Isabella was completely distraught with Phineas gone. Living wasn't the same without the very thing she lived for. She had been taken out of his hospital room shortly after he passed, she figured she gave them a hard time about it but she didn't remember, it was mostly a blur.

After a day which was spent mourning and preparing the wake was held for everyone. Most of Danville ended up showing up and the whole funeral home became exclusive for Phineas for 3 days. Everyone came up to the Flynn-Fletchers and shared their experience with the amazing child, from an engineer talking about a roller coaster to a morning DJ about a beach. At each memory Candace and Ferb cried at the fun memories and Linda, after having things explained to her, cried at the missed moments in her brilliant son's life.

Isabella however stood outside for the 3 days, she didn't walk into the very crowded room, but instead stood in the still crowded hallway. Isabella went home after the second day and decided to listen to some music. Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now. This can't be happening to me. This is just a dream. She turned off her Ipod, it rarely ever made her feel better anyways, she knew this wasn't a dream, in nightmares Phineas was dead and she would wake up and he'd be there, now he was gone when she was awake and lived on only in her dreams. She was thinking about the wake. She was happy with her last image of the boy she loved being him saying he loved her but as the days past she remembered a saying that wakes are for the living to say goodbye and she knew she would regret not going in.

The crowd was extremely dense in the room, a true testament to Phineas's life no matter how short it was. People who saw her coming they made as much of a path as they could and she squeezed her way through. As she looked around at the people in the room she knew this was the ideal funeral for Phineas, most had sadness in their eyes but all had smiles on their faces as they exchanged stories and remembered days in which the amazing person was there.

Isabella made her way around instead of taking the path that was opening and when people saw this they returned to their positions. She worked her way around talking to Phineas friends and family, everyone recognized her and they all felt sadness for her position. As Isabella made her way around tears fell slowly the whole time and all the stories made her smile. She almost laughed at the times he seemed oblivious and those when he didn't.

She finally made her way to the Flynn-Fletcher family at the front, they exchanged a glance and almost wanted to just grab each other and hope that when they were done Phineas would be back. Isabella nodded to them and headed to the coffin, she looked at the face of the boy she had spent the better part of her life trying to be near. She knelt down and thought Phineas, you probably will never understand how much I miss you or how many people your life improved but I hope you truly are in a better place. You sure as hell better save me a spot up there next to you cause I'd hate to have to push my way in next to you the way I've been doing my whole life. Make sure that I never forget to make every day count and I'll be sure that you never die down here

She stood up tears still streaking down her face but it was okay because she knew Phineas wouldn't die, the hundreds of people here would ensure that the legend of the small 10 year old with enough energy to fill the world, who made every day better than the last, knew what he would do that day, and was far to young to do everything he did straight through to dieing. He inspired a city to make days count and left a legacy larger than should be possible for one kid, for the city had a new motto, a motto they dedicated and followed in honor of Phineas. It meant more than anyone could fathom but yet they all understood it and its meaning.

Carpe diem.
