Phineas Flynn was an impatient young man. He hated having to wait for things, but he could do it if necessary. At the moment, he and his stepbrother, Ferb Fletcher, were busy building something, something so small that could fit into their hands. Phineas was a red haired, triangular headed boy with a creative spark that could only be rivaled by his care for his family, including his pet, Perry the Platypus. While Ferb also shared this, he was better at the actual construction work and designing if need be. He had a strange shaped head and natural green hair.
At the moment, the two of them were waiting in a training room with some of their friends. They decided to keep themselves from boredom by inventing an animal translator, since the majority of the people who worked there were not actually people but animals. Buford VonStomm was a young football player with a bully streak. His favorite nerd to bully, and best friend, was Baljeet Raj, a young man from India with a very high IQ and a need to be a perfectionist with good grades. The two of them were working on lifting weights, Buford of course lifting the most while Baljeet was struggling to lift ten-pound weights. Isabella came in with a smirk and an over scared Pinky in her arms.
Just as Isabella sat down next to Phineas and Ferb, she noticed a door opening to reveal a duck and a platypus, both of which were now stunned and terrified. Perry looked to each of the teens, only one of which had noticed them. "Oh, there you are Perry." Isabella said in her cute voice. "Who's your friend?"
It was then that Perry fainted for the first time in his life. "Perry!" Phineas and Ferb were by his side in mere seconds. Darren looked at his friend in shock and barely managed to catch his limp form in his wings. Perry had fainted, Perry! The platypus who wouldn't back down from a fight, the platypus who didn't know fear save for if his boys were in danger, the toughest agent in the O.W.C.A. had fainted! "Ferb, how are his vitals?"
Phineas held Perry in his lap while Ferb checked his vitals with a stethoscope. The two boys fussed over Perry until he woke up with a start. He looked from Phineas to Ferb and back again. "I don't believe this… I'm having a crazy dream and my boys are here… yeah this is all a dream." He was muttering to himself while still trying to figure this out.
"Are you okay, Perry?" Phineas asked holding the platypus' head higher so that he could breathe easier. Ferb may have looked neutral to some, but Perry and Phineas knew, as well as their friends, that Ferb was in a near panic state. Perry then noticed even Major Monogram was in the room with shock in his usually carefree eyes. He had seen him faint.
Perry did his best dumb pet routine with his eyes, hoping the boys wouldn't put together he was an agent. He really didn't want to lose them. "I'm fine, but please be dumb, please be dumb just for five minutes, please, please, please!" Perry chattered. He noticed Darren had his hat on again and was also looking at him with worry. Everyone had been scared for him.
Phineas and Ferb looked at each other and then to their pet with relief in their eyes. They hugged him closely as Darren and Monogram sighed in relief. "Perry! Oh man, you had us worried there, Perry! Thank goodness you're okay." Perry grimaced. It was times like these that made him remember why he loved his owners so much and why he would do anything to keep them safe.
They then placed Perry on the ground again and this time it was the teenagers who stood back nervously. Perry looked towards Major Monogram with fear in his eyes, something that was barely recognizable in the platypus. "I suppose that since my owners now know who I am, I'm going to be relocated?"
"Agent P? Are you sure you're alright?" Monogram never could understand him or the other animals for that matter. He did try though, that was often the most important thing for them. Perry nodded slowly and then indicated to his boys. "Oh, is that what's wrong? Ha-ha, don't worry, Agent P. These are the new recruits I asked you to train, that's all. Today you'll be… getting acquainted with them and then tomorrow you start training them." Perry stared at him as though he had been blasted with a dumbstruck ray. Monogram smiled as he started to walk off. "Oh, and don't worry about being transferred, that's no longer your problem, or Agent P's either." He indicated to Pinky who was shivering in Isabella's grasp.
Perry looked around the room, Darren was laughing with relief that his friend was alright, Pinky was licking Isabella to show how much he appreciated her while she laughed about how it tickled. Buford and Baljeet were just looking at each other as though they had not expected Perry to be there at all, and Phineas and Ferb still seemed a little concerned as they looked to their pet platypus.
It took Perry a minute to figure out that his owners did not have their memories of the 2nd dimensional incident. They weren't yelling at him though because they had been told why he couldn't reveal he was an agent before. Now they were also in on the secret. Perry sighed. It was one of those days that he hated, and at the same time as wished for.
"This is going to be a long explanation…"
