My Adventures With Sofia The First

Chapter 9 Bobby&Sofia Help Clyde Conquer Fear Of Heights.

The next day would be a great one for Bobby because he would be helping his dad with fear of heights,

Sofia- Good morning Bobby, how are you today?

Bobby- I'm doing wonderful your highness.

Sofia- Sorry I had to be a little tough on you yesterday, but it was to help you to be more responsible with magic.

Bobby- Yeah I know that.

Sofia- Well I see you want to help your dad overcome fear of flying.

Bobby- That is correct your highness.

Sofia- Well I can help you do that Bobby, but first me and you are going to have to talk him into giving it a second chance.

Bobby- How are we going to do that, it will be nearly impossible.

Sofia- I know, but we just have to keep talking to him.

Bobby- Oh, here comes dad now.

Sofia- Good morning, Mr Clyde.

Clyde- Good morning your highness.

Bobby- Dad, there is something me and Sofia want to talk to you about.

Clyde- What would that be?

Bobby- Your fear of heights, we want to help you overcome them.

Clyde- I don't think that will work Bobby, but you can try that is all.

Bobby- Okay, but we will need to borrow that recliner that you sit in.

Clyde- How is my chair going to help me?

Bobby- I mean you in it dad.

Clyde- How is me sitting in that chair going to help?

Bobby- Just come with us and you will see what we are talking about.

Bobby,Clyde and Sofia went into the living space where the recliner was.

Bobby- This ceiling is too low, the chair will have to be outside.

Clyde- Outside, but this chair is too heavy to drag outside.

Sofia- No problem, there is one that is sitting outside, we can use that one.

Bobby- Never thought of that one, come on dad.

Clyde- Never thought of that chair, but still I don't see the point of a chair helping with my height fear.

Clyde sat down in the chair.

Clyde- I'm in the chair now, what next?

Sofia- Bobby, here you go.

Bobby received the wand from Sofia.

Sofia whispered into Bobby's ear and told him how high to levitate the chair.

Bobby- Got it your highness.

Bobby pointed the wand at the chair and the chair started levitating off of the ground.

Clyde- Wait now said Clyde in a nervous tone.

Sofia- Just relax sir, its the only way.

Clyde- What do you mean the only way, this chair is as high up as that maple tree.

Bobby- I know dad, but the chair is suspended and not going nowhere and yes the chair is 20 feet from the ground.

Clyde- I can see that, but set the chair back down please.

Sofia- Set him down now.

Bobby- Okay, here goes.

Bobby sat the chair back on the ground.

Sofia- Well that was kind of a great start.

Bobby- Yeah we just have to keep trying until we get him over this.

Sofia- I know, but we have to take it a little at a time though.

Clyde- I might let you all do this again later this afternoon.

Bobby- Okay dad.

Amber- Well I see you all are trying to help him overcome height phobias.

Bobby- Yeah, but its going to be tougher than I thought.

Amber- Don't be so tough on yourself, these things take time.

Sofia- Amber is right, we need to go along easy and not rush things.

Bobby- I agree with both of you.

Later that afternoon, Clyde came back out when it was more cool because it was too warm outside.

Bobby- Oh your back outside.

Clyde- Yeah I thought I would give this another chance for you.

Bobby- Sure why not.

Bobby- Sofia,Amber come here I need your help in this.

Sofia- Coming Bobby.

Amber- Me too as well.

Bobby- Dad says he wants to give the chair levitation test another chance.

Sofia- Okay, here is the wand Bobby.

Bobby- Thanks, but there is one thing this chair needs, and that is a safety harness.

Sofia- Great thinking Bobby, I haven't thought of that, Amber, go and get that harness for me please?

Amber- Got it, will be right back.

Sofia- Don't do anything yet Bobby until Amber returns with the harness.

Amber- I'm back, now to get your dad safely fastened in.

Bobby- Okay, lets get this started.

Clyde- Okay, I am ready now to do this.

Sofia- How about 5 feet to start off with Bobby, then gradually increase height to 10, then to 15 and so forth.

Bobby- Okay, Dad are you ready?

Clyde- Ready son.

Bobby- Okay here goes said Bobby.

Bobby waved the wand and levitated the chair 5 feet from the ground for at least 2 minutes.

Bobby- Okay dad, how are you doing so far.

Clyde- I'm doing okay for now.

Bobby- Don't be scared dad, just relax.

Clyde- Okay, I will.

Bobby- Okay dad, 2 minutes have elapsed, time to raise her to 10 feet now.

Clyde- Okay, ready for it.

Bobby increased the height to 10 feet.

Bobby- Okay dad, you're at least a story off of the ground, how are you doing now.

Clyde- I'm doing fine son, I am starting to like this.

Sofia- Alright, I knew we could do this, okay Bobby 15 feet now.

Bobby increased the height to 15 feet as instructed by Sofia.

Bobby- Okay dad you're 15 feet up now, but how would you like to have a birds eye view of the neighborhood.

Sofia, that would be great but not too far up, the air is thin at high altitudes, so 80 feet at the max should be fine.

Bobby- Okay your highness.

Bobby- Dad, were going to take you to at least 80 feet so you can see the whole neighborhood from that height, then move the chair in a pattern like a helicopter flies, only thing is you won't have to worry about dangerous rotor blades, this is all magic produced.

Clyde- Okay, go for it.

Bobby slowly raised the chair, but Sofia kept an eye on the pocket altimiter she was carrying with her.

Sofia- Okay Bobby 80 feet, time to level out and move around some, then bring him back in okay.

Sure your highness said Bobby.

Bobby moved the airborne chair around and landed it and took his dad out.

Bobby- Dad, how did you like the ride so far.

Clyde- It was fun Bobby, thanks for helping me overcome my height fear.

Bobby- You're welcome Dad.

Sofia- Well Bobby, I think we did it here, this will come in handy when we get stuck in traffic meyhem and need to fly over the mess.

Bobby- Yeah I know, I get annoyed by those.

Sofia- Ever thought about converting that car into a winged masterpiece.

Bobby- How is that.

Sofia- Well we add some wings which will fold up along with an engine driven prop, also a tail section for climbing and descent as well, the wings, propeller, and tail will be hidden during regular road travel, but will be activated by a button press.

Bobby- Sounds like a plan to me your highness.

Sofia- We will plan out the design the next day.

Bobby- That will be okay with me your highness, but we will need a giant sheet of paper to draw this out on.

Sofia- No problem, I have some right here.

Bobby- Neat, that will work, now all we need to do is think of the design idea.

Sofia- We will think of that tomorrow Bobby, right now we need to go and think of what to eat for dinner okay.

Bobby- Yeah, forgot about that, lets find something to prepare.

Bobby and the others went inside for the rest of the day and prepared the evening meal then played a few games also as well too.
