Amber was just finishing up writing in her journal when James walked in.

"Hi Amber! I want to show you this new trick I learned with my yo-yo!" James stated excitedly.

"You know, you could knock..." Amber said closing her diary. Normally she would be annoyed with James but she felt to happy right now to be annoyed.

"Knocking isn't as fun as coming in and surprising everyone...is that a diary you were just writing in?" James asked.

"So what if it is? Plenty of girls have them." Amber defended.

"Yeah, but, what kind of stuff do you write in it? What dress you think you'll wear tomorrow?" James asked jokingly. Amber started to get annoyed.

"I'm deeper than that James. I don't always think about what I'm going to wear. I have feelings too, you know." Amber said looking down at her diary.

James walked over to Amber's bed and sat down beside her.

"I'm sorry, Amber, I know you have feelings and think about more than just what to wear. I just meant that most girls who keep diaries write about their crushes and as far as I know you've never liked anyone like that." James explained putting a hand on his sister's shoulder. It was a sweet gesture, and Amber realized this was one of James sweet brotherly moments, like when he taught Sofia how to fly on a horse.

"Well, James, until now, I never did like anyone like that. But I do now. In fact, I'm in love. That's what I write about in my diary." Amber confessed reason Amber wrote in her diary is because she felt that she didn't really have any true friends. Sure, she was one of the most popular, and beautiful princesses at royal prep, but she didn't have friends who really cared to know how she felt inside. The only people who considered themselves her friends were Hildeguard and Cleo, and let's face it, the both really only care about Hildeguard. Amber was strong, independent, and confident on the outside, but on the inside she felt lonely and unloved. Sofia always took those horrid feelings away from her.

James smiled upon hearing his sister say that she was in love.

"Wow Amber, I'm so happy for you!" James said giving Amber a brotherly hug. "But, do you mind if I ask you something?"

"I suppose it would be alright." Amber answered, hoping he wouldn't ask her if Sofia was the one she loved.

"How do you know you're in love? I mean, really in love? Some people think they're in love and they really believe they are but then they realize they aren't... how can you ever be sure?" James asked genuinely perplexed by the entire concept.

"Well it's like this" Amber explained. "When you feel like you are in love and you have absolutely no doubt that this is the person for you, then they are. But if you feel like you are in love with them and you have doubt, even the slightest bit of doubt, you aren't really in love with them. When you know, you really know."

"Ohhhh, so it's like throwing up?" James asked.

"WHAT?!" Amber asked shocked.

"Sometimes you get that shaky feeling like you're going to throw up. But sometimes you just think you're going to throw up and you don't. But when you really are going to throw up, you know for sure. You might feel like throwing up and not do it, but you never throw up without feeling like it." James explained.

"Oh my word, James. I can't believe you. You're lucky you're a nice person because you can sure have you're disgusting moments." Amber said. James laughed.

"Well, I heard you say I'm a nice person so that's good enough for me!" James said and they both laughed.

"I want to tell you something James. Only you can't tell anyone because I wasn't supposed to know myself." Amber cautioned.

"Okay, what is it?" Prince James asked.

"Well, I sort of over heard Sofia and Vivian talking. Vivian has a crush on you." Amber told him.

"No way... Princess Vivian? Me? Really?" James asked shocked and blushing.

"I'll never understand why, but yes, she has a crush on you." Amber assured teasingly.

"Brilliant!" James said happily.

"Do you like her or something?" Amber inquired.

"Only a little...or a lot." James answered smiling widely. Amber laughed happily for her brother. "Ever since she grew out her hair ( her bangs now go down to her eyebrows) she's been looking cuter and cuter." James added.

"Yeah, her old haircut was a crime against fashion! She looks much prettier now." Amber said laughing.

"I think I just heard the coach pull up! I bet Sofia would want to see my yo-yo trick!" James exclaimed jumping up from the bed and winding his yo-yo.

Amber and James raced down the stairs to the front door as Sofia was walking in.

"Sofia!" Amber and James both called out. But James reached her first.

"Sofia! You have to see my new trick!" James said as he began to do the trick. He swung the yo-yo all around until it went flying and hit Bailywick right in the head. He turned around and picked up the yo-yo.

"Prince James, you wouldn't be trying to do any dangerous yo-yo tricks in the castle, would you?" Bailywick asked with a smile.

"Sorry, Bailywick." James said taking the yo-yo as Bailywick handed it to him and turning back to Sofia and Amber. "I guess I need to practice more."

"Yes, but outside, please." Bailywick requested. "We wouldn't want a repeat of the family window incident, now would we?"

Amber and Sofia laughed, Bailywick returned to his duties, and James went outside to practice more. Neither of the girls knew what to say to the other. So Amber just stared at Sofia dreamily and Sofia just tried to hold eye contact even though she felt really awkward. She had promised Amber they would spend the rest of the day together and she was looking forward to it, but she was hoping it wouldn't be too awkward after what had happened this morning. She had noticed immediately that Amber wasn't wearing her usual gown. She looked so beautiful, Sofia was more choked up than usual.

"So...what do you want to do?" Sofia asked trying to break the awkward silence.

"We could dance together again." Amber suggested taking a step closer to Sofia. "Like we did last night."

Sofia took a step back feeling awkward. Amber smiled. She knew for a fact Sofia was in love with her, even though she still felt awkward and would shy away from showing it. Amber was now more determined than ever to get Sofia to open up to her about her feelings.

"Uh...I don't know Amber..." Sofia said shyly.

"Well it's a little too late for lunch, but maybe we can have a picnic dinner in your secret garden. Like your tea party for school. But just the two of us." Amber said smiling.

"Just the two of us..." Sofia repeated in her mind.

"Okay, Amber. A picnic dinner it is!" Sofia said smiling. She made another bold choice and took Amber's hand. Amber smiled widely and for the first time, intertwined their fingers.

SPOILER ALERT: Sofia is going to get kissed before the picnic ends. :)
