Well—here you are, and here I am, writing my first fanfiction. I hope you enjoy this story. Don't you remember the quote: "He is a platypus, they don't do much." Phineas Flynn said this. But Perry isn't just a platypus, he's more than that. The characters are all pondering this thought and their moments with Perry. Read and review!

Heinz Doofenshmirtz
Failure. No one understands the undesirable feeling of this word better than Heinz Doofenshmirtz, evil scientist. It was part of his daily routine, one so obvious that it needn't be written on a to-do list; it would have just happened. He expected to be stymied, foiled, and thwarted. It was his thing; he and a certain fedora-wearing semi-aquatic monotreme would have a showdown, just like real nemeses do. And that certain fedora-wearing semi-aquatic monotreme was a platypus, Perry the Platypus.
Heinz remembered the day that Charlene, his ex-wife, said, "He's just a little platypus. They don't do much, you know." It was the same day he was smothered with ice cream, owing to an accident switching his blueprint for a giant sundae maker. Well, she couldn't have been more wrong. Perry was his nemesis, his wingman, his best friend (yes, a platypus was his best friend, for he was never good with society), someone Heinz could always count on to be there for him.
Agent P would arrive, be trapped, listen to Dr. Doofenshmirtz's rambling, escape, and defeat him. A natural procedure. His evil Inators were usually destroyed-either by a random event, his signature self-destruct buttons, Perry the Platypus, or by himself. However, Doofenshmirtz did leave an impact on the Tri-State Area, but not enough to become the supreme leader. He was the one that caused the language of Ferb Latin to become obsolete in the whole town of Danville. He was the one who the cleanup of Phineas and Ferb's daily invention could be credited to. He wouldn't be there physically to clean it up, but one of his Inators would always handle it.
He remembered how utterly heartbroken Perry the Platypus had been when he knew he was replaced by a new Agent P: Peter the Panda. He had even considered quitting his job at the O.W.C.A when Peter came along. Dr. Doofenshmirtz was Perry's reason to fight evil. Heinz's happiest day of his life was the day he decided to get his picture taken. It was also the day he met Agent P, watching the evil scientist intently from behind a mailbox. Perry was now a nemesis, he was his nemesis.
Dr. Doofenshmirtz had taught himself whale song to insult the macaroni and cheese recipe of a whale. Perry was disappointed and unsatisfied. He knew Heinz was evil; Perry had comforted him when Dr. Doofenshmirtz's former mentor thought he was absolutely terrible at being evil. This scheme was way below his standards, though, but everyone would have a bad day. He decided that he would leave him alone the rest of the day for Heinz to foolishly insult whales. And so, Agent P jet-packed off the hovercraft, leaving a confused Doofenshmirtz behind. He followed Perry, begging to be thwarted as if he was a parrot begging for crackers. If Perry the Platypus thought Heinz's scheme was evil enough to be thwarted, then he would be satisfied.
Heinz Doofenshmirtz had fallen for a woman. Actually, he had fallen for many, but this time it was a charming cowgirl that caught his eye. Rosie, as she was called, wouldn't have stayed with Heinz anyways, knowing that he had lied to her, but the platypus made the one date last. Perry the Platypus was a fine wingman, even for his nemesis. They did care for each other and would only hurt one another with cartoony violence, nothing more, nothing less. Because Perry and Heinz were the best of frenemies, forever and always.
Balloony, Heinz Doofenshmirtz's best childhood friend, was lost since Heinz's days as a lawn gnome. Their next encounter was when he, dressed in his Socky-Shocky Suity, had accidentally crashed through the spaceship of Mitch, an intergalactic villain. He was ecstatic when he found Balloony, but Balloony chose to stay with Mitch, renamed as Collin. Dr. Doofenshmirtz felt betrayed, but it was when he realized that Perry the Platypus was actually a better best friend. He was always there when he needed him. Ironically, as he said this, Perry knocked the evil scientist out of the massive hole in the bottom of the ship. As Heinz was falling to his doom, Perry was also the one who leaped out to save him. Another great example of their relationship as frenemies.
When they were zapped by Dr. D's Trip-to-the-Desert-inator, Perry was the one who offered him a refreshing drink of water. Perry was the one who got two bus tickets for them to go home. Unfortunately, platypuses were not allowed on the bus. Heinz continued on the bus, but it wasn't long before guilt took him; his little nemesis, looking sad and pathetic alone out in the desert. Serendipitously, he had found their jetpack in the mouth of a fiberglass dinosaur and went back for Perry the Platypus. Then they flew out for Danville. Perry was the one who encouraged Doofenshmirtz to be able to control a turbo speed jetpack. They succeeded. Heinz made it back just in time for his play. And Perry didn't miss dinner with Phineas and Ferb. That memory would have been one of the most cherished for both of them. Dr. Doofenshmirtz had even shedded a tear-the universal secretion for sincerity, as he would have said it.
Perry was extraordinary. It's as much of a fact as Isabella being cute. He even has his own theme song. Dr. Doofenshmirtz described the impressive platypus as a suave, semi-aquatic personification of unstoppable dynamic fury that is fierce, cunning, and good with a grappling hook. It was the most obvious fact in the world to Heinz Doofenshmirtz: Perry was more than a platypus.
So... What did you guys think? Not too shabby, right? Alright, review please, readers, with a cherry on top.
