Chapter 7

Perry's POV

Shortly after Phineas and Ferb left, I came around. I chattered softly, not remember where I was or who was with me. I looked over to my left, and I spotted Lily. She was curled up, sleeping. Her leg was bandage up. At first I had no idea why she was like that, and then it all hit me.

If it were not for Lily, I would not be here. I thought. I struggled to remember what had happened. Lily had attacked the dog but gotten injured in her own fight. Then my owners came along. They almost caught me on my hind legs with my fedora on. That is when Lily saved my tail again. Twice in one day. She took the hate from me and threw it away, I had no idea Phineas and Ferb were there at the time so I was angry at first. Then Lily had just flicked her tail back. After seeing Phineas and Ferb, it was all fuzzy.

But I was sure of one thing; Lily was a good animal and had nothing to do with my nemesis. That robot dog was the enemy and I spent all the time arguing with Lily. I owed her so much for today. But where to start?

Seeing Lily asleep, I made deiced to leave her alone right now. Whether I was letting her sleep or postponing the talk with Lily about what happened between us was beyond me.

Lily's POV

I blinked open my eyes and raised my head off my paws. I blinked a few times to get my surroundings. I smiled; being in here, hearing the cartoons downstairs told me two things. I was okay, and so were Phineas and Ferb

Perry? For a second, panic bubbled up in my stomach. I glance over at Perry and breathe a silent sigh of relief. He was okay too. Just sleeping.

I then deiced to try and get up and walk. I struggle to my feet, but made no attempt at walking. I feel back onto the bed with a grunt. I did not know what was wrong with my leg but whatever was wrong with it, it hurt like 10 shots in my leg.

My grunt must have alerted Perry I was awake. I look over at him. I then lowered my gaze to my paws. Though I saved Perry in the fight. Would he care about that now? Would Perry kick me out while I was weaker? I let my ears lie flat on her head, bracing myself but nothing came.

I open my eyes and stare at Perry, waiting for him to say something.

"Thanks, I mean for saving me." Perry murmured to me

I dip my head in response. "You are a fellow pet and a family member. I could not let you get hurt could I?"

Perry nodded. I was looking at him with slight suspicious. I mean a couple of nights ago, Perry was about to throw me out!

Then Perry did something I did not expect to happen. "I am sorry Lily." He apologized, he did not sound spiteful. He sounded… I could not put my paw on the emotion but he was feeling a mixture of guilt, remorse, depression and anger towards himself.

"What for?" I demanded, hostility creeping into my voice.

"I mean for being so rude to you without a far explanation. I would not like that either. I mean, I never even gave you the smallest of chances. I just wish there was some way you could find a way to forgive me. If I even deserve it." Perry murmured.

I pause for a minute, thinking. "I might forgive you Perry. If you give me a real explanation as to why you behaved to me like you did." I hissed. Then I closed my eyes, breathing heavily. A tear glistened in my eye. "If you trusted me, you would give me that."

Perry's POV

I closed my eyes. Lily was right, she did deserver an explanation. I opened my mouth to explain then closed it again. I mean, I had to think about my career to think about right. But Lily HAS to know the truth. Perry fixed a gaze on Lily. She could become an agent, she had great fighting moves. I nodded, that would work.

I sat down and motioned for Lily to sit down next to me. I then began from the beginning. Explaining every detail and how Lily came into place. Lily was silent the whole time. Though her eyes widen at parts in my explanation.

"My nemesis sent the robot dog. He wanted to capture Phineas and Ferb and maybe use them to his advantage."

Throughout the story, I noticed Lily wearing an unreadable expression on her face. What was it? Worry? Guilt? I could not tell. Though my suspicion grew for a minute. No, Lily is good. I thought, going on with the story.

Finally my story came to an end. I included my whole story, how I started, how I became an agent, why I was assigned my mission, everything so that the story made since.

"It can't be true…" Lily murmured, still her expression was unreadable. Though it was unreal, my story, it was truth. Everything I said made since to Lily but it hard to believe. It was easy to tell that Lily was searching for another explanation but could not come up with one.

"I need proof… can you give me that?" Lily asked me.

I nod. "But we will have to sneak past Phineas and Ferb. Any entrances to my secret base are outside."

"Okay." Lily murmured nodding. She struggled to her feet and limped on three legs. The walk outside would be slow but Perry did not mind. As they pasted Phineas and Ferb, sitting on the couch. Looking just bored at the minute, my heart thumped faster. Lily was creeping along easily, as if she could sneak past anyone in her sleep. One of the cat's special abilities I suppose.

Once outside I lead Lily to the tube entrance near the house.

"It will not hurt." I mutter to Lily before jumping in. After a moment, Lily followed.

Finally we arrived at HQ. I braced myself for my boss to start yelling at me as I sprang into my seat with Lily right behind me. I stare up at the screen, waiting.

"Carl! Where are my pants?" I heard my boss yelling at his intern, Carl.

"You ripped them remember? They are being fixed up."

"Well hurry up and fix them before… oh Agent P! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you being looking out for the spy." Then MM spotted Lily. "You caught the spy! Good work agent P."

I shook my head. Lily placed the collar around my neck before anything else could happen. I was surprised Lily could get it off but I did not say anything.

"No, this is not the spy. In fact, she is on our side. I told her, everything." I told my boss.

"Are you mad Agent P? This cat could tell the world! Wait you can talk?"

"The collar." I explained. "Beside, as for Lily, she can fight, she helped me keep my secret even though she had no idea what needed to be kept. She deserves to become part of the agency." I argued back.

My boss was quiet before talking to Lily. He glanced at me to give the collar back. I gave Lily the collar then he started talking.

"Do you wish to become an agent Lily?" Major Monogram asked.

Lily face was a mixture of so many emotions it was hard to tell what she was thinking.

"Me? I spy? Really! I, uh, no. I cannot say yes. I am sorry." She lowered her head then looked back up. "But I can help, I can help cover for agent P on Missions. Plus any home missions, I can help. It would easy to keep my identity from our owners."

I looked at MM to disagree but he sighed and nodded.

"Very well, you will be known as. Double agent C. Now, Double agent C, Agent P, dismissed."

I saluted him; I glanced at Lily to do so as well. She nodded and hastily put her paw on her forehead.

As we walk back inside, we have to once again sneak past Phineas and Ferb. My heart was racing again but it was easier. The boys were talking with their mom, looking normal as if nothing happened that day. But everything happened to me.

Lily curled up as soon as her bed came in sight and she was inside. She muttered a goodnight, clearly not wanting to talk. I deiced not to bother her and I slowly fell into an uneven sleep.
