A/N: Stinkfly3 here. The song in this chapter was Myron Greenleaf's idea.
It wasn't long before Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella came back to the 2nd Dimension. Candace and the others were waiting for them, but they looked a bit sad.
"What's wrong?" Phineas asked, forcing a smile. "Didn't you see the special?"
"We did," Dr. Baljeet explained. "And so did Vanessa."
"Where is she, anyway?" Phineas asked. "Where's my sweet little princess?"
"She left," Candace answered. "After you sang Blue Christmas, she looked sad and guilty at the same time."
"So what?" Phineas asked. "I'll just see if she's still asleep in her room." But just as he was about to leave, he heard the words he never wanted to hear.
"Dude, she's gone," Buford said. "She packed all of her bags and used her phone to transport herself to Colorado. She ain't comin' back."
Phineas was completely devastated. He attempted to hold back tears as he replayed Buford's statement in his mind. "She left without saying goodbye..." the 11-year-old boy thought.
"I-I have to go," Phineas said, his voice cracking in sadness. Then he left The Resistance HQ, not wanting to look back.
Phineas sat on the Pacific Ocean beaches, looking at the dark purple sky. The last time he came here was when his parents died. Now he was here because Vanessa left him...forever.
Phineas felt tears pouring from his dark blue-dark green eyes as he blinked. Vanessa was the only one who showed him he doesn't need a perfect family to survive. She brought him out of the dark and made him feel special. Heck, he wouldn't have been able to survive in a Doofenshmirtz-free life if it wasn't for her songs.
But with her gone, Phineas felt like a different person, but he wasn't going back to being a shy conformist. He felt drained of all emotions, like he was an empty shell of what he used to be. Everything he lived for was slipping away, and he couldn't stand it.
Phineas looked at the full moon. He remembered hearing a song about it not too long ago. He sang the song out loud, thinking about his love.
Shadows all around you as you
Surface from the dark
Emerging from the gentle grip
Of night's unfolding arms
Darkness, darkness everywhere,
Do you feel all alone?
The subtle grace of gravity,
The heavy weight of stone
You don't see what you possess,
A beauty calm and clear
It floods the sky and blurs the darkness
Like a chandelier
All the light that you possess
Is skewed by lakes and seas
The shattered surface, so imperfect,
Is all that you believe
I will bring a mirror,
So silver, so exact
So precise and so pristine,
A perfect pane of glass
I will set the mirror up
To face the blackened sky
You will see your beauty every
Moment that you rise
Phineas let out a small sob as he wiped tears from his eyes. Ever since he fell in love with Vanessa, he imagined an entire future with her. He always thought about things like proposing to her, their wedding, and seeing her in the hospital holding his newborn child in her arms. But with Vanessa gone...
Should Phineas Vincent Flynn even live in a lonely world?
