The window to the scientist’s penthouse shattered, letting in a blast of cold air from the snowfall outside. In crashed the agent, known best to his nemesis by his first name and his animal code name.
“Ah, Perry the Platypus.”
The agent’s brown eyes locked onto the latest contraption which was on Heinz’s head, a red headband with a sprig of a particular winter plant hanging down from the front.
“Oh, I see you’ve taken note of my latest invention. Behold, the Mistletoe-inator! You see, my entire life, nobody has ever kissed me under the mistletoe. At every Christmas party, I’m stuck on the sidelines enjoying almond brittle, while the attractive people like my brother Roger get pulled in to share kisses underneath the mistletoe! Well, no more!”
Perry briefly glanced down to the floor, a pang in his heart over his nemesis’ desire for the slightest gestures of affection.
Heinz pointed to a button on the side of the headband. “With the mistletoe-inator, whoever I hit with this ray will have mistletoe appear above them, obligating the nearest person to share a kiss with them! Now, nobody will ever have to be unkissed at the holidays, not even me! The L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. party is this Friday night, and -
Heinz’ sentence was cut off as Perry lunged towards him, aiming to snatch off the Mistletoe-inator. Heinz had developed quick reflexes over their years of nemesis-ship and moved his head just enough to dodge Perry’s hand. Chaos ensued as Perry began to chase him, resulting in the teal-haired man tackling the evil scientist to the floor.
“Perry the Platypus, how dare you! All I’m trying to do is spread Christmas cheer through the joy of kissing.”
Perry finally got the upper hand as Heinz began to ramble, and he snatched the Mistletoe-inator off of Heinz’s head. He began to aim a finger towards its conveniently placed self-destruct button next to the mistletoe ray button. Suddenly, a smirk crossed the teal haired man’s face. Perry pinned himself a bit more firmly against Heinz, then leaned down and met Heinz’s lips with his.
The inator fell to the floor as Perry used both hands to cradle Heinz’s face as they both deepened the kiss.
Thwarting his nemesis could wait.
