Request? No

I can really explain this scene... it's really complicated. Just watch the video and pretend Philip is you.

"You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
So don't keep saying our hands are tied
You claim it's not in the cards
Fate is pulling you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?

What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight

You think it's easy
You think I don't want to run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wondering why
Because we're able to be
Just you and me
Within these walls
But when we go outside
You're going to wake up and see that it was hopeless after all

No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you
It's not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight

All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you

It feels impossible (it's not impossible)
Is it impossible?

Say that it's possible

How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart
'Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It's up to you
And it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
And why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours

You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
But I can't have you
We're bound to break and my hands are tied"Anne finished walking off.

Time Skip to like a week or so later

Fire rampaged the circus, causing thick spools of smoke to waft into the air. "Everyone! Stay close!" You yelled, helping the bearded lady out of the building, everyone started huddling at the front of the crowd. P.T. Barnum grabbed your shoulders and started shaking you.

"Is everyone out?! Is everyone ok?!" He yelled, he then grabbed the thief, "The animals, where are they?"

"We let them go, what else could we do?" He explained.

"W.D where's Anne?!" You yelled at the male.

"Where's Anne? Where's Anne?!" He yelled, clearly not knowing. You looked back at the building, you made a quick decision and started running towards the building, everyone yelled in protest.

Once you entered the burning building you were met with an unbearable heat. "Anne!!" You yelled, "Anne!" A pillar fell to the ground next to you, showering you with burning embers.

"(Y/N)!" You heard someone yell. You turned to the voice and saw P.T. Barnum run towards you. Just then a block of wood fell on top of you. The last thing you saw was a panicked Phineas Taylor Barnum rushing towards you.

Another time skip

You tried to move your fingers. It worked, You gripped the hand incasing yours and opened your eyes. You were met with a teary-eyed Anne Wheeler. She smiled and brought your hand to her face, she let out a couple of tears. "Hey," You said. She smashed her lips onto yours, kissing you passionately, you, of course, kissed her back. Once she pulled away you smiled at her and whispered, "I love you."

"I love you too." You pulled her into another kiss.

Time skip again

You picked up the piece of rubble allowing Anne to pull the ring out from under it. P.T. walked up the steps to the ruined building.

"The bank said no?" You asked.

"Undoubtedly, repeatedly, I don't think there's a bank left in the country I can fool into loaning me more money so... I'm really sorry to disappoint you all." He replied.

"Don't worry about it Barnum," Charles laughed, "we've gotten used to it by now." You started approaching the older man standing in the middle of the crowd.

"You know Barnum" You started, "When I first met you, I had an inherencies, claim, and an invitation to every party in town. And now thanks to you, all that's gone." You paused, "All that's left is this friendship, love, and work that I adore. You brought joy into my life."

"Into all our lives," Lettie cheered.

"Heer Heer!" Someone yelled.

"I need a bank who takes joy as a collateral." P.T. sighed.

"They may not. But I will." He looked at you in surprise. "I own 10% of the show, knowing who I was working for, I had the good sense to take my cut weekly.

"(Y/N), I can't let you gamble it on me."

"Sure you can!" Anne commented.

"Don't turn sensible on us now!" Lettie whined.

"Partners. Fifty-fifty." You said holding out your hand.

"Partners," he said shaking your hand.

"The only thing is, I don't know how we're going to afford a building"

"Right," he breathed, "We don't need a building! Realistate in Manhatten is a terrible investment. I can get land down by the docks for almost nothing! All we need is a tent!"

Time skip, yet again (Sorry!!)

You stood behind the bleachers watching Anne with an adoring smile. You then saw Barnum running towards you. He held out his top hat to you, you looked at him in shock. He smiled once you took it and placed it on top of your head. "What will you be doing?"

"Watching my girls grow up." He said throwing his staff at you, you caught it."The show must go on." You grinned and started running out to the pit.

You slid on your knees once you reached the center, "This is the greatest show!!" You sang.

"When it's covered in all the colored lights.Where the runaways are running the night." Every one sang.

Then it was just you and Anne, "Impossible comes true, it's takin' over you."

"Oh, this is the greatest show" Anne let go of her rope and came to your side. You started dancing with her.

"We won't come down. And the walls can't stop us now. I'm watching it come true, it's taking over you. Oh, this is the greatest show. 'Cause everything you want is right in front of you. And you see theimpossible is coming true. And the walls can't stop us now, yeah. This is the greatest show. This is the greatest show!" With that last note sung you pulled Anne into a loving kiss, the crowd cheered.
