"well, about that, I was shouting at Norm to get him to leave the babies alone- I had my back turn a second! I swear! Phineas and Ferb never moved that fast!- and now they are, uh, missing." Perry shrugged nervously. he knew that Vanessa was very protective of her four month old children.
"YOU WHAT?!" Vanessa shouted. Perry took cover behind the couch when she started throwing stuff at him.
"it was an accident!" Perry shouted.
"you lost my kids!" Vanessa shouted back.
"I didn't lose them! I just don't exactly know where they are..." Perry trailed.
"YOU IDIOT!" Vanessa shouted. Perry suddenly found himself only the floor shocked and hurt. Vanessa just hit him. she hit him! and there was nothing he could do! he was polite! he'd never hit a woman. he just sat there on the floor, a hand over his eye, his shoulders sagging and watched his storm out of the room to find her children. Perry looked torn between wanting to disapear in hurt or in sorrow. he quietly stood, giving Heinz a good view of the blackeye he now supported, and walked away pathetically. Heinz didn't know what to do, but decided finding Michael and Isabelle was more important at the moment seeing as they were just babies and Perry looked like he wanted to punch someone himself. he went off the find them. Perry just stood looking at himself in the mirror in Heinz's room.
"Candace was right I am just a good for nothing meat brick." Perry mumbled. he couldn't believe he'd lost his supposed neice and nephew. he sighed and hung his feet over the railing on the balchany outside the window. he didn't move when he heard the door open and close, but he did turn his head when the person sat on the railing with him.
"we found them. they were under your piano sleeping. neither is hurt by the way." Heinz said. Perry nodded but didn't say a word. "she's sorry ,ya know? for hitting you." Heinz said after a moment. Perry snorted sarcastically.
"why should she be sorry?" Perry ask bitterly. he climbed off the rail and into the room, Heinz followed behind.
"because she let her anger controll her." Heinz replied. Perry froze midstep. he spund around and Heinz could see it in his eyes, that he was beating himself up on the inside for this.
"I lost my neice and nephew." Perry said quietly. "I lost my four month old neice and nephew! I lost her kids and SHE'S sorry?!" Perry shouted. Heinz flintched back slightly. Perry flopped down on the bed and put his head in his hands. "I'm surprizaed neither of you killed me." Perry mumbled. Heinz sat beside him and put his arm around him in a gentle hug.
"Perry, you made a mistake. as you said it was an accident. we know it's been away since you've baby sat. it's ok. neither of the babies got hurt and thats what matters." Heinz said. he pulled Perry's face out of his hands and took a look at his black eye. "you seem to heal quite quickly. this'll be gone in about five to seven days." Heinz added. Perry mumbled something and sighted again.
"I miss being 'just a Platypus, that doesn't do much'." Perry sighed. Heinz felt his chest tighten.
"w-well if you really want that I'm sure I could work on it." Heinz shrugged. Perry suddenly realized what he'd said.
"oh no I could never leave any of my boys like that." Perry said. Heinz looked confused.
"what are you talking about?" Heinz ask. Perry twiddled his fingers.
"it's against the rules to let your family or 'nemises' know of your secret life. if I go back to a Platypus I'd have to leave you, I'd have to leave Phineas and Ferb, I'd have to leave the Tri-State area. Major Monograms a stiff about that stuff." Perry mumbled.
"why didn't he send you away as a human and well before you were a human you told them with the translator." Heinz ask he was so confused.
"it would look suspicious if people started randomly dissapearing, more so than an animal dissapearing." Perry replied.
"he can't just take you away without your permission!" Heinz exclaimed. Perry bit his lip.
"not for long anyway." Perry said.
"whats that mean?" Heinz ask.
"I'm transfering to the trainning squad because you got the job as the inventor and it'd make it to where I'd be trainning rookie's and when I'm done I get to help you." Perry said. he had a shine in his eyes. Heinz jumped up pulling him with him.
"I got the job?!" Heinz exclaimed. Perry nodded quickly. Heinz picked him, swung him around, then kissed him. Perry laughed and tried to get away.
"Heinz put me down!" Perry exclaimed with a laugh.
"if I'm not hurting ya, I'm not putting you down!" Heinz replied. Perry laughed and let himself be held for a moment.
"Heinz if you don't put me down we are both going to get a shower in urin." Perry said. Heinz instantly put him down. "thank you." Perry mumbled walking off towards the bathroom. when he came back out he was tackled on to the bed. his lips were captured frantically. Perry laughed and shoved him off. "I understand your happy but tackle me like that again and my shoulder will kick your ass!" Perry shouted. Heinz smiled slightly.
"sorry I forgot." Heinz replied. "are you going to help me put up Christmas decorations?" Heinz ask. Perry lit up like a Christmas tree.
"hell yes I am!" Perry exclaimed jumping up.
"come on let's go get some lights and such." Heinz said. they went to walk out but Heinz stopped. "hold on, we should cover that up." Heinz said looking at his eye.
"why?" Perry ask.
"somebody might think your being abused." Heinz said. Perry looked taken back.
"you abuse me?" Perry ask. he laughed. "as if you'd ever do that!" Perry added.
"you know that and I know that, but they don't know that." Heinz said. Perry huffed.
