Well hope you guys like this chapter. I'll try to update faster :)

"Candace! Come back," Perry screamed repeatedly as he ran through the forest. Agent E. swooped down next to Perry and said,

"It's too dark, you'll get lost," Perry ignored him and continued to run and scream for Candace to come back.

'This is why we shouldn't pair up with our humans,' Agent E. thought as he grabbed Perry with his talons and started flying higher and higher until they could see most of the forest.

"Didn't you give her a new belt?" Agent E. asked. Then and there Perry could've smacked himself, he forgot that the belt had a tracking device on it as well. He quickly pushed a few buttons on his watch and in a flash Candace's location popped on the screen.

"She's just a couple of feet away," Perry said happily and soon enough they landed in a tree near Candace's location. When Perry was released from the eagle's grasp he started to look down and saw Candace leaning against the tree they were in crying. It was obvious that she didn't see then land.

"What are you going to do?" Agent E. whispered.

"Just let me talk to her for a few minutes," Perry whispered back. Taking a deep breath he jumped down from the tree and crashed into Candace's lap.

Candace screamed as she pushed whatever just landed on her off her lap and stood up. She looked down and noticed that it was only Perry. Their eyes instantly locked. Candace still felt bad, but she was glad she wasn't alone anymore.

Breaking their little staring contest Perry jumped and Candace caught him in her arms. Perry then put the P.A.T. in her ear and said,

"There you are Candace," They both laughed, but as it died the seriousness of the situation rose again. Candace sat down Indian style, sitting Perry in her lap. She took a couple of deep breaths and decided not to beat around the bush with the conversation.

"Perry I-"

"Wait Candace you missed the whole conversation, the group of animals-"

"They want to kill me. Maybe if I had kept my mouth shut they-"

"Listen! It was just a rumor," Perry said quickly and gave Candace a look that told her not to interrupt him,

"The animals were just upset for a little while, but they are over it now so you have nothing to worry about, you are perfectly safe,"

"So there's nothing…" Candace mumbled slowly.

"At all to worry about," Perry said calmly, completing her sentence.

Candace sighed in relief. It was like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. It was like all the insecurities she felt earlier had just disappeared. She tightened her grip on Perry and fell back, letting her legs uncross so that she was fully lying down. Perry's hat (fedora) fell off and he decided to go into 'pet mode' just for a few minutes. Looking up at the stars Candace petted Perry while the platypus made his famous chattering sound.

Even though it was a nice moment Perry knew it had to end so he squirmed out of her embrace and grabbed his hat (fedora), but didn't put it back on.

Candace stayed where she was; she knew that Perry would tell her when to get up.

Perry looked up the tree expecting Agent E. to still be up there, but he didn't see the bird anywhere.

"Where did he go?" Perry whispered to himself. His question was answered sooner than he thought as Candace's and his bags were dropped right in front of him.

"You're welcome," Agent E. sung as he flew away into the night.

After Agent E. left, Perry was about to tell Candace something when he heard laughter, human laughter and it wasn't Candace. Whoever it was though Perry could tell they would see them in a few seconds. He quickly hid his hat (fedora) and looked over at Candace. The teen was standing up, and was looking to her left.

Perry immediately turned to look and saw three figures walk toward them. They were obviously guys, making Perry worry for Candace's welfare, but it seemed that they haven't acknowledged that Candace and he were standing there so there was still a chance to get away.

Perry looked at Candace and whispered,

"Hey Can-"

"Hey!"

It was too late one of the guys had noticed them making the other two acknowledge them as well. The one who saw them first started running toward them leaving his two companions behind.

Still in 'pet mode' Perry quickly got in front of Candace, ready to spring into action.

The strange person stopped a few feet from them, hunched over catching his breath. When he looked back up both the stranger and Candace gasped.

"It's you!" they both said in shock.

"What do you three want?" Buford sneered as the three Fireside Girls walked up to him. Holly instantly scowled.

"We would like to commence a truce with you," Isabella said smiling ignoring his rude tone. Then using her elbow she jabbed Holly in the gut (but not hard). Holly grabbed her stomach and forced a smile.

"Oh really know?" Buford asked getting suspicious, "Now tell me, do you really want me to believe that you guys want a truce?"

"Isn't that what she said," Holly muttered to herself, luckily Isabella didn't hear it, but Buford did and he wasn't about to let her get away with it,

"What did you say you little-?"

"Okay," Isabella interrupted hoping to stop the fight that was about start.

Buford took a deep breath and motioned for the leader to continue.

"So this is how the truce works we won't start fights with you and call you a baby. In return you don't start fights with us, this includes physical." Isabella explained.

Buford looked at the three girls, making sure to glare at Holly and got a glare from her in return. He then closed his eyes in thought.

'I can trust Isabella and the one with the glasses, but I don't know about Holly…'

Isabella's smiled faltered as she waited for Buford's reply, she didn't really know what to do if he refused. Her heart stopped when he opened his eyes.

"Fine," Buford said slowly. Letting out the breath she didn't know she was holding Isabella said,

"Great now let's shake on it,"

Buford got up and shook Gretchen's hand and then Isabella's, but he turned to Holly….another glaring contest started.

"Look you two," Isabella nearly growled; she was really getting annoyed with these two. "If you two don't shake hands right now something really awful is going to happen to you guys,"

Holly and Buford stopped immediately and considered their options and both shuddered, Isabella could be very cruel at times,"

"Fine," They both said reluctantly and Buford offered his hand to Holly. Holly grunted and bawled her hand into a fist and said,

"Germs,"

Buford shook with uncontrolled rage, his hand instantly turned into a fist.

"I-I'll just ignore that little comment," He said in a shaky voice. Then when the two bumped fists, Isabella clapped.

"Okay so it's settled we'll be friends for know on! Oh, Buford," Isabella said as Buford was walking away from them, "I also have an award for you for accepting the truce,"

Buford perked up and turned around at the sound of an reward,

"That's great! What is it?"

"You don't have to ride with me anymore on the moped," Isabella said happily.

"Yes! That's-"

"You have to ride with Holly," Isabella continued, interrupting Buford and making the bully go silent.

"What!" Holly and Buford screamed.

"I thought you said something terrible wasn't going to happen to us if we agreed to the truce," Buford exclaimed.

"Isabella why are you doing this to me," Holly whined. Gretchen patted her shoulder to make her calm down.

"Yeah, what kind of reward is this?" Buford said regretting ever making a deal with Isabella.

"You two will be the lucky ones to test if the truce is working well. Isn't it great?" Isabella said as she turned from the three and started walking toward Ferb.

As Isabella walked away Holly and Buford sighed, the next three days were going to be the longest three days the two have ever experience.

"I can't believe you are the girl who screamed in the museum," Rick said to Candace, by the sound of his voice it seemed that he completely admired her.

"Yeah when Richard told us about you I couldn't believe that someone actually had the guts to do that," Buck said trying to start a conversation with the famous screamer.

Candace just smiled as they continued down the path to their destination, which surprisingly is called Rainbow Village. It turns out that the person who had run towards them was Richard, the boy who also kicked out of the museum with Candace. When they found out they were going to the same place they had offered to walk them there and offer them a place to stay.

"Hey, don't call me that in front of her! Please call me Rick," Rick said to Candace, but then added hastily, "Only if you want to of course. You can call me Richard if you want,"

"It's alright I'll call you Rick," Candace smiled reassuring Rick that it was okay.

Perry couldn't believe what was happening. It turned out that Candace was a hero among many teenage delinquents, and for what? Yelling in a museum! It was the stupidest thing he has ever heard. The only good part of it was they were closer to Dr. Doofenshmirtz location, so he decided that going with the boys was an okay idea. The fact that they were carrying their supplies for them wasn't bad either.

When they arrived in town they immediately went to Rick's uncle's motel. Rick more than happily gave Candace her own room for free. They made plans to eat breakfast in the morning and then parted ways.

"We were so lucky," Candace exclaimed happily as she sat down on the bed.

"Yes we were, but that doesn't mean you should let your guard up around those three. Do you understand?" Perry said in a stern voice.

Candace nodded, even though she thought the guys were completely safe.

"Good," Perry continued, "You should get some sleep, its 10:30pm,"

"But mom hasn't called yet," As if on cue her cell phone ranged. Candace took the P.A.T. off and answered the phone. She then got up and went to the bathroom for a little more privacy.

Perry then grabbed the P.A.T. from where Candace had left it and jumped out the window of their motel room. When he looked up his eyes locked with Agent E.

"You lied to her," He said, but there was no malice in his voice, it was as if he was used to the Platypus doing this.

~*FLASHBACK*~

"It's probably just a squirrel," Agent E. said relaxing. Perry's glare lingered at the tree for a few more seconds, but it eventually softens as he forced himself to relax and look back at Agent E.

"Well the group is fairly unorganized since the incident only happened a few weeks ago, but we really haven't been keeping an eye on them since we are busy with this mission. The upper branches don't think it is important enough, but I think war between the animals and humans can start up. Though, that's not important at the moment. Candace is safe for the moment, but don't let your guard down PP."

Perry was about to answer, but then he looked back at the tree and saw Candace running…

~*END~OF~FLASHBACK*~

"It was for her own good," Perry said softly, even though he knew he didn't have to make an excuse. "Why are you even here?"

Agent E. chuckled, "Because I'm your friend and as your friend I'm going to make sure you don't return to your old habits," The last part sounded like a warning, no it was a warning and Perry didn't feel like listening so after the bird had finished he went back to the room and shut the window without even muttering goodbye.

"Hey Ferb how are you?" Ferb heard Phineas say over phone.

"Good, a bit boring though," He answered and started to listen to Phineas explain all the stuff he has went through today just to get into the convention. He would tell his brother about this adventure after it was over, he knew Phineas had a lot to worry about, but it was a side of him that just wanted to keep this all a secret. He shook the feeling away and after a quick conversation with his mother he went to sleep. It was 11:15 after all.

Well I hope I didn't get off topic on this chapter. Just to let you know there is going to be a side story about Perry's and Agent E's. relationship. I don't know when that will be posted though...maybe when the sequel is out, but that's another story. Bye
