Ah... some romance time... :)

WordNerb93: Yeah I know... poor poor Irving (kinda).

Sierra-275: Thanks for letting me know, I'll keep a lookout for it. Next new episode next week is Meapless in Seattle. :) And yes, Monogram will come in later...

robinbid123: Agreed! XD

Leopardlover1002: Same here... they are all so amazing! :D

Michi41: Nothing is ever dull when it comes to Phantom, I can assure you...

Galaxina-and-Seedrian: Yes, yes it is... dun dun DUN!

Hard Coaster: Yeah I can picture that too strangely...?

MeWantACookie: I think the Phantom is cool, but Raoul is so nice... I dunno, in POTO I prefer Raoul... Phantom is a murderer and is very mean at times... what about you?

I don't own PnF...


Phineas followed closely behind Isabella. Why she wanted to go on the room was beyond him. It was cold and snowy outside and neither of them was dressed appropriately for the weather outside. Isabella was in her pageboy outfit still and all it was a thin blouse and breeches. Phineas had his suit on but it wouldn't be enough either to keep out the cold. He noticed how nervous she looks and knows fully why. But there was a burning question in his mind.

He sped up so he was at her heels and called out, 'Why have you brought us here?'

Isabella panted, 'Don't take me back there!'

Phineas tried to grab her hand but missed, 'We must return!'

Isabella shook her head frantically, 'He'll kill me! His eyes will find me there!'

Phineas frowned even more, 'Isabella don't say that…'

Isabella shook her head, 'Those eyes that burn!'

Phineas casted her a worried look, 'Don't even think it…'

Isabella began climbing a staircase and called out, 'And if he has to kill a thousand men…'

Phineas was right behind her, 'Forget this waking nightmare…'

Isabella spoke out almost angrily, 'The Phantom of the Opera will kill and kill again!'

Phineas caught her wrist and turned her around, 'This phantom is a fable. Believe me there is no Phantom of the Opera!'

Isabella whisked her hand away and continued down a hallway, 'My gosh, who is this man who haunts to kill?'

Phineas continued to follow her, 'My gosh, who is this man, this mask of death?'

Isabella ran faster towards another staircase, 'I can't escape from him, I never will!'

Phineas was right behind her, 'Whose is this voice you hear, with every breath?'

As they both climbed the stair, the two of them sang at the same time,

'And in this labyrinth, where night is blind
the Phantom of the Opera is here inside your/my mind…'

By this time they were now outside on the roof. It was freezing cold out, a few wayward snowflakes fell and there were many statues set up in different places. Isabella walked towards the edge, facing away from Phineas. Phineas closed the door they just walked through and turned to Isabella.

He took a few steps towards her and spoke softly, 'There is no Phantom of the Opera.'

Isabella turned to face him. Her face held pure terror as she spoke,

'Phineas, I've been there…
to his world of unending night!
To a world where the daylight dissolves
into darkness… darkness…'

Phineas, I've seen him!
Can I ever forget that sight?
Can I ever escape from that face?
So distorted, deformed,

it was hardly a face,
in that darkness… darkness…'

Phineas stared at her, shocked by her sudden outburst. She breathed in and out heavily and suddenly her face softened. She walked towards the edge again, singing almost trancelike and becoming more and more ecstatic with each word,

'But his voice filled my spirit
with a strange, sweet sound…
In that night there was music in my mind.
And through music my soul began to soar!
And I heard as I'd never heard before…'

Phineas stepped up behind her and spoke soothingly, 'What you heard was a dream and nothing more…'

Isabella looked at him sorrowfully and sighed,

'Yet in his eyes all the sadness of the world.
Those pleading eyes, that both threaten and adore…'

Phineas approached her, speaking comfortingly, 'Isabella… Isabella…'

She suddenly gasps when a ghostly whisper from the Phantom rings her ears, 'Isabella…'

Isabella looked around frantically, "What was that?"

Phineas had heard the voice too and started looking around. His eyes finally met Isabella's and she ran into his arms. He stumbled back slightly, but he encircled his arms safely around her chilly body. She pressed her head against his shoulder and looked fearfully around. When Phineas felt her shudder, he pulled back slightly. He tipped her chin up to him and looked at her glistering eyes. She looked up at him and he could still see fear clearly written in her eyes.

He sighed and rubbed his thumb on her cheek, singing softly,

'No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears.
I'm here, nothing can harm you…
my words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears.
I'm here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you.'

Isabella looked into his eyes and cracked a small smile at him,

'Say you love me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime…
Say you need me with you, now and always.
promise me that all you say is true…
that's all I ask of you…'

Phineas pulled her into a hug and stroked her hair,

'Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light.
You're safe, no one will find you
your fears are far behind you…'

Isabella took a ragged breath and pulled back to look at his face once again,

'All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night…
and you always beside me
to hold me and to hide me…'

Phineas smiled slightly and grasped her hands in his,

'Then say you'll share with me

one love, one lifetime…
Iet me lead you from your solitude…
Say you need me with you here, beside you…
anywhere you go, let me go too.
Isabella, that's all I ask of you…'

He found himself leaning in closer to her, but pulled back again when she squeezed his hands and smiled wide,

'Say you'll share with me

One love, one lifetime…
say the word and I will follow you…'

Phineas smiled wide and sang with her,

'Share each day with me,

Each night, each morning…'

Isabella blushed slightly, 'Say you love me…'

Phineas rubbed her cheek softly with his thumb, 'You know I do…'

They both leaned in closer and sang softly, 'Love me that's all I ask of you…'

Their foreheads touch and once their eyes our closed, their lips closed the distance in between them. Isabella's head was whirling as she kissed him. All of her fears seemed to melt away with each passing second. Phineas moved his lips rhythmically against hers and he felt her arms wrap her arms around his neck. He reached down to her waist and picked her up, twirling her all around. She pulled back and smiled at him. They both laughed gleefully until he set her down. He leaned forward and began kissing her again and she kissed him back passionately. They broke apart for air once more and smiled wide as they sang out strongly,

'Anywhere you go let me go too!
Love me that's all I ask of you…'

They kissed once more and wrapped their arms around each other. Isabella's eyes suddenly opened and she pulled apart to say,

'I must go they'll wonder where I am…
wait for me, Phineas!'

Phineas smiled dreamily and gripped her hand, 'Isabella, I love you!'

Isabella smiled and leaned up to kiss his lips once more. Once they pulled apart again, she smiled wide and squeezed his hand,

'Order your fine horses!
Be with them at the door!'

Phineas followed close behind her, 'And soon you'll be beside me!'

Isabella opened up the door and led him inside, 'You'll guard me, and you'll guide me…'

The door closed with a loud 'thunk'. Once the lock was set, the Phantom suddenly appeared from behind a statue. He was breathing heavily and had a few tears in his eyes. He looked to where Isabella disappeared to and began singing sadly,

'I gave you my music…
made your song take wing…
and now, how you've repaid me:
denied me and betrayed me.
He was bound to love you
when he heard you sing!'

He buried his face in his hands and began crying out her name quietly, 'Isabella… oh, Isabella…'

His head lifted up slightly when he heard the two lovers voices echoing in the opera house down below,

'Say you'll share with me

One love, one lifetime…
say the word and I will follow you.
Share each day with me,
Each night, each morning…'

The Phantom grew angrier at each passing word they sang. He clenched his fists and looked out to the night sky. He snarled to himself and roared out in anger,

'You will curse the day you did not do
all that the Phantom asked of you!'

He laughed maniacally before flipping his cape in front of his body and disappearing…


Uh oh... now Isabella's in trouble. This actually marks the end of Act One... so next chapter will start Act Two. So... refill your popcorns, take a bathroom break and we'll start up the music soon... :)

Thanks for reading. Review?
