Excerpt from: Phineas and Ferb: Candace and the Editor
As they entered the school, Candace and Dani were joined by Stacy and Jenny.

“Are these your friends?” Dani asked.

“Yes. Stacy Hirano and Jenny Brown,” Candace said.

“Hi Dani!” Stacy said. “I suppose your night with the Flynn-Fletchers was interesting?”

The theatre was one of many within AAUA’s sprawling campus. Freya was thankful for that, as she and several other first years at Sigrun Sigrudottir Hall were involved in the latest production. But then the sabotage began.

“Danielle!” she said. She looked at Alex, who was dressed in an overwhelming amount of pink.

Alex noticed the look. “This is how I express myself.”

“It’s just that, it’s a little overwhelming.”

Alex was annoyed. “Get used to it!”

Olivia finds a message in her email, similar to the one from the previous year, on the last day again. This time, she is determined to uncover whatever is going on in AAUA that shouldn’t.

They then stood still for about a minute.


The sounds stopped. ‘But that doesn’t mean that we’re safe,’ Freya thought as she fidgeted with a silent fidget cube in her pocket.

Quinn returned to where Daria was at home plate. “We’re almost ready.”

“Good, because the stadium is now empty,” Daria said.

“Yeah, he might just get away,” Quinn said.

“You better fill me in on this plan,” said a newcomer, Officer Peterson.

“Of course,” Daria said.


Peterson thought about Quinn and Daria’s plan. ‘It seems that Quinn can’t act as SpiderGirl because Daria and others are here. And the same for Daria, that she can’t act as Dafoanairi either, but they haven’t let that stop them trying.’ The plan wasn’t foolproof, but she was sure that she would be able to arrest whoever it was. “Go ahead,” she said.

“Let’s play ball!” Trent said.

“Really?” Jamie asked.

“Don’t they say that?” Trent asked.

“It’s just ‘Play Ball!’” Quinn explained.

“Is it?” Trent asked. “We Lane’s haven’t really focused on sports other than running.”

“Yes,” Daria said. “A bit difficult to ignore baseball, even when we were in Texas.”


Rhea returned to the booth. “And now up for batting! The Morgendorffers and the Investigators!”

“I still, like, think it should have had a different name,” the Enigma grumbled.

“It takes me a while to come up with something creative,” Daria responded.

“Same here,” Quinn said. “But we should focus.”

“Batter up!” Daria said.


The stadium lights flickered again.

“Ooh…” Rhea began.

“She’s hamming it up,” Peterson commented.

“Can’t blame her,” Trent commented.


The ghost then appeared at the pitcher’s mound.

“There he is!” Daria murmured.

Quinn took up position at the plate and moved the bat into a bunt position.

“No more games!”

‘Is that all you’re going to say?’ Daria thought. “Now!”

“Rome,” Daria considered as she examined another frame of the ghost abducting Jamie.

“Huh?” Rhea asked.

“More specifically, the Colosseum.”

“What would gladiators have to do with this?” Rhea asked.

“More to do with the design of the Colosseum. It had lower levels from where gladiators or animals could appear from elevators,” Daria explained.

“So, you think this is a similar system?”

“Yes.”

“That the teams could appear from below?” Rhea asked.

“With what I have found out about Lawndale’s past so far, I wouldn’t put it past the local Minor League to experiment.”

“With the actual gameplay, that doesn’t make sense.”

Daria thought about it. “Maybe it would allow for quick substitution of players.”

“Right, now it makes more sense.”

“And now it’s giving someone the perfect means to disrupt a game and attract Lawndale’s heroine vigilantes.”


Meanwhile, Ninja Talon received the message from SpiderGIrl.

Talon: I’ll head there now.

Spidey: Thanks. Be aware, that Daria has called in the Enigma too.

Talon: Be careful.

Spidey: I will 😊


Quinn put the phone back in her pocket as she heard something. ‘The Enigma and Jamie, around a corner ahead,’ she thought. She then walked carefully away from the opening.


Trent looked around, the stadium was almost empty. He looked to where Daria was in the broadcast booth with the journalist. ‘She’s sure to have found something.’

Sanctification - It is done.
Justification - a life long process
Glorification - The eternal state; free from the presence of sin.
Each of them quickly found their seats.

Daria and Quinn’s seats were to the right of the first base, with Trent and Jamie’s to the left of third.

“We have a good view at least,” Daria said to Quinn over her phone.

“Therefore, one or more of us should see where the ghost would appear from.”

“I sure that we’ll see something.”

“The teams are coming out now, call you later.”

Daria put the phone away and focused on the field around the pitcher’s mound.


The game started well enough, but the ghost appeared nearly fifteen minutes after the initial pitch.

“Returning after last night, the ghost is interrupting the game.”


Quinn was in a position such that she noticed something right before the ghost appeared.

But she wasn’t the only one.


Immediately, the game was halted and the announcer soon started directing people to leave the stadium slowly.

“The ghost is still there,” Daria said as she grabbed her phone. But instead of Quinn or the guys, she called... “Sandi!”

“I saw it on the TV. I’m coming now.”

“Thanks.”

“I can be there in six minutes.”

“You don’t need to take a car,” Daria said with slight annoyance in her tone.

“Using Mother’s,” Sandi responded.

“With her permission?”

“Of course.”


Quinn quickly moved through the stands. The ghost was still on the field, throwing the balls. She took out a polaroid camera and quickly took a couple of photos. “But you’re staying at that spot? Why? Enjoying the panic in the crowds? Or is it something else.”

Sorcerer
Jasmine found Aladdin sitting on one of the Palace’s many balconies. “Aladdin?” she asked.

“I was thinking,” Aladdin responded as he looked out over Agrabah.

“You’re concerned about something.”

“To do with Jafar.”

Jasmine could tell he was concerned. “But we defeated him.”

“We did. But it’s something to do with his second wish.”

“What do you mean?”

“He wished to be a powerful sorcerer,” Aladdin answered. “But it’s not just that. Do you remember the wish?”

“He wished to be among the most powerful sorcerers there are?”

“Close.”

“It wasn’t exactly what he asked?” Jasmine asked.

“No. I was arriving in the throne room as he made his wish. His exact words were; ‘Genie! I wish to be the most powerful sorcerer there is!’ Genie had told me that the words matter.”

“What are you getting at?”

“That one of the first things Genie told me was that I needed to be precise in how I worded my wishes if I was to get what I wanted out of them,” Aladdin answered.

“Jafar didn’t want to be second best,” Jasmine said in thought.

“And Genie was acting under duress.”

“So, you’re saying that there are other powerful sorcerers out there.”

Aladdin nodded. “At least one who is only slightly less powerful than Jafar turned out to be.”

“So, that’s what you’re concerned about?”

“Yes.”

Jasmine took that in. “And he is out there somewhere.”

“And he might have heard about what happened here by now.”

“We dealt with Jafar.”

“Barely,” Aladdin responded. “And that because I had figured him out.”


Jasmine thought about that. “So, if any of these powerful sorcerers sets their sights on Agrabah…”

“We’d likely be sitting ducks.”

“So, what can we do about it?”

“Not much,” Aladdin admitted. “Except plan.”

“And that is something we can do. And we have the advantage that you figured it out now.”

“But we’ll still have to improvise when the sorcerer does make himself known.”

Jasmine looked out over the city, not sure what to say to that.


Elsewhere, a sorcerer was indeed watching Agrabah through arcane means. He had heard about what had happened with Jafar and saw an opportunity with the city. ‘I, Mozenrath, will make a move soon!’

Declaring the New Covenant
Jane was waiting for them at the table, with a sketchbook open. “I have sketched things out according to the descriptions,” she said as she turned to a stylized drawing of the stadium from above.

Daria looked closer. Jane’s style didn’t obscure the details. She noticed that Jane had put the ghost very close to where she and Sandi had seen the scorch marks before sunrise. “So, you managed to pinpoint the location from the descriptions?”

“Yes. I had to re-read it a few times, but I did.”

“So, he like, somehow got onto the field without being seen,” Sandi said.

“And therefore may need to investigate the stadium’s infrastructure,” Daria said. “But that would hardly be online or at the library.”

“The Council would have the data,” Jane said.

“But they would hardly be willing to give it out to a teenage investigator or reporter, even the one who exposed the fake interview,” Daria responded.

Jane shrugged. “Or maybe you could ask the fourth vigilante.”

Daria shrugged while resisting the temptation to glance at Sandi. “I’m sure she’s already looking into it.”

24 Something Unnatural
Lawndale may have been in shock following the Groundhog Day Attack, but Sunday night baseball games were still a fixture.

Jamie White might have been a member of Lawndale High’s football team, but he was also a fan of Lawndale’s local baseball team.

Therefore, he was at the Carter Stadium for the latest Sunday night game, along with Jeffy.

“It’s been a while since we’ve just gone to a game,” Jeffy Brown-Mercer said. “And not have had to worry about something happening.”

“Games haven’t been interrupted yet.”


They soon found their seats and the game started.

However, something happened a little over twenty minutes later, after one of Lawndale’s team had scored a home run. The lights started flickering, and then a what appeared to be a ghost appeared on the field.

This immediately disrupted the game, and both teams were called to the side, although not before some players had flaming balls thrown at them.


“Attention! The rest of tonight’s game has been postponed until tomorrow evening. Please leave the stands in an orderly fashion.”


Out in the parking lot, Jeffy turned to Jamie as he opened the car. “There is always a first time.”

“That’s right. I’ll call Quinn when I get home,” Jamie said.

“I’m sure that she might of heard of it on the radio,” Jeffy said.

“Or maybe we can go to the Morgendorffers first. She and Daria might want a first hand account.”

Jeffy agreed.


Helen came to the door in response to the doorbell. “Jamie? Jeffy? Quinn’s in her room, with Stacy, Tiffany and Tori.”

“Thanks, Mrs. Morgendorffer,” Jeffy said.


Quinn was sharing with her friends what she had found so far regarding the SpiderGirl knockoff clothes that had been released two weeks earlier.

“So, Theresa had come through, last week, while we were dealing with the favorite animal fad and failure assignment,” Quinn said, referring to a worker at the Cashmans department store.

“You said that earlier,” Tori said.

“True,” Quinn said as she brought up a document on her laptop.

Stacy looked at it. “So, it wasn’t one of Cashmans’ usual suppliers,” she said as she read what Theresa had provided.

“Exactly,” Quinn said. She was about to say more, but there was a knock at the door, and Jamie opened it.

“Hi, Quinn.”

“Jamie! I thought you were at baseball,” Quinn responded.

Jeffy entered after him. “The game was interrupted by something strange.”

That got Quinn’s attention. “What do you mean?”

“There was a ghost…” Jamie began.
