The next day Heinz had everything sat up. The camera, the inator, the trap, he even made sure Monogram was alerted of his evil scheme. Yup. Nothing was gonna ruin this. He was gonna keep that membership whether Charlene liked it or not. And speak of the devil herself as the doorbell rang and Heinz opened it up to find her standing there at his door.

"Charlene!", he gasped. "What are you doing here?"

"My workday was put off cause of some goon that accidentally blew up the building around my work area. There's people fixing it right now and I'm free till the job's done.", she said, coming in. "So.. I thought I might drop by and see whatcha doin."

"Oh. Well... I um..."

"Is this a bad time?", she asked, noticing the inator and the camera.

"Well.. I don't wanna say 'yes' but.. Well I'm expecting Perry the Platypus.", Heinz explained, rubbing the back of his neck in slight embarrassment. "I don't wanna sound like I'm just kicking you out though. Like my nemesis is more important than you are."

At this moment, Perry happened to climb through an open window into the DEI, trying to be a stealthy as possible for good measure of a reentry in his nemesis' life.

"Cause to me, you're certainly more worthwhile of time than Perry.", Heinz was rambling on.

"Well thanks, Heinz but I wouldn't wanna tie up your time with your nemesis.", Charlene said, hoping to be polite.

"No no no. It's not like Perry actually cares about what I do anyway. I'm sure he's just as annoyed about this whole set up as I am.", Heinz said with a shrug. "Besides, all that inator does is blow itself up. It's not like I'm really making this hard on Perry or anything. You can stay. It's probably gonna only be like, 5 minutes."

"No, I think I should probably get ready to pick up Vanessa from her date anyway.", Charlene said. "I'll come back later, though, kay?"

"Oh, alright.", Heinz shrugged before smiling as he received a quick kiss goodbye. "See ya."

"Bye, Heinz."

Charlene closed the door behind her and Heinz turned back to the inator.

"Well I should probably hurry up before Perry the Platypus gets here."

"Krrrrrr!", a chirp said, surprising the scientist as Perry came out from behind his hiding place, obviously hurt from what he heard.

"Perry the Platypus!", Heinz gasped. "What- um.. How-how long have you been back there?"

The stern glare on the platypus' face gave way to how he felt and Heinz swallowed hard and cringed.

"You...you heard everything, didn't you?", the man guessed, feeling guilty for what he said.

"Krrrr..", Perry chattered, turning his head away. 'I've heard enough.'

"No, Perry you have to understand-"

"KRRRRR!", Perry stamped his foot, scowling back at the man who cringed more, now with tears in his eyes as he growled. "'You don't even use my professional name anymore!'"

"What? What I say?", he asked.

"Krrrrr!", Perry huffed, turning away and heading back out.

It was obvious that Heinz didn't care about it anymore to the platypus. And what was worse was that it was caught on camera. Their hatred, was sadly at its end. And even as the man called out, beckoning for the platypus to come back and fight with him, he didn't make a real effort to stop Perry as he climbed out the window and into his awaiting hover car with a heavy and broken heart.

Heinz sighed as he saw his nemesis leave. Even he couldn't ignore the fact that Perry found no hope for their hatred.

*Ding-dong*

Surprised to hear his doorbell, Doof walked over and opened the door to find Monogram and soon a sting in the side of his face with a potential red-mark.

"OW!", Heinz groaned, holding his face. "What the heck was that for?!"

"Africa.", Francis simply replied, nearly growling. "I told you the next time I looked back I was gonna smack you."

"Geez... It's almost as bad as girls...", Heinz said, still rubbing his sore cheek. "Hey, Francis? Can I ask you a question?"

"No.", Francis began, even though he knew Doofenshmirtz would ask anyway.

"Am I still evil to you?"

"I thought you gave up evil.", Monogram simply replied with a shrug.

"But.. I didn't.", the scientist said, slightly indignant.

"Well you certainly haven't been ACTING very evil.", Francis went on to say. "I was surprised by your call of your latest evil scheme, actually. I thought you were spending all your time with your exwife."

"...Thanks.", Heinz sighed.

"Happy to be of help.", Francis said before heading back down the hallway.

Heinz sighed a bit, walked back into his apartment, and turned off the camera. It was over. He couldn't keep up being evil anymore. Especially when all he felt about Perry was just annoyance and not hatred. He couldn't pose as a threat anymore and he couldn't keep up the evil appearance, the inventions, the schemes. It just... None of it. Nothing of it amused him like it used to. There wasn't a point to it anymore. Roger could have the Tri-State Area for all he cared. It was time to throw in the towel. He had what he really wanted; love. Did he...CAN he...really ask for more than that?

A few days after her dad's acclaim to give up evil, Vanessa was walking through her home as usual.

"Mom, I'm gonna be hanging out at the mall with Lacey in case you-", she stopped as she approached the dining room, finding Heinz and Charlene sitting at the table, side by side with slightly nervous smiles.

"Dad?", Vanessa began. "This isn't your weekend what are you doing here? ...IN the house? WITH MOM?"

"Vanessa, sweetie, I think you wanna sit down for a moment.", Charlene said, reaching out and tapping the table near an empty chair for Vanessa to sit in.

The teenager hesitated at first. She couldn't possibly imagine what they were up to. But she sat down and waited uneasily for the surprise.

"Um...", Heinz began, tapping the table a bit uneasily himself. "Vanessa.. I um.. I know we haven't told you but... Well..", he sighed and brushed his hair back. "How do I say this...?"

"Lemme.", Charlene offered with a gentle smile that made Vanessa shiver. "Honey, a few months back, if you recall, I started to date someone I met online."

"Yeesss...", Vanessa slowly nodded.

"Well.. That person is your father.", she went on.

Vanessa's unsure eyes narrowed a bit more in confusion.

"Wait.. You guys...", she trailed off, trying to make her mind accept this.

"And you know I quit Lovemuffin...", Heinz went on while Vanessa was still thinking.

"And so..", Charlene started to say, before taking Heinz's hand in hers as they smiled at each other. "You're father's going to move back in with us and..."

Vanessa cringed in her seat. She didn't like where this was going.

"We're going to get married."
