Sofia and Arthur Star Crossed

Chapter one: Arthur gets an invite

Arthur Read sat at the family computer looking at the latest response from his pen pal from Enchancia. Apparently this place was a Kingdom ruled by her step- father and she lived with him and his daughter and son, making them her step sister and brother. At first he was skeptical of such a place existing but she sent him a video and now he was convinced. Mr. Ratburn though would likely tell him it was a place enhanced on the computer to seem grander than it actually was.

"Arthur I need to use the computer now," his mother told him as she came into the room.

"Alright mom," Arthur logged off as he set off for his room. Going to sit on his bed he couldn't get his mind off Sofia. She seemed so…pretty and to top it off she was an actual Princess. He had never met someone royal before so his imagination was running wild. They had yet to show each other how they looked and he worried she wouldn't like what she saw.

"Arthur…I need your help on this problem," D.W. said as she barged into his room.

"D.W…would you mind knocking? You walk in here everyday and I could be changing for all you know."

D.W. looked him up and down and grinned. "You aren't dressing…so back to my problem…how do you solve this?" She held out her tablet and gave him a smile.

Arthur let out an exasperated sigh before looking at her tablet. "I'm not going to do your work for you D.W. Have a seat and I will help you work through the solution."

It took half an hour before D.W. was satisfied enough to do the rest of them on her own. Laying down on his bed he looked up at the ceiling with a lopsided grin. I bet she is beautiful, he thought, I bet she is like no other girl I have ever seen before.

"Arthur get washed up for dinner," his mom called out.

"Alright mom," Arthur headed off to wash up and as he took a seat at the family dinner table he noticed his father staring at him.

"Arthur who have you been talking to on the computer of late? I can't help but notice that everytime you get off you seem…different. To be honest I am concerned."

"Arthur has a girlfriend, Arthur has a girlfriend!" D.W. sang in chorus and even Kate joined in by clapping her hands.

"D.W.!" Arthur shot a glare her way and then got a reprimanding look from his mother. Bowing his head he noticed D.W. sticking her tongue out at him.

"Actually I am curious myself Arthur. You aren't talking to someone you aren't supposed to…are you?" There was genuine concern and worry in her voice.

"No mom…it isn't like that. Her name is Sofia and she lives in Enchancia. She is 7 years old and lives with her step father, step sister, and step brother. Oh and her mom lives there too. That isn't the most amazing though…she is a real life Princess."

David Read and Jane Read exchange looks as the two of them contemplate what their son is telling them. Neither can come out and tell their son he was being lied to, or for the fact that this Sofia was actually someone targeting their son.

"Arthur…do you have any picture or some evidence that this person is who she says she is?" David asked stealing his fingers together.

"Well…she did send me a video." Arthur pushed his chair out and walked over to the computer. His parents weren't too far behind and as he pulled up the email he clicked on the video attached to an email she sent him.

"Hello Arthur. I am most pleased to heart of your interest in my home. Here is a video I took, I hope you enjoy. Oh and I would it if you came to visit me. School is currently out and I have little to do, in fact you can bring your family, but I am getting ahead of myself."

"She sounds nice," Jane noted. Suddenly the screen enlarged and it revealed a magnificent castle and flying horses taking carriages up into the sky. Inside the castle were long halls with elegant like carpets and many girls dressed in long flowing dresses. The guys wore decorated jackets and shirts over straight legged pants and their hair was combed with precision. As the video drew to an end Sofia's voice came back. "That was just a little taste of Enchancia. If you should decide to visit a carriage will arrive at a time and date of your choosing. I hope to hear back from you soon."

David cleared his throat as the screen went back to the email. "So…how long have you been talking to this Sofia?"

"Close to a month now. I invited her here but at the time she was still in school." Arthur could hear the skeptic in his father's voice and he imagined the same expression from his teacher Mr. Ratburn, if he told him.

"Well I think it is only fair we accept this request and see for ourselves if this person is indeed who she says she is. It will do us good to go somewhere outside of our comfort." David Read said.

"Do you mean it dad?" Arthur could barely contain the excitement in his voice upon hearing his father.

"Yes…set up a date for the coming Saturday. Your mother and I should be off then and we shall go by carriage…assuming it is here then." He still didn't believe it but he would go along with it for now.

Arthur quickly responded and the week could barely go fast enough. He bided his time by doing his homework and hanging with his friends…though at times it seemed like he was somewhere else. Sofia was just as glad as him and her email spoke of exciting prospects from touring the castle grounds to attending a royal ball. It all seemed like a dream or a story he had been told, but no this was in fact going to happen.

Saturday arrived and the Read family found themselves out on their front lawn with luggage and wary expressions. D.W. herself seemed to not believe her brother. "Honestly Arthur, this sounds like something you made up just to make us look like fools."

"Trust me she will come." Arthur wished with all his might that he wasn't wrong, that what he told Sofia and what she told him was more than mere emails between fake personalities.

"Arthur I will give this five more minutes than we head inside. The neighbors are beginning to look and honestly I don't want them to." Jane Read said looking down at her son.

"Mom I know Sofia…the carriage will be here shortly." Again Arthur hoped he wasn't being led to be a fool amongst all his neighbors.

"Arthur I think that was-." David Read began but never finished as a strong gust of wind blew past him. Shielding his face he looked to see horses stamping their feet and a man dressed in fine silk nodding his head from where he sat.

"You must be the Read family. How do you do, Princess Sofia sends her regards as not being able to greet you herself, but, she was asked to set up a proper greeting back at the castle. Whenever you are ready please climb inside and we can be on our way."

"You see mom and dad…she came through." Arthur climbed inside without hesitancy and his parents stood dumbfounded a bit longer before making their way inside. D.W. was the last to climb in as she petted the horses with much curiosity.

"D.W. get inside now," Jane tells her daughter, still wrapped up in her son's story being actual truth.

"So…Arthur wasn't lying then," D.W. said aloud while seating herself next to her mother, "what part of the bed did I fall out of this morning?"

Arthur was indeed telling the truth and much of the conversation worked around his story and how they would actually be visiting a genuine castle. Of course that was fine and all but Arthur only cared about one thing at the moment, one thing that made him get in that carriage in a heartbeat, to see Sofia. Hurtling up into the clouds a blinding light enveloped his vision and they soared high above the clouds for a bit. Looking out his window he marveled at the sights and how the horses were able to fly with the simplest of ease. Where he came from horses of such magnitude were imaginary…but here they flew like birds and they carried something as heavy as a carriage without a drop in altitude.

"Wow…I can see our house from up here," D.W. commented as she pressed her face up against the window.

"This ride…sure is bumpy…how long till we land?" Jane Read held herself as flying in a plane seemed easier, much safer then riding in a carriage pulled by flying horses.

"Relax Jane dear…everything will be alright." David patted his wife's hand and looked to Arthur for help on this. He told stories to D.W. but never would he believe for a second he would be in one of them.

"Oh sure mom…in fact there is the castle now." Arthur pointed at the huge elegant castle and as they made a descent he heard his mom's scream.

"Alright…you may disembark now at your leisure…and might I add…welcome to Enchancia." The man hopped down and as he opened the door Arthur was the first to step out. It was everything he had hoped it to be and the man stood patiently watching him with amusement.

"Arthur…you made it!" Sofia stood there dressed in her best gown as she glowed from head to feet, her big blue eyes shining earnestly. "Welcome to my home!"
