Double Take

Summary: *James and Amber Mini-Series* These are the tales of the Enchancian Royal Twins, James and Amber, and the mischief they make, the lessons they learn, and the friendships they forge. Three-shot!

Disclaimer: I do not own "Sofia the First" or the Enchancian Twins! ;)

A/N: Thank you all for the feedback in the last chapter! :) And in response to Royal Detective, yes, I do intend to change the fact that there aren't many "twin" stories on here. ;) They deserve attention. Haha. Here we go!

Chapter 2: Fan-Tastic

Amber stood at a mirror in her room after she'd finished getting dressed for the day. She ran a brush through her hair as she sang nonsense songs, mostly the "la-la-la" patterns of "la-dee-da-da" or something along those lines. This was something she enjoyed doing in the mornings when she was preparing for the day: vocal exercises. She kept her vocal chords strong and clear, and she was able to go higher each time. In short, one day she would probably give Ariel a run for her money.

The blonde girl never noticed a visitor creep inside her slightly ajar door. She also didn't hear said visitor trip over one of her many pairs of shoes and fall with a silent yelp to the floor. She did, however, hear when a music box started playing.

Amber gasped and whirled around, surprised at the sudden intrusion. "James!" She frowned as she put the brush on her vanity. "What are you doing here?"

The younger twin grinned and sat on his sister's bed as he held up the music box in his hands. "Look what I found!"

She blinked and walked over to him, sitting down next to him as he opened the box, allowing the music to pour out again. "Where did you find this, James?"

"It was sitting on my bed when I woke up. I'm not really sure, honestly." He glanced at the girl, who seemed to have a perplexed look on her face. "Amber, something wrong?"

"No, no… It's just…" She turned her eyes to him. "That's the song Mom used to sing while I practiced fan dancing."

"Wait, that's a real thing?" He laughed, making the girl fold her arms and huff. "Sorry, Amber, but…fan dancing? You mean that's not something Hildegard just made up?"

"Of course not! It's fun, and it shows that a proper princess knows how to use a fan."

"See, I always thought it was used for three reasons: one, fanning when it's hot; two, hiding behind it when you're shy or trying to keep from laughing; and three, smacking people when they say something stupid." He laughed when she finally rolled her eyes and smirked. "You know, like you seem to enjoy doing to me? I still have a bruise from two days ago, you know."

"To be fair, dear brother, I wasn't trying to hit you. I was trying to get the bee that landed on you."

"You missed," he quipped, shrugging and smiling. "So show me this oh-so-special fan dance."

"Mm… Hang on just a minute." She stood again and walked over to her vanity, picking up the maroon fan she used often enough. She unlatched it, allowing the fabric of the fan to spread to its fullest expanse. "It goes something like…well, this." She held the fan before her face and moved it around as she danced to the music emitted from the box.

James shook his head in amusement. "You girls and your fancy dances…"

Amber paused and put her hands on her hips. "Says the boy who enjoys ballroom dancing more than me?" She grinned when he blushed lightly and laughed sheepishly.

"Hey, now, that's different. We had to learn those kinds of dances… Think about it, Amber. At balls or parties, more people are doing waltzes and stuff like that rather than fan dances. I guess maybe it's cool if it's like a contest or something, which, I'm sure, is just 'fan-tastic.'"

The princess gave her brother a pointed look, which he caught and grinned.

"But… Let's face it, Amber… I doubt you'll see a lot of people fan dancing at fancy events like that."

"That's not the point, James," she returned with a heavy sigh. "It's fun. It's princess-y. It's…different, I guess."

"Hmm…" James watched her for a few moments before nodding. "Yeah, I guess so…" He broke into a smile before sliding from the bed as Amber took the music box from him. "Come on! I want to try something." He grabbed her free hand and pulled her from the room.

"Slow down, James!"

To be continued…

A/N: Use your imagination as far as the type of music that's coming from the music box. :) I couldn't decide. The last chapter will hopefully be out by the end of Sunday. We'll see! *fingers crossed*

CedricAmber: Yes! I finally got around to writing it! I'm glad you liked it, and yes, I can just picture the "cold stare." :D It's a dangerous thing, I tell ya!

Sofia2015: Thanks so much, and eventually I'll get around to other types of stories.

Brave kid: Thank you!

Royal Detective: Aw, thanks! Yes, I do intend to change the fact that we're lacking in Amber & James family/friendship stories. That's sad to me. :( BUT it will change with some of the ideas I have in mind! :)
