-Chapter 11-

Heinz's Musings

(Doof's POV)

"CURSE YOU, PERRY THE PLATYPUS! Why does everything explode so easy, anyway?

"I wonder where that beam went. My inators always seem to fire off just one beam before they explode. I wonder where it went. Oh, I hope it hit something important! Well, whatever it is, it's a pile of doonkleberries now.

"Sheesh, first Perry the Platypus shows up late, and then he had the nerve to thwart me quicker than usual. Almost like he had some reason for wrapping up early…

"Oh, that's right! I need to pick up Vanessa from Charlene's house today. I completely forgot! I wonder how he knew… Oh yeah, I trapped him with an enlarged version of my calendar! I stuck him on the little box that marks today's date, where it had 'trap Perry the Platypus' written, and he must have read the other things that were written in the box.

"Maybe he wasn't being as rude as I thought. I can't believe I'm saying this, but, THANK YOU, PERRY THE PLATYPUS!

"Of course, now I've got to clean up the mess Perry the Platypus made when he blew up my inator, and I need to change into a new lab coat. This one's a mess now. I sometimes wonder how I recover so easily from explosions day after day. Well, I guess practice makes perfect. That's what mother always told Roger when he was learning to play kickball. Back in Gimmelshtump, in the days of my youth…

"Wait, wait, I don't have time for an emotionally scarring backstory! What am I thinking, anyway? Perry the Platypus isn't even here to listen!

"My, what a mess this place is. One of my favorite chairs got turned into a pile of doonkleberries, too! Though that chair just hasn't been as fun since Perry the Platypus zapped it with the ugly-inator way back when. In fact, I think it's more useful this way.

"Ugh, I've been rambling for so long, I don't even have time to clean up before I leave! I'll just have Norm take care of it when I get back. I'd have him do it now, but he stayed over at Charlene's house yesterday, said something about wanting to bond with his big sister.

"Whatever, I'll just change my lab coat and get going. Although, I might keep this one around instead of cleaning it. Maybe if I wear a lab coat that looks like it's been through an explosion, which it has, people will know I'm an evil scientist, instead of assuming I'm a pharmacist.

"Looking at this place, I take back the nice things I said about Perry the Platypus earlier. I guess I'm back to CURSE YOU, PERRY THE PLATYPUS!

"…I just realized, I could've used the rebuild-my-lair-inator to take care of this mess from the start. I can be such a dummkopf sometimes."

A/N: Another "Musings" Chapter, but this one is just for fun, it really has no bearing on the plot. Next chapter will be back to it though. ...Looking at the clock, I realize this is technically the day after I meant to post this. Oops. XD
