Perry awoke. Still on the same sidewalk. Still in front of the same house. It wasn’t a dream. “Dang it.” Perry realized. He sat there and looked at the house. The curtains that he saw were still closed. He checked his watch; 8 A.M. Perry got up, not feeling weak or tired, and looked around. Not to different from a Danville neighborhood. Or maybe there was a difference. A huge difference.

Anthony awoke too. Just about the same time as Perry. Remembering the strange creature from hours ago, he ran over to the front window. There it was. Fast asleep. Anthony watched it for a moment. No movements. Then, it quickly burst awake. Anthony quickly shut the curtains before the creature realized he was there. After getting a cup of coffee, Anthony raced to Ian’s room. Maybe he was up now. Nope. Ian still lay there fast asleep when Anthony entered. “Ian!” he shouted. Ian didn’t move a muscle. “IAN!” Anthony called once more to his friend. Nope. “God dang it Ian!” said Anthony and slammed his friend’s bedroom door. “Gotta go check it out myself I guess.”

 Anthony quickly found an old baseball bat from an old Smosh video and walked over to his front door. “One… Two… Three!” He quickly burst the front door open. The creature was gone! “I knew it! I knew my mind was just playing tricks on me! Take that mind!” he shouted to himself. Meanwhile, Perry had heard this while exploring the side of the house. “Who in the world?” Perry wondered walking over to where Anthony was standing double checking to make sure the creature was actually gone. “Uhh, dude was that you?” asked Perry. Anthony turned to see, well, the creature. It had just spoken to him. Anthony didn’t remember anything after that.  

Minutes later…

“Dude, you’ve been knocked out for thirty minutes.” Said the creature as Anthony woke up. “Get away from me man!” Anthony screamed jolting awake, starting to back up. “Whoa, dude I don’t wanna hurt ya. Unless you’re a villain; you’re not a villain, right?” the creature asked. “I don’t think I am.” Anthony replied grasping the bat in his hand. The creature turned to Anthony’s shaking right hand. He had the bat pretty tight in his grip. “Put down the bat from starters.” The creature said. Anthony immediately let go of the bat. “Let me introduce myself.” Said the creature, “I’m Agent P, but most people call me Perry.” “I... I’m Anthony.” He replied shakily. After a quick handshake, Perry helped Anthony to his feet. “Anyways dude, I’m starving. Got any food?” Perry asked rubbing his empty stomach. The platypus hadn’t eaten since dinner. All he was dying for was breakfast. “Yeah.” Said Anthony. “Inside we go!” Cheered Perry marching into the house.
