Needing Each Other As Friends

A/N

Here's more of the story.

Thanks to I Love Ferb and I Luf Perry for their reviews.

I'll put this chapter up later on DA.

In the morning Carl was on his computer as he was doing research for Monogram as he was stunned hearing footsteps as he saw Perry join him but he looked a little sluggish than normal in the morning as he saw that he had dark rings around his eyes as the youngster was scratching a little behind his neck as there were a few red spots on his neck.

Monogram smiled as he saw his adopted son up but saw the youngster watching TV as he was waiting for Doof to wake up but he was itchy which surprised him as he didn't have worms as he'd been to the doctor for a check up already.

"Maybe it's just an itch.

It'll go away." Perry thought.

He then heard footsteps as Doof entered the living room as the platypus youngster hugged him as he knew he'd missed him.

"You okay?" Doof asked.

Perry nodded as he smelt something cooking as it was pancakes as he smiled heading to the kitchen but was disoriented as Doof helped him to the kitchen.

He wondered what was wrong with his friend as he knew Perry was very quiet as he ate some as he wasn't feeling too good and didn't want to worry Monogram as Doof was putting whipped cream on his as he was eating as he'd never had these at his house.

But later he heard the bus horn as he and Perry grabbed their back packs as they headed out the front door as they got on the bus as they sat together at the back but during the ride, Perry was asleep as Doof was worried as he felt his friend's fore head.

It was warm plus more of those red dots were appearing over Perry's turquise furred body as he heard Perrymoan as he saw Perry scratch a little with his paw but didn't want to bother him.

He had a feeling something wasn't right.......

It was recess in Danville Elementary School as the kindergarten class were playing but Perry had no energy to play as Doof and him were sitting under a tree as he noticed his friend scratching himself with his tail as he was worried about him as he wanted him to go tell the teacher but Perry shook his head as he didn't want to worry Monogram and Uncle Carl but he knew that he was right as he was coughing slightly but they saw somebody join them.

It was a girl with red poofy hair.

She wore a pair of dungarees.

"Hey there.

What's wrong with your friend?

He looks like he has chicken pox.

Maybe you should tell the teacher." she said.

"Yeah I told him but he won't doit." Heinz answered.

"I'm Linda Flynn.

My parents and I have been here for a long while.

What's your name?" she said to him.

"I'm Heinz but call me Doofy, okay?

Perry calls me that." he answered.

Linda smiled.

"Nice to meet you Doofy.

We should be going in now." she said.

He agreed as Perry was woken by the bell.

He then followed sluggishly but the teacher was worried as she knew that Perry had been like this all day as she gave Doofy a pass so he could take Perry to the Nurse's Office as they left.

Perry's brown eyes opened as he didn't feel too good but saw Doofy there by his side.

The nurse had gone to phone Monogram to come collect Perry as the young platypus was feeling crummy as he was scratching but Doof smiled seeing that but was worried for his friend as he was scared as he saw Monogram arrive as he was stunned seeing his adopted son so unwell and covered in spots as he picled Perry up gently as Doof saw him smile weakly as they left.

He was worried as he went back to class but the rest of the school day, he was quiet as he was making something for Perry, a card as he was hoping his friend was okay as Linda was wondering what was wrong with him.

"Remember eariler when Perry wasn't himself?

He wasn't well.

His Daddy picked him up from the Murse's Office already.

I hope he'll be okay.

That's why I'm making this card." he told him.

She smiled as she knew he and Perry were best friends and without him, he was miserable.

"I'm sure he'll be back in a few days." she reassured.

He was right as he was waiting for the school day to end because he wanted to go visit Perry.

After school let out, Heinz went to Perry's house.

He rang the doorbell as Carl let him in knowing he was Perry's friend as Heinz headed upstairs as he heard coughing from Perry's room as he entered as the platypus youngster was awake but smiled seeing Doof there as he sat on the bed.

"How're you feeling?

I missed you after you and your Dad left.

I made this for you." he said handing him the card he'd made.

"Thanks Doofy.

I still feel unwell.

I have to go to the doctor later but I feel out of it and unwell.

Plus I'm really itchy." he answered.

Doofy smiled as he saw him scratch using his tail like a dof to scratch fleas.

He heard the phone ring from downstairs and heard his father talking.

He and Doofy wondered who it was as they heard him come upstairs and entered the room.

"Doofy your parents are going out of the town for a while so you can stay with us.

We'd better get going soon because Perry needs to go to the doctor's.

I'm worried about him." Francis said as Heinz saw Perry get outof bed.

He shivered as he was getting dressed as he wondered if he was okay but Perry reassured him he was okay.

They then went downstairs as they got into Monogram's car.

It then pulled out of the driveway as they were headed to the O.W.C.A........

Doof watched as the doctor was examining Perry as the young platypus was a little nervous as he wasn't a big fan of the doctor's but wanted to get better as he let the doctor look at him as Monogram was curious as the doctor finished her examination.

"He has a serious case of platypus pox.

It's common for kids in his species to get it around his age.

Like chicken pox for humans.

He shouldn't scratch as it'll cause scarring.

You should use calamine lotion to relieve the itch.

He needs rest and fluids." she said as Monogram understood.

He then picked up Perry as they went home as they needed to get dinner ready.

When they got home, Perry and Doofy headed to Perry's room as they were sitting on the bed playing cards as Carl was watching as he and Monogram had found Perry's sister was in New Zealand at a rescue centre and they needed to go there at once.

But they knew it was nearly Summer so they could go but would need to bring both Perry and Doofy with them but would wait until Perry got better as they didn't want him to get worse as Carl agreed..

They hoped Perry was okay as they hadn't told him yet.
