Sofia2017 planning asked about this classic Shirley Temple song, so enjoy your request! I thought that during the time Amber is turned into a baby (see chapter 26 of theblindwriter95's Sibling Team), Sofia and Cedric (yes, Cedric!) could sing this to Amber as she dances around with her favorite kitty. Cedric might even remember this from when Queen Melinda sang it. And as much as he hates to admit it, he really did like this song. Shirley Temple's music is not mine.

Sofia was watching Amber dance around Cedric's workshop with her favorite plush kitty. So far, the spell Cedric cast was going well. She had asked Cedric to turn Amber into a baby for an hour, just so Amber would know what it was like when they had chased James around when he had been turned into a baby.

Seeing her smile, Cedric whispered, "Penny for your thoughts?"

"I just remembered a song Mom used to sing when I was little," Sofia smiled, "She told me that whenever she sang it, I'd dance around the shop or the house. Sometimes she'd sing it while customers were in the shop, and they'd give her extra coins when they saw me dance; they thought I was that cute!"

"What was it?" Cedric asked, smiling as he pictured Sofia at that age.

"If I may?" Sofia asked, taking out her wand. When Cedric nodded, Sofia concentrated on the song she was thinking of, and waved the wand. She smiled when the song started, and even started singing along.

I've thrown away my toys,
Even my drum and trains,
I want to make some noise,
With real live airplanes.
Someday I'm going to fly,
I'll be a pilot too,
And when I do,
How would you,
Like to be my crew?

"Oh, Merlin's mushrooms, I thought I'd heard the last of that blasted song…" Cedric muttered when he heard the opening notes.

However, despite his attempt at looking irritated, he couldn't help but smile. He remembered Queen Melinda singing this when Amber and James were little. The three of them would dance around the throne room or the ballroom, and he and Roland would try to look annoyed, or even maybe a little nauseous, but Melinda knew they were enjoying this.

Cedric's flashback

Queen Melinda was in the ballroom with her two-year-old twins, singing that accursed song and dancing with them. She smiled as they giggled and danced around.

Cedric rolled his eyes. He quickly hid his look of disdain when Melinda looked toward him, innocently casting one of the children's favorite spells, making sparkles come out of his wand.

Beside him, King Roland whispered, "I know exactly how you feel, Cedric; I've never been a fan of this particular song myself, but I try to tolerate it for Melinda and the children."

"To each his own, sire," Cedric whispered, but Melinda noticed something.

"Roland, Cedric, are you two smiling?" she grinned, seeing the looks on their faces.

Roland grinned sheepishly. He knew when he'd been caught liking something. "Maybe..."

"Is it okay if I start with a smirk and work my way up?" Cedric tried to joke.

"Oh, you two..." Melinda chuckled as she continued dancing with James and Amber. "But you're right, Cedric; to each his own! Just because James, Amber, and I like this song doesn't mean you two have to!"

End flashback

Before he knew it, Cedric was singing to himself, On the good ship
Lollipop
It's a sweet trip
To the candy shop
Where bonbons play,
On the sunny beach
Of peppermint bay

"Ugh, now she's got me doing it!" he muttered when he realized what he was singing.

As Amber giggled and danced around with Duchess Kitty, Sofia grinned as she continued, Lemonade stands,
Everywhere
Crackerjack bands,
Fill the air,
And there you are,
Happy landings on a chocolate bar.

Even Cedric was giving a more genuine smile. He recalled how he used to make sparkles with his wand, and Amber and James would try to catch the pretty lights. Melinda would lift them up as they danced, and she'd try to catch the sparkles for them.

As she watched Cedric make the sparkles, Sofia picked Amber up and danced her around the room, she sang, See the sugar bowl
Do a tootsie roll
With a big bad devil's food cake

Sending up silent thanks that Baileywick wasn't going to come in and hear him sing this ridiculously sappy song, Cedric joined in, If you eat too much,
Oh, oh,
You'll awake,
With a tummy ache.

Sofia grinned as she heard Cedric singing with her. "Wait til I tell everyone about this!"

"You wouldn't!" Cedric gasped.

"Of course not!" Sofia giggled as she put Amber down, "You know that everything that happens up here stays up here!"

As Cedric breathed a sigh of relief, he and Sofia finished together, On the good ship
Lollipop
It's a nice trip,
In to bed you hop,
And dream away,
On the good ship
Lollipop

"And now, I need to wash my mouth out with soap!" Cedric shuddered.

"You loved it," Sofia giggled.

"And fortunately for me, Amber won't remember this!" Cedric continued, but he couldn't help but smile.

"Mister Cedric, are you smiling?" Sofia teased him as she picked Amber up again.

"Is it okay if I start with a smirk and work my way up?" Cedric quipped as she hugged him.

"Sing again!" Amber giggled as Sofia carried her to the couch.

"Maybe tonight, but how about another story first?" Sofia asked.

Amber smiled, and taking Duchess Kitty in her arms, curled up next to her sister as Sofia read another story.
