Phineas could feel Isabella's hands supporting him on her lap. His eyes opened slowly as he gained consciousness. It hadn't been until after he'd gulped every drop of that water that he'd been drugged in a way. His vision cleared, and he swore he could see a familiar setting behind Isabella. However, he was distracted by Isabella's sparkling eyes and her concerned expression.
"Isabella?"
"Oh, thank goodness you're okay. I thought he'd poisoned you to kill you or something," Isabella said in relief.
"No, I'm okay. He just drugged me so I'd faint. It could have been much worese," Phineas replied with a smile.
"Oh, it gets much worse, Phineas," Isabella said, and as Phineas tried to push himself up, he found his hand going through the air.
Isabella was holding him and herself. As he found a structure to grab onto, he sat up, and he could see he was in a huge cage. The bars were thick, but the spaces between them were large enough for them to fall through if they weren't careful. Carefully, Phineas found enough ground to where he wouldn't fall through.
"Surprise!" a voice said behind him on the video screen, "Look familiar?"
"The goozim cage," Phineas said, and he looked down to see the lava, "but your goozim is in another dimension. The only danger here is falling into the lava."
"Not your best plan," Isabella added.
Heinz-2, accompanied by Charlene-2 on the large TV screen, just rolled his eyes. He was REALLY starting to get on his nerves. Phineas could see the bridge extend toward them, and the door slowly opened.
"The goozim might be gone, but I have something you fear even more," he taunted, and Phineas and Isabella gasped as a horde of pharmazombies advanced toward them.
Phineas just about stumbled off the cage as he and Isabella backed away. They carefully got to the back of the cage, and they started climbing to the top. Never had they been more glad to be good at monkey bars as they monkey barred to center of the cage. Unfortunately, they'd forgotten that they can climb as well, so they started backing up toward the back of the cage again. Phineas did his best not to show the terror in his eyes. He had to be brave for Isabella who couldn't help but show her fear right now. Suddenly, they both slipped through the bars, and they hit the bottom of the cage. Luckily the zombies had all climbed toward them, so they were on the top. Unfortunately, however, they fell through the space on the bottom too. Phineas quickly grabbed Isabella's hand, and with his free hand, he grabbed the bar. With both hands, Isabella had hold of Phineas' wrist as he had his hand around one of hers. It took Phineas all his will not to look down- -as well as all his strength to hold onto Isabella and the cage at the same time- -, and he shook as his strength was starting to fail him. Even though he's stronger than he looks, he's still tiny. (no offense, Phin, you're adorable!) Dangling under the cage with the only path leading to lava had almost distracted him from the voices of the zombies. He gasped as he could see them coming even closer to them now. He was now shaking as his eyes fell onto his pocket. His eyes widened as he remembered. This wasn't part of the plan, but it'll work.
"Isabella," he called, "I need to ask you something."
"Okay, but you might wanna make it quick and meaningful since this looks like the last chance you'll get to ask it," Isabella replied.
"Do you trust me?" he asked.
"Of course I trust you! I've always trusted you," Isabella replied, but then she faltered a bit, "Well there was that day with the Beak, but other than that. I trust you."
Phineas bit his lip, feeling as the zombies made the cage rumble. Phineas could feel his hand slipping, and he clenched his teeth in determination.
"How much do you trust me?"
"What?"
"Do you trust me to do something that looks really stupid, but you trust me enough to know what I'm doing?"
"Um...what?"
Phineas groaned, "Do you trust me to let go of the rail?"
"WHAT?! Phineas, that's crazy!"
"I know, but you need to trust me. Do. You. Trust. Me?!"
Isabella was about to shake her head from fear, but she looked into his eyes. They were sincere and desperate at the same time. She could then see as one of the zombies got closer to Phineas.
"Yes...I trust you."
Phineas nodded, and as the hand of one of the zombies reached down to touch him, he let go. Isabella screamed as they fell, and they wrapped their arms around each other. Phineas quickly reached into his pocket, and he pulled out his cell phone. Heinz-2 widened his eyes as he suddenly realized that Phineas planned their escape. Perhaps he didn't plan it exactly this way, but somehow he planned this.
Phineas gave a glare at the screen, and he placed the phone against his ear, "GO TO GARAGE!"
With that, Phineas and Isabella vanished from sight.
