Authors Note: I promised another update right after the last one but I didn't deliver it. Sorries! x( Have an update to go with your day!


He may be a paid intern that's not paid but that doesn't mean he can't get slightly irritated at his boss every once in a while, but how come he felt different? He didn't feel irritated, not even slightly. Carl felt this burning rage building up inside of him and he was desperately trying to keep it from escaping…

He could barely contain himself during the major's announcement.

"Attention everyone, I have an announcement!"

"Uh sir?" He had to get away from everyone.

"What is it Carl? Can't you see I'm trying to give an announcement?"

"Yes, but I-"

"Can't whatever you want wait until after I'm finished?"

"Yes, sir…it can."

"Good. Now where was I? Oh right! Attention everyone! I have a very important announcement."

Everyone became silent and the small murmurs died down into nothing. When all was silent, Monogram continued.

"As you all know…we're going on vacation."

"Noooo really?" Doofenshmirtz said sarcastically and he rubbed his arm when Perry hit him, allowing the older male to continue.

"This is a vacation?" Dr. Diminutive asked and was answered by Heinz.

"Nooooo- OW! Perry the Platypus!"

The major continued again as if there were no interruptions "And you're all probably wondering just where we're taking our vacation at."

The platypus turned to his nemesis expectedly, waiting for him to open his mouth and interrupt. The man scowled "What? I'm not going to interrupt this time; I actually WANT to see where we're going."

Perry rolled his eyes and turned back to listen.

"So can anyone guess where we're going?"

The bus was filled with shouts and squawks of different guesses:

"Hawaii!"

"Meow!"

"Las Vegas!"

"Canada!"

"Japan!"

"Slushy Burger!"

Once again, all eyes turned to Pinky. The scientists obviously didn't understand him but they looked at the dog like he was insane anyways. The chihuahua shrank back in his seat and Monogram answered the previous guesses.

"No, no, no, no, no and Agent Pinky I don't know what you just said but we're getting you checked as soon as we get back to Danville."

"Alaska!" Someone shouted.

"You're getting warmer!"

Doofenshmirtz looked confused "I thought Alaska was cold." Perry gave him a 'really?' look and he crossed his arms, sounding defensive "What?...It is!…And besides, I didn't bring a jacket so we better not be going to any place that's-"

"We're going to a ski lodge!" The major finally answered, excitedly.

The whole bus cheered except for two.

"CURSE YOU MAJOR MONOBROW!"

The platypus covered his ears and glared at the scientist sitting next to him.

"Uh sir, can I be excused? I have to…go."

"Of course." Monogram shrugged and Carl ran past him to the back part of the bus behind the curtain. "When you gotta go, you gotta go."

Carl leaned up against the wall and gave a sigh of relief. He looked around and spotted the engine box. He pried it open and began working on the wires.

Terry continued trying to stuff all the suitcases in the compartment above their seats, standing on the head rest part of the chair on his tip toes. His nemesis Dr. Bloodpudding watched on and Poofenplotz did too. Pinky and his nemesis sat right across the row from Terry.

"Isn't this great?" Pinky barked happily and clasped his paws together on the side of his head "We're going to a ski lodge!"

The turtle kept pushing the luggage upward "It's great for animals with thick coats, I don't have any fur and you have very thin fur so we're going to have to make use out of all these dresses."

The chihuahua ignored him and continued "I'm so excited!"

"A ski lodge! Can you believe this Perry the Platypus?! I know I can't!" Doofenshmirtz ranted angrily. "Why is Monobrow such a-"

His voice faded out as Perry got up from his seat and stomped off to the back of the bus where Pinky, Terry and their nemeses were sitting. He took the seat in the row behind them next to Rodney.

"Hey Perry! Guess where we're going?" Pinky stood on his seat and turned around to face him.

"A ski lodge?" The teal agent sighed.

"Yeah! Isn't it great?"

The platypus rolled his eyes and then looked up at Terry who was standing on the very top part of the chair in front of him, still struggling with the suitcases.

"Need any help with that?"

"No, I almost got it."

"How long have you been doing this?"

Pinky chimed into the conversation "Since we first started driving, he's really slow for a turtle."

Terry ignored his comment and glared "Darnit Pinky! Why'd you have to pack so much?"

"Excuse ME for packing what I needed!"

"You don't need twenty five pairs of Isabella's dresses!"

"But you don't understand Terry! I'm going to MISS her!"

"Well I'm going to miss Baljeet, but you don't see me lugging around all his overalls! And Agent P isn't carrying around HIS boys' clothes!"

"Well maybe he doesn't miss them!"

Perry shook his head and sat back in the seat, silence really was a rare thing. That's why they must call it golden. Of course he was going to miss the boys, how could anyone ever think otherwise?

Rodney started talking to him for some reason.

"I understand how you feel; I absolutely hate it when people argue."

The agent almost scoffed if he wasn't so nervous around Rodney. Doofenshmirtz and Rodney always argued, they got into an argument this morning when one of them accidentally stepped on the other's heel. He didn't know why but whenever he was around someone else's nemesis he felt odd and as if any other scientist but Doofenshmirtz was around him, they would just start choking the life out of him or something. That reminded him.

Where's Peter?

"So…" Dennis smirked from behind the bars and Peter immediately cut him off.

"I am not here to talk to you and I'm not here to look at you. I am here to stand watch and make sure you don't escape. I am on guard duty and nothing more."

"Don't you have to look at me to watch me?"

The panda turned around to face the rabbit and groaned in annoyance "Fine! I'll look at you but you can't manipulate me to do anything for you!"

"Look Pete, I don't NEED you to do anything for me."

"You don't?"

"Nope."

"You're not going to try and manipulate me or threaten me to release you?"

"Not at all."

"But we're both alone in the back of a coach bus in a mobile jail that the OWCA apparently has in the back of this bus that we rented for some strange reason…" Peter paused his rant "that's kind of a big coincidence isn't it?"

"The biggest!" Dennis pretended to give a friendly smile but it still looked like an evil one.

"And you're okay with this?"

"Yup."

"Wow Dennis, that's really out of character. Even for- !" Peter was grabbed by the neck and pulled against metal bars; he gulped as he stared into the rabbit's furious and death promising eyes.

"Now, are you going to let me out of here or are we going to have to do this the hard way?"

The panda's only answer was a choking sound and Dennis squeezed his throat even tighter, Peter finally choked out a reply.

"I'm not…giving in… *cough* to your demands."

The rabbit squeezed even tighter and just as the panda felt like he would almost pass out, he was thrown to the ground. He took a deep breath and got most of the air back in his lungs.

Dennis scowled "Fine, how about we work out a negotiation then?"

"No! I'm not doing what you say this time around! I am completely happy with my life and I won't ruin it by doing what you say."

"I'll tell everyone what you did last summer."

"You wouldn't-"

"I would."

Peter considered his options "I can't let you out! What will the other agents and the major say? It'd be my fault!"

"You're on a shift right?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, go out there and say that your shifts over. Send a weaker agent in but before you do all that, unlock the door. I'll jump them and make my escape. Then I'll be gone forever."

"But you always come back with a revenge scheme!"

"I'm done taking out my anger on you stupid agents."

"How do I know you won't jump ME instead once I unlock the door?"

"You'll just have to trust me, it's not like you have a choice."

The panda stared back at him, thinking of what to do next. The clock on the wall clicked as another minute passed. His shift was over at 12:00 PM, it was now 11:59 AM and counting.

"You better hurry; your shift is over soon."

Peter pushed away all the voices in his head that were screaming at him not to do it and unlocked the door just as the clock struck twelve.

11:59 AM

"Almost got it…!" Terry pushed on the suitcases and finally got them all in "Got it!"

The clock struck twelve and everything happened seemingly at the speed of light. The bus lurched and jerked. The suitcases came crashing down on him and darkness came over the turtle.

Everyone screamed.


A/N: I just realized something, I mean I knew it before but I guess whenever I was typing for this story it slipped my mind. Peter doesn't have a mouth O_O I was going to make him bite his lip and that's when I realized it. …How does he even talk? Whatever, I can't change anything now. Screw logic.
