Authors Note: Here is the last chapter. I was going to break it up, but I couldn't find a good place to separate it, so this is an extra-long one. Enjoy!

Pansy's POV

Soon, policemen and firemen rushed into the room. They brought Perry into the ambulance. I rode beside him nervously.

Major Monogram and Carl joined us at the hospital. We waited in silence for the good or bad news. A doctor rushed out of Perry's room.

"He's not going to make it. Go and say your goodbyes." The doctor said with absolutely no expression. Everyone stared at him in a stunned silence.

"What… what do you mean?" I asked with a shaky voice.

"There are too many of his bones broken. He's also lost a lot of blood." The doctor said before turning away. I looked at Doof, who was close to tears. Monogram and Carl looked the same way.

"But…" Phineas interrupted, "Perry has to stay alive! Can't you do something?" The doctor kept walking away, and soon we were left alone in the hallway. We then silently filed into the room. A heavy tension filled the air as we listened to the beeps of the medical equipment. We stood in silence until the machines stopped beeping. Everyone looked at me sadly as I cried my eyes out. Then a booming voice came from the ceiling. I screamed in horror as reality dissolved before my eyes.

I woke up in Phineas' room. It was still night time, and the boys were asleep.

"Pansy? Are you alright? You were whimpering in your sleep." A familiar voice whispered. Perry was sitting in front of me with a worried expression. At the sight of him, I cried tears of both pain and joy. He hugged me tightly and rubbed my back. I tried talking to him, but it came out as gibberish with my crying. He just hugged me tighter.

"Maybe we should go outside before we wake anyone." Perry suggested quietly. I nodded and wiped the remaining tears away from my face.

"Too late…" Phineas muttered sleepily from his bed. Perry's furious stare was enough to shut him up. We went outside without another sound.

We sat together by the big tree. The many lights of fireflies glittered around the backyard. I snuggled against Perry's warm fur, staining it with tears. The rhythmic chirping of crickets and Perry's steady heartbeat were enough to calm me down.

"So, why are you so upset?" Perry asked.

"I had a really bad dream." I replied half-heartedly.

"Would you be comfortable enough to tell me about it?" He asked after a moment of thought.

"Yeah, but it's really scary. You've been warned." I said. At that, Perry gave a small smile.

"Well, I woke up in this dark, cell-like cave. The whole Flynn-Fletcher family was there. We had all been kidnapped by this big dude in a green outfit." I started.

"Wait, do you mean a bald guy that yells in union with lightning?" Perry asked uneasily.

"Yeah. In my dream you called him 'The Regurgitator'." I replied.

"Wow, that's horrifyingly accurate…" Perry muttered.

"You mean that's actually his name?" I asked with narrowed eyes.

"Yeah. When I was reassigned, he was my nemesis. But only for like, 3 hours." Perry said with a shrug.

"You defeated him in 3 hours?" I asked with a smile.

"Yep. Surprisingly, he's easier to defeat than Doof." Perry said.

"Wow… Well, he came into the cell a couple days after. Then he demanded for someone to step forward to be tortured." I said with a shudder.

"Let me guess…" Perry said with a small smile.

"Yep, you stepped forward. Literally. So anyways, this creepy, green-clothed guy dragged us both to this small room, where he threw you against the wall." I said. Perry flinched.

"Ouch. I've had an experience like that before…" He muttered.

"Who threw you against a wall?" I asked with an amused expression.

"Doof. I think it was an accident, though." Perry replied.

"You think?" I asked. Perry punched me lightly on my arm.

"Okay, fine, I'll continue. So the Regurgitator broke all of your bones! And he made me watch! And then he knocked you unconscious and threw us into our cell." I was close to tears now. Perry just stared at me sympathetically.

"And then when Pinky and Peter… finally found us, you were close to being dead… And Doof cussed in front of your whole family…" I said, a small smile showing through my tears

"Doof cussed?" Perry asked me.

"Yeah!" I confirmed.

"Oh, I'm so going to give him a hard time later today..." Perry muttered happily.

"Anyways, the doctor said that you would die… and you did…and then your voice came through the ceiling and scared me half to death!" I stuttered through sobs. I finally broke and let tears pour into my hands.

"Aw, Pansy, it's alright. I'm perfectly fine now! See?" Perry said, hugging me closer to him. I buried my face in his fur. We sat there in each other's arms for some time.

"Perry, please don't ever die!" I begged.

I'll certainly try not to…" Perry chuckled.

"There's that sense of humor I've always loved!" I smiled through my tears. He returned the smile.

"Your eyes sparkle when you're happy." Perry said warmly. "You're beautiful, Pansy. The most beautiful platypus in the world."

"Come on. I'm not beautiful." I scoffed.

"No matter what is said, I think you are." Perry said. I smiled even more and embraced him tighter.

"My goodness, if you squeeze me any tighter, my bones might break for real!" Perry joked. I rolled my eyes playfully.

"Have you ever had a nightmare?" I asked him.

"Of course. Who hasn't?" He pointed out.

"Do you want to tell me about yours?" I asked.

"Are you sure you can take it?" Perry grunted playfully.

"I think after tonight I can live through anything!" I said with an eye roll.

"Okay then. One night, I dreamed that Candace dreamed that Phineas and Ferb were sent to military school." Perry started.

"Why?" I asked.

"I think they built this tower that broke the house in half." Perry replied. I stared at him in shock. "No, I'm telling the truth." He reassured me.

"Anyways, she went to rescue them with Jeremy. So they had to trick the evil military school teacher into handing Phineas and Ferb over, who were brainwashed at that point. Then, when the police had them surrounded, Doof and I came out of the ground on a giant spider and knocked the enemies off of a cliff. Then Jeremy proposed and there was this weird thing with Baljeet controlling puppets on strings…"

"What?" I said, earning a chuckle from Perry.

"Yeah, I know. I dream the weirdest things! Anyways, Candace woke up and told the entire family about me as a secret agent, and Phineas suggested that that's where I went every day. Then all of these men in black came into the house and took them all away and Monogram relocated me…" Perry shuddered and looked at the ground.

"Wow, that is a pretty bad dream… but mine was worse." I said with a shrug.

"Yeah…" Perry agreed.

"Wouldn't it be cool if we could prevent our nightmares?" I asked him.

"Yes. Yes it would. You know, Phineas and Ferb could probably build a machine that does that…" Perry said with a finger on his chin and a witty smile.

"Or maybe you could battle my nightmares!" I joked, jabbing him lightly in the chest.

"Like a dark ninja at midnight!" Perry said before flipping in midair and landing in an attack position. "A killer hidden in the depths of an innocent crowd…" He flipped again. "A needle mixed with hay in a haystack-whoa!" He yelped as I tripped him with my tail.

"You know, if you fought my nightmares, you would have to be able to beat me!" I said with an evil smile.

"Is that a challenge I hear?" Perry asked with a sneaky expression. I nodded and hopped into a defense position.

"Bring it on!" I challenged. Perry smiled and leaped at me. We fought fist-to-fist for a couple minutes. I seemed to be winning slightly.

"You have to use your abilities against your opponent!" I wittily hinted as I faked a punch to make him stumble. A look of realization appeared on Perry's face. I used the distraction to knock him down against the tree. He faked a look of surprise and reached behind himself. He struck me lightly with a long stick. I fell to the ground and watched him in shock as he performed some rather advanced moves with the pole.

"Perry… how?" I stuttered and he pointed the stick at my chest.

"Jojutsu, fighting with a long pole. I learned it in my early days at the OWCA." He replied proudly, twirling the pole like a baton in one hand.

"How come I never learned it?" I asked with crossed arms.

"I don't know. But this is fair. You did give me a hint, you know." Perry said with a wide smile.

"Can you at least let me get a weapon of some kind?" I asked with narrowed eyes.

"No! How is that fair for me?" Perry protested. I glared at him. He sighed in defeat.

"Fine." He muttered as he stepped away to let me get up. I ran to the hose and turned it on. Freezing cold water gushed out. I pointed the nozzle at Perry and put my thumb over the hole. The water blasted him in the chest and pushed him back.

"Hey! Big mistake! That's cold!" He stuttered as he shielded his body with his hands. It wasn't helping much.

"Well, maybe that's how I felt when you shoved me into the pool!" I said with an eye roll. Perry scoffed and attacked me with his pole. I dodged and sprayed him in the face with water. He stepped away and rubbed his eyes.

"Ugh. Can we stop now?" He asked impatiently. I noticed that he was shivering a little.

"Okay. But if you let me squirt you again, I won't tell anyone that you lost to a girl! Twice!" I smirked at his stunned expression.

"Fine. But if I get hyperthermia, it's your fault!" He scowled. I smiled and drenched him with water from the hose.

"Had enough yet?" He growled. He was shivering even more now. I frowned a little and turned off the hose. Perry shook thoroughly and sat down beside the tree. I sat next to him. I could hear his quiet chattering from shivering so much.

"Perry, you're shaking like Pinky!" I accused. I hoped that I didn't go too far.

"N-no I'm n-not…" He stuttered. I frowned even more and placed a hand on his fur. It was freezing cold.

"You feel really cold!" I told him anxiously.

"Well, that's what happens when you're drenched in freezing water…" He muttered. I pulled him closer to me. I could feel him shaking.

"I'm sorry. I guess I went too far…" I muttered.

"I-its o-okay…" He told me quietly.

"No, it's not. Do you want to go inside to get warmed up?" I asked.

"N-no, i-it's a-alright…" He said and lied back against the tree trunk. I moved closer to him and put my head on his chest. He seized shivering and wrapped his arms around me protectively.

"T-thanks…" He muttered into my ear. I smiled and relaxed against his soft fur. We both drifted to sleep in the cold moonlight.
