Hi. This is a Sofia the First tale. The Sofia of this fanfic is 10, and is close to the one from the canon. The only difference is: this Sofia became the Crown Princess of Enchancia nearly before her journey to free Princess Elena of Avalor. See my fanfic 'The Rise of Sofia'.
'Going to the Past' takes place after Sofia earned her Enchantlet and does not take into account future changes in the franchise and its characters.
I do not want to write a story with many chapters. This will be shorter than 'The Rise of Sofia'. So I want to make sure the readers can comment before the end of the story, which I hope not to leave unfinished, despite not having much time to write.
One of the canon characters has no known name yet. So she will be called Victoria, here. This can be updated if the character earn an official name in canon.
With the exception of the name Victoria, the other names, the characters and the other elements mentioned in this story belong to Craig Gerber and The Walt Disney Company.
There's another beautiful day on Enchancia. The sun shines on Aunt Tilly's manor, where she, her niece Sofia and Bartleby are preparing the backgarden for a lunch with them and all the Royal Family. King Roland II, Queen Miranda, Prince James, Princess Amber and Queen Victoria (Roland and Tilly's mother) were invited. Sofia arrived early to help Tilly.
Bartleby wears an outfit similar to the ones he wears on the galas in Enchancia castle. Tilly wears her tradicional green and red outfit. Sofia wears her outfit given by Alacazar, added with the sun pin, and the Enchantlet on Sofia's right arm.
Aunt Tilly and Sofia don't know. Bartleby has a pair of engagement rings in a box in his pockets. He plans to ask Tilly to marry him, on the presence of all her family.
Sofia and Tilly are talking while working. They became many close since the first time they met for the first time. So Sofia asks.
- Aunt Tilly, I was thinking. When did you hear about me for the first time?
- Well, Sofia. I knew about you before meeting you. Roland invited me to his wedding ceremony with Miranda. Besides, he sent a letter about how he was in love with Miranda and mentioned that would like to show me my new niece, the Miranda's daughter that he said he would turn his daughter. There was a little portrait of Miranda with the letter. He wrote I must go to the ceremony to discover your name, Sofia. I think he had hope to force me to let my mission as ambassador on another kingdom to go to the ceremony. Unfortunately, I could't.
- Yes. I know. You met me and my mom many times later, on our home. You called me as Amber.
- It's true. What a crazy aunt I am, Sofia!
The two laughted together, when suddenly Sofia's amulet starts to glow. Sofia becomes a little worried.
- Aunt Tilly. I think the amulet is summoning another princess to help me.
Tilly found this fun.
- Another princess? Sofia, I'm helping you and I'm still a princess, as you said. Do you remember?
- So is the amulet summoning me to help another?
- Now I'm being worried. And if it's this?
The amulet didn't let more time to Sofia, and make her disappear under twinkling lights and a purple smoke.
- Sofia? Oh, no! Where did you go?
Bartleby heard Tilly's voice, and comes close to ask.
- Tilly, are you afraid? Where is Princess Sofia?
- I don't know, Bartleby. Do you remember? I said you that Sofia's amulet is magical and summons another princesses to help her and summons herself to help previous bearers of the amulet. Now the amulet sent her to another place, and I don't know where.
- I hope she returns soon. The King and the others will be here soon.
- I hope, too.
At the same time, Sofia appears back to her home. In the corridor, in front of her own bedroom. Sofia says to herself.
- I don't understand. The amulet sent me back home? Why?
Sofia looks around. The castle looks the same as she always knew since she moved to the castle. So she opens the external door of her bedroom. She looks around her front room. She looks to the walls, and some things left her worried.
- Where's Elena's painting?
This was a gift given by Elena on the day Sofia left Avalor, after the journey to take Elena home and the later vacation days of Sofia and her family on Avalor. That was a portrait with Elena and Sofia on the day Elena became Crown Princess of Avalor. Elena with her gala red outfit and the Scepter of Light, and Sofia with her pink amulet and the same purple outfit of the day before. With... The sun pin. But now the painting isn't on Sofia's wall. There's another painting, with Princess Tilly and Prince Roland (the future Sofia's father) as little kids. Sofia's spine freezes.
- I have a bad feeling about this - Sofia says.
Sofia thinks quickly. Sofia has sorcery classes in Royal Prep, and with Cedric, the Royal Sorcerer of Enchancia. Everyone told her about the Forbidden Spell of Time Travel. It is a spell that can move a person into the past or into the future. This spell has been forbidden in all kingdoms centuries ago, because it is very dangerous. It can cause changes for better or worse in all places, and can lead to the disappearance of many people from existence, if someone from the future changes the past with malignant goals, or accidentally. Even the worst dark magic users are afraid to use this forbidden spell.
But the Amulet of Avalor was made by Maruvian sorcerers many centuries ago, with magical crystals from the Mystic Isles. Many centuries before all kingdoms forbid the spell. The Maru Kingdom doesn't exist anymore, but the Amulet remained with the power of Forbidden Spell of Time Travel, and no one could remove this power from the Amulet.
Sofia fears she had been taken into the past. So Sofia could never reveal to the people of the past who she was, and where she came from. She fears to ruin Enchancia's future, the future of her family, and her own future. Immediately, she removes her sun pin and put this in the pocket of her outfit. No one could know she was a Crown Princess of Enchancia from the future.
Sofia takes courage and decides to enter her bedroom. Inside there, she becames more worried. It's the same bedroom, but all painted on green and red, not pink. The same colors on the bed and on the curtains. There are no more toys. The furniture are in the usual places. Even the desk, full of books.
Sofia closes the bedroom door, and looks around. Then she becomes frightened, hearing the inside door opening and sounds of footsteps behind her. She immediately turns around and is shocked to see who entered the bedroom. A blond princess at the age of 12, wearing a fancy green dress, with the sun pin of the Heir to the Enchancia Throne, and a tiara. The older princess asks, surprised.
- Who are you? And what are you doing in my room?
The worst Sofia's fears are real. That girl is Princess Matilda of Enchancia. Her own Aunt Tilly, at 12.
This is the Chapter One. The Amulet of Avalor sent Sofia to help Aunt Tilly, AKA Princess Matilda, many years on the past. Could Sofia be happy to help her own teenage aunt? On the other hand, what risks are there for herself, for Tilly, for their family, and for Enchancia, if something goes wrong?
I hope everyone will enjoy this story. I'm waiting to comments and suggestions, before writing the next chapter. Thanks to everyone!
In time: 'Going to the Past' is a little inspired on the motion picture 'Back to the Future', owned by Universal Studios.
