Chapter four

Razz was just a tiny puffball. She was different from other platypi, for she was fluffy and covered in soft red-pink fur. It felt as soft as a duck's feathers, but looked as rough as a beaver's fur. Not too many people wanted an odd-looking baby platypus.

Tai and Mai did though. They were seven when they went to the pet store and spotted Razz. She remembered them commenting on how her fur color reminded them of a 'razzberry', thus her name.

When they took her home, they gave her a spiked collar with a broken heart on it and her name on the back. Then, what they did, Razz hated. They would put socks on her feet and hands and push her into wall as she slid across the kitchen floor. They rubbed balloons on her fur until she puffed out and attracted laundry and the balloons. Once they left her in a pool for three days without food or water.

Razz snapped back into reality as Mai and Tai reached for her. She let out an angry chatter, which sounded more like a growl. She had run away from the two long ago and she promised herself she would never go back.

"Wow. It seems she's upset seeing you," Phineas pointed out.

"...Yeah... If we were her, we'd do the same," Tai muttered.

"We weren't very nice to her," Mai added, "I guess she hates us now..."

Razz stopped 'growling'. Something in their voices was telling her they were dad... and RAzz was willing to listen.

"We didn't mean to do all those mean things," Tai explained, "We thought we were just having fun."

"Yeah, but when you ran away, we were devastated," Mai chimed in, "We didn't mean to drive you away, Razzy. Please, won't you come home?"

Razz looked at them and sighed. She then flashed them a smile, but shook her head no as she scooted closer to Isabella. She forgave them. She did... However... ever since she left, she's been training as an agent... and she really wanted to stay with Perry...

"We... understand," muttered Tai. He and Mai looked at Isabella. "Do you mind taking care of our platypus?"

"Of course!" Isabella shouted.

"Thanks," Mai said, "And g'bye, Razzberry. We'll miss you."

After the twins left, Phineas looked at Razz. "Razzberry! That's what your name's short for! You know I've been wondering that all day, but I wasn't sure."

...Still weird..., Razz thought.

Isabella placed Razz down and said; "Razz, I'd like you to meet your new pal; Pinky!"

Razz turned just in time to see a jittery chawowow walking to her. He barked and licked her cheek in greeting. Urg..., she thought as Perry chattered and smiled in amusement.

Ninjagirly: And that's the end of that! ....Yes, this is the last chap. Um, ah. Well, I was planning to make another story of Perry and Razz. Who knows if I'll ever get to it or even upload it, though -_-; Guess you all have to wait and see.

Please Review! ^^
