Perry walked down the street, as the wind swirled around him. It was kind of strange for him just walking down the street on his own and not having to pretend he was a mindless animal. It was kind of nice. He felt free.

Perry kind of liked being a human too. He could just go places on his own, withought people giving him weird looks.

Well that wasn't comepletely true. Some people had looked at him strangely because of his clothes and teal coloured hair. A kid had also walked up to him and said "Look mommy, I found a detective!". Strange kid. Perry sighed. He had been walking for hours. His feet hurt.

"Agent P. Agent P!" He heard Monogram say from his watch. He took it off and stuffed in his pocket. He wasn't really in the mood to talk to Monogram now. Maybe after he got Phineas and Ferb to turn him back, he could go down to his lair and demand some answers from the man about the things Phineas had found in the attic and the letter from his past self. The dreams too. The O.W.C.A were keeping secrets, and he intended to find out what they were.

He turned the corner to maple drive and could see the house. It hadn't changed at all, apart from the lost platpus poster on the tree at the front. The boys probably really missed him. He missed them too.

Perry walked slowly around the back of the house. He could hear the Phineas talking to his friends as he aproached the gate. He then saw a hot air balloon with the lost platypus poster on it. They then walked out of the hot air balloon and it flew back up. They all stared at it.

"So much for that." Buford stated and started to walk out. Perry hid being a bush.

"Goodbye!" Baljeet said.

"Bye Phineas!" Isabella said. They all left. Phineas and Ferb sat under the tree.

"I miss him, Ferb." Phineas said dissapointedly. "He always comes home, but he didn't last night". Ferb patted him on the back.

Perry decided that this would be a good time to show himself. He got out of his hiding place and opened the gate.

"Who are you?" Phineas asked. Ferb just stared.

Perry rubbed the back of his neck. "Phineas, It's me, Perry."

"Perry? Is that really you?" Phineas asked in disbelief. Perry nodded, smiling nervously.

"Perry!" Phineas exclaimed. Both boys ran up and hugged him. "What happened?" Phineas asked. "How are you human?"

Perry thought for a moment. He couldn't tell them the truth. He came up with an excuse. "Uh, I got hit with a random ray of light." He explained nervously and rubbed the back of his neck .

"Oh, OK." Phineas said.

"You have an Australian accent." Ferb stated. Perry smiled. He then remembered why he came.

"Uh, do you boys think you could turn me back?" He asked hopefully.

"It would take awhile to calculate how to do it, but we could do it." Phineas said. Ferb nodded. "It would take about a week though."

Perry smiled. "Thanks guys. Hey, where's Candace?"

"She's just at Stacey's. And mom is away for a week."

"And father's asleep." Ferb added.

"Okay."

"Cool clothes!" Phineas said.

Perry was glad he had owners like these boys.

"-And this is how you use cutlery." Phineas explained.

"Uh huh." Perry said. He wasn't really listening, he was too busy thinking about what Monogram's reaction to all of this would be. He also had to ask him if he had wiped his memory.

He didn't need to listen to Phineas anyway. He already knew how to use cutlery and how to eat human food, but it had to seem like he had just been a pet. He was lucky that the boys had asumed he had gained the ability to understand them through the transformation.

"-and this is how you use the bathroom!" Phineas explained. He obviously knew how to use the bathroom!

"OK, I think that's everything you need to know about being a human!" Phineas exclaimed exitedly. He was glad that was over. The boys then led him into their room. They all sat down.

"So where am I going to sleep?" Perry asked. Tonight he was going to see Monogram and talk to him about this.

"You can sleep in the spare room Ferb and I made yesterday. The door to the closet is now a portal to another room!" He exclaimed exitedly. Ferb just smiled. Perry's stomach rumbled.

"Dont worry, we'll have dinner soon!" Phineas said.

Line break

Perry lay in his bed in the spare room. He couldn't sleep. The sandwiches they ate hadn't agreed with his stomach. He had felt sick soon after he ate them. He turned over and lay an arm over his stomach. The uneasy feeling had started to go away.

He checked the time on his watch. His other watch. 12 o'clock it read. Monogram would still be up. He got out of the bed and tiptoed downstairs and then snuck outside.

He was about to go through his entrance on the tree when he noticed a keyhole in the center of the door. He stared at it. Didn't the letter say to put the key in there and to go to this place?

He reached into his pocket and took out the key. He took a deep breath and put it into the lock and turned it.

Nothing happened for a moment, then the door opened up, but this time there was a different tube. It was human sized. And orange. He put a hand through his hair.

Who knew where it would lead to? The letter had just said there would be a machine or something that would give him back his memory of something. Whatever it was, he was supposed to find it. And he had a feeling he was supposed to go down the tube.

He closed his eyes, then jumped into the tube. He hoped whatever was down there was good.
