The agency always gave the new animal agents extra time to sleep in on their first day. They had to be ready and in their lair by 11:00. Unfortunately, two of Perry's owners liked to get up a little earlier than that. So the small furry agent got woken up from his awesome dream by buzzsaws and rivet guns.

8:30, he thought when he looked at the clock on the nightstand, (yawn) is better than 6.

The agency would make their teams get up at 6 in the morning to start their beginning-of-day exercises. When someone told Perry about this on his first day, he thought they were just pulling his tail. But the next morning when he heard a someone shouting at them to wake up, he felt pretty ignorant. So he got out of his pet bed and walked over to the window on his hind legs so he could see. He was pretty shocked to see the two 6-year-olds drilling metal.

Do their parents know their doing this?! He thought.

At that moment he felt extremely concerned for them, but a gut feeling told him not to do anything about it. The mammal walked down the steps and went out the new doggie door his owners' father installed yesterday before they picked him up. When the young boys saw their pet strolling over to them, they dashed over to him.

"Hey boy! We hope you got a good night sleep, because we're gonna spend the whole day doing fun stuff together!" Phineas said.

Great, he thought, now how will I get down to the lair?

He walked over to some blueprints the boys were using, and couldn't believe what he saw. It was blueprints for a space-shuttle! Phineas walked over to Perry.

"Yeah, it's pretty cool, right?" Then he saw the worried look on the platypus' face. He bent down to him and said gently: "Don't worry about us. We know how to be safe with construction."

That still didn't make Perry feel better, but then he felt his stomach rumble. It must have been a pretty loud rumble, because then Phineas said: "Come on, let's go get you some food. You must be starving."

They walked into the kitchen, and Ferb scraped some eggs and bacon, that the family had while he was sleeping, into Perry's food dish.

What's this stuff supposed to be? He wondered while sniffing it. The second he took a huge bite into the bowl, he was in heaven. Wow! What is this stuff? Now I want this everyday!

Ferb put a lot in his bowl, but Perry still finished it in three minutes flat. Phineas and Ferb spent the next couple of hours teaching the pet new tricks, which Perry understood very easily, and that made the boys pretty impressed. Eventually, the platypus checked his watch and saw that it was 10:56, so when the boys weren't looking, he slipped in the house. He climbed up on the refrigerator, took of the fruit painting, and instantly got sucked into the tube. He plopped down in the red chair and turned on his screen. Instantly, Major Monogram, his new boss, popped up on the screen.

"Good morning Agent P, let me see who you're assigned to." He ruffled through some papers. "Ah, here we go. Your new nemesis is...Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz. He calls his inventions 'inators' which, I have no earthly idea what that means. Anyway, I'm faxing you the coordinates to your computer desk."

Some papers came out of the built-in printer on his desk. "I'm counting on you to stop whatever he's doing. Good luck, and remember your training." The screen went dark, and his red chair flew up out of of an exit in the ceiling. It turned in to a chair-helicopter, and he flew of to fight his nemesis.
