Chapter 1

It was early spring and a young girl with long black hair roamed through the small village trying to find some cheap food to buy for her mother who was sick and hungry. The young girl was wearing a pink shirt and a purple skirt usually everyone wore something nice and pretty but not her family, her family was very poor and couldn't buy much clothes or food. It was hard to live in a rich kingdom especially when there was a king and queen! However Isabella and her mom hid the fact that they were very poor and just moved on.

Isabella walks up to a small fruit store and she set her basket down, "how much for some fruit?" She asks sweetly.

A brunette turned around and looked at the young girl a bit shocked that she was shopping at her age, "umm how old are you?" The man asked.

"I'm 14 years old sir." She replies smiling cutely.

"Hmm, ok then...well I'm selling these fruit for 1 gold coin each!" He replies.

Isabella smiles and pulls out a bag of gold coins she handed the man 10 and took 10 different kinds of fruit, turning around to leave but stops noticing a poster on the mans wall It showed the king and queen with their sons next to them, "what's that about?" She asks the man.

"What? The poster? You didn't know?! Well, the king and queen have finally announced that they're letting their two sons out of the castle today to explore the kingdom by themselves! I always wanted to see the prince, they only have one prince that will become king when adult I'm not sure which one though. That's why everyone is waiting for the two kids to come so we can find out! But we all know were going to need a bunch of luck to meet one of them. No one has ever even met them yet! We don't even know what they're like!" He explains.

Isabella was very interested by this, "how old do you think the sons are? They look my age." She asks excitedly.

The man reads the poster, "it says they are 14 years old." He replies.

Isabella perks up and took her basket filling it with the fruit she turns around and started to leave.

"Oh and I wouldn't get your hopes up, you've got a 0 chance of meeting them..they're probably looking forward to meeting someone with lots of money, and you barely have any!" He laughs.

Isabella frowns and she sighs sadly, he's right, I'm never going to meet the prince or even any royal person. she thought as she walked out of the shopping ally and toward the forest where her small house was found.

Isabella looks at her basket and smiles slightly, "don't worry mom I have food for you." She whispers and stepped on some wet ice she gasps and slips flinging her basket into the air she closes her eyes tightly waiting to feel the hard ground but she didn't, instead she felt someone grab her hand! She opens her eyes to see a red head boy he was holding her basket in his other hand as he kept her from falling, her eyes sparkled noticing how cute this boy looked, he was wearing a brown/red jacket over a tan and orange striped shirt with long dark blue pants.

The boy pulls her up and gave her the basket with every fruit still in it, "here you almost lost these." The boy whispers.

Isabella blushes and she takes the basket. "T-Thanks.." She giggles and looks at the floor, "I-I'm Isabella." She stuttered.

"Nice to meet you Isabella! I'm Phineas!" Phineas greeted and bowed his head respectfully.

Isabella was surprised by his manners, "why is a handsome wealthy boy like you doing out here?" She asks.

Phineas places his backpack down and he sat on it, "I'm exploring! What are YOU doing out here?" He asks noticing that this young pretty girl wasn't wearing a jacket, "and why aren't you wearing a jacket?! You must be freezing!" He gasps and instantly took off his jacket and gave it to her.

Isabella was about to refuse his jacket but he put it around her anyway she blushes more, "I uhh sorta live in the forest." She admits and pulls his jacket more around her, "and I don't have enough money to buy a jacket." She mumbles.

Phineas was shocked by her answer, "really?! Everyone who lives in the kingdom I thought was rich!" He gasps.

Isabella shook her head, "nope I guess my mom and I are the only poor people here." She sighs sadly.

The red head folds his arms, "well I'll let you keep my jacket then, I have a bunch at home." He laughs.

Isabella smiles, "really? Thanks." She giggles and set her basket down and she takes a long look at the wealthy boy standing in front of her still lost in her mind about how cute he was.

Phineas gets worried, "hey Isabella, are you ok? You've been staring at me like that for a while now." He asks.

Isabella snaps out of it and she blushes, "I'm sorry about that! Oh I forgot to ask, how old are you? I'm 14."

"Really?! I'm 14 too!" Phineas shouts excitedly.

Isabella smiles widely she realizes what time it is and panics, "I got to go! My mom needs this food!" She shouts she picks up her basket and ran into the forest.

"Wait! Don't go!" Phineas yells to her.

Isabella stops and turns around she sighs and walks back to him.

Phineas smiles happily and he picks up his backpack not realizing something fell out of one of the pockets. Isabella notices an object fall out of his backpack and she walks over to it and picks the object up she looks at it and her pupils shrink realizing that it was...a crown. "W-What is this and why do you have it?" She asks and turns around to face the kid.

"Oh it must of fell out of my backpack." He whispers and takes if from her, "it's my crown." He replies and places it on his head, "I don't like wearing it because people freak out over me being the prince." He admits.

Isabella eyes grow and she tightens up, "w-wait..did I hear you correctly? D-Did you just say p-prince?!"

Phineas nodded, "yes that's what I said. I'm the prince of this kingdom." He replies before he knew it the girl fainted right in front of him. "ISABELLA!" He gasps.
