Doofenshmirtz Goes Good

Chapter 1

"Dad what are you doing?" Vanessa asked when she came into her dad's evil lair. To her amazement, she saw giant teddy bears walking to the windows. With parachutes, they jumped out one by one. Two of the teddy bears were holding Perry's arms captive. Perry chattered madly as the evil scientist laughed out loud.

"Vanessa my sweet daughter." Her father went over to her. "Remember that toys are great joy to children everywhere?"

"Dad, you're not giving me a teddy bear are you? You know I'm too old to play with toys. The Mary Mcgriffin doll is enough."

"No but next time you're interested, I'll give you a call at your mother's house." Vanessa scowled at her dad.

"I'm not interested Dad."

"Whatever, you'll warm up to the idea." Dr. D went to his latest machine.

"No I won't!"

"Whatever. Anyways, feast your eyes on the Toy- jumbo-size brought to lifeinator!" He tapped his chin. "Boy that's a mouthful, but look!" He pointed to specific machine parts. "It's my Jumbo-sizeinator, brought to lifeinator, and my toyinator all in one! How you like that? Pretty neat huh?"

"But Dad why would you make a Brought to Life, toy… Big."

"My Toy -Jumbo-size brought to Lifeinator."

"Whatever! Why would you make something like that?"

"Because when I was a boy…" Vanessa mourned.

"Please Dad, not one of you lame stories again!" Dr. D got upset about this.

"They're not lame!"

"Yes they are Dad. You expect me to believe these stories are why you turned evil?"

"They're true stories and they're quite sad. You should feel sorry for me."

"Dad you know all the stories you tell me are make believe."

"No they're not! They're all true, well except for the unicorn stories when you were five, those were made believe, but all the rest is all true!" Vanessa sighed and sat by the captived Perry.

"Whatever! Let's get this over with." Dr. D still wasn't very pleased with his daughter's attitude but moved on.

"Anyways when I was a boy, I, like most kids, love to play with toys. Because we were so poor and couldn't afford toys, the nursery school is the only place where I could play with them. I pretended I was a train engineer driving a fake train, played with toy airplanes, Tink Tinks, legos, etc. I loved playing with toys!

"So what happened?" Vanessa asked.

"Then one day when I was playing Tinks Tinks, my mother pulled me aside. She told me that we were so poor we couldn't go to the nursery school any longer.

"I was devastated, I would have to cease playing with toys for the rest of y childhood and I was only eight!

"I was the laughing stock because everyone teased me of never being able to play with a toy again. We couldn't even afford them for Christmas or birthdays or Easter. I cried every night, wanting so bad for a toy to play with like everyone else, but nooo, no toy for me."

"Wow Dad." Vanessa realized. "That's so sad, not ever playing with toys since you were eight. I guess your stories aren't so lame after all."

"That's right, they're not." He patted her head. "I'm so proud of you Vanessa; you finally appreciate your ol' man."

"I'm telling mom about this." The Goth girl dialed on her cell phone and held it to her ear.

"What?" Dr. D wanted to know. "What are you going to tell her? Vanessa?"

"Hay mom. You'll never believe this as usual but dad is…" She trailed off as she left the room, still on her cell with her mom. Dr. D looked at Perry.

"Do you know what Vanessa going to tell her mom Perry the Platypus?" The platypus only shrugged. Dr. D shrugged.

"Oh well!" He went to the machine. "With this machine that makes jumbo size teddy bears that come to life, I can force them to steal all the toys in the Tri State Area and bring them to me!" Dr. D laughed as Perry mouth fell agape. "How you like that Perry the Platypus? Now every kid in the whole tri-state area will feel what I felt and all of their toys will belong to me!" He laughed again as Perry jumped a little and kicked the teddies that were trapping him. They sailed across the room. Perry ran for the machine.

All of the remaining teddies went to attack. The platypus jumped, dodged, and attacked them until he reached the machine. He pressed the button and all of the teddy bears shrank and became lifeless once again. Dr. D stopped laughing and looked.

"Huh, what?" He looked at Perry. "Perry the Platypus, how dare you…" Before he finished that sentence, Vanessa and her mom came in the room.

"See mom?" Vanessa said. "Tell me that's not evil!" Charlene looked at the bears, her ex husband, and platypus who now changed into a mindless pet. Perry chattered as a bear fell on Dr. D's head.

"Clean this mess up dear." She told the doctor.

"Yes honey." Dr. D responded. He looked at her.

"Hay wait a minute." He said. "You're not my wife anymore, so stop telling me what to do."

"I'm just giving you advice Heinz."

"Oh, okay."

"Anyways, aren't you a little old to be playing with teddy bears?"

"Uh…, oh, they're not for me." He looked at Perry. "They're for my pet." He picked him up. "He really loves to chew teddy bears. Anything else, he'll ignore. Teddy Bears are his favorite, isn't that right?" Perry just chattered.

"Whatever." Charlene went to the door. "Remember to clean this mess up Heinz." She reminded him as she left the room.

"Mom, mom, mom!" Vanessa called and run after her mom.

"Blah, blah, blah!" He babbled. "I divorced her, yet she still nags me like my mom, it's creepy. I'll clean this mess up when I'm good and ready!" He sat the platypus down again. Perry faced him.

"Well where was I, strange platypus who I never saw before and don't have a clue how you came in here?" Perry sighed, stood up, and put on his fedora once again.

"Perry the Platypus?!" Dr D shrieked, sounding surprised. He looked at him. "Now how do I always not recognize you? Without your hat who else can it be? Gosh I'm really blind about this aren't I? I mean it's should be explicitly obvious that…" Perry kicked his nemesis so hard that he flew and hit his head on the window sill.

Dr. D struggled to get up. The platypus quickly went to the window, stepping on his foe, jumped out, and parachuted gently to the sidewalk. Dr. D looked out the window at the retreating platypus and shook his fist in the air.

"CURSE YOU PERRY THE PLATYPUS!!!!"

"Mom!" Vanessa run to her mother as she was about to go on the elevator. She stopped to catch her breath. Charlene looked at her daughter.

"Mom, I'm not fibbing." She told her mother as soon as she had her breath back. "Dad is evil. He has a platypus nemesis who is really a secret agent and he stops dad from taking over the area and…"

"Vanessa honey." Charlene told her. "Not this evil and agent platypus nonsense again. Give it a rest will you?"

"But…" The doors opened and Charlene walked in and pressed the button inside.

"Honey!" Charlene scorned. "Your dad's not evil and there's no secret agent. He's only an innocent platypus." The doors began to close.

"But mom…"

"Vanessa, it's over with; I mean it. Good day." The doors closed completely. Vanessa pounded the doors with her fists.

"Mom!" She yelled. "You HAVE to believe me! Please! Dad is evil and…" She sighed sadly and turned around. Tears now welled up as she sniffed as a teardrop fell onto the floor.

"Why won't she believe me?" Vanessa asked herself as she strolled sadly home. "I'm 16, not a child anymore. Mom should believe me more. But still, why does she come at the most inopportune times when I try to show her, why, why, why?"

Suddenly she heard voices.

"Oh, there you are Perry." He heard someone say. Perry just chattered. Vanessa stopped and went to get a closer look. There was Ferb and a pointy nosed kid and a triangle shaped head with red a pinch of red hair. She saw an orange haired girl that looked her age, puffed off with disappointment.

"Well that was a good game of skateboarding hockey ever." The triangle faced kid said. ""Wasn't it Ferb." Ferb nodded.

"And the only one at that." He added.

"Right!" The other kid said, heading inside. "I can't wait until we see what awesome creation we design tomorrow. After you return dad's tool box in the garage, you can come inside." Ferb saluted and got to work.

So Ferb and that other kid build inventions like my dad does huh? Vanessa thought to herself. How very interesting.

Then the teenager hatched an idea. An idea she was proud of. Her busting days would be soon over. She smiled to herself as she went out of the bushes, into the yard, and approached Ferb.
