Chapter 10
Phineas' POV
I had no idea what to think with Lily just right there. I was happy, worried, and full of relief all at once. Yet she didn't even look at us. She just padded over to Doof with a cold expression on her face.
"Is it really a good idea to give them any information?" Lily asked Doofenshmirtz calmly. She looked so calm and so cold toward me and my friends/step brother. I was so confused.
"I guess not." Dr. D replied after a moment, as if shocked to Lily talking
"If they figure out who your enemy is then you will never fight your nemesis again and no revenge." Lily added.
"True." Dr. D mused.
"All right there you go, not just leave them alone." Lily said sternly.
Dr. D narrowed his eyes. "Why do you care? They are not your real owners. You are my pet, you work for me. You were nothing more than a spy Jo.
"I like Lily better." Lily muttered.
"But Jo is so much easier to remember!" Dr. D said smiling.
"But…" Lily started but was cut off
Doofemshmirtz raised his hand. "Are you arguing with me Jo? Should I show what happens when you argue with me again?"
"Uh… uh…" Lily stammered.
"That is what I thought." Dr. D said walking away. "Have fun Lily, tell your so called friends about how you betrayed them. Just remember what I said about most humans."
With that the evil doctor left. Leaving my friends and I and Lily, or whoever she was alone. I had no idea what to say.
"Lily, what does he mean?" I choked out the words. "You are working for him?" I demanded.
Lily blinked a few tears away but nodded. "Yes but I can explain…"
"So what, you just lead the crazy doctor to us? You lead the dog to us?" Ferb demanded from beside me.
"I had no idea about the robot dog! I swear!" Lily cried.
"Why should we trust you?" I demanded, clenching my fist. I felt betrayed, hurt. I did not even want at look at Lily. "Give me one good reason why should listen to a word you should say. We helped you, we took you in, we feed you, you were happy as far as I could tell, why would you betray us!" I screamed louder than needed.
"Phineas calm down…" Isabella began trying to calm me but I ignored her. I was too steamed up to listen. Ferb looked just as upset.
"Phineas, Ferb, just… listen, please! Please! Just give me a chance…."
"We gave you a chance Jo." Ferb growled. His normally emotionless face was turned angry and full of sneer. I could not blame him. "No leave us be."
Lily's POV
I knew this was coming, I knew it all along. I knew it in my heart from the day I meet them. I never thought I would actually get close to Phineas or Ferb but I cared for them as a pet owner relationship. They were so nice, and I blew it. I just totally blew it. Warm tears rolled down my face. Could cats cry? I did not know, I could, then again was I really a normal cat? I could talk. I backed away. Phineas and Ferb… I am so sorry. I just wish I could explain. I turned around about ready to leave when I heard Ferb called me back.
"Lily, wait." At first, I was hopeful. Would they let me explain? I turned back around with a confused look.
"I saw you with Perry when we were flown away. Is he okay? You did just leave him. You did not hurt him too?" Ferb demanded. Phineas looked at me with a questioning look.
I flinched.
"I… I have no idea."
My mind flashed back to right after Phineas, Ferb and Isabella had been captured.
Flashback (Lily's POV)
"This is my fault anyway Lily." Perry told me.
"How!" I demanded.
"A pet's responsibility, no matter of his or her past, should be loyal to their owner. They need to focus on the now, not the past." Perry told me.
I paused; a few tears sparkled in my eyes.
"I know you are right Perry and I am sorry for this. I really am." At that I pulled out a can of sleeping gas and rolled it to Perry before springing away as fast as I could. I heard Perry behind me, screaming my name only to be replaced by the silence of sleep. I felt so guilty but I kept running to Dr. D's headquarters. He was my master.
End of Flash back (Still Lily's POV)
"He is fine." I told them. Yet in my heart I knew I had lost everything by choosing this. I had chosen the path of evil and I had lost everyone on the side I left. My friends, my new family… Tears flowed down my cheek now. I looked up at Phineas and Ferb before running away and collapsing in a bed that Dr. D gave to me. I did not know how things could get any worse.
Isabella's POV
I had to feel sorry for Lily a little bit, I mean I guess she did this all because she had too. But nothing made sense. Why would Lily do this? I mean, I knew I disliked her and all for taking away Phineas from me but I never took her for doing this. Isabella narrowed her eyes. Something is up… I just do not know what…
Isabella watched Phineas and Ferb lay down away from each other and sleep. They looked so angry and broken. I could not blame them. In their eyes, there trust had been misused and mistreated. But still, something kept nagging me that something was not right. Nothing added up.
I flinched as I saw the shadowy figure of Dr. D. I walked away only to realized he was going over to Lily.
"Hey Jo." I heard him greet.
"Hey." Lily sobbed. I had never heard such a heartbroken greeting.
"Oh, stop it. You remember what I said about humans? I am truly the only friend you ever had. You know it, as soon as you stopped being a kitten. Phineas and Ferb would have thrown you away. Must I tell you again?" Dr. D asked.
Isabella blinked, why did Dr. D make this sound like he made Lily believe all humans are bad?
A/N
Thanks for the newest review. I just more people would review, it would sure make me write faster. :/
Anyone, did anyone follow what happened in this chapter? Now you get why this story is called Friend or Foe, yes? Is Lily a friend or a foe? Hard to say is it not? She was working for Doof but she does care. Why does she hate humans so much? Wait until chapter 11. I suspect a longer chapter is in order for that chapter. I hope to get it up by Monday (Day off) but unlikely.
