Perry was getting sick of being tugged by the leash that Doofenshmirtz was holding and gave out a low growl. "I'm sorry Perry I just couldn't have you walking around the mall as an agent, so I had to make it look like you're my pet platypus. I'm still sorry." Perry just kept walking watching Becky over Doofenshmirtz's shoulder. She waved at him grinning. He winked at her smiling back. Perry tugged at the leash making Doofenshmirtz stop walking.
He looked up at the sign "Mothercare? But 'Windel Druselstien' is just down the-" he got pulled by Perry into the shop.
Becky was sitting on some towels looking at some toys; she was wrapped up in one of Doofenshmirtz's turtle neck jumpers. Doofenshmirtz and Perry were looking at some clothes comparing them on her "what do you think Perry the Platypus purple or blue?" Perry shook his head holding up a red and a yellow pair of clothes "oh come on you can't be…red?! That's a boy colour!" They were still arguing about colours as Becky crawled away towards the toy stand. Perry rolled his eyes and Doofenshmirtz sighed "fine how about we let Becky decide…Becky?" they turned around looking at where Becky was. Perry lept down scanning the area. He pulled Doofenshmirtz along by his leash. They eventually found her by the Toys. Perry hugged her tight but looked at her sternly 'Don't scare me like that' Doofenshmirtz got up from the floor where Perry had been dragging him "Becky, don't sneak off! You understand?" Becky began to whimper, she didn't like being told off. Perry panicked. He quickly picked up a toy duck and made it dance in front of her. As Perry made the funny noises Becky began clapping her hands laughing.
Doofenshmirtz smiled "thanks Perry the Platypus. We almost had a water work on our hands!" Becky was playing with her new duck toy, hugging it and throwing it up in the air. Perry looked at a rack of clothes next to Doofenshmirtz, it was a green shirt and trouser set with a yellow duck pictured on the front. Perry gently unwrapped Becky's temporary shirt. Doofenshmirtz gritted his teeth "b-be careful with her arms…they're really delicate". Perry hesitated after she had put on the pants, he didn't want to bed her arms the wrong way and hurt her. Doofenshmirtz had a method. He rose up his left arm whistling. Becky smiled and did the same. He raised his right arm, Becky copied her dad. Doofenshmirtz raised both his arms "Now Perry the platypus!" Becky raised her arms and Perry swiftly pulled the shirt over her. Perry smiled, it fit her perfectly. He took his watch and put it to camera mode 'Smile' The camera flashed and produced a picture of their little Becky.
3 ½ hours and $4000 later they went out of Mothercare balancing most of the shopping bags on Becky's new pram.
They stopped off at Danville Park for a break. Becky had now found some other girls to play with and Doofenshmirtz and Perry were sitting on a nearby bench watching her play. It was so nice seeing their daughter interacting with others. "she has your eyes y'know…" Perry looked up bemused "Becky…she has your eyes. I'm glad she got yours instead of my squinty things." Perry wrote on a sweet wrapper and passed it to him 'I've aLWays likEd yoUr Eyes. ThEy're nIce'
"Really? You think they're nice? Huh…I've always envied your eyes their so innocent and young just like Becky. She looks just like you; you wouldn't even think that she was also mine…"
Perry took the note from him and flipped it over to its clean side writing something down yet again. 'You cAn't mIstake her nose'
Doofenshmirtz smiled "yeah…thanks Perry the platypus, you really know how to cheer a guy up."
Perry smiled leaning on him. Suddenly a ball of mud came hurtling towards Doofenshmirtz. Perry jumped in front of him taking the hit mud splattering his fur. The mud had come from a very messy Becky who was covered in dirt. She was giggling at Perry and Doofenshmirtz was also holding in his laughter.
