Authors Note: Sequel to Stranded, oh yeah! The name is still pending so if you guys think of a better name after reading the first chapter then leave it in a review or PM me or something. This might be short but it's just a start off. Carl IS hard to write for. I'm trying though.

"I can't believe Dennis is dead." Pinky whimpered to his friends.

Pinky the Chihuahua, Perry the Platypus, Terry the Turtle and Peter the Panda were looking through a large glass window in the OWCA medical unit. On the table was a completely bald rabbit with a gas mask over its mouth and nose, wrapped in a white straight jacket. Its eyes were closed and it started to breathe slower and slower.

Terry put a hand on the shaking dogs shoulder "It'll be alright Pinky; at least he's not running around on the loose anymore. He can't hurt any innocent people or civilians now."

"Yeah, that's true." Pinky yapped "And tomorrow IS the one year anniversary of when we were stranded on that island, maybe the universe is trying to prove a point. I'm glad he's dead!"

"Pinky, that's a terrible thing to say!" Terry scolded "I'm surprised at you; you should never wish somebody bad will. It's rude and very wrong."

"But Dennis is evil! You said so yourself and I also heard you say that one time when we were all called in to search for him late at night that you wished a car would hit him so you wouldn't have to be bothered."

"It's true I did say that but I was just tired and Dennis IS evil but no one deserves to die."

"Not even Dennis?"

"Not even Dennis." Terry shook his head.

Carl stepped out of the side door and into the hall. He walked up to the animals.

"It shouldn't be too long now; I really wish this didn't have to happen…" The ginger looked down at the ground "It's always hard seeing one of you go rogue and end up like this…but I don't have to worry about you guys now do I?" He reached down and scratched Terry's head. The turtle chittered and gave a thumbs up.

"I'm glad." Carl smiled and stood upright "Let's get out of here, I think you've all seen enough. The last thing we need is for Pinky to get traumatized by this."

The Chihuahua smiled sheepishly and Carl laughed.

"Just kidding Agent P."

Perry looked up at him.

"Don't think I forgot about you either Agent P." The intern ruffled the agent's hat.

The platypus pushed his hat back from over his eyes and smiled. Peter tugged on Carl's pants and the ginger looked down.

"Oh sorry Peter, I forgot you were there. You're very quiet! Well as far as I know, panda's don't make sounds. But don't feel too bad Agent P, silence is golden after all. Wow we really need a better naming system for you guys. It's really getting confusing."

The panda hugged the intern's leg and purred, closing his eyes and rubbing his head against him. The other three animals soon joined and copied Peter. Carl kneeled down to hug the four purring animals.

All the animals at the agency appreciated Carl; he was caring and nice to them. They respected Major Monogram sure but he was strictly business and too busy being a boss to spend time with them or play with them or offer any close relationship with the animals. The major cared about the agents of course; he cared for their safety and well-being while on missions and things like that but the intern acted closer, more like…a mother figure if you will. Yeah I know you're probably laughing at the thought of Carl acting motherly but I needed some type of reference to a caring figure and a mom fit the platypus bill perfectly. Not that I'd know anything about a caring mother figure but that's just me.

Anyways, the intern tried desperately not to pick favorites but over the years he had become increasingly fond of Terry, Pinky, and Perry… and to a lesser extent Peter. He didn't hate or not like Peter but if the panda wasn't there, he generally wouldn't notice. Peter hasn't realized it but that's probably because of the lack of attention he got after his owner's had died in a fire, he never got a replacement host family after that. The panda didn't want to risk the feeling of loss coming back so he lived at the agency in one of the dorms there. It was easier and he spent the most time with Carl out of all of them, it's a wonder how the intern barely shows any interest in him when they're always near each other.

"Aw, come on now. What happened to the tough highly trained agents I helped train? You guys are going soft, maybe I should stop being so nice to you."

Terry growled in a 'don't even think about it' kind of way. If that makes any sense at all in this god-awful story I'm trying to write.

"You guys know I'm only kidding, I could never be mean to anyone."

Perry crossed his arms and glared at the teen. Carl looked at him and then looked down, suddenly remembering that one time he turned completely evil and took over the OWCA. He always felt extremely guilty whenever that was brought up. Major Monogram- as punishment for what he did- made the intern sit and listen in great detail to everything that had happened that day after deciding that that was enough punishment as it is. Carl being that he was always good-natured and all, it was the perfect punishment. He wore leather and nearly killed Agent P. Yes, made disappear doesn't necessarily mean 'nearly killed' but those inators could have done anything when shot all at once. They were lucky that it only did what it had done and not something deadly. Only one good thing came out of all of this, the intern found that he looked good in leather and with eyebrows. As they say…

Eyebrows can make anyone evil…and sexy but was it all worth it in the end? He was defeated and nearly lost his job and lost Agent P forever. He had even sung with back up dancers! Everyone knows only evil people do that! How could he have allowed himself to sink so low?

The platypus eyes softened and he chattered softly. He shouldn't have brought that up, he knew how much it upset the intern. Perry patted him on the shoulder.

"I deeply regret that day, I can't believe I- Agent P you- And…I just- I couldn't-"

Pinky whimpered and Peter shook his head, telling him that it was over and they didn't need to discuss it anymore.

"Thanks guys, I really don't how this agency would be without you. Agent P with your boldness…" Carl gestured to Perry who smiled "and Agent T with your persistence. You never give up no matter how hard it is, and Agent P, yeah you get scared but you're eager and that's what makes you great." He gestured to Pinky who shook happily "And you Agent P…"

Peter closed his eyes and held his head up waiting for the intern to say something positive about him but when he didn't hear anything he opened his eyes. Carl seemed to be having trouble doing so. The intern stared at the panda for what felt like an eternity before he finally spoke again.

"You make good rice?"

The panda narrowed his eyes at the intern.

"How about we go and get some ice cream from the cafeteria? Or a taco, it is taco day after all."

The agents nodded except for Peter who was still glowering at the teen. Carl got up and turned his back to them. Peter grabbed a metal IV stand and held it high above his head ready to whack the intern. Perry and Terry both tried to pry it from his hands and Pinky watched with wide eyes. Carl had his back turned and didn't notice this, he was about to turn around and see them when there was a loud 'boom' and Pinky tackled the intern to the side and out of the way of a falling vent cover. The vent cover crashed to the ground. Peter was in so much shock that he stopped pulling for the metal stand. Perry recovered from his small shock quickly and snatched the IV stand from the panda's hands, glaring at him.

Dennis jumped from out of the vents, his body full of fur and fully aware. Terry helped Carl to his feet and they all stared at the rabbit.

"Dennis?" Peter raised an eyebrow and talked as if he wasn't just trying to bludgeon the young intern standing next to him "But that doesn't make any sense, you're in there" The panda pointed to the window.

Everyone looked through the window at the identical rabbit on the table.

"Yeah." Dennis smirked and pointed to the rabbit in the room "I'm not in there."

Terry rolled his eyes "Thank you captain obvious."

Pinky looked confused "But if you're out here, then who's in there?"

"Her name's Dara." Dennis told them. "She's very nice and even I have to admit, VERY pretty…well she WAS before that procedure you did that was meant for me."

Perry jumped into action and ran into the room; he pulled the mask off and turned off the gas. He breathed a sigh of relief that she was ok. After making sure she was going to be ok he stomped out into the hallway towards the rabbit smirking back at him. The platypus made a jump for him but Pinky grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

Terry glared daggers at the rabbit "I don't understand it. You could have faked your death and gotten away scot-free. Why choose to come back? Are you that stupid and desperate for attention, Dennis?"

"No, no I'm not. I came back for Agent P actually."

The agents looked around, waiting for him to clarify which one he was talking about. When he didn't clarify anything, Pinky spoke up.

"Um, which Agent P are you talking about Dennis?"

"That's none of your business Pinky."

"But if you're talking about me then isn't that my business?"

"Nope, it's not."

"But there's like…" Pinky counted on his paws (how that's possible without miscalculation I do not know) "Five Agent P's"

Terry looked between the Chihuahua and rabbit. He pulled up the last finger on Pinky's hand, making six fingers instead of five.

"As much as I love to see your amazing counting skills Pinky, I'm afraid I have to go now." Dennis jumped just as Terry and Perry lunged for him. The two agents landed in a heap on the floor, glaring up at the rabbit standing in the windowsill. Pinky tried to jump for him but Agent T grabbed his foot and pushed back so he landed in Carl's arms. Peter stood guard next to the intern; someone had to protect him in case Dennis tried something.

They all watched as Dennis saluted and jumped out the window. Terry pushed Perry off of him and ran to the window, all he saw were the empty streets of Danville. There was no sign of the crazy rabbit anywhere, not even a flash of white.

The turtle growled and closed the window, locking the top of it. Terry turned to the platypus and chittered.

"I'm fine." Perry chattered and dusted himself off, getting to his feet again.

Terry gave Carl an expecting look.

"I'm fine Agent T, just a little shaken that's all."

The turtle nodded and turned to Pinky "Are you alright Pinky?"

"I'm fine." The Chihuahua leaned against Carl, sitting in his arms "Why didn't you let me stop him? I could have done it."

"Pinky my job is to keep you safe, if I let you near Dennis than that would be doing the exact opposite of what my job implies."

"I wish you'd quit that job and get back to your job of being an agent. Dennis is loose again and the citizens of Danville are in danger, what about that job?"

"The citizens of Danville are safe; Dennis has no use for them and won't harm anyone unless he's crossed. I doubt anyone is going to pay any attention to a rabbit running around down town. Well maybe animal control but that's only if they're lucky enough to catch him and that would solve all of our problems right there but since he's a former agent and can't be captured by us, I doubt a man with a net will catch him anytime soon. Plus he said he's after one of us agents. He said Agent P but that could be anyone out of the six Agent P's in the agency, including you Pinky and if he thinks he's getting anywhere near you then he's got another thing coming. He'll have to get through me first."

"I'm okay too if anyone cared to know." Peter said, completely ignoring the speech Terry had just given.

"Well, I should probably get this place cleaned up and make sure the other rabbit is going to be okay. I'm also going to have to explain to Major Monogram why Dennis is out on the streets again…" Carl sighed and headed for the door into the room "I'll see you guys' later okay?"

After the intern closed the door the four agents sighed.

"Poor Carl" Pinky said "He really doesn't get a break, poor guy."

"This is all Dennis' fault" Peter stomped his foot.

"Shut up Peter, no one likes you and neither does Carl." Terry stomped out of the medical unit.

"Oh dear." Pinky put a paw to his mouth "He didn't mean that Peter, he's just mad about Dennis. A lot of people like you…Terry, wait!" The Chihuahua ran after his friend, leaving just the panda and platypus alone in the empty hallway.

"People like me right?" Peter asked the platypus.

Perry ran out of the medical unit, leaving the panda alone in his thoughts.

People liked him…right?
