A five year old Isabella Garcia Shapiro was walking through the park with her mom and dad, in New York, on the way back from Christmas shopping.
"I have to go honey, but I promise I will be back" He dad promised, gripping her tiny hands in his large ones
"Daddy why do you hafta go?" she pouted
"because its my job honey" he replied
"I dont want you to go" she sobbed
"I know. and I dont want to go. but I will be back soon. I promise" he promised and kissed her cheek, before kissing her mother and running off into the night
That night Isabella prayed to god that her Father would return to her, and would be fine. she said the same prayer every night for 2 weeks.
2 weeks later
Isabella walked in the bedroom to her mother sobbing.
"mommy whats wrong?" she asked
"nothing sweetie" her mom lied
"its daddy isnt it?" she asked, seeing the black envelope
"her mother hesitated and Isabella screamed and started sobbing hysterically
"hes not coming home, is he?" she asked
"no, sweetie. Im afraid hes not" he mother whispered
Isabella screamed and ran into her room, and sobbed all night until she finally fell into an uneasy sleep, after uttering a prayer to keep her grandparents and aunt and uncle safe.
The next morning Vivian woke up her daughter and said
"we are moving to Danville. Your fathers body will be transported there, where we will have the funeral"
"I dont wanna move away" she sobbed
"honey-" her mother was cut off by the phone ringing
"hello?" she heard her mother ask
She heard a sharp intake of breath and a wail of grief, and the phone fall to the floor and disconnect.
"mommy whats wrong?" she asked climbing out of bed
"nothing" she replied
"stop lying to me" Isabella demanded
"Isabella, honey," her mom said, kneeling and grabbing her hands, the same way her father had when he had said goodbye. She yanked her hands away and her mom put her hands on her shoulders. "baby, Grandma and Grandpa were... were in a car accident with Auntie Rose and Uncle Fred. They all died. Im sorry honey"
"everyone I pray for keeps dying" Isabella sobbed and rab into her room to pack
Isabella never prayed again, until the day Phineas Flynn was hospitalized after they broke up from a stupid fight.
"Phineas you have to be okay" she sobbed, holding his hand tight in her own
FLASHBACK
5 year old Isabella was finally done putting her stuff in her new house, and was sitting on the curb crying.
"are you okay?" someone asked her
"no" she replied
"Im Phineas Flynn" he whispered
"Im Isabella Garcia Shapiro" she replied
"do you want to talk?" he asked
"sure" she replied hesitantly
he sat beside her and said
"so whats wrong?"
"every one I pray for keep dying" she sobbed
"what do you mean?" he asked "I thought prayers are supposed to keep people safe"
"they are. but I prayed for my daddy when he went away, and he died. and I prayed for my Gamma and Grampa and Auntie and Uncle and they all died to" she sobbed
"oh" he replied, and wrapped his arms around her in a hug. She returned it and her mother called her in for dinner
"I have to go" she whispered
"okay. well tomorrow you should come over tomorrow. I live right over there" he replied, and pointed right across the street "just walk in the backyard"
"okay. bye. see you tomorrow" she smiled
"see you" he smiled back and ran across the road and into his house. Isabella smiled and walked into her house for dinner
"who was that boy?" her mother asked
"my best friend ever" she whispered and sat down for dinner.

FLASHBACK
Phineas Flynn was sitting in his backyard when the 5 year old Isabella ran in sobbing.
"Isabella whats wrong?" he asked
"I need you" she whispered, hugging him tight "today is my daddys funeral"
"okay. just let me know get dressed properly. I will be right back" he promised, and squeezed her tight, before turning and running inside
He returned a few minutes later and she grabbed his hand as they walked across the street and got in the car. They quickly drove to the funeral home and sat together as the minister spoke.
"I would like to call upon his lovely daughter Isabella to speak" he finally said
She stood and said
"come up with me?"
Phineas nodded and, keeping a strong grip on her hand, walked with her up to the podium. she stood on a stool, and said
"I didnt know my daddy for very long, but he was an amazing man. I love him, and always will, and I cant believe he was taken from me. I will never forget him for as long as I live. Daddy I love you" she jumped off the stool and pulled Phineas into a tight hug, sobbing on his shoulder.
Phineas rubbed her back softly and lead her back to her seat. She sat on his lap while he cradled her gently, whispering in her ear about how brave she was, and how brave and strong her dad would think she is, and how much her dad loves her.
"your my bestest friend ever Phineas" she whispered
"your mine to Isabella" he whispered

"Phineas!" Isabella wailed and the 12 year old boy spun around, just in time for Isabella the launch herself into his arms.
He hugged her tight and said
"whats wrong?"
"my boyfriend is cheating on me" she wailed, not really sure why she was upset, since she had been using Josh to get Phineas jealous
Phineas immediately saw red and kissed her cheek, and said
"I will be right back Isabella"
He turned and stomped through the crowded dance, and was gone for around 5 minutes. When he finally came back he had bruised knuckles.
"you wont have any more trouble with him" he whispered and hugged her tight
"thank you" she whispered
"your welcome, Isabella" he smiled. there was a pause, and a slow song came on
"may I have this dance?" he asked
"you may" she smiled, blushing
He blushed and placed his hands on her waist, and she put her arms around his neck, and they spun around gracefully, lost in their ow little world

The two teens were sitting in a hospital waiting room, waiting for news on Vivian's condition, and Isabella was about to loose it, when finally a doctor came up to them
"are you family of Mrs. Garcia Shapiro?" he asked and they both nodded
"she is going to be fine. We cleared out the problem and she will make a speedy recovery" he smiled
"thank g- you" Isabella smiled
"you can see her now, if you wish" he smiled and lead them to her mothers room

END FLASHBACK
"Phin you cant leave me" she whispered "I love you"
There was no response from the boy and she felt tears pour harder down her cheeks
"Ooh...
Everybody's got something they had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or neither been
All this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go
I never had a dream come true
Till that day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where love takes me to
A part of me will always be with you
Somewhere in my memory I lost all sense of time
Amd tomorrow can never be
'Cause yesterday is all that fills my mind
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it should be now or neither been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go
I never had a dream come true
Till that day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where love takes me to
A part of me will always be with you
You'll always be the dream that fills my head
Yes you will, say you will, you know you will, baby
You'll always be the one I know
There's no use looking back or wondering
Because love is a strange and funny thing
No matter how I try and try
I just can't say goodbye
No no no no
I never had a dream come true
Till that day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where love takes me to
A part of me will always be with you
A part of me will always be with you..." she finished and broke down sobbing again, and rested her face on his chest and sobbed
She fell asleep, and woke up to fingers running through her hair.
"go away mom" she groaned
"I love you, but last time I checked im not a girl" she heard a familiar voice reply
"Phineas!" she gasped, sitting up and looking into his deep blue eyes "I thought you werent going to wake up"
"what and leave you behind? as if!" he teased
"I missed you" she smiled
"I missed you to. Im sorry about that fight... whatever it was about" he apologized
"Im sorry to" she smiled
"I love you" he smiled
"I love you to" she smiled and kissed him passionately
