Hi this is Princess Ruthella lol and this is my first fanfiction piece. It is based off of stories my little sister and I would make up. Some parts are going to seem really random especially later on – you're probably going to be like, "WHAT THE HECK…" but whatever lol. So this piece is kind of comedic; it's like a comedic romance. Enjoy! And please, please tell me what you think! I will write more soon :D +All characters belong to Disney

Lovers' Remorse

Despite all the hesitation that clouded his mind, he knew that his love for Sofia was strong. He just needed to know that she held those same feelings for him. Cedric glanced at his wand – a possession that wouldn't be his if it weren't for her convincing his cynical father to bestow the wand to him. He laughed at himself, thinking of all those ten years they spent together concocting spells and brewing up potions. Cedric began to continue work on his desko spell when a familiar knock was heard at his wooden door.

"Mr. Cedric," a beautiful voice sang. "Your favorite friend in the whole world is here!"

Cedric just felt friend-zoned. ("OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH, that's not FABLOUS," Baileywick sputtered – this is going to happen in the story lol randomness from the FaBlOuS Baileywick). He chuckled thinking, well they aren't a couple...yet, so why would she address herself as such. "Hey, how are you doing today? And might I add that new sorceress robe I gave you looks quite becoming on you."

Sofia looked into his big, ungly, black holes called eyes (Ungly is my way of saying ugly so don't be bothered when it happens :P ). She sighed, thinking he would never share the same ever growing feelings she had for him. But why would he? He was definitely more concerned with spells and potions than thinking about love. Her heart began to feel uneasy. If she didn't confess her love soon, her heart just might BURST. She started pondering all the countless outcomes if she told him she loved him. He might proclaim his love for her, too. But she also had to take into account that if she told him and he dismissed her feelings, their decade-long friendship would crumble. She just had to do it.

Cedric started to look at Sofia's beautiful sky-blue eyes that seemed clouded with thought. What could she possibly be thinking about? His heart began to swoon. His love began to rise and spill from his once blackened heart. "Sofia…"

"Cedric...," Sofia muttered.

"….I love you," they both declared, awestruck that they both processed the same feelings.

"Wait, what?!" Sofia declared. "How long did you harbor these feelings?"

"Augh… for a while I guess...I mean not too long," Cedric stammered, his face reddening since he did not want to sound like a child molester.

"I liked you for a while, too," Sofia hummed. "So, umm what do we do now?"

Cedric looked into her sparkling eyes. "Huh… what?! Ahhh, I don't know?" He felt perplexed. He didn't know this day that he had waited for would arise so soon. He began to clear his throat. "Ahh hem…would the lovely Princess Sofia desire to court this humble sorcerer?" he bowed.

"YES, duh!" Sofia giggled, then she inched towards his face and kissed his dumbfounded lips and ran away with glee.

(^-^)

"Sofia, are you okay?" Amber probed. Her sister's face looked like one that would be given to a creepy doll: all smiles and no other emotions. "Sofia..?" she questioned again. "What's wrong with you!" She flicked a piece of fruit from her breakfast tray toward her sister's face despite its unladylike manner.

"AUGH!" Sofia cried. "Why did you do that?!"

"Ummm ..you didn't respond so I just thought…." Hmmm Amber thought that was unbecoming of her. But what was wrong with her sister? She was usually so lively and smiley, but not creeper-status smiley. "Sofia is something the matter? You seem…distracted. REALLY, REALLY distracted!"

"Oh…ummm it's nothing… my love." Sofia sighed, slowly leaving reality.

"My love?!" Amber asked baffled. "You never call me that…Sofia..hey sister. I'm talking to you." Sofia just stayed all smiles and no matter what Amber screamed, Sofia didn't falter.

Finally, Amber left Sofia's room, disgusted as she waited in her room until her sister turned back to normal…if that ever was going to happen. "But something is truly up, and I'm going to get to the bottom of this," Amber thought.

(^-^)

Sofia laid in her canopy bed singing love songs to herself. "Oh, I can't believe he likes me!" She squealed, hugging herself with delight. She went to her mirror and was humming, Oh, This is Love that Cinderella once sang, when she heard a timid knock on the door. "Who is it?" She softly giggled.

"Ummm…your boyfriend?" Cedric's shy voice answered. "I got a surprise for you!"

"Oooooh, a surprise," Sofia joyfully responded.

Cedric entered with an ebony picnic basket. "I was thinking you would want to join me for ….umm, a picnic perhaps," he spluttered.

"OF COURSE, MY LOVE!" she replied. She was about to ask him if wanted to venture out of the castle and spend some time together, but of course she wanted him to make the first move. "Where exactly are we going?"

"Ummm…actually I haven't thought about that. Oh, well. The whole castle grounds are beautiful." He sighed.

"Well I don't care as long as I have you," she said, quickly kissing him on the cheek and then running down the hall. "HA HA! Catch me if you can, SUCKER," she sang, ditching him and jogging down the stairs.

"Hey, that's not fair, my dear. I have this basket to carry." He pouted, watching her leave him further and further behind. Wait a second. I'm a sorcerer, he thought. "Behindo." Cedric cast his wand and Sofia ended up behind him. "I'm in the lead now," he triumphantly declared.

"Aww…cheater!" Sofia sputtered between heavy breaths. "I…surrender," she said smiling. "Now I guess we can walk the rest of the way, Stupid," she said, grabbing his non-basket holding hand. Gazing dreamily into each other eyes, they left the castle walking close together as any other couple in love would do. Unbeknownst to them, a pair of amber eyes were watching them in horrified shock.

(^-^)

"Wow, this place is beautiful," Sofia declared, staring at a beautiful pond hidden in the forest with serene weeping willow trees scattered around that were softly swaying in the wind.

"Yes, is it…I used to come here to think when I was tired of the world dragging me down with all their skeptical comments and tedious laughter." He sighed.

"Oh…" Sofia mumbled, not sure what to say. "Umm..well, none of that matters now because I love you and I think you're the MOST AMAZINGEST SORCERER IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD," she hollered, smiling that blissful smile full of delicate pearls that God gave her for teeth. Then she started blushing because she realized just how young she just sounded.

"Thank you…but you know you can't use the word most before a word that ends in –est in the same sentence," Cedric boastfully replied sticking out his tongue.

"Cedric…,"Sofia groaned face palming herself. "This is not the time for a grammar lessons." She smirked, then wrapped her arms around him and said, "Let's eat. I'm starving!"

"Okay…table seto," he said as he waved his wand and a beautiful petite cast iron table appeared with two matching chairs. The plates on the table were pure white with elegant lilacs etched on the outside and filled with savory grilled chicken and Spanish rice, and of course, asparagus (can't forgot the greens XD ). "How does that look? Oh, I almost forgot. candle lighto! Every romantic lunch or dinner I can't tell what time it is, isn't complete without candle light," he sang, extending the word "light." "My princess," he purred, pulling out a chair.

"Thank you, my prince." She giggled as she gracefully sat down.

"WHAT?!" he stammered wide-eyed.

"I'm just kidding …hmm maybe one day you will be," Sofia said piercing his soul with delight. He sat across from her and they just stared at each other. A heavenly moment forever lost in time, gazing at their beloved with so much pleasure it seemed as if nothing could sever their duration of peacefulness. At least, so they thought.

"AUGHHHHHHHHHHH, SOFIA!" Amber's voice shrieked. "Ewww, a bug, mud, dirt AUGHHHHHHHH," Amber said, repulsed that her attire was destroyed by stalking her sister and her sister's what-she-doesn't-want-to-admit "boyfriend" through the woods. "I NEED TO TALK TO YOU ALONE," she screamed, eyeing Cedric with a scowl.

"Okay...," Sofia slowly left her seat, frowning sadly at Cedric. She followed her sister over to a willow tree that was out of hearing range from her distressed boyfriend. "Is something wrong?" she asked, knowing the already clear answer.

"Sofia, do I even have to explain?" Amber cried. "Are you dating that old fool of a sorcerer?!"

"Amber, he is not a fool, and yes. Why does it matter to you?" she scoffed while crossing her arms.

"Because…" Why did it bother her? "Oh, because you're my little sister and I don't want you to get hurt." Ya, that was totally it, she thought to herself. "I'm so smart," she complimented herself.

"Amber I love him. I always have, I guess, in a way. He was always there for me since I came to the castle. Like he was once said, 'My door is always open,'" she chirped.

Amber looked at her with sheer terror. "My little sister likes a guy twenty years older than her," she thought, shocked beyond compare. "SOFIA, WE ARE GOING HOME RIGHT THIS INSTANT," she roared, "and I am not going to take no for an answer!" She hissed with a passion that was scary enough to send a poisonous rattlesnake back into his hole.

"Wait, Amber…" Sofia gasped as Amber dragged her helplessly away from her love and deep into the forest back toward home.

"NO, SOFIA. I did not just ruin a perfectly good dress that made me look all soooo good to get nothing in return," she snapped.

"Goodbye, Cedric!" she yelled, not sure he could hear her at the pace she was being taken away. "This is so not going to work out and I thought confessing my love was going to be the hardest thing I was going to do today," she thought. "I did not expect Amber to do this at all, especially because she ruined her new burgundy dress from Paris." She sighed, crying mournfully. She was also anxious about the confrontation she would get when she got home. Whatever happens, happens, she thought as she was dragged closer and closer to the castle. There is no way they could take me away from my man, she half-heartily told herself. "Oww, my head," she said dazed, bumping into a tree branch ("SO NOT FABLOUS," Baileywick proclaimed.)

(^-^)

"Well that could've have been worse," Cedric exhaled exasperated. "Oh, Merlin mushrooms," he groaned as he bumped into the table he made, spilling all the food and candles onto the floor. Then it became engulfed in flames. "Hmmmm…a metaphor for my love life," he joked. "Put out flameo." He casted and the flames disappeared, leaving the ruins of a once perfect date. "Well, I guess I spoke too soon…"

(^-^)

The two princesses arrived at the castle, both red faced for two different reasons. One was due to tears and the other was because of anger. You can probably guess which one belonged to which princess. "Amber, please don't tell Mom and Dad," Sofia begged between sniffs.

"Why shouldn't I?" Amber sneered. "I do not want you dating that buffoon. Now, please listen to me. This is logic telling you to knock off this romance before you regret it."

"Amber, I love him. Haven't you ever felt love before?" Sofia exclaimed.

Amber wavered. She told Sofia to sit with her outside the steps of the castle. "Of course, I have silly. I once loved Prince Hugo for two years! He was my childhood sweetheart, and then when I was sixteen, we started dating seriously. Those were the happiest days of my life. I would hum and sing all over the palace." Then a shadow seemed to sweep over her face. "At least those were the happiest days of my life until I discovered he was cheating on me all that time with my EX-best friend, Princess Clio."

"Oh…I'm sorry," Sofia slowly replied. "But that's different. Hugo was always full of himself like when we were flying derby partners. Cedric is completely different…please trust me when I tell you this." Sofia eyes began to water again.

Amber began to feel guilty, but she still didn't like the idea of her sister dating one of the castle staff, especially an elder staff member. "Fine. I won't tell them. But if he breaks your heart, DON'T COME CRYING TO ME," she screeched while briskly walking into the palace, leaving her sister stunned on the steps.

"Thanks…I guess?" Sofia responded. "And I thought life was starting to seem bright and beautiful; but now I feel awful," she sighed, too full of grief to enter her home. She just sat there, curled up in ball, replaying all the events of the day. Only a few hours passed by, but they felt so filled with life that it appeared as if months had already slipped by. For she couldn't fathom that this one day seemed to have set her life on a very different course, and had already changed her future forever.

(^-^)

Well I hoped you liked it (Chapter 1) :) I'll write Chapter 2 when I feel like it. This one only took me like a night and a day lol. So if you can't calculate, Sofia is eighteen, Amber and James are twenty-two, Cedric is thirty-eight (I didn't want to make him that old, but it's necessary for stuff I'm writing later on). TTFN= TA TA FOR NOW!
