Swap (A Phineas and Ferb Fanfic)

Chapter 11: Busted... Again?

Hi guys!

Happy new year!

And as a new year gift, here's another chapter!



-----------------



RECAP:



"Oh Jennifer-"

"Jennifer?!" Came a foreign voice, disbelief evident in the tone.

We turned around to see the voice belonged to Isabella.





***************




"Oh hi Isabella! How's everything going?" I asked nervously, hopefully she'll forget if we distract her with her dream come true reality.


"What do you mean Jennifer, Stacey?" She asked, completely ignoring my question.


Ok maybe she won't get distracted by her reality.


"I um, uh-"

"We were talking about our friend Jennifer, you know the one with brown hair, yellow shirt, who's all about peace and stuff?" I cut off Stacey from blowing our cover.

I'd got good at lying ever since I came to Danville. I'm not so sure if it's such a good quality to possess though...


"Her name's Jenny."


Or maybe not....


"Yeah... but we sometimes call her Jennifer."

"It's an inside joke" Stacey added.


Isabella gave us a skeptical look, still not believing us.


"So what did you want to talk about Isabella?" I tried changing the subject again.


Isabella sighed. "I came to thank you for helping me with Phineas. today was a dream come true."


"Aww, your welcome! I'm glad I could help!"


She smiled and nodded before leaving.


When she was out of ear-shot I turned towards Stacey.


"Boy that was close."



"Tell me about it, I'll try to be careful next time."


I nodded as we went inside.


"So now what?" Stacey asked, as soon as we were seated in the living room.

"I don't know. I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders you know?"

Stacey nodded.



"Hi girls, what are you up to?" Linda asked as she entered with a basket of laundry.


"Nothing much." I replied.


"Well alright, I'll be in the basement if you need me."


"Ok" I called after her, since she was already gone.


I turned towards Stacey.


"You know Jennifer, you should really bust Phineas and Ferb." she said.

I raised an eyebrow at her questioningly.

What's the point anyway, they don't get busted. besides why would I want to bust them?

"So it wouldn't seem suspicious to Linda." she replied after sensing my confusion.

"Oh yeah. But they've already built something for the day. I'll do it tomorrow."


She nodded in reply.


We sat in comfortable silence for a while, lost in our own thoughts.


I felt very relieved that I had succeeded in making two relationships! But now I felt kind of.... Hollow. not the bad kind when your sad or devoid of emotion, but in a bored kind of way. Now there was nothing to do, until I went back.

Sadness tumbled upon me as I realized how much I wanted to go back home again. That unexpected trip had been refreshing and the tension of getting Isabella together with Phineas had been distracting me from the home sickness. But now the hollow feeling was being filled with sadness and loneliness, with the passing second.

I missed Carley so much. Last time I wasn't able to spend time with her properly. And now she was stuck with an over-hyper teenager who was always set on busting her brothers.

I wonder how hard time Candace is giving her, and how Carley is dealing with it all.



I wonder if my parents have realized that Candace is inside my body, and I bet if they did they're worrying about me.

I wish I could go back to them, tell them Im alright. Heck, I wish I could go back!



"Hey, wheres Jeremy?" Stacey asked breaking me out of my sad thoughts.


As her words settled in my mind, and I realized what she asked, my glumness vanished. Instead, encouragement and hope filled my being.


"I don't know" I said slowly, trying to comprehend my change of emotions



"Hey guys" came a voice causing me to become excited.




"Hey Jermey" Stacey and I replied.



I think I'm going crazy because I could have sworn my heart started beating a bit faster.



"So what'd I miss?"


Recovering from my strange mental and physical changes, I started telling Jeremy the story of the day, with Stacey adding somethings from time to time.



~*~



"So, I'll see you guys tomorrow then. Bye." Jeremy said as he left the yard.


"Bye." Stacey and I echoed.


After explaining everything to Jeremy, we all had come to the backyard to see what everyone was up to.

They were all hanging out since the day's project had been finished early. However Phineas and Isabella, and Baljeet and Ginger held hands and stuff. It was pretty cute.


Now everyone was pretty much leaving.



"Guess I should get going too then."
Stacey said."Bye Jennifer."


She turned around and stopped dead in her tracks, after seeing Isabella standing there.


"Care to explain how this is an inside joke?" Isabella asked.


"I um, it's a uh-"


I sighed.


"Stacey, I think we should tell her." I said.

I mean there was no way we could change what she heard.


Stacey sighed beside me.

"Ok."


I took a deep breathe and began to explain "Isabella, I'm not Candace. I'm Jennifer." I continued. "Some how I ended up in Candace's body and she ended up in mine. That's why Stacey kept calling me Jennifer."


Isabella stayed silent for a while, comprehending the new information.


"So basically you helped me with Phineas?"

I nodded.


"Well that makes sense. I was wondering why Candace had decided to help me." she smiled at me. "Thank you Jennifer."


"Uh, your welcome." I smiled back.

I didn't expect this response from her.


"But please don't tell anybody."


"Your secret's safe with me!" she replied.


"Thanks."


She nodded and left.


"Well that was unexpected." Stacey muttered. "I'm sorry she had to find out Jennifer."


"Don't worry about it." I replied.



She smiled. "See you later, bye!"


"Bye"




I went inside and trotted up to my room.

I can't believe Isabella had found out. Well she had been suspicious. It was bound to happen sooner or later.


Her reaction was quiet weird. Understandable, but weird.



I laid down on the bed, facing the sloping ceiling.



"Candace?" came a British voice.


I sat up straight.


"Yeah?"


"Can I talk to you for a second?"



I nodded.


Ferb walked into the room, closing the door behind him. He looked pretty nervous.


He fumbled with his hands for a while and repeatedly cleared his throat.


Man I've never seen him this anxious before.


I had a sense of Deja Vu, in which someone came to ask me something looking anxious, except in this situation Ferb was the one here.


I can't exactly remember who it was last time....



"So, um, I was wondering..." he started. "That you could help me?"



I raised an eyebrow questioningly. "With what?"




He fumbled with his hands some more and cleared his throat nervously.



I recalled who was the person in the Déjà Vu situation, and understood before he said it.


"With Vanessa?"
