I'm back with the second chapter of this story. I know that it took me a long time to get this to you, but I have a perfectly good reason (actually I have several). Firstly seeing as so many people like this story (and because a few people asked me to do this) I decided to get a beta reader. Now truth be told that only delayed this chapter by one day, the reason this took so long is because of two things. One is school, and the other is … I dropped my laptop ... on my foot … yeah ... it was painful … but here I am with the second chapter. And without further delay, to the reviews!

NoIdea: That is why I got a beta reader. Thank you for your devotion.

Pregnantnun227: Oh it's about to get worse for him (much much worse).

Dallimater: Thank you.

PianoMan5: Yeah Buford's hide is that thick, I hope it continues to be interesting, and thank you for agreeing to be the beta reader for this story.

D. : Erick was referring to every possible chromosome that existed in the human species, not just the 46 that exist in an individual.

Veebeejustte: I hope it continues to be good.

Guest: Well with school updates might be slow going, sorry.

Skypan: I hope you shall enjoy this story.

Rainbow Phinny: Updates will be slow going unfortunately, but thank you.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything or anyone except Erick.

(Phineas's POV)

As Isabella and I walked outside,I noticed the sad look on Isabella's face, and thought, Does she really want us to become a couple? I mean it wouldn't really be bad if we did but could we? I shook the thought from my head for the time being and looked ahead of me. I noticed that Buford had returned with Baljeet, and Django had also arrived. As I looked around I didn't see Adyson anywhere, but I figured that she was on her way. I also saw Katie and/or Ginger had not arrived yet but from what I remember they wouldn't be here until later tonight.

"Yo, PHINEAS!" Erick yelled from atop the chromosome swapper, "What took ya? We're nearly done."The machine itself was covered by a metal protective coating so that it wouldn't disappear (we wouldn't want people to be stuck with other peoples chromosomes now would we), there was a control panel at the base that would be used to select which traits were to be swapped, and on both sides of the control panel were the rooms where you go into to swap chromosomes.

I walked over to Erick and Ferb who were working, and said,"I was having an important conversation with Isabella"

"What? She want's to tie the knot with you or something?"

Everyone laughed as my face turned red, "No! We just … it's personal okay?"

Erick rolled his eyes."Phineas, if I had a nickle for every time you and Isabella were alone doing something 'personal'" he did air quotes when he said the word personal, "then I'd probably be rich"

I glared at him. "You would not be rich."

"Okay, so I'd have over five dollars in the past year alone, that's still a lot." Erick retorted.

I shook my head, "By the way Erick, what did your uncle say about staying for the week?" Erick sat down and looked up. Our parents (Ferb and I) had gone to an antique convention, but couldn't take us with them because for some reason, it was age restricted. They were about to turn it down because they wouldn't be able to take us with them, but Ferb and I told them that we were old enough to take care of ourselves and that they should go to the convention. They agreed on the condition that Candace stay and watch over us. Isabella's mom was also away,but she wanted to stay in Danville, so we convinced our parent to let her stay with us as well as our other friends, who were also home alone for the 's parental guardian wasn't away, but hethought that it might be good for Erick to spend some extra time with his friends.

"He said it was okay … but to call if I need anything."

"Well that's good, so what needs finishing on the chromosome swapper?"

Erick was about to speak, but Ferb popped out and gave a thumbs up, "Apparently, Ferb finished while you were talking about your girlfriend."

I was about to yell at him, but Isabella spoke before I could, "I'm not his girlfriend, Erick" I heard her say in a monotone voice.

I almost cried at the sadness on her face, note to self: talk to Isabella the second we're done with this.I turned back to everyone else that was here, "so seeing as it done" I quickly stepped to the side and motioned in the direction of the device that we had been working on for the past week, "I give you the chromosome swapper."

There were a series of ooo's and aww's followed by a predicted retort by Buford, "So what does it do?"

"This, my friends, lets you swap traits with someone else by exchanging the chromosomes that go with that specific trait."

Baljeet raised his hand.

"Yes, Baljeet?" I asked.

He looked around nervously, "um … is the swap permanent?"

"Only if you want it to, the machine keeps track of who has your chromosomes and which ones they have. So does anyoneelse have any questions?" Everyone shook their head, "great then, who wants to go first?"

Baljeet raised his hand excitedly, "Oh, I want to be cool!"

There was an awkward silence until Isabella spoke, "Baljeet, you know that's not really an actual trait right?"

"Oh of course, but everyone knows that having unattached earlobes and a widow's peak makes you cool."

There was another uncomfortable silence, this time broken by Erick's cell phone, hepulled it out and looked at who was calling, "It's my uncle hold on." He opened it and walked over to the fence.

"Can it swap multiple traits at once?" Isabella asked in a hushed tone.

"There is a limit, but we put in a fail safe that won't allow the transfer of more chromosomesthan it can take."

"Okay then," Baljeet said as he walked over to one of the chambers, "Coolness here I come." Baljeet opened one of the chambers and stepped in, "So who is going to be the lucky donor?" Baljeet looked around but no one was eager to volunteer, "What, no one?"

"Um Baljeet?" Isabella said shyly, "Don't you already have a widow's peak?"

"I do?" Baljeet asked confused.

I sighed, "Baljeet, do you even know what a widow's peak is?" Baljeet shook his head, "Then why do you think cool people have one?"

"Buford told … oh."

It was at that point that Buford broke into laughter, "I can'tbelieve you actually fell for that." Baljeet took a few steps away from the chamber with a sad look on his face.

"Sorry for that Baljeet." I said as he walked back to the crowd, "So who wants to give this a try?" I looked around and saw that no one was openly volunteering.

It was at that moment that I heard a voice come from the gate, "Sorry I'm late." we all looked to see that Adyson had made it.

"Hi Adyson." a thought hit me, "I don't suppose you want to try our latest invention?"

She tilted her head to the side and looked curiously at me, "What is it?"

"It's a device that let's you trade traits with someone else."

Her eye's widened, "Really?"

"Yeah"

She looked around curiously, then walked over to Django and grabbed him by the wrist and started dragging him over to the machine.

"Adyson?" Django asked in a worried tone. She got up to one of the chambers then proceeded to push Django inside, "Adyson? What are you doing?"

She closed the door and walked over to the control pane., "So how's this thing work?"She asked as she started pressing buttons.

"All you have to do is select the trait you want to swap then you click on it and it's added to the list. When you have all the trait you want to swap, you go into the chamber, someone hits go, and then it starts."

"Cool." she hovered over the control panel and selected a few things, I tried to see what she was choosing but she hid it from me, "No peeking." she walked over to the chamber and got inside, "Hit start but don't look at the things I selected, I want it to be a surprise."

I shrugged and she shut the door to her chamber. I walked over to the panel and my hand went directly over the go, "You two ready?"

"Is this going to hurt?" Django asked from inside his chamber.

"I don't really know, that's why we made it so you fall unconscious during the process."

"Wait what?" Django asked. I hit the go button and the machine started up. "Moments later, there was a bright flash in both chambers, and each door quickly began to fog up."

Moments later,Adyson walked only difference was … well … nothing I could see, "Hey Adyson? What did you swap with Django?"

She just smiled at me, "Can't you tell?" I shook my head. Adyson frowned, "You can't?" she looked aver to everyone else, "You guys see it right?" no one spoke.

Moments later Django came stumbling out of his chamber looking exactly the same as he did when he got in, "What? … What happened?"

Everyone looked at Django confused, Isabella was the first to speak, "Django … do you feel different?"

He looked around for a bit, "I don't feel any different." He looked at Adyson who looked back at him, then he froze, "since when have you ..." his face looked shocked, "does anyone have a mirror?" Ferb pulled one out from behind his back and handed it to him, "Where did you … never mind." he looked in it and his eyes widened, "She took my blue eye color."

We all looked at her in surprise, "Why did you simply switch eye color?"

She sneered, "Because everyone likes a girl with blue eyes better than a girl with green eyes."

I gave her a confused look, "You had green eyes?"

(Erick's POV)

(Some time later)

People were starting to enjoy the chromosome swapper if only to see the laughs that they get after using it. Buford wanted to see what Baljeet would look like with his body structure, Irving wanted to see what it would be like to be tall, and there were some others, but most were immediately undone because they didn't want the change to be permanent. The only one that hasn't been undone was when Adyson and Django switched eye color.

"So who is next?" Baljeet asked after getting his nose back from Irving.

"Well ..." Django started, "The only people who haven't used this are Ferb, Erick, Isabella, and …" he looked over to Phineas, who was sitting by a tree with a tissue on his nose, "Phineas, hows your nose?"

"It would be better if your girlfriend didn't punch it."

"Just because I'm temporarily letting her keep my eye color doesn't mean she's my girlfriend."

I sighed, "We have a lot of that going around lately don't we?"

Phineas sighed, "So Erick, you want to go next?"

"Thanks but I would rather keep my chromosome's where they are."

"Okay then." Phineas looked over to Ferb, "Ferb, you've always wanted to have a second toe that's longer than your big toe right?" Everyone looked at Phineas like he was crazy, then they looked at Ferb who nodded then back to Phineas, "It's complicated."

I shook my head, "So Buford,you want to donate?"

Buford looked shocked, "How on earth did you-"

"Baljeet told me."

Buford looked over to Baljeet, "How did you-"

"Your girlfriend told me."

"Milly aint my-"

"WE KNOW!" everyone said simultaneously.

"Can I complete a single-"

"So are you going to donate the long toe or what?" Phineas interrupted. Buford sighed and walked over to the chamber. Ferb walked over to the other. Moments later Phineas started up the machine. After the process was finished,Ferb and Buford came out of their chambers and for some odd reason their shoes disappeared. Ferb lifted up his foot and examined his new toe."Well glad that that turned out well." Phineas said as he turned over to the crowd, "So who's next?"

"You and your girlfri-I mean Isabella are the only ones who have yet to try the chromosome swapper." I said.

"I would like to see Isabella with Phineas's red hair." Adyson said with an almost too big smile.

I sighed, She's only trying to compete with Isabella. I thought to myself.

Isabella smiled. "I think that would be cool."

Buford raised his hand, "Oh oh oh, could I have-"

"Buford, you already got something." Baljeet said.

"STOP INTERRUPTING ME!" there was silence from everyone else, "I would like to have Baljeet's smarts."

"Buford you can not simply get someones mind by trading-"

"Actually Baljeet." Phineas started, "The chromosome swapper will alter someone's mind set to prevent them from going into shock when they suddenly have someone else trait. One of the many fail safe's we installed when building this machine."

"Well … seeing as I don't want Buford's intelligence … or there lack of, could I refuse this request?"

Buford crossed his arms, "Fine, but I'll be giving you a wedge later."

Baljeet shivered and Phineas walked over to one of the chambers, "How about after this we get some lunch? Then we can continue with the swapping after." Everyone agreed, and Phineas stepped into his chamber. Isabella walked over to the other chamber and sighed.

(Isabella's POV)

Phineas forgot that we were supposed to talk about a relationship later,I thought as I opened the chamber door and stepped in,I'll probably have to remind him some time over the week when we're alone again.

(Erick's POV)

I walked over to the control panel and looked at it, "Phineas you forgot to set the machine to swap hair color."

"Sorry, could you set it, Erick?"

I sighed and started looking for the setting for hair color. Aftera few seconds, the screen froze, "It's not doing anything."

"Just give it a moment, it should come back."

I continued pressing the button to scroll over and it still didn't budge, "still not working"

"I said give it a minute"

The screen unfroze and I hit the button when the screen showed the right setting. Before I could start up the machine however Buford pushed me to the side and started hitting the panel, "Why won't this work?" Buford asked.

"Buford, I already set it to the right setting just start it." Buford only continued hitting it. I squeezed next to Buford and tried hitting the start button. After a moment I managed to get in and press it and the machine started up.

"See there?" Buford said, "All it needed was rash unthinking muscle."

I took a look at the screen, "Buford?" I asked in a worried tone, "While you were hitting this, did you by chance set it to swap two things instead of just one?"

Buford scratched his chin, "I think I might have accidentally set it to swap something before it swapped hair color."

Just then the machine started making a strange sound, "Oh that can't be good." I quickly ran over to Phineas's chamber, "Phineas what is that sound?" there was no response.

Adyson placed a hand on my shoulder, "Erick, this is the part where they black out."

I turned to Ferb, "what's that sound?" he sighed. I sighed and looked over to the machine, waiting for the process to be finished.

Everyone was caught off guard when we heard an explosion come from inside the machine. Moments later, the door to Isabella's chamber opened and she came tumbling out. The only differences were for one she had red hair and two … well, "Isabella?" Adyson said.

(Isabella's POV)

I grabbed on to the side of the machine for support, "What is-" I froze mid sentence hearing how deep my voice was. I quickly remembered that I was supposed to swap hair color with Phineas, so I grabbed onto my hair and tried to get a look at it. For some reason there wasn't enough to bring around to get a look at. I instead plucked one and looked at it, and sure enough, it was red, but I noticed something else as well. There was something strange on the back of my hand. I immediately took my other hand off the machine and pulled up my sleeve to find that I had a thin layer of hair on it (still red mind you). There was also something else that felt strange but seeing as this is a T rated story I can't mention it.A thought then occurredto me, I placed my hand on my chest and as I feared what I suspected was right, it was flat. I looked down and saw that I was still in my dress, but I was missing all my curves that I had only a minute ago. I decided to try talking again, "what-" I was again surprised by my voice, it was low pitched. "I'm … I'm ..." I froze in fear, "I'M A BOY?" I shouted at the top of my lungs.

Before I could fully grasp what happened, I heard a high-pitched, earsplitting scream come from the other chamber, "WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO ME?" I heard Phineas cry.

And that is it for the second chapter. I will try to update but it will be slow going due to school. Now let's get into the post chapter comments. Firstly who was surprised to see what just happened? Come on now, raise your hands. Well in other news I will be working on one of my other stories tomorrow (which will be posted on Friday) and hopefully get back to this story the day after. But until then I must procrastinate studying for a test. And funny fact: the document submitter (or whatever that is) doesn't recognize the word chromosome/
