Hi, I'm back, I know I've been gone for I don't care to look up how long but I'm back with the next chapter of this story. Also, remember way back when, when I said I would be picking up another fandome? Well … I've put that on a long hold … or … I've just changed the fandome I'm picking up to something else … which I will keep secret until I actually write the story which has been plaguing me like … well … like it has. Anyway, I've already gave a hint to what it is if people actually read my authors notes in all my stories but I digress, to the reviews.

TAGirlie: Thank you, I'm glad that I still have some fans.

Dreadwing216: Well I'm no expert but I've heard that it can be quite uncomfortable.

Guest: Well I'm always happy to see a new reviewer so welcome aboard.

Phinbella56: Don't worry, I'm not quitting this story.

Addison: Well sorry, but this chapter isn't much to anticipate.

(Isabella's POV)

(A few days later)

It had been three days since Phineas began my menstrual cycle, and the part required for us to switch back was due to come in in another week. That meant I was going to be back in my own body after Phineas had finished my period; I was admittedly happy about that. Today however, was the day that Phineas and Ferb finally unveil their virtual video game. According to Ferb, we would no longer be separating our minds from our bodies, so there was no chance that we would get stuck in someone else's body again. "All right, so you're sure that you have everything set up?" Phineas asked as Ferb sat at the control panel rolling his eyes. "Yes Phineas, for the millionth time, everything's ready, I even have a quest ready for when everyone gets here."

"Good." Phineas replied. "And we'll be able to be our own characters when we enter?"

Ferb shook his head. "No, it saves data based on whoever's body it is so you will be using Isabella's character."

"Oh come on!" Phineas exclaimed. "Can't you just switch it for this one go?"

Ferb shook his head again. "You're going to have to put up with it for now, you can play your own character when you switch back to your own body."

Phineas turned around and pouted, while I smiled slightly. "Well how hard is it to play as each other's characters? I mean we've been living in each other's bodies for a while, it shouldn't be too difficult."

"You say that now, but I don't think you can handle playing a paladin character; at the moment."

"Uh, excuse me but who managed to get more goblin kills? Oh, that's right, me!" I said cheerfully.

Phineas leered at me for a moment, then turned back to Ferb. "Speaking of which, have you made any domains yet?"

"Nothing yet, sorry."

"Oh well, so what's this quest about anyway?"

"I'll tell you when everyone is in the game." Ferb turned back around and began typing on the console. It wasn't long before Erick walked through the gate, followed by Buford and Baljeet.

"So, is this everyone?" Phineas asked.

"I think so." Erick replied. "Django said something about a finalist's contest the he had to go to seeing as his piece, that he doesn't remember entering, won."

"Gee, I wonder how that happened." I whispered to Phineas.

"Anyway." Ferb began. "You are all here today to help us test our latest invention. It allows someone to literally enter a fantasy adventure."

"That's not why I'm here." Buford began. "Only reason I'm here, is because I was told I could swing an axe at things."

"You will get to do that later." I responded, a little annoyed.

"Yeah, yeah, just tell me when we get to the interesting part."

Ferb leered then walked back to the control panel. "Each of you will be sitting in one of the reclining chairs while wearing a control helmet. While you have it on, you will enter into a sort of sleep. While in this sleep, you will enter the digital universe. Now, while in this universe, you will be still be in your own bodies; however you will simply be in control of your virtual self."

"Question." Buford said as he raised his hand. "How come you don't have us just enter it normally?"

"Because there may be a few problems leaving, if you disconnect yourself from your body." Erick answered as he looked at Phineas and myself. "And we wouldn't want to come back in the wrong bodies now would we?"

I resisted the urge to punch Erick square in the face and looked over to Ferb. "Are there any other questions?" Ferb asked.

Everyone was either silent or shook their head. "All right then, everyone take a seat and we will get started."

(Phineas's POV)

(Moments later)

I instantly materialized in the world as Isabella's character; seeing as Isabella and I had already created our characters ahead of time. When I finally finished materializing, I noticed that Isabella wasn't around yet. I looked around for a moment, then looked up. "Hey Ferb, Where's Isa- … I mean … where's Phineas." I quickly corrected in case Buford or Baljeet had materialized near me during the conversation.

"There was a slight incident with the location program, nothing major but 'Phineas' materialized a ways away. You have a bit of a walk ahead of you."

I sighed and let my head drop. As I opened my eyes, I noticed something that I had somehow forgotten; the outfit that Isabella had on in this world. I had a much better view of her curves from the angle I now had, and the red dress only made my heart race faster. As if possessed, my hands moved to her breasts for a few moments and I began to take deeper and deeper breathes and then they slowly moved down her sides until I reached her hips. As soon as I got my senses back I pulled her cloak around her body and looked up. "Ferb, couldn't you have given me something less … revealing?"

"Sorry Isabella but you're stuck with what you equipped yourself with beforehand."

I looked back down at the cloak, and my mind began to wander back to our previous venture into this realm. I began to remember how she dealt with the goblins with ease as I just stood there, in shock; and how she was into the game and amazing at almost everything. "Damn." I whispered, as I dropped to my knees. "This can't happen, I can't fall for her; it will ruin our friendship." As I tried to suppress my emotions once again, I heard people begin to materialize. I immediately got back on my feet and looked around. It turned out to be Erick, who was in a sleeveless long gray robe and there was a metal wristband around his upper arm. "Erick." I exclaimed in surprise. "What are you? A wizard?"

Erick leered. "Do I look like I'm carrying a spell book?"

"Sorry." I said as I grabed my head in pain. I took a quick look at him and not only didn't he have a spell book on him but no backpack or any other compartments to hold a twenty pound book. "So are you a warlock?"

"Wrong again." He responded. "No extradimensional forces to form a pact with means no powers for a warlock and I wouldn't go down that path anyway."

I took another look. "So that means you're a bard then?"

"Are you even trying anymore?" He asked.

I thought to myself for a moment before realizing just what Erick was. "Oh, I should have seen it before, you're a monk."

He hit me over the head with his staff. "I'm a sorcerer!" He snapped. "How did you not get that?"

I grasped my head in pain. "I don't know, I just didn't."

Erick rolled his eyes, placed his staff back on his back, and looked around. "So … where's everyone else?"

I shrugged. "Well … Phineas materialized far away from us and I don't know where Buford and Baljeet are."

"You mean Isabella?" Erick asked.

"Excuse me?" I said as I looked at him, confused.

"You mean Isabella materialized far away from us."

I looked around nervously. "Erick, be quiet, I don't want Buford and Baljeet knowing that I'm really Phineas in Isabella's body."

"Buford obviously picked a barbarian and would have materialized by now, probably somewhere far away."

"And Baljeet?" I asked.

Erick looked around for a moment. "He would probably not materialize nearby when he did … but the bottom line is, we need to get looking for them."

Erick immediately started walking, and I followed. "So where do you think we'll find them?" I asked.

"No idea." Erick responded. "But we're bound to bump into them sooner or later."

We continued walking for some time, as we walked I decided to ask Erick a question. "Hey Erick … you know about my feelings for Isabella, right?"

"I already told you I'm not going to help you suppress them." Erick quickly responded.

"I know, I know." I said, as I looked to the side. "But … this is important."

"How so?" He asked as he looked at me.

"Well …" I looked in front of me and took a deep breath. "If I can't suppress my feelings for her then I will lose her as a friend … and it's just gotten worse. I don't know what to do about it."

Erick sighed. "Look Phineas, I don't know the first thing about suppressing emotions. If that's how you want to deal with this, then you will have to talk to someone else."

"Fine." I said with a pout. "I guess I'll just have to find someone who's good at suppressing their most basic emotions."

Just then, there was a loud explosion that came from just over the next hill. "I'll give you one guess." Erick said as he started walking over.

I followed and soon enough, I saw both Baljeet and Buford coughing due to the smoke from the explosion. Baljeet was dressed as a generic wizard, with a spell book and everything, while Buford had thick leather armor that looked like it had already seen a few battles, no shoes, and an animal skull on his head. "Guys!" I called as I ran over. "What happened?"

Buford walked out of the smoke waving away some of it as he went. "Nerd boy here wanted to send a signal flare so that you guys could find us but instead he created an explosion."

"It worked." Baljeet pleaded.

"Hardly." Erick said as he examined the small crater. "My guess is everything within a half mile radius would have seen a signal flare, but that smoke didn't cover as much distance."

"Oh, you think that you are a better wizard than I am?" Baljeet accused.

"No." Erick responded. "I'm a sorcerer, the difference being that I'm innately better than you."

"Is that a challenge?" Baljeet demanded as he pulled out his wand.

Erick began looking around as did Buford. "We're not alone." Buford said, as he pulled out his axe.

"Do you think it is Phineas?" Baljeet inquired.

"Not unless he found a way to multiply himself." Erick dropped his voice as he readied his staff. "I count … about … seven."

"Well I count twelve." Buford said as he stood back-to-back with Erick.

I looked around in confusion, not seeing anything. "What are you guys looking at?"

"It's not what we're looking at." Erick responded. "It's coming from beneath us."

Suddenly, I felt the ground shake slightly as creatures, which looked like goblins, only bigger and red emerged from the ground. "Hobgoblins!" I shouted as I reached for my sword and shield only to remember that I'm in Isabella's body thus have no sword and shield.

As I was staring at the hobgoblins approaching me, a wall of fire surrounded us. I quickly looked around to see that it was Erick's doing. "Twelve holes and an unknown number of hobgoblins coming out of each, I say we make a tactical retreat."

"We can handle these guys!" Buford exclaimed. "Not to mention that we're surrounded!"

"I'll buy that second one." Erick said as his wall of fire began to die down. "But we need to stay focused on finding Phineas."

Buford grunted and charged the hobgoblins that were starting to emerge through the dead wall of fire. With one swing he decapitated two of them and turned back to Erick. "Okay, so maybe we should find Phineas and make sure that the ugly triangle isn't in more trouble than he can handle; but we will need to clear a path first." Buford said as he killed two more and injured another.

"Fine." Erick said as he began hurtling fireballs at a few, engulfing them in flame, and making them run around screaming.

Baljeet started casting lighting at some of them; surprisingly it only dropped one and made the others angry. "I could use some help here!" Baljeet exclaimed.

I quickly began looking for Isabella's daggers only to find that she had them on a bandolier that crossed over her breasts. "Damn it." I whispered as I pulled one out and threw it at one of the hobgoblins only to miss it completely. I immediately pulled out two more and threw them only to have the second one make contact and it only grazed a hobgoblin's side. "Forget these." I said as I reached for Isabella's sword, which was sheathed at her side. I immediately slashed at a few hobgoblins but they skillfully dodged. When I finally did land a hit, my short sword became stuck in the hobgoblin, and I was unable to yank it out. As I tried however, another hobgoblin came around the back and slashed at my side, causing me to reel back in pain.

Just as it was about to finish me off however, Buford came in and lopped its head off. "All right, tactical retreat it is." Buford picked me up and threw me over his shoulder and began to run. Everyone else followed. When we were safely away from the hobgoblins, Buford came to a stop and turned around. "Why were we just attacked by tunneling hobgoblins?" Buford demanded.

"Um, could you put me down?" I asked.

Buford looked up at me, sighed, and then put me down. "You cost us the fight girly." Buford turned back to everyone else. "I knew it was a bad idea to bring a girl along with us."

"Well excuse me Buford, but I was a little unprepared for a hobgoblin ambush." I defended.

Buford leered at me. "Well excuse me princess." He retorted. "Let's find Dinnerbell and find out why these hobgoblins just attacked us."

As we walked, Buford stopped and put his ear to the ground. "What is it Buford?" Baljeet inquired.

Buford was silent for a moment before responding. "There's a fight going on nearby."

All of us quickly looked around and Erick ran up the nearest hill to take a look around. " I have found Phineas!" Baljeet shouted. We all ran to Baljeet's location to find Isabella (or Isabella in my body) trying to run away from a small pack of hobgoblins. Buford charged in killing two instantly, while Erick picked off the other two from afar with fireballs. As we ran in, we found Isabella on her back severely wounded from the fight. Erick quickly pulled out a healing kit and went to work on her wounds.

"Hey guys." Isabella said as she tried to move.

"Don't move Phineas." Erick said. "You've been severely wounded, it will be a while before you can fight again."

"I gotta say Phineas." Buford began. "You did a horrible job on the landscaping, it's just a bunch of hills."

Isabella just stared at him; at a loss for words. "Well … can we talk about this later? I ran into a hobgoblin stronghold and … yeah, that happened."

"Must be why they are after us." Baljeet said.

"I think that's our quest." I said as everyone looked at me. "We probably have to do something about that stronghold."

Erick looked to me, then to Isabella. "Can you tell us where the stronghold is located?"

"I think I can." Isabella responded.

(Phineas's POV)

(A short time later)

Isabella had led us to the hobgoblin stronghold at the edge of the grassland. The stronghold itself looked more like an encampment; but was well guarded nonetheless. "So how do we take care of it?" I asked.

Erick looked at it for a moment, then sighed. "I'm going to need to get closer to get a good look at it."

"Okay then." Isabella said as she got to her feet. "Let's be careful though, I've been here once before, and they saw me coming a mile away."

"All right then" Erick helped Isabella up and her, Erick, and Baljeet all made their way to a better vantage point.

As I followed, I felt someone grab my cloak and pull me back. When I turned around I saw that it was Buford and he had his arms crossed. "I don't think you should join us in the assault." He said.

"Excuse me?" I retorted. "I'll have you know that I am rather good at sneaking around."

"Is that so, Phineas?" Buford asked, sending me back in shock.

I quickly regained my composure and decided to play dumb. "Buford … I'm Isabella … can't you see that?" I asked as I motioned to my body.

"Don't play dumb with me, Dinnerbell. First, you when we were attacked, you reached for a sword and shield; even though you were an assassin. Second, and this one surprised even me, you made no comment when I insulted Phineas's head."

"We were in the middle of a fight." I defended. "And that wasn't nice."

"Yeah well, Isabella's not so nice, she would have turned around and stuck a knife in my back; even though we were in a fight."

"Then why did you say it?" I asked.

"To test my theory. Third, Isabella is much better at fighting than you are; even though she's a girl. So that brings us to my last point, your defensive statement to when I insulted girls was pathetic. Isabella would have started a war to defend herself and wouldn't have needed defending in the first place."

I stood there for a moment, in shock, before collapsing to my knees. "Oh please don't tell anyone, please don't tell! I will never hear the end of it if everyone finds out that I swapped bodies with Isabella."

"Then stay back, and don't get in my way."

"But I can fight." I pleaded. "I wasn't prepared to fight as an assassin or fight in Isabella's body. I'm sure the same holds true for Isabella."

"I still don't believe you."

"It's true!" I pleaded. "I got the sneaking portion of the 'Ninja Patch' not too long ago; so I can do this. Besides, I've almost got the hang of being Isabella." I tried to stand up only to lose my balance and fall backwards.

Buford crossed his arms and Shook his head. "Fine. But if you get in the way, then I will leave you to your fate."

"Okay." I said, a little too happily. Buford began walking off to join the others when I realized something. "Oh, Buford wait." I said causing him to stop and turn around. "Can you … help me with a little issue I've been having?"

"How would I be able to help you with a girl issue?" He asked a little nervously.

"It's not a girl issue." I responded. "Thing is …" I looked around. "I've … been developing feelings for Isabella for a very, VERY long time. I've been trying to suppress them because they could ruin my friendship with her, so I need to suppress them before they become permanent."

"And you think I know how to suppress love?" He asked. I nodded with a smile on my face that seemed to scare him a little. Buford sighed. "Well Phineas … I got very bad news for you … you fell in love with Isabella."

"What does that have to do with anything?" I asked.

"Well you see, Isabella is one of the hottest girls in all of Danville."

"I noticed." I said as I motioned to her body.

"And on top of that, she's the best at just about everything she does." Buford crossed his arms. "And you know that it's hard for me to admit that a girl could even come close to being as good as me."

"I noticed." I said as I leered at him.

"Which means that falling in love with her is an irreversible process. You will not get over her for a very long time."

I fell to my knees again. "But … but … there has to be a way … I can't lose what little I have for her … there … there has to be some way."

"You were past the point of no return before you ended up in her body. Now you're so far past that line, you can't even see it anymore."

I began to cry, for a moment, before Buford pulled me up. "You can deal with your problems after we deal with this camp. Or do you want the others to become suspicious?"

I sighed and nodded. "Let's get going."

Oh … my … gosh … let me start by thanking Sabrina06 once again for being me beta and putting up with every spelling error in this (and every) chapter. I'm really tired now so I'm going to go do homework. See you all later.
