| - (Scene opens on a small green vortex coming towards the camera.) Female Voice: (whispering) I am ashparash! Charlene-2: (narrating) Our dimension's changed. Male Voice: (also whispering) What's that? Female Voice: (whispering) It's Elvish. Charlene-2: (narrating) I feel it in the water. Male Voice: (whispering) Yes, but what does it mean? Female Voice: (whispering) It doesn't mean anything. It's a made-up language. Charlene-2: (narrating) I feel it in the earth. Male Voice: (whispering) Oh, then I want to try one. Charlene-2: (narrating) I feel it in the little pieces of apple in my Waldorf salad. Female Voice: (whispering) Go ahead. Charlene-2: (narrating) Much of what once was... Male Voice: (whispering) Sepulveda. Charlene-2: (narrating) is lost. Female Voice: (whispering) What? Male Voice: (whispering) It's an exit off the 405. Charlene-2: (narrating) For some now live who remember it the way it really happened. (Title card.) (A montage of scenes from Across the Second Dimension plays during the following narration.) Charlene-2: (narrating) Like all terrible things, it started with small-minded people who became great. Victory was near. But small things can also be good, and can work against evil, like how a tiny cat hair can ruin an evil sandwich. The great empire fell and fell some more. And what was once evil melted away and was replaced by the love of a choo-choo. Soon all discovered that there was more to life than vigilance. All but one. (The montage crossfades into a picture of the second dimension Flynn-Fletcher family. Zoom out to reveal second dimension Candace's bedroom.) Candace-2: (voiceover) War journal entry number... Uh, I mean, Dear Diary, It's been two months since the fall of Doofenshmirtz, but every morning I think I'm gonna wake up back in the underground. I feel restless. I need a challenge. I need a mission. I can feel myself getting softer. Doofenshmirtz is in jail and everyone is trying to embrace their new freedom. I alone know better. I can feel evil still out there, getting stronger while I sit in my room, waiting for the other shoe to drop. (Cut to the second dimension backyard. Dr. Baljeet and Buford-2 join Phineas-2 and Ferb-2.) Buford-2: Hey, guys! I think I stepped on a slug. Dr. Baljeet: A slug, really? Buford-2: Wait a sec. What do you call those things that eat nuts and live in trees? Dr. Baljeet: A squirrel? Buford-2: Yeah. It was definitely a slug. Phineas-2: Where's your other shoe? Buford-2: I dunno. I must've dropped it. Candace-2: (from her bedroom window) Hey, what's all this about the other shoe dropping? Phineas-2: Buford stepped on a slug. Candace-2: Okay, but be careful down there. Call me if there's any trouble. (She backs away from her window slowly, then quickly peers back out.) Phineas-2: So how's the "summer fun" coming along, Dr. Baljeet? Dr. Baljeet: Well, since the Phineas and Ferb from the first dimension suggested we make the most of our summer, Buford and I have been experimenting with fun, and so far... Buford-2: So far, I'd rather be breakin' rocks for the state. But, in all fairness, I do love breakin' stuff. Dr. Baljeet: (to Phineas-2) What about you? How have you embraced your freedom? Phineas-2: Fortunately, we've had a little help, thanks to the coolest pet ever. (Whip pan left to Perry the Platyborg wearing a red baseball cap smiling.) Phineas-2: Here, boy! Fetch! (Phineas-2 throws a stick and Perry jets into the air to obliterate it.) Phineas-2: Cool! Ferb-2: Any pet can fetch a stick. (Perry-2 lands on the ground and a metallic thud is heard.) Phineas-2: What was that noise? Dr. Baljeet: It is some kind of metal door. Phineas-2: (to Perry-2) Here, boy, pull the chain. (Perry-2 pulls the chain revealing some sort of underground compartment.) Phineas-2: Whoa! Lawrence-2: Oh, hello, boys. I see you found my secret stash. Phineas-2: What is it, Dad? Lawrence-2: Well, that's what's known as "sporting goods". Dr. Baljeet: What do you do with them? Lawrence-2: Back in the old days, before Youknowwho, people used to use this stuff to play sports. Phineas-2: Could we play sports? Lawrence-2: Well, I don't suppose there's any reason to hide this stuff anymore. So, yes! As they used to say, "Have a ball!" Phineas-2: Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today! We're gonna use these goods and play a game of sports! (Cut back to Candace-2's bedroom. Candace is doing pull-ups.) Candace-2: (grunts) 999... (Her vanity monitor begins beeping. She puts a lightbulb in and Major Monogram-2 appears on screen.) Major Monogram-2: Good, you're home. Candace-2: Monogram? Is there trouble? Do you need me? Major Monogram-2: Hoo-hoo, stand down there. We captured Doofenshmirtz. Nothing left to resist. And it would look foolish to just stand there, resisting nothing... Well, unless you're a mime. Then it would look totally cool. Candace-2: If there's no trouble, why are you calling? Major Monogram-2: Oh, right! Ahem. As you know, after our agents were all captured and OWCA fell, your resistance partly operated out of our old headquarters. Candace-2: Yeah, so? Major Monogram-2: Yeah, well, um, now that we're trying to rebuild our spy network, I was wondering, um, where did you put the keys? Candace-2: They're under the ceramic frog. Carl-2: (appearing on the right side of the vanity) Oh, I love your three-monitor vanity! Major Monogram-2: Carl will be helping me locate our animal agents so that we can— Carl-2: (spinning around) Hey, I got my own monitor! Wee-hee! Major Monogram-2: Carl, do you mind? (Carl-2 ducks down.) Major Monogram-2: Now, let's see. Where was I? Oh, yeah. (During this, Carl-2 appears on different sides of the vanity and mocks Monogram-2) So, yeah, if-if you get a chance, tell Agent P he can return to work anytime, and, uh, and if you see any other small animals, you can tell them to... Carl, why don't you go over and check the ceramic frog? Carl-2: Yes, sir. Candace-2: Major Monogram, do you want me to come over there and help you guys? Major Monogram-2: No, no. Doofenshmirtz is in jail. Everything's fine. Go-Go to your picnic and relax. Dress festive, be young! Ha. You've earned it. Candace-2: But, Major, I'm trained to— Major Monogram-2: Leave the responsibility to us, young lady. Carl-2: (offscreen) Look, Major Monogram, I found it! Major Monogram-2: Carl, no! That's a real frog! Carl-2: (offscreen) Oh. Frog: Ribbit. Carl-2: (offscreen) Ew! Major Monogram-2: Yeah, I gotta run. You go have fun. (The monitor becomes a mirror again.) Candace-2: (sighs and gets her red shirt from a coat hanger) Well, I guess it's time to dress festive. (Cut to the park, where Phineas-2, the gang, and the Firestorm Girls are playing a game of "sports".) (Song: Playing a Game of Sports) Aaron Jacob: ♪ I've got my football helmet on ♪ ♪ And an old cricket bat ♪ ♪ Volleyball net ♪ ♪ And some cycling slacks ♪ Aaron and Danny Jacob: ♪ You've got a pair of figure skates ♪ ♪ And a billiards rack ♪ ♪ Dry suit, skort ♪ ♪ And a baseball cap ♪ ♪ We'll all have fun like mad ♪ ♪ With the game we don't know ♪ Danny Jacob: ♪ Game that we don't know ♪ Aaron Jacob: ♪ It's one we've never played ♪ Aaron and Danny Jacob: ♪ And this is how it goes... ♪ Female Narrator: Once the gong is rung, the offensive team serves the pom-pom and advances down the field. The defending cyclists race past the tackling dummies and try to get into scoring position. If they manage to return the pom-pom into one of the scoring locations, they will be awarded a chance to chase the jumbo riding ball past the midfield skiing defender, while the other team tries to hit as many tennis balls as they can using golf clubs. I don't know why this guy has a canoe paddle.

Isabella-2: Candace? Candace? Come in, Candace! Candace-2: (Takes off her shades and turns around) Isabella? Oh, hey. Isabella-2: Wait a minute, are you standing sentry? Candace-2: (stoic) What? No. I was about to frolic down the hillside. I'm all about this whole "fun" thing. Isabella-2: Y'know, you're not foolin' anybody. Candace-2: Yeah? Isabella-2: Bo staff. Candace-2: Right. Isabella-2: Candace, I thought you were going to take it easy. Whatever happened to that whole Jeremy Johnson thing? Candace-2: We were supposed to go out, but things kept getting in the way. I didn't have any time. I was busy. Isabella-2: Doing pull-ups in your room and watching your brothers? Candace-2: I like doing pull-ups. Isabella-2: There's no reason you can't do that, but you have to make room in your life for other things like fun and... Candace-2: And Jeremy Johnson? Isabella-2: Something like that. In the meantime, I'd like to introduce you to a little thing the kids are calling "ice cream". (runs down the hill) Candace-2: "I scream?" W-What is that? Some kind of weird yelling game? (following Isabella-2) (Cut back to Phineas-2 and the gang. A soccer ball is thrown into a bush) Phineas-2: Nice hit, Dr. Baljeet. Dr. Baljeet: Ha ha! I believe that makes the score six kadooms to twelve rempars. Phineas-2: Eleven, if Perry can find the ball. (Perry-2 takes off again. He finds the ball, but it gets squished by a metallic foot. Pan up to reveal the foot belonging to a Chihuahua-borg. The Chihuahua-borg fires at Perry-2.) Phineas-2: Perry! (Perry-2 pushes the Chihuahua-borg backwards and the Chihuahua-borg breaks a park bench. A bull-borg then jumps on him.) Phineas-2: Come on, Ferb, we got to help him. (A giant robotic leg blocks Phineas-2's way.) Phineas-2: What the heck is that thing?! (Cut to Isabella-2 and Candace-2. Candace-2 has a major ice cream headache.) Candace-2: Ow! Ow! Isabella-2: Candace, you have to eat the ice cream slowly. What is that?! Candace-2: Giant mechanical ants! My brothers are in trouble! On your feet, kid, it's go time! Isabella-2: There's a flying one! Candace-2: I got it! (She fires a grappling hook at it.) Whoa! Isabella-2: (skating past Candace-2) On your right! (Cut back to Perry-2 and a Dog-borg fighting. A Kitty-borg also comes charging to Perry-2. Sunddenly, a Panda-borg electrocutes him by surprise.) Phineas-2: Oh no! They got Perry! (The giant mechanical ant stomps into the ground.) (Cut back to Isabella-2 being chased by a flying robot. She traps the bot and one of the ant's legs comes apart. Phineas-2 and Ferb-2 run away from the ant toppling over. Cut back to Candace-2 chasing the flying ant. She destroys it and it crashes into a tree and explodes.) Candace-2: Are you guys all right? Phineas-2: We're fine, but cyborg animals have captured Perry. Candace-2: The robot ants must have been a diversion. (turns on her cell phone) Monogram, we just got ambushed at the picnic. This has Doofenshmirtz written all over it. Major Monogram-2: (on screen) Well, that's impossible. He's right here in our detention facility. I-I-I just played checkers with him. (He cheats, by the way.) Candace-2: These giant ants didn't send themselves! Phineas-2: Ask him about the cyborg animal agents! Major Monogram-2: The what?! Was one of them a panda and the other one of those shaky rat dogs? Phineas-2: Yeah, yeah, where'd they come from? Major Monogram-2: Ah, well, I didn't want to say anything before, but we kind of lost track of some of the agents when Doof took over. Candace-2: How many did you lose? Major Monogram-2: Carl, hand me that roster. (Carl-2 gives him a notepad) Let's see, including Agent P... (He hums the ABC song.) ♪ A-B-C-D, hmm, hmm, hmm... ♪ Carl-2: 26, sir. Major Monogram-2: 26! Phineas-2: Ferb, if we can access Perry's location chip, maybe we can ambush those cyborgs and rescue Perry. Candace-2: Yeah, no way! You guys are staying here where it's safe. Phineas-2: Candace, we can handle this. Who was it that got past the security grid to free you from Doof's tower? Candace-2: Okay, but take the Firestorm Girls. It could get hairy. And while you do that, I'll go find out who's behind all this. Phineas-2: Come on, Ferb! (Cut to OWCA's high security prison. The doors open and Candace-2 steps inside. She walks up to Doof-2's cell to see him playing with his toy train.) Doofenshmirtz-2: Ah, Choo-Choo, look! We have company! Candace-2: All right, Doofenshmirtz, what do you know about robotic picnic ants and a fist-full of cyborgs? Doofenshmirtz-2: Ants at a picnic? So it's a...it's a rhetorical question, is it? Candace-2: Don't play smart with me, villain. You're behind the attack at the park. Now, spill it! Doofenshmirtz-2: What? You're blaming me? I-I-I've been locked up in here with Choo-Choo. Isn't that right, Choo-Choo? Yes. Yes, it is. See? H-He'll provide an alibi. Candace-2: Don't lie to me! There's Doof-tech scattered all over that park. Doofenshmirtz-2: Well, it wasn't me. There is, however, another Doofenshmirtz. Candace-2: Vanessa! I knew it! Doofenshmirtz-2: No, no, not Vanessa. She's just in high school. And she doesn't show any aptitude for evil. As a parent, I'm really disappointed. No, I'm-I'm talking about the other other Doofenshmirtz. Charlene! (whip pan to a photo of Charlene-2) ♪ Bum bum bum! ♪ Candace-2: And who is that? Doofenshmirtz-2: Charlene Doofenshmirtz. She's my ex-wife. I-I guess you guys have never met. That kinda takes away the drama of the reveal. But it's her.
