It's another story that I'm posting! :D And, as you saw in the summary, it's a collaboration with VibeQuake, another user here on Fanfiction with epic stories (that you should totally go check out ;P). I've done other stories with her, but this one will be different. Instead of each of us writing on chapter at a time, we wrote one paragraph at a time (or occasionally one sentence or two paragraphs) over PMs, then combined it all together :D So I'm giving her just as much credit as I'm giving myself for each chapter xD xD
I'm also going to try and do a slightly different disclaimer this time. I'm going to (generally) mention all the characters that will be appearing in this story now, and say who owns them. Just once xD xD
VibeQuake and I DO NOT OWN PHINEAS AND FERB. VibeQuake owns Apollo, Artemis, Kane, Kirk, and Patty. I own Katrina, Elouise, and Kiki. THE OTHER CHARACTERS ARE PART OF THE ACTUAL SHOW AND NEITHER OF US OWN THEM
Katrina gently finished bandaging the chihuahua's arm. "There you go, darling," she smiled to Pinky. "Now, don't go on any more missions until I say you can. Got it?"
Pinky nodded, smiling up at Katrina. "Thanks. That feels a lot better."
"No problem, darling. It's my job."
Pinky got down off the bed and headed towards the door. As he went through, a young, blonde man in a white lab coat came past him and into the room.
Katrina raised an eyebrow. "Who are you, darling?"
"Apollo Hastings," the man replied. "I'm a doctor. Would you be Katrina?"
"Yes. Does Major Monogram know you're here?"
"He's the one who assigned me here," Apollo replied. "I'm to assist you in medical duties."
"Really?" Katrina thought for a moment. "I suppose I'm not getting any younger. Help would be appreciated."
"I won't get in your way," Apollo said. "All I wish to do is be a great doctor."
"Darling, don't worry about getting in my way. It doesn't matter if you do or not, especially since this isn't a full-blown hospital."
"Okay." Apollo moved closer towards Katrina, out of the doorway. "It's just that everywhere I've been so far, people have complained that I'm in the way."
"Well, don't worry, sweetheart. I won't," Katrina reassured.
"Good, because the last thing I want is to be in the way of the more experienced doctor."
"Well, how do you gain more experience? By doing more." Katrina grinned. "I might very well end up letting you do a lot more than you'd expect."
Apollo grinned. "That's just what I was hoping for, actually."
"Good, because I don't know how much longer my old bones can carry on."
"You don't look that old to me, ma'am," Apollo said.
Katrina smiled. "Well, thanks for the compliment, darling, but I'm certainly not young anymore."
"Alright, well, let's get started," Apollo said. "Is there anything pressing that needs to be done?"
"Not yet," Katrina replied, settling down into a chair. "I just finished up with a patient. I don't think we have anything to do until someone needs us again."
A black and white panda suddenly staggered through the door and collapsed onto the ground, a pool of blood growing underneath him.
"Peter!" Katrina gasped. "Apollo, bandages." She leaped out of her chair- very quickly for her age- and gently picked him up and set him on the bed. Apollo got the stuff that was needed, and the two quickly began working on helping Peter out.
"What's causing all this blood?" Apollo gasped.
"Hm..." Katrina gently maneuvered different parts of the bear around, apologizing every time she felt or heard him react in pain.
"There," Apollo said, gently moving Peter's arm out of the way and pointing to a long gash along the panda's side.
Katrina grabbed the bandages and began to gently yet quickly wrap them around the panda bear. Apollo kept his hands on Peter's shoulders to prevent the panda from moving too much.
Once Katrina was done, she ushered Apollo out of the room. "We need to let him rest for a little before asking him questions," she instructed.
Apollo nodded. "Okay, I'll go visit my sister, then."
"Who is your sister?" Katrina inquired. "Would I know her?"
"I think so. She works here as O.W.C.A's psychiatrist."
Katrina blinked. "Oh, Artemis is your sister. That makes sense."
"Yeah, so I'll be back in half an hour. Is that enough time?"
Katrina nodded. "Sure thing, sweetheart."
"Oh, by the way, I think Kane was looking for you," Apollo said as he was walking off.
"Got it, darling." Katrina looked over at Peter, who was currently unconscious. I can leave him alone for a few minutes, she decided finally.
