Upon getting off the phone with Charlene he did indeed take two pills. He thought of it as taking one for his head and one for his foot. Thankfully the pain medication was non-drowsy because he had to get that inator working before Perry the Platypus showed up. Heinz had decided that is when everything had gone wrong. Speaking with the platypus last night had somehow made him trip. Maybe Vanessa was right? Could every platypus hate him because of his animosity with Perry? Who kept a platypus as a pet anyway!

Just then Dr. Doofenshmirtz heard a smash from behind him, before turning around to great his foe he pushed one of the levers to make his inator start.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz turned in the direction of the broken glass, "Ah, Perry the Platypus, for once you are too late! And by too late I mean you are two minutes late, seriously it is 11:02, maybe your watch is off?"

The platypus gave Heinz a look of irritation, the doctor was always egger to divulge his plans why was he stalling now?

"Oh you want to know what my scheme of the day is?" Heinz asked while eyeing the inator in the corner to check it's process, images were still flashing by far too quickly, the machine had not made a match yet. "Well let me tell you in a song!"

"My little girls perfect match

Is the new scheme I hatched

It's all part of my plan

To find her the perfect man

So I'll use this machine

She'll be treated like a queen

When it finds the perfect guy

He won't just fall out of the sky

She needs someone wiser,

Not some store supervisor

I think he should be tall,

Not some Joe at the mall

He needs to be funny,

And make enough money

Yes I'll use my device

To make my daughter a wife

And she'll love me for life

Because I found the perfect man

Who will always hold her hand,

And buy her flowers whenever he can

Yes I'll find her the perfect guy

Cuz, there is just no way

(Just no way)

That he's gonna fall from the sky."

Heinz finished and pointed to the inator, "I call it the Perfect Match-maker inator. I will use it to find Vanessa's perfect match so my little girl's heart will never be broken again! Then when it works I will market it and find the perfect match for everyone in the Tri-state area!"

The ominous looking machine made a *ding*.

"Ohh, goody" said Doofenshmirtz rubbing his hands together, "that sound mean it's found a match!" he began walking toward the inator.

Thinking quickly Perry jumped in front of him and made ready to fight.

"Wa-what are you doing, Perry the Platypus? You know technically this isn't even evil. Everyone wants to find their perfect match and live happily ever after."

While Perry took a minute to consider this Doof took his chance to run to the machine and check the match. Just as he was about to look at the picture Perry jumped in front of him blocking the screen.

Perry understood where Doof was coming from but Vanessa hadn't been single for very long, no doubt she wasn't even thinking about finding someone else to like. While Dr. D's intentions were not evil per se, and the end result would undoubtedly be good Perry knew Vanessa would not want her father telling her who she could and could not date.

Doofenshmirtz made a swipe at his foe, to shoo him off the key panel, but Perry was quicker and jumped backwards to avoid impact. He accidently landed on the *print* key causing the machine to shake as it began to print off a picture of the match. Neither Perry nor Heinz noticed this.

Perry jumped sideways to avoid another blow and landed on the *delete* button erasing the match from the screen.

"Oh no!" Heinz cried as the screen went black, "Now I'll never know who is the perfect match for Vanessa." He ran over to the levers and began adjusting them mumbling "maybe if I re-set it and...NO!"

Perry had landed on the DNA in-put pad, the machine had made a friendly *beep* which indicated it accepted the DNA into its database. Doof made a grab for him but missed, again. Suddenly he was blinded by a bright light, "Ugh" he cried, as the inator accepted his DNA as well.

"Oh great, now I have to delete everything and start all over." He sighed throwing his hands in the air.

The platypus was happy with the job he was doing, making things difficult for Doofenshmirtz was always his top priority. Perry jumped again and landed on a button labelled *scramble.* The machine instantly began flipping through the pictures of everyone in the database again, the enemies were too busy fighting to notice.

"Just hold still so I can capture you!" Heinz had recovered from his temporary blindness and was still pursuing Perry, "I can still fix this it you just-"Heinz was cut off when the machine *dinged* again.

"Hun?" Heinz was clearly confused, "what did you do to my match-maker-inator?"

Perry used Heinz moment of confusion to slap him across the face with his tail. The slap sent him spinning around the room, when he stopped Doof turned and looked up at his machines latest match. The screen did not show Vanessa's perfect match. The scramble keys function was to scramble all the DNA samples and find the best match with what it was given. When Doof had searched Vanessa's match he had entered her DNA to be matched with one of many options.

"WHAT! Oh you have got to be kidding me." Doofenshmirtz yelled at his machine, which currently showed a Picture of himself, face squashed against the scanner, and Perry. "A platypus is not my perfect match!" Heinz was furious whit his own invention, "clearly it is not very accurate."

Perry took Doof's rant about the machine as a cover to sneak away and look for the inevitable self-destruct button. Perry found it hiding on the back part of the machine that was against the wall, he pressed it.

Doof was still complaining about the machines incompetence not stopping to think that the only other DNA samples in there belonged to the young single men in the Tri-state area. A cool female voice interrupted his rant...

"Self-destruct in ten... nine..."the machine began counting down.

Perry ran out from under the inator and darted over to the nearest window, a stray piece of paper was attached to his foot.

Doof noticed Perry's escape attempt, "hey, where do you think you're going." He gazed at Perry accusingly.

"Six... five..." the machine warned as Perry jumped out the window triggering his hat to produce handles and helicopter blades. Perry shook his foot and the piece of paper innocently fell to the ground below.


On the ground below Vanessa was walking by, she had just parked her fathers' van in the nearby parking garage and was making her way to his apartment, talking on the phone with her friend Lacy.

"... and he has a totally tricked out car"

"Listen Lacy, he sounds great but you know I'm not even thinking about looking for someone else. I don't need to, and don't want to rush into another relationship. Beside it's not like Mr. Perfect is just gonna fall out of the sky."

"Well what if he did?" Lacy asked, always one to play devils advocate. "What if your perfect match just fell out of the sky?"

"Lacy, you know that's not going to happen, right?"

"Humour me."

"Well then I guess I would give him a chance." Vanessa finally replied defeated. Suddenly a shout from above caused Vanessa to look up, she was right outside her father's building, "curse you Perry the Platypus!" came the cry followed by a muffled boom. Vanessa looked at her watch, it was exactly noon, right on time. She waved to Perry as he floated away with his chopper-hat.

A movement out of the corner of her eye caught Vanessa's attention, it was a piece of paper floating down, and it landed on the side walk in front of her. Curiosity got the best of her and she picked it.

Lacy had to repeat her friends name several times before Vanessa answered.

"Ya, I'm still here." She said as she folded up the picture of a green-hair teenager she knew and tucked it into her purse.

"Is everything okay?" Lacy asked, concern leaking into her voice.

"Everything is perfect." She said with a smile. Walking into her father's apartment building Vanessa thought maybe, just maybe, Mr. Perfect could fall from the sky after all.
