Chapter 2: Hello and Welcome

Doofenshmirtz made absolute sure that he kept the latest project a secret from everyone. Usually he could care less about the "hidden" cameras that the OWCA had put all over his house (although there were times where he thought too much about it and found it kind of creepy in the process), but this was probably the most important inator to work on in his life. So last night, while he was sure that even the ones watching the monitors-usually just Carl the intern-he took a pictures of his home in the correct angles and placed them on the camera lenses. Had he turned off the cameras, the OWCA would have been suspicious and would have sent Perry in a matter of seconds. Doofenshmirtz didn't want to risk his nemesis figuring out his plan, imagining that the secret agent would beat him senseless.

Fooling the OWCA into thinking that he was up to nothing was not easy, and it involved falling from the ceiling several times, but he hoped that this would be all worth it, and that the OWCA would continue thinking that he was up to nothing in particular.

Last night, he learned a little more about the owners, now knowing their names were Phineas and Ferb. He didn't learn too much, other than the fact that they were the ones who saved her from falling to her death in Japan, and that Ferb had helped her get the pizzazium infonionite that one time at the mall. Then he did some research of his own (in other words he googled their names), and gosh were they popular in Danville! He was surprised he never heard about them. Then again, maybe the OWCA managed to keep the owners of their agents on a low profile from villains like himself no matter how known they were to the community.

There were several reasons why this plan was so important, and why he was putting it into motion in the first place:

One, they're Perry's owners. If he found a way to use them for a scheme, or even found a way to kidnap them and threated to do who knows what if Perry continued thwarting him, he'd have the entire Tri-State Area by now!

Two, he wanted to know what made the two boys so known throughout not only Danville, but the entire country, all in one summer that hadn't even come to a close yet. Surely they had some skills in something, but although he did his research, he simply skimmed passed the whole inventing part.

Three, he especially wanted to know who the red-headed boy was, and why the name Phineas seemed to ring a bell more than a name like Ferb.

As he thought more onto it, he had seen those two boys before, along with another, a girl he thought. Doofenshmirtz also remembered someone who looked like him wearing a scar over his eye patch trying to take over what should be his. Of course, Doofenshmirtz always thought it had been a dream, but now he began thinking that something had happened in reality that had to do with those strange fragmented memories.

After what seemed like forever, at around 6:30 am Doofenshmirtz finally finished built the inator; a large lasor controlled by a remote that had only two buttons on it and a long antennae sticking from the top of it, as if it were a walkie-talkie. For once, he hadn't even bothered giving the machine a name. He was too much in a hurry to figure out who these two boys really were.

He kept the inator hidden until his daughter left to go back to her mother's place, which was about an hour away from the penthouse. Then, he got in position of the laser, hoping that he remembered to put an actual reverse switch on the remote, and further more was praying that the inator didn't backfire on him and turn him into something completely different than what he had in mind.

Doofenshmirtz held his breath and pressed on the red button that was above the blue one on the remote, and immediately a bluish-green beam shot out and hit the evil scientist on the chest.

"Morning, Perry," Phineas greeted happily as he ruffled the platypus on the top of his head.

Shortly after Phineas went to get ready for the day, Ferb proceeded to silently do the same thing before following his brother to the bathroom, carrying Perry with him. Today was the platypus's bath day, which happened once or twice a week. Naturally, being a semi-aquatic animal, Perry enjoyed baths, and Phineas and Ferb both enjoyed making their pet as happy as he could be.

The one bad thing about bathtimes was that the boys would wake up pretty early as they always did. No, this wasn't the problem at all. It was the fact that Phineas and Ferb would always get up before their sister, Candace, who would be waiting outside the door, angrilly telling the two to "quit hogging the bathroom!" Neither brothers would even consider this to be hypocritical despite the fact that if it were the other way around, and didn't even have anything to do with the platypus, she'd be in there, styling her hair far longer than the two giving Perry a bath.

Another problem was that sometimes Perry's-waterproof, no doubt-watch would go off during those times, interrupting his rare moments of daydreaming that he were swimming in a giant spring for some odd reason. Speaking of odd, that didn't happen this time. The only noise he heard was Candace's angry screams that quickly stopped when their mother scolded her.

The secret agent platypus was wondering whether or not that was a good thing or a bad thing.

After the bath was down, and he was dried off and petted by his two owners, he snuck outside and went into his base underneath the Flynn/Fletcher property while Phineas and Ferb came outside minutes later to work on their latest project. Down a tube-slide he went, landing squarely on the chair below. The large screen in front of him showed Major Monogram, who said his usual greetings before giving the morning briefing.

"It appears that Doofenshmirtz isn't up to anything," Monogram said, though his voice sounded wary about the whole thing, "He's literally done nothing of the short, it seems. Our cleverly hidden cameras haven't spotted him anywhere."

Perry eyed the major. Are you sure?

"Positive," Monogram answered. Being with animals for so long, he could understand what they were saying by simply looking at the expressions of their faces, similar to how Phineas could understand Ferb without the need of vocal communication.

"We believe that Doofenshmirtz is in another one of his bases," Monogram said as a rather large map, showing all the locations that the platypus had seen the man in, even the mini-market across town, appeared on the screen, "And need you to look through each of the areas until he's found. Who knows what he could be up to?"

Perry sighed. This was going to be one long day, but the secret agent couldn't help but wonder what it was Doofenshmirtz was up to.

Phineas and Ferb had decided on building a giant waterslide that was an equalvelent of a rollercoaster. Ferb went to work immediately, having carefully looking at the blueprint that Phineas had given him before taking out several tools that the stoic green head seemed to summon at will. Meanwhile, Phineas went to get more supplies that the two had already ordered.

"Hey."

"Huh? Oh, hello! I've never seen you around here before."

"Yeah, I'm sort of new around here."

"Cool. I'm Phineas. What's your name?"

"I'm Heinz. Heinz Doofenshmirtz."

A/N:

Oh gosh, the end of this chapter was done a bit lazily. So sorry. ^^;

Like I said before, I'll update again this weekend. I'm not allowed to update on any other day, as they are the terms of my parents.

Please, tell me what I did wrong or right! Constructive criticism is advised! :D
