Perry of the Future (AKA A World without Agent P)

Chapter 1

"So Ferb," Phinias said to his stepbrother one morning at breakfast. They were all eating Frosted Flakes except Perry who was eating fish out of his pet bowl. Ferb looked up and shrugged his soldiers and took a bite.

"Hmmm, well we got to do something. I mean come on; we have to make the rest of our summer enjoyable before school starts again in September. We already built a roller coaster, discovered an alien spaceship, built a circus, a beach, that Perry toy, played hide and seek when we were small with that crazed fan of ours and loads more. We can't stop now; we have to do something creative!" The boy then stood on the table with his fist raised and clashed. "I swear if we don't do something creative; I'll die of boredom. I won't rest until we do something, we must, we must!" Ferb and Perry looked at the determined boy with wide eyes. Candace dropped her spoon; her parents looked at him like he was crazy. Phinias noticed everyone looking at him. He stepped down.

"Sorry." He said, continuing eating. "Couldn't help it." The rest of the family continued with their food. Candance picked up her spoon off the floor, wiped it off on her napkin, and took a bite.

It was silent for five more minutes until Candance broke the silence. She squealed with delight at the Magazine she was reading. Everybody looked at the teenager except Perry.

"OOOOH this wedding dress is so gorgeous!" She said. Lawrence leaned in to see what she was looking at; it was an ad for a very pretty but expensive wedding dress.

"All I need now is a handsome tux for Jeremy and we will have a wedding no couple will ever forget!" She did another delighted sequel as she hugged her magazine to her chest. "Oh Jeremy, I would love to merr…"

"You're not going to get married yet sweetheart." Linda reminded her.

"I'm not talking about now Mom." She told her mother. "I'm talking about the future when I move out. This dress is too pricy; I'll simply have to earn enough money and when I get the dress, I'll be old enough to merry Jeremy!" She did another squeal.

Phinias was looking at the back of the magazine then looked at his stepbrother.

"Ferb, I know what we're doing today!" Ferb gasped in shock. Phinias shook his head and put his arm around his worried stepbrother.

"No, we're not getting married." Ferb sighed with relief. When he was old enough, maybe he could merry that dreamy Goth teen, but not yet.

"No I'm talking about this." Phinias explained, showing Ferb the back, it showed a young adult in her early 20's, drinking ice cold lemonade and relaxing under the sun in a hammock. Candace looked on the back as well.

"What?" She asked. "You already had the best lazy day of your lives."

"Yeah." Phinias agreed. "But not in a hammock with cool refreshing lemonade before."

"I thought you were going to do something creative, or you'll die of boredom."

"Yeah but that was before I saw the hammock picture." Candance continued reading.

"Whatever." She muttered.

"Come on Ferb!" Phinias left the table. "Let's build those hammocks and make that back cover a reality!" Ferb followed him outside.

"Have fun!" Their mom called.

"We will mom!" Phinias reassured her.

Then Perry's watch went off and the platypus walked outside as well. He would love to take a day off and relax with his two owners, but duty calls!

Perry passed by his owners who put up two hammocks on two different branches of the same big tree in the backyard. Perry looked at the hammocks as he walked by.

"Well Ferb." Phinias said. "We'll finally done tying our hammocks on the same big tree." He and Ferb hopped into the different hammocks looking relaxed.

"Ahhh." Phinias said looking at the clouds. "I tell you Ferb; this is the life." Ferb agreed with a thumbs up.

Perry stopped to have a look. Man they do sure look relaxed, maybe just a few… Then Perry shook it off. No I need to do my job; I got to do this or I'll get fired. No dilly dallying! I must move on! Perry continued walking to the house's side.

"No relaxing is complete without ice cold lemonade." Perry stopped in his tracks as Phinias said that. The boy snapped his fingers.

"Balgeet, Buford, lemonade!" Then Balgeet and Buford in waitress outfits came out of the house. Buford laughed when he saw Balgeet in his maid outfit.

"Ha ha!" He scoffed. "You look like a girl."

"You look like a girl too." Bajeet reminded Buford.

"Yeah but I'm a mush more prettier girl then you." He showed off his "Prettiness. "See?"

"Quite." Bajeet just said. Then Buford scowled at him.

"I'm pretty and you know it!" He held up his fist. Balgeet did a nervous laugh.

"Yep, you sure are! Very pretty woman indeed." He went to Phinia's hammock.

"That's better." Buford walked to Ferb's. Phinias and Ferb grabbed their glasses from their waiters.

"I'm getting paid for this right?" Buford asked Phinias. "I'm getting India's pay too right?" Phinias just ignored him and drank his glass. Buford just narrowed his eyes but didn't say anything.

MMMMM lemonade! Better yet, ice cold lemonade! Maybe… Perry shook the temptation off and walked to the slit. When he was by the house, he stood up and put on his fedora. He took one last glance as he saw his owners put on sparkle shades.

"Now this is the life Ferb." Phinias told him as the boys took a sip of their drinks and sighed heavenly.

No Perry; don't even think about it! You got a job too do, no more of this temptation stuff! He was about to go when he saw Balgeet carrying something. He looked and as Balgeet unwrapped it, he realized that it was a miniature sized hammock!

"Here you go Phinias." Balgeet told the boy. "One platypus sized hammock just in case Perry decides to join us."

"Perfect Bajeet!" He said. "Just put it over there." Bajeet and Buford tied the mini hammock on another branch, nice and tight.

"There nice and tidy." Bajeet said. "The perfect size for Perry if he decides to show up."

Perry couldn't take it any longer! He took of his fedora and walked on his four feet towards the hammocks.

"Oh there you are Perry." Phinias said when he saw his pet. "Gee you usually appear when our things disappear. Anyway, are you here to relax with your favorite owners?" Perry just chattered.

"Buford and I made it comfy for you." Bajeet said, patting Perry's hammock. "See? And it's even your size." Buford pushed Bajeet aside.

"What he means is I made it soft and comfortable for you."

"Hay, no you didn't!" Balgeet complained. "We…" Buford pushed Balgeet aside once more.

"Go ahead Perry." Buford encourged the platypus. "Go on and relax by you two favorite owners. You know you want to!" Perry went up to his hammock and stepped onto it. He then went all the way and laid down.

"See? Told ya you like it!"

"Here's your cool shades buddy." Phinias said, putting sunglasses by Perry's side. Perry grabbed the shades and put them on. He then rolled over onto his back and put his arms behind his head and sighed heavenly.

"Here's your lemonade Perry." Balgeet said. Perry looked at the grinning boy, grabbed the lemonade glass, drank it, put it aside, and continued looking relaxed. Balgeet went away.

Now this was living! Nothing can spoil this moment; this was paradise! Suddenly Perry's watch went off again. Perry looked at it. He was so relaxed that he forgot his mission!

"Hay what's that sound?" Phinias asked. Ferb shrugged.

"I think I herd those beeps before." Buford said.

"Oh yes!" Balgeet said. "Then we herd a man's voice inside of Perry."

"You herd a man's voice from inside Perry?" Phinias wanted to know.

"Yes then the ice cream guy came and we got free ice cream!" Buford laughed.

"That guy forgot our tip!" Phinias and Ferb just looked at their friends like they were nuts. The two boys just grinned.

"Okay." Phinias said with disbelief, going back to his relaxation. "Let's just relax and never have this conversation again."

"Okay." Buford agreed. "That's nonsense. Perry's just a mindless platypus; he couldn't have devoured a man. It's not like he doesn't have a double life that we don't know about." He laughed. "It was just a dream, a silly dream that we will not mention again."

"But Buford." Balgeet whispered. "It wasn't a dream. We did hear a man from inside Perr…" He then was smacked by Buford. The two boys grinned and laughed nervously. All of the boys then continued what they were doing.

Oh whatever! Perry took off his watch and tossed it aside and continued relaxing. Dr. Doofenschirz's schemes almost always aren't totally evil I'm sure Major Monogram will understand my absence. He took another sip and did another heavenly sigh when he out it aside.

"Where is Agent P?" Monogram wanted to know. "I know he didn't quit because I don't recall being tough on him, do where is he?"

"I don't know sir." Carl reassured him. "Maybe we better check up and him with the watch."

"Carl that's a brilliant idea."

"Thank you sir."

"I'm so glad I thought of it."

"Wait, what?"

"Agent P?" Monogram said when he appeared on screen of Perry's watch. "Where are you?" He began to sing a little. "Oh where oh where has my little agent platypus gone? Where oh where can he be?"

Angry, Perry jumped off his spot and sat on the watch.

"Where is that singing coming from?" Buford wanted to know. He then punched his fist to his hand. "Whoever is singing that six year old song meets Mr. Fist!"

"Not me." Bajeet told him. "I can't sing that deep or like an old man."

"Well I need someone to let my frustation on." He looked at Balgeet. "You will do." Balgeet ran as Buford chased him, screaming.

"Can you be quit?" Phinias asked relaxing and turning to his side. "There's no agent platypi here." Monogram sounded muffuled from underneath Perry's tail. Perry lifted his tail to listen.

"Agent P, why are you not down in your HQ? You have a mission and…" Perry chattered angrily at him.

"Agent P, I don't know what that means but you're coming and that's final! Now what the hack are you…" He looked around and gasped. "Relaxing on the job? Perry I'm appalled at you. You should be at Doofenscrmitz instead of…" But then Perry shut of his watch making him disappear. He then went back to his little hammock and rested.

When the watch beeped a few seconds later, Perry angrily went down, grabbed his watch, went to the trash can, and threw it in. He went back to what he was doing.

"Agent P? Agent P! For heavens sake Agent P, come in! Well it's official Carl; Agent P is being naughty today so…" He then noticed a banana peel. "So do you want to presume Agent P's duties Agent Banana Peel?" There was a little silence. "I thought not."

"Good Mourning Dansville!" said the newswoman on the news the next morning. "I am Theresa Russip It looks like a hot day; better get your swim gear on folks! Let's switch to Ace Summers with the details." The screen then flipped to a man with a business suit on and a Dansville map in the background.

"Morning Dansville!" Ace greeted. "As Theresa mentioned you should all go to Danville beach because it is scorching hot! No wonder why they consider July's the hottest month of the year; man is it hot! I'm boiling in here!"

"Hay kids; I know what we should do today!" Lynda told them. Phinias looked excited.

"THE BEACH!" He shouted. Perry smiled. Ahhh the beach; sounds like paradise!

The next two weeks; Perry has been doing fun activities with his family instead of foiling Doctor Doofenscmirz's evil plans. The platypus has been doing events such as water skiing, going to the Taste of Danville, state fair, bowing, and mush more! Perry completely forgot about his life as a secret agent!

One morning as Perry was sunbathing; a sack went over his head! Perry wiggled to get free but when the bag moved a little it opened up. Then Perry saw who his kidnappers were, Carl and Major Monogram. Perry couldn't believe it! He looked at them.

"Hi Agent P!" Carl waved. "No hard feelings right?" The platypus didn't look amused. Carl looked ashamed.

"Agent P!" Monogram told him. "This two week vacation is unacceptable! You are to foil Dr. D's plans right now and…" Perry took his hat out and threw it on the ground. Monogram and Carl gasped.

"Agent P, you're not quitting are you? I forbid it; I order you too…" Perry hopped on his fedora and stomped on it repeatedly. Dr. D, Monogram, and Carl gasped. Perry then walked back to the backyard.

"Agent P! This is extremely unacceptable behavior. You march right back and resume your duties; that's an order!" Dr. D put a hand on Perry's soldiers and walked with him.

"Don't listen to them Agent P." He said to him. "I haven't been doing evil really. All I've been doing is changing history like; making it so I put my country's flag up on the moon before Armstrong does his, helping Germans beat us in WWII, inventing Cable TV, stuff like that. Nothing really evil, well now that I think about it. It is kind of evil to mess with history, but oh well! Now I'll show you my latest invention, a time machine!" Perry then tripped on a remote, and fell into the time machine!

"Oh no, Agent P!" Monogram and Carl looked down the time machine where Perry just fell.

"You know," Spoke up Dr. D." "I was going to push him down just to be evil, but now I don't have to do all that work. My trusty remote did it for me! I'm so good in an evil way; don't say that I did it, cause I didn't!"

"Carl." Monogram said. "Think I was a little too tough on him?"

"Yes." Carl answered. "Yes you were."
