A/N

Here's more and thanks to those who reviwed.

Sorry about the caps lock thing, but it won't happen again.

A outlaw is in the village but Perry wants to befriend her as she sounds exciting.

plus Vanessa might make an new friend.


Perry gulped, as he entered Emperor Doof's chambers as he thought he was in trouble but Doof smiled, making him relax as he wondered what he wanted.

"I want you to watch over my aby girl and keep her company, since there's a ball tonight." he told him.

Perry nodded in reply, but felt bad for Vanessa as she knew her father cared about her, but just busy.

He then heard the sounds of shouting, as he saw somebody jumping from roof to roof in the village, as Perry went after the stranger.

He'd remembered Vanessa had told him about the stranger, because she'd overheard her father.

He then went after the stranger, jumping from roof to roof, but the stranger was nervous, as she made hand signs with her dark brown red furred paws as chi emitted.

"Who the heck are you?

Why're you in the village?" he demanded.

The stranger then punched him in the gut, but ran off.

She was relieved, as she'd stolen something from the Emperor's temple, but Perry was angry, but would get her next time as he knew that Vanessa needed him.


Vanessa was feeling a little sad, as she could hear a ball going on but as usual she was in her room, which she hated as she wanted to meet new people and have friends, but heard the door open.

Perry had snuck into the royal kitchens, bringing food from the party, as she smiled.

"Won't my father yell at you?

Since stealing's a crime?" she asked him.

"Yeah, but I'll live.

Want to practise karate later?" he said.

A smile was on Vanessa's face at that, making Perry relax, since failing to catch that thief had bummed his chi, but karate with Vanessa always improved his mood, but noticed the young empress seemed happy.

"Can I tell you a secret, Perry?

As long as you don't tell my father?" she said.

He was curious, nodding.

"I met this boy the other night, after sneaking out, but he was sweet and quiet.

His name is Ferb." she told him.

Perry smiled, hearing that she had another friend, but knew her father mightn't be happy about it, but he didn't have to tell Doof about the boy, as it made her happy.

They then snuck out of the palace, heading to the woods, but he saw the outlaw from earlier.

"Perry, what's wrong?" Vanessa asked him.

Rhe dark brown red furred platypus female smirked, knowing the teal furred male used to be an outlaw in the village and part of the same gang she was in, until Emperor Doof had taken him in, but she'd never forgiven him.

"L-Leah?

Why're you an outlaw?" he asked shocked.

She was about to answer, seeing Vanessa there and looked in her eyes, seeing lonliness and a yearning to belong.

"Don't you dare hurt her!" he said.

"I just wanna talk to her, Perry.

I'm well aware of what happened." she answered.

Perry then saw Leah hugging the young empress, but Vanessa liked her.

"I'm Leah.

Maybe we can be friends." she told her.

"Sure, I'd like that, Leah.

I'm Vanessa." she said.

Leah was then teaching her more karate moves, along with using chi in attacks, which Perry knew was very powerful but dangerous to somebody like Vanessa, but heard her laughing which was a good thing.

He knew that maybe this was a good thing, as they were hanging out in the forest.


Doof was anxious, finding Vanessa asleep in her room, as it was the middle of the day along with a strange female platypus he hadn't seen before, but needed to talk to Perry.

He found him fighting against the other guards, using chi.

"What were you guys doing last night, as Vanessa's asleep?" he demanded.

The teal furred male guard gulped, knowing that he couldn't lie as he'd promised to keep his word as his vow.

"We were in the woods all night, Emperor.

For the first time in her life, she had fun." he answered smiling.

Doof's dark blue eyes widened, hearing this as he knew that Vanessa didn't get to act like an normal kid, but hearing about her being happy made him relax.

"Carry on, then." he said leaving.
