The Night Before and The Three Roads Hotel

At the library they, Hugo and Sofia, worked on all their homework they could before King Derek came to get them. He said he had just finished with the last of the work needed for the next day. As they all got into the carriage, King Derek sitting on one side with Sofia and Hugo sitting next to each other, turned to his son to ask "So how is the ice dancing going for you? Got your parts ready?"

Hugo smiled as he looked to his father happy to talk about something easy that he also really loved. "Ya Sofia and I have been working really hard the last few weeks for the upcoming show. I know you have been working hard for us on the paperwork to let the whole class go. So Sofia told me that we needed to work just as hard in our practices. We have really gotten down our routine right Sofia?" Hugo turned to look at her with that last bit. His eyes told her how happy and excited he was about the whole show they were going to be doing in only a few short days.

"That is right King Derek. But it is more thanks to Prince Hugo that we have because without his help I would have never gotten down all the moves for our routine in time for the show." Sofia said with a huge smile on her face. "Hugo really helps me out a lot when it comes to ice dancing you know."

King Derek smiled and just said "As long as Hugo is having fun. Besides Princess, if it wasn't for you in the first place he wouldn't have tried it at all. And I do have to thank you for always being such a good teammate and partner to my boy here."

"No problem your Highness. I really enjoy working with Hugo for the ice dancing shows and in class." Sofia said the smile having never left her face. Out of the corner of her eyes she caught the smallest blush coming across Hugo's face when she said she enjoyed working with him. Not thinking it more than Hugo feeling a little embarrassed Sofia turned back to the King sitting across from them to move on to the next topic.

"Well it is good to hear that you two get along so well. I hear that this show being held at the Three Road Hotel isn't like anything you have ever seen or heard of. It's said that things can get really wild there during the stay of the ice skaters. So Hugo, you make sure to keep Sofia safe when Miss Flora or I aren't around. I know you can take care of yourself but make sure nothing happens to Sofia. If you don't you might be out of a partner for the show." King Derek's face took on a serious look as he said the last part to his son.

"I will dad. No worries. I won't let anything bad happen to Sofia well we are there." Hugo said with just as serious of a look on his face as his father.

Sofia looked from father to son with a bit of worry showing on her face before asking. "What kind of things happen? Is it really so bad that we have to be really careful even when we're with the whole class?"

"Oh yes Princess, it can get quite bad at times. The things that can happen at this show. Why I was reading some of the reports about some the pass happens just the other day." King Derek responded. "some of it is small but can stop a team or pair from performing. Things like one or more of their skates being taken by one of the other pairs, teams, or even classes. But there are things that happen like skaters getting badly hurt the day before or day of the show and then not being able to skate for the show. Most of the time they take days or even weeks before they can skate recovering before they can get on the ice again."

"Ya, my dad's right Sofia that stuff has happened to almost every one of the huge ice dancing shows that the Hotel has ever hosted. But don't worry I'll make sure nothing happens to you. So you just relax and focus on the show and your part okay?" Hugo said. His face lightens up a little as he smiled to try and easy the princess's nerves about what could happen.

"Ah we're here. Coachman take us down, would you? Sofia do you think I could talk to your dad for a bit? I have some business with him before me and Hugo can leave." King Derek asked as he looked out the window and down at the castle that was Sofia's home.

"Oh sure I don't think dad would be busy right now and should be able to talk with you. We just have to ask Baileywick. Which it looks like he is already waiting for us." Sofia said as the coachman landed the carriage in front of the double doors of the castle courtyard.

King Derek got out first followed by his son Prince Hugo. As Sofia got up to get out Hugo turned to help her out like the prince he was. As their hands met the small blush that had been on his face most of the ride because a little darker in color.

"Are you okay Prince Hugo?" Sofia asked worry showing on her face and in her voice as she looked at Hugo's face.

Hugo just looked away as he said "F-f-fine Princess Sofia."

"Well, your face just got really red again. You're not feeling sick are you?" Sofia tried again.

"N-no I feel just fine. Let's go we don't want to lose my dad." Hugo said as he again offered his arm to Sofia.

"Okay if you're sure then." Sofia said as she took his arm and let him lead her into her own home. They followed behind King Derek and Baileywick as the two adults walked to the king's study.

"It is a great time to talk. King Roland has just got done with his meetings for the day and will be free till it is time for dinner." Baileywick said as he walked up to the doors that lead into the study and knocked.

There was a "come in" from not only the king but the queen as well from the other side of the door. Hugo and Sofia walked up to stand beside Hugo's father King Derek as the doors to the study were opened. Baileywick went inside first and stood to the side announcing the arrival of King Derek and his son Prince Hugo as will as their daughter Princess Sofia.

King Roland and Queen Miranda got up from their chairs that they had been sitting in and greeted the two royal visitors. Miranda came over to give a hug to Sofia and welcome her home at the same time.

"Well, this is just perfect timing on your part King Derek. I was hoping to talk to you before you all left tomorrow for the ice dancing show." King Roland said as he shook hands with King Derek.

"Oh, that is good to know, King Roland because I have a few thing to talk to you about as well my friend." King Derek said giving one of his laughs as he let go of King Roland's hand.

"Well then it seems we have a lot to talk about. Maybe you and Prince Hugo would like to stay for dinner then?" King Roland asked as he took a look at the time.

"That would be great. I loved to stay for dinner. How about you Hugo? Would you like to stay for dinner as well?" King Derek asked his son.

"Yes, I would like to have dinner with Sofia and her family if that is alright." Hugo said as he turned to King Roland.

"It would be great to have you with us for dinner tonight Hugo." Queen Miranda said before turning to Baileywick "Baileywick can you have two more places at the dinning table set for our guest?"

"Of course your highness. It well be my pleasure to see it done right away." with that Baileywick was off to the kitchens to tell the cook and the staff that two more were joining the royal family for dinner that night. And to have their places set up right away.

"Well, now this might take some time so why don't you and Hugo go find Amber and James, Sofia?" King Roland asked as he looked at the prince and princess that had been arm in arm this whole time.

"That's a great idea dad. I bet they're out in the gardens right about now." Sofia said as she started out the door talking Prince Hugo with her. They both waved as they went saying they would see the others at dinner in a little while. "Come on the garden is this way. Amber is most likely having tea but I bet James is having fun with Rex right now."

Hugo had to pick up his footsteps as they walked to keep up with Sofia's faster-moving steps. They both were almost running to the back of the castle. As Sofia had thought they found James playing with his dog Rex but no Amber in sight. Hugo didn't mind they they didn't see Princess Amber anywhere. 'Just as long as I can still spend some time with Sofia' he thought to him self.

James had spotted them and was coming up holding a ball he had been throwing for Rex to run after. He was of coursed trailed by the same dog as they both made a beeline for Sofia and Hugo. "What's up Sof? Thanks for seeing my sister home safely Hugo." James said once he was in hearing range of the two.

"No problem it was my honor to see Sofia home safely." Prince Hugo responded.

"Not much just waiting for dinner while dad talks to Hugo's father." Sofia said before taking another look around. "James do you know where Amber is?"

"Amber is in the castle. Said something about making sure the trunks were packed with the right things and clothes or something along that line." James said before turning to Prince Hugo to ask "So what does your dad need to talk to mine about? Do you know?"

Hugo looked from Sofia to her brother James before answering "I am guessing it has to do with us leavening for the show tomorrow. My dad's been making sure to go around letting the other Kings and Queens of the princesses in class know what is going to be happening and when. Some of them are going to be able to make it to see their girls ice dance in the show. A few can't get away from their royal duties and are having to send someone else family wise to go watch it in their place."

In truth, Hugo knew the talk his dad was having with King Roland was all he had just said. But it most likely included also talking about how bad things behind the scene were going to get at the ice dancing show too. His dad didn't say as much about it to the other kings as he was to Sofia's dad right now thou. That was mostly because Sofia was his ice dancing partner. Hugo's father had talked to him about the fact that being the only boy in their class and such a great ice dancer would mean that many of the other skaters would want to take him out. They would more likely go after Sofia seeing her as his weak point in the show. Hugo was worried for her but couldn't say anything more than his dad had said earlier for fear of making Sofia worry too much. No Sofia needed to keep focus s that she could do her part in their routine.

'I can't let anything happen to her.' Hugo thought not noticing that he was being talked to and had been asked something by Prince James.

"Oh, Hugo are you listening to me man?" James said as he waved his hand in front of Hugo's face.

"Wh? Oh sorry, I was thinking about something. What were you asking?" Hugo said as he rubbed his neck again.

Sofia had taken note of a number of times he would do this over the times they had been ice dancing classmates and partners on the ice its self. Hugo only did it when he was caught off guard by something that was asked. Or if he felt embarrassed about something. Still, she didn't know why she always seemed to notice when Hugo did it. Or why it seemed to matter to her that he was either caught off guard or embarrassed at all. All she knew is that it was happening more and more as of late and she didn't know why most of the time.

"I was asking if what Sofia had been told about this upcoming show of yours was true. You know about how things happen to the ice dancers behind the scenes?" James said as he seemed worried about his younger sister.

Hugo sighted as he looked up to the sky and then back down to James before answering. "Yes it is. Skates really go missing and some of the skater really do get hurt before the show." The worry on Jame's face grew at this news so Hugo went on. "But don't worry man I won't let anything happen to your sisters. I will keep a look out for them to make sure they are okay."

James nodded his head to that just as a bell was heard. A maid came out to let them all know dinner was ready. The three went back into the castle and headed to the dinning room. They met up with Amber along the way and held marry chat about the ball that would be hosted the next night to welcome all the ice dancers to the Hotel. It was an easy going night for the rest of dinner. The rest of the family headed off to take care of things as Sofia saw King Derek and Prince Hugo off.

"See you tomorrow and have a safe trip back home." Sofia said as she bowed to King Derek.

"Goodnight Princess. Make sure to get lots of rest for tomorrow. I need you in top shape." King Derek said as he climbed into his coach and waited for his son.

"Goodnight to you Prince Hugo. See you in the morning." Sofia said as she went to bow again only to be stopped as Hugo took her hand bowing over it before leaving a kiss on the back.

"Goodnight Princess Sofia and may you have sweet dreams tonight." Hugo said in a sweet low voice of his own. His face turning bright red as he did so. He stood up and went to the coach that already held his father inside. He took one last look and waved at Sofia before the coach took off and up into the air. It was heading back to King Derek's kingdom.

Sofia went back inside the castle and straight to her bedroom. Clover, Mia, and Robin were there waiting for her already having gotten out her nightgown.

Hopping onto the bed Clover asked "So are you ready for tomorrow Princess?"

With one of her light laughs, Sofia looked over her shoulder as she talked to Clover. "As ready as I am going to be. Hugo has been helping me a lot."

"Well as long as your happy Sof that is all that matters." Clover said as he turned down the bed for her.

"How long are you going to be going for?" Mia asked as she flew to the other side of the bed to help Clover turn it down for the night.

"The rest of this week and all of next week." Sofia said as she climbed onto her huge bed. It had been replaced with a bigger one than the one she had when she first came to the castle. It was done because she was growing bigger and was now in the last year of her pre-teens.

"That long?" Well, we're going to miss you while you're gone Sofia." Clover said as he hopped to his spot at the end of the bed.

"We are going to miss you a lot while your gone sweetie." Robin said also moving to the post that had been set up for both the birds a few years before hand.

"I'll miss you guys as well. But it really isn't going to be that long. The time will fly right on by for you while I am gone." Sofia said as she pulled the covers up and over herself. She played back the day's events as the light were put out for the night and room became dark.

"Ya the will go by fast for us all. You make sure to have fun while you are gone now Sofia." Clover said before shutting his eyes for the night and falling fast asleep.

"I will. Goodnight guys." Sofia said as she followed Clover, Mia, and Robin into the world of dreams. All was quite in the castle as everyone went to bed each dreaming of different things. Sofia having a sweet dream of being held by Prince Hugo as they dance on a ballroom floor alone. Soft music played in the background.
