Chapter 2: Carnival/Green and Pink
Perry lifted his body and hovered across the street. Cars stopped and people yelled at Perry to "Move it you stupid platypus!" and 'Platypuses can hover?" and "Come on! You'll make me miss my flight!" But Perry blocked out all the complaints; he couldn't hear a thing, he was in a trance, a love trance.
He sighed heavenly, and then he bumped into something. He went back to reality, and opened his eyes. He saw the pink platypus looking at him, when he realized what was going on, he landed on the glass near the pink platypus, who was in the middle of taking a drink in a small pond. He took of his fedora and bowed at her. He put the hat back on his head. Then the pink platypus chatted (Um, what the heck are you doing?" Perry was shocked, yet he chattered too (Well I bowed to you, you see that how humans do to greet pretty girls like yourself, they bow). The pink platypus looked at him and chatted again ((You think I'm pretty?) Perry got down on all fours; the girl platypus did the same.
(Oh yeah) Perry chattered. (I think you're the most gorgeous platypus I ever sat my eyes on)
(So, you think I'm pretty?)
(Yes, a thousand times yes my love.) The other platypus blushed.
(Oh, why thank you, I'm Mandy, what's your name?)
(My name is Perry, but you may call me your sweetheart my little angel) Mandy didn't know what to say, she was blushing again.
(Say, you want to go on a date together say to the skating arena?)
(Oh no.) Mandy shook her head. (I never skated in my life before.)
(Well how about I teach you then?)
(I don't think that's very possible today Perry.) Mandy took another drink of water. Perry looked puzzled.
(Why not today?) Mandy looked at him. (Isn't today Friday the 13th?)
(Yeah!) Perry had no inking what Mandy was getting (So? How does that make a difference?)
(Don't you know Perry?)
(Know what my sweet angel?)
(Friday the 13th, a.k.a, bad luck day! Today is supposed to be filled with random unfortunate events! If I go to you to the skating rink today of all days, I may fall and break the ice and drown to death! There's no way I'm going out today, I'm staying here where nothing can happen to me!) Perry looked at her, his eyebrows raised.
(Oh you have paraskevidekatriaphobics?) Mandy looked at him stunned.
(No! I don't have that complicated word to pronounce meaning fear of Friday the 13th. I simply don't like going out on a Friday the 13th.)
(I think you do.)
(No I don't.)
(Yes you do!)
"Fine you caught me! I have paraker...whatever. I have it, and if I go out, something bad might happen.)
(You're be fine baby, I'll be with you.)
"Well, I... I don't know!)
(Come on sweetheart I'll protect because I'm…) He couldn't help it, he pulled out his fedora. Mandy looked at it, puzzled.
(You aren't an agent working for Major Monogram, are you?) Perry looked surprised. Then he was about to say something, when Mandy continued.
(Because if we are, I better not go out with you.) Perry was shocked!
(Why not?)
(Because I despise the work that Major Monogram gives his agents)
(But we stop our nemesis from doing evil stuff. How can you abhor that?)
(Well to tell you the truth, I worked for Major Monogram a long time ago as Agent M)
(You did? What happened?)
(Well because agents have to go outside, they can get dirty. On all of my missions, I got mud all over my feet.)
(So, why did you quit?)
(I was tired Perry, tired of getting dirty, tired of mud puddles, and tired of being away from my owners a lot, and making them almost have heart attacks, wondering where I am all the time. So when I had enough, I took of my fedora, stomped on it madly, and just left and never came back) she put Perry's hands in hers, and looked at him. (But you're not like that are you Perry? You are not a filthy agent of that stupid Monogram fellow, are you?)
(Ummmmmmmmm….")
(Please tell me you're not an agent Perry. Please!)
(No! No I'm not!) Mandy squealed in happiness as he hugged him. Perry felt bad that he had lied to Mandy, but he felt that he had to do it. Mandy let go.
(So if we're going to the skating rink, we better get a move on. Come on!) She started to go. Perry looked at the side slit, sighed, and followed his girlfriend down the road.
"Hey Mrs. Flynn!" Isabella greeted when she came for a play date.
"Well hello there Isabella." Linda said. "Here to play with the boys?"
"Why yes." She said. "Where are there?"
"There in back, trying to get Candace out of that icicle."
"Okay. Well see ya!" Isabella left into the back yard.
"Isn't she sweet?" Linda asked her husband.
"Yes darling!" Lawrence replied, sitting on the couch reading the news. Linda took one last glance, and then went to continue dusting.
"Hey Phineas." Isabella greeted him and Ferb outside. Phineas did one last hit with the hammer and Candace was free! At last, she could breathe again!
"Hey Isabella!" Phineas turned to her and got off the step ladder. "Whatha' doing here?"
"Well you know tomorrow's Valentine's and I was hoping that we…"
"Tomorrow's Valentine's Day?"
"Yes now I…" Phineas looked at Ferb.
"Ferb, is it?" Ferb then showed him a calendar that said " Thursday, February 12th."
"Oh phrew!" Phineas sighed in relief. "For a second there I was worried. I thought it was the day before you know." Ferb looked at the calendar, realized he'd forgotten to change the date, and ripped of the page, now saying "Fri. February 13th."
"Jeepers Ferb! We got to hurry. Come on, I know what we're going to do today." He quickly dragged Ferb away. Isabella looked after them, and sighed sadly.
"There they go!" She said. "Off to create an awesome something." She did another sigh.
"Well come on Candace." Stacy said to her. She started back to the house. "Lets go help you impress you know who."
"Right!" Candace started to go when Isabella spoke up.
"Candace?" She looked at her." "What do you think Phineas likes?" Candace put her hands on her hips.
"How am I supposed to know?" She wanted to know. "Chocolates, flowers, cards, a cane toad? I don't know! Now I'm very busy Isabella so…"
"How about a carnival?" Stacy suggested. Isabella gasped in delight.
"What?!!" Candace asked shocked. She couldn't believe what her friend was saying. "Stacy, don't get into this!"
"A carnival?" Isabella said. "What made you come up with that crazy idea?"
"Well the boys like to be wild right? And I thought of that mini golf course, those awesome tree houses, and that roller coaster and those other things that they built last summer. And I don't think they had a carnival before, so why not?"
"Really?"
"Yep!"
"Stacy look at her!" Candace told her. "She's too young to construct her own caravel!"
"Well that didn't stop your brothers, did it?" Candace froze, she was right! Stacy walked towards the little girl. "Besides if you believe you can, anything is possible!" She looked at Isabella. "We'll help Isabella."
"Awesome!" Isabella just said.
"What?!" Candace ran beside her friend. "But Stacy, haven't you forgotten about Jeremy? What about impressing him?"
"Well we need to help Isabella first." Her friend told her. "She's too young to build this all by herself. Now come on, we'll worry about your boyfriend later!" Stacy and Isabella ran to get started. Candace sighed. Knowing Stacy, she will never see Jeremy until too late. She then slowly went to help Isabella and her friend.
Meanwhile, at Major Monogram's place, the phone rang. Carl went to pick it up.
"Hello?" He spoke into the phone. "Dr. Doofenshmitz? Why are you…? Oh, I haven't seen Perry today. You want to talk to Major Monogram? Well he's busy at the moment so… What, make him come? Whoa you are evil, well okay, hold on!" He put the phone down, and went to the bathroom. The shower was still occupied, so Carl flushed the toilet. Suddenly, Major Monogram screamed, and burst out. When he saw Carl, he quickly wrapped a bath towl around his waist.
"Carl!" He scolded. "Do you mind? I was in the middle of singing "Rub a Dub- Dub!"
"Sorry sir." Carl told him. "But Dr. Doofenshmitz called. He asked if Perry stopped by yet." Major Monogram gasped.
"What?! Carl I thought we discussed that we were going to call Perry Agent P in this agency!"
"Oh, sorry sir! I forgot, it won't happen again!"
"Good now…" Major Monogram ran towards the phone.
"Perry, I mean Agent P isn't at Dr. D's area? Where the heck is that green platypus?"
"I don't know sir. Maybe the readers know."
"Readers, yeah right! Carl don't be silly this isn't a story, this is reality!"
"Yes sir." Major Monogram picked up the phone.
"Readers, that's so bogus." He muttered to himself. "My assistant has been to crazy town all right!" Then he spoke into the phone. "Hello Dr. Doofenshmitz, what can I do for you?"
"Well Perry the Platypus hasn't ruined my evil deeds yet." Dr. D told him on the other line. In the background, Norm was toying with Dr. D's machines. When Dr. D heard a crash, he turned around.
"Stop it Norm! You'll break something!"
"I..I..your evilness!" The robot responded. Then he looked around. "Hey, I already did break stuff1" Dr. D sighed.
"We'll talk later, okay Norm?"
"Uh oh, sounds like Dr. D has a tough day. After he's done with the phone, I should hug him!" Dr. D sighed, then talked on the phone again.
"So, I wondered if he's with you."
"No." Monogram said. "But I can check on my handheld monitor. He picked up his Game Freak Advance and turned it on.
"Hold on, don't telling me you got your Game Freak Advance out." Dr. D said, hearing its tune. "I'm worrying about my nemesis, and all you can think about is playing games?"
"No." Monogram answered. "This console has a monitor system, so I can track exactly where Agent P is."
"Oh okay, as long as your not playing game; then I'm okay with that!" The screen on the monitor showed Perry and Mandy at the ice rink, Perry was teaching her how to skate.
"Great Scott!" Monogram shouted. He couldn't believe it!
"What? Do you see Perry the Platypus?"
"Yes. He's at the rink with a girl platypus."
"What?! Are you sere he's with a girl?"
"Positive! He's with a pink platypus."
"That doesn't necessary mean it's a girl. It could be a male, and has a pink body."
"IT'S A GIRL DR. D! LIVE WITH IT!"
"Okay, okay, no need to shout! You're giving me a headache."
"Oh sorry! Hmmmm, pink and green, what odd colors for platypuses.
"Wait did you say pink and green?"
"Affirmative!"
"Do you know what that means?" Monogram thought about this for a minute, then he and Dr. D shouted together.
"OH NO! THEY MIGHT MERRY HAVE A PURPLE BABY PLATYPUS!!!!" Then Dr. D talked.
"We got to stop this!"
"I know, but how?"
"How about you track them where they're eating tomorrow, then we'll discuss it from there."
"Sounds like a plan to me. If those two merry and have babies, our show will never be the same again!"
"Uh, what show?"
"I have no idea what you talking about Dr. D."
"But you said…"
"Goodbye!" Then he hung up.
"Okay, that was odd, well see you!" He too hung up. Then he saw Norm, he was about to hug him.
"Huggy time, your evilness." Dr. D moved away from Norm.
"Noton your life Norm."
"But I'm a robot. I don't have a life, I'm only powered by butteries."
"Exactly!" Norm looked hurt.
That night, Perry and Mandy rubbed their noses together, and they both went to sleep on the glass, under the nighttime moon and stars.
