A/N: The positive reception for my story has motivated me to keep writing! Thanks so much from all of you who review! This chapter will be in first person point of view, from Isabella's POV of course! This chapter won't be as long as the previous ones. I ran out of material as I was working on another, separate one-shot featuring our favorite platypus!
Chapter 4
Beneath the Misty Moon
Phineas gently lifted my head so I could look at him. My mascara ran in a black stream down my cheeks. I had no idea why I had suddenly burst into tears, but I could not stop the flow of emotion when I confessed my feelings for him. I sniffled, embarrassed and suddenly self-conscious of myself. Phineas smiled gently towards me, and got on bended knee.
"I must… look silly to you…" I muttered. Phineas shook his head.
"No, you look beautiful."
What he did next shocked me. Phineas Flynn kissed me. It wasn't a simple peck on the cheek or a light smooch. This… This was special. It was as if fireworks had exploded inside me. His warm, soft lips pressed up against mine, molding to the contours of my mouth. I melted in his arms. Closing my eyes, I wrapped my arms around his neck and accepted the kiss I had waited more than ten years for.
Oh, Phineas! Phineas! Phineas!
We stayed that way for a long while. How long is beyond me. I lost touch with all my surroundings. My mind was numb. So this was what kissing was like. It was absolutely wonderful! Phineas pulled away and I moaned, not wanting to break contact. He smiled warmly at me, and I blushed slightly.
"Phineas…" I whispered. He placed a finger on my lips and shook his head.
"No talking."
He stood and helped me up. With his handkerchief he wiped my face clean of the mascara, then he offered me his hand.
"May I have this dance, Isabella Garcia-Shapiro?"
I accepted. He pulled me close, close enough that I could feel his beating heart. It was strong and steady, comforting. I laid my head upon his chest, and closed my eyes in bliss. My dream had finally come true.
"Look Isabella, a shooting star!" exclaimed Phineas. I looked up into the night sky and saw the trail the star left behind. "Make a wish, Isabella!"
I closed my eyes and clasped my hands. A few seconds later, I opened them and looked at Phineas. He smiled.
"What did you wish for?" he asked.
"I wished that this night could last just a little bit longer," I said. I looked into his deep blue eyes. I became lost in his beautiful, large irises. I just couldn't believe that after all these years, he finally acknowledged me.
He lifted my chin again and leaned down, touching our foreheads together.
"Isabella, I have a question for you," he said.
"What is it, Phineas?"
"Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, will you be my girlfriend?"
Tears formed in my eyes once more. Wishes really do come true. At least mine did, that night under the misty moon.
A/N: Like I said, it wasn't going to be terribly long. The next chapter will make up for this one in length. My Perry the Platypus one-shot is still in the process of being made, but it should be uploaded by tonight or tomorrow. Thank you for your support and patience.
