A/N: Well, this is the last one. It's mostly Perry just sorting through his life in his head, so there's not a lot of dialogue or interaction with anybody (except sort of at the end). Also, it just gives a basic "what happened afterwards" spiel on everyone. I like how this turned out, for the most part, and I do have plans for other one-shots of some kind (maybe related to this, maybe not) so be sure to keep an eye out! :)

Anyways, thank you so much to everyone who's reviewed and favorited this story! It's been so much fun writing it! But, now, enjoy the conclusion of...

A Collection of Common Nonsense

Common Nonsense

Things were changing for the Flynn-Fletcher family.

First off, Candace had graduated from high school. She was leaving at the end of the summer for college, and Perry was pleasantly surprised to see her actually getting along with her brothers (unlike last summer). She had done some growing up over the last year, Perry thought, and wasn't so much concerned with busting her brothers. At the moment, she was just sucking up the glory of being a kid before she had to officially grow up.

Phineas had just graduated from the fifth grade, and he was absolutely thrilled to be going to the middle school next year, with Ferb this time. Ferb was going into the seventh grade, and (although he didn't show it all the time) was clearly excited to have Phineas be at the same school as him. All of their friends—Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford –would be coming in with Phineas as well, so the entire gang would be back together for the school year. Perry was excited for them; he could see how happy they all were.

Linda and Lawrence's "Flynn-Fletcher Antiques" shop had really picked up as well, and was now doing better than ever. There was even talk about expansion, with Phineas and Ferb talking excitedly about plans for their parents' store.

Phineas and Ferb had also been "tricking out" things for Perry over the course of that summer and the school year, and Perry was very grateful for all the new inventions. Major Monogram and Carl had shown no signs of knowing about the boys' knowledge, and Perry was never relocated (much to his joy and relief). And, despite the fact that she was now "grown up", Candace and Perry had taken to hanging out after the parents and boys were asleep; playing board games or watching sappy chic flicks (of which Perry was rather fond of). Perry and Ferb also continued their random late-night snack sessions. Although Ferb was talking a bit more than last summer, these late-night sessions still consisted of minimal talking, much to Perry's enjoyment.

And yet, despite all these changes in their lives, Perry's work-life still remained roughly the same.

Doofenshmirtz never remembered anything; Perry was one hundred percent certain. The doctor would have done something for sure if he had (at the very least ring Perry's doorbell and run away). And he hadn't, so Perry was sure that his family was relatively safe from the scientist's antics and petty grudges.

It was weird to think about though. Simply watching the flurry of changes swirl around him would make Perry feel like his head would physically spin with the amount of concentration it took to keep everyone's activities straight. But, everyday, he would leave to go fight Doofenshmirtz like nothing had changed.

It was just so strange.

In the end, Perry decided not to think about it. His life was just so confusing that if he tried his head might explode. So, he didn't; he just accepted.

After another typical work day, as Perry was able to leap out of the building just as Doofenshmirtz's latest "Inator" exploded, the platypus could hear the scientist exclaim for the umpteenth time, "Curse you Perry the Platypus!" Right on schedule, just as it always was.

Perry smiled.
