"What to wear?" Sofia asked herself as she unpacked her bags.

She smiled as she thought about her warm welcome back. Had it really been five whole years since she left this room? She had felt like such a little girl back then, but now she was 18, a woman in her own right.

"Ahh, the purple one!" She laughed, picking up a favorite dress lined with tiny whilte pearls.

"Though it could use a bit of fanci-ing up." Sofia walked over to a sewing box she left under her bed.

"Oh!" She exclaimed as a diamond fell from her hair.

"These are perfect!" She said as she shook her head and another dozen fell onto the floor.

Sofia began to sew the diamonds into her dress. Cedric was so sweet to do a flower raining spell for her and Amber's return. Just like when she first came to the castle. Cedric was so coarse and closed off when she first moved here as a nervous eight year old. Over the years he really opened up to her. No one else seemed to appreciate his talents but she knew he was capable of great things. He proved her right many times when he had the confidence to do so.

She found she had thought about him a lot while she was away. Especially when she had a hard time learning spells. Cedric had always been such a big help to her and she was very fond of him... but she didn't understand these feelings she was having now. With every diamond she sewed into her dress she felt she was adding a piece of him onto her. Sofia was always a girl who knew who she was, and she had many friends. Many young Princes who had showed her plenty of attention... but none of them needed her... but she was being silly. She just got back home and she still needed to get ready for tonight.

"Sofia!" A familiar small voice called out to her.

"Clover!" Sofia yelled.

"Oh I've missed you Princess!" Clover jumped into her lap for a big hug.

"Papa?" Came a small voice from a hole in the wall.

"Ah, Sofia meet Jasper, Alice, Cooper and Little Sofia." Clover said as four little bunnies hopped into the room.

"Oh Clover! Are these your children?" Sofia asked.

Clover smiled. "They sure are! A lot has changed while you've been gone! Hey want some help with that dress? Little Sofia here is a whiz with thread!" Clover offered. Sofia smiled, knowing indeed a lot had changed.
