Chapter 2: Knowing Perry
Perry was no ordinary platypus. This teal-furred semi-aquatic mammal led a double life. Some of the time, he was Phineas's seemingly harmless pet, but for the rest of the time⦠He was a secret agent working for the Organization Without a Cool Acronym, or O.W.C.A. as most people preferred to call it. He was known there as the fearless Agent P, the best out of all the others. Truthfully, he loved his job. It gave him something to do that he liked, and he got paid for it! But, the real reason he loved it the most was probably the person he was sent to fight every day. His nemesis, Doofenshmirtz, was why he enjoyed being an agent so much.
Perry pressed a panel that blended into the pillar that he was hiding behind, and fell down a slide. He landed with a thump in his chair, and a man on the screen started talking almost immediately.
"Good morning, Agent P." spoke Major Monogram, always starting his debriefings like that. "As you know, Dr. Doofenshmirtz is up to his old tricks again. He's recently purchased a large quantity of food, streamers, and balloons. You know what to do." He finished, and Perry gave a salute before heading to one of his many vehicles.
Today he was using his rocket car, something he rarely used. He took off, and in no time at all, he could see that all-too familiar outline of Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated. The platypus smiled to himself, and then quickly regained that mask he kept on whenever he was around the evil scientist. He landed on the balcony, and snuck his way inside. Perry slowly traveled, trying not to get discovered. And when he was about to take another step, he heard a soft buzzing noise. He looked down, and mentally gasped as he noticed that he had stepped on a button. Suddenly, he was tied up in what seemed like thin, pink rope, and was soon dangling ten feet from the floor.
"Ah, Perry the Platypus! You're early today." Doofenshmirtz pointed out, but shrugged it off. "Anyway, I bet you're wondering what I'm doing with all of the stuff I've bought, right? Well, it's a surprise! And, FYI, Perry the Platypus, it's not evil. So, you can just, ya know, go home. Or would you like to stay and, oh, I dunno, hang out or something?" When the fifteen dollar doctor was done rambling, he looked at Perry, waiting for him to answer.
The relationship between the two was complex. Actually, complex was the understatement of the year. At first, the two nemeses acted like such. They hated each other with a passion, and lived to hate the other. But, over the years, Perry had noticed several changes. Both in himself and in their relationship. Lately, whenever he was closer to the doctor, he felt warmness in his stomach. Whenever he saw his face, his heart rate quickened. He blushed whenever he even thought of Doofenshmirtz. Perry had thought it was just a phase, but it never passed. He didn't know what was wrong with him, and it was scaring Perry a bit.
"Hello? Earth to Perry the Platypus. Are you even listening to me?" whined Doofenshmirtz, feeling a little ticked off that the mammal in front of him was ignoring him. Perry was brought out of his thoughts, only to see how close the doctor's face was to his. He blushed a light pink, and tried to scoot away, anything to gain some distance between the two.
"Are you okay? You look a little flushed. Are you sick, Perry?" the man asked, but Perry could detect something unusual in the question. Could it be concern? The truth was, Doofenshmirtz didn't like to see the platypus injured or sick, however rare that might be.
"Maybe you should stay for a while. I may not be an official doctor, but I am one nonetheless." The doctor offered, and, strangely, Perry wanted to stay and spend as much time as he could with the man in front of him. The mammal nodded, and was released from his trap, never realizing that it wasn't rope that he was caught in. It was streamers.
"I had some left over. You know me, Perry the Platypus. Recycling and all that. The couch is over there if you want a place to lie down. If you want a blanket or anything, I'll be in the other room." And with that, he left. Perry went over and sat on the couch. He never missed how nice his nemesis was recently. It put a smile on Perry's bill.
Minutes later, Doofenshmirtz went to check up on his little nemesis. It wasn't like he CARED for the mammal! He just wanted to check that Perry hadn't left to snoop around or something like that. What he came upon was priceless. Perry was on his couch, rolled up in a little ball, dead asleep. A small grin came onto his face, and went to retrieve something. When he came back, he held a blanket in his arms. He covered Perry with the teal-colored blanket, and stood back to let the moment sink in. Doofenshmirtz suddenly felt a desire to kiss the other's forehead, but just as his lips were about to meet Perry's forehead, he thought better of it. He stood up quickly, and dashed out of the room, almost like he was embarrassed about the situation. But, he wasn't. Right?
