Hi. This is a Sofia the First tale. The Sofia of this fanfic is 10, and is close to the one from the canon. The only difference is: this Sofia became the Crown Princess of Enchancia nearly before her journey to free Princess Elena of Avalor. See my fanfic 'The Rise of Sofia'.
'Going to the Past' takes place after Sofia earned her Enchantlet and does not take into account future changes in the franchise and its characters. The Amulet of Avalor sent Sofia to decades on the past of Enchancia, to help her aunt Princess Matilda, who stills being a 12 years-old girl. She met her father Prince Roland at 10, her grandmother Grand Mum (named Queen Victoria, for this fanfic) and her grandfather King Roland I, who passed away without any grandchild.
I do not want to write a story with many chapters. This will be shorter than 'The Rise of Sofia'. So I want to make sure the readers can comment before the end of the story, which I hope not to leave unfinished, despite not having much time to write.
With the exception of the name Victoria, the other names, the characters and the other elements mentioned in this story belong to Craig Gerber and The Walt Disney Company.
'Going to the Past' is a little inspired on the motion picture 'Back to the Future', owned by Universal Studios.
On the next morning, Sofia leaves the guests room, and finds King Roland I.
- Good morning, Your Majesty!
- Good morning, Princess Amber. Going to the breakfast?
- Yes.
- Me too. Matilda will go to the Ambassadors Academy after our breakfast. I'll stay home, having fencing practice with my son.
Sofia becomes very excited and jumps once time.
- Really? I practice fencing, too. I love it!
- So would you like to join us? I can provide an outfit and a sword.
- It will be a pleasure, King Roland.
Later, King Roland, Prince Roland and Princess Sofia have fencing practice in one of the castle's rooms. All of them wear all white outfits. First, Sofia sees a match with her grandfather and father. Sofia discovers how her grandfather is good at fencing. Roland I wins by 4 to 2, but Prince Roland is not so bad. Sofia takes courage.
- Would you like to face me, Prince Roland?
- Sure. Aren't you afraid?
- Afraid? You don't know me, Prince Roland.
Prince Roland has a hard work to defeat Sofia by 4 to 3, and becomes very impressed.
- Wow! You are very good, Amber! Do you want another match?
- In fact, I would like to face King Roland.
- Are you sure?
- I'm ready, Prince Roland.
King Roland and Sofia take their positions for the match beginning.
- You will must change your strategy, princess.
- I have my skills, King Roland - Sofia says confidently.
- So here we go!
Sofia impresses her grandfather and father with her skills. They reach the score of 3 to 3. The next to score will win the match winner.
She makes a quick move escaping from the king's sword, throwing herself to the ground and sliding quickly to behind him. She lifts up quickly and places the sword on his back and marks the last point.
- Yes! I did it! - Sofia is very excited.
- Where did you learn this movements, girl?
- I have good teachers on my family and my Royal Guard.
- I think your relatives are very proud of you, Princess Amber.
Prince Roland joins them.
- I'm very impressed by you. My dad, too.
The trio remain practicing fencing for a few hours in the morning, waiting for the time to receive Matilda, coming from the test.
After all of this, the trio and Queen Victoria are in front of the castle main door waiting for Tilly. All of them on their usual outfits.
- Hello, there! - Princess Matilda says.
Tilly jumps twice very high and fall on her feet in front of her family. Sofia and her father laugh while King Roland complains.
- Matilda! I told you to not use your bouncing ability on the stairs!
The amulet gave Tilly the ability to bounce really high.
- Sorry, dad. I'm really happy. I passed on the test!
All of them congratulate Tilly.
- We're proud of you, Matilda. Everything will be ok on the academy - King Roland says.
- Thanks. But, dad, I would like to talk to you in your office, before the lunch. And I would like to have you there, little brother.
- Sure. Let's go - the King says.
- I don't know what you want, Tilly, but I'll go with you - Prince Roland says.
Queen Victoria calls Sofia to join her.
- Princess Amber, I would like to show you more of our castle and some of our paintings.
- It will be a pleasure, Your Majesty - Sofia says.
King Roland take his kids to his office, and the Queen takes Sofia to the ride in the castle.
A half of hour later, Queen Victoria is showing Sofia the four thrones in the throne room. There is a big red throne to King Roland, a yellow throne to the Queen, a smaller green throne to Tilly and a smaller and blue throne to Prince Roland.
So King Roland and his kids arrive, and Tilly says.
- Mom, Amber, I want to tell you the big news.
- What are they, Tilly? - Sofia asks.
- Well... There's no other way than saying directly. I would like to show you the next king of Enchancia. My dear little brother, Roland. Someday, Roland the Second.
Queen Victoria is very surprised. Sofia is surprised, too, but more about this thing happening now than the own happening.
Sofia can't say nothing. Specially when she sees the sun pin of the Heir to the Throne on her father's outfit, not on Tilly's.
- What did all of you do? - Queen Victoria asks.
Tilly says.
- Well... Amber already knows. I told her yesterday. I was thinking I really don't wish to be queen. I really want to travel during all the time, and I know I can be an ambassador. So I would like to do the two things. At the same time, my brother is so good with this royal duties... Someday he can be better as a king than myself as a queen. I told to my dad and my brother, and they agreed.
Queen Victoria gets closer to Prince Roland, a little worried.
- Roland, my dear. This is what you want?
- Yes, my mom. This is an unexpected job, but I can do it, and this is what I must do. Besides this, I can be a knight before being crowned.
Sofia gets close to her father.
- What can I say? Congrats, Roland.
- Thanks, Amber.
Sofia hugs Prince Roland.
- I think you'll be a great king some day.
- You are the most nice girl I met, Amber.
This is when suddenly Sofia's amulet starts to glow. Sofia talks to everyone.
- So.. This is it. The amulet is sending me back to my time. I can only say goodbye.
Sofia runs to hug King Roland, who says, hugging her.
- Ow, my dear. I'll never forget you.
- Me too! - Sofia's voice makes it clear that she will miss her grandfather, whom she knows she will never meet again. The brunette princess tries to not cry, walks away to see everyone at the same time and to be seen by them, as waves.
- Goodbye, everyone!
- Goodbye! - The others say gently.
So Sofia disappear under twinkling lights and a purple smoke.
- How sweet she is, my queen. - King Roland says to Victoria.
- I agree.
Tilly looks to Prince Roland, who seems to look away. Prince Roland says to her.
- Amber. Such a nice name.
Tilly and Bartleby still preparing the backgarden to the royal lunch and suddenly Sofia appears near them after twinkling lights and the purple smoke. Tilly gets closer to her and says.
- Sofia, my dear, you're back!
The two hug each other.
- Yes, I am. I missed you. I stayed out all day.
- All the day? But... You were here two or three minutes ago! What happened to you?
Sofia and Tilly take two chairs at the big table and sit down. Sofia looks happy.
- Aunt Tilly, I helped a princess from the past. What a incredible thing!
- Well... I think you did well, Sofia.
Then Sofia takes the sun pin she hid in her pocket and put it on her dress, on the left of her amulet. Tilly asks suspiciously.
- Sofia... Are you coming from our past? Are you that "Princess Amber" who helped me during my tests on the Ambassadors Academy?
- Yes. You got me. She was me.
- "Princess Amber", mmm...
- Aunt Tilly, you know the truth. You couldn't know who I really was.
- I know, my dear. At least we know now where you father took your sister's name. We may have forgotten your appearance, but he never forgot this name.
- So did nothing change? Everything is the same I knew from the old reality?
- It depends on the reality that you knew before going into the past. Maybe just the inspiration for Amber's name has changed.
- So who are my family?
- My dear. King Roland II is your father, and my brother. You became his daughter when he married your mother Miranda. Amber and James are his older children and became Miranda's children and your siblings. My mother is Queen Victoria. My father was King Roland I.
- So I think that nothing changed, Aunt Tilly. I met my grandfather. He was so strong and nice to me. I'll never forget him.
- Me too, Sofia. Me too. It would be best if we kept a secret about your trip to the past. Unless Roland or my mom asks about this.
- I agree, Aunt Tilly.
So King Roland and the others arrive, and the lunch begins. During this, Bartleby takes a engagement ring and asks Tilly for marriage. Tilly agrees, they put the rings on one another's hands and all family celebrate.
This is 'Going to the Past'. I hope everyone will enjoy this.
There will be an epilogue. I'm waiting for comments and suggestions. Any reported writing mistakes will be removed.
Thanks to everyone!
