14AmyChan: okay, so here's a new update for all of you guys~! *^_^*

Isabella: Please tell me we get out of there...

14AmyChan: You'll just have to read to find out~! *^_^*

Perry: *chatter noise which translates into "I'm so glad 14AmyChan doesn't own us..."*

Perry made a quick scan of the familiar balcony, his trained eyes searching for a hint of red hair, a flash of pink material, or perhaps even a trace of activity marking the presence of the two teenagers which he sought. When vision didn't yield any marker of their being there, he immediately zeroed in on Doofenshmitrz, who faced his previous -inators with such focus that he didn't even notice the arrival of his nemesis.

"Hello?" Perry chattered sarcastically, knowing full well that the good doctor wouldn't understand him. While the chatter did not distract the doctor from his deeds, he did receive a response.

"Perry?" a familiar voice called out. Out of pure habit, the mammal quickly hid his fedora and dropped to all fours, spreading his eyes far apart as he did so. Under this guise of mindlessness, the platypus ambled into the room filled with inators, determined to find the voice's owner.

As swiftly and as silently as he could, the agent made a more in-depth analysis of the area. One and only one of the traps had been activated. It was a simple cage, and Perry was sure it had been one of those cages Doofenshmitrz had saved from previous encounters. That would explain why he hadn't had any activity show up on the radar. And if Isabella had followed him of her own free will, it wouldn't be considered kidnapping until Mrs. Garcia-Shapiro reported her missing. That would mean Doof would be off the legal hook for the day.

Yet if Perry had his way for today that would be the only hook he'd be left off today...

Before he knew it, the secret agent found himself in front of the cage, looking directly into the eyes of Isabella Garcia-Shapiro. Well, as directly as he could while being mindless. She appeared confused, but unharmed. Perry breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly in-synch with Isabella.

"Thank goodness..." Isabella smiled. Even though Perry was just a platypus who didn't do much, perhaps he could do something. The animal seemed stunned. Probably wondering what on earth one of his owner's friends was doing in a small cage. Right now, she desperately hoped Perry was as smart as Phineas kept saying he was. Phineas...

Oh, dear... Perry thought as he watched Isabella space out slightly. She must have started to think about Phineas. Speaking of the red-haired teenager...

"Isabella?" a voice barked softly from within the cage. It was a voice Perry knew quite well. His eyes instinctively scanned for a teenage boy crammed into the cage along with the aforementioned girl before resting on a small red Russell Terrier. However, it wasn't as alert as his owner would have been in this situation. In fact, with his eyes trained on Isabella, it looked as though he'd gotten a shock. A rather large one. Perry-thinking he knew what may have happened-smirked slightly and allowed his eyes to focus.

"Perry?" Isabella asked, effectively breaking both of their trances. The dog's head turned and-upon seeing Perry-his eyes nearly popped out of his head. Before the agent could attempt to tell them to be calm, the doctor turned around. All three held their breath.

"All right, when Perry the Platypus shows up, all I'll have to do is hit you with the silence-inator..." Doof mumbled under his breath, not quite taking notice of the teal mammal already in the room and pointing in general areas of the room. As the man began to practice how it would all go down, Perry risked a glance at the two confused teens in the cage. A plan began to formulate in his head.

Without a chatter of any sort to alert anyone of his sudden movement, the teal monotreme sped over to a certain machine amidst the pile. In the span of a few seconds, the intelligent animal found what he was looking for. He climbed aboard it excitedly and hit the fire button. A blinding flash of light engulfed the room, halting everyone in their tracks for more than a few moments.

"Go home," an unexpected and hesitant British voice announced, forcing Perry's eyes to adjust more quickly than usual. As soon as they did, however, he saw a flash of green, pink, and red before there was nothing in the cage and the surrounding area. Heck, even the cage was gone. Both mammals looked at the empty space. The only difference being one of them actually had a clue as to what was going on. The other one only knew that his evil scheme had come and gone for the day.

"What just happened?" Heinz asked aloud, assuming he was just talking to himself again. He did not expect a familiar chatter in response from beside him. He looked down just in time to receive a good knuckle sandwich. Surprised, the man tumbled backwards and fell over. He quickly got back to his feet, rubbing his injured face.

"Perry the Platypus, wha-?" Doof didn't get a chance to finish before a beaver tail slapped him in the face, effectively knocking him down yet again. This time, he stayed down for a couple of seconds before saying something completely unexpected.

"Perry the Platypus, you peed on my couch!" he announced. No, really. It was unexpected. However, with the realization that Doof knew-not only that he'd peed on the couch-but about his owners as well, Perry leapt into action to activate the machine once more. Once the imminent white flash of light subsided, Doof found himself alone and unaware of the events of the day.

"What happened to me, and why does my head hurt?" Doof asked of no one, finally alone in his apartment.

"I brought the muffins, dad!" a cheerful robotic voice chimed as he walked through the door, a platter full of the aforementioned food.

"For the last time, I am not your-ooh! Muffins!" Doof said distractedly, chowing down on the biggest muffin without taking notice of the platy-plan and its owner making a rapid getaway.

Isabella: wait—what—huh? What just happened?

14AmyChan: Well, you know when Ferb said he knew what he was gonna do today?

Isabella: Yeah...

14AmyChan: he did it. *^_^*

Isabella: you're making no sense!

14AmyChan: I'll explain later... for now, please read and review~! *^_^*
