McCracken got off of me to go over and talk to the ladies. I sat up and pressed where his mechanical spur had pierced my skin. Whether or not he knew it he had poisoned me. Since he wasn't a platypus he had had to use real poison instead of it mostly just hurting. After keeping my hat off and dragging Doof away from the area as 'Steven' as he called me I went home to my owners.
When everyone went to bed I laid down next to Phineas and rubbed my head on him like a cat or dog would.
"Hey Perry what is it?"
I flipped over to my back to let him see. He quickly found the scratch and looked over to Ferb with worry in his eyes.
"Ferb, it's Perry, his stomach is pierced slightly I think he ran into another platypus."
Ferb walked over and saw quickly they both ran me over to their mom's and dad's room.
Soon we were all in the car racing to the vet.
Dr. Alicia looked at the cut then looked up.
"It's not platypus poison that's for sure, but it is poison. Someone did this to him on purpose."
I was now lying on my back feeling tired. Already there was some throw up next to the bed.
"Will he be okay?" It was Phineas.
"I'm going to treat it then he can go home, but you'll have to watch him for these symptoms."
She handed Phineas a piece of paper.
Over the month I got better. Once after my mission I took off my hat and told Doof about it as Steven. We would talk and I got better faster. Phineas and Ferb were more careful with how much they fed me and always checked me for scratches before bed. That was kind of bad because I had to fight Doof. At nighttime I had to endure Phineas and Ferb's suspicious glares before bed.
