Phineas walked along the sidewalk as he and Seymour came to the nicer part of town. He smiled and looked around admiring all the old looking buildings.
"It's like this place hasn't grown out of the 50's or something! It's so cool!"
"Yeah, Skid Row is a little behind on the times," Seymour said, rubbing the back of his neck in confusion as he responded to the cheery boy. It was an odd thought, probably best not to dwell on for too long.
"Anyways, that's really cool!" Phineas smiled as he said this. They approached a small building, an ice cream shop. Phineas looked in awe. Seymour smiled at the boy when he saw his look of interest.
"Y-you want ta go in?" he asked the little redhead. Phineas smiled wide and nodded excitedly.
"You bet!" Phineas said, stepping inside with Seymour following close behind. The two walked up to the counter where a man stood, waiting for customers.
"Can I get strawberry ice cream?!" Phineas asked him. He turned and looked up, smiling at Seymour, waiting for him to pick too.
"Hi! Um, c-can I have a, a mint chocolate chip cone please?" he asked. A few moments later, they both got their ice creams.
"Thanks!" Phineas said. The two turned and walked out, heading down the sidewalk once again.
….
Back home Candace was impatiently storming about.
"Oh I just KNOW something's going to happen!" Candace spoke. "Something always happens..." she stopped her storming and stood there a moment, directing shifty eyes towards the upstairs. "Of course I can always check on the other..."
Candace turned and stalked up the stairs, heading towards the boys' room. Once arriving at Phineas and Ferb's room, she peaked in to see Ferb laying in his bed with a book.
The teenager narrowed her eyes, not falling for her stepbrother's sickness. At that moment, the silent boy coughed, sounding fairly sick. Candace huffed and walked away from the room.
...
Seymour smiled as he walked with the boy who was talking up a storm. Phineas was telling him of things that were almost impossible to believe. Giant robot dogs and roller coasters? Moon ice cream and inescapable towers that become self aware?! The list o activities the boy claimed to have done was almost infinite. His imagination seemed endless... Though somehow, Seymour found himself believing that the redhead was telling the truth.
As the two continued to walk, they passed a pet store. Seymour turned and saw a few of the pets through the window. One of them seemed to catch his attention.
A little grey cat sat there and looked up at him with big round eyes.
"Awww..." Seymour said with a smile at the cat. Phineas looked at the little animal and then up at Seymour with a big smile.
"Do you have any pets of your own?" The boy asked him. Seymour shook his head, still looking at the cat he saw.
"N-no, not really... Unless you count my plants," Seymour said with a small sigh.
"I've got a pet! He's a platypus we named Perry!" Phineas said with a wide smile. "He's a great pet and I think you should get a pet too!"
"Oh gee... I-I guess that would be nice," Seymour responded. He turned to see Phineas grow excited and rush into the shop. The man followed him in, both walking up to where the little cat was sitting.
"You like that one?" The boy said when he got up to the cat. Seymour nodded with a smile. So the boy went over to the lady in charge of the place at the moment and they brought the cat out of the cage. It immediately snuggles right into Seymour's arms as he held it.
...
Perry the Platypus looked worriedly at Doofenshmirtz who brought the plant over to him. The monotreme began questioning what had gotten into the man. This wasn't like any of his normal attempts. Usually lasers or anything else, but not something like this.
Though, what happened next was a bit unexpected. The plant turned away as if it were bein stubborn.
"What?!" Questioned the confused Doctor Doofenshmirtz. He pushed the plant closer to prompt it, but it just leaned away from Perry. Doofenshmirtz frowned annoyed and disappointed.
"Oh never mind... Useless plant..." The man picked it up and placed it outside his door, hoping someone else would just take it.
Perry rolled his eyes and wiggled out of the ropes, tipping his hat to Doofenshmirtz before pulling out hi jet pack and exiting through the now just now shattered window.
"You know you could have just left through the balcony!" Doofenshmirtz shouted back annoyed. "Oh forget it... CURSE YOU PERRY THE PLATYPUS!"
