I DO NOT OWN PHINEAS AND FERB OR LIZZY(I don't completely own her, anyway) ANY OTHER CHARACTER THAT DOES NOT SEEM FAMILIAR IS PROBABLY MINE
(Perry's POV)
9:30 that night, Perry got worried. She still isn't here, he thought, beginning to freak out a little bit. He was relieved when Linda and Lawrence Flynn-Fletcher went to bed, because acting like a mindless animal was not helping him stay calm. As soon as the parents were upstairs, Perry got on two feet and started pacing around.
Phineas, Ferb, and Candace were on the couch in front of the TV watching who knows what. Perry wasn't focusing on them, so without thinking he walked in between the couch and the television. "Hey, Perry!" Candace grumbled. "Would you mind walking somewhere else? Some of us are trying to watch Doctor Who."
So that's what they're watching, Perry thought. "Sure," he said, moving from the living room. He began to pace in the kitchen instead. "Are you okay, Perry?" Phineas asked his friend.
"Yeah, I'm just waiting for someone to come. I was expecting her to be here by now." Perry replied because he knew that Phineas, Ferb, and Candace always kept their animal translators on.
Candace looked over at him, a smirk on her face. "Her? So it's a girl."
Perry blushed. "Yeah, and since it's so late, you probably won't get to meet her until tomorrow."
Just as he finished speaking, the pet door in the kitchen started moving and creaking. Perry raced to it and opened it all the way. Lizzy called out from outside, "Hey, Perry. I'm wearing a backpack, and I can't get through with it on, so I'll push that through first."
Perry smirked and shrugged. "Okay."
"I could hear the amusement in your voice!" Lizzy called out in a warningly yet joking-like tone. A backpack suddenly appeared in the hole. Perry could hear Lizzy straining outside. "It's stuck!" she grunted. "A little help, Perry?!"
Phineas and Ferb snickered, and Lizzy groaned. "Perry?!"
"That wasn't me, I swear!"
"Riiight, okay. Now help me get this backpack through!" Lizzy said in a disbelieving tone.
"Okay! Okay." Perry started pulling on the backpack and it came through. "Now it's your turn."
"Yay," Lizzy muttered sarcastically.
"Just don't get stuck like the backpack," Perry warned in a jokingly fashion.
"If that was a comment on my rapidly growing size, I will kill you when I'm in there," Lizzy growled.
Phineas and Ferb burst out laughing at that. "Now that was a burn," Ferb said. However, everyone had to wait about five minutes before Phineas stopped laughing. He looked at Perry and the pet door, though, and started laughing again.
"Well, if you don't help me in while whoever that is continues laughing, then I'll be out here the rest of the night," Lizzy grumbled yet again.
Perry held the underside of his beak in mock thought, even though Lizzy couldn't see. "I don't know, you did threaten to kill me when you got in here."
No one else could see it, but Lizzy groaned and banged her head against the wall of the house. Candace didn't say much, but she did say, "That poor girl."
Lizzy started crawling through the pet door and slipped through very easily, much to her relief. Phineas had finally calmed down a bit, but he was still snickering. Perry helped his mate up on her feet, only to have her slap him, which caused Phineas to start laughing again.
Perry held his cheek where Lizzy had slapped him. "Ow!" he said, sounding like he meant it. "Okay, mental note. Don't get on Lizzy's bad side too often."
"That's right," Lizzy muttered, yawning.
"You okay?" Perry asked, rubbing his cheek.
"Yeah, I'm just tired," Lizzy said, yawning again.
"Well then, come on upstairs. That's where the beds are," Perry commented, leading his mate into Phineas and Ferb's room. "So this is Phineas and Ferb's room, but it's also mine, and now it's yours too."
Lizzy pointed at a small bed in between the raft bed and the regular bed. "Is that your bed?"
Perry nodded. "And it's yours also."
Lizzy set her backpack down and got on the bed. "It's so soft! A lot softer than the bed I had back at Doofenshmirtz's," Lizzy added.
Perry shrugged. "I never really noticed how soft it was before, but then again I've lived here seven years. It's possible that for the first couple weeks that I lived here I noticed, but I don't care now."
"Whose bed is that?" Lizzy pointed at a normal bed that was next to the doorway, facing horizontally against the wall.
"Oh, that's Lydia's bed. You've seen her come to Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc. a couple times."
"Okay then, if she lives here, where is she?"
"She doesn't live here all the time. She has hundreds of different houses, and her family is quite, how do I say this, spread out."
"Okay," Lizzy yawned again and curled up in Perry's bed. Perry smiled and got in bed next to her. They were quiet for a few minutes, until Lizzy broke the silence. "Do you feel ready to become a father?" she asked quietly.
"I don't know, but I think so. I'm mainly just worried that I won't make a good father." Perry confessed.
"Why?" Lizzy asked.
Perry took a deep breath in. "I guess I should probably tell you."
"Tell me what?"
"My childhood," Perry replied simply.
Lizzy looked at him. "It's okay, you don't have to tell me."
Perry shook his head. "No, I want to tell you. It's just painful whenever I think about it."
"Then you don't have to tell me."
"No, I will. Let me give you the summary. I hatched in the Tri-State Forest, and both of my parents loved me and treated me well. There was only one problem with my life. A female grizzly bear kept attacking our home. My parents were able to fight her and drive her away, at least until one day. The bear attacked stronger than before, but my parents were also stronger. They hid me in a bush so the bear wouldn't find me. I watched mom and dad fight her, and thought they would win. I was wrong. The bear grabbed my father first, and I closed my eyes, knowing what was coming next. My father was killed. After seeing that, my mom attacked the bear even more ferociously than before, hoping to get revenge, but she failed. That bear ripped both my parents to shreds that day. I attacked out of anger and somehow won." Just telling the story gave Perry that familiar, sharp stab of pain.
"How old were you when they were killed?" Lizzy asked, a lot of sympathy in her eyes.
"One week old," Perry replied.
Lizzy's eyes widened. "So you grew up your whole life without any parents?"
Perry nodded. "The closest person to my father was Major Michael, who was O.W.C.A's major before Major Monogram."
Lizzy shook her head in amazement. "I'm so sorry! I had no idea just what your life was like."
"I never told you before," Perry said. "It's fine." They were quiet until they fell asleep.
(Lizzy's POV)
The next morning, Lizzy woke up to seeing no one in their beds except her and Perry. They must already be up, she thought, looking at her mate, who was still asleep. Lizzy looked at the clock next to the raft bed, and saw that it said 7:15 a.m.
Just then, Perry's watch started beeping, but Perry didn't wake up. Lizzy nudged Perry awake, and showed him that his watch was beeping. "Oh, thanks," he said, pressing one of the buttons on the side.
"Hello, Agent P," Lizzy heard a gruff, male voice say. "I just wanted to tell you that our monitors show that Doofenshmirtz is sick and isn't planning any evil today. You're free for today, unless we get information that Doof is feeling better."
Lizzy smiled at her mate, and Perry nodded, trying very hard to hide his excitement. "Well, now you get the day off," Lizzy smiled once Perry turned his watch off.
Perry nodded. "Are you ready to meet everyone?"
Lizzy hesitated, but then said, "Yeah, I guess so."
"But..." Perry looked at his mate, trying to help her along.
Lizzy inhaled deeply. "But what if they don't like me?"
"How could they not?"
"Last night," Lizzy reminded him.
"Oh, right," Perry started laughing a bit. "I don't think anyone really got mad except you, and you didn't seem too mad."
Lizzy nodded her head in agreement. "True."
"But before you're introduced, we need to see if Linda and Lawrence are asleep, and if Candace is awake."
"Why?"
"Linda and Lawrence still think I'm a mindless animal. They're the only ones in this family that don't know I'm an agent."
"Oh, that makes sense."
"Can you wait here while I go check?" Perry asked his mate.
Lizzy smiled. "Sure!"
"Alright then, I'll be right back." Perry got out of bed and walked out the room.
Lizzy felt a sudden cramp, and laid down. "I'm not even positive I've been pregnant for two days and you're already hurting me," Lizzy said, smiling. "Well, it will all be worth it."
Just then, Perry came back in. "Okay, Linda and Lawrence are still asleep. Candace, Phineas, Ferb, and their friends are outside."
"Their friends?" Lizzy asked hesitantly.
"Oh, they know I'm an agent also. They come over every day, so you might as well meet them also."
"Great," Lizzy said sarcastically. She tried getting up, only to feel the cramp come back. She winced, then laid back down again quickly.
"Are you okay?" Perry asked, looking concerned.
"Yeah, it's just a cramp. I'm fine when I'm laying down, though."
"Maybe you should rest for a little bit longer," Perry said, getting next to Lizzy.
"No, I'm fine," Lizzy grunted, trying to stand up, only to have to lay back down again.
"Look at you, you can hardly stand up!"
Lizzy sighed. "I guess you're right."
"I'll keep you company until you feel better."
Lizzy smiled gratefully at her mate. "Thanks."
Perry laid down next to her. "I hope you don't think I'm being strict, I just don't want you or them to get hurt," he said, looking at Lizzy.
Lizzy snuggled closer to him. "It's fine, Perry." She closed her eyes.
A few minutes later, someone started nudging her in the side gently. "Lizzy, wake up." It was Perry. Lizzy unwillingly opened her eyes, and saw Perry looking at her.
"What is it, Perry?"
"You fell asleep."
"Oh! I did? How long was I out?"
"About thirty minutes," Perry replied. "Are you feeling better?"
"Let's see." Lizzy tried standing up. "Yeah, I feel better now."
"Okay, are you ready to meet everyone?"
"I guess, I'd better get it done and over with. Besides, don't want to keep anyone waiting longer than they already have, right?"
Perry smiled and got up, holding out his hand to help Lizzy get up. Lizzy took it gratefully. "Thanks."
"No problem. Now let's go outside."
Perry and Lizzy started walking down the stairs, and Lizzy felt another kick. She inhaled sharply, causing Perry to look at her. "Are you sure you're okay?"
Lizzy nodded. "Yeah, the cramp's gone now. That wasn't what just happened."
Candace opened up the door to the backyard and ran in, not noticing the platypi on the stairs. "Mo-ommm! Hey dad, where's mom?"
Lawrence, who was sitting at the dining room table eating breakfast, explained. "She's at the store, honey."
"Okay!" Candace started racing towards the door, but Perry called out to her before she could leave.
"Candace! Could you wait to bust your brothers? I want you to officially meet Lizzy, along with everyone else."
"Perry, I thought Lawrence didn't know you're not mindless!" Lizzy whispered.
"He doesn't know. He and Linda don't have translators, so all he heard was chattering."
Meanwhile, Candace heard Perry, so she went back out to the backyard, where she waited impatiently for the platypi to come out. Lawrence, who heard the chatter, walked over to the staircase.
"Quick! Try acting as mindless as possible," Perry whispered, getting into his position. Lizzy, unsure what exactly to do, tried copying her mate's movements.
"What? Two platypi?" Lawrence thought out loud. "Perry, and who's this?" he reached for Lizzy, who backed up. Lawrence, however, succeeded at picking her up. Lizzy started squirming, and Perry looked like he was trying very hard to stay calm and in mindless mode.
"I've never seen you before, who are you? I suppose the boys will know, you're their new pet, aren't you?" Lawrence, still holding the squirming female platypus, went outside, with Perry following very closely.
"Phineas! Ferb! Do you know who this platypus is?" Lawrence held Lizzy out, and Perry started freaking out, crawling all around to make sure she wouldn't fall.
Phineas ran up to his father, Ferb not far behind. Candace stood up, and Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford looked at Lizzy curiously. "Yeah! We got her yesterday, we wanted to surprise you and Mom."
"Who paid for her?" Lawrence asked, and Lizzy started looking a little offended.
"Candace did!" Phineas answered brightly.
"I did?" Candace looked up, and Perry groaned. "I mean, yeah, I did!"
"Well, all rightie then. What's her name?"
Phineas looked at Ferb. "We haven't come up with one yet."
"I have a name, you know," Lizzy grumbled, finally losing her cool.
Since all Lawrence heard was a chatter, he assumed that Lizzy said she wanted to get down. "Don't worry, here, I'll set you down right now," Lawrence said, gently setting Lizzy on the ground. As fast she could on four feet, Lizzy ran over to Perry.
"Maybe you could leave us alone so we could come up with a name for her?" Ferb suggested.
"Good idea, boys! I've got to finish my cereal anyway," Lawrence said, walking inside, as Perry blinked gratefully to Ferb.
"Okay, he's gone," Phineas said.
Lizzy immediately stood up on two feet, but it took Perry a little longer. Lizzy shuddered. "Thanks for warning me about him, Perry," she said sarcastically.
"Okay, who are you?" Buford asked, looking at Lizzy.
"Everyone, this is Lizzy," Perry said. "My mate."
"You have a mate?! Since when?!" Phineas and Isabella asked at the same time, causing Isabella to blush.
"Since a couple weeks ago," Lizzy interrupted, giving Perry a glare that said, I can handle myself.
"So how come you just arrived last night, if you've been mates for two weeks?" Candace inquired.
"I was someone else's pet," Lizzy said simply.
"Then why'd you come here?" Isabella asked.
"Well, it's kind of a long story," Perry took over.
"Well then, better start talking," Buford said, cracking his knuckles.
"Okay, so we met a few weeks ago in front of this house," Lizzy began. "We met up behind that tree every afternoon for about a week after that."
"I asked her if she wanted to become my mate, and she said yes. It would be difficult, since we lived an hour apart from each other. For the next couple weeks, we met up at her house and hung out, after I fought Doofenshmirtz," Perry continued.
"Then yesterday morning, my owner and I found out I was pregnant," Lizzy took over. "I told Perry yesterday afternoon, and said that as long as you guys were okay with me moving in here, my owner was also."
"Who was your owner?" Baljeet asked.
"Vanessa Doofenshmirtz, Dr. Doofenshmirtz's daughter," Lizzy admitted.
Candace's eyes widened. "That's an impressive coincidence. I'm friends with her."
Lizzy looked at the 18 year old. "Seriously?"
Candace nodded. "Yeah! We've been friends a couple years now."
Perry looked impressed. "Wow, even I didn't know that."
Phineas and Baljeet were the only ones that seemed to be hanging in the past. "You have a mate?" Baljeet asked, probably for clarification.
"And she's pregnant?!" Phineas exclaimed inquisitively.
"Yes, Phineas. Please try to keep up," Candace said.
"Sorry, I guess it's just a little difficult to take in. I guess I'm pretty oblivious, huh?"
Baljeet, Buford, and Ferb started snickering, Isabella and Candace groaned, and Perry smirked. "You have no idea."
Lizzy was confused. "What?"
Perry leaned towards her and whispered something. "Isabella had had a huge crush on Phineas for years, and she's probably made it as obvious as possible and he still doesn't notice."
Lizzy blinked. "Wow. He is oblivious!" Just then, she felt another kick, and closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Perry looked over at his mate.
"Are you really sure you're okay?" Perry asked.
"I'm fine, Perry."
"If you want to feel more comfortable with her answer, the two of you could come to my house," Baljeet suggested. "I have a bunch of information on platypi at home."
Lizzy looked at him. "You're kidding, right?"
Perry shook his head. "That's really not a surprise. He has like, 13 volumes on shoelace facts. Having a bunch of info on us actually makes more sense than shoelaces, right?"
Lizzy nodded. "Good point."
Ah, love :P :P as I described it to my friend, it is heartwarming and hilarious at the same time :P :P :P yes, Baljeet has exactly thirteen volumes of shoelace facts, which you find out in the episode Tip of the Day. The books are specifically called Useless Shoelace Facts, and then what volume number it is. And, yes, I pretend that Phineas, Ferb, and Candace watch Doctor Who :P :P and I just HAD to include that Phinabella in there at the end :P :P WARNING: I REALLY REALLY REALLY HOPE I'M NOT OVERSTATING THIS, BUT THE NEXT CHAPTER IS COMEPLETELY BASED ON MY PRESENT KNOWLEDGE OF PnF, REAL PLATYPI, AND OTHER ANIMALS'/HUMANS' GESTATION PERIODS, AND I MADE UP THE INFO THEY GET FOR PLATYPI UP :P :P :P SO, BASICALLY, THE NEXT CHAPTER IS BARLEY SCIENTIFICALLY CORRECT(or maybe it is *shrugs* I didn't find any facts that go against what I made up, but it probably doesn't) so, once again, I'm sorry if I'm overstating it
