Doofenshmirtz was pacing around his apartment building, waiting for his nemesis.
"…Where is he…? Gee…I hope something horrible happened to him…"
But we all know that's not his thoughts at all. He was actually worried as an evil scientist can get. He kept biting his nails, scratching the back of his neck, looking at the door….staring at the door.
"….He he…. the door looks weird without it knocked down or with no holes in it…"
His pacing turned into slight jogging, which turned into running…which turned in fact to a frantic mass panic with his arms flailing over his head. But then he stopped and just looked at the door once more. He truly was curious on where Perry the Platypus was. Why wasn't he here on time? Why isn't he here? Why am I asking questions the reader might be thinking? Reluctantly, he plopped on the sofa and let the soft fabric suck him in. He put him elbow on the armrest and relaxed his head in his palm, sighing while playing with some lint on his white lab coat. Almost an hour past before he looked at his still-hole-less door. He decided enough's enough! He was going to see where Perry was, whether he liked it or not. He raced toward his door and swung the door open and ran out…and ran right into a ginger-haired girl, both crash landing on the ground. The girl raised her hand to her head rubbing it in pain.
"Owwww…..what's the hurry?
The brown-haired scientist smiled bashfully and turned away
"…Perry the Platypus didn't show up…I was going to try and find him…."
"T-hat has to be the sweetest thing I ever head!"
"S-shuttup!"
He was blushing madly was Vicky was grinning a huge fan-girl grin.
"Well you don't have to go look for him, He actually sent me here to tell you he's sick"
The embarrassed doctor looked at her with a little relief. He got up and started walking towards the exit. Vicky jumped up and grabbed his lab coat sleeve trying to pull him back.
"Hey! Hey! Whoa! You don't have to go looking for him! I told you where he was!"
He shrugged her off smiling at her
"I know. I just want to but some get-well-soon flowers for him…you know…in a non awkward way of course"
"Suuuuuuuuure it's not"
"S-shuttup!"
She grinned letting go of his sleeve, but keeping close at his heels. Once they walked a good 10 minutes, they walked into Danville's Flowers. Once they walked inside, they both heard a familiar voice….er…yell. Well…a crash, a screams, and THEN a yell.
"Godammit! F*CKING FLOWER VASE! Oww….why did it have to break on my arm….crap that was one of the expensive ones…that's so coming out of my pay check…."
The two perked up their ears as they moved closer to the storage room.
"…Steph…?"
The brunette girl got up, holding her arm as she started turning her head towards them.
"Y-yeah?"
Vicky sprang up and raced towards her, glomping her with everything she had
"Oh my God! I didn't know you worked here!"
"Gahh! Y-yeah I do…today was my first day…and I think my last day…"
She waved her hand at the broken flower vase of the floor. It was a light blue vase, with tiny diamonds inside it, and gold painted on the rim.
"That vase coasted $2,000, and I broke it. I'm soooo fired"
She put her hands to her face sobbing. Vicky came over to her, placing her arms around her shoulder, hugging her in a friendly-I-care way.
"Don't worry…can't you just hide the pieces…?"
"No…I was supposed to put 3-dozen white and pink roses in that and deliver it later this afternoon! Crap…I needed this job…"
"Why do you need this job so badly"
Steph looked up at her, red-eyed. She stoke her head.
"I…I needed this job to get $1,000 by the end of the school year."
"Why in the name of the lordy lord do you need $1,000?
"A…a ticket to london…"
