Authors Note: Hello, fellow Phineas and Ferb fans! This is my first fanfic for the show, and it is Perry/OC and human. Oops, you aren't supposed to know that… Well, read on and please review!
"We are sending you a partner." Major Monogram said, a gleeful tone on his voice. Perry the Platypus folded his arms across his teal chest and glared at the head of his OWCA team. Why did he need a partner? He could defeat his nemesis just fine alone.
"This is a new trainee, top of her class. She just needs some experience, and someone to help break her shyness. That's all." the Major attempted to reassure his best agent. "Just for a week or two. Nothing much." Perry grumbled in platypus speak, but nodded his fedora-topped head.
"Great! We'll send her over." The image on the massive screen fizzled out. Perry sighed and walked to the tube that would send him up to the surface. A week or two isn't that bad. He turned and placed his agent fedora on a peg next to the tube, and the tube shot him to the surface.

Phineas and Ferb, now fifteen and still inventing in their backyard, were looking through the front door at the creature who sat before them. A platypus with fur a teal color a few shades lighter than Perry's, and unnatural golden eyes stared back at them, scaring the two teens a bit. They were awfully unnerving. She could have been a relative of Perry's, but the eyes threw them off.
"Do you think she has a home?" asked Ferb, not taking his eyes off the animal that had sat herself on his family's doorstep. Phineas looked at the platypus, then at his step-brother.
"I don't think so, Ferb. She doesn't have a collar. Maybe we should keep her." The platypus perked up at the idea, and the step-brothers nodded. The nameless platypus waddled into their house after them and the brothers walked into the backyard. Perry lazily glanced up, keeping his "I don't do much" cover mask in place. Phineas walked over and the nameless platypus and Ferb followed. The boys sat under the big tree in the backyard, and the platypus settled down in next to Perry.
"So you're the new recruit." Perry growled out in platypus-speak.
"Yes. And you're Agent P? The best of the best?" she replied. Perry only nodded. The platypus seemed to get nervous, Perry assumed that she was extremely shy, like aMajor Monogram told him.
"Look, kid, do you have a name? How old are you?" Perry asked.
"Major Monogram refused to give me a name, saying that it was up to an owner to give their pet it's name. I'm eighteen, in human years." squeaked out the nameless female platypus.
"I'm probably about nineteen, in human years." Perry grunted, then fell silent as his owners began to speak.
"Well, Ferb, if we're going to keep her, she needs a name." Phineas stated. Ferb nodded in his quiet way.
"Got any ideas?" Phineas continued. Ferb nodded, then proceeded to list them.
"Izzy. Laura. Isis. Zinny." He trailed off after the last one, wondering if his brother was thinking the same thing he was.
"Wait, Ferb. Repeat the last name." Phineas asked, his mind in another dimension that was trying the names out on their new platypus.
"Zinny." Ferb repeated, thinking, alongside Phineas.
"Zinny! It's perfect!" shouted Phineas.
The platypus looked up at her new owners. "Zinny." she whispered. Then she glanced at Perry, and something changed. Zinny looked away quickly, a warm and fuzzy feeling overtaking her body and causing her to blush. What is happening to me? I have never been this shy before... Wait, and I developing a crush on Agent P? She thought, then discarded the thought. Perry would never feel that way about her.
Said Agent P walked up to her, and then looked at her strangely. She acted so odd around him, and he wondered if anything he had done had caused her awkwardness around him. Then it hit him. He wanted her to like him.
Perry's wristwatch buzzed, and while the teens were in a deep one-sided conversation about a hover board they were planning to build later that day, the secret agents snuck away. The side of the tree slid open, and Perry slid into the tree trunk and disappeared. Zinny looked down and shivered. Agent Z put on her brown fedora hat, and all fear left her. She stepped into the tree trunk, and fell into the tubing. She landed next to Agent P, and they both approached the lair's screen.
Major Monogram's face flickered onto the screen of the massive TV. "Agent P and Agent Z, Doofenshmirtz has been purchasing strange materials from unknown locations. It remains unknown what he will do with them. But get in there and put a stop to it!" Agent P and Agent Z nodded, tipped their fedora's, and flew out on Perry's hover car, shaped like a platypus.
xXxXxXx
Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, with his shaggy hair and extremely long nose, looked up from his invention as Perry and Zinny crashed through the window.
"Ah, Perry the Platypus, what a surprise! And by surprise, I mean completely predictable!" Doofenshmirtz cackled as robotic arms reached down from the ceiling and pinned both the agent's arms to their sides. Doofenshmirtz blinked at the pair.
"Wait a minute, two Perry the Platypus's? Who are you?" He addressed the second "Perry the Platypus". Zinny warbled in indignation, she didn't like being addressed as someone's look-alike.
Doofenshmirtz looked shocked. "Whaaaat?" He asked. "Zinny the Platypus? A partner? That's OK, I'll just act like it's just Perry." Zinny glanced at Perry, who just shrugged.
"That's just Doofenshmirtz, he's harmless." he "told" Zinny in platypus-speak. Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz was rattling on about how the people in the Tri-State area acted like animals. The platypus' turned their attention back to the not-so-evil genius as he unveiled his contraption.
"And now, I give you the Species Change-inator! It changes the species of whoever is caught in it!" The handheld gun looked like a miniature shrinkinator.
Zinny happened to be a bit smaller than Perry, and since the arms restraining her were calibrated for some-platypus Perry's size, she wiggled and fell to the floor, landing in a crouch. Perry nodded, and Zinny sprung into action, launching herself into the air and slamming her beaver-tail into Doofenshmirtz's cheek. He stumbled as Zinny fell to the floor and rolled to break her fall. Perry leaped and landed to Zinny, and they both crouched into the typical fighting position.
Doofenshmirtz stumbled back as the two platypus' attacked as one, punching and slapping with their tails. The Species Change-inator slipped from Doofenshmirtz's grasp and plummeted-in slow motion- to the ground.
"Noooo!" Doofenshmirtz cried as his invention plummeted to the ground. Zinny and Perry looked up as the Inator-ray hit the ground and exploded in rays of light. The ceiling began to crumble and a massive chunk fell towards Perry.
He looked up, and felt his body change and get shoved to the side before the side-effects of the ray's blast took over and he blacked out.

Perry blinked, the light hurting his sensitive eyes as he pried them open. He lifted a hand to block the light. Wait my hand! Perry shot up and looked at himself. A brown trench coat, blue jeans, and a teal t-shirt clad his human body. Perry the Platypus was human. Perry stumbled to his feet and looked out a window, but paid the most attention to his reflection. His face was slightly tan, and his teal-blue hair was shaggy and framed his face, bringing out his chocolate-brown eyes. To top it off, a fedora hat identical to the one he wore as an agent topped his head. Perry was human, about the age of nineteen.
A though struck the man, and he gasped. "Zinny!" He whirled, and a lighter shade of teal crossed his vision. A young woman, about eighteen, lay under a pile of debris. Her long teal hair framed her pixie-like face that was scrunched in pain; arms sprawled out in front of her, lower body buried. The trench coat she wore was identical, but more feminine, to the one he himself wore, and a brown and black fedora haphazardly lay on the floor beside her head. She was knocked out, but Perry remembered.
It was supposed to be him lying under that rubble.
Perry ran to his partner's side and placed his hands under her arms and carefully dragged her clear of the debris to the clear spot he himself had woken up in. He cradled the teen in his arms, and leaned down to whisper in her ear, hoping to wake her up.
"Why did you do that, Zinny? It should have been me that was to be hit by that rubble, not you. Wake up, Zinny. Please."
Perry was surprised at how easily talking came to him. He guessed it was from all of the listening he had done. As he gazed at the girl in his arms, he wondered how he had fallen so hard for her, so fast. Love at first sight, he guessed. So it does exist. Wait, love? Where had he gotten that? Then, Perry realized, it was true.
He, Perry the former-Platypus, loved this smart, talented, and beautiful girl in his arms.
Perry pressed a button on his watch, the SOS button that would immediately alert headquarters that he needed help. He would have to wait for help to arrive before searching for Doofenshmirtz. He was a good guy, he wouldn't punish Doofenshmirtz for hurting his partner. Not too much, at least.
But what was the point of being one of the good guys if you can't save the one you love?
