Here it is, chapter two. Yayness.

Also, a little slashy there at the end.

A few days past since the incident with Dr. Doofenshmirtz, Perry was now playing his role as a mindless domestic pet. Phineas was holding him while the boys made their way back from the Pet Shop only a few blocks from their house. The young red haired boy looked from the pet to his step bother. "You know, for a pet that doesn't do much Perry sure eats a lot."

The slightly taller boy, Ferb, looked at large bag of canned food he held and nodded silently in agreement.

As they rounded the corner Phineas called out excitedly, "Hey, look at that!"

Perry's gaze followed to where his owner was pointing and was shocked at what he saw. There in the middle of the sidewalk was a light purple Platypus, waving his arms angrily at the store in front of him. '…Not Doofenshmirtz!' Perry thought in despair as the two boys made their way over to the other Platypus.

Phineas and Ferb listed to the animals angry chitter for a moment. "What do you mean 'No Animals Allowed'?! How am I supposed to get the supplies I need if you won't let m-" He stopped mid-rant when he realized he was no longer alone. Slowly Doofenshmirtz craned his head to the side. "What? What do you want?" The Doctor barked, not noticing the familiarity in the other Platypus.

"Aw, are you lost?" Phineas said sweetly as tried to pet Doofenshmirtz, only to have the ex-human jerk away.

Ferb spoke in a calm manner "He doesn't look very healthy.", taking note of the dark rings still evident under the Platypus' eyes.

The teal colored Platypus glared at the other, as if willing him away. But to his dismay Phineas picked Doofenshmirtz up and held him in his arms right along side Perry. "We should take him home! Tomorrow we can put up posters to find his owner!" The young boy explained to the other. Ferb gave a nod of approval before beginning their trek home again.

The whole time Doofenshmirtz was struggling to break free from the boys hold on him and cursed wildly in German. Finally they made it home and entered the living room, where Phineas placed both Platypus on the couch. "Wait here, I'll be right back!" He said, petting Doofenshmirtz quickly before he and his step bother ran off to find their mother.

The newly made Platypus took a moment to look around the room before noticing the glare the other animal was giving him. "…You look familiar, have we met before?" Perry rolled his eyes before taking out his fedora and placing it on his head. How one little hat changed his entire appearance was beyond his understanding. Doofenshmirtz stared wide eyed for a moment before bursting out, "Perry the Platypus?!?… Well, this is certainly unexpected."

"Get out of here Doofenshmirtz!" Perry growled. The mere thought of having the man… Platypus in his home made his stomach churn.

It took him a moment to register that he had actually understood what the other said. It was strange, he was used to chittering or growls. Finally he shot back just as bitterly, "No need to be rude Perry the-" He paused realizing there wasn't a need to add 'the Platypus', "It's not like I WANT to be here, you know."

The teal colored Platypus pointed toward the sliding glass door. "Then leave!"

Hanging his head slightly, "Oh, I would, but I… Can't." He looked up to see Perry staring, waiting for him to continue. "Well, you remember Norm right? The robot man I built to destroy you. Yeah well, I kind of, you know, forgot to remove the 'kill all Platypus' program. He took one look at me and tried to squish me!" The Doctor noticed no sympathy on the others face and added, "So you're stuck with me until I can figure out a way back into my lab and I can build a 'Reverse-Animal-Inator'."

Before Perry had a chance to respond Phineas and Ferb returned. The green-haired boy picked Doof up while the other spoke. "Great news boy! Mom said you can stay until we find you're owner! Isn't that great?!" The purple Platypus gave the other a smug look before giving the boy his best chitter impersonation.

For the rest of the afternoon the two mammals glared at each other from across the living room. Neither liked the idea of being near the other in such an awkward situation like this. It wasn't long before everyone was called for dinner and the two were placed next to identical food bowls.

He stared at the bowl in front of him, questioning it for a moment. It certainly wasn't a 5 star meal, let alone a hamburger, but he was hungry. Slowly Doof took the smallest bite he could and chewed it before his face lit up with excitement. "This stuff is great!" He called between bites of food. Perry just smirked as he watched, 'If only he knew what was in it.'

After the boys finished eating Phineas picked Doofenshmirtz up and placed him in Perry's pet bed located in the living room. He bent down and picked Perry up. "You can sleep here boy, Perry doesn't use it anyways." As the young boy started towards his room the Platypus in his arms began to struggle for freedom. Pausing a moment he looked at his pet in confusion. "What's wrong, don't you want to go to bed?"

Perry finally slipped from the boys grip and jumped into his pet bed, glaring at Doofenshmirtz, who seemed just as confused as Phineas. "Oh, I get it! You want to sleep with you're friend!" The red-head commented as he pet both animals for a moment before again heading to his room.

Both Platypus blushed slightly at the boys comment. Doofenshmirtz was the first to recover and he tried to push Perry out of the bed with one webbed foot. "I'm not sleeping with you!"

Perry pushed back with a huff. "I'm not leaving you alone so you can sneak off to look for my secret base!"

The thought had actually never accrued to the evil genius and he smirked. "I didn't even think of that, but thanks for the idea!" He began pushing Perry again. "Now get out of the bed, I was here first, you can sleep on the floor!"

"I'm not sleeping on the floor! It's my bed!", the teal animal spat before kicking the other in the stomach.

He took a moment to recover from the blow before laying down, hanging his hind legs and tail off the side. "Fine, but I warn you, I snore really loudly… And drool." Perry just rolled his eyes at the unnecessary information as he took his place at the other end of the tiny bed.

Perry opened his eyes slowly, feeling a pleasing warmth all over his front. But what he saw made his face flush a dark crimson. Right up against him was Doofenshmirtz, with the same wide-eye stare and blush on his face. Their bills were only centimeters from each other. They had their arms around the other, holding on tightly. Both stared at each other for what seemed like eternity. Too embarrassed and shocked to move. Fortunately a bright flash from above jolted the two apart.

"Aww. Isn't that cute!" Linda, the boys mother, cooed as she pulled the Polaroid picture from the camera. She walked away waving the picture in an attempt to make it develop faster.

Doofenshmirtz and Perry sat there, shocked, embarrassed and confused. "Wow, that was embarrassing." Heinz stated after clearing his throat.
