Firstly I would like to say that I will be referring to Isabella as he and Phineas as her. I would also like to say that I'm pleased about how many people like this story. Other than that I don't have much to say so I will just cut right to the reviews.

Sabrina06: good to hear, I will try not to drop my laptop again.

NoIdea: My foot will be fine, so don't worry about it.

Dallimater: I hope it's amusing.

PianoMan5: Sorry about the whole edit thing, when I copy and past it from word it re-italicizes those parts and I have to keep an eye out for them.

Rainbow Phinny: Yes there will be fun.

14AmyChan: Ya I kinda made it obvious, but I intended to do that so no harm done.

Sixletlover11: Sorry the updates take so long, I'm usually faster with the stories but school is keeping me occupied.

D. : I kinda made it obvious didn't I? Oh well, here is the next chapter.

Veebeejustte: After you said this I looked up all the stories you were talking about. I think I found 4 or 5 but from what I can tell this story will be different from them.

Pregnantnun227: Yes, yes they will.

Guest: You will have to read and find out.

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

(Erick's POV)

I watched as Isabella frantically paced around trying to fully grasp what happened."What just happened?" he asked.

I sighed. "Well, it appears that you have been turned into a boy, and from what we just heard, Phineas has been turned into a girl."

He glared at me. "I can see that, thank you very much, now will you change us back?"

Baljeet raised a finger. "I would like to point out that there was a very strange sound coming from the machine and-"

"I DON'T CARE!" Isabella Interrupted, "Just change us back."

I shook my head and pointed to the room Isabella came out of.

"Whatever, just get in the chamber, and I'll take care of everything." Isabella leered at me for a moment, then walked into the chamber. I walked over to the control panel and started setting the machine to switch their genders back, but when I hit the start button, an error message popped up on the screen.

"Well that can't be good," I muttered.

"What's wrong?" Phineas asked from within her chamber.

I sighed. "Apparently there's something wrong with the machine."

"What's the problem?!" Isabella shouted from his chamber.

"It says that there's a problem with the transfer system."

"Well fix it then."

"Okay, okay." I walked over to the side of the chromosome swapper and climbed up to the top. "Ferb, you coming?" Ferb followed me to the top, then we opened the hatch to got a look at the transfer system.

"That's not good." Ferb commented, his eyes widening.

"What's wrong?" Phineas asked.

"Apparently the main transfer module is fried."

"How did it get fried?"

"I'm guessing that it was overloaded." I answered.

"How did it overload? We only swapped two traits, and if too many traits were selected, it wouldn't have allowed the transfer."

I thought to myself for a moment. "Did you set the fail-safe for automatic, or did you do the calculations yourself?" I asked.

"I set them myself, it seemed safer and faster."

"Did you remember that the chromosome for gender is an allosome and not an autosome?"

"What's that mean?" Isabella asked.

"It means that it would put more strain on the main transfer module."

There was silence for a moment before Phineas finally spoke.

"Okay, so I forgot to set it for allosomes, but I didn't think that anyone would want to actually swap genders."

"No one did," Isabella commented.

"Yeah, but it still should have been able to handle the transfer, even if just barely. Why did it overload?"

"You remember that you transferred hair color too, right?" When Phineas didn't respond, I continued. "I'm guessing that it overloaded during the transfer of hair color."

"But the hair color was supposed to be first wasn't it?"

"I'm guessing that Buford must have switched the order when he was hitting it. You should look on the bright side, would you rather have a slight mix of hair color or gender?" When there was more silence I did a little victory dance. Ferb looked at me and shook his head. "Well, in any case, all we have to do is replace the main transfer module and change you back."

"We had to order that part from a warehouse." Ferb said with a frown.

"How long was delivery?" I asked as I climbed down from the chromosome swapper.

Ferb looked to the side. "A little under a week," he answered.

"What?!" Isabella shouted as he came marching out of the chamber, "You mean to tell me that I'll be stuck like this for a week?"

"Longer if we don't order it before it closes."

"Well couldn't Phineas and Ferb just fix it or build a new one?"

I looked over to Ferb who was on top of the chromosome swapper, "It would take a month for us to properly construct the mechanism and properly calibrate the seventy five different parts that make it safe to use."

There was silence. "So … I'm stuck … as a boy … for an entire week?"

"Well look on the bright side, at least you will be turned back before your parents notice, right Isabella?" He looked at me unamused. "I'm sorry, but I just can't call you Isabella any more, can we come up with a different name for the time being?"

"What's wrong with my name?"

"It's a girl's name," Buford said as he walked over, "And you aint a girl no more."

Baljeet raised a hand. "I have to agree with Buford on this one."

"Same here." Django added. Even Adyson nodded to the comment.

"Fine then!" Isabella screamed, "What's the masculine version of my name?"

Irving took a few steps forward, "Well Isabella is short for Elizabeth, so there is no masculine version of it, but Ivan works fine."

I looked over to Isabella and saw shivers go down his spine, "I would prefer something a little more cool … did I just say cool?"

"Guys?" Phineas said from inside her chamber, "Remember me? I'm still in a predicament here."

"Why don't you come out?" Buford asked.

"Because my shirt is torn, and my pants wont stay up."

There was an awkward moment as some people began to stare at Phineas's chamber, "Why does he care?" Buford asked, "I mean he's still the same Phineas that we've known, right?"

Ferb hopped down from on top of the machine, "Well like we said, their mindsets should change too, but looking at the damage caused to the rest of the machine, it might take anywhere between a half hour and five hours for the change to be complete."

"Wait wait wait, you mean that I'm going to start acting like a boy? And Phineas like a girl?"

"What do you mean going to?" Buford mocked, "You already act like a boy all the time."

Isabella turned and glared at Buford, "You want a piece of me, tough guy?"

Isabella froze and looked at the dress he was still wearing, "This is going to feel really embarrassing soon, isn't it?"

I sighed, "Alright then, lets get them some proper clothes, and then we can focus on names."

Ferb pulled out his phone and started dialing, "I'm going to order the part before they close."

Just then, we heard a car's horn.

"I'm back." Candace said from the driveway.

I looked over to the chamber that held Phineas. From the sound of it, I could tell she was shaking.

"Oh this is so not good." She said worriedly.


I'm sorry that this chapter is short and all but I felt that this was a good point to stop it. I left out a tray of frosted sugar cookies so help yourself while I go do school work.
