Author's Note: Hey yall! In case you haven't noticed, this is the second chapter of "A Friend In Need". Oh, and thank you everyone who reviewed (I think it was only one person, but whatever, thanks anyway!) Well, yup. Um… just enjoy, and don't forget to review! Oh and btw, this is done from Doofy's POV.

Disclaimer: I do not, nor shall I ever, own Phineas and Ferb. I would love to though. Haha.

Doofenshmirtz's POV

"Andd… done!"

It was a bright and sunny day in the Tri- State Area. Everywhere except for over my building. I mean really, my own Gloominator backfired on me today while I was dusting my evil lair, and it caused a rainstorm right over my building, Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, and no where else. What are the odds? Anyway, I had just finished writing my evil monologue, and I hummed a bit as I flipped through my notes.

"Alright, my evil monologue is finished, I need to pick up a cage for Perry the Platypus, stop by the grocery store for some more granola, and get a few more parts for my Bad-Hair-Day-Inator, and my evil scheme will be complete!" I cackled out loud to myself, "As soon as it's done, everyone in the entire Tri-State-Area will have the worst bad hair day EVER!"

Yup. I'm evil. It's true. Just ask my nemesis, Perry the Platypus. I mean, only a really REALLY evil person would have a nemesis. So what if he's a platypus? He's got a hat, and he's a mammal. That's good enough for me.

I walked over to my purple armchair in the corner of the room and collapsed in it. Evil can sure tire a fella out, you know. I was just falling asleep when someone knocked on my door.

"Vanessa? Is that you?" I called out on my way to the door. I opened it.

Staring up at me were the big, tear- filled eyes of my nemesis. He clutched a small suitcase in his hand, his turquoise fur was damp from the rain, and he wore a sad frown.

"Perry the Platypus? You're not supposed to be here until tomorrow, I haven't even finished shopping yet…" I began, but the look on his face showed pain and sadness, and though I am evil, I could tell something was wrong.

"Perry the Platypus, what happened? Here, come in, I'll make you some coffee, tea, whatever you would like, just tell me what's wrong," I offered, leading the platypus over to my armchair.

"What happened? You can tell me. Go ahead. Spill," I said, but then I remembered, "Oh right… Heh, you're a platypus, you… you can't talk, can you? Yeah, didn't think so…"

Perry rolled his eyes. "Okay, I'll guess… were you fired? Did you lose your car keys?" I asked, but then thought of something better, "Ooh, I know! You're finally giving up on fighting me, and you're here to surrender!" I clapped my hands together at the last one.

Perry rolled his eyes again, and reached into the bag he brought with him, and pulled out a photograph. He pointed to the people in the picture. Two small boys, both who looked about four years old, one with green hair and one with bright red hair were hugging a small baby turquoise platypus tightly. A bigger girl, who looked around nine years old, with strawberry blonde hair was hugging the two boys. All were wearing big smiles on their faces. Suddenly, I got it.

"Are those… Are those your owners, Perry the Platypus?" I asked. He nodded. "Did they… forget about you?" Perry lowered his head, and wiped away a tear.

I was angry. No one, and I mean no one, causes my nemesis pain (except for me, but that's only physical pain, not mental).

"Perry the Platypus, I… I… don't know what to say. But I know how you feel, you see, I too was abandoned by my loved ones…" I said, looking off into the distance. I could almost hear the sad violin music playing in the background as I remembered my horrible childhood. Perry's chatter caught my attention, and he gave me a not-ANOTHER-sad-back story look.

I grinned sheepishly. "Sorry, Perry the Platypus. I… already told you that one, didn't I?"

He nodded, then pointed back to the picture. "Right, your owners. You… you could stay here, if you want. I could fix up the guest room, and take care of you." I asked, but hastily added, "I know its not very evil- like of me, but… you know, things change."

Perry nodded, and smiled. I smiled back and handed him a tissue.

"Take this, Perry the Platypus. And welcome to your new home."
