Doctor Baljeet watched the dimensional portal generator as he waited for the resistance leader’s brothers and some of the other members to come back after saving their pet platypus, while the circle of strange portals remained on the monitor in front of him. He was making sure that nothing would go wrong so the other worldly kids he had met earlier that day would make it safely through.
A loud, constant beeping bounced around the room, the lights overhead turned a warning, deep red color as the monitor glowed the same color on the TV screen. The doctor instantly ran over to the TV and started punching in commands on the keyboard. He looked at the display and saw a huge rip spreading between the worlds, before another world popped out of it, just under two of the normal worlds that were supposed to be there. If his new friends were to use the remote, they would surely fall into the new opening, and into more just like it if the tear opened any more or spread. With that thought in mind, Balgeet went to work on fixing the tear.
Sweet Apple Acres was silent except for the tree leaves occasionally blowing in the wind, carrying the scent of the apples with it, that is until something opened up in the sky…shortly afterward, four forms spilled through it and quickly tumbled down towards the hard earth below.
Or they would if the thing they had fallen through had opened higher than the nearby tree house.
“OW!” one of the creatures proclaimed after they all had hit the ground in a clumped up mess, “Get off of me!”
“Sorry Candace!” another voice cried out, “I can’t…..Ferb could you move your leg forty-three degrees to you’re-” the voice didn’t get to finish as the creatures all sprung apart, each tumbling away in a different direction. The creatures slowly stood back up, their movements sluggish from confusion.
“Alright...this is new. The colors are similar, but it doesn't look like its dangerous. I think were close to-” one of them began, before a high pitched scream stopped him cold.
“Ph-Phineas! What’s happened to you and Ferb?!” Candace asked, staring at them.
“What are you…..” Phineas began, before he looked down at his leg and realized that he had changed. Looking up and around himself, he found that he and everyone else were colorful ponies. He sat down and looked at his body, as his stepbrother, Ferb, sat next to him and did the same.
He looked like he was a small orange colored colt, with the same, if fluffier and a bit longer, mane as his usual hair, the tail being the same length as his mane. He looked over at ferb, whose mane and tail were the same as his usual hair against his green coat.
Candace was trying to stay standing up, unaccustomed to walking on four legs. They were shaking as they were spread apart in four directions for balance. She was a full-grown pony with light yellow fur, a long flowing mane and tail streaked with different shades of orange, her tail just barely brushing the ground. A horn was situated in the middle of her head.
Perry put his hat back on and stared at the other three for a few seconds, before he realized he was looking down at the boys instead of up like he was used to as a platypus and inspected himself. He had sharp orange claws attached to his front legs, and his back legs ended in what he recognized as lion paws. The lion part of his body was his normal blue color, but the feathered, almost fluffy, part that began at his chest and went up his head was a light gray color, the feathers at the top of his head were highlighted orange, just like the tuft of fur at the end of his tail. He noticed a pair of wings attached to his sides, and after a few minutes, figured out how to extend them, the word griffon the only description he could use to identify himself as.
Phineas stood up after finishing his self examination, “This is odd.” he said.
Candace glared at him “You think this is odd, Phineas?” she asked from where she stood. “I had no idea. I think it is completely normal to turn into some sort of talking pony after going through dimensions to escape evil robots made by a pharmacist, it’s a normal day to me!” she exclaimed.
Phineas sighed, before he noticed something on his flank he had overlooked, “I think we might have brands on us,” he said A red wrench was branded proudly into the fur.
Fern had his own brands as well. Ferb had a brown hammer over a wooden board. Perry didn't have anything on his flank.
Cadences stared at him, “A what?” she asked, confused as she looked at her own. “My phone is on my butt. What is that about?”
Phineas shrugged, “I don't know what they mean but,” he looked around with a frown, before he looked up at the rip over his head, “Where is Dr. D?” he asked.
The rip shined a bright white, before something brown fell out and it disappeared with a small pop. Perry watched it, before his mind clicked and realized it was going to fall on his boys, and jumped up and ran towards them, “Watch out!” he yelled, before he shoved them out of the way. Before he could get away himself, the thing fell on him, involuntarily opening his wings and pinning him to the ground as he groaned. He sighed as the weight shifted off of him and something blocked the sun, even when his ears twitched at the sound of something breaking close by.
Cadences stared incredulously at Perry as he slowly stood up, “Did he just talk?” she asked, as he glanced at what had threatened to hurt Phineas and Ferb. It was a pony, to be precise. A full grown chestnut colored pony with a shock of brown mane and tail wearing a lab coat. He didn't have a brand on his flank like the others did, but he did have a horn like Candace.
“That last dimension was not fun at all, all giant bears it was just horrible.” The stallion complained, before stopping, “Everything is so colorful here whats up with that? All color, ponies and hybrid things, why are we ponies anyway how does that make any sense?” he asked, looking at the assembled party. He didn't get an answer, and he didn't really expect one either. Dr. D looked at them all with an amused grin, before Candace rolled her eyes at him and changed the topic.
“Did Perry just talk?” she asked again.
Phineas and Ferb looked at Perry as Candace stared at him, ignoring Doofenshmirtz as he continued to ramble nonsense. Perry, for his part, was just as confused and looked considerably unsure, before he tilted his head slightly, a confused expression etched on his face.
“No?” he said uncertainly, before his eyes widened at hearing his own voice. It sounded reasonably deep with a small but noticeable Australian accent.
“He sounds cute,” Candace said. “What?” "she asked, seeing the looks the others were giving her. “He does.”
“Aw, thats not fair!” Doofenshmirtz complained. “He has a better voice than me AND he’s a platypus, or at least was, and I made a voiceinator before!”
Perry rolled his eyes. “No you didn't.”
“Well maybe I was going to!” Doof retorted.
Candace hit herself in the face with a hoof. “Can we not focus on that please?! We need to get home, Phineas where is the remote?” she asked, turning to face him.
Phineas looked at the ground and around him before turning his attention back up. “I don't know Candace, I had it in my hand...er, I guess now it would be hoof, before.”
"That's fantastic," Candace said sarcastically.
Doofenshmirtz moved and a sharp amount of pain shot up his front leg. He froze, and lifted his hoof to his face. Small metal parts were stuck inside, while the rest of the crushed device were on the ground next to him, “Oh uh...I think I might have...broken it. Woops.”
Candace groaned, “Now what do we do?!” she exclaimed.
“All we need to do is find new parts,” Ferb replied.
Phineas smiled. “Yeah, it can't be too hard!”
Candace frowned. “We can't let other people see us like this Phineas! They would run screaming, or...”
“Attack!!” three small female voices yelled as something came out of the treehouse beside them and jumped on Candace. The weight sent Candace to the ground, while Phineas and Ferb stared. Doofenshmirtz started into a fit of maniacal laughter after Perry fell onto his back after he failed spectacularly at getting into his usual fighting stance due to not calculating the extra weight in his surprise.
