Hey, guys. What you doing?

Hey, Isabella. Just reading some of the old Space Adventure issues.

- Upside down? - Issue 98.

The crew ends up on a planet with reverse gravity.

- Hey, Buford. Where's Baljeet? - What?

You think I keep a detailed schedule of everything he does?

All right, fine.

Let's see. Tuesday, 9:00 a.m. Phineas and Ferb's backyard.

He's late, but it's on here.

Please help!

The situation I'm in is quite dire.

What is it, Baljeet?

There's a new Space Adventure movie filming in Danville.

The Namrak Necroslug.

And I have been invited to audition!

How'd you land that?

By chance. I ran into the director, Katherine Marshall,

and she thought I would fit a particular role.

A character called Xterra.

He sounds awesome.

Yes, he does.

But there is still one problem.

I do not know how to act.

I have a hard time pretending.

What if we help set the scene for you?

Isabella, that's it!

If we bring the ice jungles of Namrak to life,

Baljeet won't have to pretend.

He can experience it for real.

I know what we're gonna do today.

No better way to listen to the Lumberzax than on repeat.

Nice animatronics, Ferb.

Come on, ladies, those prop design patches won't iron earn themselves.

And why is Buford filming this?

You can use it for your audition,

and I can use it for my reel.

Thanks, Shane.

That does not explain how you got an assistant.

Hey, where's Perry?

Wine glass delivery for P. Platypus?

Hello there, Agent P.

Doofenshmirtz's brother, Roger, is having

another commemorative statue of himself--

If I had a nickel for every time that's happened--

You'd have two nickels, sir.

Yes, yes, I know how it goes, Carl.

Anyhoo, the mayor is the public face of Danville.

Do not let Doofenshmirtz ruin the ceremony.

Ah, Perry the Platypus, come in, come in.

I consider you a VIP.

A very important platypus.

And now you're imprisoned by your own celebrity.

I suppose you're wondering why I have this large paper mache version of my own head.

Don't worry, it will come into play soon.

You see, ever since I was little,

people have always forgotten my face.

I was even voted Least Recognizable in high school.

Look, that's not even me.

It's a traffic cone with a dent in it.

I mean, I don't think that's me.

On the other hand,

Roger has the most recognizable face in all of Danville.

He's got that je ne sais quois.

And I would know. I minored in sais quois.

Let's do this beholding al fresco, shall we?

Behold my Defaceinator.

One blast and your face becomes incredibly forgettable.

Once I zap Roger, nobody will recognize him

and his unveiling will be a failing.

I'm gonna switch it back. This is too disturbing.

There you go, paper mache me,

don't let anybody tell you you look like a traffic cone.

All right, crew.

A new day, a new adventure. A Space Adventure.

You know, I can see these vines are just painted ropes.

How can I act with this?

You might be overthinking it.

Yeah, it's just that...

Huh. Baljeet's really struggling to get into his character.

What else could we do to help?

Wait, I've got an idea.

Release the Necroslug.

The Namrak Necroslug?

You know I can tell this is an animatronic, right?

Just go along with it.

If you want people to believe your performance,

you've gotta believe in it yourself.

Captain Dirk. The Necroslug seems to have spotted us.

Perhaps we should flee before it hunts us down.

Okay, let's try turning the aggression up.

Buford, bump it up to a seven.

Okay, I put it on 11.

No, we said seven, not 11.

We've never even tested that level of aggression.

It's gonna eat us all!

Oh, do not be so overdramatic.

Here's your coffee, sir.

See? It only ate Shane.

Though, to be fair, it may not be finished yet.

Okay, new plan. Run!

Okay, Roger. Prepare to lose face.

I think we lost it.

Hey, what happened to Ferb? Who's this guy?

I am Ferb.

Dude, whoever you are, that's a great impression. But where did Ferb go?

I should really build an Autoaiminator

because I cannot hit the broad side of a barn.

Um, hello. Can we discuss the bigger problem?

And by bigger problem, I mean the berserk Necroslug that is on the loose!

Run again!

How do we stop it?

There's a control doohickey on its head.

If we smash it, it should be lights out for the big guy.

Baljeet, you and Isabella distract the Necroslug.

This guy and I can use these vines to make a trap.

Buford can smash the doohickey.

And here it is, just like I told you.

I found your ice jungle, Miss Marshall.

You know what? This is great.

You know, it's starting to make me think that maybe the Tri-State Area

has more to offer than just tax credits.

Guys, out of time!

How's the net?

I'm not sure it'll hold.

It better, or we're getting a VIP tour of that Necroslug's bowels.

I think perhaps you are using the term "VIP" incorrectly.

- Come on, Baljeet! - Buford, now!

I'm ready for my close-up!

- Man down! Me! - Buford!

The net won't hold.

Xterra, you're our only hope.

Oh, no!

Aah!

The luck of sloth bomb is with me!

What was that?

Mom, Mom! Alien jungle. Giant slug!

Mom, alien jungle. Giant slug. Mom, Mom!

It's too late, Perry the Platypus.

And now, presenting the face of Danville...

Ha-ha! Roger's statue still got messed up. I'm gonna call that a win.

It's so simple, like it could represent any one of us.

It's just like humble old Roger

to make his statue about celebrating the common man.

Uh, yes, exactly as I intended.

We're all the face of Danville.

Wait, did I just help Roger's reputation?

I can undo it. I can still undo it.

Oh, now I have to clean this all up.

You couldn't just hit the self-destruct button?

That would've been better.

I have conquered the great beast.

I am Xterra!

And... cut!

Good work today, Sluggy.

Wait, Sluggy?

Sorry, Baljeet,

but we had to keep it a secret to get you into character.

You were all acting? This was all staged?

It was Buford's idea.

He knew if you believed the situation was real, you'd believe in yourself.

I knew you'd rise to the occasion, pal.

You just needed a little push.

- Ow! - All right, that one was for me.

Huh. Deception aside, my confidence is at an all-time high.

Xterra fears nothing!

It's Baljeet, right?

Renowned director Katherine Marshall?

That was simply incredible.

I mean, it's like watching a true star in the making.

- Am I right? - So I get the part?

I get to be Xterra?

Xterra? Um... Oh, this is a typo.

We were looking for extras.

You know, for the background work.

When I saw you in town, I was just amazed

how well you just blended into the background.

But then that heroic image of you,

I just can't get it out of my head.

I can't hire you as an extra now,

and we already hired all the leads,

so I don't think we can use you anymore.

All of that work and all in vain.

If only there was some way

to go back to being forgettable.

What am I supposed to do with this?

Oh, there you are, Ferb.

Ugh. That other guy talked too much.

You know, if I'm good enough to impress "the" Katherine Marshall,

maybe my acting talents are worth cultivating.

Maybe I should take a class.

- Buford? - Already ahead of you.

Yeah, he's free Wednesday at 8:00.

Oh, by the way, this set is incredible.

Would it happen to be for sale?

Well, no, but you can just have it.

Mom, come to the backyard. The boys are at it again.

At this point, I should just have Buford add this to my schedule.

Come on, come on, come on.

Mom! Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Wait till you see it. Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Uh, what?

Anybody needs me, I'll be on the couch.

Hey, has anybody seen Shane?

Hello? Mr. Buford? I'm still in the slug.
