Sofia the First: Being Replaced

Part 1

"Which potion should I work on this time Wormy, the hair growth potion or the Perfect Potion?" Cedric asked his companion as he held up a piece of paper with the choices on it. The raven didn't squawk an answer but looked confused. A perfect potion, what would that do?

As Wormwood thought on this Sofia's familiar knock came to the door which made Cedric go to let the princess in." I guess you are ready for your lesson?" He asked Sofia as she excitedly jumped inside.

"Yep, I am." She answered.

Cedric grinned at her positive attitude as he made his way to his desk to get the supplies they needed for her lesson. Today, they were working on a plant growth spell. Earlier during the week Sofia had told him that they were going to start using spells on the enchanted plants they had at the green house and Sofia just knew she exceed in it yet hoped she wouldn't mess up on it either since Cedric and Flora had told her those kind of spells were harder to learn.

Once they had what they needed Sofia realized they needed to get a plant from the upstairs window. "Um Mr. Cedric, we sort of need a plant if we want to practice the spell." Sofia said as Cedric was about to sit down.

"Oh right. I'll go grab one from upstairs while you study the chapter on plants." Cedric said as he started to get back up. He really needed a nap after this lesson. All day he had zoomed to get his potions done and see to Queen Miranda's cake request with Chef Andre. Apparently, the queen wanted her food to make a grand entrance to wow her guests. The request might have been strange but he guessed he would have to see what the queen really meant this weekend at her ball.

Once Cedric picked a plant he started to make his way down the stairs but as he was about to take his next step it gave way a little bit making him tumble to the ground!

"Mr. Cedric! Sofia quickly got up from her seat and raced up to her friend "Are you okay?" she asked to the face-down sorcerer.

When he picked his head up he winced. "What just happened, usually the steps are sturdy and able to hold me up." Cedric question as turned his head to look at the damage. When the two friends looked at the stairs again they could see some of the steps had fallen all the way to the ground of the workshop floor.

"I guess some of those steps were getting old." Sofia said a bit surprised that the steps had held up after so many years and now they were getting old.

"I should fix that later; let's get back to your lesson." Cedric reminded her.

As Sofia began to help her friend up like she sometimes did she saw him wince again. "Are you okay Mr. Cedric? Should I get someone to help?"

Cedric tried to stand up on his left foot again but instead hissed. "I should probably get some help." Sofia informed him as she helped him sit back down. "You stay with Mr. Cedric, Wormwood. I'll be right back!" Sofia then raced out of the workshop door.

"Looks like my clumsiness caught up with me Wormy." Cedric told the bird as the raven flew down to comfort him.

As Sofia raced down the hall she found Baileywick talking with Violet. "Baileywick, Baileywick!" Sofia called as she quickly raced up to the grown-ups to grab his hand.

"What's wrong Sofia, shouldn't you be with Cedric for your magic lesson?"

"That's just it. Mr. Cedric is hurt!"

"He is?"

"Yes." Sofia answered.

"Let's go inform your father." Baileywick said as he led her with her hand in his. The steward could see the [princess was upset and worried. He didn't understand her fondness with the sorcerer but after two or three years he could see that Cedric was improving with his magic. Could the sorcerer had gotten hurt due to his clumsiness or did something else happen.

"Why don't explain to me what happened." Baileywick said in calm, soothing voice to comfort the girl. And that's what Sofia did she explained Cedric was getting a plant for their lesson when the steps of the workshop suddenly collapsed.

"Well don't worry princess; Cedric is going to be fine." Baileywick assured her as entered the gardens to inform her parents what had happened.

Later Cedric had been placed in the hospital wing of the castle. He had to be carried by two guards just to get down his tower. Now, here they were sitting outside of the room where the doctor that had taken care of Baileywick was examining Cedric. All five of the royal family was awaiting the doctor's news, including Amber and James.

"So you say it was the stairs that had made Cedric fall?" Roland asked Sofia.

"Yeah, it collapsed dad, Mr. Cedric said they were getting old." Sofia answered as looked at the ground.

"Well, I guess we can rule out his clumsiness." James said grinning which made Amber slap him with her fan.

"Owe, why did you do that Amber?" James asked glaring at his twin and rubbing his arm.

"Cedric has not messed up much this year. In fact, his work is actually almost like perfection." Amber said as she closed her fan.

"Yes, it would seem so." Miranda agreed.

"Daddy, if Cedric won't be able to fulfill his duties' who will be our royal sorcerer?" Amber asked.

"Are you suggesting we replace Mr. Cedric?" Sofia asked in shock." How could her sister suggest such a thing? If it was her decision she wouldn't replace a good friend!

"It's okay Sofia, we won't fire Cedric." Miranda assured her daughter as she patted the girl's hand. "What she means is we will hire a temporary sorcerer until Cedric is fully recovered and is able to move around."

"Oh." Sofia sighed in relief. "So who do you think it should be dad?"

As the king thought about this the twins began to suggest some people out of amusement. "Maybe, we should hire Greylock. Cedric would be so jealous he would jump out of bed faster." James said then laughed.

While Sofia thought it would be funny she knew it would stir Cedric's tempure."Maybe, we should ask Mr. Goodwin, Mr. Cedric's father to help." Sofia suggested.

"Yes, that does sound like a good choice Sofia." Roland said as he started to remember when Goodwin had work as royal sorcerer. Just then the doctor came out.

"So how is he?" Sofia asked as she jumped up and out of her seat, beating her father to the question which surprised Roland a bit but asked as well.

"He's going fine, he just need to stay in bed for a few weeks until we enter next month then we can move on to the crutches and we'll see how he does from there, Your Majesty. I will check on him in a couple of weeks." After giving his report the doctor bowed and left the royal family.

"Let's go check on Mr. Cedric." Sofia said to her family.

When the family entered the hospital wing they saw Cedric petting Wormwood. Having his pet there had seemed to make the sorcerer happy.

"How are you feeling Mr. Cedric?" Sofia asked as she walked up to her mentor. When she looked at him, his left foot was in a cast and was lying on the pillow. His left arm was bandaged up a bit which made Sofia think the doctor had forgotten to tell them this.

"I'm hurting a bit but the pills the doctor gave should help with the pain." Cedric said as he continued to pet the raven in his lap.

"Uh Cedric, since you will be in bed for a while there is something we need to discuss." Roland said.

"Well, you probably won't be able to fulfill your duties as a royal sorcerer; we thought we should have another sorcerer here until you get better." Miranda said.

"And who did you have in mind, Your Majesties?"

"Greylock." James teased

"Grey...lock?" Cedric asked as his eye twitched at the notion. "Surely they Jest" he thought in his mind.

"No Mr. Cedric. We thought of your father." Sofia said assuring him that they wouldn't making his blood boil while he was resting.

"That's better." Cedric smirked at her.

"We'll let you get some rest now, Cedric." Miranda said as she lead the children out of the room.

Once the royal family left Cedric they went back to their duties. "I'll send a message to Mystic Meadows to inform Goodwin what's going on." Roland told the others as went to find Baileywick but was stopped by Sofia.

"Actually dad, can I go instead of the messenger. I think I could tell Mr. Goodwin and Winifred gently." Sofia asked, she hoped her father would let her go.

"Okay, but be back by dinner time. And if they want to tell them they are welcome to stay at the castle. They can come anytime."

"Okay dad." Sofia said as left to find a coachman to take her destination.

When the flying coach landed in Mystic Meadows the coachman helped her out and told him to wait here for her.

As she searched for the right cabin Sofia hoped that when she broke the news to his parents about Cedric Goodwin wouldn't throw some negative comments about the incident out. The last thing her friend needed was his father's negative thoughts.

When she arrived at the familiar cabin she stood there and thought about how strange it felt visiting her mentor's parents without him. Usually when she came to visit he accompanied her, now she felt sad. Maybe she should have asked Wormwood or even Clover to come with so she wouldn't have been so lonely.

After taking a deep breath she knocked and waited for someone to answer. When the door opened Winifred stood there and looked around.

"Hello Princess Sofia, where is my Cedykins? He usually comes with you." Winifred asked

"Hello Miss. Winifred, I'm afraid I have something to tell you. May I come in?" she asked sadly.

Seeing the tears coming to the girl's eyes she could see something had happened to her Cedric. "Yes, do come in princess." She stepped aside to let the girl in and conjured up a tissue for her. "You sit here dear while I'll go get Goodwin.

When Winifred came back with her husband she was glad to see Sofia had stopped crying. "Now dear, tell us what's going on." Winifred said gently as she sat beside the girl to comfort her.

"Mr. Cedric and I were getting ready for our magic lesson. We were going to use spells on plants so when he came down the stairs with one some of the steps collapsed and he fell down the stairs and he broke his left foot. So I came here to ask if you would be able to come out of your retirement and fill in for Mr. Cedric until he gets better."

"My Cedric is hurt? Goodwin, we must go to Enchancia!" Winifred said as she got up to go back her bags.

"You mean to tell me you're coming too?" Goodwin asked.

"Yes, my son is hurt Goodwin so we both will go!"Winifred said to her husband with a determined voice. "You will fill in for Cedric, while I shall help go take care of him."Once the old sorcerers had their bags packed they followed Sofia to the awaiting coach.

"Now let's go see my Cedykins."

"Her mother instincts have kicked in yet again." Goodwin whispered to Sofia making her grin.

When they reached Enchancia Winifred jumped out of the carriage to race to the hospital wing. When she reached the room she found her son in his purple pajamas reading with a napping raven in his lap. But the nap was soon interrupted when Winifred raced up to him.

"Oh Cedykins, how do you feel?" Winifred said worriedly as she took his face in both of her hands.

"I'm fine mother. I'm in pain but fine." Cedric said as he hugged her.

"It is hard to believe you have broken another bone." Godwin said as he greeted his son.

"Hello father." Cedric greeted him.

As the visit continued Sofia decided she better get to dinner and let her mentor visit his parents. She could see the visit had made him feel better.

That night before she went to bed the princess decided to go say goodnight to him. When she there she climbed the bed.

"Did you enjoy a visit from your parents, Mr. Cedric?"

"Hmm, yes, it seemed like eternity since I've seen mother act so worried."

"Well, I came to say goodnight and apologize about today's incident."

"It wasn't your fault Sofia. It was the stairs." Cedric said as he rubbed his left leg.

"I don't think blaming furniture is going to help anything Mr. Cedric."

"True, now you better run off to bed, you got school tomorrow and a sorcery lesson." Cedric said winking.

"A sorcery lesson?" She asked confused.

"Yep, father is going to teach you."

"It won't be the same without you Mr. Cedric."She said as tears came to her eyes again.

"I know but once I'm able to get around again things will be back to normal." Cedric said as he wiped her tears away. "Now, off to bed with you." Sofia hugged him then made her way out hoping that he was right.

A/N: I wanted this to be a One-Shot but it looks like the story is going to be longer than I thought. Maybe the next part will complete the story.
