1. Isabella: Tunnels

Phineas, Ferb, Funeral and Neon Bible by highway67

"Isabella: Tunnels"

Notes: This is part of a series of Phineas and Ferb songfics based from the songs of The Arcade Fire. Each songfic is a dream from a main character. This one is Isabella's dream. I don't own Phineas and Ferb or the music of The Arcade Fire. The song is Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) by The Arcade Fire.

And if the snow buries my
My neighborhood

It was a winter morning in Danville. However, it was a morning that no one in this strange little town would ever forget. Instead of the sun shining through the windows that create an everlasting glow inside the houses, the sun was trapped by the snow, which fell so much overnight that it was as high as the houses. The neighbourhood was enveloped in darkness.

And if my parents are crying
Then I'll dig a tunnel
From my window to yours
Yeah, a tunnel from my window to yours

The lack of light caused by the snow caused a seasonal depression in which the adults and the children couldn't handle. For one little girl named Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, it was especially tough since she can't see her best friend and love interest, her next door neighbour, Phineas Flynn. Then, she got a phone call from the object of her desire. He told her that he missed her dearly and wanted to see her, to see if she was okay. They both agreed that the depression from the darkness can't suffocate them anymore. Phineas told Isabella that he will somehow dig through the snow all because he wanted to see her.

You climb out the chimney
And meet me in the middle
The middle of the town

The two young ones met at the midpoint of the tunnel connecting his house with her house. The only light they had was the light coming from Isabella's cell phone. However, Phineas, always the efficient hard worker, had already made another tunnel. This tunnel connected their own to the top of the world's biggest snowbank. At the end of the tunnel, the sunlight blinded the two and when their eyes adjusted, they saw a paradise. The streets of Danville were still buried under the snow, but they can go anywhere and do anything.

And since there's no one else around
We let our hair grow long
And forget all we used to know
Then our skin gets thicker
From living out in the snow

The whole town was empty as Phineas and Isabella explored the town and it stayed this way for the next few days. But whatever dangers came to pass through the snowbound town or whatever their needs were, Phineas was always there to defend his friend and to provide for him and her.

You change all the lead
Sleeping in my head
As the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn

Every night, the two kids slept in the middle of the tunnel for it was the warmest place for them to sleep in and Phineas, with his skills as an inventor and a handyman, always made sure the place was safe for both of them. One night, as the two slept, Isabella whispered into his ear the song "Gitchi Gitchi Goo" and it made them even closer.

Then we tried to name our babies
But we forgot all the names that
The names we used to know
But sometimes, we remember our bedrooms
And our parent's bedrooms
And the bedrooms of our friends
Then we think of our parents
Well, what ever happened to them

Days turned into months and months into years; the snow never melted, but Phineas and Isabella continued with their new lives in the snow, and so did their two kids named Phineas and Isabella (seeing as they forgot the other names). Taking care of their kids often reminded them of the love their parents gave them and the friends they once had, never knowing if they are still alive after all those years.

You change all the lead
Sleeping in my head to gold
As the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn
The song I've been trying to sing

However, this family that lives on the top of the world's biggest snowbank had no worries. Phineas and Isabella loved their kids and they loved each other. Every night in the snow bunker, both Phineas and Isabella continued to sing their song to each other and also to their children as lullabies. Thinking of their new lives, Isabella said to herself a prayer,

Purify the colors, purify my mind
Purify the colors, purify my mind
And spread the ashes of the colors
Over this heart of mine!

Note: Sorry to start with Isabella, but it is the one that I completed first. There will be more songfics to come based on the other main characters. Please, be patient.
