*slurps caffeinated coffee* I'm late.

"That was awesome!" Doofenshmirtz yells as he enters another room. He slides up to a desk and chair, where the chair turns to reveal 2nd Dimension Doofenshmirtz.

"Alright, who's interrupting my..." Doofenshmirtz-2 stops and sees Doofenshmirtz. They both Hmm, get up, switch seats, hmm, and switch seats again, and hmm again. "Do I know you?" He asks finally.

"Yeah, I'm you from another dimension." Doofenshmirtz said.

"Well, that would explain the handsomeness."

"Right back atcha, big guy."

"He must have great confidence, huh." Jeremy commented.

"Does that mean you and I are exactly alike?" Doofenshmirtz-2 asks.

"I suppose so." Another song starts with his words.

"Gross!" Candace and Stacy exclaimed.

"You know, I can't help but notice that your scar goes over your eyepatch." Doofenshmirtz pointed out.

"Yeah..."

"...Nothing..."

"I was thinking about that too." Vanessa mused but she wasn't really surprised. Her dad will always be extra, no matter which dimension it is.

Doofenshmirtz-2: ♪ Yeah, are they camels or sheep? ♪

"What's that, are we doing a TV show together?" Doofenshmirtz-2 asked suddenly.

"Oh no. It just sort of sounded like that. Well, I mean, we could. We should!"

"Hmm, maybe we're not so much alike." Doofenshmirtz-2 contemplated.

"That can be your catchphrase! You're the grumpy one. Eh?" Doofenshmirtz said, lightly poking Doofenshmirtz-2.

"I'd totally watch that show."

"You'd watch anything, Stacy."

Meanwhile, Perry, Phineas, and Ferb are still on the balcony.

"Wow, he's done really well for himself. What do you think, Perry?" Phineas holds Perry up to show him. Perry looks around nervously for a second without the boys noticing, then reverts to pet mode and chatters. "Hey, where is Dr. D?"

Back in Doofenshmirtz-2's office...

"Dad! Did you outlaw Tony Marzulo!?" 2nd Dimension Vanessa demanded, entering Doofenshmirtz-2's office. "If you keep banishing every boy who shows an interest in me, I'll never have a social life."

"What am I wearing?" Vanessa asked, seeing the ridiculous headpiece. "Not to mention, he's banning all boys who ask me out!?"

"Done, and Done." Doofenshmirtz-2 said proudly.

"Who's that?" Vanessa- 2 asked.

"Oh, don't mind him, he's just your father from another dimension."

Doofenshmirtz tries to shake her hand, but Vanessa- 2 walks away.

"Whatever, I'm going back to mom's, and I'm taking the blimp."

"Okay, well tell your mother, you had fun though."

"Everything in this other dimension seem the same so far." Stacy said, seeing how similar the 2nd dimension Doofenshmirtz family is to their own.

"There must be some things different if they are being ruled by an evil man." Isabella reasoned.

"Man, that's sad man. I always take Vanessa to her mom's." Doofenshmirtz said.

"Hm, whatever I don't care about that. As long as she can get home alive."

"That's crazy, I haven't taken over the Tri-state Area, so I have to make sure she's in one piece when she gets to her mom's."

"Ain't that the truth." Vanessa sighed.

"I don't get it. Why are you so against your dad taking you home?" Stacy asked.

"He's way too overprotective."

"So what you're telling me is you're still not ruler of your Tri-State Area?" Doofenshmirtz-2 challenged.

"Yeah? Well obviously you didn't have to deal with my nemesis, Perry the Platypus!" Doofenshmirtz defended.

"Oh didn't I? Observe!" Doofenshmirtz-2 motions to a doorway. It opens, fog coming out, and someone steps out of it.

"What is it?" Doofenshmirtz asked.

The fog clears to reveals 2nd Dimension Perry with a metal body and a metal eye. He salutes Doofenshmirtz-2.

"Oh no! Perry is turned into a cyborg slave in that dimension?" Isabella gasped in horror.

"How could we have ever let that happened?" Phineas said, angry with his other self.

"Maybe you didn't know." Katie said. "You wouldn't really know if something happens in his mission right now."

"Katie!" Isabella scolded, seeing how pale the Flynn-Fletcher family suddenly became at that thought.

"This is Perry the Platyborg! He was once my nemesis, but now, he is general of my army!"

"Wow, you are good!"

"Dismissed." Platyborg salutes again and rockets off to somewhere.

"Don't worry kids. I'm sure he's fine right now." Lawrence reassured them. "If this cartoon is correct, then he's been doing this way before he even met us."

"Worried? I'm not worried about that meat brick!" Candace exclaimed, but everybody could hear the tremor in her voice.

"That was awesome!" Phineas yells out as he, Ferb, and Perry ride in on the same chairs Doofenshmirtz did.

"Ugh, now who's interrupting me? Remind me to berate my Indentured Executive Assistant!" Doofenshmirtz-2 said, annoyed.

"No, man, it's cool. They're with me." Doofenshmirtz reassured.

"Oh, hey, Dr. D. We thought we lost you."

"Hi, fellas! Whoops!" Doofenshmirtz-2 suddenly grabs him by his collar.

"You dare to bring a secret agent in here?"

"Wow! Looks like there are some things different after all." Stacy said as they watched with wide eyes.

"This boy's a secret agent?" Doofenshmirtz asked, confused.

"No, not him!"

"The quiet one?"

Phineas and Ferb turn to each other, and Ferb shrugs.

"No, not- No, HIM!"

"This plant?"

Phineas and Ferb turn to reveal a small potted plant next to them.

"You're dad can't be this much of an idiot!" Milly exclaimed.

"Trust me, he can be."

"The platypus! That's secret agent Perry the Platypus!"

"Whoa, hey. He's just a platypus. He doesn't do much." Phineas said.

"Why can other dimension Dr.D recognize Perry but ours can't?" Candace asked.

"Maybe he's smarter than our Dr.D?" Gretchen theorized.

"Oh, this is rich! I see what's going on here. You, you really think that he's your pet, don't you?" Doofenshmirtz-2 asks mockingly. Perry blinks, the only sign showing how nervous he is. "WRONG! He's using you! You're just his cover! He's a secret agent! Here, here, let me prove it. General Platyborg, come down here at once! He'll be here in just a second, and then..."

Platyborg lands on Doofenshmirtz-2's foot, and he yells in pain, holding his foot.

"Even when under mind control, Perry's going to give the occasional pain to dad." Vanessa mused morbidly.

"Alright, Platyborg, you see that platypus? You know what to do." Doofenshmirtz-2 said when he got over the pain.

Platyborg charges and smacks Perry away.

"Perry!" Phineas yells out, distressed.

Perry lands on his feet and shakes himself, still in his pet mode.

"What was that for?!" Phineas and Ferb run to Perry to check on him. "Perry, are you okay?"

"Why didn't he defend himself?" Phineas asked.

"Cause a platypus doesn't do much, Phineas." Candace answered, using the same words Phineas used to say.

"Told ya." Doofenshmirtz said.

"How are his vitals?" Phineas asks as Ferb checks Perry with a stethoscope.

"I'd rather have him defend himself than try to hide his secret." Phineas grumbled.

"Well, Perry thinks differently." Stacy said, knowing how protective the platypus was of his family.

"Wait, let me try something." Doofenshmirtz-2 said suddenly. "Oh Platyborg, do the same thing to those two boys.

"What?" Doofenshmirtz asks in disbelief.

"So that's how he was found out." Vanessa mused.

Platyborg leaps and charges at Phineas and Ferb. Platyborg is just about to punch when Perry stands upright and socks him back. He gets in his fighting position, ready to defend.

"Perry?!" Phineas asks, not believing his eyes.

"Looks like hurting you two is the last straw for him." Jeremy said.

"YES! I knew it!" Doofenshmirtz-2 celebrated while Doofenshmirtz looked confused.

"Wait a minute. I-I'm confused. Why does their platypus fight so good?"

"I can't believe this much idiocy!" Holly exclaimed in disbelief.

Perry rolls his eyes as he puts his fedora on for Doofenshmirtz.

"PERRY THE PLATYPUS?!"

"Really?" Doofenshmirtz-2 asked sarcastically.

"What?"

Doofenshmirtz-2 sighs in exasperation and facepalms.

"Perry?" Phineas looks hurt, and Perry looks away from him.

"GET THEM!" Doofenshmirtz-2 commanded as two armored bots come at them, and Perry pulls Phineas and Ferb away.

"You're a secret agent?!" Phineas asks as they get pulled along. They swerve as more bots come in. They slide under the animal skeleton, and a bot knocks away the skull.

"Hey, be careful with that!" Doofenshmirtz-2 yells.

The skull slides near a window. Phineas, Ferb, and Perry back away from the bots, and suddenly Phineas gets angry. "So this is where you disappear to everyday? You come here and fight this guy?"

"No, he-he fights me." Doofenshmirtz clarifies. "He doesn't really know this guy."

"You thought he went to another dimension every day?" Vanessa asked.

"I guess so." Phineas said, fiddling nervously with his ear. "Pretty stupid of me in hindsight."

"You fight a pharmacist? Why would you even do that?!"

"Actually, I'm an evil scientist, but a lot of people are confused by the lab coat."

"You're evil? He's evil?!" Phineas yells, getting angrier.

"What is with evil scientists and lab coats?" Buford wondered.

"You know other evil scientists?" Baljeet asked.

"You don't know everything about me."

They back up to the windowpane, looking down at fall. The glass can be heard creaking under their feet. "So not only have you been leading a double life this whole time, but you sat there and let us help an evil scientist open an evil portal into an evil dimension, and you did nothing to stop us?!"

"Well, he did pee on the couch." Ferb said.

"Wait a second, I just realized." Doofenshmirtz said suddenly. "That was a conscious choice! You peed on my couch!" Perry shrugs embarrassedly.

"I still can't believe he thought that was a good idea." Katie said, shaking her head.

"It almost worked." Holly defended.

"No, no, that wasn't enough! That's when you should've put on your little hat!" Phineas ranted, but Perry's attention was on something else. He looked to the skull on the window, then back to Phineas, a plan formulating in his head. "Not now, after we've gone through it into this mess!"

"He's going to do something crazy, isnt he?" Linda said, noticing Perry's look.

"Oh, for badness sake, you can hash all this out in prison. Guards?" Doofenshmirtz-2 said. Perry pushes the brain freeze button on his watch, and Doofenshmirtz-2 suddenly grabs at his head. "Ahh! Brain freeze!"

"Well that was useful." Adyson said.

Perry opens the window, and they fall out, Phineas screaming as they fall. Perry sticks his foot in the skull's eye sockets, catching Phineas and Ferb with the horns, his chute opening up.

"I-I'm sorry, I'm just having trouble processing this right now." Phineas said and Perry hands him a pamphlet. ""So You've Discovered Your Pet is a Secret Agent..." I don't want your pamphlet!" he said angrily, throwing it away.

"No! Don't throw away the pamphlet!" Stacy yelled, causing everyone to look at her. "I-I mean, pamphlets are, um, important. Yeah..."

"You knew, didn't you?" Vanessa whispered to Stacy when everyone's attention went back to the TV.

"W-what? I don't know anything! Is there anything to know? There nothing to know! Ha ha ha!"

"Uh-huh..." Vanessa said skeptically and looked back to the TV.

The bots can't follow them from the tiny opening, but Platyborg leaps down after them with his wings extend out of his back, and he darts to them.

"Uh-oh." Perry moves them away from Platyborg's path, but he turns back and flies at them. "He's coming back around!"

Perry dislodges the chute as Platyborg cuts through. He and the boys land and slide down another window bank, and Platyborg rockets back at them. Perry struggles to remove his feet from the skull to no avail, and Phineas looks at this.

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me!" Perry still struggles to get out and looks at Phineas pitifully. "Oh, for crying out loud!"

Platyborg rockets back towards them while Phineas and Ferb both try to pull Perry free. "What, they didn't teach you how to get out of this in Spy School?"

"Ouch. You're savage when you're angry, Phineas."

Perry is suddenly flung from their hands, and he lands upon the windows and balances himself. Platyborg lands next to him, and his wings retract. Perry looks at him for a moment before he turns the skull to face him.

Lawrence noticed how tense Linda looked while the two platypuses faced each other, so he put his arm over her shoulder. "Hey, don't worry. The boys are going to be fine." He whispered.

"They're not the only one I'm worried about." Linda said, looking at the crime-fighting platypus. "Nothing's going to be normal anymore, Lawrence."

"You're right." he said, squeezing her shoulder reassuringly. "But I have a feeling that this might be better than normal."

Lind smiled, thinking about everything that came to light with just a few C.Ds. Maybe normal wasn't what the Flynn-Flecther family needed. It will take time and a lot of talking, but they will be okay.

Back on the screen, Phineas and Ferb were looking at the two platypuses.

"Oh, snap!" Phineas said, watching the stand-off. Suddenly Perry's discarded parachute lands on them. "Look, there's a logo on his parachute! He's got his own logo?"

"All top agents have their own logo, Phineas." Vanessa explained.

"Well, I didn't know that!"

Perry taunts Platyborg, and they fight. Perry grabs Platyborg's arm and punches Platyborg's face several times, with no effect. Platyborg smirks evilly, and he punches Perry, sending him back near the edge. Platyborg morphs his hand into a spinning mace, ready to attack Perry, but Phineas and Ferb wrap him in the parachute, causing him to stumble and fall off the edge.

"All this time, we're like "He's a platypus, he doesn't do much". Well, apparently, you do." Phineas rants, still not happy with his pet's double life, when suddenly he notices something. "You... you, you're tangled up in the..." The skull is caught in the chute lines, and Perry gets dragged along with Platyborg. Phineas and Ferb grab on, and they fall. Platyborg grabs a nearby ledge to save himself, and Phineas, Ferb, and Perry are flung into a windowpane. The window panes tip as they hit each one, lowering them to the ground.

"Wow, saved by unconventional architecture." Said Phineas.

"Ferb, make a note. We already made an unconventional vehicle, why not an unconventional building?"

"Wait a minute, when did you make that?" Candace asked.

"When we were in Africa."

Suddenly a Normbot approaches them. "May I please see your papers?" They look at each other before staring, and the Normbot replaces its normal head with an armored one. "Show me your papers or be destroyed." It said in a deep voice.

The skull lands on the Normbot's head, causing it to sputter and fly off erratically. The door of Doofenshmirtz-2's building opens, and Platyborg comes out, tearing off the chute. He marches up to them, then he hears a noise and looks. The Normbot lands, but right behind him. Platyborg then goes back to marching but is then hit by a bus. Perry, Phineas, and Ferb run during that opportunity.

"That's some luck you have there." Jeremy mused.

"It's the Phineas and Ferb effect." Baljeet said.

"Curse you, Perry the Platypus!" Both Doofenshmirtz's yelled out Doofenshmirtz's turned to his counterpart. "Jinx! You owe me a soda!"

"Get me, I'm a Georgia O'Keefe painting!" The downed not said. A taxi pulls up next to it, Platyborg is stuck on the windshield.

"4th and Main." Platyborg gets off and hands the driver some money "What? No tip?" Platyborg turns his hand into the mace threateningly. "Never mind, I'm good." He drives off, and Platyborg looks around for his target.

"2nd dimension Perry is scary." Milly said and no one could argue against it. The mechanized platypus is scary, as an individual and a possibility.

------------------------------------------

I feel like I'm putting too much emotion into a children's show. Should I dial it down a little?
