Chapters Hey Ferb, I know who we're gonna be today!
Chapter 1: Very Pony indeed
"Ferb! I can't believe it! We've been transformed into...ponies? How is this possible?!" An earth pony with a red mane and orange coat said to his green coated and green haired step-brother. Ferb just shrugged. He's a man of a few words. Their older sister, Candace, was furious. Out of all the crazy inventions they made during summertime, this was by far the craziest!
"You two are soooo busted as soon as I find out how to get out of here! How'd you make a portal to a pony world in the first place?"
Phineas tapped his chin, realizing he doesn't really have one. He sighs, then remembers the events that happened earlier. "Well," he starts, "It all happened when I wanted to something nice for Isabella..."
***
It was another nice day in Danville. The flowers were blooming and the sun was shining on a once again hot day. Phineas and Ferb were chilling under a tree,as usual, thinking of interesting inventions to make the day more "fun." Phineas remembers Isabella mentioning something about unicorns back then. He didn't get a chance to let her see one, though. That's when a lightbulb flashed over his head.
"Ferb, I know what we're going to do today! We're finally going to let Isabella see a unicorn. I know exactly how!"
Isabella is one of Phineas's next door neighboor and friend. He doesn't know that she's crushing on him BIG TIME! And even when she leaves clues for him to pick up, he still is too wrapped up in his inventions to pay any attention. As if by magic, Isabella, Buford, and Baljeet enter the backyard.
"Hey Phineas, whatcha doin'?" Isabella states her darling little catchphrase.
"Remember when you wanted to see a unicorn instead of a rainbow? And how I never got the chance to do it for you," she nods, "Well, today is your lucky day. We're going to build a portal and look for a unicorn dimension!"
"You'd do that...for me?" she asks, hoping the answer is...
"Yes!" Phineas exclaims. Isabella nearly faints. She couldn't believe Phineas would do something so nice for her. It was so unbelievable, so sudden, so...romantic.
"Woah...woah...woah," Buford interupts Isabella's thoughts, "So you do something nice for her everyday! What, you have a crush on her for something?"
"WHAT?!" Phineas and Isabella exclaim, both almost as pale as a white wall.
Buford laughs, "You should'a seen the looks on your faces. Priceless!"
Phineas laughs too, while Isabella is still traumatized. So sudden indeed...
One hour later
"Well, it's one hour later but I- hey, where's Perry?" Phineas asks, interrupting himself.
Everyone looks around and shrugs. Candace was watching them from her window. She opened it.
"What do you think you're doing?! Mom left me in charge, so I can bust you all I want."
"We're going to look for a unicorn dimension for Isabella! You wanna come with?" Phineas called out.
In a matter of seconds, Candace was down there, "No way, Jose! There is no way I'm going to follow you into some lame unicorn land. Next thing you know, there will be flying pegasi with rainbows for hair and a regular pony that wears a cowgirl hat!"
Baljeet rolled his eyes, "That is not scientifically possible."
"Unicorns are not scientifically possible!" she shot back.
"Suit yourself! Come on guys! Into the portal!" Phineas says, turning on the portal.
When the destination is set, everyone steps in. Candace, not sure what to do, jumps in as well. Just then, a giant foot steps on the portal, smashing it to pieces.
***
"So that's how." Phineas finishes his story.
Candace face-hoofed and sighed. She couldn't believe that her brother thought of doing something nice, yet so ridiculous for a girl, "Look, I get that you wanted to do something nice for Isabella. But this is just ridiculous! And how are we going to get home?"
"Don't worry Candace, the portal should show up on both sides of each...dimension?"
The gang turned around, only to find out that the portal was nowhere in there site. Phineas started to panic a little. Come on, Phineas, no need to panic. You'll find it...somehow. Just need to clear your head. he thought to himself.
Just as he did, a pink mare bounces cheerfully in their direction. She stops and a big, dopey, grin appears on her face.
"OOOOOH! NEW PONIES! HI, MY NAME IS PINKIE PIE! WELCOME TO PONYVILLE! ARE YOU EXCITED? I'M EXCITED! I'VE NEVER BEEN SO EXCITED! WELL, EXCEPT FOR THE TIME WHEN MY FRIEND BECOME A PRINCESS AND I WAS LIKE, 'ALICORN PARTY'! BUT REALLY-" Candace put a hoof to Pinkie's mouth.
"How in the world can you talk? Is that even normal?!" she asked in shock.
Baljeet rolled his eyes, "Candace, you didn't even realize that YOU'RE a pony and you're speaking pure English?"
Pinkie tilted her head, looking dumbfounded.
"What?" Baljeet asked.
"What kind of name is 'Candace'? Are you Chineigh or something?"
"Chi-what now?" Buford asked.
"Chineigh. You know, neigh hao! You ponies are weird. What's your names?"
"Well, I'm Phineas, this is Ferb, Isabella, Buford, Baljeet, and Candace," Phineas explained, "Are you really speaking English right now?"
"Well, duh! How would we be able to communicate with other ponies," Pinkie replied before grinning again, "Speaking of other ponies, you want to meet my friends?"
"Actually, we're here fro-" Phineas started.
"Great! I'm so happy that you finally get to meet them! Come on!" she said, while pulling them to the Golden Oak Library, where Twilight, the alicorn princess, lives.
"Wait! We don't even know you!" Isabella exclaimed.
"Oh, that's easy! I'm Pinkie Pie! I throw parties and make the best cupcakes in all of Ponyville!"
She stopped and turned around to look at the ponies, "I forgot! Where are you from?"
Phineas looked at his friends then back at Pinkie. "We're from Danville, USA."
Pinkie, once again, was confused. "What's the 'USA'?"
Ten Minutes Later
"Twilight! I'm back! And I brought some new ponies with me!" Pinkie exclaimed throughout the room.
Phineas and the gang stood there in shock. There were pegasi, a regular pony, a unicorn, AND a pegasus unicorn pony all playing a game of "Monopony." What surprised Candace was that there WAS a pegasus with rainbow hair and a pony with a hat on. She nearly fainted.
"Pinkie, how many times do I have to tell you: Stop bringing random ponies here!" Twilight shouted.
"Sorry, they ran into me on the street- well, technically I did- but they looked lost so I brought them here so that you can help them find a place to stay," Pinkie looked at the shocked humanized ponies, "Oh where are my manners? Lemme introduce you to my friends. She's Twilight Sparkle-"
"Hi."
"Fluttershy-"
"Um...hello..."
"Rarity-"
"Hello, darlings."
"Applejack-"
"Howdy!"
"And the most awesome pegasus pony that ever lived, Rainbow Dash!"
"Hey, 'sup?"
"And I'm Pinkie Pie!" Pinkie shouted.
Baljeet ran through the names one more time, then turned to Twilight, "Um...how come your names are made of adjectives, and Rainbow...Dash, is it? has an adjective and a verb?"
"Well, that's how everypony is named. Shouldn't you have known this already?" she asked.
"Everypony ?" Baljeet was confused.
"Are you guys even from Equestria?" Rainbow asked.
Pinkie chimed in, "No way! They're from the 'USA' or something! They came from a different dimension. And guess what, Twilight? They're from the human world, like the one you traveled to. Although, I'm not sure if it's the same one. They have really funny names. They're called Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, Buford, Baljeet, and Candace."
"Intriguing," Twilight said, "How exactly did you travel here?"
"Uh...hehehe...funny story..." Phineas said.
After explaining for about 5 minutes
"That was...very interesting." Rarity said.
Isabella turned around and saw something on her flank. It was the Fireside Girls logo for a cutie mark. But she didn't know that just yet.
"Hey, um...what's this?" she asked, turning around, showing her flank.
"That? It's a cutie mark, sugarcube. It represents your destiny or your special talent," Applejack explained, showing her own.
"Cutie mark, huh," Baljeet asked, "How do these things appear exactly. Does it show up when you're born? How do you know if it's your destiny? Why-"
"Great. More eggheads do deal with in my life." Rainbow muttered.
"Rainbow be nice," Twilight said, turning to the other ponies, "We have so much to teach you. But first, you need a place to stay at...have you ever tried to Maretel?"
"What?!" The gang asked.
This was going to be a long afternoon
Author's Note
I decided to write a story about my two favorite cartoon shows of all time. So sit back, relax and enjoy the story. And yes...I will update Truth or Scare in the near future. Sorry for such a rushed chapter by the way.. I was originally going to type my homework but I came up with a cool crossover episode thing and my parents were around so I had to rush through it. Not my best work but it's worth a shot. I'm going to edit this chapter to be.more specific so don't worry.
EDIT: Yeah...nothing else to say.
Hey Ferb, I know who we're gonna be today!
Chapter 2: Sweet Apple Bakers
Chapter 2: Sweet Apple Bakers
Author's Note: Each chapter will have funny names like this such as: Cloudsbale . And yes, they will match the chapter.
Twilight put RD and AJ in charge of taking them to the Maretel, since those two were arguing something fierce. While the others found it very annoying, Buford didn't seem to care. He saw those two had a special flare, but he couldn't quite put his han- erm...hoof on it. Phineas's stomach started to growl louder than a Timberwolf. He tapped on Applejack.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I'm really hungry. Do you guys have any chicken or burgers or french fries?"
Applejack looked at him like he had two horns and laughed, "Ah forgot you was a human bein' before! Sorry hon, but you just gonna haf'ta eat hay and oats for a while," her eyes lit up, "But-"
"But?" Phineas asked.
"Here we go," Rainbow Dash said as she rolled her eyes.
Applejack glared at her until she remembered what she was about to say, "We have the finest apples in town. Ma family owns the farm here, Sweet Apple Acres. It's where ah grew up as a filly. Care to visit? It's still early in the afternoon."
Buford snapped out of his daydreaming when he heard her say 'Care to visit?'. He nodded eagerly like a crazed dog. This was his chance to make an impression on the farm pony as well as her athletic companion.
On the way to the farm, Candace realized that they were letting two ponies they barely knew leading them to a house. Her mom told her to avoid these kind of situations, so she stopped. Everypony turned around to look at her, stopping themselves too.
"No way! I'm not letting two ponies we barely know to drag us into some kind of...death trap. My mature and responsible sister senses tell me so."
"Candace, they're nice ponies. You should know that. They're only trying to help." Isabella reassured her.
"Oh please! You know, this is all your fault, Phineas and Ferb! You build some crazy dangerous invention and look at where it takes us. Even Perry knows he has to stay at home all the time."
OOMPH!
"Ugh...my head," Dr. Doofenshmirtz said, rubbing the back of his hand with his hoof. When he looked around, he immediately jumped up. Ponies...ponies everywhere. It worked! It worked! he thought as he looked around.
"Haha! My Pony-inator worked! I've transformed the whole town of Danville into ponies!" he exclaimed, jumping around. Some ponies looked at him like he was hi or drunk or something.
"Ugh...where am I?" a voice groaned.
"I did it! I did it! I-" Dr. D gasped, "Perry the platypus? You're a pony? "
"What are you-" the voice stopped and looked at his feet. Hooves. He looked at his mouth. Muzzle. He ran to the nearest mirror and gasped. Perry was no longer a platypus, but a pony.
***
I know what you're thinking: I wanted Perry to stay a platypus! Why keep him as a boring platypus who can't even talk (as much as I love his character) when you could have a pony to discuss his feelings and fight crime even better? Am I right or am I right?
***
Perry grinned, "I guess I am, aren't I?" His voice was a deep, black person type kind of voice. Anypony who heard it would have swooned, even the stallions. This did not please Dr. D one bit.
"Hey how come you get a nice voice? I'm stuck with a...a German accent of some sort. But anyway...I did it! Ha! You weren't quick enough with destroying my -inator, you heavenly voiced you!"
"You...do realized I dropped it down your balcony and you started chasing me around with a giant foot robot. You stepped in someone's backyard and after that, a light shone so bright, we disappeared from home. Besides, the buildings here are more like cottages than skyscrapers." Perry explained, unamused to how the Dr. didn't see that coming.
"Huh. Didn't see that coming."
"You didn't see this either."
"What are you-" BAM! RIGHT IN DA FAAACE!
Doofenshmirtz was knocked out of balanced as Perry bucked his chest hard. I can get used to this, he thought as Doof tried to get back up. The ponies saw this action, excitement and fear shining through their eyes as they yelled.
"FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"
And so they did, not realizing two mares would stop the fight...as soon as a bothersome Candace gets off their backs.
"For the last time, Phineas. TAKE. ME. HOME! I need to bust you!" Candace cried.
"I can't! I don't know where the machine went! Something must have happened to it!" Phineas protested.
"Ugh! For Celestia's sake, would you two SHUT UP and move on?!" a frustrated Rainbow Dash yelled.
"I am so in love with her right now." Buford said.
"What?"
"Nothing!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
"Wait a sec...y'all here that?" Applejack asked. The others stopped what they were doing and listened carefully.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
"What the-" she saw two ponies fighting each other. "Come on, RD. There's somethin' goin' on over there."
"As long as I'm away from these two, I'm there." Rainbow said.
"So am I..." Buford said, practically floating off the ground, hearts in his eyes.
"No can do, lover boy. Y'all stay here and be safe. We'll take care of this." Applejack said.
How does she know?
"FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" The ponies chants were growing louder and louder.
"Hey, Perry the platy- erm... I mean, pony, they're cheering louder for us! I've never felt so loved!" Dr. D said as he was kicking Perry away from him. Perry just rolled his eyes and punched him in the jaw. That had to hurt...and it did.
"What in Tartarus is goin' on over here?" Applejack yelled.
Everypony stopped to see two mares, orange and cyan, entering the premises or however you spell that word.
"A fight?! Aw yeah! I'd like to see how this will turn out." Rainbow said, rubbing her hooves.
Applejack rolled her eyes, face-hoofed, then turned to the other two ponies, realizing she never met them before.
"Hey...are y'all new ta Ponyville...no lemme rephrase that...EQUESTRIA too?" Applejack asked.
"What's Equestria?" Dr. D asked.
The crowd looked at each other with confusion and muttered somethings to each other. Applejack sighed.
"Great. More new ponies." she muttered.
"Technically, we're humans. Well...he's supposed to be a platypus, but you never know, you know?" Dr. D explained.
"Humans?!" Lyra shouted from the crowd, looking around, "WHERE?!"
"Easy Lyra, there's only humanized ponies here." Rainbow called out.
"Awwww...I wanted an autograph." she pouted.
"Anyway," Perry said, "If you'll excuse us, I got a...um...uh erm...plot to beat? Is that it?"
"If you want the more inappropriate term, yes. However, this is a lovin' town and we can't tolerate other ponies beatin' up other...'ponies'," Applejack made a hoof quote-gesture, "So, stop biting his leg and follow me, got it?"
"But-"
"Now!" she stated firmly.
Perry stopped biting Doof's leg and got off the ground, Doof doing the same. They hung their heads low but glared at each other every chance they got. They joined the other group of ponies. Perry looked at them and sighed, then put his head down. That is, until he got a better look at them. They looked like...he gasped. Phineas looked at him.
"What's wro- do I know you?" he asked, tilting his head.
Perry quickly shook his head and put his hat over his face. This cannot be... he thought.
Suddenly:
"We're here!" Applejack exclaimed. Everypony gasped in awe at the sight. While there was a red barn, being painted by a buff red stallion, there were acres and acres of apple trees spreading across the plains. It was a beautiful sight. Well...Buford was staring at the two mares' which he thought were "beautiful sights."
Phineas's stomach started to growl even louder as he started to drool over the delicious apples in front of him. Baljeet wanted to grab a calculator and calculate the total number of trees and apples they had. Ferb was...Ferb. Isabella felt she was apple heaven, while Candace just scowled. Show off she thought.
"Hey Applejack! Rainbow Dash!" a little country filly yelled along side with her friends. Applejack smiled while Rainbow rolled her eyes. She knew what was coming.
"Rainbow Dash is here? OMC! Rainbow, it's me! Scootaloo!" an orange filly exclaimed.
"OMC ?" Isabella was confused.
The two fillies jumped on their sisters (sister-ish idle for Scoots.) while the white filly, Sweetie Belle, stared at the other ponies.
"Howdy AB! Hey Scoots! Hi, Sweetie! Had fun?" AJ asked.
"Sure as heck did! Ah- who are those ponies?" Applebloom finally notices the stallion, four colts, little filly, and the teenage mare. Scoots looks at them, too. Buford especially.
"Oh...um...they're here to help with the plumbing with your toilet! Yeah that's it!" Rainbow lied.
"But...isn't that what we have Big Mac for?" Applebloom points a hoof at her big brother.
"He...uh...couldn't do it. So...we hired them." Rainbow sputtered.
"And you need 8 of them?" Sweetie Belle asked in her squeaky tone.
"Why do you have all the questions?" Rainbow asked suspiciously.
"Why do you have all the answers?" Scootaloo did the same.
" 'Cause..."
" 'Cause?"
"Just 'cause! Now shoo! Go do your crusading or whatever." Rainbow shooed them away. The sun went "tick."
"Oh shoot! Ah just remembered! Pinkie asked me to bake 12 dozen apple pies for some party. Oh, but the afternoon's gonna end. Think you can give me a hoof, RD?" Applejack asked.
"Cider?" Rainbow grinned sheepishly.
"All out."
"Sorry. No can do. Besides, I promised Twi I would help her do the high-up chores in her library today," she shook her head, "I swear she needs to use those wings soon or they're going to drag her down. Laters!" Then Rainbow took off.
"I suppose...we could help you." Baljeet volunteered.
"Really? You'd do that?" Applejack asked.
"Well sure. Why not?" Isabella said.
"What? Wait-" Candace tried to protest.
"Y'all are the best!" Applejack exclaimed.
*sigh*
"Granny Smith wants me to clean the chicken coop, so Ah'm leaving you guys to the bakin'. The instructions are in the scroll right there," she said, pointing to the paper on the table, "Any questions?"
All their hooves shot up.
"Good! Get to it!" Then she was gone.
"It's a good thing I got my baking patch back as a Fireside Girl," Isabella said, showing off her cutie mark again, "Let's get to it!"
Ferb opened the instructions and read aloud:
What you need:
"Seems legit," Candace said, "Come on! Let's do this!"
"Wow, Candace. You wanted no part of the activity earlier, but all of a sudden you want to? Wow, you're finally learning." Phineas said, anger in his tone.
"Oooooh! Burn!" Dr. D said.
Perry elbowed his gut.
"What? I've always wanted to say that!"
"Phineas, I-" Candace started.
"Um, Candace. It's best if you leave him be." Isabella warned.
With a sigh, Candace went to work.
******
Within an hour, the pies were put in the oven. The kids, Perry, and Dr. D leave Buford in charge of watching the pies. They go find Applejack, who was entering the barn house.
"Y'all done already? Ah'm impressed. It's weird though, since ya never worked with hooves before." she said.
"I have to admit, it took a while to get used to it, but we managed. Buford is watching the pies in the oven, so I guess we are done." Baljeet explained.
"Y'all look thirsty. May Ah interest you in a drink?" she offered.
Everyone nodded.
"Alright, be right back. Apple juice comin' right up."
As she left, they saw an old lady rocking back and forth in her chair. It's best if they ignore her, rather than to disturb her peaceful slumber.
*Snore cough cough snore*
Well, almost peaceful.
Applejack came back with drinks served on a platter on her back. She carefully placed them on the table, making sure not one spilled. They stared in awe of how strong she was.
"Hey Applejack? In Twilight's library, I saw a treasure chest with gems on it with a sign that says: "Touch it, you die." What's in that box?" Phineas asked.
"Oh, that? The Elements of Harmony. They're what represents friendship. Honesty, loyalty, generosity, kindness, laughter, and magic."
"Magic? What does magic have to do with anything?" Baljeet asked.
"Ah'm not sure. You're gonna have to ask Twi. She's the element bearer of that one anyway."
"Element bearer?"
"Yeah, ya know: ownership. Ah'm honesty, Dash's loyalty, Rarity's generosity, Fluttershy's kindness, Pinkie's laughter,and Twi's magic. We all represent the elements because of how we proved each and every one of them."
Doof snickered, causing everyone to look at him.
"What's so funny?" Perry asked.
"It's weird, you know. The elements."
"How so?" asked Ferb.
"You can't be loyal without being honest. Like if you want to remain loyal to your friend, you gotta be honest to them no matter how tough it could be. And if your generous, you have to be kind enough. Good hearted and everything. But if that's how it is, I guess it's alright."
"For an idiot, you say true words." Perry said.
"Thanks! I guess..."
"It was a compliment."
"Huh," Applejack caused everyone to look in her direction, "Never thought about it like that before. Ah-*sniff sniff* y'all smell that?"
It smelled horrible. So smokey. So...apple-ish? Then everyone realized it.
"THE APPLE PIES!"
Granny woke from her sleep, "Shut up yer fugly rascals! I'm trying to sleep!"
Without even realizing her language, everypony ran into the kitchen. Buford had dozed off (he must've got bored) and there was smoke everywhere. Doof and Candace opened the windows and the back door. Perry went to open the front door. Isabella, Phineas, and Ferb grabbed fans with their mouths, plugged them in and turned them on. Applejack opened the oven and black smoked filled the room. It was at that point Buford woke up, coughing with everyone else.
When the smoke cleared, the apple pies were black...burned and...smelled like tofu. Yuck!
"Great! How am ah gonna tell Pinkie about this?" Applejack was upset.
"Just be honest with her. Isn't that your element?" Baljeet said with a smirk.
Applejack smiled and threw the pies in the garbage. She decided to finally take them to the Maretel room. What they didn't know was that the party was for them...
Author's Note
Okay I have to admit, the story didn't focus on the chapters name. But at least it was part of it. Just seeing how the story rolls out.
Edit: There, happy? I put the story on hiatus. Obviously, some people don't like my story. Plus, I need to raise my grade in math before report cards in November, so I'm really busy. I'm still planning on working on Truth or Scare, but only on Saturday. Actually, I think I'll put all my stories on hiatus until my poor writing skills (hint hint) get better. If you need me, you'll find me writing comments. If you read my VERY long comment earlier, I guess you're pretty pissed off at me. I am too. At me anyway.
Hey Ferb, I know who we're gonna be today!
Chapter 3: Golden "Croak" Library
After leaving the Maretel the next morning, Phineas and the gang decided to go to the Golden Oak Library, also known as Twilight's home. Since they could be stuck in Equestria for quite sometime, they decided to learn more about it from Twilight. Finally, they reached their destination, knocking on Twilight's door. Surprisingly, instead of Spike opening it, it was no other than Twilight herself.
"Oh! Welcome back! Come on in, make yourselves comfortable!" She led them in.
The gang walked in and took a good look around. Nothing was out of order, maybe a few books or so however. Phineas took a good look at Twilight who was reading a spell book. Not wanting the silence to continue, he called her name.
"Eh...Twilight?"
"Yes?"
"What are you doing?"
"Oh! How foalish of me! I'm studying a new spell that will turn objects into frogs! Unlike the last spell which turned objects into oranges-you weren't here-."
"I...see." Phineas nodded.
"What is it that you ponies do around here, anyway?" Candace asked, a little hint of irritation in her voice. Twilight picked this up quickly, but didn't turn away from the book.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"All I see you do is sell stuff on the streets, read, and other lame stuff. Don't you go to the mall or concerts or anything for fun?"
"I'm not really sure there are that many malls in Equestria, I rarely go to concerts, and of course we do things for fun! What are you talking about?"
Candace sighed, "Nevermind."
It was Doof's turn to speak up, "So, don't you have any evil scientists or anything like that?"
Twilight pondered at the thought, then shook her head, "We have evil villains, but not evil scientists. Villains are only here to over throw the princesses and rule all of Equestria, so not very likely."
"Rule all of Equestria?" Doof put a hoof under his chin as an evil grin spread across his face. Perry rolled his eyes and looked forward.
"Oh, yes. Equestria is very large nation and only Princess Celestia, alongside of her sister of course, rules it all. They're immortal, you know, so I doubt there will be another ruler anytime soon. And Princess Cadence rules the Crystal Empire, which is still part of Equestria, so..." Twilight trailed off.
"Somehow, 'Cadence' sounds so familiar to me, and so...different at the same time." Candace said to no one in particular. Ferb rolled his eyes but kept quiet.
"What about you Twilight?" Baljeet asked, "Don't you rule over a kingdom?"
There. Right there. That was the question Twilight was hoping they wouldn't bring up. She stopped reading to look at them, and each and everyone of them saw a traumatized pony in front of them. Baljeet took one step back, thinking that he might have said something terribly wrong. He began to apologize.
"Uh...sorry, I probably shouldn't have brought that up."
"It's..." Twilight sighed, "It's okay. No harm done. Really."
"Are you okay?" Isabella asked.
"I-I'm fine. Don't worry," she sighed to recollect herself, then forced a smile,"So, do you guys want to help me?"
Phineas looked at her questioningly, "With what?"
"I need one of you to bring me my fake pony dummy for a test subject and see if it turns into a frog!" Twilight clapped her hooves together, her usual sparkle returning to her eye.
"I'll do it! I don't want to stand around all day." Buford said. Trotting up the stairs, within a matter of seconds, he came back with a dummy in his mouth."Here you go."
"Thanks. Stand back, everypony, this might blind you a bit." Turning her head to see if they stood back, which they didn't, she sighed and tried again, "I mean, stand back, everybody ."
A chorus of "oh's" went around the room and everyone took a few paces back. Twilight mouthed "thank you" and focused her attention on the object in front of her. Closing her eyes, she created a purple magic aura around her horn and it blasted the dummy. However, it hit the eyes that was made of metal and it bounced back, receiving an "eep!" from Twilight at which she moved away from it hitting her. The magic then bounced onto the mirror on her table, one of her windows, and into a new direction so quickly, the Wonderbolts would have envied it. There was a bright light and Twilight covered her eyes not to become blind. When she looked back, there was ash were the other ponies stood. Twilight gasped.
"Oh no! Nonononono! They're gone! What happened to them? How did they disappear?" Twilight had tears in her eyes.
"Ribbit! Welcome to my world."
Twilight turned around and saw herself face to face with a green frog with dark blue eyes and...red hair? Well, do to the voice sounding feminine, she assumed it was...
"Candace?"
"The one and only." The frog replied sarcastically.
The others soon popped up from behind Candace and took a look at their new forms. First ponies, now this? How much more of this could they possibly take?
"You know, I'm actually starting to get used to changing now." Candace groaned, folding her arms.
"Great! Now I earned my "Become a frog" patch! Although, I am not quite sure this is what they meant..." Isabella said, looking at the large pink bow that was currently on the floor.
"Ribbit! " replied Ferb.
"Twilight, anyway you can, oh I don't know, CHANGE US BACK?!" Candace shouted, clearly not used to changing at all.
"Aw, Candace. Loosen up! It's actually kind of fun!" Phineas said, wiggling his suction-cup fingers.
"No! We're stuck in another dimension, no idea how to go back, and you want me to 'loosen up?'" Candace growled.
Phineas jumped back, "Um...yes?"
Before things got any uglier, Twilight stepped in, "Enough! I will change you back! I just need to find a counter spell. In the meantime, go out and find something to do!"
Cursing under their breaths, the gang hopped out the open door (Twilight opened it for them) and went into the busy streets of ponies. Phineas tried his best not to glance back at Candace, who was too busy looking around for an escape. Isabella saw this and wanted to reassure Phineas. Tell him everything is fine and that she was just upset. Confused. Angered. Homesick. They all were. But as usual, she got too caught up in the moment to say anything like that and focused on the path ahead.
"Well, what do you guys want to do? Because I'm so bored right now." Buford said plainly.
"We could always ask other ponies to help us fit in around here. We may be here forever, who knows?" Baljeet shrugged.
"What do you mean 'forever?' You mean, there's no going home?" Candace said alarmed, and with anger.
"I...guess." Baljeet said.
"WHAT?! You can't be serious! I'm never going to see my friends, my family, or Jeremy ever again!" She growled and turned to Phineas, pointing a finger at him, "YOU! You did this to us! You always want to make summertime the best time, but you never do it as a normal kid would! Always gotta ribbit! have some crazy invention come into your mind and do something extremely dangerous! I've had worse times, but this is downright outrageous! It's all your fault, Phineas! It's always your fault!"
Just then, a large jar scooped Candace up and dumped her into a basket.
"Candace!" The kids shouted.
"Oh my! All these frogs talk? How wonderful!" A yellow pegasus said, clapping her hooves together. There was something about her...she seemed so familiar. Before they could say anything, she grabbed all of them in a hoof-full and dumped them into a basket filled with a bunch of other frogs.
"Great! We've been frog-napped!" Doof exclaimed, throwing his arms up in the air.
"It can't be that bad." Perry said, after a long day of silence.
"I can't wait to take you all to Froggy Bottom Bog for your new lives! Oh, you're all going to love it there. My last trip was kind of scary, but they took out the big scary hydra anyway, so it's all good!" The pony exclaimed before flying off.
"Okay, maybe it is that bad."
Dumping the last frog into the...bog, Fluttershy sigh of relief told her what a great job she did, and soon, took off. The others, meanwhile, were holding their noses and gagged at the smell.
"It reeks!" Isabella complained.
"I'm used to it." Baljeet shrugged, "I've been put in gym lockers smellier than this."
The gang shuddered at the thought of Baljeet passing out in a locker like that. Candace just remained quiet, the smell not even bothering her as she sat on a log and stared at her reflection. Phineas sighed and looked at Ferb, who made a gesture for him to talk to her. Hopping over, he sat and scooted next to Candace.
"Mind if I sit here?"
"Doesn't matter. This is our new home after all." She sighed as a tear ran down to her cheek, "It will always be our new home."
Phineas winced. It was not like Candace to become so upset like this. She was a drama queen, sure, but...this was different. This was a whole new side to Candace he had never seen before. It was almost as if someone had taken away the greatest thing in the world. He looked at his own reflection in the water.
"Candace, I-"
"Phineas?" Isabella called, with a lot of worry in her voice.
"Not now, Isabella."
"T-Turn around."
"Why would I-?"
Before he could finish, he turned around and was face to face with an alligator which, eventually, roared in his face.
"RUN!" Phineas shouted. He grabbed Candace and hopped into the water, with the others following behind. The alligator was hot on their heals, as he too dove into the water and swam to eat his dinner.
Perry, being a semi-aquatic mammal his entire life up until now, grabbed Isabella and the others and swam as fast he could. Phineas still had Candace wrapped around his arm. Paddling as fast as he could, he tried to swim away from the gator. Then, he bumped into a rock, catching him off guard and he accidentally flung Candace to the other side of the bog, where Perry had everyone else safe.
"Where's Phineas?" Isabella asked.
"He's...with...the...gator!" Candace gasped for breath.
"What?!?!"
Meanwhile, Phineas' head was hurting way too much for him to continue swimming forward. The gator crept up to him opening his jaw wide enough to snatch the little critter and gobble him up. Just as all hope was lost...
The gator randomly passed out and fell deeper into the water.
Confused, Phineas swam up to the surface to see a purple faced pony on the other side with the yellow faced one. The gang was also there, cheering when they saw Phineas' face pop up.
"Twilight! What are you doing here?" Phineas croaked-shouted.
Levitating him back to safety, Twilight explained, "I was looking for you guys everywhere and I saw Fluttershy coming towards the library. I asked if she's seen a few talking frogs and she said she has, and that she put them here. When I told her it was you guys, she panicked and, well...we flew here. Then I saw most of you over there and that you said Phineas was being attacked by a gator. So I used the knock-out spell on him and...well, you know the rest." Twilight blushed lightly, "I was so worried about you guys."
"I'm so sorry! I didn't know you guys were the talking frogs! Why didn't you tell me?" Fluttershy asked.
"Um...we...panicked?" Phineas lied. Fluttershy didn't notice.
"Oh, okay. Well, um...warn me next time."
"Come on," Twilight said, "We gotta get you back to the library so that I can cast the counter spell."
***
After finally turning back into ponies, Phineas and the gang waved goodbye to Twilight and started their way back to the Maretel. Phineas looked at Candace who hung her head down and looked sad.
"Candace," he said finally, "About what you said earlier..."
"I'm sorry, Phineas," She cut him off, "I shouldn't have snapped at you like that. Just a little homesick, I guess."
Phineas nodded in understanding, "It's okay. And...I'm sorry, too."
"For what?"
"For not being the normal little brother you want me to be."
Candace winced at that, "Phineas, if you want to make me happy...just keep doing what you're doing. I guess I never realize how much more exciting you make summer for me, even though it drives me crazy 24/7," she chuckled, "I don't want you to become a normal brother just to make me happy. I just want...you and Ferb. Be yourselves. You know what would really make me happy right now?"
A smiling Phineas looked at his sister admiringly, "What?"
Candace's stomach growled in response, "Some of Mom's apple pie."
"I think Applejack might have a few left over at her place. Should we go there?" Ferb suggested.
"I think we shall."
Candace pulled her brothers in for a hug, not letting them go for the rest of the way to Sweet Apple Acres.
Author's Note
Whooo! Finally, I'm glad to be back on this story! It felt like forever since I'd type this thing up! I kinda forgot it existed for a while, after trying to finish up Truth or Scare (spoilers: it will have a sequel!) and everything, so...yeah.
Man, I haven't even caught up with the latest Phineas and Ferb shows in like...2 months! This website has kept me away from it 24/7! I just finished catching up to reading "Green" by Steel Resolve. Don't ask me how long it took me to catch up...just saying.
Anyway, tell me what you think about. Tell your mom, your grandma, your great-grandma, I don't care! Just tell anyone what you think about it right now!
Hey Ferb, I know who we're gonna be today!
Chapter 4: Cutie "Patch" Crusaders
Isabella decided today would be a perfect day to go out and get some fresh air. Just being cooped up in the Maretel with Candace's constant complaining is driving her nuts, and the boys were just trying to find a way out. However, being the second youngest of the group (next to Phineas), she actually enjoyed Equestria. It was such a peaceful place, with a lot of adorable creatures and happy-go-lucky days. If only life were that simple in the U.S.
Walking down the street, the small filly took in a deep breath as it filled her nostrils with the aroma of breads, cupcakes, apples, and dirt. What delightful smells indeed. The florist, Rose, was giving away free roses, and offered Isabella one. Taking it, she (without a problem) puts it in her mane and smiles. It was such a perfect morning.
Then chaos erupted.
As she was walking to the park, 3 familiar fillies were swinging from a rope on the tree and crashed right into her. Poor Isabella was paralyzed, she didn't even have time to blink until the impact hit her. Groaning, she rubbed the back of her head and was about to talk some sense into the girls until she recognized them.
"Ya know, Scootaloo, the next time we go crusadin', Ah'm choosin' what we're gunna do." a young filly with a country twang growled.
"Oh yeah, I bet it'll be totally amazing." remarked the young pegasus sarcastically.
The youngest among them, a white unicorn filly, looked at Isabella who was watching the scene unfold before her eyes.
"Ohmigosh, miss! Are you okay?" Sweetie Belle asked, worried and afraid she would be told on.
"I'm fine...my head just hurts." Isabella replied, reassuringly.
"We were just tryin' a new crusadin' idea, but Miss I-Can-Barely-Fly here, got us in trouble. Again." The farm-pony sighed and glared at Scootaloo.
"Hey! You went along with it! I wasn't the only one for the idea!" Scootaloo snapped.
Isabella was confused, "Crusading?"
"We're the Cutie Mark Crusaders! And we crusade for our cutie marks!" Sweetie Belle squeaked. Then she pointed to her rump to show nothing but a blank white spot. Isabella looked at hers to see a heart with a sash around it and a bunch of patches. How did she miss that?
"Oh, you mean this?" Isabella asked.
"Yeah, don't ya know what a cutie mark is?" Apple Bloom asked, confused.
"I'm not from here. I came from a different...er, dimension." Isabella said sheepishly.
"Weird. How come you get a cutie mark and you don't know what it is?" Scootaloo growled, staring at it.
"Um...what are they for anyway?"
"They show your true destiny, or your talent. Everyone in our class has one but us." Sweetie Belle sighed.
"We're tryin' to find out what our special talents are, so that we can fit in." Apple Bloom admitted.
"Yeah, and that we can be as cool as Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo exclaimed.
"Scootaloo, not all of us look up to Rainbow Dash." Apple Bloom deadpanned.
"Everyone should, though..." Scootaloo muttered under her breath quietly.
"Maybe I can help!" Isabella chirped.
"You? How? After all, you don't know how you earned yours."
"Yes I do. I am the leader of the Fireside Girl Troop 46321, and if there is one thing we are best at, it's earning badges!" Isabella said proudly.
"Earning badges? Like a Filly Scout?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Yes, ma'am! I've earned a lot of my badges through hard work, sweat, and Phineas!"
"Phineas? You mean the orange colt from yesterday?" Apple Bloom asked.
"He's kinda cute." Sweetie blushed.
"BACK OFF, BUB, HE'S MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Isabella growled.
Confused by the sudden outburst, the girls stepped back a little as Isabella calmed down a bit.
"Sorry, my crush instincts are going overboard." she said, embarrassed.
"I know how you feel..." Sweetie Belle said, as a certain chocolate coated colt came up in her thoughts.
"No time to think about your boyfriend now, Sweetie Belle." Scootaloo teased, "This filly is going to teach us all she knows about earning patches!"
"By the way, what's yer name?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Isabella..."
"That's an odd name...Hey! We can call you Fireside! After all, it matches your cutie mark." Apple Bloom said excitedly.
Isabella nodded, "I like the side of that.
**Meanwhile**
Phineas and the gang were creating blueprints to create a portal to go back home. Rarity was passing by when she caught a glimpse of this and came over to see what the commotion was about.
"Oh, we're just building a portal to go back home." Phineas explained, adding some adjustments onto the paper.
"So soon?" Rarity asked, "But your company here has been quite delightful!"
"...We haven't even been here a full week." Phineas muttered.
"Oh, but darling, the girls and I seem quite fond of you actually. I mean, one of Twilight's spells failed once again, Applejack's pies were burnt to crisps, Pinkie Pie turned into Pinkamena at the party...actually, those are bad examples." Rarity pondered.
"Gee, glad we could help." Candace rolled her eyes, "Listen, lady-"
"Rarity, if you please."
"Rarity, we appreciate that you guys want us to stay, but the rest of us want to go home. This isn't where we belong, and our folks are probably worried about us. I hope you understand."
"...I see." Rarity said, looking at the blueprint, "Well, if you're going build a contraption like that, I know a few gentlecolts that will give you a few supplies to start you off. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a dress to design for a client."
"Wait, you design outfits?" Candace asked.
"Only the best in Ponyville, and quite possibly Canterlot."
"Canterlot?"
"The capitol of Equestria. It's where the princesses live."
"PRINCESSES?!"
"Oh yes, the rulers of Equestria. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, that is. Princess Cadence lives in The Crystal Empire. She's married to the prince, Shining Armour, Twilight's brother."
"TWILIGHT HAS A PRINCE BROTHER?! AND LIVES IN AN EMPIRE MADE OF CRYSTALS?!"
"Even the ponies are made of crystals, although they seem kind of soft for something so hard. I just had to touch their coat..." Rarity trailed off.
"Forget going home! I want to visit the royal people! Er, mules, I mean, ponies, whatever!"
"Tomorrow we're going to Canterlot to visit the princesses. Would you like to come with?" Rarity asked.
"Do I!" Candace exclaimed as she trotted with Rarity to her boutique. Phineas tried to call her back.
"Candace, wait! What about the...portal?" he sighed.
"Dude, you lost your sister to some pony." Buford said.
"A quite attractive one if you ask me. Meeeeeeooooowwww!" Doof meowed.
Everyone looked at the mad scientist with disgusted looks on their faces.
"What?"
***
Isabella didn't realize how much fun she was having until now. Her and the CMC were having the best time of their lives. They swam under the sea to look at mermares and mercolts (with snorkles of course), then they went sight-seeing on top of the tallest hill in town. Then they ate at the all-you-can-sweet buffet at Sugarcube Corner. Now, Isabella was telling them about everything they do for fun in the US.
"So ya guys have these boxes that give you all types of shows and movies, like you would see at a theater here?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Yep. We call it a television. We basically have this remote and it lets us change channels to watch what we want." Isabella said.
"Wow, Fireside, your world is really cool!" Scootaloo exclaimed.
"It's like what Twilight told us when she went to another dimension. Only...different!" Sweetie Belle said.
"Ah can't believe ya even have a device that lets you talk ta people whenever ya want!" Apple Bloom shouted.
"Yep, cell phones and phones are awesome. Though, it would be pretty hard to text with hooves." Isabella chuckled.
"I bet love comes easily in that world, too." Sweetie Belle said.
"Easy for you to say, everyone here seems lovable. In my world, so many people are oblivious to if someone likes them, loves them, or not." Isabella sighed.
"Well, in this world, that happens too." Sweetie Belle sighed.
"You like someone?" Isabella asked.
"O' course she likes someone. His name is Button Mash." Apple Bloom said.
"Yeah, they meet at Sugarcube Corner every week and they go to his house and make out there." Scootaloo teased, making kissy faces. Apple Bloom joined in, much to Sweetie's dismay.
"Do not!" she growled.
"Do too!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Do not times one million!"
"Do too times infinity and beyond!"
Sweetie Belle crossed her arms and pouted, "I hate it when you guys do that."
Isabella chuckled, "So, what's your problem with Button Mash?"
"He's so oblivious to everything. I try dropping hints but it still doesn't work. I just wish he would really like me."
"I feel ya, sister." Isabella said, "Phineas never pays attention to me. And even when I drop hints, only his brother Ferb picks them up. I feel like it's hopeless. Although, we used a time machine to go to the future and I found out I was going to be an aunt!"
Sweetie Belle giggled. "It's nice to have someone to talk to, even though you're like a year older than us."
Apple Bloom nodded, "Our sisters never sit us down and talk to us like this. It's usually 'Don't Do This' lectures."
Scootaloo crossed her arms, "I don't even have a sister."
Isabella chuckled, "Well then, consider me as your friend and sister."
As if on cue, the girls all hugged Isabella, much to her astonishment.
"Ah like you, Fireside. You're better than any other filly I've met." Apple Bloom said.
"Hey!" Sweetie and Scootaloo exclaimed.
"Well, besides these guys anyway." She giggled.
"I hope you never leave here!" Sweetie said.
"I hope so, too. Hey, why don't you introduce me to Button Mash?" Isabella asked.
"That's a great idea! To Button's house we go!"
