Scarletninja: Yeah, I was going for a big-sister type relationship. Don't worry, Perry will see the boys again soon.
Thank you everyone, especially Galaxina-the-Seedrian! Sorry, this chapter's gonna be pretty long. Once again, yet another case of me writing while listening to music. "Moonlight Shadow," this time.
They walked into the mall. "Okay, we've gotta figure out some way to hide that tail of yours," Vanessa said. "Maybe a coat... no that won't work. It's summer, too hot."
They walked by one of the windows. Phineas and Ferb were behind the mall, working on another of their projects. Vanessa smiled. Maybe Ferb and his brother would be able to come up with something. They were about the same age as Perry.
Perry noticed where Vanessa was dragging him and tried to lead her away. "Umm... maybe we'll find an idea in one of the stores," he said.
"Don't worry," Vanessa said. "I've got a friend who I think could help."
Vanessa snuck up behind Ferb, almost dragging Perry the entire way. Still panicked, he decided to hide behind Vanessa.
"Hey Ferb," Vanessa said. "What are you guys working on today?"
Ferb looked up. "Oh, hey Vanessa. It's a water park."
"Cool. Um, I have something I was hoping you could help me with."
"What is it?" Phineas asked as he walked over.
"You see, my dad has this nemesis, and he-" She looked at her side and behind her. Perry was gone. "Oh no."
She stood at the ship's bridge. "We will be approaching the planet shortly, Master," one of the underlings said, bowing quickly before running off. She smiled evilly. She was already in the form required for their next target, a backwater planet known to it's inhabitants as "Earth." They were relatively unintelligent, for the most part they didn't even have the ability to go beyond their own moon. These pathetic, weak, helpless beings would be almost too easy to crush.
Almost. There were certain people that might put up a bit of a resistance. Namely, certain inhabitants in an Earth community known as "Danville." More specifically, two "humans" known as "Phineas" and "Ferb." They'd traveled the stars, on numerous occasions, and managed to defeat a powerful opponent from another dimension. Those two would be a challenge indeed.
She looked up as the alarms were going off. A white, pod-shaped ship was coming close. The Gollen.
"What's wrong?" Phineas asked.
"Okay, well, you see, my dad's nemesis is a platypus and today he turned him into a human. Only, his nemesis still has a tail, and now he's run off!"
"Isabella, you take the Fireside Girls and help Vanessa look for her friend," Phineas said. "Everyone else, let's keep working on the water park. I was hoping we could be done building by lunch."
"Got it!" Isabella said, grabbing Vanessa's hand. "What does he look like?"
She sighed. "Well, he's about you guys' age, and he has spiky teal hair and orange eyes."
"Is that him?" one of the Fireside Girls asked. Perry was walking back into the building. He saw them and started to run.
"Catch him!" Vanessa shouted.
Cue epic cartoon-style mall chase scene. Eventually, Isabella managed to tackle Perry to the ground. In the process, Perry's locket opened. Isabella's eyes widened. "Perry?!"
For some strange reason, her ship was helpless against the enemy. They'd upgraded their weapons- and defense-systems since the last time they'd fought. It was a slaughter for those on her side.
Alec, her mate, her partner, grabbed her hand. "We have to get you out of here!" he shouted.
"What about you?!"
He threw her into an escape pod. "I'll be right behind you!"
That was the last she saw of him. The ship exploded as soon as her escape pod was ejected. "NO!" No one else made it out alive.
She plummeted to Earth, landing in the desert. She was ticked. She would destroy everyone, she'd-
She'd re-build her people, and use this planet to house them until they depleted it's resources. She smiled. She knew she could do it, but she had to get rid of her opposition first.
Perry was carried back to everyone else by Vanessa. He was crying again, and only Vanessa knew why. Phineas and Ferb were his family, she just realized that when she saw the inside of his locket. If they found out, he'd be re-located as soon as he went back to being a platypus.
Phineas and Ferb were upset when they found this out. Sure they were mad Perry hadn't told them the truth, but he was only doing it because he wanted to stay with them.
There was a thunderstorm that night. Phineas wondered how his pet was doing (he was still staying with Doofenshmirtz). He knew Perry didn't like thunderstorms, or sleeping by himself.
Perry was terrified. He let out a small cry every time he heard a thunderclap. Finally, he couldn't take it any more. He ran into the first bedroom he came to. Doofenshmirtz's.
Doofenshmirtz sat up. "What's wrong?" He asked groggily.
"I-I'm scared. C-can I sleep with you?"
Normally, Doofenshmirtz would have refused. It wouldn't be right for an evil scientist. But right now, he was too sleepy to care. "Sure," he said, falling back into bed.
