CHAPTER 1
Sofia was super excited when she awoke!
"Wow, Sof!" exclaimed Clover. "You're sure in a good mood this morning!"
"She sure is!" seconded Robin as Mia nodded in agreement.
"I have good reason to be!" answered Sofia. "After breakfast today, Mom, Amber and I are going into Dunwiddie today to go shopping!"
"That sounds like fun," said Clover.
"It will be! Maybe when I'm in the village, I'll be able to visit Ruby and Jade, too!"
"I wish I could go with you, Sof," Clover stated dejectedly.
"I'll ask Mom if it would be okay at breakfast. Maybe she'll let you."
And with that Sofia hurried off to breakfast.

At breakfast, the plans for the day came up.
"Well, I'm going to visit Zandar in Tangu today, " announced James. "What about you Sofia?"
"Well, Mom, Amber and I are going to go into the village, shopping!
"Oh, and I wanted to ask, Mom, could I bring Clover along?"
"You and that rabbit!" sighed Amber offhandedly.
"I don't see why not. But remember, Sofia, none of the storekeepers will want him in their store, especially the grocer," replied Miranda.
"I promise to keep him out of trouble, Mom."
"Then he can come, Sofia."
"What do you have planned for the day, Daddy?" asked Amber.
Baileywick replied for Roland. "He has his usual busy schedule today, Princess. The King will meet with King Magnus on plans for a formal sculpture garden, he then has to talk to the masons and resolve a nagging issue with them, then he has an award ceremony to perform as a guest of the Trolls, to the winners of the Troll Games, along with his usual review of decrees and requests."
"Wow, Dad!" exclaimed James, "that's some schedule!"
"It does keep me busy, James, but it's all necessary to keep the kingdom running smoothly."
Baileywick politely interrupted the King, "Excuse me, Your Highness, but King Magnus has arrived and is waiting for you."
"Well then, I'm off to start my day. Enjoy yours!" stated Roland as he made a sweeping motion toward his family and left with Baileywick.
"I'll go get Clover," said Sofia.
