Backstage in the dressing room area, Isabella sat at her vanity, setting her curly black hair into a bun. Anthony paced around the room, humming his own little song and looking around curiously. Even the dressing rooms looked interesting to him.

Isabella looked over at him, "Anthony, could you hand me those earrings? The diamond ones on the left." Anthony nodded and di as he was told, still humming. After Isabella put her earrings in she stood and smiled, "There how do I look?"

Anthony looked at his mother and smiled wide. She wore a gorgeous blue dress that glided down her body and feathered out on the skirt. Her hair was in an updo bun and the earrings she wore tied it all together. He has never seen his mother like this before… she looked so perfect to him.

He walked up to her and smiled wide, 'You look so beautiful, so very beautiful. Like a queen in a book…'

Isabella smiled wide and ruffled her son's head, 'You too are beautiful, so very beautiful.Once this performance is through,we'll spend some timejust us two. Won't that be fun?'

There was a small knock on the door and Phineas entered. Isabella's eyes widened when she saw him. Something was… different about him. He was clean cut again, he wore a nice suit and there was no trace of a scowl or remorse in his countenance.

Anthony smiled and ran up to him, "Father! Doesn't Mother look lovely tonight?"

Phineas smiled lovingly at his wife, "Indeed she does. As lovely as she looked the very first time I came to her dressing room door."

Isabella smiled, "And look at you, Phineas! You look just like that handsome boy in the opera box. The one who would always toss me a single red rose…"

Phineas smiled and looked down at Anthony, "Please Anthony, if you don't mind… would you wait outside a while?"

Anthony smiled, "May I go exploring? By myself?"

Isabella spoke up, "Yes but stay back stage my dear. When I'm finished meet me here."
Anthony was halfway out the door when he called back, "I will!"

After he left, Phineas turned to Isabella and approached her. He sighed and spoke slowly and softly, 'Since our wedding daythings have gone astray…'

Isabella frowned slightly, "Phineas-"

Phineas spoke over her softly, 'I'm not proud of the way that I have acted…'

Isabella sighed, "We've both been-"

Phineas shook his head, 'The demands I've madeall the hopes mislaid. I'm aware of the price they've exacted.' He walked up to her and took her hands, 'Though I have no right to ask you to,there's one thing more I'd have you do
If you love me as I love you…'

Isabella squeezed his hands softly, "Anything darling."

Phineas looked into her eyes, 'Don't sing the song, dear.'

Isabella gasped, "What? But Phineas-"

'You have to know something's terribly wrong, dear.'

Isabella shook her head slightly, 'But I have to do this. It's what we agreed to.'

Phineas blinked and turned away, 'That hell spawn demon. He's had us playing his game all along, dear.'

Isabella put a hand on his shoulder, 'Just let me just get through this. Listen, please. I need to…'

Phineas turned to face her again, his eyes filled with love and sorrow. He held her waist and looked into her eyes,

'You need so much it's true, and I've denied you.
You need the man you knew,back here beside you.
You'll have him back I vow, just ask it of me.
But we must leave here now… If you still love me.'

Isabella looked at him, hope filled her eyes, "Do you mean it, Phineas? Truly?"

Phineas nodded and spoke almost frantically, "I've booked a passage for three on the Atlantic Queen. It leaves in an hour, we'll have just enough time. I beg you. Lets be on it. For both our sakes… and the child's…" he stoked her cheek and leaned in closer to her, 'Leave this place behind…'

She closed her eyes as his lips connected with hers. She felt his lips move against hers slightly, and she did the same. When they broke apart, Phineas stepped back, still looking into her eyes. She watched as he finally turned and left the room, closing the door behind him. She kept her gaze on the spot where he was just standing before.

She jumped slightly when she saw something moving in the shadows. Her eyes grew wide as the Phantom came out of one of the shadows and approached her. He put her hands on her neck and she gasped and closed her eyes. To her surprise, she felt something cold and heavy on her neck when his hands left. She opened her eyes and turned to look in the mirror. He eyes grew wide when she saw the most beautiful diamond necklace around her neck. She then looked up in the mirror at the Phantom, who was standing right behind her. His expression was soft as he put his hands gently back on her shoulders. His voice rang in her ears as he sang,

'He knows his love is not enough, he knows he isn't what you need.
He knows you're made of finer stuff, I think on that, we're all agreed.
It's time to leave him in the dust, it's time to be who you should be!
It's time to do now as you must, and set the music in you free.
In moments, mere moments,drums will roll.
There'll you stand just like before.
The crowd will hush, and then in one sweet rush
I will hear you sing once more.
And music, our music, will swell and then unwind
Like two strands of melody at last entwined!
Fulfill us, complete us, make us full!
Seal our bond forever more!
Tonight, for me, embrace your destiny!
Let me hear you sing once more!'

Isabella looked wide eyed and watched as he stepped back and disappeared into the shadows again. Another knock on the door startled her. She turned and looked as a stagehand peeked in and said, "Miss Daae its time."

After he stepped out, Isabella trembled slightly and sang lightly, 'Twisted in every way, what answer can I give?' She hugged herself tightly and breathed out heavily. She looked to the shadows and sang shakily, 'I know I can't refuse and yet I wish I could… Oh gosh…'

She held a hand to her face as she tried to stop the tears from falling. Her heart felt lighter as she heard the sweet voice of her husband somewhere nearby, 'Isabella, Isabella don't think that I don't care…' her eyes widened when she heard the Phantom's sweet voice add, 'But every hope and every prayer rests on you now…'

She breathed in deeply and wiped her eyes, before opening up the door and walking out. She bit her lip slightly as she made her way to the stage, still unsure of what to do at this point. She knows in her heart that she can't have them both… she must choose one or the other. But it hurts her to think about losing one or the other. As she walked unto the stage, she looked up at the curtains that blocked her from the audience. She trembled slightly and looked straight ahead.

Meanwhile nearby, Anthony roamed around backstage, humming his little tune over and over to himself. He looked up as the stage hands talked to each other.

"Ready on the rail?"

"Ready on the rail!"

He shrugged and kept walking, unaware of the drama taking place on stage…

Phineas stood above the stage, looking down at his wife. He could tell she was in deep thought and wonder what she could be thinking about right now.

He sang low to himself,

'Will she sing? Will she flee? What is she thinking now?
Is it him? Is it me? Devil take the hindmost…'

The stage hands called out again, "Ready on the floor?" there was a reply from another stagehand, "Ready on the floor!"

The Phantom looked down from the other side of the stage, and sang softly as well, overlapping with Phineas,

'Obey your heart, and sing for me
You want it so, stay and be mine
Eternally…Devil take the hindmost.'

'Will she stay? Will she go?
Does she know, even know?
Please, Isabella stop the show
Devil take the hindmost…'

They both sang low at the same time, 'Now it's time to make your choice. Do it for our son!'

The Phantom leaned forward, 'Use your head…'

Phineas sighed, 'No time to wait…'

They both sang low, 'Hesitate… we're all undone…'

The stage hands spoke up again, "Ready in the pit?"

"Ready in the pit!"

Linda looked out at Isabella from behind a curtain. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she sang, unknowing she's overlapping with Phineas and the Phantom,

'Perhaps she won't go on, perhaps she'll lose her nerve
Perhaps her voice won't serve and she will fail him now
And then my child and I will get what we deserve!'

Phineas repeated,

'Will she stay? Will she go?
Does she know, even know?
Please, Isabella stop the show…'

The Phantom repeated,

'Obey your heart and sing for me
Give me the child eternally…'

All three of them sighed,

'Devil take the hindmost.
Now it's time no turning back
All is on the line!
Here it is the final dance
One last chance to get what's mine!'

Linda looked up and saw the Phantom standing above her. As he disappeared into the darkness, she spoke low to herself, "I hope Isabella is worthy of you. I hope her singing makes up for what your blindness has done to Candace and me!"

Candace emerged from behind Anthony and motioned for him to follow her. He did happily, and took her hand. Candace looked back at Isabella and spoke before turning to leave with him, 'Devil take the hindmost…'

The stage hand motioned to another stage hand, "And… curtain!"

Gasp! O_O What next! ? *faints*
