  And Agent P heaved a sigh of relief as he snuck into the shadows.

  To say that downtown Danville was a complete disaster area is putting it mildly. The baseball stadium had been smashed to bits, and food trucks and cars had crashed everywhere following Mama’s destructive rampage. There were crowds of people all over, wondering how they had gotten wherever it was they were.

  In the thick of it all were the kids.

  “Yay, you did it!” Phineas shouted to his sister.

  “Yes, yes, yes, something switched places with a chicken,” Candace said.

  Honk!

  “Candace, look! It’s your mom!” Stacy said. “If your mom sees it, she’ll know you’ve been telling the truth—about everything!”

  Candace grinned and ran toward the car.

  “Mooooooooom!” she shouted.

  The car screeched to a stop.

  “Candace, what are you doing downtown?” her mom asked.

  In that moment, Candace realized that her mom had stopped short of seeing the chaos caused by the aliens. If she drove ahead even a little further, she would turn the corner and see everything.

  “It’s Phineas and Ferb,” Candace said.

  “What did they do now?” Mom asked, rolling her eyes.

  Grinning, Candace looked back at her brothers. “They really want pizza for dinner. But from Giametti’s, on the other side of town. So go that way. You gotta turn around!”

  “Okay,” Mom said, puzzled.

  “Where’s Mom going?” Phineas asked.

  “She’s getting us pizza,” Candace replied.

  “Sweet,” Phineas said.

  Screech!

  Mom hit the brakes and leaned out the car window.

  “What are you kids up to?”

  “Ahh, just the usual,” Candace said as she put her arms around Phineas and Ferb. “Us against the universe.”

  “Okay,” Mom said. “See you at home.”

  At last, Mom drove off.

  Candace smiled at her brothers as they walked through the ruins of downtown Danville.

  “You know, this morning I thought you guys were the bane of my existence,” she said. “It’s amazing how an afternoon of blasting aliens can really change your perspective.”

  As they walked along, the kids had a strange feeling that they were being followed.

  Looking around, they saw a familiar web-footed, orange-beaked friend approaching.

  “Oh, there you are, Perry,” Phineas said.

  The end!

  Meanwhile, on Feebla-Oot, things were not so good if your name rhymed with “Super Super Big Doctor.”

  Or, you know, if it was Super Super Big Doctor.

  Mama had suddenly appeared on the planet and, in one big, gross motion, hawked up the alien leader from its inside. Then the giant plant shrank and shriveled until it was only the size of a tiny sapling.

  “Ohhh, Mama!” Super Super Big Doctor cried. “At least you’re not completely destroyed!”

  Wham!

  From above, a space elephant fell, smashing what was left of Mama.

  “Never mind.”
