A/N; Hello hello! How are my lovely readers this day or night? I'm starting this on my bus ride to school. That way, I don't have a headache. Oh, and, I'm doing this on an empty stomach. On the day I write this [November 29] we have a pro coming in to help us with the play. Hopefully she doesn't give me such a headache. [After note; She didn't! Yippee!]

Disclaimer; I don't own Phineas and. Ferb. Or Perry and Doof. Or anybody else for that matter besides myself.

A Ghost of a Chance Ch 2; The Exciting Middle Part

Doofenshmirtz cackled as he looked at the fallen body of the animal. He was so giddy that this was one of his only -Inator that worked! Well, not that it was one of the only ones, but the fact that it worked! Finally, he could take over the Tri-State Area without Perry the platypus trying to stop him!

Oh don't get him wrong; he didn't kill the poor critter! He would never have the heart to kill him! Never! In fact, he almost couldn't live without Perry the platypus as his nemesis-no, in his life! From what he's experienced, all other agents are all business, no pleasure. They would never do the things the cute little monotreme would do! He would tolerate the pitiful scientist, he would hold the false doctor's hand if he was scared, he'd have lunch with the man every now and then, he'd save Doof from things, and he'd even help him with -Inators!

That's why, instead of actually killing Perry the platypus, he simply extracted his soul! The machine beside him was just the thing for the job! It was created simply to extract the spirit of whatever being it hit and contain it until it was put back into it's host body. The awareness of what was going on stayed in the spirit form instead of the physical being.

Now, all the evil scientist had to do was just sit back and watch the platypus' teal and orange body fall to the ground limp, the cute little hat falling of the monotreme's head.

He was so happy! With Perry the platypus out of the way, he could finally rule! Without the agent constantly foiling his plans and destroying his -inators, he could finally put them to good use and take over! His brother would pay, his parents would pay, all those who had ever wronged him would pay! He would no longer be a giant looser like everyone thought he was! Then, when he did finaly take over, he could reliece Perry and make the animal his right-hand man or something like that. After all, he loved Perry!… Well, in the weird frienamy way. Nothing more. Well, maybe friends, but that would be really pushing it, but maybe, just maybe, they could become great friends after he took over the world!

Doofenshmirtz simply grinned as he picked up his frienamy and the tiny brown fedora, going on his way.

He couldn't wait until he took over!

Perry internaly groaned. What in the world had happened? He felt terrible all over! Maybe Doof had smacked him pretty hard square in the chest, and that's why he felt as if he couldn't breathe. Then he might have been thrown into a wall, and that's why his back felt the worst. Finally, he must have landed on his front from quite the hight. There was no other explanation as to why he felt almost as if he didn't have a beak.

However, at the same time, he felt as if he was an angel, simply floating around in the clouds, free to travel wherever he pleased. Maybe he had been knocked out by the doctor and, feeling guilty, had been laid down on the couch or something. 'Ha!' The mammal thought. 'Fat chance of that happening!' He more than likely had a flu and the major was alowing him a sick day. That was rare, but there was a time or two it would be allowed. Most of the time, however, he did have to go no mater what. Maybe he had been taken to the vet because of some sort of injury or something! That would explain why he hurt so much. Maybe he was just coming out of his dream state, and that's why his mind was so muddled. As for the pain, maybe he fell off of one of the boy's beds in his sleep.

There were so many things that could have happened, but he had no clue what was real and what wasn't anymore! He needed to know what happened! Well, first he obviously needed to open his eyes. So, that's what he did, but he was shocked at what he saw.

All around him was white. There was no colour whatsoever except for the slight blue hue he was able to see in his line of vision! He spun around, but something felt wrong with his body. He couldn't feel his feet spinning him around. Almost as if…

He looked down, but almost had a heart attack at what he saw.

He looked at himself and swore he was dreaming! There was no way this was possible otherwise! He tried his hardest to believe his body was covered in his regular teal fur. He desperately tried tell to tell himself he had both legs, webbed feet and all. He tried to convince himself he was perfectly fine.

However, that was almost impossible when practically none of that was true.

Instead of legs and feet, he saw a wisp-like tail. Just like cartoon ghosts practically always had. His body was completely transparent, and he could see right through it! He couldn't feel his hat on his head any longer, and that scared the poor mammal…

…But not as much as his new form.

He spun around, trying to find something, but all he could find was a giant green spot. Shrugging, he attempted to race over with the new 'feet' he had. It was tricky, but he started learning to use it just like he did his beaver tail. He flew towards the giant green splotch, then attempted to stop.

Attempted being the key word.

He tried to slow, but he wasn't able to slow and crashed right through the green.

Even with his eyes closed, he could tell he was still 'floating' in the air. He took a deep breath, and smelt something interesting.

Burnt medal.

He only knew that because of all of the times he's seen either the boys or Doof inventing something. He'd know the smell of metal being welded together anywhere!

Opening his eyes, Perry immediately recognized where he was. How could he not know were it was when he was here practically everyday! This was where one half of his life took place. This was were he had the most excitement in his life.

This was Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated.

He still questioned if he was dead or not, but he knew at least some part of him was alive! He wondered why he ended up at Doof's place, but he knew he needed to get back to his physical body if possible!

He leaned back, trying to figure out how to fix this mess, but what he didn't realize was that the -Inator's control panel was right behind him. He ended up sitting on the creation's 'Self-Destruct' button, and, as expected, the machine blew up.

The platypus let out a few small coughs and used his paw to swipe away the smoke and debris around himself. That was just what the mammal needed! Now how was he going to return to his normal form? Build another himself? Even if he could, he didn't have the blueprints nor the knowledge on how to build the thing!

Unless…

Perry's eyes widened as he whipped his head all around, looking for his hat. His fedora may just be his ticket out of this crazy mess! If it had had enough time to copy down the -Inator's schematics, then it would just be a simple process of sending the intel to his watch and copying what the blueprints stated to rebuild it! It was a genius idea!

Looking around, he couldn't find it anywhere! He wondered if Doofenshmirtz might have taken it as a trophy of sorts. Why, if he did, he'd...

There was a sudden crash from the small hallway in the apartment, fallowed by a cry from the evil scientist. "Oh," Doof could be heard saying. "So that's were I put my Christmas things!" The platypus went to rush over, but still struggled a bit with floating on the air, relying on the flimsy whip that replaced his legs and feet. Once he got there, he found the man tangled up in a whole bunch of things. It seemed as if a bin of Christmas things had fallen out of the hall closet and crashed down on him. He was tangled in lights, had the tree slammed down on his arm-pinning it to the wall behind him-and had a few ornaments on him-most noticeably one with Perry's face on it. It had a red, white, and green stripped background, and it had caught on his pointed nose.

And then there, sitting on the ground below the pinned arm, was his fedora.

Perry raced over and reached fot it. He picked it up and put it on his head, but something felt wrong. It felt as if it didn't even belong on his head. The monotreme peeled it off and looked at it, wondering what was wrong. It was his hat, that was for sure, but there was something else about it that got him thinking. Maybe-

There was a screech from Doof. "P-Perry the p-platypus' hat is FLYING!"

The spirit spun around to see his nemesis had gotten out of his 'trap' and was now looking straight at him.

'Time to go!' Perry thought, and rushed away.

He heard the pitter patter of feet fallowing him. Turning into a room, the platypus slammed the door shut and locked it. There was slamming on the other side along with begging for enterance, but he ignored the man's pleas. All he had to do now was find his body. If he was right, he just needed to find his physical self and place the hat on his bodies' head. Then the same thing will happen to his spiritual body.

Turning around, he found just that, but it came with a shock.

All he could do was stare at the body on the bed. It was like he couldn't look away. It was so strange, being able to see himself in this way. It was a weird sensation, to say the least. He couldn't look away. Now he knew how Major Monogram must have felt when the same thing happened to him.

A huge thump from the door snapped him out of his trance as he looked away. He had to hurry up! The sooner he got this done, the sooner he could rebuild the strange -Inator and-

He felt something on his head. He felt it, and jumped for joy. It was his hat! He must of put the hat on his physical body while he was thinking. Sure he was still a spirit, but at least he had his hat!

It was go time now.

A/N; Forgive me for the lateness, but I was super stuck on some parts. Now that I know where I'm going, I should have this up much faster.
