(So, I just realized that I hadn't published chapter 47... Sorry. It's up now.) Phineas and Ferb does not belong to me.
“Ferb… have you noticed that Perry’s been sleeping downstairs every night since they told us that he’s a secret agent?” Phineas is lying back on his bed, staring at the ceiling.
His step-brother looks over at him, “Yes, yes I have. Why?”
Phineas sits up, hugging his knees to his chest, “Do you think that he only slept up here with us to keep up appearances?”
“I don’t know. Why don’t you go ask him?” Ferb rolls over and faces the wall. He hears his step-brother get up and leave the room. Secretly, he has been wondering the same thing. It’s like everything we knew was a lie. How are we supposed to know what was truth?

Perry tosses and turns in his pet bed. The nightmare is horrible, and he chatters in pain. Phineas has his translator in, so he hears, “No! Everyone… everyone…”
“Perry, wake up!” The nineteen year-old shakes his platypus gently, and ducks to dodge the reflex punch that comes his way.
“You’re okay! It was all a dream!” The platypus leaps up and hugs his owner tightly.
Phineas hugs him back, “Sounded pretty bad.” Suddenly, he has an idea. “Do you want to come up and sleep with us?” Perry looks uncomfortable as Phineas continues, “I actually came down to ask you why you have stopped sleeping in our room lately.” He scratches his ear nervously. “I thought that maybe… you only did it to keep up the appearance of a mindless pet.”
Perry looks down, “I thought that you might not want me to now… that you know that I’m a secret agent.”
“We miss you, Perry.” Phineas lifts up the agent gently. “And it looks like you miss us too.”
“That wasn’t the worst nightmare that I’ve ever had.” Perry chatters softly, cuddling into Phineas’ arms. The young man smiles, remembering how much he loves his pet.
Phineas strokes Perry’s back as he walks up the stairs. “Were we all gone?”
“Yeah… how did you know?” Perry smacks his forehead. “Never mind. I was talking in my sleep, wasn’t I?”
“You screamed no, then said everyone twice in a pain filled voice before I woke you up.” Phineas laughs. “Then you tried to punch me.”
