* I referenced the episode "Road Trip" in this chapter. I don't own the episode "Road Trip".
Epilogue
The mom informed Phineas and Ferb that it was late and that they should be coming inside soon. After requesting a few more minutes, Linda nodded before grabbing the last merchandise box and going inside the house.
Ferb reached behind the tree and pulled forward a garbage bag.
"It's a good thing we were able to take apart the Other Dimension-ator before mom got home." Phineas said as the two boys stood up. Ferb nodded as he shook the bag, the remains of the invention rattling around from the inside.
Phineas stretched his hands above his head. "Come on, Ferb," The boy yawned. "Let's put that in the garbage and get to-" He looked down. "Hey, where's Perry?"
Locking eyes, the two brothers – even Ferb – smiled at each other before exchanging a high-five.
"You know," Phineas pondered as they trekked to the sidewalk. "Aside from all the life-threatening events that happened…"
"Definitely one of the best days ever." Ferb finished, shutting the lid on the trashcan.
(Perry's POV)
"Even including your heinous outburst earlier," Major Monogram looked at Perry through the monitor. "It should be known that all is forgiven and it shall not be held against you."
"Good to know." I chattered as I lazily rolled my eyes.
"Your watch is currently being remade at headquarters and should come to you within the next week." He suddenly gave me an odd look. "Alright, how did you do it?" I stared at him. "You jumped into the other dimension, saved the agents of OWCA, destroyed the machine, and rescued your owners without them ever seeing your agent status." The major ticked all of this off on his fingers. "How in the world did you manage it?"
I panicked. What was I supposed to tell him? Make something up. No, no, what if he sees through my façade? I scratched my head through the fedora. No way was I being relocated. Major Monogram wore an expectant face. Uh…
I shrugged, dumbly. "I guess I just got lucky." His eyes bored into mine for what could've been the longest moment of my life.
"Well…" He said. "I'm glad it all went well, then."
"Major Monogram," My boss turned at the sound of the intern's voice, giving me the opportunity to breath a sigh of relief. "Tell Agent P that his security cameras are finally back on line."
"He can hear you, Carl." Monobrow said with the usual irritation. "Anyway," He continued. "I know it's late, but Dr. Doofenshmirtz has decided to cast out another one of his evil schemes. We want you to go over there and put a stop to whatever it is he's doing." I saluted and grabbed my jetpack.
Translation for the entire conversation that was just said: Welcome home!
The trap sprang out of nowhere and chains wrapped around the small figure.
"Now, Perry the Platypus, prepare yourself for my most evil 'inator'," The scientist rubbed his hands together as he reached in his pocket. "Behold!" Doofenshmirtz hollered proudly, holding the device in his hands. "The Por-"
The plaster of the walls scattered as Agent P burst in, holding his fists with a fighting stance.
"Perry the platypus!" Dr. Doofenshmirtz said dramatically. "Wait," He composed himself. "You're early. I wasn't planning on starting for another twelve-and-a-half minutes."
The platypus raised an eyebrow as he pointed to the victim in the trap.
"Oh, that?" The evil scientist said as he walked over to what was wrapped in the chains. "I call him 'Pretend-y the practice-pus'. I use him as a stand-in before you come to thwart me. You use a stand-in too, right?" The nemeses stared at each other for nearly a full minute. "This is," He rubbed the back of his neck. "actually, um, kind of awkward, really."
Shaking his head, the mammal started tapping his webbed foot with impatience. "I haven't been home all day." Perry chattered. "Let's wrap this up." For emphasis, his fingers did a twirling motion.
"Right, right," Dr. Doofenshmirtz voice filled with enthusiasm. Clearing his throat, "Behold!" The man whipped out a remote control. "The Portal-Closer-inator!" At this, Doofenshmirtz punched a button, and the closet door to the left automatically slammed shut.
It closes doors. Perry thought. Thank you for wasting my time, Major Monobrow. He turned around, put the jetpack on, and made his way to the exit.
"You know, I'm going to be honest," Perry heard his nemesis continue the demonstration. "I'm not quite sure what compelled me to make it." The platypus groaned. Why can't my jetpack warm up any faster? "It completely closes doors and inter-dimensional portals," Perry immediately tossed his pack to the ground and raced back inside. "But I honestly have no idea what you would want to do with that."
If the portals to the other dimensions were closed off, Perry thought as he gazed at the remote. Then nothing like today would ever repeat itself. I mean, what if the other Doofenshmirtz escapes? How much danger would my boys be in again?
With narrowed eyes, Perry snatched the remote from the protesting scientist. He slapped the button that was labeled 'Inter-Dimensional Portal Closer'.
"All passages to other dimensions," The remote's tiny stereo system droned. "Permanently closed."
Smiling, Perry dropped the remote to the floor and brought his foot down to smash it, not wanting to risk the portals being opened again. Perry saluted, put the jetpack on, and flew away from Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated.
"Wait a minute," Dr. Doofenshmirtz tapped his chin as he tried to pull the door to the closet open. "The blueprints for my next invention are in here." With a grunt, he pulled back on the doorknob, but it wouldn't budge.
"Curse you, Perry the Platypus!"
(In the other dimension)
"I can't believe you sold our truck stop diner for your wood splitting business," The woman complained as she looked at the wide cutting table. "And you didn't even buy a single saw." To make a finer point, her opened hands gestured around the empty sawmill while her husband just stared.
A rumble shook their feet as a giant blade struck through the building. Slowing to halt, the razor dropped to the ground like a falling penny.
"Don't say a word," The woman said at the man's smug expression.
(Perry's POV)
I opened the door and smiled.
The boys were cleaned up and fast asleep in their beds. My bill formed a wide yawn and, even though it was unnecessary, I stashed my hat away, dropped into pet mode, and jumped into Phineas's bed. Before I could cuddle up to the redhead, a small thumping noise sounded.
Glancing up, I saw that Ferb was patting his hand against the surface of an empty space on the blanket. Carefully jumping over Phineas, I trotted over and hugged Ferb before curling next to him.
I wasn't sure how long my eyes were closed, but the creaking of one of the beds broke the evening silence. My right eye opened to see Phineas sitting up, knees to his chest and wearing his facial features in astonishment. I started to open my mouth to chatter in question-
"Isabella kissed me." The boy said to absolutely no one.
Trying not to laugh hysterically, I closed my eyes for some well-deserved rest.
*I hope you enjoyed it. I have no idea if I'm going to do a sequel, but stay tuned in case it comes. I just want to say a very big thank you. I've never had this many reviews before. The constructive criticism and comments that were made were extremely appreciated. Once again, thank you to all who have reviewed.
