Why Perry?
Chapter 3
Phineas POV
When me and Ferb woke up, we were both tied up together in 2 chairs with rags ties to our
mouths. We recognized the building from our recent regain of memories of the past:
Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated. I thought to myself right then about that strange little tune that
plays in the air whenever you think of the image of the building. I wondered what Ferb was
thinking right then. I know what I was thinking: Why did Perry poison us? Why did he have a knife
in the first place? Why was he acting so strange all of a sudden? "And WHY WERE WE TIED UP IN
D.E.I.!?" I had thought that last part out loud. Of course, it was muffled. "Ah, so you boys
are finally awake." said a familiar voice. He revealed himself and ripped the rags off of our
mouths. I recognized that raspy voice from the remembrance of that dreadful day. It was
Doofenshmirtz. I almost screamed when I saw his short companion: It was Perry. Perry the
Platypus. He wasn't wearing his adorable little hat anymore, but wearing a lab coat his size. He
also still had his needle in him, so his evil self probably still knew that it was important to not take it
off. "Perry, how could you?! We trusted you, then you turn on us? Why Perry?" I screamed. Doof
spoke up. "He was hit with my Evilinator, so he does even remember that he fought evil! Here,
watch this." He turned to Perry. "Hey buddy, you fought evil." Perry turned his head and
chattered. "See, he doesn't know what the heck I'm talking about! Hee, hee! He works for-
"Perry chattered. "Sorry, with me now. And now that I have the most insane fighting machine
ever, we will be able to take over the Tri-State Area! But wait- I have risen my standards,
meaning I will soon fill your little platypus friend-well he's not friends with you anymore-I will fill him
with more energy than all of my inators, having him threaten to destroy the world with me!"
Doof cackled like a maniac. So that's why he was taking us here, because he wanted to reverse
the effects of being evil before they kicked in, which took a while probably because he is so
good, that his brain was fighting it so hard- I then realized I had a tourniquet wrapped around
my leg, which was continually swelling with searing pain. "You monster! How could you do this to
our awesome little pet?!" Ferb demanded. Heinz probably couldn't understand him though because, again, his mouth was tied. I just wish none of this would've happened.
Vanessa POV
The moment I walked in the door to my dad's place, I almost screamed. I was
completely horrified that my dad had captured two little kids and tied them to chairs. I
mean, I know my dad's evil and all, but he was never THIS evil. I still couldn't believe
that he could've pulled this off, though. Then I realized I was still just standing in the
doorway when everyone in the room looked at me. That's when my dad broke the ice.
"Ah, Vanessa, come on in. Look who I captured!" Usually when he said look who I
captured, I would see Perry in one of my dad's weird traps. "YOU did this?! Dad, how
could you kidnap two little kids and hold them hostage here?!" I shouted. "Well," he said,
"Perry the Platypus actually got them for me." Both of the boys looked at me sadly, like
they needed me to help them. Then I saw Perry in a little lab coat and gasped. "Perry?
You work with my dad now? But you were so cute- I mean, you fought evil before!" The
triangle-headed kid muffled something like, "You knew too?" At least, that's the best I
could make out. "I shot him with my Evilinator! You like the results?" he said proudly.
"Are you flipping INSANE?! What are you gonna do to these poor kids? And how
did Perry even get them here?!" He pulled up a chair and sat down. "Well, let me tell
you all about it. See, first, I hit Perry the Platypus with my Evilinator, then while he was
sort of blind, I slipped a poisoned knife in his pocket, then zapped him with my
Gohomeinator, sending him to his home. I knew that he was completely pure of heart,
so I made calculations letting me know when the evil effects would kick in. I also knew
that he would use whatever weapon he could find first on the boys. And so, everything
is going as planned." There was a long pause, and then he looked angry. "And if you try
to stop me or don't agree, I'll hit you with my Evilinator!" "Uh, no I'm good. I'll… just be
at mom's, so, see ya! I said nervously. I ran out the door and into the hall, hiding behind
a decorative fake plant. I decided to wait until my dad left, then I would free those boys
and figure out what to do from there.
Ten minutes later I heard my dad's voice saying: "Ok, Perry the Platypus, wanna go get
some lunch? I'll buy from Burger King if you want." There was a pause. "Oh, you wanna
stay here and watch the boys? Ok, well I'll bring you back something." I heard a chatter,
then footsteps coming toward the door. I went back to hide behind the plant, then saw
my dad wait for the elevator, then get in. When I thought it was safe, I ran to the door
and snuck in while Perry went to get what smelled like hot cocoa in the kitchen. (I
wondered why he was drinking it in July.) I tiptoed over to the boys to untie them, but I
heard Perry coming, so I hid behind dad's old green couch. I wondered why it smelled
so bad. When I heard the door close, I ran over to the boys and untied them. After
thanking me, I told them, "We need to leave. Now. If we escape the building before
Perry comes out, we can go to my house and figure out what to do from there." The
triangle-headed kid said, "No, we need to go to our house so we can build a device to
make Perry good again. By the way, I'm Phineas and this is my brother, Ferb." I
recognized those names. "Hey, do you have a sister named Candace?" I asked. "Yeah,
why?" "I went to school with her, and she would never stop talking about you guys. She
would always blab on about how "annoyingly creative" you guys are. But you look pretty
ok to me." Phineas gave me a sad look. (Probably thinking about what his sister said.)
"Alright now if we can sneak out quietly, we should be able to avoid Perry." said
Phineas. Considering the fact that the platypus and I have a strong, (complicated)
relationship/past, I hated hearing that come out of someone's mouth. We were almost at
the door, when (guess who?) Perry came running out of the bathroom, then, almost
giving me a heart attack, he pulled a sharp black pistol on us. I actually thought he was
gonna kill us, but then I saw him loading the gun with a dart with fuzzy piece at the end.
So I definitely over reacted. He just barely missed my neck, but you'll never believe
what Ferb did: he caught. The flipping. Dart. He then picked up a random pipe lying on
the ground (my dad can get really messy with inator parts), fit the dart right in the hole,
and blew it right at Perry's webbed foot. He almost jumped aside from it, but it caught
onto him anyway. Ferb ran over to the limp, unconscious monotreme and picked him up
with ease, then plucked the dart out of his webbed foot. Phineas must've been pissed,
because literally ripped the lab coat off of Perry. He said with real aggressiveness,
"We're burning this when we get home. Then I'm blending the ashes, pouring every
drop in a container, duct taping it super tight, then throwing it in a river somewhere far
away from here." Like I said, pissed.
