"Is he okay?" Phineas asked.

"He'll be fine." Monogram said. "He's very bruised, but he's fine."

Perry lay in Monogram's lap. Monogram was sitting on his couch, with Phineas and Ferb on either side of him, bandaging Perry's wounds.

"His arm looks bad." Phineas said.

"I know. We already scanned it with an x-ray device. I'm going to have to set it." Monogram said. "Are you boys all right?"

"Fine." Ferb said.

"Me too." Phineas said. "Even though I'm still kind of tingly."

"Drink lots of water." Monogram advised.

Phineas frowned. "I don't wanna spend all day in the bathroom!"

Ferb stroked Perry's head, and Perry purred. His arm was throbbing and everything else hurt, but his boys were safe.

"This will hurt a little." Monogram warned. He snapped Perry's arm back into position.

Perry yelped.

"All done." Monogram said cheerfully. He wrapped Perry's arm up in a bandage.

"How long will he have to wear that?" Phineas asked.

"A few weeks." Monogram answered. "Dennis is incredibly powerful. But Carl is working on wiping his memory. Perhaps we can find him a loving home."

"You'll have to weaken him first." Ferb said. "What if he stomps his foot and it goes through the floor?"

"Good point." Monogram said. "All right, Agent P. You're good to go." He set Perry down on the floor. "Can you walk?"

Perry nodded.

"All right. Well, I suppose we'll have to…" Monogram stopped.

"Please don't take Perry away." Phineas blurted. "We'll keep his secret. We swear!"

"We love him so much." Ferb said.

Monogram shook his head. "It isn't safe."

"Please." Phineas begged. "We've had him forever."

Monogram looked down at Perry. Perry bit his lip.

Please. He thought. Please just let us stay together.

Monogram sighed. "You can't tell your parents. Not your sister, either. And no friends can know."

"We know." Phineas said. "We won't tell ANYONE."

"Not a single person." Ferb said.

"He'll keep quiet for sure." Phineas said.

Monogram sighed again. "This is a big risk."

"We know." Phineas said softly. "But we love each other. Please."

After a moment, Monogram stood up. "All right. I'll drive you three home. Come on."

"YES!" Phineas shouted, jumping in the air.

"Lookit you. And Dennis said you couldn't jump around." Perry said with a smile.

"Air hug!" Phineas said, pretending to give Perry a hug. Ferb did the same.

"Smart choice. Promise you'll give me a real hug the instant I stop hurting." Perry said.

Phineas beamed at him.

The three of them followed Monogram downstairs.
