Prince Jake entered the huge, empty ballroom.
Jake was Victoria's best friend. He lived in Victoria Island palace with Tori as his parents, King Narser and Queen Jonna were too busy to look after him in his own kingdom.
"Hey, Tori, how are you doing!" he smiled.
"Oh, just fine. I became better at ice archery thanks to Sof." Tori smiled.
It's true. She aced the last few times.
"How about we go later together somewhere, huh?" Jake said.
Sofia cooed. "You should totally go, Tori! Look how much he likes you."
Tori was blushing. "Oh, I don't know about that. We're just friends."
"You say that now but in a few years you'll marry him." Sofia winked.
"Oh, just like you'll be married to Hugo?" Tori teased.
Sofia turned red. "It's not like I have a choice." she said in a haughty manner. "I will be betrothed, remember?"
"Yeah, look how freely and happy she teases us, but she doesn't like when someone teases her." Jake chuckled.
Sofia rolled her eyes happily.
"Alright, I'll go, but it's a friendship hangout, not a date!"
And she squeezed Jake's hands and went with him.
The next day.
In Trufflandia, Sandra was preparing the royal sleepover. Sof, Amber, Cammy, Sylvia, Miru, Dani, Andrea and Tori were comming.
"Come on, come on! Hurry! They'll be here any minute!" Sandra shouted to the servants exasperatedly.
Time was running out. It was getting late.
"We're hurrying, miss!" a servant yelled, running.
"Mom, dad, are you sure everything is in place?" she asked.
"Everything is ready, sweetie." said the king.
Everyone there was talking in a french accent.
Her parents were the rulers of Trufflandia, the ones who showed up at Aunt Tilly's wedding.
Soon enough, the place was set. And just on time.
The trumpets blew.
The royal steward announced: "Princesses Sofia and Amber of Enchancia".
Sofia and Amber hopped off the carriage. Clover followed suit, sniffing, as if looking for food around.
"Princess Victoria of Victoria Island".
Victoria came out a white coach decorated with red and purple ribbons.
A ladybug Coccinella came flying, and a little black dog Bones was tripping near Victoria's violet gown.
"Princess Sylvia of Ronchester."
"Princess Camelia of Galdiz".
"Princess Andrea of Paslaptis".
"Princess Daniela of Maresya."
"Princess Miruna of Funtasia."
An orange cat, Bizu, with a red ribbon on its neck hopped off the coach. Miru took it in its arms so he won't wander away.
The princesses climbed all the way in the big slumber party room that Sandra had.
There they looked around and gasped at how beautiful it was.
"I know right" Sandra smiled proudly. "Sit down, get comfortable, and have some serious fun!"
The princesses changed into their nightgowns. Suddenly, Bones saw Bizu. He growled furiously and chased after the cat.
"Bizu! Come back!" Miru fretted.
Bizu was running out, knocking down vases and things in the process.
They fell to the floor. But they didn't shatter. For Miru caught them with her eyes.
"Woah! Miru, I had no idea you had magic." Dani gasped.
"Yeah. I understand if you don't want to -"
"It's incredible! Awesome!" the girls beamed.
They circled Miru and started asking her sorts of questions.
Miru was proud of herself and smiling. She took Bizu magically. She put the cat down, who started purring.
Now Sofia could understand why Miru was fine after she accidentally hit her with the snowball. She was a witch.
"I'm sorry Bones caused trouble" Tori apologized.
"It's alright" Miru smiled.
"Now" Tori yelled "pillow fiiiiiight!"
She wanted to hit Sofia, but she hit Amber.
"My hair!" she gasped. "It is on!" she smirked.
The princesses had fun pillow fighting. Miru didn't use her magic, for she said: "It wouldn't be fair towards you."
Afterwards, they had a tea party. Suddenly, Sandra's older sister, Donna came.
She had black hair in a braid, and tan skin.
"Hey, sis. Wanna tell you something awesome?"
"Sure. What is it?"
"For my birthday, our parents decided to host a ball. Every royal from every kingdom will be there."
Sofia blushed, she's gonna meet Hugo. Amber smiled, she's gonna meet Desmond.
"That's awesome." Tori beamed. "I'm gonna meet Jake."
The princesses looked at her with smug expressions.
"Ahem. And James, and Sofia. And everyone else." Tori coughed, blushing like crazy.
They rolled their eyes. Then they continued playing till late. They went to bed like at 1 AM.
The next day, Tori was anxiously waiting for Jake in the ball room.
She was dressed in a beautiful red ball gown.
"Jake!" Tori said when Jake entered the ballroom. "What do you have there?"
"A little gift for my friend." Jake said, keeping himself from giving Victoria a kiss on the cheek.
Tori unwrapped it. It was a music box.
"Gosh, it's beautiful!" Tori beamed.
She went with Jake in the middle of the ballroom. There she turned the key of the music box around. A beautiful melody started playing.
They started waltzing together. They leaned and kissed. They quickly turned red, embarrased. Then Tori took a step back, tripped and fell down.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry." Jake apologized, covering his mouth. Then he extended his hand to Tori, but she ran away.
