Well this is awkward, I said that I would post this sometime around the New Year and 7 days later I finally get around to it. I still have some changes that I need to make to parts but I should be able to get a majority of it done. Now without further ado, here is my latest story.

(Phineas's POV)

It was yet another wonderful day in Danville; Ferb and I were getting our latest idea ready. "How's the virtual landscape coming along?" I asked as the last of the components arrived. Ferb looked up from his computer and gave me a thumbs up. "Excellent, now all we need to do is install these connectors and we'll be ready to take this thing on the road."

Ferb cleared his throat which caused me to look at him confused. "Phineas, the landscape may be finished but we still have a lot of work to do before it's ready."

"Oh come on Ferb!" I complained. "The landscape is done, the physics are done, the immersion software is done-"

"No it's not!" Ferb interrupted. "Just because we can partially disconnect someone's mind from their body and return it doesn't mean it's done."

"Ferb, we know that it will safely transfer one's mind to and from the virtual scape, we both ran the calculations and it's safe." Ferb sighed and walked over to the latest shipment of supplies. He pulled out one of the cables and brought it over to the main station we had set up in the center of our backyard.

"I still think it's not ready." Ferb repeated.

"It's safer than the last time we tried to get sucked into a video game." I said as I brought over a few more cables. "Instead of digitizing your whole body and running the risk of getting erased when you lose or if the power goes out. With this program we only transmit our consciousness in, while leaving our bodies behind;while only our minds are in the game."

"And here I thought you would get nightmares from seeing Transcendence." Ferb said sarcastically. "You are only fourteen after all."

"So are you." I shot back playfully. "Anyway, this isn't like that at all. The mind will still be connected to the body loosely, so if anything were to happen it can be pulled back."

Ferb continued to look at me until he surrendered with a sigh. "Okay, fine. But I still think we have a lot of work to do before it's ready."

"What?" I complained. "Come on Ferb, everything is almost ready. What do we still need to work on?"

Ferb finished with the last of the cables and went back to the computer. "You can make the system as interesting and powerful as you like, but without any games it's just a paper weight."

"But we only have one thing we have to test it for and … Oh … right." I said as I scratched the back of my head.

Ferb let out a laugh as he momentarily looked up at me. "Yup, all we have is a pretty landscape and a bunch of mechanics with no actual enemies or quests to do."

"Yeah … I didn't think of that." I admitted.

"It's okay." Ferb said with a nod. "I'm adding in a few things so we can do something while we're there; but if we want it to be as fun as it looks, then we need to include a lot more."

"Fine." I conceded. "I'll hold off on the launch date."

I walked over to one of the stations the players would use to enter the game and began checking the systems. As I opened the panel I heard the gate open and felt the air temperature rise three degrees. "Hi Phineas, whatcha' doin'?" I heard Isabella say. That caused me to start sweating.

'Damn it, damn it, damn it.' I thought to myself. 'What is she doing here? I thought she was going to be busy 'till at least tomorrow.' I decided not to be rude, so I answered her. "Hi … Isabella." I said as I tried to focus on the console in front of me. "I thought you said you would be busy today?"

"I was, but then my mom said that a few of Nana's friends got a few more grandkids to help."

"So you decided not to go?" I asked, trying not to look at Isabella.

"Well … Mom and Nana said that I would be too distracting to the 'young men' who they persuaded to help out."

"You don't say." I said jokingly, as I accidentally looked up at her. When my eyes caught sight of her my brain stopped, all I could think about was her and how she made my heart race. I looked at her raven black hair that seemed to shine, into her sapphire eyes that made diamonds look like moss covered rocks, and over her distinct curves; from her above average breasts down to her distinctive hips. 'Damn it Phineas, stop looking at your best friend like this.' I thought as I attempted to casually tear my gaze away from her.

She giggled slightly at my comment and smiled. "Thanks Phineas but you still haven't answered my question."

"Um …" I began as I pushed thoughts of how Isabella had grown into the back of my mind. "What question was that?"

She giggled again and leaned closer to me causing my heart rate to sky rocket. " Whatcha' doin'?" She asked, a little more curiously than before.

"Oh that. Well, Ferb and I made a device that lets you separate your mind from your body and journey into a virtual world." I began as I turned around and continued working on the control panel. "Once there, we will be in a fantasy land where we will play the role of great heroes." My mind went back to the thoughts of our project and I began thinking of various quests that we could implement. "We already have all the rules and character classes ready."

"Sounds like a fantasy role-play game." Isabella began. "Any chance I could join?"

"Well it is." I answered. "And … well … we're still putting the finishing touches on it at the moment, so we still have some time before it's ready for use."

"Okay." Isabella said as she looked over at what I was doing. "How can I help?"

(Ferb's POV)

I watched as Phineas fumbled his words in front of Isabella, yet again. 'There he goes.' I thought. 'He probably doesn't even know that he's in love with her yet.' I continued programing in various enemies that could be fought, and a system that someone on the outside could use to drop them in. 'I just wish Phineas would finally wake up and realize Isabella's feelings for him and that he returns them.' For the majority of the time that I knew about Isabella's crush on Phineas I simply let things take their natural course. I figured that he would realize his feelings for her when he was ready, but about a year ago I had gotten together with a girl of my own. Not two months after that, I was fed up with Phineas's need to be at my side, interfering with my alone time with my girlfriend. It was at that point that I realized that the only way for me to spend quality time with my girlfriend, was to get Phineas attached to someone else. Since then, I have tried to leave Phineas alone with Isabella for an extended time; at least once a week in the hopes that he would finally realize that he was eventually going to marry her. I am behind this week.' I thought as I looked at the two consoles. 'Maybe some extended time in cyber space is just what they need to finally lock lips … and maybe I can help that along' I thought, with a smile, as I began programing a little surprise for Phineas.

"You look like the cat who caught the canary." I quickly looked up to see Phineas standing in front of me. "Why are you so happy?"

"Um … I … just finished this program that allows someone on the outside to place monsters and other foes into the game." I quickly spat out.

"What about quests?" Phineas asked as he leaned on the console.

"That will be difficult. At the moment, I think we should be more focused on a dry run."

Phineas sighed and looked down for a moment. "Well … I guess that's a good idea." Phineas said, with little indication of joy in his voice. "So, are you ready to take the jump into cyber space?"

I sighed and shook my head. "Sorry Phineas, but the program I made is complicated and I barely understand it." I said as I described the select and place function I made. "Not to mention, I'm the best with computers, so if something goes wrong, it's best if I'm out here; so I can fix it."

"So then … I'm going in alone?" Phineas asked, a little depressed.

"Why would you say that?" I asked with a leer.

"Um … who else could go in with me?" He asked.

I pointed over to Isabella, who Phineas had instructed to make sure everything was plugged in. "We need to get a proper multiplayer test; she can join you."

"What?!" Phineas interjected. "But … she's … she … um …"

I ignored Phineas's attempt to avoid having alone time with Isabella and turned to Isabella herself. "Hey Isabella?" I asked, causing her to look at me. "How would you like to join Phineas as one of the first people to journey into the virtual world?"

"Really?" She asked as her face lit up. "That would be amazing!"

I turned back to Phineas who looked worried. "Looks like you will have some company." I said, with a smirk.

"Um … maybe we should wait for more people to come … everyone can enter as a group, then they wouldn't have to catch up to us."

"Um, Phineas?" I asked. "No one else is coming today, besides, we only have two consoles."

Phineas looked surprised for a moment. "Oh … well … it looks like Izzy and I will be going in together then." He said somewhat reluctantly.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Isabella asked as she grabbed Phineas's arm. "Let's get this party started."

"Sure." Phineas said shyly. "But first … I … I need to use the bathroom." And with that, Phineas ran into the house.

(Phineas's POV)

I ran into the bathroom and locked the door behind me. "Damn … why does this have to keep happening?" I asked myself as my mind wandered back to Isabella and how enchanting she was. "No." I said as I shook my head. "I can't fall in love with her, she may be the most beautiful girl in all of Danville, one of the nicest people I've ever met and one of the most capable people I've ever met. But she's my best friend and she would be completely freaked out if she found out that I had feelings for her." I placed a hand over my heart and waited for it to slow down. "Damn, why can't these feelings just fade away already? It's been five years and they've only gotten stronger." I looked at the door and began to think about her again. "What can I expect? She is the most amazing girl I've ever met …" I walked over to the mirror and leaned against the sink. "If I don't keep my distance, then my feelings will probably become irreversible … and then our friendship will defiantly be ruined." I sighed and looked at the door. "I just have to plow through this. if I'm lucky, it won't be that bad and my feelings won't get worse."

I walked over to the door, opened it and made my way outside. "Well, here goes nothing."

As I got outside I found Isabella sitting in a reclining chair we had set up near one of the consoles. "You ready for our trip Phineas?" She asked.

"Um … sure." I replied as I walked over to the other console. "This should be fun." I strapped the head piece on, and Isabella did the same. I looked over to Ferb who was working on the main console.

"All right then, are you two ready?" He asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I answered.

"Well I'm more than ready." Isabella answered.

"All right then." Ferb replied. He began the transfer process and before I knew it, Isabella and I were sucked into the virtual world.

Okay, after rereading this chapter I laughed so hard at all the outdated references I have in it. I have an idea, let's see if anyone can guess when this story was really started, that'll be interesting. Holly, I just looked at it and … well … let's just say that it's been a VERY long time. Now about a few other things, don't expect another chapter before I start school, don't ask me why, just don't. Secondly, does anyone else remember my story the chromosome swapper? Well as it turns out, someone sent me a message saying that they want to take it over for me and I gave them the green light so keep a lookout for that under new stories. I won't give their name until they post a chapter but at which point I will make an update in the original saying who is taking over and anything else I can. Not much else to say so until next time, Axis23 is out, peace!

Hello, my name is Axis23 and I enjoy torturing characters.
