Epilogue
Isabella lay awake in bed. Completely unable to sleep, she rolled over in bed and for the millionth time picked up the figurine on her bedside table. It was a complete replica of Oz including Shiz. You had to look closely to see it but everything was in full detail.
Posters on the shop windows, the fact that everything was green, even the dorms inside Shiz were furbished. Isabella smiled thinking about the boy who had done this for her. He was across the street right now probably fast asleep.
She grinned. That boy had known how much of a fan she was of Wicked. She still was even three years later. She ran her finger over the rooftops of Shiz university before setting it back on her bedside table. She took out her iPod and unlocked it quickly.
She put in her headphones and selected a song. She smiled as the beginning music came on and fell back on her pillows and just listened.
[Look up 'As long as you're mine' from Wicked before continuing]
Kiss me to fiercely
Hold me to tight.
I need help believing that you're with me tonight.
My wildest dreamings
Could not foresee
Lying beside you with you wanting me.
And just for this moment
As long as you're mine.
I've lost all resistance
And crossed some borderline
And if it turns out
It's over to fast
I'll make every last moment last
As long as you're mine.
Isabella smiled. Her and Phineas would be singing this song at an upcoming talent show and she could hardly wait.
Maybe I'm brainless
Maybe I'm wise
But you've got me seeing
Through different eyes
Somehow I've fallen
Under your spell
And somehow I'm feeling
It's "up" that I fell
Every moment
As long as you're mine
I'll wake up my body
And make up for lost time
Say there's no future
For us as a pair
And though I may know
I don't care!
Just for this moment
As long as you're mine
Come be how you want to
And see how bright we shine
Borrow the moonlight
Until it is through
And know I'll be here holding you
As long as you're mine
(spoken) What is it?
(spoken) It's just - for the first time, I feel - (whispers) wicked!
Isabella thought the song suited her and Phineas so well. She adored both Wicked and Phineas. Both combined… She was in seventh heaven. Isabella unlocked her iPod again and pressed replay.
