Well there I was, innocently trying to overcome writers block for my SVTFOE fic when I open go back a few folders and find the already finished final three chapters of this story waving at me, trying to remind me that I have other things to do, like study for that final that's coming up or make sure I have everything ready for graduation. But seeing as procrastination is what I do best I just sighed and said, "Fine, I'll finish with the revisions for the last three chapters then post that, and later tonight when I'm done studying I'll work on the other P&F story." So that's how my day is going now let's hit those reviews.
Dreadwing216: I'm glad you like my stories.
YFT Renee: I think I've already answered that one but yes, that is it.
MYimaginationForyou: It is still within the borders of the rating I gave this story.
a phan: I know what you mean and I'm going to make this answer as simple as possible so that no one can misinterpret it and think otherwise, no.
TAGirlie: Probably.

(Isabella's POV)
(The next day)
Ferb and I were sitting underneath his tree waiting for Phineas to arrive, although I had grown accustomed to being in Phineas's body, I was still nowhere near his ability to invent and think up ideas. "What do you think is taking him so long?" I asked.
"Not sure." Ferb responded. "Maybe you got him a little too interested yesterday, when you two were alone in the pool."
I felt a shiver go down my spine. "What did you hear?"
"Nothing." Ferb said as he turned the page of his book. "But the two of you alone in each other's bodies in the pool? I'm willing to bet that you tried something."
"That's none of your business, Ferb." I said as I crossed my arms. "And why do you keep pestering me about this anyway?"
"Because I think you should just tell Phineas." He said, after turning another page.
I sighed and shook my head. "If I tell Phineas then there's a chance that he might not feel the same way, then it will ruin our friendship."
"It's not about that anymore." He said as he closed his book. "Phineas deserves to know, he deserves the truth that everyone else in Danville is keeping from him."
"I … I just can't okay?" I pointed out. "You promised you wouldn't tell him and I have no plans on telling him; so stop talking about it."
"I wish I never made that promise." Ferb said as he went back to reading his book.
As I sighed I heard the gate open and Phineas walked in. "Hey guys, What'cha'doing?
"Phineas, that's my line" I said playfully.
"Well, seeing as I'm currently Isabella I thought that it would be all right if I borrowed it." He said as he placed his hands behind his back and leaned to one side smiling.
"You're only me until we switch back." I responded. "Speaking of which, when are those parts going to come in?"
"Yeah, not that I mind being in such an attractive body, but when can I return to my much more masculine self?" Phineas asked.
"The parts should be in tomorrow, so you two should be back to normal by then." Ferb said as he put down his book. "Unless you two want to stay as you are for a while longer."
"Tempting, but I'll pass." Phineas responded.
"Same here, I would like to return to my body as soon as possible." I added.
"All right then." Ferb finished. "Anyway, we should probably get going. Everyone else is waiting for us at the mall."
"Wait … what?" I asked. "I don't remember this."
"I told you this morning." Ferb said as he looked at me. "Buford, Baljeet, Erick, and Django are going to meet us at the mall so that we can all hang out."
"Why don't I remember this?" I asked again.
"Can I come?" Phineas asked. "There's not much else for me to do today."
"What about the Fireside Girls?" I asked.
"Nearest I can tell, they're all busy." Phineas responded.
I looked over at Ferb who shrugged and I sighed. "I don't see why not."
"YEAH!"
(Phineas's POV)
(At the mall food court)
When we arrived at the food court we found that Buford, Baljeet and Erick had already arrived and were waiting for us. "Hey guys." I shouted as I ran up.
"Oh great." Buford said as he rolled his eyes. "Dinnerbell brought girly. And here I was thinking that we could go without a girl yammering on about hair products and dresses."
"I don't yammer Buford." I retorted.
"And here I was thinking we could go five seconds without an argument breaking out." Erick said as he leaned back in his chair.
"I see you waited for us." Ferb said as he took a seat.
"And we're still waiting for Django." Erick responded. "He's going to be a little held up."
"Waiting?" Isabella asked. "What exactly are we planning on doing today aside from hanging out?"
"Go karts." Erick said with a smile.
"And laser tag." Buford added. "I'm going to come out on top this time."
Baljeet sighed. "Any way." He began. "I heard that Django managed to win the contest that he does not remember entering."
"Yeah, I head that too." Erick added. "Seems he underestimated his own work."
"Is that why he's late?" I asked.
"No, he said it was something else but he would not tell us what." Baljeet answered.
"Sorry I'm late." Django said as he ran up to us. "Had some stuff to take care of but-"
"Enough talking already." Buford interrupted. "Django's here so let's go to the track."
"Track?" Isabella asked.
"Go kart track." I answered. "They have one in this mall."
We all got up and started walking. "I didn't know that there was a go kart course in this mall." Isabella said as she followed.
When we arrived at the track, Ferb walked up to the counter as the rest of us looked at the track. It wasn't very impressive, aside from being a go kart track. It had six bends, but other than that there wasn't much to it. First thing I do when I get back into my body is make a track that puts this one to shame. I thought to myself.
When Ferb was done checking us in, we were all directed to where the go karts were, given the rules, and each of us chose a kart.
"I call the big one." Buford said as he took the gray one in the front.
"Buford, they are all the same size." Baljeet added as he took the blue one that was next to Buford.
I looked around quickly to find that Django had taken a brown go kart and that Erick and Ferb were staring each other down over a green one. As I looked around some more, I noticed that there was a purple, orange, and pink go kart remaining. I immediately made my way over to the orange one only to be stopped when Isabella got in my way and took it. "Hey, I wanted that one."
"You sure?" She asked as she gestured at me.
I looked down remembering that I was currently Isabella and knowing that Isabella would go for the pink kart. "This defiantly feels weird." I said as I took the pink cart.
Ferb eventually caved and took the purple and the crew did a final check. When the pit crew finished, they left the track, and the countdown began. I could feel the excitement as they counted backwards from ten and when they reached zero, all of us sped off.
Buford managed to get the lead right off the bat, but Erick was close behind. Ferb was closing in on Baljeet who was just behind Erick, while Isabella, Django, and myself followed. After the first bend, Erick managed to catch up with Buford and Ferb managed to overtake Baljeet; who was now in seventh place while Isabella began closing in on third. By the time Buford got to the third bend, Erick managed to overtake him and Django and I were fighting for fifth. When the fourth bend came around, Erick had slowed down, allowing Buford to take first place; only to hit the wall because he wasn't able to turn in time for the fifth bend, sending him into last. At the last bend, Erick had pulled so far ahead that Ferb didn't stand a chance of catching up before the end of the first lap, while Isabella and myself were now fighting for third with Django right on our tail. After the first bend of the second lap, Buford had caught up to Isabella and myself along with Django sending us into a four way fight for third place which would not see a conclusion until the fourth bend of the third lap. Erick had already finished and Ferb was far ahead so at the moment it was just a fight for third place. The fourth and fifth bend formed an S turn which I managed to go through going as straight as possible, Isabella who tried to do what I did scraped the side of the railing causing her to slow down significantly. Buford had to swerve to avoid crashing into Isabella costing him his opportunity and Django didn't stand a chance getting past the two of them letting me take third.
When everyone got back to the pit, I got out of my kart and threw both of my hands into the air. "All right, who's the best?" I asked in a mocking tone.
"That would be me Isabella." Erick responded with a smirk.
"You only beat me because Dinnerbell got in my way, girly." Buford hissed.
"Well if that's the case then why don't you prove it?" Isabella asked.
"All right then." Buford said as he clenched his fists. "Next race I'm gonna wipe the floor with ya."
"Next race?" Isabella asked.
"Yeah, we've got three races." Erick answered.
" All right then." I said, as I buckled in. "Let's get this started.
The next two races ended pretty much the same, Erick taking first, Ferb taking second, and me taking third making a mocking pose after every race.
"I'm done with this for today." Buford said as we got out and the next group got in. "Let's just go to the laser tag already."
"You're just upset because you got beaten by a GIRL!" I said as I struck a mocking pose.
Buford crossed his arms and leered at me. "You know 'Isabella' you shouldn't be bragging before we get to laser tag." He said putting emphasis on the 'Isabella.'
"Oh … right." I said nervously. "Speaking of which, where is the laser tag arena?"
"Right here." Erick said as we reached our destination.
We walked into the arena entrance and like before, Ferb walked up to the counter while the rest of us scoped out the gear. "So what are the teams going to be?" Buford asked.
"Not sure." Django responded. "Seeing as we have seven we can't make even teams."
"There are no teams." Ferb said as he walked over from the counter. "We're going to do every man-" He paused and looked over to me. "Or woman for themselves."
I leered at him but shook it off. I didn't want to start an argument over something so pointless. Instead I grabbed a vest and gun and made my way over to where we got our gear turned on. Once everyone was ready, our equipment was activated and the man began going over the rules. "All right." He began. "You will get points every time you hit someone and you will lose points every time you are hit. The more points your target has, the more points you get but you will always lose the same amount of points when you get hit. When you are hit your equipment will lock up and you won't be able to be hit or fire for ten seconds. Now, is everyone ready?" We all nodded and we were given a minute to disperse into the maze before we could start.
(Isabella's POV)
(A short time later)
I was knee deep in the maze turning around constantly trying to avoid an ambush. I was on the hunt for Baljeet for a while until I eventually found that I needed to find someone with more points. I found Erick and went after him for a bit only for him to turn the hunt around on me and get multiple shots on me. I eventually lost him and was now hunting for new prey. As I rounded a corner I heard footsteps and pressed myself against the wall, ready to ambush whoever it was that was around the corner. When I took a quick look, I saw that it was Django and he was facing me with his hands up. "Please don't shoot Phineas." He pleaded. "I need your assistance."
I came out from around the corner and pointed my gun at him. "Why should I believe you?"
"I'm being hunted by Buford." I immediately put my gun down and nodded. "I've tried to pin him down but he keeps sneaking up behind me. I need someone to watch my back so that he can't get the jump on me."
I looked to the side for a moment then nodded again. We both stood back to back and were now slowly moving around the maze waiting and looking for Buford. "Guess I'm lucky you found me. I could use some payback against Buford for beating me in the kart race earlier."
"Nothing to do with luck Phineas." Django responded. "I just knew I could trust you."
"How do you figure?" I asked as I quickly turned as I heard a sound. "Keep talking." I whispered. "He will think he has us by surprise."
Django nodded. "Well, you remember back when I was in that depressed state?"
I thought back and sure enough I remember what Django was talking about but Phineas was the one who talked to him and he refused to tell me anything. "Yeah I remember. You kept to yourself and didn't want to talk to anyone." I clenched my teeth and tried to think up an excuse for why I didn't know anything about it. "For the life of me I can't remember why though."
"Seriously?" He asked. "It was because Adyson got herself a boyfriend."
I looked back at him and he looked back at me and I fought to hold back a laugh. Adyson's going to be happy. I thought. After a few seconds I couldn't hold back anymore and let out a giggle.
He turned around and laughed. "You just wanted me to admit it again didn't you?"
I laughed a bit then turned back to face my position. "Well yeah, I just couldn't believe how much you actually loved Adyson."
"Your one to talk." He said as he turned back around. "After I told you about Adyson you just went on and on about how obsessed you were with Isabella."
I froze as a cold sensation ran through me. After I processed what I just heard I looked back at Django and tried to get confirmation. "I wouldn't say obsessed." I pleaded trying to get more out of him.
"Oh really?" He asked. "So calling her the most beautiful and perfect being to ever touch this earth doesn't count as obsessed?"
I turned around more and looked at him incredulously. "I said that?"
Django laughed. "No, but I bet you think it."
I let out a laugh and turned back around. "Oh come on Django, she's … she's just a friend."
He gave me the stink eye. "Phineas, your exact words were, and I quote, 'I love her and it stings that I can't be with her.' End quote."
I froze again as my gun slowly fell. Phineas … loves me? I thought to myself. Just then, I heard movement that snapped me to attention. I turned and saw Buford running away and began firing. "Buford spotted." I said causing Django to turn and shoot with me.
(Buford's POV)
I began running as soon as I finished hearing what Django was telling Isabella who he didn't know was in Phineas's body. I eventually managed to lose them after sustaining a few hits from both of them which cost me a number of points. "Damn." I said while I stopped to catch my breath. "Phineas isn't going to like this."
And now we approach the finish line of this great story while I try to overcome writers block.
