Enchancia Castle was a chaotic mess. The Royal Bakers were trying to get the food and deserts done in a timely fashion, Baileywick was observing the maids as they made a couple of their spare rooms look clean and neat, and the royal family itself was busy getting ready themselves. All this because of another royal family from a far away kingdom had declared a few weeks ago that they were coming to Enchancia for a talk on trade for goods and services, as well as to get their prince to meet other princesses his age.

And that's where a now 15-year-old Princess Sofia, and a 16-year-old Princess Amber, come into play. Sofia was looking forward to meeting the Prince of Winterveil. From the talk around the castle and from those at her new school of Ever-Realm, he seemed like he could be a nice fellow. And after her recent heartbreak with Hugo going off to a different school, she decided it may have been time to move on.

So she was. Sofia was trying on different gowns she owned to see which one suited her more for the meeting of a Crown Prince, while Amber just complained about how her step-sister had nicer gowns than her.

"Where did this one come from?!" She exclaimed as she took a pretty blue one out. "And this one?!" She pointed towards another purple one. Sofia just rolled her eyes as she grabbed a pink gown from her closet and walked to her changing screen. She quickly changed into it and walked back to the mirror. She looked herself over, seeing how now at 15 she filled out her gowns more than she did as a child. Not by much, but still.

"Tell me the truth, Sofia," Amber began again as she was putting the gown she grabbed back, "how do you have nicer gowns than me?!"

"Mom makes them for me," Sofia answered with a smile and a nod, deciding this pink one was the gown to wear. "Which I don't mind. Makes me feel like a little girl again."

"Do you think she can make me one?!" Sofia giggled at Amber's question, before turning to her from the mirror. The blond princess was still at her closet doors.

"I don't see why not, Amber," She answered, seeing Amber's face light up.

"Oh, goodie!" She exclaimed with a hop and a twirl. "I'll ask her as soon as I can!"

Sofia just giggled once more before turning back to her vanity table, sitting down and grabbing some mascara. She gently put it on her eyelashes, trying not to poke her eye with it and then capped it when she was done. She then grabbed some pink lip gloss and went to put it on, when her sight landed on her old amulet. It was still pink in color. She grinned at the memories of the necklace.

When she first became a princess, her step-dad the king gave her the Amulet of Avalor as a welcome to the family gift and she had kept it on since. It guided her into being the Princess she was today, and the girl she always wanted to be. And as time went on, she became the Story Keeper. She went to different stories to make sure they got their happily ever afters, and soon became a Guardian in Training to protect the Ever-Realm. After the battle with Vor, she became exactly that. However, she still kept the title 'Princess of Enchancia'.

But after all that and three years later, the teen princess had decided to take the necklace off. She kept it safe in her room and since there hadn't been anyone trying to steal it lately, she felt it was fine having it out in the open.

"Isn't that your amulet?" Amber spoke up, making Sofia jump a bit and sigh.

"Yeah," She spoke back as she looked back at the mirror and applied a light coat of lip gloss to her already pink lips.

"Why'd you take it off?"

"I don't know," Sofia answered. "Felt like it was time to do so I guess?" But deep down, the auburn princess didn't think that was true. She really felt like it wasn't time. Like she still needed it in her life. But at the same time, she had learned more than she could at the school of Ever-Realm for young rulers. So it's not like she needed a princess coming to her to guide her anymore.

"Sofia," Amber began, as she walked up to her younger sister and stood behind her. She placed her hands on her shoulders and grinned, "I can see in your eyes that that's not true." Sofia just looked at her like she knew nothing, but Amber didn't seemed phased by it. "You should wear it today. I'm sure father will be happy to see it again!"

"Maybe," Sofia started to protest when Baileywick walked in. The young princesses looked over at him as he nodded and said that the Winterveil Royal Family had arrived. Amber squealed as she raced out of Sofia's room and passed Baileywick. He just bowed to Sofia and left the room after a moment as well.

Sofia sighed with content as she looked back in the mirror and nodded. "You got this," She said to herself before standing up and getting ready to leave, when she stopped and looked back at her amulet. It shined in the light as the sun hit it from the window. As she looked at it for a moment more, she decided to just grab it and put it back on as she left her room. She missed feeling it around her neck anyway.


King Roland II and Queen Miranda were sitting in the throne room when the King and Prince of Winterveil walked in to greet them. The King was older looking, with a long white beard and shoulder length white hair. His eyes were a bright icy blue and he seemed a bit chubby. He had a kind nature to his eyes and a sweet smile.

His son, on the other hand, was a thin and handsome young man. He had shorter white hair and the same icy blue eyes as his father. He also seemed to have a charm of a shepard's staff on a silver chain around his neck.

"Welcome to Enchancia!" Roland announced with a smile. King Nicholas of Winterveil (mostly known as King North) bowed towards him as he nudged his son in the elbow. The young prince bowed slightly before standing tall again.

"Thank you, King Roland and Queen Miranda," North replied, smiling as well as he stood straight up. "It is a pleasure to be here."

"The pleasure is all mine, King North."

Amber stopped at the door leading to the throne room and took a deep breath as Sofia ran up beside her. Her tiara crooked from bumping into her. She quickly fixed it, as well as dusted off her dress, while Amber walked into the room, or rather floated in. Sofia saw the Winterveil Royalty standing there with her parents. This was it. Her moment to show her family she could manage the duties of a teenage princess. So she took a deep breath before walking in after Amber.

Roland had noticed them and smiled before introducing them. "King North, may I present my daughters Princess Amber and Princess Sofia."

The young prince looked over at them and immediately, his blue eyes landed on Sofia's, seeing as her smile lit up her face. He blushed a bit, and thankfully no one noticed it. If his father saw, he wouldn't hear the end of it.

Amber was the one to curtsy first as she stood in front of Sofia for a moment. "It's an honor to meet you, your highness," She said with a smile as North bowed towards her as well. The blond princess then walked out of the way of Sofia, letting the auburn princess curtsy as well.

"Welcome to Enchancia," Sofia began, "I hope you find your stay here enjoyable." Roland immediately smiled brightly at how Sofia held herself together, just like how a teenage princess would act like. She had the right posture and her manners were perfect. He couldn't have been more proud.

It seemed that North thought that, too, as he bowed towards for a short moment and then saw as his son walked forward and bowed as well.

"Thank you, Princess," He said, as they stood straight as stared at the other. Sofia just grinned at him as he stared like a deer in headlights. He had never seen a girl like her before. "I-I'm sure we'll have a nice stay."

"I sure hope so," Sofia spoke with a giggle.

"Pardon me, your majesties," Baileywick spoke up. "The guest rooms are all set and ready for the royal visitors!"

"Ah, thank you, Baileywick!" Roland said with gratitude. "Our butler will assist you with anything you need and will lead you to your rooms."

"Thank you, your highness," North spoke before looking at Jack. "Come on, Jack."

Jack nodded to his father before looking back at Sofia. "See you around?" He asked, smiling now at seeing her smile.

"You most definitely will," She answered. At this, Jack had bowed to her again before following his father and Baileywick to their rooms.

Roland smirked at his two daughters before looking over at Sofia. "So what did you think you two?" He asked. "Do you like Prince Jack?"

"He's cute," Amber spoke with a smile. "But I wouldn't want to marry him. I already have someone in mind for that anyway."

"Sofia," Miranda began, "what about you? What did you think?" Sofia smiled up at her parents with her sweet eyes shining.

"He seems nice," She answered. "I can't wait to get to know him better."

"Oh, you will!" Amber exclaimed with a smirk. "They're staying for a few weeks. Maybe two."

"Oh, even better!" Sofia said before seeing the look in their eyes. "What?"

"In a few days, we're holding a ball in their honor," Roland stated, making Sofia look at him confused for a moment. "And I would love it if you were Prince Jack's date, Sofia."
