And then Isabella did the simplest thing in the world. She leaned over and kissed him.
And the world cracked open.
She fell, and the bottom didn't come anytime soon.
Through the dark night, with air rushing past her, she fell.
Afraid, she clawed for something,
-anything- to keep her from falling to her death.
Why can't love be easy for once?
Isabella watched as the bright light from the surface faded from view, and she was left in the dark.
Without him.
She could feel the air get hotter as she fell further towards the earth's core, and the walls of dirt, and rock get closer as if she were being buried alive.
She let out a panicked scream as she fell, -unable to see anything but her hands in front of her, as she realized she wouldn't see Phineas again.
This was the end.
Isabella felt a single tear roll down her face as she felt the heat of the magma below consume her and the red glow of the hot substance light up the dark space.
She could see the lava get closer as she fell at the speed of a rock falling from space onto the earth.
Isabella put her hands over her face as she came only inches from her death.
But suddenly, she was safe.
She was in the dark again, but was now consumed not by air, and heat, but by soft blankets, and someone's strong arms.
"Isabella wake up." A voice urged.
"Izzy baby, it's okay, wake up." It said gently.
Still panicked Isabella quickly opened her eyes as she gasped, and pushed away from whoever had their arms around her.
Her eyes adjusted to the dark, and she saw that she was sitting on the couch in the Flynn-Fletcher house with Phineas who gave her a concerned look.
"Shh, it's okay." He soothed as Isabella let out a small sob, and let the tears stream down her face.
The dream felt so real, and she hated to think that she would lose Phineas forever. She worked so hard to get this far, and she wasn't ready to let go yet.
"Come 'ere." Phineas said as he pulled Isabella into a warm hug.
"It's okay. It was just a dream." He whispered.
"I'm here. Don't cry."
