Chapter 30 I have been and always will be your friend

Quanktumspirit: "Ok... Again, this will be a cheating chapter. I have 3 points for this chapter, and also this closes off the 30 days Perry X Heinz Challenge... Which I managed by: 12. 11. 2016- 17. 5. 2018. Wow, I thought I would be writing this tale out faster, oh well. Please review."

The next morning Perry flew off to see how Heinz was coping, but he couldn't find Heinz in his lab, nor his home, but in his bedroom. Heinz was still in his pj's and pale white.

"Heinz... Heinz, dear, wake up, it's 2 PM." Perry spoke out, shaking his boyfriend.

Perry blinked, but there was no response from Heinz. He checked his nemesis body over but found nothing to be wrong... Apart from...

Perry placed his ear against Heinz's chest... He couldn't hear a heartbeat anymore. His body was also stone-cold, and he wasn't responding.

'No... No... NO!' Perry screamed through his mind, shocked.

He checked with the wrist of Heinz and his watch to see if Heinz's heart was still beating... But nothing.

'NOOOOOOOO!' Perry screamed through his mind.

Perry collapsed next to his boyfriend and shook in his fur, huge tears streamed out of his eyes. His boyfriend... His boyfriend and true love... Was dead...

About 2 hours later, Perry felt someone shaking him and calling his name.

"Perry... Perry, wake up."

Perry opened his eyes and more tears streamed out of his eyes, Major Monogram, Carl Karl and other OWCA animal Agents were now at Heinz's home.

Even the lawyer from Heinz was there. He bowed his head down. Perry watched as Heinz's stone-cold body was placed in a body bag and carried out to the funeral home to be prepared for the burial.

Pinky was by his side and handed the stressed-out agent a glass of water. Monogram and Carl bowed their heads a bit to the Platypus.

"We are sorry Perry, we've only just received the news from Agent Peter the Panda that Heinz has taken his own life last night through a drug overdose. How are you coping?" Monogram asked.

Perry was shaking with fury, how were they thinking he was coping? The love of his life has just died, and they think he would be excited?

Perry just ripped himself away, handed the keys to his car, and walked all the while back home. Screaming in his mind that his best friend and lover was dead.

At home, Perry didn't even bother taking his OWCA hat off, he just sat on the couch and screamed to himself in tears.

Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Linda and Lawrence all tried making him feel better; giving him his favorite food, extra stroke attention, a bath etc. But Perry's mood wasn't lifted one bit.

His job was at a zero point, his true love was now in heaven, and he will be forced to live out his life as a mindless animal for all eternity.

As the evening came and everyone was having their dinners, Perry just moved his worm food round in his bowl and allowed more tears to fall. Phineas and Ferb could feel Perry's soul-crushing spirit from where they were sitting.

It was hurting them a lot to see Perry be in such a downer mood. Just as the family finished dinner, the bell went.

Perry blinked and looked up from his food bowl, at the doorway, and entering the home was Vanessa Doofenshmirtz.

Vanessa walked right up to Perry and faced him, "Hi Perry, how are you coping?"

Perry just blinked, he signed in sign language to her confused, 'You've heard about it?'

"Hu? Oh, that, about dad's death? Yes, Perry, Charlene and I were informed about it. She is currently sorting all the finances out, and I decided to drive down here to see how you were coping." Vanessa explained.

Perry was shaking his head, Vanessa sat down and picked the weeping Platypus up. She embraced him and rubbed Perry round his fur, as professional as if Phineas or Ferb were holding him.

Perry continued shaking and crying, how much this was hurting him, how much he wished he and Heinz had just told each other about their romantic relationship earlier, how he wishes Heinz was still here.

Perry headed to bed upset, Vanessa headed home and Perry slept with huge nightmares keeping him miserable.

A few weeks later, Perry had to attend the funeral of Heinz. All the LOVEMUFFIN and OWCA Agents were there, Perry's own host family, as well as Vanessa and Charlene.

Heinz was lying inside his coffin whiles holding a white rose handed to him by Perry. Perry took his place next to his host family and bowed his head down, heartbroken.

Speeches were held by all the LOVEMUFFIN members how they knew Heinz for being a genius, only he never knew how to actually use his projects for the right reasons. How he inspired a lot of them for turning evil and how he would be missed.

Then they asked Perry to step up and say a few words about his experience with Heinz. Perry blinked, got up and saw the microphone was translated from Platypus to human.

"Well... First off, welcome everyone to the funeral of Dr Heinz Lotta Doofenshmirtz. Yes, his father gave him a middle name of a girl. Anyhow... I was Heinz's longest-running nemesis for over 11 years. (Counting it from the first appearance at the now time). In these 11 years I have gotten to know Heinz's entire history more or less from start to finish and why he does what he has done in his lifetime... But... I wish I had known that in the course of the 11 years that Heinz was not just a simple nemesis for me... He was my first true friend, best friend and a few weeks ago we both decided to open each other's hearts with love. I enjoyed every time I had to head in and stop one of his foolish plans... But... If Heinz instead took the time to see his doctors... He might still be here today. And despite the odd memories we have made together, Heinz will forever be the one nemesis I've stopped, but also the only human just as close to me as my owner's Phineas and Ferb." Perry explained.

As Perry finished, he stepped down and let Heinz's family talk next. He sat next to Phineas whiles crying his eyes out. After the service was finished, the LOVEMUFFIN members picked Heinz's coffin up and carried him out of the church and towards his dugout grave. Everyone followed behind him.

Perry walked last in the line, as his spirit was still falling. Phineas noticed it, he hugged Perry and Ferb himself hugged the Platypus as well.

"Please don't worry, Perry. We will always be together," Phineas smiled.

Perry gave a weak smile. Everyone watched Heinz's coffin lowered into the ground, then one by one earth was tipped on top of the coffin.

Perry stayed last by the grave and placed his mound of earth on top of his best friend's coffin. He wept hard and then placed a wreath of white roses on the grave.

'I miss you Heinz Lotta Doofenshmirtz,' Perry thought as he allowed his tears to fall.

One by one, all the moaners left the graveyard. Only Perry stayed behind, he asked the Flynn Fletcher Family to go on ahead, and he will be with them when he feels the energy to get back up again.

After almost 4 hours after the service, Perry got up and walked even slower back home than normal. With every footstep, Perry felt pain shooting through his body, every breath of air, he took was like millions of blades shooting through his mind and cutting him deeply.

'I've truly lost my one and only best friend,' Perry thought sadly.

By the time he reached his Host family's home, everyone was finishing dinner. They turned their heads to Perry, he just tipped his hat to them before getting his own dinner, still crying on the inside.

He ate his meal and hung his head again, heading to the living room, Perry jumped onto the couch and curled up around his body. About 2 minutes later, Perry felt the couch move, he stared up and saw Phineas and Ferb sitting next to him.

Phineas picked him up and hugged Perry to his chest, Ferb combed over the Platypuses back and both boys sang a quiet song to Perry to try and make him happy again, but Perry didn't want to be comforted at this moment.

"Boy's bedtime," Linda called.

Phineas and Ferb headed upstairs and got ready for bed, Perry didn't follow after them, but instead headed for his pet bed, jumped inside it and then curled around himself.

Linda sighed as she saw their family pet, so sad. She got a book from a cupboard and began reading it aloud to Perry. Perry quietly listened to it and felt a bit better.

The next few days weren't much better, Major Monogram asked Perry to return to work and get himself a new nemesis, but Perry oftentimes refused to have Heinz replaced. He asked to give up his job and he didn't want to work either as a doctor, trainer, linguistics, or any other job OWCA tried to offer him.

At home, Perry also distanced himself from the Flynn Fletcher family. No matter what they tried to do, Perry didn't have his mood lifted anymore.

Instead, Perry packed his bags and decided to move out of the Flynn Fletcher home. He caught a plane and flew with that all the way back to Australia. There he spent the last years of his own life.

He never paired up with any wild Platypus or communicated with anyone anymore. About 3 years later he too died of a stroke and his body was buried by some people in a small graveyard who found him lying in Australia.

Up in heaven.

Heinz Doofenshmirtz was living a calm life now as an Angel, he made a few other dead person's friends, but explained that he had a best friend and lover down on earth called Perry the Platypus.

As the years went by and Heinz got used to flying around the heavens, he was suddenly stopped by one of the Guardian Angels up there.

"Heinz... He has arrived," She explained.

Heinz blinked and turned around, he smiled as a small teal coloured Platypus was racing up to him and giving Heinz the biggest hug he has ever felt.

'P... Perry?' Heinz asked, surprised and shocked.

Perry the Platypus nodded his head, he pulled his ghost OWCA hat out and placed it on his head, Heinz could recognize him even easier now that way.

Heinz hugged the deceased Platypus to his chest as he shook in his body, allowing tears to fall for the first time in years.

'I love you, Perry.' Heinz thought over to the Platypus.

Perry stared up towards Heinz, nodding his head, 'I love you too Heinz. We are now forever together.'

The two 'Angels' kissed each other before heading to their heavenly home together. Nothing will ever rip the two lovers apart, ever again.

Quanktumspirit: "FINISHED! HAPPY!"

Heinz is coming to my side, "Does this mean Quanktumspirit that you will let go of your love between them: Perry X Heinz shipping for good?"

I turn to him and Perry, smirking, "Never. You two are my absolute favorite Phineas and Ferb couple ever. I'll soon come up with another set of tales for you two to walk through."

Perry: "Quanktumspirit doesn't own us two or any Phineas and Ferb characters, they all rightfully belong to our creators. And she doesn't earn any money with us ever. Just for entertainment."
