I sigh and walk into Doof's lab, feet dragging.
"Ah! Perry the- what's wrong?" He says, noticing my sadness. I chatter sadly and pull out a notepad.
'One of my owners died.' I wrote. His eyes widen.
"Oh, Perry the Platypus... I'm so sorry..." He says. I let a tear escape. Poor Ferb. Phineas hasn't left his room since the accident. Phineas' poor planning had electrocuted Ferb, getting him heartbroken and grounded in one afternoon. Doof places an arm around me.
"Oh Perry... is there anything I can do?" He asks, noticing my unfathomable sadness. I shake my head no and cry into his shirt. He stiffens and pets me slowly. I sob loudly and nuzzle him. He clips something onto me.
"Vent Perry the Platypus. It's a translator-inator." I look up at him teary eyed.
"I don't know what to do Doof. My host family is broken and little Phineas is heartbroken. Linda and Lawrence have been sulking and I am the only source of comfort to little Phin..." I say, crying. He rubs my fur.
"Perry the Platypus, I'm sure it will work out. So, how are you taking it?" He asks, voice my only method of staying together.
"Bad, but I really am not worrying about me. I'm more worried about the kid." I say, trying to compose myself.
"Perry, fix yourself and him at the same time. I know from experience it's hard to lose someone, but it is even harder not to confront your sorrow." I look at him in awe. Heinz Doofenshmirtz comforting me, the lowly Platypus?
"Thank you Doof..." I say softly, pressing the self-destruct button on his inator, unclipping my translator, and walking out to his balcony.
"Perry... curse you." He says, smiling. I tip my fedora and hang glide back to the house. I crawl into Phineas' room. He's still crying.
"O-Oh there you are Perry." He says, wiping his eyes. I chatter and hop up next to the small child. He strokes my back.
"Perry, I don't know what to do. Ferb's all I ever known. I... I was in love with him a-and I got him killed..." I chatter sadly at the boy and gesture to Ferb's jacket.
"Perry... what boy? I know your secret buddy so you can just... write it." He says, nodding to his notebook.
'Make a DNA replicator.' I wrote quickly. His eyes light up as he sits up quickly.
"I know what I'm going to do today!" He yells, running out back to build. I smile and my watch beeps. I slide down to the lair, Doofenshmirtz can't wait a whole day?
"Ah, Agent P, Doof is at it again. I need you to find out what he's up to, and put a stop to it!" Major Monobrow says. I salute and get in my rocket car, blasting to D.E.I. I walk up to the elevator and unlock his door. I have a key, why not use it once in a while? I open the door and see him programing a device. I clip the translator on.
"Heinz?" I say, voice hoarse. He looks at me, an evil glint in his eyes.
"Perry the Platypus, would you like to become human?" I smile happily and nod. He shoots me with a ray and I look up. Everything was suddenly more in focus.
"P-Perry?" Doof asks. I smile and nod. He grins.
"There was a side-effect." I furrow my brows.
"What?" I say. He smiles.
"You're incredibly handsoomeee~" He sings. I smile and look down.
"Heinz, I need clothing." I say. He nods and hands me his lab coat. I wrap it around me.
"Well, I need to get your size. You're obviously around my age, but I swear you're incredibly handsome, no homo." I nod and he has a preset robot team take my measurements. He sighs.
"You're so muscular Perry the Platyperson..." He sighs. I nod happily.
"I work out you know." I say. He nods.
"Of course. I'm not stupid Perry the Platyperson." He says. The bots hand me some clothes that I gratefully slide on. I smile and grab the fedora Heinz holds out. I place it on my head and Heinz smiles.
"Teal hair?" He asks. I nod.
"I'll be going now. I might be back tonight, Linda wont let me stay there as a human." He smiles. I walk to my home and open the gate to a distressed Phineas.
"Perry! Oh thank god! I can't figure out if I need to add pie to 1827 to make this!" I smile and ruffle his hair.
"Calm down, call Baljeet..." I say.
"No! He's on a date with Buford tonight. I couldn't- what are you doing!" He yells.
"Yes?" Baljeet says on the other line. I smile.
"On 1827 do I need pie to make a DNA replicator?" I say. I hear him scoff.
"Of course!" I nod to Phin and he continues building. I smile and he double glances to me.
"You're human! I didn't know Dr. D could manage that..." He muttered, screwing a few bolts in place. I grin.
"Phineas... Heinz can do a lot." I say. He nods.
"Mmm... I'll finish this in the morning. Ma doesn't know who you are so... go stay with Doof." He says, smiling knowingly. I look up at him.
"Uh... what Phin?" He snickers.
"Get out of here you former semi-aquatic egg laying mammal!" He yells, laughing. I sighed in relief. It's good to know Phin is okay. I thought I would never see him that cheerful again. I begin walking downtown, followed by many glances and full on stares from women passing by. Then I saw him, and I just stopped. Everything just stopped. Heinz was sitting on the bench, a stray tear rolling down his face. I walk up to him quietly.
"Heinz?" I whisper. He immediately straightened, wiping his eyes.
"Perry?" He asks, voice wavering. I sit down next to him.
"What's wrong Heinz?" I ask, frowning.
"My mother visited." He sums up. I scoot closer, concern written all over my face.
"What did she do?" I growl. He sighs and shakes his head.
"My father is the one who did something." I instantly grab his hand, looking him in the eyes. He mutters something in Drusselstenian and pulls his collar down. I look at the purple hand marks and knew he'd been choked. I gasp and trace the bruises lightly. He winces.
"Heinz... are you okay?" I whisper. He shakes and grasps me, burying his head in the crook of my neck and sobbing.
"P-Perry... Verstehe ich nicht warum er mich hassen...? Warum liebt niemand mich?" I shush the sobbing man.
"Heinz... I don't know why he hates you. People do love you... people you'd never guess. Move on. That's a chapter in the past... turn the page, but never close the book." I say to him. He smiles, a tear trickling down his cheek. Passersby stare as I embrace the 'evil' scientist.
"Perry, you're right. I never really thought of it that way." He says. I smile lightly at the saddened man.
"Although one person that dislikes you may say you need to change, ask someone that you actually care about. I'm sure their opinion will surprise you Heinz." I say, grabbing his hand and dragging him into D.E.I.
"So... what do you think of me?" He asks. I turn to him.
"Heinz... you're not the brightest color in the rainbow, but you'll always be my favorite color, forever." I say. His face lights up.
"You're a mensch Perry." He says. I smile.
"No problem." I smile lightly. All the sudden a woman walks in and everyone gawks, including Heinz. I smile at her and hug her.
"Hey! I missed you." I say. She stares.
"Perry?" She asks. I nod.
"You know her?" A random man asks. I nod protectively.
"This is my best friend!" I say, growling. He nods and backs away quickly. I look at Heinz who is practically drooling over Carly. Why does he notice other girls instead of me? She did manage to look better as she got older though.
"How is Admiral?" I ask. She nods happily. I smile at her and peck her on the cheek. Heinz approaches slowly.
"Hey Perry, lets go." He says, jealousy on his voice. I ignore him
"She's great!" Carly smiles, looking to Heinz.
"Isn't he your nemesis?" I nod and smile.
"Komm schon. Ich muss zurück ins Labor!" Heinz says overcome with rage. I hold up a finger.
"Carly give Pinky my best wishes." I say. She nods, smiling.
"Will do. Hey... you want to catch up over dinner at Chez Bea-" She is cut off when Heinz delivers a blow to her cheek. She gawks at him, tears welling in her eyes.
"HEINZ DOOFENSHMIRTZ!" I scream out, fussing over Carly. She cries.
"I don't know what I d-did..." She sobs. Heinz fumes and yells.
"Halt die Klappe!" He yells. I widen my eyes.
"Heinz? What's wrong?" I say letting the man drag me away.
"Nothing." He says. I look at him madly.
"That wasn't nothing!" I yell, pressing the up button on the elevator. He sighs.
"I-I don't know what came over me Perry." He says. I huff.
"That's no excuse to hit Carly!" I scream. He looks at me confused.
"How do you know this Carly?" He asks, fuming.
"She's Admiral Acronym's intern!" I shout. He immediately looks guilty.
"I'm sorry..." He mutters. I sigh.
"It's okay I guess. You're evil after all." I say. Heinz can't really help his evilness anymore. He has a kind heart but... but... he isn't good. I mean he is good hearted but he wants to take the place over. I have 3 guys in my life. A guy I love, a guy I hate, and a guy I can't live without. In the end, they're all the same guy. They are all Heinz Doofenshmirtz. By loving him, I feel like I am waiting for something that isn't going to happen. We walk into the living room and Vanessa looks at me. She smiles.
"Perry, I need to talk to you." I nod as we walk to her room.
"I-I think I might be in love with... Ferb." She says frowning.
"Well Vanessa... there is a time in everyone's love life when someone will come in and make you realize why it never worked with anyone else." I say. She smiles.
"Thanks Perry, its about time you told that jerk how you feel, huh?" She says smirking. I blush.
"Uh... uhm... yeah... it is Vanessa. Thank you." She runs out and I walk into the same room as Heinz. He smiles at me.
"Vannie just ran out. She was smiling brighter than I have seen her in years. What did you do?" He asks. I just grin.
"Heinz." I say blankly. He looks at me confused.
"Yeah?" He replies. I smirk.
"You're blushing." I state. His face turns redder and he stutters.
"Uh, Perry... just forget it." He turns the TV on and The Hunger Games comes on. I smile and Heinz lays down. I gasp as Heinz pulls me onto his chest.
"You want to be comfortable, don't you?" I blush and smile like a maniac. He relaxes and I smile as we watch the movie. During the movie I look up at Heinz and notice he is staring at me. His breath becomes ragged as he cups my cheek. I feel my cheeks redden as he moves closer, clashing our lips together. I respond gently moving my lips gently against his as his fingers run through my hair. I taste strudel and meatloaf and moan slightly at the taste. I wrap my arms around his neck and flick my tongue against his lips, pulling away slowly. Then I was back to reality. I widened my eyes and put a hand to my lips.
"U-Uh... I have to... uh... I'll be back!" I yell. I run into Heinz's bathroom looking at myself in the mirror. My lips were swollen and red and I noticed how flushed I was. I ran my hands through my hair and sighed. Why would I let myself fall for Heinz Doofenshmirtz? I sigh and facepalm, walking back out. If you love someone you shouldn't run away from it. When you start to have something special you have to work at it. Even if it seems like the world is against you, you still have to hold on, with both hands! We can't let society dictate who we can and can't be with. I look at the crying Heinz and curl up next to him. He looks down at me and smiles.
"I thought you'd never come back." I smile.
"Why wouldn't I Heinz?" I ask. He sighs.
"I got a call a few minutes ago." He says sighing. I look at him.
"What is it Heinz?" I say concerned. He looks up at me.
"Well... I have cancer."
