yourself or something?”
Norm simply replied, “Yes, yes I am.”
“Eh, crazy robots today, always talking to themselves…..” the man muttered.
“Thanks for your peeking interest!” Norm replied cheerfully.
Soon after, Norm began explore the vast city of Danville, looking around for something or someone to assist with his problems…..or at least had a place for him to stay temporary. Eventually, he found himself strolling down the suburbs of Jefferson Road until he heard some strange noises from one of the houses nearby.
Before he could react, a large storming crowd of people rushed from the backyard, all yelling and screaming incoherently.
“Wow,” Norm said. “Must be one heck of a mid-morning party going on!”
Curious, the robot man headed over to the source of the craziness, looked over the fence and spotted a couple of kids with a black pot of some sort.
Olivia and her friends paused at the sudden escaping crowd of former-animals-turned-humans as the girl said, “Well…..that was kinda disappointed and unfulfilling.”
“Huh”, Darwin added. “I was kinda thinking that something cool and exciting would happen if we turned a bunch of animals into humans……I guess not.”
Norm’s electronic eyes suddenly lit up with amazement; if someone could turn common animals into humans, Norm thought, perhaps this random group of children that he was eavesdropping on could assist with his problems!
“Whoa!” Claudia jumped and backed away from spotting Norm watching the kids over the fence. “Creepy robot man!”
Norm walked into the backyard, replying, “Greetings, children!” The kids froze at the fact that a giant random 10-foot humanoid robot man stepping into the scene right after he was just spying on them. “I heard you guys can turn stuff into humans, right?”
Olivia replied, “Uhhh…..sure?”
“Well then, would you turn ME into a human?”
“What, really? But you’re a robot, dude; why would you want to be a human?”
“Because,” Norm explained. “I wish to feel, to love, to understand the meaning of my existence and wish for something more—”
“Alright, alright! Quit the emotional jabbers!” Olivia interrupted. “We’ll help you, alright? Geez….”
“Joy!” The robot said happily.
~~~
Doofenshmirtz wiped the sweat off his brow as he looked upon his finished “inator”, proud of his success…..and his insufferable back-pain. However, he was surprised that it’s been about a hour or so since Norm had left, actually feeling a tad—
*CRASH!!*
But, before we could imagine what Doof was actually thinking, his old wrinkly nemesis, Perry the Platypus hovered down through the roof via his rocket-walker.
“Ah, Perry the Platypus,” Doof said. “You’re…..surprisingly late. I mean, usually, by the time I’ve finished my inators and whatnot, you’re already in my trap and I’m explaining everything and stuff. Oh, speaking of which….”
The doctor stepped on a hidden button the ground as a giant poster of “Metamorphers 2: Return of the Deceased” splattered the platypus into the wall and trapped by it.
“Ha! 20 years and you STILL can’t help but get trapped! Errr…..you can hear me, can you?”
Even if he wasn’t trapped into the wall by a poster, Perry, as usual, didn’t reply.
Doof continued, “Eh, I’ll assume you can hear me while I ramble about my evil plans. Anyway, as you can tell this poster, I’ve been obsessed about these new Metamorphers movies about the robots that transform into boring mundane everyday objects that it gave me an idea! What if *I* had an army of transforming robots to conquer the Tri-State-Area? Which is the point of…..”
Doof stepped over to his “inator” which looked like a gigantic pink lava-lamp with a computer monitor installed on the side.
“….the Inanimation-Inator! And no, it’s not like those animated stuff with the kiddy cartoons and whatnot; no, this device will target any random and boring everyday object in the Tri-State-Area into turn them into evil little robot henchmen that will obey MY EVERY COMMAND!!!!”
“Take this tacky lamp for example….” Doof said, pointing towards a table lamp in the corner. He went over to the Inanimation-Inator, targeted the lamp and presses the “animate” button, releasing a bright-bluish beam at the lamp.
Doof laughed evilly as the lamp suddenly grew some stubby mechanical legs and feet, angry bright-red eyes and some metal fangs as it hisses from its birth. “It’s alive!” Doof said. “ALIVE!!! See, look at the horror, Perry the…..”
Before you could say, “well-timed plot convenience”, Otto plopped into the scene through the ceiling hole that his partner left behind.
Doof gasped, “It’s….it’s….uhhh……what was your name again?”
The octopus gave off an annoyed expression on his face, considering Doof had once again forgotten who he was again, regardless of how many times he and Perry had fought him.
“Doesn’t matter, because you’re doomed, too!” Doof whistled towards his lamp minion. “Go get that agent, boy!”
The lamp-bot charged at Otto who quickly dodged its attacks on him and chased him towards the Inanimation-Inator. The octopus leapt onto top of the “inator” as the lamp-bot climbed up behind him. Otto then squirt ink at his opponent, causing the lamp-bot to slip and fall onto the ground.
The lamp-bot’s resulting collision onto the ground caused Otto to fall off and bump into the computer monitor on the way down. Unfortunately, it was the “randomizator” button as the “inator” starting shooting random objects in Doof’s apartment, creating more robot minions that quickly subdued the octopus.
“Wow.” The doctor said. “Usually, whenever my inators starting shooting randomly into the area, I end up losing. You’re…..you’re pretty bad at your job. My luck must be changing for a change!”
~~~
“So, this fancy purple goo will transform me into a human?” Norm asked.
“Pretty much.” Olivia said. “You just stick your finger into the cauldron and POOF! Human Norm!”
“I cannot contain my excitement!” The robot spouted cheerfully. Norm walked towards the bubbling substance and stuck his robot finger into the pot. “Ooo, it stings!”
Suddenly, the robot man began to change and tremble as the magic properties of the potion started to take hold on him. Olivia and her friends watched as Norm shrink a couple of feet towards the size of an average man, his husky metallic chest slowly become less metal-y and smaller and his usual robotic expression on his face become more definite.
As the suddenly appearing smoke cleared, the kids gasped at Norm’s brand-new form; the former robot man known as Norm was now….
….a human!
“Whhooaaa…..” Darwin said in awe. “….he’s alive!”
“Am I really?” Norm said in a simple, less optimistic matter. “Hey, I can talk without sounding so happy all the time!”
“Seriously, look at you!” Claudia stepped in, offering the large man a hand-mirror. “You’re in the flesh for the first time!”
Norm looked into the mirror, feeling his no-longer metallic hair and smiled back at his peach-colored face. “At last! I feel so—”
~~~
Otto’s expression shifted to annoyance as he tried to struggle out of the arms of the robot minions. “Anyway, now that you two are out of way, I can start up my evil plans!” The scientist shuffled towards the controls and started pondering about his next move…..right before he fell asleep as he stood.
Meanwhile, the octopus began to calculate a plan to escape, noticing that Perry was still glued down by the poster and a robot made out of Doof’s coffee table. With that, he was given an idea! Otto closed his eyes, sighed heavily and…..
*SQQQUUIIIRRRTTTT!*
…released a stream of ink onto the floor; this caused the robot minions to lose their balance and mistakenly tossed Otto into the air as they fell. The octopus plopped onto the top of the robotic table-bot as a nearby trash-can-bot tried to leap towards Otto. This, however, actually AIDED Otto as the trash-can-bot missed him and instead fell onto the other side of the table-bot, launching the octopus into the air as if he was launched by a teeter-totter.
Otto was then about to plop onto the “Metamorphers 2: Return of the Deceased” movie poster and tearing it down, allowing Perry to finally get into the action. However, the noise suddenly woke the formerly sleeping Doofenshmirtz back to life.
“What the?!” The doctor yelled. “How did you escape?” He then saw the big inky mess on the floor, the toppled robot minions and the torn-up movie poster. “Actually….I kinda don’t wanna know. Robot minions, get them!”
As Perry snapped his back into place, he and Otto readied themselves as the robot minions began to charge at them.
~~~
Meanwhile, after Norm’s transformation to life, Olivia and her friends brought the former robot man to downtown Danville, showing him off to the wonderful world of being alive.
Norm inhaled the fresh air of the city and said, “Wow, I never knew this city had such an influential aroma!”
Darwin replied, “Well, it’s better than the time when the Hovertruck full of rotten meat toppled over and the entire Tri-State-Area smelled like rotten ham for a week.”
“Yeah, I had to take like 15 tomato baths just get MOST of the smell off.” Olivia said.
Speaking of meat by-products, Norm then caught wind of another enchanting smell in the air; ‘twas the wonderful of the “Space Dogs” cart up the street from the group. “I will be right back, children!” Norm said, as he headed off to the cart. “I smell delicious fried space pig-flesh!”
Rosalina moaned, “Ugh, did he really have to describe them that way????”
The ex-robot man came up to the cart as the “Space Dogs” vendor greeted, “Hello, sir! Would you like a free sample of a ‘Space Dog’?”
“Sure!” Norm replied. The vendor handed him a small spice of a “Space Dog” on a silver toothpick and Norm, being new to the whole human thing and all, slowly took a small nibble from the dog.
With that, the sweet flavor of meat exploded on his new taste buds, exposing him to a brand-new feeling of satisfaction and he began to gobble down the sample whole.
“Delicious!” The ex-robot man shouted with joy. “I wish to purchase more ‘Space Dogs’!”
The vendor said, “Okay, sir, how many?”
“All of them! Put them on this card!” Norm slapped a credit card into the man’s hand under the name, “Heinz Doofenshmirtz”.
Olivia, along with her friends, watched Norm get his grub on and said, “You know, watching a former robot man getting his first meal is surprisingly making me hungry.”
Claudia replied, “Wanna get some ice cream?”
“Totally.”
~~~
The two agents readied themselves for battle as Perry flipped his Rocket-Walker upside-down, turning it into a lazer-cannon and blasting some of the robot minions away. Otto, meanwhile, started dueling a lamp-bot with Doof’s spare canes. As the fighting went on, Doofenshmirtz simply stood there, cheering his minions to win. “That’s right, robots! Give him the old onesie-twosies! *CRACK!* Ow, my back!”
The platypus then shot one of the robots into the Inanimation-Inator, causing the machine to suddenly break down and go haywire. The lava-lamp-like part of the “inator” started to crack as bright bluish beams started to shoot randomly around the room.
Doofenshmirtz panicked, “Ohhh, why must you break my things, Perry the Platypus???”
But as the beams continued to spread and unwittingly create more minions in the process, no one noticed one random beam shooting itself out of the building…..
~~~
….right around the time where a young man was driving his hovercar home. “Yeah, honey, I know to pick up some groceries on the way home,” the man said. “Okay, I’ll check the list….”
Ignoring most hover-vehicle rules, the man looked over to the passenger side of the car, reaching the list. The hovercar started to move out of his control as he ended up bumping into a hovering billboard. This causes the hover car lose its power and fall towards the ground.
“Thanks, dude.” Claudia said, grabbing the ice cream for the crew and paying the ice cream vender. “Nothing better than frozen sugar milk.” The others looked at her in confusion and she replied, “What? I like to make random phrase out of things. Don’t you look at me at that!”
Olivia said, “Eh, whatever. We should get back to Norm; who know what he’s doing.”
“Considering if we’ll LIVE to see him again!” Darwin said in horror and looking up towards the sky. Turns out that runaway hovercar was heading towards them at quick speed.
Olivia shouted, “OH SNAP!”
Suddenly, the horrifying screams of the kids broke Norm out of his “Space Dogs” eating binge and saw the falling hovercar tumbling towards the kids.
“Oh no,” Norm said. “I must save the children!” He dropped his food and rushed to the aid of the gang with the aid of a cliche Matrix-style slow-motion. And right Norm reached towards the kids and quickly pushed them all out of the way, the random bright bluish beam of the Inanimation-Inator came into the scene and……
….blasted the hovercar, causing it to stop in midair and sparing Norm’s life. Suddenly, the hovercar began to grow mechanical arms and legs, dark red eyes and metal fangs as it roared and stormed into the city.
The driver, who rolled out of the hovercar as it left, called his wife and said, “Yeah, honey? I’m going to be a little late with groceries.”
Darwin said, “Yeah, dude, we could have been ‘ road killed’.”
Olivia rolled her eyes and sighed. “Really? You proud of that joke?”
“As long as you kids are okay, I’m fine!” Norm said. “Even if that hover car could have gotten me, I would be a-okay! You know, since I could be rebuilt later on.”
“Rebuilt?” Olivia asked. “You’re a human now; if you had gotten smashed, you’d be dead. Worm food, would-be zombie, corpse, etc.” At that moment, Norm’s usual smile slowly faded away, realizing how close he would actually be dead. Ironic, consider how he only had a few hours to celebrate his newfound humanity.
The ex-robot man came up to Olivia and said, “I…..wanna change back.”
Olivia snorted, “Huh?”
“I wanna change back to being a robot man.”
Rosalina butted in and said, “What about you wanting to experience humanity and exposing yourself to feelings and stuff?”
Norm sighed, “I did like being human, but honestly, it really wasn’t what I wanted. You see, I thought being human was gonna make my….da—errr, ‘friend’ happier if I wasn’t a robot. But as much as I enjoyed my time as a robot, it wasn’t me. Plus, me almost dying didn’t help.”
Norm pondered about his next move and said, “Yes, yes I’m sure.”
~~~
Soon, the crime-fighting duo had successfully warded off Doof’s robot minions, leaving the lair in a complete state of disrepair.
“Aw, man!” Doofenshmirtz complained. “Who’s gonna clean up all this mess?”
But before the old man could react, Perry tossed one of the canes at Doof’s face, knocking him away from the Inanimation-Inator. Otto then quickly tossed his fedora at the self-destruct level, successfully activating said self-destruction as the lava-lamp-like device on the top slowly turned purple.
With that, Perry and Otto quickly escape through the hole through the ceiling via Perry’s Rocket-Walker as Doofenshmirtz screamed,“CURSE YOU, PERRY THE PLATYPUS AND YOUR….HARD TO NAME—”
But just as Doofenshmirtz could finish his yelling curse, the Inanimation-Inator exploded and taking out most of the room with it. Covered head to toe in soot, he weakly coughed in reply afterwards.
Doof rubbed the blackness out of his eyes, only to see that his lair was even more destroyed, but considering how common this was for him, it wasn’t a big deal. “Well great,” Doofenshmirtz said to himself, “I guess it’s just me then to clean up this mess.”
He painfully tried to reach down to the broom that appeared on the floor randomly, but he was stopped by a familiar voice.
“Don’t worry! I shall clean up!”
The broom was grabbed by Norm who, thanks to Olivia, was once again his metallic self.
Doofenshmirtz sighed, “Oh great, it’s you again! Didn’t you leave?”
Norm replied, “I did, sir and I thought I didn’t need you anymore. But it turns out you needed me as much as I need you!”
“What? What are you talking about?”
Norm said cheerfully, “Awww, come on, Dad! You know what I mean!”
“And there we go again with the ‘Dad’ stuff! I told you—” But Doof was interrupted by a surprised hug by Norm and, due to being a robot and all, snapped his broken back into place.
“Whoaaa….” Doof said. “Hey, my back feels great again!”
Norm said, “See? I’m important to you after all!”
Doofenshmirtz looked up at the robot man and said, “Alright fine, I GUESS you’re not a totally useless walking junkpile of a nurse and……I admit, I missed you.”
Norm’s eyes brighten up even more, “Really???? You think so….Dad?”
“Hey, hey, I admit you weren’t useless! That Dad stuff is too much!”
Norm smiled and simply took that as a compliment (or the closest thing to it) as he started to clean up the broken-up robots. But Doofenshmirtz stopped him said, “Thanks for the help….son.”

Part 2: The Little Girl And The Old Man
“OLIVIA MARCELINA FLYNN GARCIA-SHAPIRO!”
Olivia nearly jumped out her shoes and froze in mid-motion before she could turn the doorknob of the front door; she slowly turned her head, seeing her mother with arms crossed and her face looking uncharacteristically intense….
”Where do you think you’re going…..” Isabella asked. The girl sweated a little; her mother, while a sweet woman most of time, had occasionally anger moments whenever she’s pushed to the edge. She then continued with a sweet tone, “…..without a hug from your mom?”
Then, without warning, Isabella cuddled her daughter in a warm hug as her usual smile returned to her face. Olivia knew about her mom’s tendencies to joke around, but considering how angry she get, it’s hard to tell the difference.
“Heh, good one, mom.” Olivia chuckled nervously.
Isabella smiled again and asked her trademark catchphrase, “What’cha doin’?”
“I was gonna meet up with Rosalina at the gardens today…..to do stuff,” she obviously lied.
This made Isa raise her eyebrow in disbelief. “Olivia, are you gonna cause trouble again?”
“No, of course not! Heh, how could you possibly think that???”
“You know tonight is your father’s big night! I want everything to be perfect and I can’t have you making your usual mishaps and mayham again.”
Olivia sighed, “I promise I won’t cause trouble!”
“Good because your father worked hard and I don’t want him to stress out anymore than usual.”
“Alright, alright, I won’t! I gotta go!”
Isabella asked, “Aren’t you gonna join me and Quinn for brunch?”
“Sorry, I totally overslept and I gotta go!” With that, Olivia grabbed a purple board from behind the coatrack and headed out the door.
“Well,” Isabella said to Quinn. “I guess it’s just you and me, sweetie.”
Quinn chuckled, “Sweet! More waffles for me!”
“By the way, have you seen Otto?”
~~~
Somewhere, in the Flynn-Garcia-Shapiro household, Otto squirmed his way into the bathroom and quickly flipped on his fedora. Then, the octopus opened the sink cabinet and slipped into a small hidden opening in the wall.
After sliding down on a couple of water pipes, Otto soon arrive at a hi-tech, underground lair with a large computer screen, a nearby elevator tube and a bunch of platypus-theme (and a couple of octopus-themed) gadgets and gismos scattered across the area.
Otto hopped into the chair and turned on the computer which then a tall, older man with a white mustache-beard combo, liver spots and a rather large monobrow appeared on the screen.
”Greeting, Agent O.” said Major Monogram. “There’s—wait, where’s Agent P?”
Suddenly, the elevator tube came to life as it lowered down a older and pruny-looking platypus with a walker and a fedora. Upon the ground floor, Agent P slowly approach the screen with Otto.
“Ah, glad you’re here, Agent P. We’ve got quite a pickle; it seems that evil yet elderly Dr. Doofenshmirtz is has been purchasing large amounts of paint cans and paint sprays. It’s up to you two to foil his latest scheme. Good luck, troops.”
Agents P & O saluted to their commanding officer and headed to the hovercraft. And when I mean heading off, I meant “Otto hopped into the hovercraft while impatiently waited ‘almost a year’ for the aging Perry to waddle over into the vehicle.”
~~~
Back outside of the house, Olivia looked around the neighborhood, seeing if anyone would spot her nearby. She then held up the purple board, revealing a bunch of glowing symbols on it.
The girl chanted in a unknown language, “Suspendisse imperdiet De Morsus!”
With a bright glow, the purple board hummed a little for a moment and suddenly grew huge, enormous white bird-like wings. Olivia chuckled as she hopped onto the winged board; she took a while to regain her balance, but soon she was soaring into the skies.
*OVERDRAMATIC WHOOSH!*
Olivia flew through into the atmosphere as if she was surfing the clouds themselves and then dove into the futuristic city of Danville, speeding past the clueless citizens below. At one point, she flew so fast that she caused a man’s soup to splashing into his face at nearby resturant, causing him to shout, “YOU COST ME $8.50!!!!!
Soon, Olivia was just pasting by a tall, purple-ish building that kinda looked like a really big wretch or strangely enough like her Uncle Ferb; it also had a light blue dome upon the top and sign that read….
Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated!![]()
”HEY!”
Olivia looked up to the upper deck of the building, the source of the yelling coming from a horribly aged old man with a lab coat, bald with a deformed lump on his head, a large chin and horse-looking teeth.
“Oh great,” the girl sighed in annoyance. “It’s Old Man Goofenshmirtz!”
Doof replied, “First of all, it’s ‘Doofenshmirtz’ and second, quit calling me that, you little brat!”
“What are you gonna do? Force me to play checkers?” Olivia chuckled.
“Ohhh, I show you little whippersnappers what for ‘cause I know you’re the one who’s been painting on my building!” Doof pointed towards the bottom of the building where someone had been vandalizing it with crude pictures of Doof sprayed on. “You punk kids cost me $8.50 to clean that! But once my latest scheme is complete, you kids are gonna RUE the day you ever sprayed paint! RUE, I say!!!”
However, instead of causing fear to overwhelm Olivia like he wanted, Doof’s nagging monologue had bored the poor girl to death as Olivia pretended to sleep mockingly.
“Ohhh!” The scientist growled. “I curse you, little girl!”
Olivia replied carelessly, “Yeah, yeah, old man. Curses or whatever. Look, I gotta go, so have fun with your crazy stories.” As Olivia laughed as she flied off to the gardens, Doofenshmirtz shouted back, “I’M NOT CRAZY! YOUR FUTURE WILL BE NUMBERED SOON! FULL OF DOOM, EVEN!”
End of Part 2
Part One: Visions of Foreshadowing
Tap. Tap. Tap.
“Check one, check two. Syllabus……syllabus…”
The young janitor wiped the microphone with a rag and shuffled off the stage. Upon his exit, a older man approached the stand with graying hair, a suit and tie and a smile that most people would see as an honest man with a hidden mayoral motive to please the voting crowd.
“Greetings, fellow citizens of Danville,” bellowed out Mayor Roger Doofenshmirtz. “Before I begin, I would once again thank everyone for my fourth term in City Hall. Danville is always in safe hands.”
The crowd applaused and cheered towards their beloved mayor, despite this is the fifth time Roger has announced his mayoral position in a public event.
“Anywho, we’re all here tonight to honor the brightest minds that ever came from the Danville Institute of Science & Physics!”
Everyone applaused once again, one guy yelling, “Wooo! SCIENCE!!! YES! Organized knowledge for everybody! OH YEAH!” As the people calmed down and listen to the mayor’s speech in awe (a long one about science and whatnot), one person, however, wasn’t very…..interested.
In fact, she was bored out of her mind.
”Olivia!” Isabella yelled in a shushed tone. “Wake up!”
The red-and-black-haired girl snorted back to life, drooling a little. “Huh? What? Is Dad done?” she muttered.
Her mother sighed in annoyance. “Olivia, please don’t sleep during the ceremony. It’s disrespectable….and embarrassing.”
“I can’t help it if science is BOR-RING.” She huffed as she tugged at the dress Isabella made her wear. “Ugh, and this dress is so uncomfortable.”
Isabella replied, “Well, this event is very important to your dad and uncle and I want us to look nice to support him.”
“Yeah,” butted in Olivia’s older brother, Quinn. “so shush and support Dad, buttmunch!”
“Quinn!”
The teen shushed. “Sorry, mom.”
After hours upon hours (at least that’s how Olivia exaggerated) of scientific information and demostrations, twas finally time for Phineas’ and Ferb’s latest demo of the event.
Roger spoke again, “And now, it’s time for the truly important invention of Danville’s youngest and most brilliant minds….”
The other scientists moaned in saddness and annoyance, being overshadowed by Phineas and Ferb….again.
“Errr…..no offense, guys. Where was I? Oh yeah, it’s time for the truly important invention of Danville’s youngest and most brilliant minds! Ladies and gentlemen, I like to introduce our very own Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher!”
A thunderclap of clapping and cheering bursted through the air as Phineas and Ferb stepped out the stage and waving at the crowd, including Phineas’ and Ferb’s family and friends. Olivia watched her father grinning proudly and couldn’t help, but smile back. Regardless of her lack of interest in inventing and science, the girl still loved her dad’s incredible skills to improve mankind’s problems.
Phineas and Ferb, in their finest tuxedos, came up to the microphone when Ferb inhaled as if he was about to speak the speech first. However, the green-haired man was merely blowing on the mike and wiping it off for his brother.
“Thanks, Ferb.” Phineas said to Ferb, who then replied with a thumbs up. “Ahem, thank you everyone for coming out for us; we really appreciate it. Now, me and Ferb’s latest contribution to DISP is based off of one of our earlier projects when we were kids.”
”Oooooo……” went the crowd.
“Quite. Even our sister helped out back then….twice!”
An older Candace Flynn-Johnson rubs her temple in annoyance of the past reference while her husband, Jeremy, patted her shoulder in support.
Phineas, because of his oblivousness, continued on. “Anywho, ladies and gents, we like to introduce our newest invention: The Century-Jumper!” Ferb pulled out a pair of keys and clicked the little white entry remote, teleporting a large egg-shaped machine which was almost the exact size of a car. It also had some floating rings on the back and a control panel and seats behind a glass window.
The crowd did their traditional “ooh” and “ahh” and the occasional “woo-hoo”!
“Pssh, I could have thought of a better name for that.” muttered a horribly aged Heinz Doofenshmirtz in the crowd. “Like the “Quanum-Jumper-Inator”; THAT’S a good name.”
Phineas spoke on, “Now, we realize that many people, even me and Ferb, have already attempted the possibility of time teleportation.However, after countless studies in spacetime geometries and physics, we made the Century-Jumper virtually incapable of causing time-altering paradoxes!”
Everyone gasped dramatically (and unnecessarily) at the boys’ daring accusation against traditional theories of time and space.
“And in order to prove our theory, we’re allowing our pet octopus, Otto to be our official time-tester by sending him a mere five minutes into the future!”
Ferb added in, “Normally, we’ve send our pet platypus, Perry, into action, but he’s….. at that age.”
He then held up Otto, a squishy-looking tortoise-colored octopus who mindless blinked at the audience. Everyone in the crowd “awww’d” at the adorable mollusks while Olivia smiled with glee; she loved her sweet little octopus so much and treasures him so.
Olivia watched as her Uncle Ferb placed Otto into the time-machine. Phineas set up the machine’s time coordinates and closed the glass window. The octopus merely blinked and did nothing as usual.
“Also, please note that Otto is exactly calculated to return from five minutes, timed from the clock.” noted Phineas, pointing at the clock above the stage. “Have a good trip in time, Otto.” Phineas and Ferb stepped back from the Century-Jumper as Ferb activated the entry remote. Everyone watched as the egg-like time machine began to hover off the stage and floating up into the air.
The Century-Jumper switched around and flew within the clouds, emitting lights and flashes. Upon reaching the insane air distance of 89mph, the time-machine roars louder and faster until…..
…..it flashes into nothing.
The people below stared up into the skies, awaiting for the machine’s return as Phineas and Ferb five-highed each other in victory. ”Nice job, Ferb.” Phineas said.
However, this “victory” would only be short-lived as five minutes passed and…..Otto and the Century-Jumper had yet to return. This began to stur the crowd in worriness, especially Olivia over Otto’s safety.
“Where’s Otto? Is he gonna be okay, mom?” Olivia asked her mother.
Isabella tried hide to her worried expression and replied, “Of course, sweetie. Your father is a smart man; he’d never let any harm befall Otto.”
“…..unless he screwed up.” the girl whispered under her breathe. Soon, the clouds suddenly grew darker and grayer and sounds of thunder began to roar the skies.
“Ferb,” Phineas nervously asked his brother. “Uhhh…..let’s check our calcuations again.”
The two quickly looked back into their notes, in which Phineas was paralyzed in fear. “Oh boy. We didn’t carry the one!”
“We’ve been really off the ball lately.” Ferb said.
People began to scream and run as the ground began to rumble and shake and the storm began to grow worst and worst. Suddenly, objects and people began to actually FADE into pure nothingness.
Candace, at one point, shouted, “Grrr, I knew you two would still be causing trouble! You two are sooo—” Right before she could say her trademark catchphase, she began to disappear into air.
”CANDACE!!!” Jeremy yelled in horror, but soon he also faded away into nothing.
Chaos reigned as people randomly disappeared and the storm boomed with thunder and lightning. Even the stage began to fade away beneath the boys’ feet as Phineas and Ferb retreated back to their families.
“Phineas!” Isabella shouted. “What’s happening?!”
Phineas replied, “I…..I dunno. The time machine must have caused something in the past to—GAH!” He and Olivia watched as Isabella, Quinn and Ferb all randomly disappeared out of existence. “ISABELLA! QUINN! FERB! NO!!!”
Olivia hugged Phineas in total fear, something she never felt this serious in her lifetime. She hugged her dad tightly as reality began to literally tear apart around them. Suddenly, she could no longer feel her dad physically and gasped as her father dropped to his knees in pain and slowly fading in and out of existence as well. “Olivia…..” he moaned.
“Dad?!” Olivia replied, a terrified tone in her voice.
“I……I’m sorry.” And with his last words, the girl watched through teary eyes as her father soon disappeared into nothingness.
“No! Dad, come back!!” Olivia yelled. “DAD!!!!”
~~~
“Dad!”
Olivia woke up from a cold sweat, panting hard and looked around her surroundings. Now she was no longer in Danville Park, but in her purple skull pajamas and bed in her old junky room.
She sighed and wiped away her drool, “Just…..a dream. Geez, I gotta stop watching so much of those old ‘Space Adventure’ movies so late again.”
Then, a loud knocking was heard from the door. “Yo, buttmunch!”
Olivia knew only one other person who would obnoxiously called her by that name.
“What do you want, Quinn?” she replied.
“Well, I almost shouldn’t tell you, but mom told you to wake up now! It’s almost noon.”
The girl’s eyes widen in shock. “What?! Noon??? I’m suppose to meet Rosalina at the Danville National Garden!” Olivia leaped out of bed and quickly undressed herself.
“Hehheh,” chuckled Quinn through the door. “Too many sci-fi flicks?”
Olivia muttered, “Shut up.”
Eventually, Olivia was properly dressed in her normal attire: her purple t-shirt with a skull and a bow, tan pants and black-and-blue sneakers. She quickly straighten out her hair and sprayed her “Dark Cloak Black” brand hair-dye, fixing her do’ into its usual red and black striped style. After brushing her teeth in her bathroom, Olivia grabbed her spellbook and headed out the door.
End of Part 1
I doubt anyone would notice my updates here on Tumblr, but I might as well have a place to plan out my future plans and ideas.
First thing, I’m almost finished with my Olivia story, “Noon of the Living Norm” which I will officially post on dA (and possibly here too). Afterwards, I’m also gonna resurrect “Flynn to the Future”, my other Olivia full length story and update it with new chapters. The BTTF movies and game influenced me to continue the story more.
Second, since Ariel has moved on to the MLP fanbase, I don’t know whether or not to make Izz-Z Factor 2 in digital color. Perhaps I could learn to color it or find someone else to help me out. Either way, I still plan to start the sequel next year (after I complete Izz-Z this year).
Third, I’m gonna officially post all my C&F stuff here for now on, until most of my PnF projects are finished. To be honest, I’m worried that people may have forgotten my original works and if I’m gonna focus on my stuff again, I should have more work done by then. The Devil’s Seat is being planned to be updated as well.
Anyway, that’s about it for now.
