newb question: which ends of the capacitors do you ...

[fuzzfarmer]

I have two .001uf caps, and i want to add them together to make .002uf.
Ive been searching for the answer for a while.

I know they are suppose to be in parallel to add them together.
I saw a diagram somewhere before i bought the caps, and now i can't find it.

I'm trying to put them on a perfboard and I need to know which ends do you link together.

I made my own diagram....is one of these right?

The way you have them is in series.
Side by side would be parallel.
