Chapter 1: Why did you quit?

A few days passed by and everything was normal again. Actually, everything was normal with Heinz and the Flynn-Fletcher family. But when referring to Major Monogram and Agent P… things were everything but normal for them. The Major was having a hard time figuring out what all the little buttons did and Perry… he, well he refused to go on any missions.

With each passing day, the Major grew more and more worried about him. He had noticed that the Agent hardly slept, ate or left the house… not that he was "spying" on him or anything, he thought about it more as "keeping an eye on him". However, the platypus found it somewhat annoying having the Major over at his family's house for dinner twice a week.

Yes. To "keep an eye on him" the Major had actually claimed to be a distant relative of the Fletcher's. At first, like to be expected, no one believed him until he showed documents that said otherwise. How did he do it without Carl's help? Well, that was a mystery to the Agent.

It had been two months now, and the Major still believed there was something terribly wrong with the Agent that he had no other choice but to give him a long term "vacation". More like a long term suspension. The Agent had argued but he knew that when the Major's mind was made up nothing would change it. Monogram just wanted the Agent to return to his normal self again before his psychological problems acted up again.

The Major could still remember two months back when the Agent had arrived to Headquarters claiming that the girl had returned. He had checked the surveillance cameras and had seen no one outside his host family's house. Maybe Carl had been right…. Maybe dealing with the problem that hadn't even showed signs had caused it to accelerate.

Weeks later

After the Major left the house, Perry sneaked out the backyard and took off. He was still determined to talk to Carl. True, every time he wanted to talk with him Carl would refuse.

Not this time, no. This time Perry wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of not dealing with his problems. There was something wrong with Carl… he had been working at the Agency for a long time now and it was weird that he would just quit because he was angered at Major Monogram. It wasn't even the first time they fought but Carl never quit.

What could be wrong with him?

Carl's House

The Agent entered the college student's house through an open window. There he found the student working on some science project. There was no one else home so he didn't have to act mindless of hide. The Agent placed the translator on and walked towards Carl slowly. "Carl."

The student jumped, "Agent P?" he turned, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to get some answers from you."

"I told you Agent P, I don't want to talk about it." He replied a little frustrated.

The Agent walked over to him and climbed on the desk so that now they were at eye level. He stared at the intern firmly and noticed something particular in his eyes. "Why?"

"Why what?" Carl asked.

"Why are you been a quitter all of the sudden?"

"I'm not a quitter!"

"You quit the Agency."

Carl frowned at the Agent. "It was the Major's fault!"

"You two always fight! Why quit now?"

"Because… because… because I grew tired of it, ok!"

Perry blinked.

Carl rose from his chair and walked towards the window. He remained silent for a few minutes before looking down and sighing. "I just don't think he appreciates what I do…"

"Of course he does… he hasn't stopped talking about it."

Carl turned, "Really?"

"Yeah… whenever he calls me he's always saying 'oh if Carl were here' and 'how does Carl do this'…. To be honest it's getting annoying."

"Wow, does he really need me that much?"

'Yes. He's a computer illiterate! Three days ago he blasted Agent C with the Pink-Inaitor…"

"He what?!"

Perry nodded, "And the other day he almost blasted us all with the Amnesia-Inaitor."

"WHAT?!"

Carl began to pace, he just couldn't believe what he was hearing…. He knew there were things the Major didn't know but he couldn't possibly be THAT dumb….

Agent P just stared at the intern. He knew he wanted to come back, it was obvious. Of course he did feel a little bad about lying to him. The Major had really not tried to blast them with the Amnesia-Inaitor… but what happened to Agent C was true.

"You guys really need me back, don't you?"

"Yes…" Perry replied.

Carl looked at the Agent for a while. He missed them all, he really did but… he was still angered at the Major and unless he apologized he wasn't returning. He didn't even have to say a word; he could tell Agent P had gotten the message.

The platypus let out a sigh and jumped down from the desk. He began to walk towards the open window again and climbed up the window. Before leaving he turned back to Carl, "He'll apologize. I promise."

Carl smiled as the semi-aquatic mammal left, he knew Agent P and he knew that he would keep his promise. However, he could also tell that there was something wrong with him, something seemed to be bothering him but what could it be?

D.E.I

Dr. Doofenshmirtz was utterly surprised when he saw Perry the Platypus entering his building. He wasn't working on anything evil at the moment so he didn't know what the Agent could possibly be doing here.

"What are you doing here?" the scientist asked.

"Heinz! She's back!

"Who's back?"

"Nina!"

Heinz blinked. "Perry, have you been sleeping well?"

"…no."

"Ah, there is your problem. You haven't been sleeping well so you believe that the girl is back."

"No! She really is—"

"I suggest that you get some sleep. I promise I won't make anything evil until you're better."

Agent P couldn't believe it. Why didn't they believe him? "But… but… but…" Damn, now he sounded like Candace. He let out a sigh.

The evil scientist opened the door for the Agent and told him to get some rest. He could tell the platypus was still haunted by the memories of the girl, but he needed to get over it. He just needed a long vacation and a lot of rest.

**Poor Perry… no one believes him…. Please review, no harsh comments.
