Chapter 2
I was transfixed. My pulse was racing. I took a gulp of air. My eyes remained still on the scene.
"This jumbo snake is awesome!" Phineas judged.
"Actually it's an anaconda." Ferb told him.
"Well this jumbo anaconda is awesome! If only mom can see this! We'll be on the news with this discovery, we'll be famous!" Percival squeezed them tightly. "He has a vary hard grip!" He squeezed them so tight that their faces turned blue.
My eyes went wide, as wide as they could go! He was suffocating my owners; I had to stop him before it was too late! I quickly looked for a pebble, picked one up, and threw it as hard at I could. It hit Percival in the eye! Percival sneered, allowing my owners to breathe once more. He looked at me.
"Are we back to throwing rocksssss again platypussss?" Percival sneered.
"Perry!" Phineas shouted. I quickly hid my fedora, went to pet mode, and chattered. "Perry, look what Ferb and I found! It's a giant anaconda! Once we get it in the press, we'll be famous!" Percival squeezed him again. "Although he's awesome, he's also dangerous!" Percival lightened his squeeze, letting him breathe.
I felt sorry for my owners. They were too unknowledgeable to know that they were in serious danger.
"Get out of here Perry!" Phineas told me. "Protect yourself!" I began to run on all fours when all of a sudden Percival hit me with his powerful tail.
"Perry!" Phineas and Ferb gasped as I sailed and fell on the grass.
"Why don't you get up and join the party platypusss?" Percival asked. "We'd love to have you!"
"Cool!" Phineas observed. "Not only giant, but a talking anaconda too. How sweet is that! We'll be famous for sure now!"
I stood up and shook myself. I then looked madly at the anaconda. I wouldn't let them hurt Phineas and Ferb. He had to be stopped, but how? He laughed.
"Come on fight agent platypusss? Or are you too much of a coward?" I glared at him as he laughed. Phineas looked puzzled, and looked up at the giant snake.
"Agent?" He questioned. "Perry? Oh no, no, no. Perry's just a pet, he's not an agent, though it'll be cool if he is one, but he's not. He's just our mindless everyday pat platypus, and we love him just the same."
"Oh, you didn't tell them?" Percival questioned me. "How interesssting!"
"They don't need to know." I simply told him.
"Oh, I think they do."
"No, they don't! Now drop them, or you'll get it." Percival laughed, and squeezed the two again.
"Tell them, or say goodbye!" My eyes went huge again as I sighed.
"Fine!" I said. "You win, I'll tell them."
"Excellent!" I didn't really want to tell them. Telling them could put my job in jeopardy, but what choice did I have? I just wanted the best for them, and to protect them at all costs.
I stood up as Agent P, and put on my fedora.
"That doesn't neccessary mean he's an agent." Ferb pointed out. "Anybody can have a fedora like that."
"But why does he need a hat?" Phineas wanted to know." Ferb thought about this.
"Hmmm, good point."
"Shut up!" Percival shouted at them. "He's an agent and that'ssss that? Ssssee? He'll tell you."
The anaconda lowered the boys to my level. Phineas looked at me, concern in his voice.
"Is this true Perry?" He asked. "Are you really a secret agent?" I looked at him, and looked down again. "Huh, are you Perry? Tell us!" I looked at him, sighed, and…. chattered.
"Okay you two, what the heck is going on out here?" Candace commanded to know. She had opened the sliding door, hands on hips. "Can't you see Stacy and I are watching TV? When mom comes home you are so…" She screamed when she saw the giant anaconda. I eyed her angrily. Can't she see this was more important then her lame TV show here; that this was a matter of life or death here?
"Candace, what's with you?" Stacy asked, coming beside her. "You're screaming like a girl. Well, you are a girl. But come on. We got to watch the rest of IMary, so stop screaming and…" Through her screaming, Candace pointed to what the cause was. Stacy looked, and screamed with her friend. My eyes went larger as the snake wrapped around the girls with his body.
"What is going on here?" Candace shouted. "Why is this snake…?"
"Anaconda." Ferb corrected.
"Fine!" She said. "Why is this anaconda so huge? Ooh, is this your boys' doing?!"
"Nope, not us." Phineas admitted. "But if we did, that would be so cool."
"Not cool!" Candace yelled. "How do we get out of this?"
"We don't know." Phineas admitted.
"I'll get you free when your platypusss here tells you his biggest sssecret." Percival answered.
"Wait, you can talk?" Candace questioned my rival. Percival ignored her.
"The anaconda says Perry's a secret agent sis!" Phineas explained to his sister who looked at him like he was crazy.
"Perry, an agent? Impossible, he's just a dumb mindless platypus."
"That what we thought too." Phineas admitted. "But the anaconda convinces he's a crime fighting, butt kicking, secret agent." They all looked at me. "Now Perry was about to reveal it to us. Go on buddy, tell us? Are you a secret agent?" I just looked at him.
"Tell them!" Percival commanded at me. "Tell them, tell them!" I smiled up at him.
"I can't." I told him. Percival growled in his throat.
"Can't?! What do you mean you can't?"
"Well I can, but they won't understand. All they can hear is my chatter."
"Curssess!" Percival realized. "You're right!" He then hatched another devious plot. "Well, instead of me trying to dessstory you, why don't your owners do that for me?" I was shocked.
"You're fibbing!" I shouted. "Phineas and Ferb would never do that to me. They love me deeply."
"Or they do, do they? We'll ssssee about that!"
All of a sudden, a huge satellite dish emerged from the ground. I jumped as it released its rays all around. What was this mad anaconda doing?! He laughed as he released Stacy, and my owners.
"Phineas, Ferb!" I hollered as I bounded for them. "Hurry, we got to…" All of them turned around, their eyes green. Suddenly, I knew something was wrong.
"Phineas, Ferb?" I backed up. "What happened? It's me, Perry." They all approached me like mindless zombies.
"Must kill platypus!" They chanted in their zombie like tones. "Must destroy, eliminate platypus!"
"Phineas, Ferb?" I backed up some more. They didn't want to hug me; they all wanted to destroy me! Percival must've put them under a magical spell! He laughed as I ran as fast as I could, the mind controlled kids all chasing after me.
"Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Stacy, it's me, Perry!" I ran and ran out of the backyard, and into the street.
