I have a good idea, so I hope that you understand that Melody and Perry have a special bond. (I'll assume that you do)

Melody absolutely loved all her gifts. On the day after her fourteenth birthday, she decided to wear a teal sweater, a matching teal jacket, and tangerine pants. She got that all on her birthday! She also got a little platypus toy, (complete with hat) and it had an origami angelfish pinned to it. ( I learned that angelfish are underrated)

She also got another gift. It was a baby Chihuahua. It was asleep though. She let it sleep on the bed, and put some food and water in the closest corner. (yes, this is pinky, and he will be talked about more in the next chappie)

Another good thing that happened on her birthday was that Perry passed beginners training and started training in advanced classes. He still was having trouble staying serious, but Major Monogram let it slide for now. All he cared about was his daughter.

In Doof's house….

(PS, Doof is 26, and he is already EVIL! :D)

"And now, I will unveil…my stop-inator!" Doof Laughed Evilly. "It will stop anything, even somebody's heart!"

Doof pulled the sheet off of the small purple machine.

"And I'm talking to myself again."

He decided to go get some water, so he wouldn't get parched. On his way to the kitchen, he slipped on a purple jellybean taped to a cork. He fell and hit the button, causing it to fire. A purple beam shot out, heading straight for a small diner.

"I hope it hit's some innocent civilian…" Doof said, still laying on the floor.

Melody was extremely happy, because they were all going to a restaurant.

When they reached the diner, they grabbed a booster seat for the small platypus.

They all sat down, and all ordered the hot dog specialtyas soon as they started their meal, they noticed the Parade was going on outside, so they all decided to watch. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a purple laser shot through the looked up, and saw that it was heading straight towards the small platypus. Everyone fell silent, and the next moments seemed to pass in slow motion.

Melody knew that this could be something extremely dangerous, and she didn't want anything to happen to her best friend. She quickly stood up, and dove in front of the laser beam, hitting the floor. She covered the small platypus with her body, holding him close to her body.

Then, all they heard was a scream.

Cliff hanger, hanging on a cliff. That's why he's called… cliff hanger!

Thanks to all of you who gave the ideas for presents, and sorry for another short chappy…

I have two things to say. One, I am hosting a competition, and whoever wins gets to read a chapter of this story before it is posted. Cool, huh?

Second, I am trying to get more review than my sister… so… review… pretty please?
