"Hmmm, I think you're right, Ferb. We shouldn't have designed it to be so motion-sensitive."  Phineas realized as he checked another part of the machine.

"Oh, ya think." Buford responded to Phineas's statement of the obvious as Ferb swished his tail in the air.

Phineas stole a quick glance at Ferb and pondered for a moment. "Though, you'd have to admit that you being a Leafeon really suits you."

"Well, it is my preferred choice." The young Brit sat on his hind legs after ceasing his tail swishing.

He seemed to be taking things rather well as he used his paw to play with the leaf dangling from his forehead.

Baljeet, however, appeared to be having an extremely rough time adjusting to his new body as he kept tripping over his own feet.

And as he'd fall, his ears would continuously flop down over his eyes.

"Don't worry, after I add this last part, you two will be able to transform back to your human forms whenever you want to."

"Oh thank the gods" Baljeet sighed into the dirt.

"What's wrong, can't keep yourself up for more than twenty seconds?" Buford laughed as Baljeet grumbled and 'grrrr-ed' at him.

"Phineas!!" Candace trudged with exasperation out into the yard. "What are you two doing?!"

"We're building a—" the redheaded boy began.

"It doesn't matter!" She interrupted, "Jeremy is going to be here in twenty minutes and I don't want another one of your silly inventions interrupting our precious time together."

"Ok, Candace, we'll—"

"No, you won't do anything." She stepped closer to the machine and waved her arms in exaggerated distress.

"Candace, you might not want to—"

"None of those lasers that send me into the digital world, no portals to other planets where aliens play music with their teeth, no lightening storms that come out of nowhere to rain lemon-flavored gum balls from the sky."

"Candace!" Phineas yelled to get her attention.

"What?!" She finally stopped.

"Would you like the bad news or the really bad news?" Buford asked.

"What?"

"Well," he brought out a small pillow-shaped mirror, "This for starters."

Candace looked at her appearance in the mirror and panicked.

As she had been ranting, she had been hit by a stray beam from the machine.

"But he's going to be here soon." Electricity began to crackle in the air.

"Actually, that's the other bad news. He's already here." Buford probably made a mistake by pointing that truth out to Jolteon Candace.

A car door slammed and everybody froze like Weeping Angels.

Yep, definitely a mistake.

As Candace let out an ear-splitting scream, an electric bolt shot out and hit the machine that had previously shot at her.

This sent it into overdrive and made it misfire repeatedly as everyone, besides Candace, ducked and took cover.

At some point, Candace's outburst finally ceased and she observed the damage of her previous meltdown.

The backyard was destroyed, with the ground now covered in gravel instead of grass and many boards of the fence either burning or missing entirely.

The gang slowly inched their way out of their hiding spots, which were few. At least three of them had to hide behind or in the tree, which somehow remained unharmed.

Two others had somehow made it into the house or had jumped over the fence.

"Whoops" she stared at everything dumbfounded and then laid down and hid under her paws.

Though everything could've been repaired just fine. It was the machine that had suffered the greater injury.

"Turns out, electric shock to a machine is super effective." Phineas said, attempting to lighten the mood.

As the remnants of the machine sent out one last spark, a blue ray shot off into the air.

"Hmm. Well I guess whoever gets hit by that ray will have an interesting day a head of them."

➖➕➖➕➖➕➖

"Is it my imagination, or have you grown a lot taller in the span of one minute?" Doof asked perplexed.

Perry, whom had been preparing to send another attack, froze where he was and gaped at the mad doctor.

"What? Is there something on my face?" He looked in the reflection of the machine and turned back to his nemesis.

"Oh, so it appears I've been turned into some kinda blue fox with diamond ears." He did not seem fazed by it at all.

"Well, what can ya do?" He shrugged and placed his ha—paw back on the remote, ready to push the button.

"Now watch as the entire TRI-STATE . . . Blah, blah, blah. You get the gist already."

As the machine prepared to shoot towards his home, Perry leapt into action and tried to divert the inator's intended target.

Surprisingly, while not surprisingly, the machine shifted easily.

"Noooo!" Doof cried as Perry successfully positioned it to point towards itself and, consequently, Doof's lair as well.

Before he could jump off the balcony and release his parachute, however, Doof's uncontrolled exclamation sent out an ice blast that sent him flying.

It threw him back into the wall all the way on the other side of the lair.

"Hmph, didn't expect that to happen." Dr. D pointed out as the author sat in their living room perplexed, trying to think up the rest of the scene.

"Well, well, . . . Well." Doof smiled evilly, "it appears that I have another trick up my sleeve, which is really starting to irritate my fur by the way. How do you stand wearing clothes?"

Actually, Perry couldn't stand wearing clothes, except for his fedora. But he had no time to answer that question.

For the machine could fire at any minute, which would surely cause the playing field to be even more of a hassle to battle in.

Preparing his running stance, Perry's attention focused only on the self-destruct button located right behind Doof's head.

"Oh no you don't, Perry The Platypus." Doof sidestepped and let loose an ice beam that Perry dodged just in the nick of time.

This continued on for several minutes.

Perry used various objects to shield himself from Doof's attacks whenever he could not dodge them himself.

Doof just kept rapid firing at Perry, laughing every time the trained agent slipped on ice.

When Perry had finally reached the evil scientist, he let loose as many punches and kicks that he could muster up.

His job was extremely tiring, but at least his endurance and fighting abilities were in good enough shape for him to be able to take all of this nonsense.

Too bad ice types are vulnerable to fighting types, cause Doof was actually enjoying himself during this battle.

"For once," he thought to himself, "I may just have a chance at winning."

But that was before Perry jumped on his back and used a move similar to arm thrust.

It was . . . extremely effective.

Doof yelped in pain as his paw shot up to his hurt nose. He flung Perry off while doing so.

Taking advantage of the time he had, Perry pressed the self-destruct button with his foot and flung himself off the balcony.

The machine then decided to fire, as it exploded, at the part of the D.E.I. building that Doof occupied as his home and evil lair.

"CURSE YOU PERRY THE PLATYPUS!" Doof screamed as Perry faded off into the distance.

🎶Agent P🎶

"Hmm, well at least I've gotten used to the cold." Doof added as he glanced around at his recently frozen home.

Wow, did not expect this to go past two chapters.

I guess something out there wants me to continue . . .

Anyway, how's y'all doing today?

Have your neighbors started acting strange lately?

Has the TV disappeared for three minutes and then reappeared with a note attached to it saying "We needed spare parts"?

How's the weather?

If any of these questions can be answered with certainty, there's a possibility that you'll be just fine . . . Or not.

Cause ya never know when it comes to those dream aliens 👽.

One moment, great.
The next, not so great.

However your day has been going, I hope that you all have a wonderful day, people of the modern age. 😉😊
