16. Transformation Four: The Glowing Mirror (1/2)

a/n: okay, i know for a fact that this is the chapter everyone's been waiting for. it probably should've been put up earlier, but i wanted to wait for a while. but it's here now, so rejoice! yay! anyway, here it is!

it wasn't until then that everyone realized how odd eight people together at the mall looked, but they all had excuses.

candace needed a new cell phone.

izzy was looking for a new dress.

ferb needed to get out more.

jeremy came with candace.

vanessa was bored.

phineas had inventor's block.

buford came for the food.

and baljeet got dragged along with them.

so there they were, the eight of them, walking through the googolplex mall. it looked very interesting indeed. "so, where to first?" ferb asked. his hoodie was pulled down so low no one could see his face, and everything he said sounded muffled. luckily, he didn't talk all that much anyway.

"how about... home?" asked baljeet in a rather annoyed tone.

"you know, you didn't have to come, 'jeet," phineas pointed out.

"you kidding?" baljeet replied, "buford practically dragged me!"

"buford..." isabella rolled her eyes.

"what? you guys all

ought someone, so i assumed you would

eak into pairs and i'd be left all alone in the mall!" buford argued.

at that moment six faces turned

ight red (well, five, but ferb's would've been red had he had any blood).
