All Good Things Must Come to an End
Chapter 9
New Beginning
About a month after Perry and Dr Doofinsmirtz's passing, Lawrence and Linda's health started to decline. Their children decided that it was best for them to move into a nursing home. Soon after a new family moved into the house that once belonged to the Fynn-Flecher family. This family included a woman named Tracy Smith, Steve Smith, and their 6-year-old daughter Gracie Smith. A few days after they received a pamphlet in the mail. It was titled "Danville rescue animal shelter". On the cover was an advertisement for a big adoption event where the adoption fee was to be wavered. Gracie looked at the pamphlet, which had a sad looking platypus on the cover. "Mom, Dad! Can we get a platypus? I promise to take care of him!" Tracy replied, "well I am not sure, platypuses are a lot of work, aren't you a bit young for a big responsibility of taking care of a platypus? Steve interjected, "Well platypuses probably don't do much, we can help. I think Gracie can handle a platypus. Besides, it says that adoption fees are wavered this weekend. It also says that the pets are already trained. Let's give the platypus a try."
That Saturday, the Smith family went over to the animal shelter. A man with red curly hair and red mustache greeted them. Grace ran towards the platypus cage. "Look mom and dad, here is that sad platypus." Mom asked, "Are you sure you want a platypus? There is a cute puppy over there." Gracie responded, "No! I want a platypus!" The man with red hair unlocked the cage where the platypus was and picked her up. He took the Smith family into an office and they signed some adoption papers. They were also given some platypus food and a platypus bed. They were given some instructions on how to care for a platypus. They were given a pamphlet titled, "Caring for Your Platypus".
Back at home, Gracie was holding her new platypus. "I am going to name you Percilla. Percilla the Platypus. I promise to take good take care of you." She placed her in her bed and covered her with a blanket. Gracie then went to get her dolls. She went back to where Percilla was lying, but she was gone. Gracie ran around the house looking for her.
Little did Gracie know, Percilla was not just any Platypus, she was a newly trained secret agent at OWCA. While Gracie went to get her dolls, Percilla had fallen through her bed and down a tube that lead to a lair. She landed in a red chair facing a large screen. Major Carl appeared on the screen. (Major Carl was the head of the animal shelter in disguise earlier.) "There you are agent P", Major Carl announced. "I hope you have settled in with your new host family. You remind me of the last platypus we had, God rest his soul. Anyways, I am going to send you on your first assignment. Our new evil nemesis, Helen Rivenshmitz, has been working on some evil schemes. Head over to her lair and see what she is up to."
Percilla flew in her jet pack over to "Rivenshmitz Evil Lair". "Rivenshmitz Evil Lair" was originally "Doofinshmirtz Evil Inc", but the name changed since Helen took over. Percilla had busted through the door. A woman with black hair in a bun, narrow glasses, and a long black dress stood before Percilla. "Percilla the Platypus! You came!", Hellen exclaimed. A cage fell from the ceiling and fell on Percilla. "Ha, I got you! Now I can show you what I have been working on", Helen told Perclla. She lifted a sheet that was covering a large machine. "Behold, the "Grow Ugly Moles Activator!" She proclaimed.
