These two are very short so I decided to blend it into one chapter...I continue to own nothing and I hope you enjoy what I've written.
Water colors
There came a time in which Phineas felt the need to get his portrait painted. He had seen all the regal looking paintings all along the hallways of the palace and found that he wanted to put something up there along with them. Just to say: I was here. To all those history hating kids a couple decades from now.
He would be dressed nicely and instead of looking off at something off the picture, he would be smiling. He thought that this would look- oh so nice and that people would remember him as being a really happy king.
Isabella laughed when he explained this to her.
He was very hurt and demanded to know why she found this so funny.
"Well, if you smile in a portrait then the painter will make it bigger to fit the entire campus and...there is the fact that you would get tired..."
"And this is an issue how?" He said, clearly not catching on.
She smirked. "You'll look like you're having diarrhea issues."
He blinked. 'I will not!"
She sighed and turned a leaf in her book. "Just you see…once that portrait gets hung up. You will see that I was right."
He frowned and proceeded to stomp out of the room like a five year old princess throwing a tantrum [Isabella knows this since she was once that five year old and found this even more amusing because of that].
And three weeks later…she was right. After standing for three hours at a time Phineas's smile did change and was very realistically portrayed on the campus. He looked like he was holding in a-
"Fine," he said examining the portrait afterwards. "You were right."
"I always am," she quipped.
Reincarnation
New ideas come and they go as the people move on…but one kept appearing in their lives…for some odd reason. Perhaps fate? Phineas never did believe in such a thing but maybe…you never truly know now, do you?
It was actually Prince Baljeet who first brought it up.
"It means that the world or worlds are all connected, he said. Each soul would be reborn into another body over each lifetime. Meaning perhaps the phrase 'soul mates' could connect to that in the sense that they find each other in each lifetime…."
They hadn't really taken him seriously at the time.
At the time they had laughed and offered him more tea.
But now Isabella sat awake and wondered.
Was it even possible? She and Phineas could be connected on an even deeper level if it was. When they die would they meet again in some other worldly place? Would that mean that they had met many, many times before…well that would explain some things.
Sometimes she feels like she has seen this before or felt this before.
It made the theory highly believable in that sense.
She glanced to the side, to her sleeping husband and wondered again. If it were possible then clearly they would never be apart…that thought made her smile a bit. She would always be reborn and she would always have Phineas.
She didn't believe in it- per say- but she didn't mind the idea either.
So she snuggled into his arm and ceased her wonderings. She had all she needed right here.
