Hey people! Thanks for selecting my story for reading. Please enjoy this different take on a romance starring Perry from Phineas and Ferb. This is just the Prologue, it will give you a bit of ground work for what the story will be about. Please read! I would also like to say that I do not own the show Phineas and Ferb nor am I associated with the show at all other then being a really geeky fan. I also don't own Apple or any of their products, I just wanted you to get an idea of what I was talking about. I didn't want to replace the word with something else because there is nothing else to describe it. All rights to these products go to their respective owners, now without further ado, skip past the line and read!

Prologue

The turquoise platypus took the yellow-green tennis ball that was in her right hand and bounced it against the opposite wall of the prison cell and caught it with her bright orange tail. She had been doing this for what seemed to her to be hours. There were no windows to the outside, only a framed picture of a sunny, cloudless day. The light above her flickered as if the light bulb was about to go out. The door to the cell was on the same wall she was bouncing the ball off of and its barred window was far too small for her to squeeze through, despite her small size. She let out a chattering sigh and started bouncing the ball again. Her skill made it easy to bounce the ball at about the same rate, its angle never really changing so the pattern could continue without her having to get up. She throws with the right hand, it bounces off of the wall opposite, and she catches it on the left side of her body with her tail. The only toy she had to lift her dreary spirits.

After the 999th consecutive bounce, the cell door opened. The platypus caught the ball with her left hand this time, and as she saw who was coming through the door, she began to squeeze the ball in a subdued fit. The person who had entered was a woman with short black hair with one white streak across the right side of her head as if that spot was hit with lightning.

"Give me the ball, Penelope," said the woman, addressing the platypus.

Penelope only narrowed her eyes, hatred for the situation she was in seeping out of her as thick as honey. She reluctantly handed over the toy. She straightened her posture, crossed her hands in her lap, and waited for what she expected to be a lecture.

The woman sat there with a half grin on her face, the side of her head with the white streak facing Penelope more than the other side. "You know what I see before me?" asked the woman.

Penelope rolled her eyes and carefully placed the palm of her right hand below her beak. She waited for the woman's answer.

"I see a pathetic waste of good resources, I mean, look at you, you Penelope are someone who is a drain to our society; more so lately than ever before. That is the reason why he put you here."

Penelope shrugged. She blinked very slowly and hoped that the woman would catch the hint, but she either was ignoring her or was ignorant to what the signal meant.

"Here is my plan for you, are you ready?" the woman asked in a menacing voice.

Penelope blinked again, this time from a much further disinterest than before.

"I am sending an I-Pad full of the entire platypus population in the Tri-State Area. Then, you will look through them and tell me if any of them look familiar. Well, you won't tell me, but you'll message me. I have a feeling that someone you know will be among the platypus population. I bid you adieu, you will receive the I-Pad at lunch, and remember, if you get even a semblance of a platypus that looks familiar, you will I.M. me, understood?"

Penelope sat upright and nodded as gravely as she could manage.

"Good, and no, I won't give you your ball back, here is what I have for you, enjoy." The woman gave Penelope a poster tube and left the cell, locking it behind her. Penelope took the poster out of the tube, and when she unrolled it, she rolled her eyes again. Typical of them to give me a poster of a kitten hanging on a branch with the caption: "Hang in there," thought Penelope. Nonetheless, she hung it up, just below the picture of the sunny day. She smiled at herself as she lay down onto her bench. She stared at the ceiling for a bit, then closed her eyes and tried to imagine a sunny day; a sunny day far, far away from her bondage.

In Danville, a certain familiar-looking teal platypus was chilling in the shade with his favorite owners, Phineas and Ferb. It was a beautiful summer day, June 1st, to be exact. Perry, the teal platypus, couldn't imagine a day any better than this one. Major Monogram hadn't called him in for work yet. He was savoring the moment with his boys. *Buzz* Perry's watch started giving off its usual alarm. Perry groaned inwardly. So much for savoring the moment, thought Perry. He made sure his boys weren't looking and headed off for his lair. He shook off the stupid look that he used with his owners, and immediately in its place came a look that could cut through steel. He got up on two feet, put on his fedora, headed down to his lair, sat down in his chair, and waited for Major Monogram to give him his mission for the day. He expected the same stuff that he typically got, Dr. Doofenshmirtz was up to something and he had to put a stop to it. Boy, was he in for a shock, a shock that would change both his life and Penelope's life forever.
