Animeluver4evertimes2: Sorry for the delay. I was suffering from a bad case of writer's block, but know it's gone! So, without further ado, chapter 8!
Chapter 8: Happiness and Victory
Perry glanced at his watch, knowing that it was about time to go home. He didn't want to leave, but he had to, in order to keep his cover. The mammal jumped from the doctor's hold, feeling sad at the loss of warmth, and pointed at his watch. He hoped that Dr. D would get the message that it was time for Perry to depart.
"It's time for you to leave?" Doofenshmirtz asked, and then sighed as the platypus gave a nod of his head. "Aww. Well, if there's no avoiding it, then, I'll see you tomorrow?" he asked, even though the answer was pretty obvious. Perry beamed, and gave the doctor a hug, meaning 'Of course I will!'
The platypus detached himself from his nemesis, no, lover, and started his way back to his hover car, but was stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Wait! Can I tell you something before you leave, Perry the Platypus?" Doof pleaded, giving Perry his "puppy-dog eyes". The mammal gave a chatter and a wave as a signal for the doctor to continue. He just couldn't resist those eyes, and Doof had used that knowledge to his advantage! When had the mammal become such a softie?
"I just wanted to tell you that this has been the happiest time in my whole life! Thank you for making it possible, Perry. And, good night. Or should I say evening since it's barely, like, five thirty?" A tiny grin appeared on Perry's face. Seeing the doctor like this was just too cute!
The platypus motioned for the doctor to bend down, and Doof complied, curious as to what his little nemesis wanted. Perry pecked him on the lips quickly, and then ran back to his hover car, a pink blush evident on his face. This feeling was still so new to him, to the both of them. But, it was a good change. The mammal took off, seeing Doofenshmirtz waving goodbye. Perry returned the gesture with a tip of his fedora. And with that, he started the return trip home.
Even though the trip usually took only about 10 minutes, this time was different. This time Perry had Dr. D on his mind, and that distracted him. So, it took the platypus about 30 minutes instead. But, Perry didn't mind. He was about to land, when, from the sky, he spotted Phineas on the porch, tears flowing from his eyes. A cloud of sadness rained on Perry's love parade. He didn't like seeing his master, his family, like this.
He quickly parked, and ran back up to the backyard. Perry snuck his way along the wall, and tried to see if Phineas was saying anything. He wasn't, but then he noticed that Phin was trying to pry open the door with his hands. His eyes widened in realization. The idiots that his master called family had locked him out! Wait a minute. Perry thought for a moment. He remembered that Phineas had mentioned something about an extra key or whatever. Where could it be? Then, Perry snapped his fingers, remembering something from earlier that day.
"Now my two lovely daughters. Since today's such an important day, I will let you hide the key from Phineas. Sound okay to you?" Linda asked, already knowing their answers. They hardly got to hide the key. "Of course, mother!" they cheered in unison, anticipation radiating from the pair. Candace snatched the key, and the duo took off, racing towards the front door. They rushed by Perry, awakening him from his nap. He grew suspicious, and followed them. The mammal had learned that when they were happy, something bad was going on. He tip-toed after them, until they stopped in front of a bed of flowers. Isabella dropped they key into the bed of violet Irises, cackling like madmen.
"Phineas will never find the key to the front door!" Candace gave a glee-filled shriek.
"Yes!" Isabella agreed with a smirk on her heavily make-upped face. "Besides, we all know he's allergic."
They high-fived each other before casually walking back into the house, acting like nothing had ever happened.
Perry shook with rage as the memories rose within him. Those two backstabbing girls! That was a low blow, even for a pair as diabolical as them! Everyone who knew his master knew that whenever he even touched an Iris, he blew up like a hot air balloon. Perry swiftly took off his fedora, and assumed his pet mode. He crawled over to the violet Irises, their beauty accentuated by the sunset appearing over the horizon. He dived in headfirst, and trudged through the flowers until he felt something cold and smooth brush against his fur. He picked up the key in his mouth. Victory!
The platypus took a quick dip in a puddle, making sure to get all of the Iris's pollen off of him and the key. Once he made sure that he was clear, he ran around the house and climbed up the stairs of the porch. Perry arrived just in time for Phineas to turn around and spot the semi-aquatic mammal.
"Boy! Wherever did you find this? Oh Perry, I love you!" Phineas shouted as he gathered Perry in his arms, and squeezed him tight. Perry watched as Phineas stuck the key in the lock, and smiled when he heard the familiar "click" of a door unlocking. His master sprinted inside, leaving Perry to slowly trail after him. He observed Phin as he rushed to get his costume on. It was his favorite video game, after all.
Kingdom Hearts was what Phineas spent half of his free time on. The other half was spent on his dream, becoming a world-renowned engineer. But, that wasn't important right now. Right now, it was all about Phineas, and Perry knew that. Perry was sitting on the couch, waiting for his master to come down. He just didn't expect Phin to run out the front door, uttering a "You're in charge, boy!" and leaving Perry with a surprised expression on his face.
The front door slammed shut, and Perry just sat there for 5 minutes. A grin made its way onto the mammal's face as he picked up the remote. He flicked on the television, and made himself comfy. Sleeping Beauty was on ABC Family. Good. That was one of Perry's favorites, after all.
