Disclaimer: I don't own Perry, Dr. Doofenshmirtz, or any other characters from Phineas and Ferb, or the song "Downtown" by Lady Antebellum.
Perry's POV
Pansy and I crashed through the ceiling of DEI. We automatically got trapped in giant plastic cupcakes. Luckily our heads fit through a hole on the top. I looked around the lab. I saw Doof working on a half-finished machine. There was a finished -inator, too.
"You built two?" I asked critically.
"No, this is tomorrow's inator. That one is todays." He explained and stepped away from the unfinished machine. "This one is pretty complicated, so I decided to start today. Try not touch it, you never know what could happen if it went off."
"Okay. But cupcakes? Really?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, that is the Cupcake-Disintegrator-inator. It all started when I went to Carly's Cupcakes, that cupcake shop downtown. The reason isn't important.
Anyways, they were out of cupcakes. Out of cupcakes, Perry the Platypus! And the word 'cupcake' is in the name! Isn't that maddening? So I built the -inator so when they finally have cupcakes like they're supposed to, they'll be disintegrated! Serves them right!" He crossed his arms and smirked.
"You could just make cupcakes, you know. You're a good cook." I frowned at him.
"How would you know that?" Doof asked me suspiciously.
"Remember when we had that sugar rush?" I smiled.
"Oh yeah, that was fun! We should do that again sometime..." Doof smiled, too.
"A sugar rush?" Pansy said in confusion.
"Yeah, one day we ate a lot of sugary foods and we were basically jumping off the WALLS!" Doof tripped over a loose screw, and it flew in the direction of the unfinished -inator. It bounced off a big red button, sending a laser towards Pansy and I.
I braced myself for the oncoming green laser. I felt a burning sensation, and I forced myself not to scream as I fell to the ground. Then the -inator exploded, setting up a chain reaction, and the Cupcake-Disentigrator-inator exploded, too. Smoke filled the room, making all three of us cough.
When the smoke finally started to clear, I stumbled to my feet. The room looked... bigger than usual. 'Great,' I thought, 'He shrunk his apartment.'
When Doof saw me, he gasped dramatically.
"What?" I asked suspiciously.
"N-nothing. Just... everything's fine." His voice sounded higher than usual.
"Seriously, what's wrong? What did you do?" My eyes widened as I slowly lifted my hands up. To my surprise, they were human hands! I gasped and looked down at my body self-cautiously. Luckily, I had dark brown pants on, along with a teal shirt that was the color of my fur. I also had a tie that looked rather similar to my tail. I had shoes that were darker than my pants, and orange socks.
"...You turned us into-" I was cut off by Pansy's loud, girlish scream. The stumbled out of the smoke, her face red with either embarrassment or anger, maybe both.
"You idiot!" She growled. "Your stupid -inator turned us into humans!"
Doof blushed as he stared at her in surprise. She had a brown tank-top dress the color of her fur, shoulder-length hair the same color, orange high heels, and a cloth belt around her dress at the hips that looked like her tail. I had to admit, she looked great, even though she looked like she wanted to kick someone between the legs. I hoped that unlucky fellow wouldn't be me.
"I... I..." Doof didn't know what to say.
"Fix. It." Pansy glared at our nemesis in rage. Doof swallowed and ran out of the room, probably to get parts. I hate to say that I actually felt bad for him.
When Pansy and I were alone, I cautiously looked into her eyes. She looked utterly heartbroken. I stepped closer and took her hand.
"Hey, it's gonna be alright. Even though Doof acts like an idiot, he's really pretty smart. He'll fix this." I reassured her, my voice sounding more confident then I really was. Pansy just looked at up at me, tears shining in her dark brown eyes. She forced a smile.
"Your hair is teal." She chuckled. I stepped aside to a mirror, and I saw that my hair was the color my fur had been.
"So it is." I agreed. "And I'm taller than you."
"That's not fair!" Pansy pouted. "We were the same height as platypuses!"
I smiled at her humorously.
"And you have heels." I snickered.
Pansy sighed dejectedly. "They're uncomfortable. How can people run in these?"
"The answer's simple. They can't." Pansy laughed at my ridiculous answer.
But then she seemed to remember our current situation, and she looked at the ground.
"Hey, look on the bright side." I suggested.
"What is the bright side?" She asked me sadly.
"At least we came with clothes." I answered in mock seriousness. Pansy laughed.
"Yeah, that would have been embarrassing..." She thought aloud.
"Yes." I laughed. "Doof would have fallen to the floor laughing or turned as red as a tomato, maybe both."
"Probably." Pansy sighed and walked over to one of Doof's couches and sat down. I sat beside her and wrapped an arm around her lovingly. Then Doof walked into the room with a box of parts. Pansy glared at him as he walked over to the charred remains of the -inators.
"Wait, what was that -inator supposed to do anyways?" I asked him suspiciously.
"It was supposed to turn people into random animals…" He answered.
"But when it hit animals... It turned them into humans? That actually makes sense..." I thought aloud. "How long is it going to take to fix it?"
"Probably a few days." Doof answered sadly. "I need new metal to build it again, and I may need to re-design it so it would turn you into your prior forms."
"How am I even surprised?" Pansy muttered angrily.
"You know what, this has been enough excitement for right now. I'd like to find things to do that I couldn't do as a platypus, you know?" I suggested. "Like ride a bus! Yes! Now I can legally ride a bus!"
Pansy rolled her eyes. "I can't believe you're getting so excited about riding a bus."
"Well, what else could we not do as animals?" I asked her in exasperation.
"I don't know! I'm happy with just taking a walk around Danville, though." Pansy smiled hopefully at our nemesis.
"Sure, we could take a break." Doof agreed. "And since I got you into this whole mess in the first place, we can go out to lunch. My treat."
"That's really nice of you, but you don't have to-" I was cut off.
"No, I will. Come on." Doof led us out of his building.
When we got outside, some kids were playing hopscotch close to the building.
"We could play hopscotch." I smiled.
"You're a human, and the first thing you want to do is play hopscotch?" Pansy giggled. I felt my face heat up.
"It looks fun." I told her. "I'm going to try it." I ignored Pansy's smirk and walked over. I knelt down and smiled nicely at the kids.
"Hello, I'm Perry. Would you mind if I play, too?" I asked them.
"My mommy told me not to talk to strangers." A little girl told me sadly.
"Oh." I frowned. "Did she ever tell you not to play with strangers?"
"... No." The little girl said.
"Then you wouldn't mind if I take a go, would you?" I smiled at her. She smiled back and shook her head. I stood up and looked at the foot-long squares lined up on the sidewalk. I took a deep breath and hopped onto the first one. Soon I was at the end, and I clumsily jumped onto the regular sidewalk. The children cheered.
"Okay, I'm going to try, too." Pansy smiled and started to hop across the hopscotch board. Soon she came to a stop beside me. The children clapped again and started to play themselves.
"That was pretty good, considering you have heels on." I complemented. Then a woman walked over to us.
"Lilly, I told you not to listen to strangers." The lady scolded. The little girl I talked to lowered her head in shame.
"No, Ma'am, it was my fault." I explained. "I wanted to play in the first place." The woman nodded and smiled at me.
"My, you're a strange bunch." She said as Doof joined us.
"We used to be secret agent platypuses." I tried to explain. "Then our nemesis turned us into humans with his -inator that was supposed to turn humans into animals." The lady shot me a strange look and walked away with her child. "I think we scared her away." I chuckled.
"Yeah, that may not have been the best way to explain what happened." Pansy laughed and shrugged. "Oh well." We continued down the street.
Soon we came to a few men playing various instruments. I smiled as we listened to the upbeat music. After the song finished, I smiled mischievously at Pansy.
"Aww, that's your 'idea' face." Pansy sighed. "Try not to hurt yourself."
I shook my head at her response and got out my guitar. The men looked at me curiously as I started to play it. Pansy recognized to tune and rolled her eyes at me. Then she started singing, and the other men joined in with their instruments, too.
Well, all the parties on the streets are talking, store front mannequins sleeping in lights.
We used to smoke while we were jaywalking like it was your birthday every other saturday night.
Knew the bands so we never payed our cover.
Wrote our names on the bathroom tiles.
We never dressed to impress all the others,
They would let us in on our laid back kind of style.
But boy you know it's been a while.
I don't know why you don't take me downtown like you got anywhere better to be.
Talk it up and give me the go round, round like a good time tease.
I'm only counting on your cancellation,
When I should be counting on you at my door.
Did you forget about how we went around,
I don't know why you don't take me downtown anymore.
Ohhhhhhhh anymore.
I got some platforms sitting in the corner.
They wanna stroll on a city sidewalk.
I got a dress that'll show a little uh uh but you ain't gettin' uh uh if you
don't come pick me up,
Show me off,
You might be tired, but I'm not!
And I don't know why you don't take me downtown like you got anywhere better to be.
Talk it up and give me the go round, round like a good time tease.
I'm only counting on your cancellation,
When I should be counting on you at my door.
Did you forget about how we went around,
I don't know why you don't take me downtown anymore.
I played a big guitar solo, followed by another one of the men.
I don't know why you don't take me downtown like you got anywhere better to be.
Talk it up and give me the go round round like a good time tease.
I'm only counting on your cancellation,
When I should be countin on you at my door.
Did you forget about how we went around,
I don't know why you don't take me downtown anymore.
Ohhh anymore.
Yeaaaaah I don't know why you don't take me downtown,
I don't know why you don't take me downtown anymore.
I just don't get it
A small crowd had gathered around us. Several people threw money into one of the hats that the men put down. They smiled gratefully at us before we continued down the street.
