"like... he's never been to the carnival, he's never been to a birthday party, never been to a sleep over, a circus, the only time the man's ever been to the park is when he was trying to get Vanessa's fifth birthday party right, he's never seen the fourth of July fireworks show." Perry listed. "he's never been on a trampoline or on vacation or anything!" Perry exclaimed.
"thats horrible!" Phineas exclaimed.
"his parents are horrible and they don't like me much, but I don't like them either." Perry huffed.
"Ferb I know what we are going to do when I'm better." Phineas smiled. Ferb rolled his eyes.
"when should he have the translator ready?" Ferb ask.
"in about..." Perry checked his watch. "5... 4... 3... 2..." Perry counted down. there was a knock on the door and Perry opened it. "1." Perry smiled. they laughed at the confused look on Heinz's face.
"what?" Heinz ask.
"they ask when you'd have the translator ready." Perry said. Heinz held up a collar.
"Vanessa picked it up said that black would be best." Heinz said.
"she'll be here in about five minutes, Pinky updated her on my condition. she's mainly black so the collar will blend." Perry said. "hey do you guys have peanut butter?" Perry ask.
"why?" Phineas ask confused.
"tradition. it's my turn to greet her with a face full of peanut butter, but instead i'll do a peanut butter snadwhich." Perry shrugged.
"yes. it's in the kitchean pantry." Ferb said. Perry nodded and went for it. Heinz stood awkwardly.
"you can sit you know. they wont bite." Perry called from the kitchean. Heinz hesitated a moment.
"hey, Heinz." Phineas called out to him. Heinz looked at the two boys.
"family is the ones you love. if Perry loves, you have to be pretty good and special, or else he'd never bring you around us." Ferb said.
"what Ferb means is, if Perry loved you, we love you enough to concider you family! and we are a nice family." Phineas smiled. Heinz had to admite he felt completely relaxed and comfortable here and smiled as he sat down.
"what exactly is family?" Heinz muttered.
"the day someone can explain little thing is the day nothing exists anymore." Ferb replied.
"your just full of those things aren't you?" Heinz ask with a smile.
"everyone is good at something and Ferb is good with quotes." Phineas said.
"so tell us your favorite thing to do as a kid." Ferb said curiously.
"I never got to do anything fun. that kind of why I became evil. so I could get back at the people who ruined my childhood." Heinz replied.
"what can you tell us?" Phineas ask.
"uh... well... not much really. my goodie two shoes brother, the mayor, was originally named Only son. my parents hated me. never really had a family. my first and only friend is Perry." Heinz said.
"well now you've got us!" Phineas exclaimed as Perry came in.
"a very wise woman once said 'friends can be like family. If I can count on you then you can count on me.'" Perry said sitting down beside Heinz. Heinz raised his eye brow.
"who are you and where's Perry?" Heinz ask. when the group burst into laughter Heinz looked confused. "what? what'd I say?" Heinz ask.
"back when I was a Platypus and they didn't know I was an agent, every day I'd as I was leaving to get my mission Phineas would always say..." Perry was laughing to hard to finish.
"hey where's Perry?" Phineas laughed. Heinz chuckled. "and when he came back I always said 'oh, there you are Perry.'" Phineas added.
"she'll be here any minute! remove all glass!" Perry exclaimed. the door bell had Perry jumping up and moving faster then anyone thought that he could. "woah!" Perry shouted as he was thrown back into the couch. "damn kiddo you got big." Perry weezed.
"woof! Woof!" Candy replied. heinz slipped the collar on her. "oh boy! oh boy! oh boy! brother you sure have changed!" Candy shouted.
"thats great...sis get off." Perry choked. Candy quickly jumped off.
"oh sorry! I forgot humans have weaker chests." Candy said. she climbed off and Perry got up. she turned and grawled and Heinz. "evil ." Candy grawled. she charged but Perry was faster. he tackled her in mid air and they tumbled to the floor. that didn't stop he though. Candy got up and ran at him again. Perry was still catching his breath.
"rraahh!" Perry shouted jumping up. he instantly braced his hands on his knees. "Candy stop! he's a friend!" Perry shouted. Candy skid to a stop barley missing Heinz, who once he was out of danger, ran over to Perry, who was still bent over breathing deep.
"Perry whats wrong?" Phineas ask. Perry held up a hand signalling to wait and after a moment stood up.
"I stood before I caught my breath. human... lungs... suck." Perry panted leaning against Heinz, who supported picked him up and carried him over to the couch. he carefully set him on the couch.
*hospital*
"the day I get out, you get put in." Phineas laughed.
"hell of 'nice to see you' huh bro?" Candy ask. she was a temperary human, thanks to Heinz who had refused to let her stay outside without his boyfriends sister.
"your fault." Perry replied softly.
"how was I supposed to know you had Asthma?" Candy ask.
"none o' us knew." Perry muttered. with Candy on one side and Heinz on the other, Phineas sitting on his bed, and Ferb standing at the end Perry couldn't help but feel relaxed. he kept a tight hold on Heinz's hand, knowing the other was worried about him.
"there's not much we can do since they're keeping you over night." Phineas sighed.
"we need to get him home he has medicine to take." Ferb said.
"try to keep everyone out o' hospital 'till I get out." Perry chuckled.
"we'll try. come on Candy. we promised Jake you'd be back three hours ago." Phineas said. the three left. Perry was tired but his chest hurt to much to sleep.
"can go home if you want." Perry said his voice no louder than a whisper and it cracked.
"oh, no. i'm staying with you untill your released." Heinz said and Perry squeazed his hand and his head lolled to the side to face him.
"'s almost ten pm." Perry muttered.
"so? Vanessa not there and Norm is automaticly on protect mode when I'm not there." Heinz replied. "i'm staying right here." Heinz added.
"you sure?" Perry ask before he caughed. Heinz waited untill Perry stopped to reply.
"I can be just as stubborn as you." Heinz smirked. Perry chuckled and then scooted over.
"you said m'stubborn, so don't disagree." Perry started. "get up 'ere. m'not sleepin lone." Perry mumbled. his voice barley heard. Heinz shook his head.
"I don't think so." Heinz replied.
"get up 'ere now or sleep 'lone rest of your life." Perry said. he hated to say that but he was afraid to sleep here in the hospital alone. he felt Heinz let his hand go and instantly felt scared.
"don't panic i'm just moving to the side without wires." Heinz said. his words were sarcastic but his voice was sincere. he climbed up into the bed. Perry snuggled up to him. "you could have said something if you were afraid." Heinz whispered. Perry held him tighter and whimpered. "is that your version of saying something?" Heinz ask. Perry nodded into Heinz's shirt.
"go 'head make fun. know your jus' dyin' to." Perry muttered hiding in Heinz shirt. Heinz pulled his face pout of his shirt. he planted a kiss on his lips.
"if I wanted to make fun of you I would never have climbed up here with you." Heinz whispered. "watch your IV don't let it come out." Heinz warned. Perry whimpered when Heinz wiggled it.
"s'worse then going to vet." Perry whined. Heinz almost chuckled but he was afraid Perry would take it the wrong way.
"alright go to sleep i'll be here when you wake." Heinz whispered kissing the top of his head.
"mmmm... breathin' hurts." Perry murmured.
"I know it hurts but when you wake up tomorrow it wont. besides if it does you can use your inhaler." Heinz said. Heinz nuzzled his face into Perry's hair.
"thank for help." Perry whispered. "love you." Perry whispered.
"I love you too Perry." Heinz replied knowing he was asleep already. he looked around before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
*next morning*
Perry woke up he was cold and alone. he nearly paniced untill he heard someone in the bathroom. he relaxed when he noticed his chest didn't hurt anymore.
"oh hey your awake." Heinz smiled walking up to the bed. Perry smiled.
"yup." Perry replied.
"hows your chest feel?" Heinz ask sitting beside him. Perry smiled brighter and slowly sat up.
"doesn't hurt." Perry replied.
"good. you sound better. not breathing as hard. your words are complete." Heinz said. Perry smiled and leaned over hugging him.
