This was inspired by another of Darkdemondog24's wpnderful drawings and it's my avatar on here but in this syory, Doofy's feeling low in self-esteem and confidence and self esteem and becomes punky but Perry is freaked out and he along with a young musician named Laura will show him he's special in his own way.

This is mildly angsty but I hope you enjoy...

Doof had been feeling down recently after another few months of failure but was listening to Green Day on Vanessa's I-Pod that she'd left behind by accident but he was liking it as it was easing his hurting heart but he wanted to change himself so that his lousy self- estem would go away and he could be confident for once as he sighed looking at himself in the mirror.

He then looked through a magazine and saw pictures of punk rockers that Vanessa liked and wondered if being punky could help him feel better about himself but he was nervous about himself.

He then thought about it...

But he hoped that this would work as he then saw Perry enter but the turquise furred male saw depression in his friend's dark blue eyes as he wondered what was wrong.

"It's nothing Perry.

Trust me." he told him.

But Perry wasn't buying it.

He could tell that something was wrong but decided to leave him alone but was keeping a close eye on him seeing the magazine on Doof's sofa.

Doof sighed as he then left but then noticed that somebodu new was moving into the apartment building but it was a punky woman with black hair, dangly skull earrings, slender and had emerald eyes which made him blush.

"H-Hey there you must be Doof.

I-I'm Laura.

I just moved in here." she said.

Doof was stunned seeing this but noticed that this kid had no parents with her and had a feeling she'd ran away but he wasn't telling her to go home but wanted to help her as she was only a teen.

He then went shopping...

Three weeks Later...

Perry was worried as he hadn't heard from Doofy in a long while and needed to make sure he was okay but he activated his jetpack and headed to DEI but he had a bad feeling as he entered and used the elevator but as he entered Doof's home, he was scared seeing no inators or blueprints but the place was clean but saw Doof asleep on the couch but he changed.

He was skinnier and wore a grey jacket with ripped sleeves, black fingerless gloves on his hands and the rings around his eyes were darker making Perry worried but he was shaking Doof awake but was pushed away as that surprised him a little as Doof awoke but there was sadness and depression in his dark blue eyes as he saw cuts on his arms making the turquise furred male worry.

"Doofy you okay?" he asked.

"Why would you care about me?

I'm a failure." he said.

"B-Because you're my best friend." Perry answered.

Doof then went back to sleep but Perry decided to stay and help him.

He hoped Doof would be okay...
