What you are about to read, is one of my favorite scenes from The Lion King movie! :D
You know, looking back to the last chapter, I think I made Dr. D like a boss in this story. I mean, c'mon, I made him Mufasa. gosh darnit. Plus his musical number in this is epic! I totally should've used that joke! XD
Anyways, here's the next chapter. :3

Chapter 4: They Live in You
The journey back to the kingdom was a silent one. No one dared say a word after what had happened. After they returned to the castle grounds, Pinky and Olive left back to their posts. Perry was about to follow, when Doofenshmirtz called for him. The platypus walked over to him, albiet awkwardly considering what had just occured. "Yes sire," Perry asked.
"Take Isabella home, her mother must be worried sick," Heinz ordered, "I've got to teach my son a lesson."
The two turned over to Phineas and Isabella, only a small distance from them. Phineas tried to make himself as small as possible. Perry looked back to Heinz before walking over to Isabella, saying in a well collected tone, "Come Isabella," then Perry turned to Phineas and said, "Phineas...good luck..."
Perry took Isabella by the arm and took her to her home. Isabella glanced back at Phineas before both she and Perry disappeared into the castle. The young prince flinched at his father's voice, "Phineas."
The young boy followed Heinz into the garden behind the castle and had him sit with him on a bench. Phineas tried not to make eye contact, but could still feel his father looking at him sternly. "Phineas, I'm very disappointed in you," Heinz scolded.
"I know," Phineas said, a bit quietly but still audible.
"Do you realize that you could have been killed," Heinz began to raise his voice, "You delibrately disobeyed me. But you didn't stop there, no, you had to bring Isabella into it!"
"I was just trying to be brave like you," Phineas sniffed, feeling tears at the brim of his eyes.
Heinz's expression softened a bit. "I'm only brave when I have to be," he said, "Having bravery isn't looking for trouble just to prove that you have it. Being brave means that you have to be scared, too."
Phineas wiped the tears from his face and looked over at his father with a shocked expression. "But you're not scared of anything," he said.
"I was today," Heinz said, "I thought I might lose you."
Phineas blinked, and fell into a moment of thought. "So even kings get scared, huh," Phineas asked.
Heinz gave a small smile as he nodded. Phineas face lit up a bit as he smirked a little. "But you know what," Phineas asked.
"What?"
"For a bunch of brainless robots, I think they were even more scared," Phineas chuckled.
Heinz laughed softly before giving a playful grin at his son. "Because no one messes with your dad," he said before grabbing Phineas into a pretend headlock and giving him a monkey scrub.
"Oh, no you didn't," Phineas giggled before breaking free of his father.
The two began to wrestle on the lawn of the garden, laughing. Before long, they laid on the grass, panting, but still smiling. Phineas sat up, looked over to Heinz, and said, "Dad, we're pals right?"
"Yes, son," Heinz confirmed, sitting up as well, "Yes we are."
"And we'll always be together, right," Phineas looked at his father hopefully.
Heinz on the other hand seemed to be a bit solemn, though his son failed to notice. Although Phineas knew a bit about life, he knew nothing about death. And he wasn't sure whether he wanted to tell him about that topic just yet. "Phineas," Heinz said, "Let me tell you something my father told me: look at the stars. The great king of our past look down at us from those stars. They will always be there to guide you...and so will I."
Phineas grinned and hugged his father, who stroked his hair, smiling softly.
