Chapter 20 No words

Quanktumspirit: "Oh, I have a very sad idea. Please review."

It was a rare time in Perry's history with Heinz. Normally, whatever mission, he would get against his 'now best friend', Heinz would be talking so much that Perry had hardly time to stop him to give his own opinion.

They have now been together for about 11 days, and Perry has never felt so happy in his entire life.

Anyhow, on this day Perry was on a walk with his owners, he could barely hold his own emotions in check as he was tied up and Phineas and Ferb entered a video rental shop.

Perry looked left and right, quickly, and easily he slipped out of his hold and fished his OWCA hat out. He walked inside the Jewelers' shop and bought, inside the shop, a golden engagement ring. He wrote on the ring and placed in the X a sapphire diamond.

The Platypus smiled and placed it into a black ring box, closed it off and paid $2000 for the ring. Then he hid it in his furred pocket and quickly walked back to his lead, hid his hat and fastened himself back to the lead.

"Come, Perry, let's get an ice cream." Phineas smiled.

Perry nodded his head a bit and followed the boys towards the ice cream shop. Vanessa was also there, waiting for her lover Ferb. As they got into the shop, Ferb ordered himself a vanilla ice cream, Phineas a lemon ice cream and for Perry, they ordered an apple ice cream.

Perry raised a confused eyebrow, but he enjoyed the ice cream anyway. Whiles the family was eating happy, Perry's thoughts were back with Heinz.

'I wonder what he is doing at this moment,' Perry thought and smiled.

"Hey, Perry," Vanessa called out to the pet.

Perry looked up with a bit of his ice cream on his beak, he raised a confused eyebrow. But Vanessa was pointing across the mall.

"Dad is there." She said, smiling over at her father.

Perry's eyes straightened up as he spotted his lover. His face grew a bit red, feeling the ring box, poke in the side of his costume. But Perry didn't move, he just looked back over to Vanessa, confused.

'So?' He was asking her.

Vanessa rolled her eyes, "Go to him, Perry. I'm sure he would enjoy some company."

But Perry shook his head, he wanted to wait a bit and find the right words before he wanted to ask for Heinz's heart.

"Perry, I know the next step is terrifying. But if you don't tell him... It might be too late." Vanessa said, kissing Ferb's head, who turned 3 different shades of red.

Perry smiled, but just as he was going to run over, he saw Heinz walking up to them.

"Hey Vanessa, might I take the other free seat? Hi Ferb, hi Perry." Heinz asked.

Perry raised a confused eyebrow, Heinz's voice was low and sounded like he was full of heartbreak.

Perry activated his speaking clip under his beak, "Heinz? Dear, what's wrong? Why are you upset?"

"Dad, you told me this morning you had a doctor's appointment, correct? What's wrong? What happened?" Vanessa asked worriedly.

Ferb looked at Heinz also scared, "You really don't look too good."

Heinz nodded, he pulled his tissue out and coughed violently into it. He dabbed his head a bit and tried to stop shaking.

"I was actually only at the hospital too... To have my usual flu shot and check up... But... But the doctors instead found something else out. That's why I wasn't home at all, Perry." Heinz explained as tears started building up.

Perry blinked, "Dear... What happened at the doctors?"

"Guy's... I... I have... A tumor in my brain." Heinz explained as tears built up.

Everyone gasped, shocked. Heinz hung his head and Perry hugged him tightly.

"D... Dad... How long have you got left?" Vanessa asked worriedly.

Heinz's tears streamed out of his eyes, "A... About 11 days. I asked for treatment, but they said it is so far developed that no treatment would work for it. And that in these 11 days I should just sort all my financial affairs out, organize my funeral and just enjoy the last days I have."

Perry shook almost uncontrollably, but he still couldn't bring any words out.

Everyone hugged Heinz as he shook himself, he got up slowly and walked back home. Perry couldn't even think of anything comforting to say to him. Only to wish to support him during his final days.

Quanktumspirit: "Ok, shoot me. I know this was over the top, giving Heinz a deadly disease. But I only have 10 days left, so I decided to have him killed off. Please review."
