His father died during his surgery. Phil suddenly burst into tears thinking about his father being gone. What would they do! They couldn't fix the time machine now and worse of all his father was gone! Suddenly Phil felt like he couldn't stand up any longer. He felt his legs give in and he fell to the ground unconscious.
He woke up in his bed and Keely was next to him in a chair. "Wow Keely I had the worst dream…"he said softly. Keely looked like she was going to cry. "Phil I don't think it was a dream…"Keely replied. Phil sat up. "I was hoping it was a dream but in my gut I kinda had the feeling." Keely hugged him the hardest she ever had. "Are you ok? You really scared your mom and me when you passed out" Keely told him. "I feel like my life is just one bad dream Keel, Your all I have." Phil told her making a tear run down her face. "Will you be my girlfriend?" Phil asked. "Of course I will" she replied.
The funeral was soon after. Phil kept thinking about life without his dad and he couldn't imagine it. Pim wouldn't talk to anyone and she wasn't herself. Life was terrible for Phil; except having Keely in it. At the funeral all the friends of the Diffys were there and Keely held Phil's hand most of the time. When Phil went up to do his speech he got through half and then started crying trying to go on but it was so hard for him to speak. Keely walked up and helped him finish the rest of his speech.
After the funeral and the burial Phil and Keely went to Keelys house to spend some time together. "Where were we," Keely said to Phil as she pushed the button on the stereo. She put her arms around his shoulders and he put his hands around her waist as slow music came on. "Lets hope the phone doesn't ring," Phil said trying to force a smile. Keely giggled and bit her lip.
They spent the whole night together just talking and being able to be together. Another night asleep together on the sofa. Keelys mother woke them up the next morning. "Do you guys want some breakfast?" She asked them as they walked into the kitchen. Keely yawned and pulled up her jeans. "No thanks Mrs. Teslow I better get going home," Phil told her. They walked towards the door. Keely kissed him for as long as she could and then gave him a big hug. "Bye Phil," she yelled as he got into the car. Keely walked into the kitchen and sat down. "Keely I don't want things serious with you a Phil!" Mrs. Teslow told her with a stern voice. "I am all he has in his life Mom, and you shouldn't even care!" Keely yelled. Keely ran upstairs and slammed her door.
