Hey guys, again, this is the second chapter of Perry's family reunion. (Still don't own anything) J
It was the second day of Perry's vacation and family reunion. The Flynn-Fletcher family had left, once more, and had gone to a museum of Lake Nose history, leaving Perry behind.
Perry sat up and stretched, looking at he clock on the wall he saw that it was ten past 6. Realizing he was late he dashed up and out of bed and straightened up then ran down to the den. Everyone was eating breakfast as Perry walked up.
"Hey Perry!" cousin Junius called. "Come here! You can sit by me!"
Perry wandered over, glad that no one cared if he was late, unlike Dr. Doofenshmirtz would. He sat down on the shore and chatted and ate with his large family.
After they were finished they relaxed on the shore, soaking up the sun.
It was an hour past lunch (which was at 10, platypus time), when Perry sat up and saw three figures walking towards them off in the distance, the distance being about three yards away. Perry stood and walked over to the group and instantly recognized Great Uncle Benen and Great Aunt Cordula. But with them was a young girl platypus, about the same age as Perry just about two or three months younger.
Uncle Benen was joking with cousin Camilo, grandpa Arjen, and twin siblings Sarafina and Santxo. Aunt Cordla was conversing and sipping pond tea with Aunt Kristy, Aunt Leata, Aunt Aenea, and Aunt Kaila. All five were siblings who went there own way.
Perry walked over to Uncle Benen and cleared his throat. Uncle Benen turned around, and when seeing Perry, got up and gave him a big hug.
"Look at you Perry ol' boy! Your so old now! Did you say 'hi' to the dinosaurs for me when you were young?" he joked.
"I whish I could say I did, but no sorry. Just a question, do you know who she," Perry pointed to the platypus that his Aunt and Uncle had brought with them, "Is? I've never seen her before."
"Ah yes, Aunt Cordula and I have been meaning to introduce you all to her. Come with me." Uncle Benen tottered over to Aunt Cordula and tapped her on the shoulder.
"What!" she growled at him. "We were just discussing politics and about how they are nasty to have when they are stuck to your fur!"
"That's fine dear, but perhaps we should announce our announcement…"
"Oh yes, okay you get everyone's attention."
Uncle Benen crawled onto a rock, with a little help from Perry (he was a bit large) and cleared his throat.
"Ahem, fellow platypi, I and my wife have an statement to be stated. Take it away darling…"
"Uh, yes. Pomona come here." the sleek platypus came up to stand in front of the Aunt. Now that she was up front Perry could see what she really looked like. She had a more blue completion, with a slender figure and a lock of hair that fell in front of her deep chestnut brown eyes. She wore a leopard print ascot around her neck; her bill was perfectly rounded and her tail was chiseled very elegantly. "Everyone, this is Pomona she is a foreign exchange student from Australia. So just act normally. And I mean normally like a normal family of platypuses."
"We are normal!" Cousin Camilo shouted from the crowd.
"Sure, right," Aunt Cordula mumbled so that only the first row of the family could hear.
After anything else was announced, the meeting broke up and Perry walked over to Pomona.
"Pomona, right?"
"Yes," she replied turning around. "What's your name?"
"Perry, that's what my people call me."
"You have people?"
"Yes, owners. But I keep them safe."
"You sound more like a dog than a platypus," Pomona frowned.
"I am not a dog," Perry argued getting slightly annoyed. Who did this girl think she was? Queen of all the animals? "I am a secret agent."
"Well, then it's not very secret if you tell me you are one, now is it?"
"I am a secret agent to both of my families! My owners don't know I'm a secret agent!"
"You fancy yourself an secret agent? Don't agents have like a badge…" Perry pulled out his badge.
"Okay then, don't they generally have a fedora…" Perry pulled out his hat and put it on his head with a determined look.
Pomona laughed. "Okay 'Mr. Secret Agent Man,' how are your fighting moves?"
Perry poised ready to do battle with anyone he came up against. Suddenly Pomona pounced on top of him and wrestled with him. After about two minutes, Pomona was on top of Perry with him pinned to the ground.
"You need to polish up on your moves," she joked.
"Hey, it's a universal law that you can't hurt a girl!" Perry disagreed. "Besides, my moves are for bigger people, like my nemesis."
"You have a nemesis? Are you just making this all up?"
"No, I'm not!"
"Really?"
"Yes. It's all true," Perry paused for a moment. "I would show you the HQ, but that's not allowed."
Pomona eyed him suspiciously. "That's great," she concluded after a brief analysis. "Well, I'll catch you later." she strutted off with her tail in the air.
She gets comfortable quickly Perry thought. Then he turned to go back to a conversation. But he couldn't help looking back to see if she was talking about him.
Perry walked back to join a conversation and he came to the closest one he could find. Unfortunately Franck was in that group. Franck, the most annoying and irksome platypus on the face of the planet. He had heard what went on between Perry and Pomona.
"Hey! Look it's Perry the lover-boy!"
"What?"
"I heard what you and Pomona said," Franck said with and evil grin. "I now know your down fall in the business of being and agent."
"Yeah right."
"Pomona had you pinned on the ground."
"Yeah, but it's a law that you can't hurt a girl."
"Look, Perry, girls are more dangerous than they seem, trust me. And you have to be willing to hurt them if they hurt you."
"Save your romance tips for someone who is really in love, Franck," Perry sighed.
"Okay then, do say I didn't warn you!"
Perry walked off in silence, thinking. I just need some more sleep, I'm probably tired and that's why I lost.
The politics thing…poly- is that Latin root for many. Ticks are blood sucking creatures. Now you may understand the statement.
