Now on Sofia The Second:

It was a cool summer Friday in mid June at Toron Prep Academy, a boarding school for young royals who were learning how to rule their kingdoms, Princess Maria of Tangu was in the dormitory bedroom that she shared with her best friends and roommates, Princesses Kelsi and Evie from the the Kingdom of Galdiz packing her belongings for the train ride home to Tangu for summer break.

When Kelsi came into the dorm room.

"Maria, hey, Maria," Kelsi called from the Valorgale common room. "are you ready to go home yet? The Toron Express will leave the both of us behind if we do not hurry!"

Oh great, Maria thought sourly. another summer with my perfect twin sister who gave the throne to my annoying younger brother by one year when it should have gone to me! Well, I'll just have to fix that once and for all!

In the Kingdom of Tangu, Chef Lars Andersen was setting out ingredients to teach Layla how to make goro, one of the desserts from his home kingdom of Norseburg.

When Layla entered the royal kitchen looking glum in front of her master.

"Miss Layla? Why are you so down?" Lars asked.

Layla just looked up at Lars and sighed.

"Do you remember my terror of a twin sister?" Layla asked Lars.

"I didn't even know you had a twin sister, Miss Layla." Lars said.

"Well, I do have an identical twin sister who is six minutes younger than me named Maria," Layla told her master. "and everything she is... I am not, ecample... while I'm not very good at sports except for Magiball, she is because she's not clumsy like I am."

The chef was confused, Layla sat down at the kitchen counter where the ingredients and equipment for the goro were set.

"And what would make Miss Maria such a terror?" Lars asked Layla.

"hasananaan,'ami 'aetat abn eamaha Sofia Tamimat min Afalwr, eindama kan ynbghy 'ana tuetih lmarya! Takhlit ean alearsh hataa astatae Rashid 'an yahkum Tangu hataa 'atamakan min 'an 'asbah tahiaan wamariaan 'aydaan turid aleursh!" Layla said to Lars quickly in Arabic, she always spoke Arabic when she was really upset.

"Whoa! Drink some water and calm down, Miss Layla," Lars said. "I can't understand you when you speak Arabic!"

Layla took a quick sip of water.

"Sorry, Chef Lars," Layla said. "anyway, Mom gave Cousin Sofia the Amulet of Avalor, when she should have given it to Maria! I gave up the throne so Rashid could rule Tangu so I could be a chef, and Maria also wants the throne!"

"Oh, I see," Lars said to Layla. "I guess you and Young Master Rashid don't get on too well with her?"

"You can surely say that again." Layla sighed.

Rashid trudged into the royal kitchen, he was not looking too good.

"Young Master Rashid!" Chef Lars called, rushing over to the only boy of the family.

Rashid then fell to the kitchen floor.

"Rashid!" Layla called.

Layla and Lars raced over to Rashid's location.

"Water! Water!" Rashid called hoarsely, his throat was dry.

"Pump some water, Miss Layla!" Lars called.

"On it!" Layla called back.

Layla went to the water pump to pump a glass of water for her thirsty younger brother.
